Dr. Semira Bayati compares the data released by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery for 2012 to the trends she has noticed at her own private practice.

Newport Beach, CA – Dr. Semira Bayati’s plastic surgery practice offers a wide variety of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures including breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, liposuction, Juvederm®, and BOTOX®. Since she began her private practice, Dr. Bayati has noticed the number of people seeking cosmetic procedures steadily increase year-to-year. When looking at the recent statistics released by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) for 2012, she sees a direct correlation between the data they have collected and the procedures performed at her own practice.

ASAPS compiles comprehensive statistics not only about the number of patients in the United States that seek out particular cosmetic procedures, but also demographic data on each procedure performed. This data is collected from over 21,000 surveys taken by board-certified physicians across the spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical specialties.

For 2012, ASAPS reports that the top three surgical procedures were:

• Breast augmentation
• Liposuction
• Tummy tuck

Dr. Bayati notes that the popularity of these procedures accurately reflects her experience at her own Newport Beach plastic surgery practice. She adds that facelifts and eyelid surgeries were also popular among her patients last year.

ASAPS also reported that the top three nonsurgical procedures in 2012 were:

• BOTOX® Injections
• Dermal fillers
• Laser hair removal

While confirming that these procedures were the top nonsurgical treatments performed at her practice, she added that she had seen a significant increase in the frequency with which these procedures were requested. The Newport Beach plastic surgeon cites patient referral as one possible reason for this increase. As patients become more comfortable discussing nonsurgical treatments with their friends and family, those patients’ friends and family develop an increased interest in investigating the procedure for themselves. In addition, there has been an increased interest from Dr. Bayati’s male patients in nonsurgical procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and laser hair removal.

Dr. Bayati expects that 2013 will follow the trend of previous years, and that ASAPS will once again record an increase in both surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. As more and more people request aesthetic enhancement procedures, she expects more and more patients will feel comfortable visiting her Newport Beach practice for a consultation and discuss the best way to achieve the cosmetic results they are seeking.

Dr. Bayati offers a wide variety of surgical options to assist post-bariatric patients in achieving a rejuvenated, more contoured body after dramatic weight loss.

Newport Beach, CA – Dr. Bayati, a board-certified female plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, seeks to help individuals who have been proactive in reducing the health risks and self-consciousness of obesity by losing significant amounts of weight, but still retain excess skin. After bariatric surgery or a period of rigorous diet and exercise, many of her patients are left with this excess skin in a variety of body areas. Using a customized set of procedures, Dr. Bayati performs post-bariatric surgery to tighten the skin in these areas and provide patients with a more contoured look.

As a female plastic surgeon, Dr. Bayati is more selective about proper scar placement in regards to “women being able to wear bikinis and sexy underwear following post-bariatric surgery.” In an effort to achieve the results her patients desire, she evaluates her patients’ particular situations and works with them to design the optimal treatment plan for their needs. These surgical options are often combined or performed over a period of time, with the ultimate goal of rejuvenating the entire body.

Some of the post-bariatric weight loss body contouring options available at Dr. Semira Bayati’s practice include:

• Central Body Lift
• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
• Liposuction
• Breast Lift
• Breast Lift With or Without Implants
• Breast Reduction
• Gynecomastia Treatment After Massive Weight Loss
• Medial Thigh Lift
• Arm Lift

With a central body lift (belt lipectomy) procedure, Dr. Bayati removes excess skin and fat from the midsection, thighs, and buttocks while lifting the remaining skin to create a smoother, more toned appearance. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) reduces the excess skin on the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles. This procedure results in a flatter stomach, and more defined waistline.

According to Dr. Bayati, liposuction remains one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures available. Liposuction has the ability to target and remove fat deposits in virtually any area of the body, creating a more contoured appearance wherever the procedure is performed. Despite massive weight loss, she says there are certain fat deposits that are difficult to lose. Liposuction is used as an adjunct to skin reduction for these problem areas.

Dr. Bayati notes that many women who lose large amounts of weight will experience sagging of the breasts. A breast lift operation is designed to elevate the nipples to a higher position and give a tighter, more youthful appearance to the breast. Sometimes a breast lift is combined with a breast augmentation since loss of breast volume is a common occurrence in massive weight loss patients.

The Newport Beach plastic surgeon highlights that men who undergo significant weight loss can similarly experience sagging in their chest. She says this condition, commonly referred to as gynecomastia, can be effectively addressed with a male breast reduction during which she will remove skin, fat, and breast tissues utilizing liposuction, direct excision, or a combination of the two techniques.

Medial thigh lifts tighten the skin and eliminate excess fat in the upper and inner thigh. Dr. Bayati says this procedure improves the contour of the thighs and can also reduce the friction patients experience while walking. An arm lift (brachioplasty) is performed with similar goals as a thigh lift, but targets the arms instead of the thighs.

