FAQ's on the IDEAL Breast Implants from www.idealimplants.com
|
|
06/29/2009
|
Q. What is the IDEAL IMPLANT?
The IDEAL IMPLANT is a patent-protected, investigational, saline-filled breast implant that uses no new materials, fillers or manufacturing processes. It is made from only standard saline implant shells, valves and patches, with only saline as the filler. Its unique design has a series of implant shells of increasing size nested together to give it internal structure and to control movement of the saline. It is designed to contour to the chest wall and feel similar to a silicone gel implant.
Q: How is this implant different from current breast implants?
Recognizing women’s desire for the safety of saline and for an implant that feels natural, the IDEAL IMPLANT offers a new concept in breast implant technology to answer this unmet need.
The IDEAL IMPLANT has an internal structure that is engineered and designed to alter the movement of the saline filler. This is what makes it behave like it is filled with a thicker and more viscous material. Since only standard saline and silicone gel implants are currently available to plastic surgeons, the IDEAL IMPLANT may in the future provide women a desirable alternative.
Q: If the IDEAL IMPLANT uses no new materials, how is this really any different from saline implants currently available on the market?
The unique internal structure provides support to the upper pole and edges of the outer shell, so when held upright, the edges do not wrinkle and the upper pole does not collapse. It seems that this reduction in wrinkles and folds may result in a lower deflation rate than for current saline implants.
Unlike current saline implants, the IDEAL IMPLANT shell geometry is designed so the implant conforms to a convex surface such as the chest wall, with its edges low and close to the surface.
Q: Is the surgical procedure for the IDEAL IMPLANT similar to the procedure for current saline and gel implants?
The IDEAL IMPLANT is designed to require a relatively small incision since it is inserted empty and then filled with saline through self-sealing valves. It is designed to allow for sub-muscular or sub-glandular position with standard surgical techniques.
Q: What if the implant ruptures?
The IDEAL IMPLANT is designed for obvious detection of a deflation on physical examination. As the implant deflates, the body absorbs the saline.
Q: Will the IDEAL IMPLANT come in a variety of sizes?
The IDEAL IMPLANT is available in the fourteen most popular sizes from 184 cc to 600 cc.
Q: What are Ideal Implant Incorporated’s plans for manufacturing the IDEAL IMPLANT?
The Company is working with recognized U.S. leaders in silicone medical device manufacturing to provide superior materials, workmanship and inspection so the finished implant meets the highest standards. The Company has chosen manufacturing facilities with ISO-13485 certified quality systems so women and their surgeons can have confidence in the IDEAL IMPLANT.
Q: When will the IDEAL IMPLANT begin its clinical trial?
With FDA approval of the investigational device exemption (IDE), Ideal Implant Incorporated will conduct a clinical study of the IDEAL IMPLANT in women who are undergoing primary breast augmentation or replacement of existing augmentation implants.

Kids' Summer Injuries
|
|
06/26/2009
|
I know firsthand how quickly injuries can happen. I was recently stitching up my 14 month old son after he fell and split his forehead open causing a significant laceration (with 3 adults in the immediate vicinity). As I was at my office closing the skin on his forehead, it occurred to me that my patients and their families might be dealing with very similar summer-related injuries with their children: cuts, burns, lacerations, or broken facial bones. Even for a plastic surgeon like myself, it’s unsettling to say the least when you see your own child with a significant injury. However, unlike my situation, you probably can’t just run your child over to your plastic surgery procedure room, call your associate to assist, and expertly close a facial wound.
With July 4th coming up this weekend, I want to let you know that either I or one of my partners can be available this summer or anytime to help you in case you need a plastic surgeon in an emergency situation. If you are in the ER at Hoag or Cedars, please feel free to call our office for help. If you are at home wondering whether you should go to the ER for an injury or wait to see us in the office the next day, we should be able to answer this for you over the phone. Some of these injuries, like broken noses, are better helped within the first 24 hours and others can wait. The only way to know what to do is to call us.
If you find you need the expert advice of me or my partners for an emergency injury, please call the office anytime and someone can be reached to help you.
310-777-8800
If you are at the ER, , you can always call our office. You can always request the opportunity to speak with a physician of your choice even though you are in the ER. To guarantee the best possible result for your plastic-surgery-related injury, call us so we can make an assessment for you. Some of the more common plastic surgery emergency injuries include:Broken noses or facial bones Burns Deep cuts or large scrapes anywhere on the skin, including the skull Lacerations or trauma that rips or tears the skin Dog Bite wounds
Have a happy 4th of July and please be safe!

