From understanding the anatomy of these areas to comparing various techniques and maintaining your results, we’ll cover everything you need to know to make an informed decision in the heart of Beverly Hills’ beauty scene.   Understanding Neck and Jawline Anatomy   Key differences between neck and jawline The neck and jawline are distinct anatomical regions with unique characteristics:   Feature Neck Jawline Structure Soft tissue, muscles, fat Bony framework, skin Function Supports head movement Defines facial shape Aging signs Sagging, wrinkles, bands Loss of definition, jowls Treatment focus Skin tightening, fat reduction Contouring, volume enhancement Common aesthetic concerns for each area Neck concerns: Double chin (submental fat) Turkey neck (loose skin) Platysmal bands Horizontal neck lines Jawline concerns: Lack of definition Jowls Asymmetry Weak chin projection How aging affects these areas differently Aging impacts the neck and jawline in distinct ways: Neck: Skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging Fat accumulation in the submental area Muscle laxity causing visible bands Jawline: Bone resorption alters facial structure Decreased collagen production leads to skin laxity Gravitational pull creates jowls and marionette lines Understanding these anatomical differences is crucial when considering contouring treatments. Now that we’ve explored the unique characteristics of the neck and jawline, let’s delve into specific contouring techniques for the neck area.   Neck Contouring Techniques   Non-surgical options Non-surgical neck contouring techniques have gained popularity in Beverly Hills due to their minimal invasiveness and shorter recovery times.

Now that we’ve explored jawline contouring methods, let’s compare them to neck contouring techniques to help you make an informed decision.   Comparing Neck and Jawline Contouring   Treatment goals and outcomes When comparing neck and jawline contouring, it’s essential to understand the distinct goals and outcomes of each procedure:   Aspect Neck Contouring Jawline Contouring Primary Goal Reduce excess fat and skin Define and enhance jawline Target Area Submental region, neck Mandibular angle, chin Common Concerns Double chin, turkey neck Weak jawline, lack of definition Results Smoother neck contour Sharper, more defined jaw Cost considerations The cost of neck and jawline contouring can vary significantly based on several factors: Procedure type (surgical vs. non-surgical) Extent of treatment required Practitioner’s expertise Geographic location (Beverly Hills tends to be higher) Dr. Mashhadian at Rodeo Surgical Art offers personalized consultations to discuss specific pricing based on individual needs and goals.   Combination approaches for optimal results For many patients, combining neck and jawline contouring techniques can yield superior outcomes: Kybella + Fillers: Non-surgical option for mild to moderate concerns Liposuction + Jawline Implants: Surgical approach for more dramatic results Neck Lift + Chin Augmentation: Comprehensive rejuvenation for aging concerns At Rodeo Surgical Art in Beverly Hills, Dr. Mashhadian specializes in tailoring combination approaches to achieve harmonious, natural-looking results.

