jen — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:39:03 +0000

Our abdomen is one of the many parts of the body that likes to collect fat. Once fat has made it’s self at home around the midsection, it is often very difficult to get rid of through traditional diet and exercise. Additionally, abdominal muscles that have become weak or separated may need help returning to a normal position. San Diego Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Mofid uses abdominoplasty to improve the appearance of your midsection.

Abdominoplasty, or more commonly known as a tummy tuck, is used to correct a protruding abdomen resulting from weak abdominal muscles, weight gain or pregnancy. Using abdominoplasty, Dr. Mofid is able to tighten abdominal muscles and excess fatty tissue and skin are removed improving the body contour. Liposuction can be used in conjunction with abdominoplasty to produce optimal results.

It is important to note that abdominoplasty is not a form of weight loss. Patients who benefit from abdominoplasty are in good health and relatively good shape. Contact our office to schedule your consultation and learn more about how you can benefit from San Diego tummy tuck surgery.

Arm Lift San Diego

jen — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 03:53:30 +0000

There are a couple of factors which may lead to a person seeking out surgical treatment to improve the contour of their arms. Most common factors include individuals who have gone through a dramatic weight loss and are now left with excess sagging skin under their arms, and very often all over their bodies. Another common factor is people who have difficulty toning their arms due to pre-determined, genetics which can cause pockets of fatty cells in the arm area which are resistant to diet and exercise. Both of these groups of people can be helped through Brachioplasty.

Brachioplasty, or Arm Lift Surgery, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed. In cases where stubborn pockets of fat are also an issue, Liposuction is often used in conjunction with Arm Lift Surgery to provide the best results. For those with sagging, excess skin on other parts of the body, as well as under the arms, an Arm Lift Surgery may be done as a part of a whole Body Lift procedure to improve the contour of the body as a whole by removing excess skin.

These days there are many facial rejuvenation procedures available to benefit men and women who are dissatisfied with the effects early aging has taken on their faces. Fine lines, creases, wrinkles and sagging skin are all signs of aging which commonly effect the face and neck. For those considering facial rejuvenation procedures, the Face Lift surgery is still one of the most effective and widely recognized procedures and is considered the ultimate in facial rejuvenation procedures. Dr. Mofid has helped many San Diego men and women achieve a more youthful, alert appearance through Face Lift surgery.

In a Face Lift procedure your skin will be re-draped, so to speak, so as to tighten the skin and smooth out the wrinkles and sagging skin. This will benefit the delicate wrinkles in the skin around the eyes, the creases in the forehead and the sagging skin in the cheeks. Sometimes liposuction may be administered in conjunction with a Face Lift procedure to achieve the desired results. Many people who undergo a Face Lift procedure choose to do so in combination with other procedures such as a Neck Lift or Blepharoplasty (eyelid life) to achieve the most natural and youthful results.

Take a look at our Before and After Face Lift photo gallery to see the results actual patients of Dr. Mofid have received.

Nose Surgery San Diego – Aesthetics and Function

jen — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:46:08 +0000

Many men and women alike are dissatisfied with their noses. The reasons vary from functional issues to aesthetic ones. Rhinoplasty can help to dramatically improve overall facial symmetry, harmony and help improve nose function. Board certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Mofid has helped many San Diego area men and women achieve the nose they desire through Nose Surgery.

For some people the nose may seem too large or too small in proportion to the rest of their facial features, likewise the tip of the nose may have a similar issue. The profile of the nose may reveal bumps or indentations which are unsatisfactory, or the nostrils may be too large, misshapen or uneven. These are examples of aesthetic issues commonly resolved through Rhinoplasty. Similarly, functional issues, such as deviated septums, can also be resolved through Rhinoplasty to create a clearer airway to help make breathing easier.

If you are unhappy with your nose for whatever reason, we invite you to contact our office and schedule a consultation with Dr. Mofid.
