• Facelift

  The broad category of facial rejuvenation is a common topic of discussion during consults. Elements of facial rejuvenation range from minor skincare procedures, such as Botox and fillers, to the full extent of a formal facelift, more formally known as a rhytidectomy. Patients often approach procedures on the face with more caution than other procedures because they fear unnatural results. This concern is fueled by media reports of celebrity extreme-makeovers. However, a correctly performed facelift provides a very natural and youthful result. Facial Aging Process Frequently, there is the misconception that facial aging is caused primarily by sagging excess loose skin. Obviously, this does play a role in the appearance of facial aging because skin loses its elastic properties. However, the more critical component of facial aging involves the underlying soft tissue and muscular layer of the face. Over time, everyone has the potential of losing facial fullness due to atrophy or shrinking of the underlying fatty tissue in the face. This can cause a hollowing that ages the face. Facelift in Granite Bay and Sacramento In addition, there is a very important muscular layer in the face and neck called the “SMAS” layer and platysma, respectively. When we are young, this muscular layer is firmly adhered and fixated to the underlying skeletal structure due to tight ligaments. As one ages, these ligaments become weak and allow the muscular layer to settle with the pull of gravity. The factors of shrinking soft tissue and settling or sagging of the muscular framework characterize aging. The face also tends to convert from a V-shape that is associated with a youthful face into a more rectangular and long face that is more common with age. These factors along with other characteristics of facial aging, including hollowing and depression of the cheek area, deepened nasolabial folds, deepened marionette lines, jowling along the jawline, and redundancy in the neck can be improved with facial rejuvenation. Facelift Procedure Details As with all cosmetic plastic surgery, there is no procedure that can be considered “one-size-fits-all.” Therefore, in your consultation, we will discuss the issues that concern you the most in relation to the underlying anatomical reason, and then discuss the facelift procedure in its broader sense that will best treat your personal concerns. Traditionally, the full facelift procedure treats the crow’s feet region and the lateral brow extending downward to the cheek region in the mid-face, to the deepened lines around the mouth, as well as the jowling along the jawline, and finally, restoring a more acute and refined angle to the neck region. The incision begins within the hairline in the temporal region and extends downward following natural creases in front of the ear before it turns behind the ear, finally ending concealed within the occipital hair. There is also often a small incision underneath the chin for better access to the neck region. Through these incisions, we are able to elevate the skin of the face. Next, we address the critically important SMAS layer and platysma. This thin muscular layer is then elevated partially and secured tightly with sutures to reshape the foundation of the face. This restores the natural fullness and height of the cheek region, thereby restoring the youthful V-shaped contour of the face. In addition, addressing this layer is critically important for refining the jawline and removing the appearance of jowling, as well as tightening the neckline and converting it from a more lax C-shaped contour to a more acute right angle appearance. Once the foundation has been addressed, we are able to re-drape the skin naturally over this restored facial shape. This is the key component in achieving an optimal result while also maintaining a very natural result. Procedures Frequently Combined with Facelift Facial Rejuvenation in Granite Bay, CAFacelift addresses the area of the face from the temples to the neck. Many of Dr. Coscia’s patients choose to pair facelift with another procedure to rejuvenate the top portion of the face. These combinations include: Brow lift, which helps to diminish the horizontal forehead lines and vertical frown lines while also elevating the eyebrows to achieve a youthful arch Upper eyelid surgery, which tightens the eyelid muscles and removes the excess skin and fat that weigh down the upper lid, so that the eyes can open more fully Lower eyelid surgery, which focuses on smoothing out the hollows or “bags” just beneath the eyes for a refreshed and less tired appearance Fat grafting, which can transfer excess fat from another area of the body to restore lost volume to the face, especially the cheeks Laser resurfacing, which can help improve the tone and texture of the skin to further enhance the rejuvenating effects of facelift