Are you fighting a losing battle against the hands of time? As we age, those pesky wrinkles start to make their unwelcome appearance, leaving us wondering if we could have done something sooner. Enter preventative Botox – a revolutionary approach to maintaining youthful skin that’s taking the beauty world by storm.   But here’s the burning question: When is the right time to start?  Too early, and you might be jumping the gun. Too late, and those stubborn lines may have already set in. Dr. Mashhadian, a renowned expert in the field, has the answers you’ve been searching for. In this post, we’ll dive deep into the world of preventative Botox, exploring everything from the science behind wrinkle formation to the ideal age to begin treatment.   Get ready to unlock the secrets of ageless beauty as we explore Dr. Mashhadian’s unique approach, the long-term benefits of early intervention, and essential considerations to keep in mind. We’ll also touch on complementary skincare practices that can enhance your results. So, whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or beyond, buckle up for a journey that could change the way you think about skincare forever!   Understanding Preventative Botox   Definition and purpose Preventative Botox, also known as “Baby Botox” or “Prejuvenation,” is a proactive approach to wrinkle prevention. Unlike traditional Botox treatments that focus on reducing existing wrinkles, preventative Botox aims to stop wrinkles from forming in the first place. By targeting specific facial muscles responsible for expression lines, it helps maintain a youthful appearance and delays the onset of visible aging signs.   How it differs from traditional Botox treatments Aspect Preventative Botox Traditional Botox Timing Before wrinkles appear After wrinkles are visible Dosage Lower, more subtle Higher, more dramatic Frequency Less frequent More frequent Focus Prevention Correction Benefits of starting early Starting Botox treatments early offers several advantages: Wrinkle prevention: By addressing dynamic wrinkles before they become permanent, you maintain smoother skin. Natural-looking results: Smaller doses allow for more subtle, natural-looking outcomes. Long-term cost-effectiveness: Prevention often requires less product and fewer treatments over time. Improved skin elasticity: Regular treatments can help maintain skin’s youthful bounce and firmness. Boosted confidence: Maintaining a youthful appearance can positively impact self-esteem and confidence. Now that we’ve covered the basics of preventative Botox, let’s delve into the science behind wrinkle formation to better understand why early intervention can be so effective.   The Science Behind Wrinkle Formation   Factors contributing to wrinkle development Wrinkle formation is a complex process influenced by various factors. Here’s a breakdown of the main contributors: Natural aging Sun exposure Repetitive facial expressions Lifestyle choices Genetics Factor Impact on Wrinkles Natural aging Decreases collagen and elastin production Sun exposure Breaks down skin fibers and accelerates aging Facial expressions Creates dynamic lines that become static over time Lifestyle Smoking, poor diet, and stress can accelerate wrinkle formation Genetics Determines skin type and predisposition to wrinkles Common areas for early wrinkle appearance Early wrinkles typically appear in areas of frequent movement and expression: Forehead lines Crow’s feet (around eyes) Nasolabial folds (smile lines) Glabellar lines (between eyebrows) How Botox works to prevent wrinkles Botox, or botulinum toxin, works by temporarily paralyzing targeted muscles. This mechanism: Reduces muscle contractions Smooths existing fine lines Prevents deepening of wrinkles Allows skin to regenerate By starting Botox treatments early, you can effectively “train” your facial muscles to relax, potentially delaying the onset of permanent wrinkles. This preventative approach can lead to more natural-looking results and potentially reduce the need for more extensive treatments later in life.   Ideal Age to Start Preventative Botox   Expert recommendations Experts generally agree that the ideal age to start preventative Botox is in your mid to late 20s or early 30s. This timing allows for treatment before deep-set wrinkles form. However, it’s important to note that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Some key recommendations include: Starting when fine lines begin to appear Considering treatment in your late 20s for expression lines Beginning in your early 30s for overall prevention Age Group Recommendation Mid-20s Consider if early signs of aging appear Late 20s Ideal for most people to start Early 30s Recommended if no significant signs yet Personalized approach based on individual factors The decision to start preventative Botox should be tailored to each individual. Factors to consider include: Genetics Lifestyle habits (smoking, sun exposure) Skincare routine Facial muscle strength Skin type and elasticity Dr. Mashhadian emphasizes the importance of a thorough consultation to determine the best approach for each patient.   