Kylie Jenner Leading the Charge Toward Plastic Surgery Acceptance

With her family’s television show, Kylie Jenner has been in the national spotlight ever since she was a kid. Now, in a new interview with Cosmo, she revealed that, while she hasn’t gone under the knife yet, she’s open to the idea in the future. In this age of selfies and social media, we are becoming much more conscious of how we present our image to the world, and like the rest of us, Kylie just wants to look her best.

Right now, at age 17, she says that her best look is her youthful, natural self – and who could blame her? But, plastic and cosmetic surgery does wonders for men and women who are older and want to get rid of visible signs of aging and stress with the area’s top plastic surgeons. We also offer non-surgical treatments like Botox that can quickly and easily erase wrinkles or frown lines. A facelift in Beverly Hills is also an incredibly popular way to revitalize your look by removing some excess, sagging skin and tightening the facial muscles.

So, whether you’re an A list celebrity, or just want your next Instagram selfie to shine, don’t hesitate to call the We Know Beauty plastic surgeons for a consultation today!

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!

A Smize by Any Other Name

Can you think of a new word for a facelift in Beverly Hills? A "flift"...nah. A "visage redux"...absolutely not. Still, sometimes the words we have to describe certain elements of beauty simply don't exist, and something has to be found to step into the verbal breach.

We were thinking about that as we read writer Adele Chapin's thoughts regarding the new product line being modeled by supermodel-turned-business-megathreat Tyra Banks. Writing for the the Racked shopping blog, Ms. Chapin had this to say:

...of course, her eye products fall under a category called "Smize." Take Tyra's trademark "art of smiling with your eyes" to the next level ...In addition to smizing, Banks invented a new word to describe the project: Beautytainment...

We have to give Ms. Banks some credit, we actually don't have a word for smiling with your eyes, so "smizing" does serve a purpose. On the other hand, so much of the entertainment we already focuses on very attractive people that you can say it's al mostly "beautytainment."

Still, we need to keep creating new words. Whether you're in fashion or Beverly Hills plastic surgery, it's important to communicate properly so that people understand what you're talking about -- and having the right words handy is crucial. When people started discussing a new kind of silicone for use in augmentation procedures, one clever doctor named it a "gummy bear breast implant" and the name stuck. It's easy to see why because it uses something very familiar -- a popular children's candy -- to describe the texture of something that was heretofore unfamiliar. It works.

Our plastic surgeons at We Know Beauty are not only the very best when it comes to performing procedures that make our patients the best possible versions of themselves, they are skilled communicators. Even if they don't use Tyra Banks' latest new words, they make sure they use the right ones so you'll understand exactly what you can expect from our work.

Looking Good is an Important Part of Feeling Good

We've all heard that one of the secrets for success is confidence, and that self-esteem can go a long way. It's just that sometimes it's not easy to achieve. You could try changing up your wardrobe, finding hobbies that give you an outlet and fulfill you, or pursuing goals that bring you a sense of accomplishment. But what do you do if, no matter what changes you make, one thing still seems to get you down? What if you don't like how your body looks? Studies consistently show that people who have a positive association with their body image have higher self-esteem than those who don't. 

Sometimes, there's little you can do on your own to change that. As one of the best plastic surgeons in the LA area, we believe you deserve to feel good about your body. In this study out of 105 patients sampled who underwent plastic surgery, 95% of them noted improvements in their physiological health, their social lives, sex lives, and their overall feelings of self worth. Clearly the results speak for themselves.

We Know Beauty is one of the top practices for Beverly Hills plastic surgery. We provide a range of top notch services from some of the most highly trained surgeons in the field. With us in your corner, you'll be able to eliminate the roadblocks that stand in the way of what you need to feel good whether you're searching for a mommy makeover or a facelift in Beverly Hills. It's time to take pride in how you look. We know Beauty will help you make it happen.  

Is it All About Emotion?

We don't know if you've been following the 2014 New York Fashion Week, but what caught our attention this year was the decision of designer Gareth Hue to not actually show any fashions at his fashion show. Declaring that he wanted didn't want to "sully the moment" by trying to sell his clothes line, he instead staged a modern dance performance full of emotion. The Wall Street Journal wrote that this reflects the view of many designers that "fashion shows, rather than being about skirts and bags, should be building emotions around a brand."

As a medical group devoted to the very best in Beverly Hills plastic surgery, we know that, even in a field as scientific and technical as ours, emotion plays an enormous role. After all, beauty itself is a highly personal and, to some degree, subjective manner. Fortunately for the sanity of those of us in the field, there are generally agreed upon beauty standards, but the truth is that the best plastic surgeons understand that what they do is partially highly subjective and requires a touch that you might describe as sculptural or creative.

Let's face it, when a patient receives a facelift in Beverly Hills, he or she is expecting the best results. "Best" is always, to some degree, a subjective call. That's why we work very hard to communicate clearly with patients so that they have a clear idea of what's realistic for them to expect and what the ultimate results of their procedure will likely be.

The goal, of course, is to produce results that genuine improves a patient's confidence and sense of self. It's a goal that's largely emotional achieved through scientific means...There are objective aspects, but there's no dismissing the role of subjective standards of beauty. What we do at We Know Beauty really is both a science and an art!