• Rhinoplasty

  The term “rhinoplasty” is used to describe any surgical procedure related to the nose. This can be cosmetic improvements, reconstructive surgery, and functional surgery. Cosmetic rhinoplasty can involve correcting an anesthetic concern such as a dorsal hump, a deviated or crooked nose, or a large or rounded nasal tip. Reconstructive rhinoplasty can involve situations such as nasal fractures and resections after skin cancer treatments that cause nasal deformities. Finally, rhinoplasty can also be used for functional treatments, such as obstruction of the airway by a deviated nasal septum or structures deeper within the nose referred to as inferior turbinates. Home » Rhinoplasty in Sacramento, CA Benefits of Rhinoplasty Of all the kinds of plastic surgery, rhinoplasty is perhaps one of the most personalized procedures available. Patients often have very slight and specific requests when it comes to their noses, most of which Dr. Coscia can accommodate. Among the changes Dr. Coscia has successfully achieved for his patients are:Rhinoplasty in Sacramento and Granite Bay Straightening the nose’s alignment Removing a hump on the bridge of the nose Widening or narrowing the nose Changing the projection of the nasal tip to be more outward or downward Improving the nose’s symmetry Shrinking the size of the nostrils Adjusting a deviated septum that impairs normal breathing Making the nose in proportion to the rest of the face Who Is a Candidate for Rhinoplasty? Candidates for rhinoplasty should meet the following qualifications: In good physical health No chronic health conditions that could increase the risks of surgery Facial growth is complete (usually occurs in the late teenage years) Non-smoker Has a positive outlook Has specific, reasonable goals of surgery Desires improvement, not perfection To find out whether you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty, please request an appointment with Dr. Coscia. Rhinoplasty Surgery Details Nose Surgery in SacramentoThere are three broad anatomical categories addressed during rhinoplasty surgery—the skin, nasal cartilages, and nasal bones. The preoperative condition of the skin is important because very thin or very thick nasal skin can affect the surgical outcome. The nasal cartilage involves upper lateral nasal cartilage segments and lower alar cartilage segments. The nasal bones are assessed for their positioning and width. In a patient who has a prominent dorsal hump, this often involves the nasal bones as well as the upper lateral cartilages. In the consultation, we will discuss the techniques that are used to refine these areas of the nose to give a more natural dorsal nasal slope. In situations where a patient has a very large or bulbous nasal tip, we address the lower alar cartilages. Techniques designed to narrow these cartilage segments, as well as reshape them, will be discussed. Rhinoplasties performed to treat post-traumatic nasal injuries involve a variety of techniques aimed at reshaping the cartilage and/or bony structure. In patients with nasal obstruction, we often manipulate the nasal septum and the inferior turbinates. In general terms, the aim of rhinoplasty is to restore natural proportions and aesthetic ideals to the nose. These small changes can improve the overall balance of the nose and positively affect a person’s face. Types of Rhinoplasty Surgery Open Versus Closed Rhinoplasty Ideal Nose Contour Rhinoplasty is performed using either the open approach or the closed. In the open approach, an incision is made along the columella, the strip of skin separating the nostrils. In the closed approach, the incisions are hidden inside the nostrils. Septoplasty Septoplasty addresses a displacement of the septum, which is the wall of bone and cartilage separating the nostrils. A deviated septum can make it difficult to breathe through the nose. Septoplasty can be performed in combination with rhinoplasty or as a standalone procedure. Tip Rhinoplasty Tip rhinoplasty focuses the attention on the nasal tip by adjusting (either removing, augmenting or repositioning) the cartilage in this area. Usually the procedure changes the shape, size and/or projection of the nasal tip. Due to its location and limited target area, rhinoplasty that focuses exclusively on the nasal tip is generally less invasive than tradition rhinoplasty. Ethnic Rhinoplasty Ethnic rhinoplasty is performed on non-Caucasian noses. The goal of most ethnic rhinoplasty procedures is to improve the appearance of the nose without compromising the patient’s unique ethnic identity and facial characteristics. Revision Rhinoplasty Revision rhinoplasty improves upon the results of a previous rhinoplasty procedure. It may address aesthetic and/or functional problems that result after the initial rhinoplasty surgery.

