Lip Augmentation Plumping Your Pout

For those wanting fuller lips or wanting to get rid of the lines beginning to form around the mouth, lip augmentation could be right for you. Dr. Gross will carefully remove fat cells from another part of your body using mini-liposuction and re-inject it into the lips to create a fuller more youthful appearance.

The advantage of using the harvested fat cells rather than other filler substances is that the harvested cells won’t put the patient at risk for allergic reaction as may be the case with foreign substances. One injection at each corner of the mouth means  no stitches and less or no scaring. This procedure offers a rather quick recovery with little or no pain and some swelling lasting up to two weeks. Some of the fat injected will be reabsorbed into the body but the lasting result is fuller, more defined lips.

To discuss this and other cosmetic procedures available with Dr. Gross, schedule a consultation. He and his staff are happy to answer all your cosmetic surgery questions. See for yourself why he’s considered one of the best doctors in America by his peers.

Los Angeles Blepharoplasty

When the effects of aging and genetics set in, some find that the skin around their eyes makes them look older than they want to.  The appearance of bags or puffiness under the eyes, excess sagging skin, droopiness of the lower eyelids and fine wrinkles on the lower lids are all things than can be corrected with a procedure called blepharoplasty.  Patients of Dr. Gross that undergo blepharoplasty look more youthful and energetic.

The outpatient procedure on both upper and lower lids takes about two hours. Small incisions are made at various points in or around the eye depending on weather or not the upper or lower lid is being corrected.  Through these incisions, fat can be redistributed or removed and the skin can be tightened.  The incision lines for both upper and lower eye lid procedures blend nicely with natural structure of the eye are are hardly noticeable.

Dr. Gross and his staff can use this and other procedures such as mid face lift, face lift, and neck lift in conjunction with blepharoplasty to restore your youthful look. The knowledge you receive during a consultation with Dr. Gross will help you decide if blepharoplasty alone will offer the results you are looking for. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Gross today.
