Ask Doctor Grover - Will I get used to my butt implants?
Most of my buttock augmentation patients feel they are part of them. As with breast implants, patients tend to feel that implants are incorporated into their body and self image and do not think about them. Some of the buttock implants used now are softer than previously used. It also helps if you have a decent amount of padding or fatty tissue to cover the implants.

Methods for Buttock Augmentation
Two methods for buttock augmentation include:
1) Fat grafting using your own fat cells; and
2) Buttock augmentation using silicone implants
Patients with adequate donor fatty tissue elsewhere on the body may be a candidate for fat transfers. However, many patients who desire buttock augmentation do not have much excess fatty tissue and must rely on a silicone implant to achieve an augmented or fuller buttocks.

Ask Doctor Grover - Breast Implants Surgery Cause Stretch Marks?
Although most patients who undergo breast augmentation do not experience any stretch marks or striae, some can. A person usually develops stretch marks or tears in the dermis during periods of rapid growth in the presence of high circulating hormontes (steroids), for example, during puberty or pregnancy. If one’s skin envelope is quite tight and desires a large augmentation, this type of patient could potentially suffer from some stretch marks, depending on their genetics. These stretch marks initially are red in nature but whiten with time. Usually post partum women with stretch marks find that breast implants improve the appearance of their stretch marks.

Ask Doctor Grover - Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty can be performed on either the labia majora (outer lips) or the labia minora (inner lips). This can help give a woman a more pleasing appearance and correct excess, redundant labia that can occur congenitally or worsen after childbirth.
Several different techniques exist. I prefer to use a wedge technique on the labia minora (inner lips) as it gives a much more pleasing result than the amputation techniques.

Ask Doctor Grover - Is Clitoral Hood Reduction the Same as Labiaplasty?
Clitoral hood reduction may be performed along with labiaplasty. Clitoral hood reduction is performed usually for cosmetic reasons to reduce the amount or appearance of tissue that cover the clitoris. Some feel that clitoral hood reduction may benefit one’s sexual experience.

Ask Doctor Grover - Labiaplasty Cost
Labiaplasty costs, as with any cosmetic procedure, can vary. Every situation is different. Most patients who request a labiaplasty desire improvement in the appearance of the labia minora. However, some patients also request a labiaplasty of the labia majora (outer lips) and some may benefit from clitoral hood reduction as well as liposuction of the mons pubis.
Costs will also vary depending on whether the procedure is performed in the office or in a surgical center and whether it is performed only under local anesthesia or with anesthesia delivered by an anesthesiologist.

Newport Beach Blepharoplasty - Cost Will Vary Depending on Technique Used
There are many different techniques available to perform blepharoplasty. More commonly, upper lid blepharoplasty is performed more similarly from surgeon to surgeon. Lower lid blepharoplasty, will vary tremendously.
Some surgeons will only perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty through the inner lower lid to remove fat, some will only remove a ‘pinch’ of skin from the outer aspect with or without transconjunctival fat removal or redraping. Some will perform fat contouring and skin/muscle redraping with an incision just below the eyelashes.
For more information, contact Orange County Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sanjay Grover.
Many options. Costs will vary.

Ask Doctor Grover - Eyelid Surgery Performed With Local Anesthesia
Eyelid surgery can be performed without general anesthesia. It is reasonable to undergo upper eyelid blepharoplasty under straight local anesthesia. One can also perform some types of lower lid blepharoplasty procedures under local anesthesia as well. For some more aggressive procedures, patients will benefit from some sort of sedation or general anesthesia.
For more information, contact Orange County Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sanjay Grover.

Wearing Contact Lenses After Eyelid Surgery?
Many patients can wear contact lenses after 3 or 4 weeks following upper and lower blepharoplasty. Some patients, however, may have some dry eyes or chemosis following blepharoplasty and should wait until this seems to be resolved. Care should be taken if a canthopexy or canthoplasty of the lower eyelid was performed as this may disrupt or effect the result.

Ask Doctor Grover - Nipple Reduction Surgery in Newport Beach
Areolar reduction is a nice procedure for the right patient with the right type of breasts. Most breast reductions and breast lifts are performed along with an areolar reduction as part of the procedure. Areolar reduction, by itself, is requested on occasion, and does also produce a tightening and lifting effect to ones breasts.
An isolated areolar reduction can be performed under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. It will take most surgeons between one or two hours. It is not appropriate for some patients and usually is best after childbearing is complete.