• Eyelid Surgery

  Very often, patients report that they look much more tired than they actually feel. Frequently, this involves the typical aging processes occurring around the eyes and is treated with an upper and/or lower eyelid lift, also referred to as a “blepharoplasty.” In the upper eyelids, excess and redundant skin is typically a primary contributor to the look of heaviness to the upper eyelid. This appearance can be further exaggerated by a brow position that is too low causing further redundancy in the upper lid skin. Oftentimes, the medial fat pad located in the upper eyelid towards the nose is slightly bulging and full as well. In the lower eyelids, redundancy of the skin and wrinkling of the skin plays a role. However, it is not the primary problem in the lower eyelid itself. For the lower eyelid, we typically notice a bulging and fullness of the lower eyelid, often referred to as “bags under the eyes.” In the lower eyelid, there are three fat compartments as opposed to the two in the upper eyelid. With age, the thin septum that holds the fat compartments in tightly becomes weak, allowing the fat pads themselves to bulge outward. Furthermore, the typical facial aging process discussed in the facelift portion of this website is occurring causing the cheeks to descend from a more prominent bone in the face to a more concave portion of the facial skeleton. This process of the upper lid bulging and the cheek descending creates a noticeable depression and transition zone between these two structures. This also gives the appearance of shadowing and darkening under the eye further contributing to that aged and tired appearance. Home » Eyelid Surgery in Sacramento, CA What Problems Can an Eye Lift Address? Sagging or droopy eyelid tissue: An eyelift can help tighten the sagging, wrinkled skin around the eye that is responsible for many signs of aging in this area. Excess skin on the upper eyelids: Excess skin around the eyes can lead to partially blocked peripheral vision. Eyelid surgery can help improve this area and your field of vision. Bags under the eyes: Puffy eyes and bags can make you appear older and more tired than you are. Eyelid surgery can address this issue and reveal a more rejuvenated eye area. Benefits There are many advantages to having an eyelid lift. Benefits include: Younger, well-rested appearance: If you’re like many adults, you may struggle with puffiness around the eyes, which can make you feel insecure about your overall facial appearance. Eyelid surgery can help diminish the look of eye bags and puffiness, which helps you look refreshed and younger overall. Boost in confidence: It is well-understood that when you look great, you feel great. You may come across as more confident when speaking to others or having your picture taken when you have the assurance of a wrinkle-free eye area that no longer sags. Improved vision in some cases: Some vision impairment can occur due to severe drooping of the skin around the eyelid. Eyelid surgery can tighten this skin and leave you with a clearer view. Improved look of lines and wrinkles: Wrinkles, fine lines, and other aging imperfections that affect the eye area can make your eyes appear dull and worn out. You can expect a smooth eyelid appearance after this treatment. Long-term results: An eyelid lift is intended to be a long-term solution to sagging skin around the eyes. Although this surgery cannot prevent the natural aging process and the effects of gravity, it can help you look better, younger, and more awake, leaving you with a refreshed look that lasts. Can be combined with other treatments: Lots of times, patients visit Dr. Coscia with more than one cosmetic concern. If you are interested in eyelid surgery but also have other areas of concern, bring up your goals with Dr. Coscia during your consultation. He can recommend a number of cosmetic procedures, some of which can be combined with your eyelid lift for a beautiful result.

