Large Breasts Causing You Pain in the Neck or Back? Find Out How Your Health Insurance Can Help You Achieve a Breast Reduction Surgery

Having large breasts is not necessarily a good thing, nor is it something that every woman desires. Having large breasts can sometimes become a physical detriment, causing neck and back pain, poor posture, rashy and/or irritated skin, and overall physical discomfort or immobility.

Having large breasts is often genetic. Large breasts is also related to hormones, such as puberty and child-birth. Whatever the case may be, some insurances understand the medical necessity to have breasts reduced in size to help achieve overall physical (and some times, psychological) health.

Health insurances often times require documentation to prove the medical need for this type of surgery. This usually includes a letter from your treating Plastic Surgeon explaining the need for this type of surgery, and/or other doctor(s)/specialist who have tried other methods to cure the problem (like Chiropractic treatments to treat back pain or improve posture).

Depending on one's health insurance benefits, and the criteria that the patient meets, health insurances may help cover partial, or even the full cost, of this surgery.

Society's Interest in Celebrity Plastic Surgery

You see it in the tabloids, you hear on the news and popular t.v. shows all the time...it's the constant talk about celebrity plastic surgery.

It's true, society is guilty as charged for being extremely interested in celebrity plastic surgery gossip. In the "Mecca" of Celebrities and Plastic Surgery, Beverly Hills/Hollywood, it's almost innate. Everybody wants to know how to stay on top, look their best, and have the inside scoop to the beauty-secrets to Hollywood's most elite stars!

We take a look at the most recent celebrity who's physical facial appearance has certainly changed, Bristol Palin. So, did she or didn't she do more than just corrective jaw surgery?

I asked the experts, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons: Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour,

"Based on the photo above, do you believe that Bristol Palin just had corrective jaw surgery alone to achieve this look?"

Dr. Layke, (giving Bristol Palin the benefit of the doubt) answers, " I believe that corrective jaw surgery certainly can cause major aesthetic changes to the lower part of the face. When this type of surgery is performed, the patient's mouth is typically wired shut for a period of time, where solid foods are impossible to eat, which can result in significant weight loss. It certainly looks like she lost weight, and you can see the difference in her face. With that being said, certain cosmetic procedures can be performed to achieve this look and allow these changes as well."

Dr. Danielpour emphasizes on what those surgeries could be to achieve this result, " To achieve a more contoured chin and neck, liposuction can be performed in these areas, in conjunction with, or without, an extended chin implant. Also, to have more prominent looking cheeks, this may be done by performing a buccal lipectomy procedure (removing fat from the buccal pad/mid cheek region). "

Dr. Layke adds to that, "Fillers, like Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra, Radiesse, Fat Transfer, and Cheek Implants, are also commonly performed to achieve fuller, more prominent cheeks."

So there you have it, "Did she? Or didn't she?" I guess we all have our speculations.

Not everybody will admit to having Plastic Surgery, and perhaps those that we think have had surgery, have not. Plastic Surgery has come a LONG way, and the more natural-looking (discrete) the results, the better!!!

Dr. Layke and Dr. Danielpour: Beverly Hills Breast Revision/Correction Specialist

Unfortunately, in the world of Plastic Surgery, exact surgical outcomes are not a guarantee, and breast surgery is of no exception. Despite any surgeon's best efforts, unforeseen issues can arise with a patient's healing process, which are beyond any surgeon's control, which can ultimately lead to prolonged recovery or subsequent surgeries. Though this is rare, we are dealing with a very intricate, very complex human body... and these things can happen.

With any breast prosthesis (implant) surgery, the biggest concerns have to do with the scarring process around the implants, otherwise known as the scar capsules. Other concerns have to do with placement, symmetry, size, longevity of the implants and aesthetic results. Additionally, the overall health and function/sensation of the breast is equally as important.
Being extremely mindful of these concerns, both Dr. Layke and Dr.Danielpour thoroughly examine every individual patient (even if the patient has had a previous breast surgery or even multiple surgeries) and formulate the best surgical plan for achieving a successful outcome. Having two fully trained surgeons that specialize in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, allows for two separate and extremely knowledgeable perspectives to collaborate and design a more ensuring surgical experience.

Complex Breast Surgery, Revisional Breast Surgery, Breast Reconstruction, and Primary Breast Surgery...Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke specialize in it all!

Would you like the inside secret to smooth and renewed skin??? Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group lets you in on it...

Do you have skin that has suffered from sun damage, stress, acne, or just natural aging? You don't have to have skin that shows it any longer! Renew your skin! Rewind the clock to younger-looking, luminous skin!

Fractionated CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Fractionated CO2 laser treatments are performed to reduce the appearance of deep facial wrinkles, melasma (darkened areas of skin), and acne scarring. In addition to areas of the face, fractionated lasers can be used to treat other areas of the body such as the neck, chest, hands, and more.

The CO2 fractionated laser deeply penetrates into the skin's layers/ dermis by creating tiny wounds that the body repairs by increasing production of collagen and elastin and generating renewed, and flawless skin.

The process of directing a light source to target a selected area of the skin seeks to only damage certain zones, (producing tiny dot-like treated areas on the skin), leaving the other zones within it perfectly intact; hence only causing fractional damage. This allows the skin to heal much faster than if the whole area was treated.

The length of time for the procedure is dependent on how many areas are being treated. typically for the face, it takes about 30mins. The patient can be awake fro this procedure, though topical numbing medication is certainly recommended.

Within about a week, the majority of the redness and inflammation will have subsided and the skin will start to appear healthy and glowing. The benefits continue for years to come with proper skin care and proper skin protection!

If you are interested in learning more about the benefits of fractionated laser treatments and how to refresh and renew your skin, please call us at 310.275.6600and schedule your personalized consultation with Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Layke and Dr. Danielpour!!!!