Diced Cartilage and Fascia for the nose
|
|
10/30/2009

New Technique Allows Plastic Surgeons to Build a Better Bridge and Helps in Complex Reconstructions
Dr. Jay Calvert has developed a nasal-bridge operation that is being called the greatest advance in rhinoplasty surgery in the past 30 years. This technique treats problems with the bridge that have been difficult, if not impossible, to treat until now.
The Diced-Cartilage and Fascia Graft, known as the “DCF Nose Graft,” allows the surgeon to correct deformities, reduce surgical complications and fine-tune the results of their work as the body heals. While initial findings were originally published by Dr. Calvert in a peer-reviewed publication in 2004, he has subsequently refined the procedure allowing for optimum results.
Until this revolutionary grafting technique had been perfected, surgeons were hard-pressed to build out areas lacking substance, and had to wait until the post-operative swelling had subsided to find out if the surgery was a success (or would have to be re-done). The DCF Nose Graft allows the doctor to delicately mold the nose for several weeks after the operation.
Ideal for forming or restoring the bridge of the nose, the procedure could have been used, for example, to repair Michael Jackson’s compromised proboscis. “This technique could’ve been a key part of an operation to repair Michael Jackson's nose,” Dr. Calvert said, “since it allows the bridge to be re-contoured by adding new tissue to it, and the final shape to be controlled by molding it post-operatively.”
Plus, by using the patient’s own cartilage and tissue (from the rib) to form the graft, the chance of complications or rejection is significantly reduced. The new technique can be used in a wide variety of cases but is particularly useful in the correction of opposites - both overly scooped or “saddle” noses, as well as “aquiline” or “Roman” noses.
Previous attempts by others to develop similar procedures have failed, but after more than seven years of clinical research, Dr. Calvert has become an internationally recognized expert in this type of reconstructive nasal surgery.
At the 2008 American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) meeting in San Diego, the DC Nose Graft technique was recognized as “the most effective way to create a better bridge." This grafting method has not only revolutionized rhinoplasty, it lays the foundation for future advances in reconstruction and has inspired a new generation of rhinoplasty surgeons.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nose reshaping is the second most common plastic surgery procedure for women in the U.S. after breast augmentation; and the most popular among men. Dr. Calvert treats approximately 125 patients a year using the DC Nose Graft technique and performs about 200 rhinoplasty operations a year.
A plastic and general surgeon, Dr. Calvert’s research work in tissue engineering and bone regeneration elevated his reputation as an expert in nasal reconstruction and rhinoplasty revisions. Internationally sought after as a lecturer, he regularly shares his findings at surgical conferences, in peer-reviewed articles and by mentoring medical students, residents and surgeons in fellowship training. He is co-founder, along with Drs. Kami Parsa and Dr. Drew Ordon, of the non-profit Surgical Friends Foundation through which the three collaborate on extremely challenging and life-threatening reconstructive cases. He appears frequently on the Tyra Banks Show as a medical-esthetics expert and writes a blog about plastic surgery issues on his website, www.drcalvert.com.
An active staff member at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach and Long Beach Veterans Administration in Long Beach, Dr. Calvert earned his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in New York City and a Bachelor of Arts’ degree in molecular biology from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. He completed the rigorous seven-year combined Plastic Surgery Training Program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, one of the most highly regarded programs of its kind. He is an active member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Rhinoplasty Society, and is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

Orange County Facelift Article

http://www.coastmagazine.com/articles/table-882-tbody-time.html
This article on the new Orange County Facelift is quite significant for my practice. I am happy to say that Donna Bunce took it upon herself to make this article happen. I am pleased and excited that such a nice article written by such a lovely person is helping to let patient's know that there is a way to have a facelift without looking like you came through a wind tunnel. Please read the article and let me know if you cannot open the link. I will get it to you via email.
Here is an excerpt:
The New Facelift: A More Natural Look
Having beenentrenched in the world of beauty and style for many years, Coast’sfashion editor, Donna Bunce had seen all kinds of facelifts. Those sotight and overworked, they looked like a Hollywood cliché. And those sowell-executed, the patients looked like they just came back from aluxury spa vacation.
So when she decided it was time to havehers done, Bunce, 66, knew what she wanted – a look that wouldn’t makeher face seem “pulled back.” For this, she turned to Dr. Jay Calvert, acosmetic and plastic surgeon who practices in Newport Beach and BeverlyHills (drcalvert.com, 949-644-2858). Bunce had seen his work up close and liked how the results looked naturally changed – not radically altered.
Calvertis among the coterie of cosmetic surgeons who advocate a new look thatrestores some youthful fullness to the aging face instead of what thedoctor calls the “windswept” facelift of previous decades.

Rhinoplasty Lectures in Greece
|
|
05/27/2009
|
I found it quite interesting that I was placed on a panel to discuss the benefits of open rhinoplasty versus closed rhinoplasty. After all, when selecting the type of approach to a rhinoplasty operation, it really depends on what needs to be done that rules the choice of approach. Rather than letting the rhinoplasty operatitve approach determine how things get done, I think it is best to make the plan of what needs to be achieved and then look at the best approach to that operation. In my Beverly Hills office, we perform about 80% open rhinoplasty and about 20% close rhinoplasty. This is due to the higher number of revision rhinoplasty operationst that I do there. In Newport Beach, my rhinoplasty practice is more like 60% open and 40% closed rhinoplasty.
In any event, I would not let the technique dominate my operative choices. I am much more interested in what surgical maneuvers need to be done to achieve the top result.

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Statistics
|
|
04/15/2009
|
As an active member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, I am always proud of the efforts my Society makes toward understanding the trends and patient needs and desires. The 2008 Plastic Surgery Statistics just arrived in my mailbox and I was interested to see some of the sumbers around what I do the most. Nationally, the average ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) member performs 10.9 rhinoplasty operations a year. That really surprised me! This is down from 5 years ago where the number was 12. With all of the teaching efforts in plastic surgery, even in Los Angeles and Orange County where we hold courses and symposia on a fairly regular basis, the average plastic surgeon is doing less rhinoplasty. My practice is an exception. I interpret this to mean that most plastic surgeons are becoming more specialized adn those doing rhinoplasty are doing more rhinoplasty and those doing other procedures are doing those more frequently.
I then begin to think, "Am I going to be relegated to operating just onthe nose? What about my facelifts and breast work that I enjoy so much?" My statistics are that 70% of my practice is rhinoplasty, 10% is facelifts and facial implants, 10% is breat surgery, and 10% is liposuction and bodycontouring (ususally in massive weight loss patients). I always want to do the best for my patients and therefore, I am continuing to educate myself on the latest techniques in the areas that I enjoy the most and prodcue the best results for my patients. I continue to teach rhinoplasty and facelifts at major meetings around the world and in the United States.