• Breast Augmentation

  Breast augmentation remains one of the most commonly performed procedures in cosmetic plastic surgery. Breast augmentation is simply surgical enhancement of the breasts with the use of implants. Certain breast implants can also be used to improve the aesthetic shape of the breast. Breast augmentation provides the means to improve proportionality of the female figure. Implants can also improve symmetry between the breasts. Furthermore, breast augmentation can be used to treat certain congenital breast disorders with improper development of the breast, as well as restore fullness after pregnancy or weight loss. Home » Breast Augmentation in Sacramento, CA Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation? Candidates for breast augmentation are women who are unhappy with naturally small breasts or breasts that have lost shape and volume after pregnancy, nursing or weight fluctuation. Candidates should be in good health and their breasts should be fully developed. Candidates should not be pregnant or breastfeeding or have any serious medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process. Breast Augmentation Benefits Breast Augmentation in Sacramento and Granite Bay While all women who choose breast augmentation surgery want their chest size to increase, their reasons for doing so vary. Among the reasons that patients tell Dr. Coscia that they are enthusiastic about their breast augmentation are: A curvier, more feminine body shape A boost to their self-esteem The ability to wear new and exciting kinds of clothes that didn’t suit their previous figures Newfound symmetry of the breasts Expanded social and career opportunities Testimonials from Breast Augmentation Patients Dr. Coscia comes highly recommended by his breast augmentation patients. As you contemplate which surgeon to choose for this procedure, we encourage you to consider the experiences of people who have received implants from Dr. Coscia: “After 5 different consults, Dr. Coscia was the first to make me feel safe, heard and taken care of! After breast augmentation, he made my biggest insecurity one of my favorite things about myself.” – Y.W. “I got a breast augmentation by Dr. Coscia and it was a great experience. I’m so happy with how my surgery turned out… I would do everything the same all over again. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Coscia to anyone.” – R.S “My implants look fantastic and have already dropped nicely. I am 3 weeks post-op and have no pain at all. My incisions are right in the crease underneath the breast where they should be and are smooth and extremely small. I will be back to Dr. Coscia and his staff for any cosmetic procedures I have done in the future.” – K.W. What Types of Implants are used for Breast Augmentation?Breast Implant Patient Before and After Photos Dr. Coscia offers each of the three broad categories of implants at his Sacramento, Granite Bay and Coeur d’Alene offices: Silicone Implants Silicone implants consist of a silicone shell filled with a gel substance. Because they most closely mimic breast tissue, they are considered to have the most natural feel of the implant options. Incisions for this procedure tend to be a bit larger than with saline implants because they must be inserted in full. Saline Implants While this kind of implant also has a silicone shell, it is primarily composed of sterilized salt water. Because this implant can be inserted empty and filled later, it is easier to keep incisions for the procedure smaller and more discreet. In the rare case that the implant leaks, the body naturally absorbs and expels the saline with no health consequences. Gummy Bear ImplantsBreast Implant Options in Sacramento Breast Implant Options in Sacramento & Granite Bay, also known as form-stable implants, gummy bear implants are considered the “next generation” of implants because they are teardrop shaped. As a result, these implants better replicate the natural shape of perky breasts than do the traditional round-shaped implants, and they maintain this shape indefinitely. Research has found that these implants are among the least likely to rupture. There is no perfect implant for all patients. At your consultation, you will discuss all three types of implants with Dr. Coscia. He will give you the opportunity to examine and feel the differences so that together you can decide which product will enable you to best achieve your desired breast shape and size. How Do I Determine My Implant Size? The approach to determining your implant size is multifaceted. How an implant fits and looks on one woman is very different from how it may look on another woman. Body shape, height, shoulder width and personal perception all play a role.