Signs that indicate it’s time to consider treatment Several indicators suggest it might be time to explore preventative Botox: Visible fine lines when face is at rest Persistent “11” lines between eyebrows Noticeable crow’s feet around eyes Forehead lines becoming more prominent Early intervention can help maintain a youthful appearance and potentially reduce the need for more extensive treatments later. As we move forward, let’s explore Dr. Mashhadian’s specific approach to preventative Botox.   Dr. Mashhadian’s Approach to Preventative Botox   Consultation Process Dr. Mashhadian’s approach to preventative Botox begins with a thorough consultation process. During this initial meeting, he takes the time to understand each patient’s unique facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. This personalized assessment allows him to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses individual concerns and expectations.   Customized Treatment Plans Based on the consultation, Dr. Mashhadian creates customized treatment plans that are as unique as each patient. These plans take into account: Facial muscle strength and movement patterns Existing fine lines and areas prone to wrinkle formation Patient’s lifestyle and skincare routine Long-term anti-aging goals Factor Consideration Age Determines optimal injection sites and dosage Skin Type Influences treatment frequency and complementary care Muscle Activity Guides injection technique and product selection Desired Outcome Shapes the overall treatment approach Advanced Techniques for Natural-Looking Results Dr. Mashhadian employs cutting-edge techniques to ensure natural-looking results: Micro-dosing: Using smaller amounts of Botox strategically placed for subtle enhancement Combination therapy: Integrating Botox with other treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation Dynamic assessment:

Are you looking to turn back the clock on aging but unsure which facial rejuvenation method is right for you? You’re not alone. With the rise of non-invasive cosmetic procedures, many people find themselves torn between the traditional surgical facelift and the increasingly popular liquid facelift.   Both options promise to restore a more youthful appearance, but they differ significantly in approach, results, and recovery time. As a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. David Mashhadian has helped countless patients navigate this decision, understanding that the choice between a liquid and surgical facelift is deeply personal and depends on various factors.   In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the world of facial rejuvenation, exploring the nuances of liquid facelifts and surgical facelifts. We’ll compare these two procedures, discuss the crucial factors to consider when making your choice, and share expert insights from Dr. Mashhadian himself. By the end, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to make an informed decision about which facelift option aligns best with your aesthetic goals and lifestyle. Let’s begin our journey to discover which path to facial rejuvenation is right for you!   Understanding Liquid Facelifts Definition and procedure A liquid facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a combination of dermal fillers and injectables to rejuvenate and lift the face. This innovative technique involves strategically injecting products like hyaluronic acid fillers and neuromodulators (e.g., Botox) into specific areas of the face to: Restore lost volume Smooth wrinkles and fine lines Lift sagging skin Enhance facial contours The procedure is typically performed in-office and takes about 30-60 minutes, with minimal downtime. Key benefits Benefit Description Non-invasive No incisions or general anesthesia required Quick recovery Patients can usually resume normal activities immediately Customizable Treatment can be tailored to individual needs Natural-looking results Subtle enhancement without drastic changes Reversible Many fillers can be dissolved if desired Ideal candidates Liquid facelifts are best suited for individuals who: Have mild to moderate signs of aging Want to address specific areas of concern Prefer a non-surgical approach Seek temporary results or want to “test drive” a new look Are not ready for or cannot undergo surgery Duration of results The longevity of a liquid facelift varies depending on: Types of products used Areas treated Individual metabolism Lifestyle factors On average, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Maintenance treatments are typically recommended to preserve the effects. Now that we’ve covered the basics of liquid facelifts, let’s explore surgical facelifts to understand the differences between these two popular rejuvenation options.   