Capsulectomies, Breast Reductions, and Breast Reconstruction
|
|
02/29/2008
|
Dr. Calvert is well known for his excellence in primary rhinoplasty, secondary rhinoplasty, and other nasal reconstruction procedures. However, he also maintains a strong interest and top notch technical skills in reconstructive breast surgery including breast reduction surgery, capsulectomy surgery, and breast reconstruction for breast cancer. He performs these plastic surgery operations in his Beverly Hills plastic surgery office and in Orange County. Capsulectomies are performed when breast implants become hard due to scar tissue. The scar tissue needs to be removed and new breast implants need to be placed. Often times, insurance will pay for the capsulectomy portion of the procedure, but the patient is financially responsible for the palcement of new breast implants. Please call the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery office or the Newport Beach Plastic Surgery office for more information.
Breast reduction is also an operation that is generally covered by insurance. As a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, breast reduction surgery is a common operation performed in out certified surgery center. The insurance coverage for breast reduction depends on how many grams of tissue need to be removed from the breast to achieve the desired result. The range of 350 to 500 grams of breast tissue generally suffices for insurance coverage for this plastic surgery operation. Dr. Calvert, who is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Beverly Hills performs many breast reductions each year. Please call the Beverly Hills office or the Newport Beach office for details.

American Brazilian Aesthetic Meeting
|
|
02/23/2009
|
February 23, 2009
This weekend I had the great pleasure of participating in the American-Brazilian Aesthetic Meeting in Park City, Utah. This meeting brought together plastic surgery experts from around the world to discuss the most important topics in Facial Rejuvenation and Body Contouring Surgery.
As many of you know, I continue to pursue the highest level of excellence across the surgeries I perform. I am constantly striving for perfection with my own techniques and sharing my views with other surgeons. Much of this is done through attending plastic surgery meetings like this one.
This meeting was especially important for me since I served as a panelist on a rhinoplasty panel with other rhinoplasty experts. If you are a patient in my practice, you know I do a fair amount of rhinoplasty. What you might not know is that I work very diligently outside of my office to make sure my techniques are cutting edge so I can deliver consistently excellent results for my patients.
For several years, I have been working together with noted rhinoplasty expert, Dr. Rollin Daniel, to uncover the benefits of diced cartilage and diced cartilage with fascia grafts for rhinoplasty. This cartilage can come from the septum, the ear, or the ribs. Since so much of my work is with the more complex rhinoplasty cases and often these patients do not have any cartilage left in their septums or or even their ears, I have become skilled at rib harvests for these complex rhinoplasty cases. I enjoy opportunities such as this international meeting to discuss techniques such as diced cartilage among my plastic surgery peers and fellow experts.
Stay tuned for more of my commentary about my presentations at upcoming annual local and international meetings, including the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas in March and the International Meeting on Aesthetic and Reconstructive Facial Surgery in Mykonos, Greece this May.

|
SHRINK THE FAT and ERASE CELLULITE with the latest in NON-INVASIVE treatments
CLICK HERE to see THE ACCENT on THE DOCTORS television show
We are so thrilled to announce our newest treatment, the ACCENT YOUR BODY™ RF treatments for treating:
- cellulite
- saggy skin around the face and neck
- post-pregnancy belly
- love handles
- excess volume and skin on the lower back, hips, thighs, and buttocks
Cellulite Treatment
 |  | Before | After |
“What has happened for me with the ACCENT™ is absolutely amazing! I can’t believe what a HUGE difference I saw in my cellulite even after only one treatment. I have been embarrassed about this since junior high and now I can finally feel good about the way my behind and legs look.”
—C.E., Accent patient
What is an ACCENT YOUR BODY™ treatment?
The ACCENT™ is an FDA-approved, non-invasive, non-ablative machine using the most advanced radiofrequency technology to treat cellulite (skin wrinkles). This FDA-approved medical technology is the ONLY system on the market that provides both unipolar and bipolar radiofrequency technology. This is important because it allows the practitioner to treat cellulite at two different tissue depth levels. One radiofrequency targets deep dermal heating that causes those deep bundles of fat to lose their ties to the connective tissue to bring about skin remodeling and new collagen formation. The other radiofrequency improves blood circulation to the areas to help drain fatty deposits and toxins. The dual-frequencies work in concert to ultimately shrink fat cells leaving a much-improved overall contour of the skin surface.
Does it really work?
YES! At the RoxSpa we continue to see incredible results on cellulite treated with the ACCENT™. In addition to cellulite, patients have been so thrilled about the ability of this treatment to focus on fat reduction and volume loss on all areas of the body.
We have successfully treated patients' love handles, abdomen, post-pregnancy bellies, necks and chins, hips, thighs and buttocks. Men and women have been equally impressed with their results. The results speak for themselves.
Does it hurt? Is there downtime?
Most patients report this treatment is virtually painless and feels like a nice, warm massage. There is no downtime and Accent™ RF treatments don’t require any topical anesthetics. The ACCENT™ employs continuous contact cooling which provides patient comfort and protection to the skin.
They can produce some mild redness at the treated site which goes away within an hour or two. There is no bruising and as long as the patient drinks adequate amounts of water to help clear the loose toxins, there is no pain following the treatments.
What is cellulite?
You know it if you have it, right? Cellulite is that lumpy bumpy “cottage cheese” look that is often found on the thighs and buttocks or the belly. It is found more often on women than men causing some researchers to believe there is a hormonal link to its cause and others to suggest it shows because women have thinner skin than men. Either way, most women really hate their cellulite.
Cellulite is really just a collection of fat that gets “caught” in connective tissue beneath a person’s skin. When this happens it causes the outside surface of the skin to take on that lumpy look. In case you wonder if you have cellulite, you can just pinch a bit of skin on your thigh. If that pinched skin looks lumpy, you most likely have cellulite.
What can I do about it?
Until recently, much of the advice given to women to reduce cellulite was to lose excess body fat, exercise with strength training, use some anti-cellulite creams, or indulge in often expensive salon treatments that produce mild, temporary reductions in the appearance of cellulite.
Now, there is something different. Now, you can try a medically approved technology to treat your cellulite in the safe environment of the RoxSpa—The safe and very effective ACCENT YOUR BODY treatment.
In addition to cellulite treatment, we have seen great succes with the ACCENT to help contour and shape problem areas, such as:
- Belly
- Post-pregnancy "pooch"
- Buttocks
- Hips
- Thighs
- Arms
- Face
- Neck

