Defeating the Clock

With New Year's well nigh on upon us, it's hard to ignore the passing of time. So, there's no reason we should not pay a little attention to the ways that the very best plastic surgeons, like the great doctors of We Know Beauty, can help us slow down or even outright remove certain ravages of time.

Of course, even the finest board certified plastic surgeons can't truly turn back the clock...nor should they. It's fine to grow up and mature. It's just that there's no reason we can't benefit from what medical science can do to help us avoid the least attractive aspects of time.

The good news is that medical science keeps marching on. From gummy bear breast implants to injectables such as Juvederm and Botox, today's patient has more options to choose from in the battle to feel and look as good as possible. If you're ready to see what you can to beat the clock, feel free to call us today at 310-300-1500. At We Know Beauty, we have all the time in the world for our patients!

A Life Well Lived

When you're working in Beverly Hills plastic surgery, you hear a lot of stories. But, every now and then, something really gets to you. So it is with the story of  Shelley-Marie Sumner, a 23 year-old English beauty contest winner.

As told in The New York Daily News, the attractive young blonde was formerly hounded throughout her schooldays by cruel children, all because of a serious skin condition. Her near-disabling bouts with eczema left her with unpleasant rashes and, children being children, young Shelley-Marie was subjected to constant taunts. After struggling with depression and thoughts of self-harm, however, the condition eventually receded and the young woman found a boyfriend who gave her the courage to try her hand at the beauty contest game. The result is an inspiring story, of course.

Still, it's tempting to frame the story as one of "revenge" against the Ms. Sumner's bullies, but we caution against that. Especially during this time of year, it's important to remember that, while living well might be the best revenge, it's probably best to concentrate on living well and forgetting the revenge. Whether or not you were made fun of in high school because of your appearance, the decision to obtain a procedure such as rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills with us at We Know Beauty should be about your own happiness. Similarly, getting, say, gummy bear breast implants should be about how you feel about yourself, not "getting back" at some old boyfriend or social rival.

Yes, it's the season of forgiveness, and here's the trick. When you let go of angry feeling from the past, the people you were mad at may never even hear about it, but you'll feel better. That really is living well!

The New Old You!

Plastic surgery has often carried with it a reputation of turning patients into different looking people. But, at We Know Beauty, we specialize in helping our patients become a more youthful, beautiful version of themselves. With one of our many cosmetic procedures, you can gain confidence by erasing many of the burdens time puts on all of our bodies.

We have facial procedures like facelifts and eyelid surgeries to remove wrinkles and under-eye bags that have built up over years of stress. Our board certified plastic surgeons also offer Mommy makeover packages that are designed to erase the harmful effects that childbirth and pregnancy can have on a woman’s body. Many women opt for gummy bear breast implants, vaginal rejuvenation, or tummy tucks to get them back to where they were before their child came along.

Everybody cares about their individuality, and our skilled surgeons can give you a youthful, rejuvenated look while still allowing you to keep what makes you unique. If you’d like more information about how you can get the old you back, call our friendly and dedicated Beverly Hills plastic surgery team today

Beauty that Lasts

Although those of us involved in the world of cosmetic medicine have to put up with a fair amount of grief from the more cynical members of the press and public, we are not a faddish business. Yes, while beauty trends may come and go on a pretty regular basis, those of us involved with Beverly Hills plastic surgery generally tend to focus on the tried and true.

That's very important, because when someone invests their time and hard-earned money in a procedure, whether it's breast or buttock augmentation or the kind of outstanding rhinoplasty Beverly Hills residents desire, patients want a look that will last. After, a pretty nose or an attractively curvy body today is pretty much the same thing tomorrow. Sure, there are subtle shifts in emphasis -- for the moment, a larger, curvier Brazilian style derriere seem to have taken precedence over other shapes, for example. Nevertheless, most beauty goals remain the same today as they were 10, 20, 50 or 100 years ago.

Even as technology advances and new alternatives, such as the gummy bear breast implant emerge, the ultimate results patients seek out remain the same. Of course, at We Know Beauty, we're committed to providing our clientele with the ultimate in classic beauty. Some things really don't change.

The Gift of the Ideal Body

Everyone has an image of how they want to look. For some, that image may be easier to achieve than others.

Our team has the resources and the expertise to provide world class treatment options to help you achieve the look you desire.

Because a big part of how you feel about yourself revolves around body image, the holidays are a great time to ward off seasonal depression and get that procedure you’ve been wanting. Our top procedures, like rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills are performed by highly trained experts who are dedicated to helping you feel great about your body. If you’d like more information on our many outstanding treatment options, including gummy bear breast implants, our friendly and professional team is waiting to hear from you.

The Post Thanksgiving Beauty Blues

You've been through the overindulgence of Thanksgiving, the madness of Black Friday, and the sedentary insanity of Cyber Monday. It's just possible that, right now, you might not be looking your very absolute best. That's okay. After a bit of mild overindulgence and a lot of stress, even actual supermodels don't often look like supermodels.

