			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Children whose ears are fully developed (generally 6 and up) and adults alike opt for <a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/otoplasty.html">Otoplasty</a> to improve the shape, size and symmetry of their ears. Having  overly-prominent ears can be a tender source of teasing prompting  terribly hurtful nicknames such as &#8220;Micky Mouse Ears&#8221; and &#8220;Dumbo.&#8221; It  can be scarring for children and adults alike. The general consensus in  Otoplasty is the earlier the better, but both kids and adults in healthy  condition are good candidates for this procedure.</p>
<p>Otoplasty, or ear surgery, can involve different treatments depending  on the individual needs of the patients. Ears can be &#8220;pinned&#8221; back if  they are overly prominent or the cartilage can be thinned and  re-sculpted, if shape or size is the issue. If you are considering  taking action to improve the symmetry, shape or size of your ears, we  invite you to contact Dr. John Gross for a consultation today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arm lift surgery is designed to improve the appearance of loose  sagging skin of the upper arm. The upper arm area often needs attention  after significant weight loss. Others may find that their skin has lost  it&#8217;s elasticity as they have aged. In either case, Los Angeles arm lift surgery can improve the appearance of the upper arms.</p>
<p>During arm lift surgery, Dr Gross will remove excess skin and tighten  the underlying tissues. When necessary, liposuction may be performed in  conjunction with arm lift surgery to remove remaining pockets of fat.  The length of the incision greatly depends on the amount of skin being  removed.  After arm lift surgery, patients will find that their arms are  not only better contoured but more firm to the touch.</p>
<p>If you are interested in arm lift surgery and would like to learn  more, contact our office to schedule a confidential consultation. Dr.  Gross is happy to meet with you to discuss your individual needs.</p>

<p>Facial rejuvenation procedures have come a long way in recent years.   In the past, those looking to restore youth to their face had very limited options. Face lift surgery was the suggested procedure when patients expressed their desire to restore youth to their face. Now those looking for a more youthful   appearance but don’t want or need a complete face lift have options. Dr. Gross is a skilled board certified plastic surgeon offering invasive and non  invasive solutions to aging.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/botox.html">BOTOX injections</a> have proven to be an effective treatment of premature  signs of aging.  Over time, wrinkles begin to appear across the forehead,  crows feet  appear near the eyes and the skin around the mouth begins to  show fine  lines. BOTOX injections effectively reduces the appearance of these  common signs of aging.</p>
<p>A consultation is the first step to achieving a more rejuvenated   appearance. Contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Gross today!</p></div>

<p>Both men and women make good candidates for <a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/laserhairremoval.html">Pasadena laser hair removal</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With hundreds of thousands of women undergoing breast augmentation every year the trend is certainly &#8220;bigger is better&#8221;. But many people do not realize that extra large breasts may be more of a   curse than a blessing. Extremely large breasts are often the cause of   emotional and physical stress. Breasts that are too large are often the cause of   chronic neck, shoulder and back pain. Large breasts may make social   situations uncomfortable and physical activity rather difficult or uncomfortable. Women with large breasts may also find it difficult  to locate clothing that fits properly. Using breast reduction surgery,  Dr. Gross can alleviate both the emotional and physical pains  caused by large breasts.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/breastreduction.html">Pasadena breast reduction</a> surgery is designed to create smaller lighter breasts that are in proportion with the rest of the body. During breast reduction surgery Dr. Gross will remove excess fatty tissue, glandular tissue and excess skin. In some cases Dr. Gross may reposition the areola or reduce its size to create a more natural appearance. After breast reduction surgery, women will find that their breasts are not only smaller and light but also more firm.</p>
<p>If you are interested in breast reduction surgery, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many children, both male and female, are born with ears that stick out rather far from the side of their head. Ears that stick out too far from the side of the head can be a source of teasing among children causing self esteem setbacks. <a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/otoplasty.html">Otoplasty</a> is a cosmetic procedure designed to set the ears back farther on the side of the head.</p>
<p>Dr. Gross has extensive experience performing ear surgery on both children and adults. Children may be eligible for the procedure as early as 4 years old. Children who undergo the procedure can be spared years of teasing. Adults who have learned to live with their protruding ears are given an opportunity to live life without worrying about their hair covering their ears or wearing garments to cover their ears.</p>
<p>Otoplasty, or ear surgery is one of the most rewarding procedures Dr. Gross performs. He thoroughly enjoys improving his patients quality of life with procedures like otoplasty. We invite you to contact our office to learn more about ear surgery and how it can improve your appearance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maintaining healthy looking skin is one of the easiest ways to appear youthful. The skin of our face is rather delicate and is easily damaged by the sun, and other elements. Our face is also one of the first places natural signs of aging begin to appear in the form of fine lines and wrinkles. Using <a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/botox.html">Los Angeles BOTOX Injections</a>, Dr. Gross can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.</p>
<p>Facial rejuvenation procedures are all the rage these days particularly BOTOX injections. This is in large part due to the results that can be achieved in a matter of minutes. BOTOX can be administered in as little as 15 minutes. Patients will see results in 5 to 7 days after the injections. One of the other major benefits of a rejuvenation procedure like BOTOX is patients are able to return to normal activities immediately following the procedure.</p>
<p>If you would like to discuss this and other methods of facial rejuvenation, contact our office to schedule your consultation with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. John Gross.</p>