Rib Cartilage Grafts for Secondary Rhinoplasty
|
|
04/05/2008
|
In creating noses out of rib cartilage, it is necessary to counsel the patient on the post-operative care of the rib where the cartilage is taken and on the cartilage that is placed in their nose. Rib cartilage is versatile material, but there is a fair amount of skill involved in using it to create new airways and new noses. Dr. Calvert performs about 100 secondary rhinoplasty operations each year with approximately forty secondary rhinoplasty operations requiring rib cartilage grafts. It is a rare primary rhinoplasty that may require a rib cartilage graft, but it is needed, Dr. Calvert is skilled and capable of performing this powerful technique.
The rare risks associated with obtaining rib cartilage grafts are bleeding, infection at the harvest site, injury to the neurovascular bundle that runs underneath the rib, pneumothorax (air in the chest that causes a dropped lung), pain at the site, deformity at the site, and need for revisional surgery for any of these problems.
Along the same lines, Dr. Calvert has also developed an expertise in revising rib grafts used in secondary and primary rhinoplasty. These complex operations are performed in order to make the results of previous nasal surgery better despite the fact that the rib cartilage grafts were used previously.
For further information on Dr. Calvert's rhinoplasty operations with rib cartilage, please contact our office at (310) 777-8800.

A Testimonial Regarding Secondary Rhinoplasty
|
|
03/11/2008

“A True Master Surgeon and a Really Nice Guy!” By D.E.
When I walked into Dr. Calvert’s office last March, I was prepared to be told that there was nothing he could do to correct the damage I’d suffered to my nose after two previous surgeries to correct a lifelong breathing problem. I’d just been turned away by a prominent plastic surgeon whose office informed me that their doctor didn’t do secondary rhinoplasties. When I hung up the phone, I was feeling quite despondent. Was there no one who could help me? Would I have to “live with it” for the rest of my life?
Fortunately, the surgeon’s staff gave me the phone number of Rollin K. Daniel, MD., whose office was kind and gracious when they referred me to Dr. Calvert, saying “he’s a master with men’s noses.”
I called Dr. Calvert’s office and set up a consultation and arrived for the appointment with a fair degree of fear and skepticism. The staff was caring and professional and helped me feel at east right from the beginning. I met with Dr. Calvert and his assistant Orla Stewart, and immediately had the sense that they genuinely cared about me as a person and were listening closely to what I was sharing with them about the lifelong challenges I’d been having. They took a fair amount of time gathering the necessary information and performing the examination. I initially found this somewhat disconcerting, as I’d never had this experience with a surgeon before. I was half expecting to be rushed through and sent on my way with a statement along the lines of “you’ve really got a hard nose. I’d just leave it at this point. You’ll just have to live with it. We’ll prescribe a nose spray.”
At the end of the appointment, Dr. Calvert told me that he could indeed help me, that he relished the opportunity to repair the damage and craft a nose that would look great and function efficiently. I felt huge relief as I wasn’t expecting this! I also found that I immediately liked his manner with me as a patient and instinctively felt that I could trust him to help me.
All of the preparations for surgery went smoothly and Raquel Porter did a lovely job with my orientation, scheduling and handling insurance billing. The night prior to my surgery I received a call from Dr. Calvert checking in to see how I was. This surprised and pleased me, as with my previous surgeries I’d never had the surgeon himself call me, only the nursing staff. I felt I was indeed in good hands!
I arrived early the next morning for the surgery quite nervous and was put at ease right away by the anesthesiologist, the nurses, and Dr. Calvert, whose confident, kind manner really helped me to relax. I experienced the process of surgery as quite smooth and was well taken care of afterwards. Additionally, I’d chosen to spend the first night post-op in a recovery retreat and received loving, attentive care from the staff there.
I followed my post-surgery protocol to the letter and found that I healed quickly, so much so, that I actually attended an important fundraiser at my business twelve days after the surgery! With a little make-up I was able to escape scrutiny and avoid being found out.
With every follow-up appointment, Dr. Calvert took the time to ask me how I was doing, and answered any (and all) questions that I had. I never had the sense that I was being a bother to him or any of his staff. And my nose looks fabulous! It works beautifully and the work on the tip is excellent. At six months post-surgery, the swelling is nearly gone, and I’m loving my nose – for the first time in my life, it looks good and works wonderfully. I can actually breathe without snorting or coughing.
Dr. Jay Calvert is indeed a master surgeon. The work I had done is so good that no one knew I’d had anything done until I told them. And along with his obvious skill and expertise, I truly appreciated his kindness, patience, humor, and easy manner with me. I always felt like a priority no matter how busy he was. This level of customer service is alarmingly absent these days, even in establishments that should know better, and I can’t say enough about the prevalence of it with Dr. Calvert and every one of his staff. Being made a priority really helped me trust my decision to have surgery, and the whole experience was graceful and easy.
I know, now, that having the courage to persist in my quest for a great-looking and functioning nose paid off handsomely. I would go back to Dr. Calvert any time for additional work, and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning about his work.
He is tops in my book! Thank you, Dr. Calvert, for helping to improve the quality of my life. I truly appreciate you!

