| The right aesthetic procedure can enhance your body image and your self-confidence, creating a youthful appearance. Aesthetic concerns vary greatly and are unique to your own individual needs.

| Dr. Heidari is board certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He is sensitive to your individual aesthetic needs and provides a caring environment for consultation and follow up. He will inform you of all the necessary steps taken before and after your procedure to ensure a speedy recovery with effective results. |
Liposuction / Body Contouring
| No matter how much I diet or exercise, I can t seem to get rid of my saddle bags or the pouches on my abdomen. Is there anything I can do? This is a common problem for those who exercise or diet. Inherited, localized accumulation of fat is a result of genetically troublesome fat cells that are concentrated in the hips, buttocks, and abdomen. These fat cells are mostly resistant to dieting and exercising. Fortunately, these troublesome areas can be selectively and permanently removed by liposuction body contouring. |
| Fat removed by liposuction is gone forever. Any subsequent weight gain will occur more uniformly over the body, maintaining your proportions. Dr. Heidari combines the micra cannula and the new tumescent techniques in liposuction for the best body contouring results. This technique can be effectively done on the face, neck, arms, breasts, love handles, abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, knees, calves, and ankles. |
| A large amount of redundant skin, especially in the abdomen and the thighs, after a large amount of weight loss can be better corrected by surgical body contouring like tummy tuck, thigh and buttock lifting. This procedure removes large quantities of fat, skin and stretch marks. |
Facial rejuvenation surgery
| Your skin naturally ages, but much more so as a result of cumulative exposure to the sun. The UV-B radiation from the sun damages the deep layers of skin, which is responsible for repairing damaged skin. Permanent damage includes irregular pigmentation, sunspots and variable amount of skin wrinkling. Dr. Heidari uses a series of glycolic acid peels at concentrations, not available over the counter or in cosmetics, to rebuild the deep layers of your damaged skin, improving wrinkles and creating a vibrant appearance. |
| For deeper lines in the corner of the eyes (crows feet) and vertical lines around the mouth, CO2 laser skin resurfacing provides a predictable and effective solution. CO2 laser resurfacing precisely removes the damaged layers of the skin while tightening the skin. |
| For the lax facial and neck skin, jowls and deep forehead lines, Dr. Heidari uses the latest technique in face and brow lift procedure with long lasting results and minimal scarring. Such procedures take years off your face, giving you the rested, youthful appearance. |
Breast Augmentation
| The silicone gel controversy and breast implants have created confusion among women seeking breast augmentation. After many number of clinical trials in the US and Europe, the connection between silicone gel and any diseases is still to be determined. |
| Today in the U.S., the standard of care is to use a solid silicone shell filled with sterile salt water in breast augmentation. Solid silicone is found on pacemakers, artificial joints and many other implantable materials used in surgery. The safety record for solid silicone has been excellent over the past several decades. |
| There are different choices of breast implants with different anatomical sites of insertions. Moreover, athletic women have special considerations in choosing and placing the breast implant. |
| Dr. Heidari will help you select the best type of implant and the most appropriate. |
| In choosing the right aesthetic procedure, it is important for you to know all of the information available to make the decision that best enhances your body image. You can learn more about the right aesthetic procedure for you as well as understand more about other aesthetic procedures available to you through a private consultation with Dr. Heidari. |