Dr. Bayati says her Newport Beach plastic surgery patients recover at different paces, depending on the combination of the above procedures that are being performed at the same time. Usually two to three weeks are recommended after these combination procedures. Dr. Bayati discusses all aspects of the patient’s individual treatment plan, recovery expectations, and anticipated results during the comprehensive initial consultation.

Newport Beach, CA – Although numerous plastic surgery procedures have withstood the test of time, several instantly popular treatments may only trend as fads. Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Semira Bayati says she waits at least a year to determine whether or not a procedure has longevity in the field of plastic surgery before introducing it to her practice as a cosmetic surgery option. She says she often sees women fall victim to the popularity of treatments turning out to be short-lived fads. As a female plastic surgeon, she adds that she sympathizes with their pursuit of beauty and is determined to not let her patients suffer from the fate of an ill-advised procedure. Dr. Bayati says she feels it is her duty to observe and consider every surgery’s side effects and end results to make certain each procedure she offers is the safest and most effective.

Dr. Bayati’s Newport Beach plastic surgery practice offers a comprehensive span of cosmetic treatments and procedures ranging from breast augmentation and liposuction, to rhinoplasty and BOTOX® Cosmetic. At her office, she and her highly trained staff use the latest, most advanced plastic surgery techniques, and focus on enhancing every patient’s experience and results. Dr. Bayati says numerous patients enter her practice asking for newly popular treatments, and although she may have the capability to perform a certain procedure, she says she uses her judgement to determine what is right for each individual rather than obliging to every request. She adds that many of the odd requests often relate to fad procedures she refuses to offer because of either safety reasons or lack of observation time and research data.

New procedural fads like fat-grafting to fill wrinkles, augment facial structure, and enhance lips among other areas have been been known to trend heavily among women. Dr. Bayati says while facial fat-grafting can achieve decent rejuvenation effects when performed properly, the overall look often pales in comparison to the end results and longevity of a traditional facelift. She adds that cutting corners in the beginning can lead to more expenses and a greater toll on the body in the end. Dr. Bayati also says patients are often fooled by fads such as the “lunchtime facelift” and adding fillers to the balls of the feet because surgeons can fail to comprehensively brief individuals on every procedural detail. She says many patients are not informed that “lunchtime facelift” results are generously estimated to only last one year, and fat grafts and fillers will eventually absorb under pressure in the balls of the feet.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Bayati says she believes in disclosing every bit of information regarding whatever procedure one may desire, and she feels patients should accept nothing less. She adds that although patients may be interested in a particular procedural fad, she will work with them to help decide what will ultimately be in their best interest. From injectable fillers to a complete mommy makeover, Dr. Bayati says she urges all patients to consult with a board-certified surgeon to ensure ethical treatment and the most effective results.

Newport Beach, CA — According to board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Semira Bayati, the rules of skin care have changed. While she typically dedicates her time to performing a variety of cosmetic procedures ranging from the facelift to BOTOX® injections, Dr. Bayati says the quality and tone of one’s skin has a significant impact on their overall aesthetic appearance, therefore it is extremely important to maintain proper skin health. In an effort to help her patients navigate through the amount of information concerning skin health, she recently discussed commonly accepted skin care rules, and why they may be falling out of fashion.

At her Newport Beach plastic surgery practice, Dr. Bayati says a majority of her patients desire the head-to-toe glow that not only exudes beauty, but confidence as well. Healthy and radiant skin is one way to achieve that glow, but she admits the path to healthy skin can often be frustrating with the amount of misinformation patients receive from family and friends, television commercials, and the internet. One long-standing rule that Dr. Bayati says has come under fire recently is the need to wash one’s face twice daily. While the need to wash the face depends on whether women wear makeup daily or live in a heavily polluted area, she says washing too much can rid the face of important, naturally-hydrating oils, leaving the skin dry and vulnerable to bacteria.

Another common skin care rule the Newport Beach plastic surgeon says may need to be reconsidered is the need to exfoliate. While she admits that getting rid of dead skin cells can be a good thing, the dead cells can actually protect skin from bacteria and pollutants. She says many experts recommend only exfoliating about once every two weeks, and adds that protecting the skin from harmful environmental stimuli should be the first goal of any skin care regimen.

Whether Dr. Bayati is helping patients address skin care concerns with chemical peels or microdermabrasion, or more complex aesthetic issues with a procedure such as lip augmentation, she says she constantly strives to improve her patients’ confidence and comfort in their own skin. She adds that when considering various skin care methods and trying to determine the best approach to preserving the vibrancy of their skin, she urges patients to consult with an experienced and skilled skin care professional, while basing their decisions on scientific fact instead of commonly accepted rules.