Look Refreshed and Healthy This Summer!
|
|
06/18/2008
|
Whether you are considering a facial rejuvenation surgery, MediSpa laser procedure, or a simple Botox or filler treatment, summer is a great time to focus on your refreshed look.
This Saturday marks the first day of summer. With pool parties and beach days, this is a time when many of us start to notice the creeping signs of aging on our faces. As we slather on sun block and throw on a bathing suit, sometimes it's difficult not to notice the skin that sags just a little bit more this year than last.
The face, with its constant exposure to the elements, is the area that takes the brunt of the aging effects and probably what we notice the most. Everything from wrinkling of the skin, sagging of the jowls, shrinking and sagging cheeks, and uneven tone can cause us to look tired, worn, and older than we feel. There is nothing like an expert facelift or a facial rejuvenation treatment to restore your fresh look so that your face reflects the energy and youth that you feel.
In this brief article, I will briefly discuss what a facelift is, at what age someone might seek a facial rejuvenation procedure, and what patients can expect from their surgery. It is important to note that facial rejuvenation is a three pronged approach: 1) Medical injectables such as Botox, Restylane, and Juvederm; 2) Strong skin care and resurfacing such as the Pixel Laser Resurfacing and skin products and; 3) Surgery. Being aware of how to best maximize your results comes from a consultation with me or one of the plastic surgery trained RoxSpa MediSpa specialists.
What is a facelift, really?
A facelift has many meanings, but in the most literal sense of the term, it is the rejuvenation procedure related to eliminating the jowls of the lower face. However, I mostly use it as a term to describe the entire facial rejuvenation procedure with elevation of the jowls, midface, necklift, browlift and eyelid surgery as well, if it is needed. Thus, it is important to define the necessary procedures. Depending on your age, genetics, and the areas that are the most troubling, almost any combination of procedures may be the right thing do at any given age.
What causes the ‘windblown’ or ‘pulled’ facelift look?
Traditional facelifts are done by pulling back on the skin of the face without undermining muscles or significantly addressing facial animation. I find that look to be unattractive and dated. I use newer techniques and equipment that allow me to produce a much more natural, refreshed look for my patients.
The sub-periosteal face lift is one such technique I use to create a youthful look since the direction of lift is vertical (toward the upper face) instead of back toward the ears. No more windblown-looking facelifts! The sub-periosteal elevation of the upper face is a technique that is quite valuable in lifting not only the cheek, but also the jowl. By using the endoscope, I am also able to minimize incisions to the face, adding to the natural look.
When is it time for me to consider a facelift?
Women and men from their early 30's on up often ask me, “When is it time for me to consider a facelift or any facial rejuvenation procedure, such as fat augmentation to the face?” The answer, as in most things plastic surgery, is that it depends on where your look is now and where you want it to go over time.
Some patients even as young as 25 or 30 may greatly benefit from a facelift or other facial rejuvenation procedures. These patients are typically dealing with both genetic qualities, such as saggy skin or puffy eyes, in addition to environmental exposure, such as sun damage. For all patients, the best approach is a staged approach, just like the approach to keeping a youthful look. This makes developing a relationship with a surgeon you trust critical to keeping your best surgical and non-surgical options open.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to see your relationship with your plastic surgeon as one that grows over time. There are no quick fixes to undo the aging that has occurred over decades. However, some fixes are more aggressive than others and that is why timing and preparation for the facelift procedure is so important.
Who can benefit from a facelift or facial rejuvenation surgery?
In general, I like to think of the best candidates for facial rejuvenation surgery as people who feel that their face has aged or changed in a way that their look no longer reflects the way they feel. These are the people who are staring not to like the way they look in current photographs, for example. They are also the people who are seeing a reflection in the mirror that they don’t believe resembles how they feel. Maybe they even express feeling a little more tired, which is often a by-product of their outward presentation.
It is important to note that facial rejuvenation is a three pronged approach: 1) Medical injectables such as Botox, Restylane, and Juvederm; 2) Strong skin care and resurfacing such as the Pixel Laser Resurfacing and skin products and; 3) Surgery. Being aware of how to best maximize your results comes from a consultation with me or one of the plastic surgery trained RoxSpa MediSpa specialists.
Typically, the youngest patients seeking facial aesthetic services in my office are in their late 20’s and are most likely receiving fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm to plump certain areas of the face and Botox to smooth wrinkles. In their 30’s, some patients do start to seek surgical intervention through browlifts and eyelid surgery. Some have formal facelifts toward their late 30’s, but that is reserved for patients who probably always felt that some party of their face was aging prematurely.
Once in their 40’s, most patients notice that their jowls are becoming more prominent and that their brow is descending, and quite simply, they notice they are starting to look like their parents. More and more patients are coming in at this point and the results achieved are excellent.
Even in the most skilled hands, the operations work better on people who are just starting to see the signs of aging. However, it is the men and women in their 50’s that have the most surgery done to restore youth. This section of the population sees the effects of aging most prominently and also stands to benefit the most. Once a patient reaches their 60’s or 70’s, they tend to do well with these operations, but they require a more aggressive approach to see a refreshed look. The results can be dramatic, but it is important to note that good pre-operative workups for other medical conditions are essential.
What can I expect from my surgery?
Isaac Mizrahi said, “There is nothing that will age a person more than a bad facelift.” I find this to be true and the reason I do my facelifts the way that I do. When you agree to have me operate to restore youth, I can assure you that my operations are designed to generate a look that will be a younger version of yourself. You will not look like these pulled, stretched, windblown, odd looking facelift patients that are so obvious in public. Instead, your friends and family will think that you ‘lost weight’ or that you have been ‘working out.’ Or, they will think and possibly say, ‘you just look great.’ That is the goal. And you will see this, also. In truth, I do not really even know how to make those bizarre facelift looks. It was not part of my training. I was trained to do minimally invasive approaches to facial rejuvenation and I have developed techniques that allow patients to get results they and will tell others.