Exploring Surgical Facelifts   Traditional facelift techniques Traditional facelift techniques have evolved significantly over the years, offering patients more natural-looking results with fewer complications. Here are some common approaches: SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) Facelift Deep Plane Facelift Mini Facelift Thread Lift Each technique targets different layers of facial tissue and addresses specific concerns. Here’s a comparison of these techniques: Technique Target Area Invasiveness Recovery Time SMAS Mid to lower face Moderate 2-3 weeks Deep Plane Mid-face to neck High 3-4 weeks Mini Lower face and neck Low 1-2 weeks Thread Lift Cheeks and jowls Minimal 3-5 days Long-lasting results Surgical facelifts offer more dramatic and long-lasting results compared to non-surgical alternatives. The effects of a well-performed facelift can last up to 10-15 years, depending on factors such as: Patient’s age Skin quality Lifestyle habits Maintenance routines Recovery process The recovery process after a surgical facelift varies depending on the technique used and individual healing factors. Generally, patients can expect: Initial swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks Gradual improvement over 4-6 weeks Full results visible after 3-6 months It’s crucial to follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing and results.   Potential risks and complications While surgical facelifts are generally safe when performed by experienced surgeons, they do carry some risks: Infection Hematoma Nerve injury Scarring Asymmetry Dr. David Mashhadian employs advanced techniques to minimize these risks and ensure patient safety throughout the procedure and recovery process.   Comparing the Two Procedures   Cost differences When comparing liquid and surgical facelifts, cost is a significant factor. Let’s break down the financial aspects: Procedure Average Cost Range Additional Costs Liquid Facelift $1,500 – $5,000 Maintenance treatments Surgical Facelift $7,000 – $15,000+ Anesthesia, facility fees While liquid facelifts are initially more affordable, the need for regular touch-ups can increase long-term costs. Surgical facelifts have a higher upfront cost but may be more economical over time. Invasiveness levels The invasiveness of each procedure varies greatly: Liquid Facelift: Minimally invasive Uses needles for injections No incisions or sutures Surgical Facelift: Highly invasive Requires incisions and tissue manipulation Involves anesthesia and operating room Downtime and recovery Recovery periods differ significantly: Liquid Facelift: Minimal downtime (1-2 days) Immediate return to normal activities Possible minor bruising or swelling Surgical Facelift: Extended recovery (2-4 weeks) Gradual return to normal activities More extensive bruising and swelling Natural-looking results Both procedures aim for natural results, but achieve them differently: Liquid Facelift: Subtle, gradual changes Surgical Facelift: More dramatic transformation The choice depends on individual goals and desired outcome intensity.   Longevity of effects Duration of results is a crucial consideration: Liquid Facelift: 6-18 months, depending on products used Surgical Facelift: 7-10 years or more Now that we’ve compared these procedures, let’s explore the factors to consider when making your choice.   Factors to Consider When Choosing   Age and skin condition When deciding between a liquid facelift and a surgical facelift, your age and skin condition play crucial roles. Younger patients with minimal sagging and fine lines may benefit more from a liquid facelift, while older individuals with significant skin laxity might achieve better results with surgery. Age Group Recommended Procedure 30-45 Liquid Facelift 45-60 Either, depending on skin condition 60+ Surgical Facelift Budget constraints Cost is a significant factor in choosing between these procedures: Liquid facelift: Generally less expensive, requires periodic touch-ups Surgical facelift: Higher initial cost, but results last longer Time availability for recovery Recovery time varies greatly between the two options: Liquid facelift: Minimal

In the world of aesthetic enhancements, one crucial factor often gets overlooked: board certification. It’s the gold standard that separates the experts from the rest, but why does it matter so much?   Imagine entrusting your appearance—and more importantly, your health—to someone who lacks proper training or credentials. The consequences could be disastrous, ranging from disappointing results to life-threatening complications. That’s where board certification comes in, acting as a beacon of trust and excellence in the field of cosmetic surgery.   In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into the importance of board certification in cosmetic surgery.

