SUITE 106 TORRANCE 310-378-3444 THEDOCTORFORFACES.COM a board certified facial plastic surgeon, drooping or sagging facial skin is often simply determined by genetics, and plastic surgery is a means to acquire results that last. Dr. Kaplan specializes in treating the face and neck exclusively and stresses that proper diagnosis is key in achieving pleasing, natural-looking results. Whether he is redefining a jaw line with liposuction and a chin implant or eliminating jowls with a facelift, Dr. Kaplan builds his patients’ trust by encouraging them to be realistic about what they can accomplish and helping them to focus on what really bothers them rather than suggesting additional procedures at a time when they are feeling vulnerable about their appearance. If you happen to be burdened with loose skin and fat folds in the abdominal region because of significant weight loss, chances are you also find yourself contending with an array of problems that make it difficult to enjoy your decreased girth. Abdominoplasty (also known as the “tummy tuck”) is a viable way to counter the skin rashes and poor posture that are the legacy of inches that are no more. Both Bray Plastic Surgery Medical Center and Todd Gerlach, M.D., offer this procedure to South Bay residents. Gerlach states that the tummy tuck can aid in maintaining weight loss by making it easier for someone in this predicament to exercise. Carole Maggio of Carole Maggio Day Spa in Redondo Beach offers her clients an alternative to plastic surgery with her exclusive “No Lipo Cellulite Treatment,” a massage-like technique for breaking down fatty deposits and cellulite over the whole body. Her twice-a-week, five-week program begins with taking measurements and photographs of the client. Maggio’s technique entails the use of the knuckles to knead problem areas and target cleansing of the lymphatic system in the process. Arms are firmed, the stomach is flattened, buttocks are lifted and clients lose an average of 10–15 total inches sans weight loss. And as an added bonus, many of her clients claim they get sick less often due to the positive impact on their lymphatic system. So here’s to our options of aging beautifully and gracefully. Dah-ling, you look marvelous! • Marlene Stang 76 Luxury Life & Style May/June 2007 http://AESTHETICGENESIS.COM http://ELEGANCESPA.COM http://DRBRAY.COM http://FACERCISE.COM http://EQUINOXFITNESS.COM http://DOCTORGERLACH.COM http://THEDOCTORFORFACES.COM