Postbariatric Facelifts
|

06/16/2008

You’ve Lost the Weight! Now What…
Do not forget your face! Your postbariatric face is an important part of your overall transformation, yet the face and neck are often neglected after massive weight loss, since the surgical focus is on the excess skin of the abdomen, arms and legs. Your face and neck are what everyone sees before and after bariatric surgery. Weight loss occurs in these areas as much as anywhere else on the body. The face is frequently left with excess skin, extra folds and wrinkles, and an overall drawn and hollowed out look. This is not the look of health, nor is it the look of youth.
You have worked so hard to lose the weight and take a stand for your health, it seems a shame to forget the most visible part of your body that also shows your success. But because the dollars spent on post-bariatric plastic surgery are precious and mostly scarce, the face does not seem to get its fair share.
I believe the face needs to be addressed in the overall plan for post-bariatric reconstruction, using techniques that offer the best results. The face and neck have many layers. Starting from the outside and working in toward the bones, there is the skin, the fat, the thick suspension layer of the face called the SMAS, the facial muscles, and the lining over the bones called the periosteum. These layers work in harmony to perform the functions of the face and neck, but each layer is affected in a different manner by massive weight loss. The skin thins and often becomes a bit dehydrated.
The layer of fat beneath the skin is usually the layer most affected by massive weight loss with extreme thinning and loss of the extracellular matrix, the protein and collagen around the cells, that keeps the skin looking plump and youthful. This really hits the neck hard as the fat around the muscles of the neck decrease in volume and cause the skin to hang. This causes platysmal bands. The muscles of the face even become a bit lax since they too have lost volume due to the operation. This results in sad-looking eyes, a down turned mouth and droopy cheeks. Finally, the tight tissue over the bones, the periosteum, is more or less unaffected.
The best approach to the problem of face and neck volume loss after bariatric surgery is multifactorial. The most crucial part of the process is repositioning of the facial structures to create the look of youth. The first thing to consider is whether or not a full face and neck lift are warranted. The way I choose the right operation for the patients in my practice is through a thorough physical examination. With the patient looking in a mirror, I use my hands to position the structures of the face where I know the operations will place them. I am able to simulate the operations for the patient and they can see if they like what it will look like after a facelift. I do this with the brow, the eyes, the cheek, the jowls, and the neck. Then, they can tell me how they like what they see. If they like what I do with their face and neck, we are off to the operating room! And what I do there reflects the specific needs of the patient who has lost massive quantities of weight.
First off, I tell them that they may need the neck operated on twice. Usually, there is so much skin on the neck that it just cannot all be taken out in one operation. I show them why this is, and how elastic their skin is, and they accept that the operation is limited and that they may be back in one year.
Second, I find the sub-periosteal techniques quite valuable in lifting not only the cheek, but also the jowl. Traditional facelifts are done by pulling back on the skin of the face, but I find that look to be unattractive and dated. The sub-periosteal face lift is one that creates a youthful look since the direction of lift is vertical (toward the upper face) instead of back toward the ears. No more windblown-looking facelifts! This is especially key in the post-bariatric population, because the skin can be quite elastic, accentuating that windblown look.
Third, I try to make sure to lift the brow, operate on the upper and lower eyelids and perform the midfacelift, lower facelift, and neck lift all at the same time. This preserves facial harmony. I find that the face looks unbalanced when the upper face is lifted but the neck and jowls have not been touched. Facial harmony is the key to getting a great result, and rejuvenating all parts of the face at the same time is the way to make this happen.
Whatever choice you make for facial rejuvenation, it is important to be certain that your surgeon is board certified and that they specialize in performing procedures for the postbariatric population. The medical and surgical problems associated with post-bariatric existence need to be understood in order to create beautiful outcomes.

Dr. Calvert’s Tips to Researching A Plastic Surgeon 
If you’re sure you need plastic surgery. You must look further than the yellow pages. Dr. Calvert urges you to keep these tips in mind when researching a plastic surgeon. Ask For Referrals: Talk to your primary care doctor, family and friends, or patients you know who have had good plastic surgery experiences. The best referrals come from trusted sources. Check Board Certification: Check the doctor’s status of board certification in the field of plastic surgery at the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), www.abms.org Use Internet Resources: The American Society of Plastic Surgeons is a great resource for finding a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area, www.plasticsurgery.org Check for Society Memberships: Find out if your surgeon is a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS); a plastic surgeon cannot be a member of this society unless he or she is board-certified. Check for State Licensing: Check with the state board of medicine to see if your physician is licensed in the state where you are planning your operation. Check for Hospital Privileges: Find out if your surgeon has privileges to perform your operation at the local hospital. If they do, it means that the medical staffing board of the hospital believes the surgeon is properly trained and credentialed to perform the operation you are having. Look out for Malpractice History: Malpractice suits can be checked through a number of avenues, but may require that you make a trip to the county courthouse to check your doctor. Internet resources are robust in most states. Check for Training: Verify credentials and training. Find a Doctor Who Specializes: Choose a surgeon known for the procedure you wish to have. Most plastic surgeons have several operations that are their favorite and that they are known for, consistently generating excellent results. Make Sure Doctor Has Malpractice Coverage: Verify malpractice insurance coverage. It is important to know if your surgeon has made a commitment to his patients by carrying some type of malpractice insurance. Ask about Continuing Medical Education: It is useful to know if your surgeon attends local and national meetings to keep up on the latest technology. A commitment to on-going education is a sign that your surgeon has not kicked back into relaxation mode. Don’t concentrate on Advertising: Advertising has become quite common for plastic surgeons, dermatologists, facial plastic surgeons, and anti-aging physicians of all types. The market is competitive and advertising is a way to spread the word. However, a large amount of advertising does not necessarily mean anything. You must still look at all of the items listed above and make your own judgment. |