• Breast Lift

  The breast lift procedure, formally known as a “mastopexy,” is simply designed to lift the breast. Several factors influence a gradual drooping of the breast. As you age, the skin throughout the body loses a degree of elasticity, decreasing the skin’s ability to return to normal shape. The typical changes that occur with pregnancy and breastfeeding stretch the breast skin, leaving the breasts expanded and at a lower position. After breastfeeding, asymmetrical breasts also bother many women. Patients who have lost significant weight also are faced with the problem of looser breast tissue. This breast droop that develops is referred to as “breast ptosis.” Therefore, the goal of a breast lift is to get rid of excess breast skin and reposition the breasts in a more superior and ideal position, restoring the natural shape and positioning of the breasts. Home » Breast Lift in Sacramento, CA Techniques Involved in a Breast Lift The breast lift procedure itself will elevate the breasts, reshape them, and improve the symmetry between them. There are a few different breast lift techniques based on the incision patterns. During your consultation with Dr. Coscia, he will perform a physical exam with measurements of your breasts that will help guide the decision for the type of breast lift used. The benefits of each technique will be discussed thoroughly. Vertical or “Lollipop” Lift A vertical or “lollipop” lift corrects moderate breast sagging through a circular incision around the edge of the areola and an additional incision running vertically from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease. Wise Pattern or “Anchor” LiftBreast Lift in Sacramento and Granite Bay A Wise pattern or “anchor” lift corrects extensive breast sagging through three incisions: a circular incision around the edge of the areola, a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. Breast Lift with Augmentation Some women desire added fullness in conjunction with a lift. The combination procedure to lift the breasts and add implants is referred to as a “mastopexy augmentation.” For these patients, a breast lift is performed at the same time as breast augmentation with the insertion of implants. This is a great procedure to gain both improved breast shape and positioning and increase fullness to the upper border of the breast. What Type of Anesthesia is Used for this Procedure? Frequently, general anesthesia is utilized with the assistance of a board certified anesthesiologist. However, it is also possible to have this procedure performed under IV sedation with the injection of local anesthetic. During your consultation with Dr. Coscia, you will discuss these options and determine what is optimal in your case. Breast Lift Recovery After surgery, you will be sent home in a surgical bra to wear for approximately six weeks. This allows appropriate healing of your breasts during the initial healing phase. Most patients return the day after surgery for initial evaluation and further instructions followed by additional visits throughout your recovery period. Typically, a week off from work is all that is needed. Dr. Coscia will also discuss various postoperative activity restrictions in order to protect the breasts during the initial healing phase. Complementary Procedures with Breast Lift Breast lift in Granite BayBreast lift addresses loose, sagging breasts but won’t restore lost volume or increase breast size. Breast augmentation with breast implants or fat transfer can enhance the breasts, especially for women with deflated breasts after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or natural aging. Breast lift is often combined with breast augmentation to address both concerns simultaneously. Many women have multiple problem areas on their face and body. Combining breast lift with a body or face procedure can help you achieve several cosmetic goals with a single surgery. Liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, and Brazilian butt lift can be paired with your breast lift procedure. Facial plastic surgery, such as facelift or eyelid surgery, can combat the changes from natural aging or those persistent under-eye bags and dark circles leftover from sleepless nights with children.