Let’s unravel the mystery behind those important letters after a surgeon’s name and discover why they should matter to you.    Understanding Board Certification in Cosmetic Surgery   A. Definition and purpose Board certification in cosmetic surgery is a voluntary process that demonstrates a surgeon’s expertise, knowledge, and commitment to excellence in their field. It serves as a mark of distinction, indicating that the surgeon has met rigorous standards set by recognized certifying boards. The purpose of board certification is to: Ensure patient safety Maintain high standards of care Promote continuous education and improvement Provide patients with a reliable way to identify qualified surgeons B. Differences between cosmetic and plastic surgery While often used interchangeably, cosmetic and plastic surgery have distinct differences: Aspect Cosmetic Surgery Plastic Surgery Focus Enhancing appearance Reconstructing form and function Procedures Elective aesthetic improvements Corrective surgeries for defects Training Post-residency fellowship Integrated residency program Insurance Usually not covered Often covered for medical reasons C. Recognized certifying boards Several boards are recognized for certifying cosmetic surgeons: American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) American Board of Otolaryngology (ABOto) These boards have specific requirements, including: Completion of accredited residency programs Extensive surgical experience Rigorous written and oral examinations Ongoing education and recertification Choosing a surgeon certified by one of these boards ensures you’re in the hands of a qualified professional. As we explore further, you’ll see how board certification directly impacts patient safety and surgical outcomes.   Ensuring Patient Safety   Rigorous training requirements Board-certified cosmetic surgeons undergo extensive training, far beyond standard medical education. This includes: 4 years of medical school 5-6 years of residency training 1-3 years of fellowship in cosmetic surgery Training Stage Duration Focus Medical School 4 years General medical knowledge Residency 5-6 years Surgical techniques Fellowship 1-3 years Specialized cosmetic procedures This rigorous training ensures surgeons have the skills and knowledge to perform complex procedures safely.   Ongoing education and skill maintenance Board certification requires continuous learning: Annual completion of Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits Regular attendance at conferences and workshops Participation in skills labs and hands-on training sessions These requirements keep surgeons updated on the latest techniques and safety protocols.   Adherence to ethical standards Board-certified surgeons commit to a strict code of ethics, which includes: Prioritizing patient safety above all else Providing honest recommendations Refusing to perform unnecessary procedures This ethical commitment helps protect patients from exploitation or unsafe practices.   Reduced risk of complications Choosing a board-certified surgeon significantly lowers the risk of surgical complications: Better surgical techniques More experience with complex cases Improved ability to handle unexpected issues during surgery Thorough pre-operative screening and post-operative care These factors contribute to safer procedures and better outcomes for patients. With patient safety as a top priority, it’s clear why board certification is crucial. Next, we’ll explore how this certification ensures expertise and specialization in cosmetic surgery.   Expertise and Specialization   In-depth knowledge of facial anatomy Board-certified cosmetic surgeons possess an exceptional understanding of facial anatomy, which is crucial for achieving optimal results in aesthetic procedures. This knowledge encompasses: Muscle structure and function Nerve pathways and sensory zones Vascular networks and blood supply Skin layers and tissue types This comprehensive understanding allows surgeons to: Anticipate potential complications Minimize risks during procedures Enhance natural facial contours Preserve vital structures during surgery Anatomical Knowledge Benefit to Patient Muscle structure Natural expressions Nerve pathways Preserved sensation Vascular networks Optimal healing Skin layers Improved aesthetics Mastery of advanced surgical techniques Board-certified surgeons continually update their skills with the latest surgical advancements.

On average, breast implants have a lifespan of: Saline implants: 10-15 years Silicone implants: 10-20 years However, it’s important to note that individual experiences may vary.

Looking youthful shouldn’t mean looking “done.” Yet, many people shy away from injectable treatments, fearing that artificial, overdone appearance we’ve all seen. The truth is, achieving natural-looking results isn’t about how much filler you use—it’s about who performs your treatment and how they approach facial aesthetics. Enter Dr. Mashhadian, a renowned expert in injectable treatments who is a board-certified cosmetic surgeon who has mastered the delicate balance between enhancement and authenticity. His artistic approach combines advanced techniques with a deep understanding of facial anatomy to create results that turn back the clock while maintaining your natural beauty. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the art of injectable treatments through Dr. Mashhadian’s expert lens, revealing how you can achieve that coveted naturally youthful look. From understanding different types of injectables to learning about treatment areas and long-term maintenance, we’ll cover everything you need to know to make an informed decision about your aesthetic journey.   Understanding Injectable Treatments   Types of Dermal Fillers Available Today’s aesthetic market offers various dermal fillers, each designed for specific purposes: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers Juvederm family Restylane products Best for lips and facial wrinkles Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Radiesse Ideal for deeper wrinkles Poly-L-lactic Acid Sculptra Gradual collagen stimulation Difference Between Fillers and Neurotoxins Feature Dermal Fillers Neurotoxins Purpose Add volume, fill wrinkles Relax muscles, prevent wrinkles Duration 6-24 months 3-6 months Treatment Areas Cheeks, lips, under eyes Forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines Onset Immediate 3-7 days How Injectables Work Beneath the Skin Injectables function through distinct mechanisms depending on their type. Dermal fillers physically occupy space beneath the skin, providing immediate volume and support to aging tissues. They work by either replacing lost volume or stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Neurotoxins, conversely, work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, reducing their contraction and smoothing dynamic wrinkles. This targeted approach ensures natural facial expressions while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Now that you understand the fundamentals of injectable treatments, let’s explore Dr. Mashhadian’s unique approach to achieving optimal results.   Dr. Mashhadian’s Expert Approach   Medical Background and Specialization Dr. Mashhadian’s journey in aesthetic medicine combines extensive surgical expertise with advanced injectable techniques.