To Botch, or Not To Botch?

How many of you watch the E! reality show "Botched?"  We are fascinated with the program here at our Beverly Hills plastic surgery office. The show follows self-improvers who have undergone bad plastic surgeries as new sets of doctors try to repair butt tucks, boob jobs, and Justin Bieberfications — yes,someone spent more than $100,000 to look like the pop star — gone wrong. We hear that Season 2's cases will include a man who tried to look more Asian and a woman who sought to repair damage from a flesh-eating virus.
We are having a debate over whether this series is giving the best plastic surgeons around town a good name or a bad one. On the one hand, the show is illustrating plastic surgery gone bad. But on the other hand, they are showing great plastic surgery from the two surgeons who end up repairing the "botched" jobs. Each episode does have a happy ending by displaying a positive outcome and true transformation. So maybe it helps the plastic surgery field ;)
Which ever thought you may have regarding the show, please know that if you are thinking about getting a facelift in Beverly Hills, the surgeons here are board certified and are known for getting it right, the first time! No "Botched" episodes here!

We Know Beauty can not wait to discuss how we can turn your ultimate photo-shopped look into reality!

Moving Towards the Future

The Internet tradition that is #ThrowbackThursday is certainly an enjoyable past-time, but it's important not to get overly caught up in the frivolity. If you're interested, for example, in a facelift in Beverly Hills, then the odds are you're no longer a kid. The past is past and the future is all there is; that facelift is there to help you make the most of that future.

Of course, everything in the world keeps moving forward, and that definitely includes those of us who labor in the vineyards of Beverly Hills plastic surgery. For years, silicone and saline implants were the gold standard in augmentation and now, when it comes to buttocks, many practitioners are leaning very strongly towards fat transfer. At the same time, the gummy bear breast implant is gaining in popularity.

In the face of this constant progress, it might be tempting to try and wait for the best possible time to have the work done that we will know we want. However, the truth of the matter is that the absolute perfect time never really comes at all. The closest thing to a perfect time, in fact, is right now. That's what We Know Beauty is here for. Just give us a call at 310-300-1500.

Peek-a-Boo Beauty

When you work in the world of Beverly Hills plastic surgery, you sometimes find yourself thinking about the nature of beauty and what makes people sexy or alluring. A recent New York Times article about an exhibit dedicated to the history of lingerie at the Fashion Institute Museum got us thinking about what we can only call the peek-a-boo aspect of beauty.

It's an interesting moment in a young man's life when he suddenly realizes that viewing a woman stark naked might often be less exciting than seeing her partially -- or even fully -- clothed. It's a kind of a mental dance between what we see and what's left to the imagination. Women tend to focus slightly less on particular body parts than men, so they're more keenly aware that seeing their favorite film star in a bathing suit, a partially open robe, or even almost completely covered up in a tuxedo might be the ultimate in sexiness.

If all that's true, then what's the point of a Brazilian butt lift or a gummy bear breast implant? It's all about framing. Whether you're wearing a bikini, a teddy, or a beautiful but very modest nightgown, it's obviously just as important to have the "goods" as it is to frame them properly...because, well, you need to have something to frame! Or, let's put it this way, it's great to have a beautifully done facelift in Beverly Hills, but you also want to make sure your hair frames your rejuvenated face appropriately. We're people and a lot more than set of isolated body parts. Everything works together.

It's all basically a mental dance between what we see and what we can't quite see. If you're needing help with the what-we-see part, then We Know Beauty is here to help. Just give us a call at 310-300-1500.

Be a Sleeping Beauty

If, like most of us in the Beverly Hills plastic surgery community, you're a beauty aficionado, you're probably aware of the fact that Angelina Jolie's new film from Disney, "Maleficent" opens today. It's a retelling of sorts of the classic 1959 animated "Sleeping Beauty," film from the point of the view of the villainous but beautiful witch who curses a princess to a potentially eternal sleep. (Spoiler alert: charming princes seem to be something of an antidote.)

The movie is getting mixed-to-negative reviews and it'll be interesting to see how the film does at the box office. The main reason we're mentioning it is that, while we love "Sleeping Beauty," we love beauty sleep even more.

The fact of the matter is that Americans work more than people in most other countries and our home lives are pretty busy and stressful as well. In the squeeze for time, sleep gets short shrift, and that's a shame.

The very important health benefits of getting enough sleep aside, who among us hasn't noticed that truly good night's sleep can be the closest thing there is to a facelift in Beverly Hills? Indeed, while many prospective breast augmentation clients might lose sleep over whether they'd like a gummy bear breast implant or some other product, they might be doing just as much good for their appearance by sleeping a bit more.

There are, of course, a number of reasons why sleep improves our appearance, such as preventing dry skin, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. Still, we think what sleep does in terms of improving our mood is even more important. When we feel better, we look better.

Of course, there's only so much proper rest and a good mood can really do for your appearance. If you'd like to take your attempts at improving your appearance to another level, the top cosmetic practitioners of We Know Beauty are ready to help. For a free initial consultation, give us a call at 310-300-1500. We'll do what we can to make you both a sleeping and a waking beauty.

