Procedures and techniques named

Breast augmentation: fat transfer technique, body contouring combinedIdeal for subtle, natural enhancement without implants, fat transfer offers dual benefits of body contouring and gentle, authentic breast augmentation.
Facelift: discreet incisions hidden around ear, chinThrough discreet incisions, typically hidden around the ear and sometimes beneath the chin, a facelift removes excess skin, elevates sagging tissues, and tightens underlying musculature.
Deep plane faceliftPatients seeking a facelift in Los Angeles often turn to Dr. Teitelbaum for his refined, natural-looking results and expertise in deep plane facelift techniques.
Rhinoplasty: 25+ years experience, focus on balanceExtensive experience: Over 25 years performing rhinoplasties with a focus on balance.
Rhinoplasty: subtle, transformative changes, avoids obvious surgeryDr. Teitelbaum’s approach to rhinoplasty focuses on subtle, yet transformative changes, ensuring that your nose complements your face, rather than standing out as an obvious result of surgery.
Mommy makeover: single anesthesia and recovery periodOther procedures are also often part of a mommy makeover, as it is designed to address a number of areas at once, resulting in a single anesthesia period and recovery period.
Breast lift: implant only to go largerThere is a myth that an implant is needed with the breast lift in order to create a nice shape. This is not true. A good lift can give an excellent shape, and an implant is only necessary for the patient wishing to go larger.
Breast lift: trade-off between shape and scarA breast lift is a trade-off between shape and scar.
Breast lift: quit smoking 2 weeks beforePatients with high but realistic expectations and who either do not smoke or who can quit for 2 weeks before the surgery and through the complete recovery period are likewise breast lift candidates.
Neck lift: full, general anesthesiaSome limited neck procedures can be, but full neck lifts are usually performed under general anesthesia.

Before you book here

Verify three things yourself, whichever practice you choose: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada; whether the operating facility is accredited or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure; and how many of that operation they perform each year. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon covers how to check each one.
