			<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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many people that live with hair on their body that they find bothersome. The most common being women who have unsightly facial hair they would like to be rid of. Using the latest in laser technology, Dr. John Gross is able to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/laserhairremoval.html">Laser hair removal</a> has become increasingly popular in recent years in part due to the results it is able to produce. The procedure takes anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour depending on the part of body being treated. In most cases, patients will need a number of procedures to achieve the level of hair loss they desire.</p>
<p>Laser hair removal can be used on large areas of the skin such as the arms and legs and smaller areas of the body like the face. Not everyone will achieve the same results as laser hair removal largely depends on the color and texture of your hair.</p>
<p>If you would like to discuss how you can benefit from Pasadena Laser Hair Removal, contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Gross.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As children, we begin to notice what makes us different from others. Children who&#8217;s ears stick out from the sides of their head are often the subject of teasing and may suffer with self esteem issues as a result. As adults, many women opt for hair styles that allow them to cover their ears. Using <a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/otoplasty.html">Otoplasty</a>, Dr. John Gross is able to improve the appearance of the ears, setting them back against the side of the head.</p>
<p>Otoplasty or ear surgery is a surgical procedure in which Dr. Gross makes small incisions behind the ears to reposition them closer to the side of the head. This procedure can be performed on children, teens or adults. Due to the location of the incisions there is very little if any visible scarring. The length of the procedure varies on the severity of the ears being corrected but generally lasts anywhere between 1 1/2 and 3 hours.</p>
<p>If you would like to discuss ear surgery for you or your child, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation with Dr. Gross.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With over 300,000 women undergoing breast augmentation to increase the size of their breasts, many wonder why anyone would consider reducing the size of their breasts. But what seems like a dream to some may in reality be a burden. Using <a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/breastreduction.html">Los Angeles breast reduction </a>surgery, Dr. John Gross is able to alleviate the physical pain and emotional stress associated with extra large breasts.</p>
<p>Pasadena board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gross understands the troubles associated with large breasts. Women who&#8217;s breasts are too large for their body often find it difficult to find clothing that fits properly. The stress put on the neck, shoulders and back causes pain in every day life and can make physical activity almost impossible without pain or discomfort. Breast reduction surgery alleviates all of these by reducing the size and weight of the breasts, creating breasts that are more firm and in better proportion with the rest of the body.</p>
<p>Breast reduction surgery is not only physically changing but can have a significant impact on the self esteem as well. If you would like to discuss breast reduction surgery, contact our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gross.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While not a serious medical problem, enlarged breasts can cause pain and embarrassment. While excessive breast tissue can occur in men of all ages, it is most common in young men going through puberty.  Gynecomastia, the name for the condition in which men have excessive breast tissue does not respond to diet and exercise. Pasadena plastic surgeon Dr. John Gross helps these men return to a more normal appearance using <a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/malebreast.html">male breast reduction surgery</a>.</p>
<p>A man or boy with gynecomastia often struggles with anxiety over such simple  acts as taking off his shirt at the beach. For men who feel  self-conscious about their appearance, Pasadena breast reduction surgery may be the answer. The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts  and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is  flatter, firmer, and better contoured.</p>
<p>Contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation to discuss how breast reduction surgery can improve the quality of your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the battle against signs of aging, BOTOX has become one of the most popular weapons in a plastic surgeons arsenal. Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. John Gross uses BOTOX to treat a number of facials signs of aging including fine lines, wrinkles, and crows feet. While BOTOX is not a permanent solution to bothersome signs of aging, regularly scheduled treatments can keep you looking years younger.</p>
<p>B  Botulinum toxin, or BOTOX, works by temporarily weakening the muscles  which cause wrinkles. BOTOX is most commonly used to treat wrinkles in  the forehead, frown lines between the eyes and the “crow’s feet” areas  around the eyes. The selection of injection points is critical to the success of the  procedure. Dr. Gross will determine the best injection points for each  location to be treated. These points may not be located on the wrinkle  itself, but at the area where the muscle contracts.</p>
<p>Contact our office for more information about how BOTOX can keep you looking young. In 20 minutes or less, BOTOX can have you looking refreshed and rejuvenated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As summer creeps closer more men and women are hitting the gym in effort to get ready for swim suit season. While some people will find success in the gym, many will  be left feeling defeated when their trouble area does not respond well to diet and exercise. Los Angeles board certified plastic surgeon Dr. John Gross sees many men and women in the spring who are looking for a solution to their trouble areas in time for summer.</p>
<p>One of the most common summer procedures is liposuction. Liposuction has gained popularity in recent years as techniques become safer and results become more impressive. Liposuction can be used to remove fat deposits from various parts of the body including the abdomen, hips, thighs and knees; all parts of the body that often don&#8217;t respond well to traditional diet and exercise.</p>
<p>Abdominoplasty is another common summer time procedure. More commonly known as a tummy tuck, men and women visit Dr. Gross to undergo abdominoplasty for a firm, slender midsection. A tummy tuck is designed to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess fat and skin. In some cases, liposuction may be used in conjunction with abdominoplasty for optimal results.</p>
<p>If you feel like you need help getting the summer body of your dreams, <a href="http://www.johngrossmd.com/contact.html">contact our office</a> to schedule your confidential consultation.</p>