If, on the other hand, you've just spent a week off from work with nothing to do but sleep and work out, and you're still not happy with your appearance, then it may be time to take action. It might even be time for a little bit of the kind of superb Beverly Hills plastic surgery we practice at We Know Beauty. Now, you might not feel like the holiday season, with all its hustlle and bustle, is the very best time to look into a cosmetic procedure but that begs the question...just when is it a good time?

If you're unhappy with the shape of your nose, for example, and want to explore rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills with We Know Beauty, there's really no time like the present. After all, lots of people tend to put off looking into these matters until January 2nd; why not beat the rush and start asking us those detailed questions about  whether a traditional or gummy bear breast implant is best for you? Really, why wait for the holidays to be over? Just give us a call at 310-300-1500. That way, you'll not only be celebrating the holidays this year, you'll be celebrating your life.

Newest Trends in Cosmetic Surgery

We Know Beauty is all about keeping up to date on the latest beauty trends, and making sure that we have the best plastic surgeons in the business who can do all the latest and greatest procedures. It seems that more and more, men and women who elect plastic surgery don't want to look different, but instead want a more natural youthful version of themselves. That's why many of the procedures that our patients know and love are getting updated to better suit the desires of today.

1. Lighter Botox Treatments- Botox is still one of the best ways to keep yourself looking youthful, firm, and energetic, but as with anything, there is such thing as too much. Many people are now electing lighter Botox regiments to get the youthful look while still looking like themselves.
2. More Natural Breast Augmentation - While almost all breast augmentation procedures end up looking good, some can certainly look more natural than others. The best surgeons can now used differently shaped implants to make breasts look more natural. We also have gummy bear breast implants that hold their shape better than any implants on the market today. Natural breasts aren't perfect circles, so why should the implants be?
3. Tummy Tucks - While they've always been popular, the number of people getting tummy tucks is higher than ever. Loose skin is often entirely unavoidable, caused by weight loss or rapid expansion of the stomach during pregnancy. Women are now discovering that tummy tucks are the simplest way to get back to the natural look they know and love.

At We Know Beauty, our board certified plastic surgeons are experts at all these procedures and more! Call us today at 310-300-1500 to see how you can get back to the natural, youthful look that you love!

When is a Bargain not a Bargain?

It's only natural to shop for the best price on coffee or a microwave oven, but there are certain areas where it makes sense to shop for quality and reliability, and worry a lot less about cost. Of course, many people who seek out the finest Beverly Hills plastic surgery are only concerned with obtaining the highest possible level of quality.

At the same time, even among many of us with plenty of money, it's a sort of natural instinct to look for the best possible price on anything. The fact of the mater is, whether you're purchasing a car or a facelift in Beverly Hills,quality really should be your first consideration. Safety is important!

The fact of the matter is that you'll be living with the results of your plastic surgery for many years to come and you want to be happy with them. That's not all, complications due to a physician's less-than-steller skills or results that require revision procedures later on can obviously cost a great deal more in expenses and lost time than if you had simply gone to a leading plastic surgeon in the first place.

Whether you're looking at facial rejuvenation, a Brazilian style buttock augmentation, or the very latest procedures such as a gummy bear breast implant, We Know Beauty offers only the finest plastic surgeons who are known for providing the best quality work -- and that really is a bargain!

Branching Out

A news story this week about L’Oréal branching out into the ethnic market with its acquisition of Carol's Daughter, a line of hair products aimed at women of color, got us thinking about the growing universality of beauty.

While all ethnic groups have long had their own beauty products, there was a time when mainstream purveyors would never have thought to seriously pursue ethnic markets. As a leader in Beverly Hills plastic surgery, We Know Beauty deals with a people from a broad array of backgrounds as we are based in one of the most diverse communities on the planet. If you're getting rhinoplasty from any good plastic surgeon in our town, there's a good chance your're actually receiving ethnic rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills. In other words, not just any nose job, but one that respects and reflects your heritage while also improving your appearance.

It's just one of many services we provide to our clients, who come from all over the Greater Los Angeles area and around the world to take advantage of our outstanding services. Whether you're interested in an ethnically sensitive eyelift or a gummy bear breast implant designed especially for your, we're here to help.

Be Inspired by "Beauty After Breast Cancer"

A recent article at the popular tech and pop culture blog Boing Boing featured the work of photographer Joseph Linaschke, who has created a book of portraits called "Beauty after Breast Cancer". The inspiring book is being funded via Kickstarter, and Linaschke hopes it will inspire body confidence in women who have undergone treatment such as mastectomy for breast cancer.

The book illustrates the many faces of breast cancer survival or prevention, and the incredible effects of cutting-edge breast reconstruction surgery. It is designed to be a coffee table book for surgeon's offices, cancer centers and breast centers, and it would likely look right at home at our own Beverly Hills plastic surgery facility.

 At We Know Beauty, our board certified plastic surgeons are proud to provide a wide variety of exceptionally effective cosmetic surgeries for breasts, as well as various other surgeries that are performed for health, wellness and the confidence that comes from aesthetic beauty. If you're in need of rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills or any number of similar plastic surgeries, don't hesitate to get in touch with our inspiring and dedicated team!