His methodical approach ensures optimal results while prioritizing patient safety. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s facial structure, aging patterns, and aesthetic goals. With extensive experience in facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques, he achieves natural-looking results that enhance rather than alter appearance. Now, let’s explore how these expert techniques translate into creating natural-looking results that stand the test of time.   Creating Natural-Looking Results   Strategic Injection Points The key to achieving natural-looking results lies in precise injection placement. Dr. Mashhadian utilizes advanced anatomical mapping to identify optimal injection sites that enhance facial features while maintaining natural movement and expression. Proper Product Selection Different areas of the face require specific products for optimal results: Neurotoxins (Botox®) – For dynamic wrinkles and expression lines Hyaluronic acid fillers – For volume restoration and contouring Biostimulatory fillers – For collagen production and skin quality Kybella® – For submental fat reduction Balanced Facial Proportions Facial Zone Golden Ratio Consideration Upper Face 1/3 of total facial height Mid Face 1/3 with focus on cheek volume Lower Face 1/3 maintaining natural jaw definition Gradual Enhancement Approach Dr. Mashhadian employs a conservative, step-by-step treatment strategy: Initial conservative treatment Two-week assessment period Touch-up treatments as needed Regular monitoring for optimal results Age-Appropriate Treatments Treatment plans are customized based on age-related changes: 30s: Preventative treatments and minor corrections 40s: Volume restoration and wrinkle management 50s+: Comprehensive rejuvenation with multiple modalities With these natural-looking results established, let’s explore the specific treatment areas and solutions available for different cosmetic concerns.   Treatment Areas and Solutions   Under-eye Rejuvenation The delicate under-eye area often shows early signs of aging through hollow tears troughs and dark circles. Using specialized dermal fillers, we can restore volume and reduce shadowing, creating a more refreshed appearance without looking overdone. Cheek Enhancement As facial volume naturally diminishes with age, strategic filler placement in the cheeks can: Restore youthful contours Lift sagging skin Create natural-looking definition Support surrounding facial structures Lip Augmentation Modern lip enhancement focuses on balanced, natural-looking results. Here’s how we approach lip treatments: Aspect Technique Benefit Volume Micro-droplet method Subtle plumping Shape Border definition Enhanced natural curve Proportion Golden ratio application Balanced appearance Hydration Specialized fillers Natural moisture look Jawline Definition A well-defined jawline creates a youthful profile and balanced facial structure. Treatment options include: Strategic filler placement for enhanced definition Kybella injections to reduce submental fat Combination treatments for optimal contouring Gradual enhancement for natural-looking results With a precise understanding of facial anatomy and aging patterns, each area is treated with careful consideration of how it interacts with surrounding features. Now that we’ve explored the key treatment areas, let’s discuss how to maintain these beautiful results for the long term.   Maintaining Long-Term Results   Recommended Treatment Intervals Optimal timing between injectable treatments varies based on the specific product and individual response: Treatment Type Recommended Interval Duration of Results Botox 3-4 months 3-6 months Dermal Fillers 6-12 months 6-18 months Kybella Permanent after series 2-4 treatments   Complementary Skincare Routines A comprehensive skincare routine enhances and prolongs injectable results: Daily SPF 30+ protection Medical-grade retinoids Antioxidant serums