It was a successful meeting in San Diego with the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the Rhinoplasty Society holding our annual meetings at the Convention Center. Dr. Calvert spoke on middle vault airway reconstruction as it relates to primary rhinoplasty and secondary rhinoplasty. He demonstrated how managing the structure of the middle vault can have profound effects on the overall outcome of the nasal reconstruction. He was pleased to also present a 30 minute video at the combined Rhinoplasty Course that was created by the Rhinoplasy Society in conjunction with ASAPS. The video demonstrated his technique for using deep temporal fascia with diced cartialge as described by Dr. Rollin Daniel and Dr. Calvert. He also presented his results with 147 consecutive diced cartilage with fascia grafts at an abstract presentation on Sunday morning. Dr. Calvert's presentations on rhinoplasty were a great success!

How to Know If You're In A Quality Medispa
|
|
06/29/2008

Avoid a Beauty Disaster A Medi-Spa, also known as a Medical Spa or Medspa, is a medical practice focused on minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, such as Botox injections, laser treatments, and injectable fillers. The people performing procedures in a Medi-Spa typically operate under the supervision of a licensed practitioner, such as a medical doctor. In general, a Medi-Spa differs from a "spa" by its affiliation with a medical director who has the overall responsibility for the care and safety of the patients. In our practice, the RoxSpa Aesthetics MediSpa operates under stringent safety and quality standards. If you are unable to visit our Beverly Hills facility for your procedures, I recommend you consider the following things when choosing a Medi-Spa: MEDICAL DIRECTOR: Ask if the facility is operating under the license of a medical director. Once you know a medical director is involved, make sure he or she has the appropriate credentials, such as a 4-year medical degree. Remember, the medical director is ultimately the person responsible for the safety and wellbeing of the patients under care in the Medi-Spa facility. STATE LICENSING: Physicians operating as medical directors will be licensed by the state they are practicing in. Check with the state board of medicine to see if the medical director is licensed in the state where you are planning your procedure. TRAINING: Verify the credentials and ongoing training of the person performing your procedure. A licensed practitioner should be able to show continued commitment to learning the proper and most up-to-date techniques through training certificates or coursework. ASK FOR REFERRALS: Talk to your primary care doctor, plastic surgeon, family and friends, or patients you know who have had good Medi-Spa experiences. The best referrals come from trusted sources. CHECK BUSINESS QUALITY: Find out how long the Medi-Spa has been in business and how long the practitioners have been practicing the procedures in that facility. Facilities that have been in business for some time will likely be around for your continued care and treatment. CHECK EQUIPMENT QUALITY: If there is medical equipment involved in your procedure, check to ensure it has been inspected and is maintained properly. Make sure you are comfortable with the state of the machine being used to treat you. This is especially true for some older laser technology. INTERNET RESOURCES: The Internet can be a good source to discover information about the procedures you are considering. Once you have the information you need about the procedure, ask your primary care doctor or plastic surgeon to see if they can refer you to a qualified Medi-Spa center in your area.
TREATMENT CHOICES: The trained practitioners at a quality Medi-Spa will be able to evaluate you and make proper recommendations through a consultation. Ask about consultations when booking your appointment to make sure your Medi Spa can evaluate your condition to make sure you are receiving the proper procedure. MALPRACTICE COVERAGE: Verify malpractice insurance coverage. It is important to know if the Medi-Spa has made a commitment to patients by carrying some type of malpractice insurance. MALPRACTICE HISTORY: Malpractice suits can be checked through a number of avenues, but may require that you make a trip to the county courthouse. You can check the malpractice status of any medical doctor serving as the medical director. In most states, this information is available through the Internet. PRACTITIONER EXPERIENCE: Choose a practitioner who has experience performing the procedure you wish to have. Some practitioners may have more experience using lasers or injectables than others. Knowing the experience level will help you to get the result you desire. CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION: It is useful to know if the people performing the procedures attend local and national meetings to keep up on the latest technology and techniques. A commitment to on-going education is a sign that the Medi-Spa has qualified, well-informed practitioners to perform the procedures. ADVERTISING: Advertising has become quite common for Medi-Spas. The market is competitive and advertising is a way to spread the word. However, a large amount of advertising does not necessarily mean anything. The information given through advertising is often limited and can usually not be relied upon to make a solid choice about a Medi-Spa. You must still look at all of the items listed above and make your own judgment. If you or someone you know has suffered from a disastrous beauty procedure, share your story below to prevent someone else from having the same experience.