Breast Reductions Can Take a Burden off of Your... Shoulders

The topic of plastic surgery usually makes people think of a breast augmentation (unfortunately, they might also think of unnatural looking implants). We Know Beauty is hoping to dispel both of those myths through openly discussing other popular procedures that might differ from this expectation. The Beverly Hills plastic surgery office often performs two operations that seem contrary to the augmentation, which are breast lifts and breast reductions.

A breast lift operation is performed when a woman wants perkier breasts and feel that hers are currently sagging or deflated-looking. It results in a look that women have described as much more youthful. In some cases, the breast lift might be combined with a small saline, silicone, or gummy bear breast implant in order to help fill in lost volume. This has the effect of making the breasts look fuller when there isn't sufficient tissue. It's grown into a popular procedure; according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of breast lift procedures increased 70% from 2000 to 2013, which they say outpaces breast implant surgeries two-to-one.

A breast reduction, on the other hand, is when a patient has full breasts that are painful and/or too large for her frame. During the procedure, extra breast fat, tissue, and skin are removed, creating a much more proportional (and often perkier) bust line. It's sometimes covered by insurance, as overly large breasts can cause back pain, skin issues, and other problems.


At the end of the day, all breast procedures are meant to make a woman feel confident and secure in her own body. The team at We Know Beauty believes that proportion and aesthetics should be an ultimate goal in every procedure, whether it's a breast operation or a facelift in Beverly Hills. Give us a call to learn more about our breast lift and reduction procedures.

Having Cosmetic "Work Done" Should Not Be Apparent to Strangers

As the world capital of entertainment, Hollywood is a beacon of beauty and wealthy celebrities, many who are hush-hush about having "work done," or having undergone cosmetic surgery. At We Know Beauty, we understand the desire for discretion in the process of having Beverly Hills plastic surgery, and what's more, we believe that patients who have had plastic surgery should not have telltale signs of having had, say, a facelift. In Beverly Hills, there are many of the best plastic surgeons in the world, but still, many patients fall prey to not doing their research and finding which are board-certified and have a track record of success, and an excellent reputation.

The point of having cosmetic work is to look like a new you — someone who looks rejuvenated, revitalized, and overall, more beautiful. However, if you go to a less reputable plastic surgeon, you may end up having the evidence of having gone under the knife plainly written on your face. Overly "pulled" looks of a facelift, obviously deformed and overly large breast implants, or too many facial fillers can be just some of the problems that can make it obvious you've had plastic surgery. At We Know Beauty, we aim to keep you looking natural, beautiful, and even though you'll notice a dramatic change (improvement) in your appearance, those who don't know you won't even be able to tell you've had any "work" done. You'll just look like a more beautiful you: naturally gorgeous!

To learn more about We Know Beauty and our approach to natural-looking results, contact us today at 310-300-1500. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Free to Be You and Me

The online controversy over the appearance of certain performers on the Academy Awards last weekend hasn't gone away yet. Yes, there's certainly a point at which cosmetic procedures and treatments may become too much of a good thing -- and the best plastic surgeons will try to steer patients away from that point. At the exact same time, however, every time someone criticizes a celebrity, or a noncelebrity, for their plastic surgery they're basically engaging in an act of aggressive, often meanspirted, busy-bodyism.

After all, isn't any medical procedure pretty much a matter involving a person, his or her doctor, and perhaps their loved ones? If you in none of those groups, it seems to us, your opinion of a medical procedure, be it a superstar's facelift in Beverly Hills or an accountant's gallbladder surgery in Boise, Idaho, is pretty much immaterial.

Of course, it's fun to gaze at impressive plastic surgery before and after pictures -- particularly if we are contemplating a similar procedure, but the moment we start judging the recipients, it's very likely we're starting to go too far. Of course, we don't think anyone's going to stop judging celebrities and their medical procedures but, at a certain point, it's worth asking ourselves why we care so much about something that really has nothing do with us.

If you want to exercise your right to do as you please with your body by contacting some of the finest plastic surgeons currently working, We Know Beauty would love to hear form you at 310-300-1500.

Being the Best Version of Ourselves

Just go to any gossip website and you'll see stories about this or that celebrity's plastic surgery and whether or not it's a step or two (or three or four) too far. In real life, these are questions patients and their medical professionals have to answer for themselves. However, whether a patient receives a facelift in Beverly Hills or a tummy tuck in Redondo Beach, the idea should, at least, always be the same.

At We Know Beauty, we are clear that, while making our patients look as aesthetically pleasing as possible is our goal, beauty is really about revealing the potential of all of us. The best plastic surgeons in the universe can't turn, say, Steve Buscemi of "Boardwalk Empire" into a George Clooney. They can (and for all we know, actually have) help each to remain the charismatic figures they both are.

If you look at the people on any of the many plastic surgery before and after on our website, you'll see that they represent a pretty broad range of humanity. They are not all what we'd call ideals of traditional beauty. The secret, as always, is to keep expectations realistic and to bring out the best in us. 

If you think you could our assistance to be at your personal best, please call our offices today at 310-300-1500.