The Tyra Banks Show Patient with her nose bitten off
|
|
07/20/2008
|
On Tyra Banks Show #3164 entitiled “How I Changed My Life,” Dr. Calvert’s patient, Jennifer, underwent a quite an extensive nasal reconstruction to fix the tip of her nose. Dr. Calvert performed this unusual version of a rhinoplasty (nose job) by combining it with a more extensive nasal reconstruction. Because she was missing so much tissue, Dr. Calvert first reduced the size of her nose size by performing a standard reduction rhinoplasty. This created an excess of skin. This skin was then transferred to the tip of her nose along with cartilage grafts from her ears that were put in place to help create the inner part of her nostrils. She was very fortunate that all parts of the operation healed well. She can now anticipate a few more operations in the future to smooth things out and create a more natural looking nose to last a lifetime.

A word about Rhinoplasty from Dr. Jay Calvert
Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult procedures plastic surgeons perform. It is an operation that has great impact on a person’s overall look and when performed correctly, it is a great choice for many patients. Dr. Calvert is one of the nation’s leading rhinoplasty surgeons and is a frequent speaker at national meetings and has published in peer reviewed journals on the subject of rhinoplasty. He performs about 200 rhinoplasty operations per year and considers this to be a major focus area of his practice.
The nose can be considered the dominant feature of one's face and there are many individuals looking to make changes to their nose to affect their overall look.
Even the slightest change to the nose can greatly affect one's overall facial appearance, improving their look and boosting self-confidence. The analysis of the patient's nose and surrounding facial features, their goals, and expert surgical technique are of the highest importance. That is why it is important to find a qualified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience performing rhinoplasty and achieving consistent results.
Every nose is as different as the patient requesting a change. Because of this, many different techniques must be employed to generate a custom plan to produce the best possible individualized results. To optimize these results, Dr. Calvert will utilize the closed approach on some patients, while many require an open approach technique. Since the scarring is minimal with both techniques, Dr. Calvert will choose the best operation to create your best result.
Rhinoplasty is a major part of Dr. Calvert's practice. This procedure requires significant training and experience coupled with a keen aesthetic eye. Balance, structural support, and long lasting beauty are the keys to getting proper results. Dr. Calvert has published numerous peer reviewed articles about rhinoplasty and frequently presents his techniques and results at national and international meetings. He has taken time to cultivate his rhinoplasty expertise and has made this operation a major focus of his practice. Dr. Calvert strives to achieve the ultimate rhinoplasty result for each patient.

Pixel Laser Skin Resurfacing

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pixel™ treatment?
The Pixel by Alma laser is a relatively new FDA approved laser device that is designed to improve the skin quality and texture while stimulating collagen regeneration. Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure commonly used to restore a youthful appearance to wrinkled, prematurely aged, or sun-damaged skin.
What are the benefits of the Pixel™?
The Pixel™ Fractional Resurfacing FDA approved procedure offer results comparable to traditional laser resurfacing without the discomfort or need for lengthy recovery. It is the next generation of laser skin resurfacing that helps improve skin texture, tone and firmness, smoothes wrinkles, and reduces pore suze and scars (including acne scars) without the downtime or discomfort associated with other resurfacing lasers. BEFORE AFTER  How does the Pixel work?
Pixel skin resurfacing is based upon the principle of microthermal treatment zones. The laser pulses create tiny holes in the skin, removing the epidermis and upper dermis. The treatment then triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin tissue. The Pixel treats small zones of the skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched and intact. These large unaffected areas act as a reservoir for more effective and rapid tissue healing and collagen production. The end result is new, healthier, smoother tissue in place of skin imperfections.
What areas can be treated?
Any area of the skin can be treated that has surface irregularities, including: acne scars, wrinkles, and stretchmarks. Common areas treated include the face, neck, chest, thighs, hands and arms. BEFORE AFTER  How many treatments are necessary?
In general, regardless of the area of skin being treated, optimal treatment involves 3 to 6 sessions and 3 to 6 week intervals. In our office, Pixel is often bundled with other therapies to achieve optimal results, such as Skin Tightening Laser, Photofacials and Botox® Cosmetic.
Does the Pixel treatment hurt?
There is little or no discomfort during the treatment. Most commonly, clients feel some slight warmth with the pulse of the laser. Clients experience a sunburn-like, tingling sensation for a few hours afterward. Any discomfort is typically neutralized with a gentle moisturizer or emollient, such as Aquaphor™.
Is there any downtime with the procedure?
Typically, patients experience one to three days of “social downtime”. However, mineral makeup can be applied immediately or very shortly after the treatment to camouflage the treated area, if desired. Usually the skin remains red, but generally intact over the first 24 hours. Flaking usually starts to occur after that with the skin almost completely flaking off around 48-60 hours post-procedure, depending upon the size of the area treated. Full recovery happens in about 5 days where patients can begin to return to their normal skin regimes from 5-10 days post-treatment. Your skin will look better within days following the treatment and results will steadily improve over the next few months, particularly if more treatments are completed within 3-6 week intervals.
Who performs the treatment?
At the Roxbury Clinic and Surgery Center, we have plastic surgery trained RN’s and PA’s who perform these procedures in addition to the physicians. These practitioners have extensive experience working with lasers and are particularly familiar with the capabilities of the Pixel laser. This in-depth knowledge of the Pixel laser among our medical professionals allows patients the opportunity to achieve the best possible results of this technology in the safest possible manner.
How much does it cost?
Prices vary based upon the area treated. In our office, prices typically range from about $800 to $1500 per treatment per treated area. Special package pricing is available when purchasing 3 or more treatments at a time.
How do I make an appointment?
To reach our RoxSpa staff, call 310-777-0946 or use our "Click to Call" feature on this website. They will speak with you about your desires and can then arrange an in-person consultation along with a convenient appointment time for you.