• Breast Reduction

  Breast reduction is one of the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery, as well as having one of the highest patient satisfaction ratings. Breast reduction can be thought of as a breast lift with the addition of removing breast tissue to decrease the overall size of the breasts. Breast reductions are most frequently performed in adult women. However, some adolescents and teens experience early and excessive breast development causing breast enlargement and breast droop. These patients are also candidates for breast reduction. Breast reduction provides both a cosmetic improvement, as well as a functional improvement. A breast reduction provides the benefit of improving aesthetic breast shape and functional concerns. Many women with very large breasts suffer from neck and back pain. Therefore, reduction surgery reduces pain allowing for a benefit in daily activity. Home » Breast Reduction in Sacramento, CA Breast Reduction Procedure Details The incision patterns for breast reductions are essentially the same as for a breast lift. Typically, the Wise pattern incisions are utilized. Through these incisions, breast skin is removed as in a breast lift; however, additional areas of breast tissue are removed according to the preoperative size of the breasts and the ultimate goal of breast size postoperatively. Once the tissue has been removed, the skin is then re-draped around the new smaller breast and lifted into the appropriate position. This provides the patient with a significantly reduced breast size and improved breast shape and position. Breast Reduction Candidacy Candidates for breast reduction are women who experience physical and psychological discomfort due to oversized, heavy breasts. Dr. Coscia’s breast reduction patients often suffer from the following symptoms related to the size and shape of their breasts:Breast Reduction in Sacramento and Granite Bay Chronic back, neck or shoulder pain Skin irritation, rashes or infection under the breasts Grooves in the shoulders from bra straps digging into the skin Difficulty breathing Poor posture Shame or embarrassment due to unwanted attention from others Emotional distress or anxiety related to the size and shape of the breasts Inability to enjoy activities like sports and exercise Difficulty finding bras and clothing that fit the breasts By eliminating excess tissue, fat and skin, breast reduction creates more proportional breasts that balance out the patient’s frame and flatter her body type. After surgery, patients experience freedom from the pain, discomfort and embarrassment of oversized breasts. Also, patients are able to exercise and play sports comfortably after healing from breast reduction. What Procedures Can be Combined with Breast Reduction Surgery? Breast Reduction Gallery Granite Bay. Obviously, numerous procedures can be combined with any breast surgery. Frequently, liposuction can be performed on the lateral sides of the breasts and chest in order to improve the overall shape. What Type of Anesthesia is Used for this Procedure? Typically, general anesthesia is utilized for breast reduction. This allows the patient to be more comfortable throughout the procedure and is done quite safely. Breast Reduction Recovery As with most breast surgical procedures, you will be placed in a surgical bra to be worn for approximately six weeks. Frequently, a small drain is placed under each breast and left in place for a couple of days. Pain is actually quite minimal with breast reduction surgery. Therefore, most women can easily return to work within a week, and postoperative activity restrictions are slightly less aggressive than even with Breast Reduction Frequently Asked Questions Where are the incisions made for breast reduction? There are several ways to perform the breast reduction procedure. One approach is through an anchor-shaped incision, also known as the Wise pattern. A circular incision is created around the edge of the areola, extending vertically down the front of the breast and horizontally along the crease of the breast. Another option is to perform surgery through a lollipop-shaped incision, which is nearly identical to the Wise pattern but without the horizontal incision along the breast crease. Will insurance cover breast reduction? Most insurance companies cover part or all of breast reduction procedures that are deemed “medically necessary” and that meet certain requirements. To qualify for insurance coverage, a patient must show that she experiences symptoms (e.g., back, neck or shoulder pain) related to the size and weight of her breasts. She also needs to have a certain amount of tissue removed from each breast — though that amount varies from insurance company to company.

• Tummy Tuck

  Toning and shaping the midsection often pose a great challenge for many people. Previous pregnancies and weight loss can create a significant hurdle to overcome even with good diet and exercise in some people. The tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a great procedure designed at restoring an aesthetic shape to the abdomen and trunk. Home » Tummy Tuck in Sacramento, CA What is Involved with a Tummy Tuck? The abdominoplasty is a frequently performed procedure in cosmetic plastic surgery. Its goal is to remove excess skin and fat around the lower abdomen with the addition of tightening the abdominal muscles to reshape a person’s core. The procedure itself involves a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen below the bikini line. This allows removal of excess skin and lower abdominal fat that is often persistent after significant weight loss or pregnancy despite regular diet and exercise. Next, the abdominal muscles are tightened. Particularly after pregnancy when the entire abdominal wall itself is stretched due to growth of the baby, the connections down the midline of the abdomen are unable to be fully restored. Therefore, a key component of the abdominoplasty is realigning the central abdominal muscles to restore a flatter abdomen as well as enhance a feminine hourglass shape. In addition, liposuction is performed along the flanks and lower back as part of a typical abdominoplasty in order to further enhance an aesthetic feminine shape. It is very rare to find a patient that is dissatisfied with a well-performed abdominoplasty due to the significant transformation that it provides. Who Is a Candidate for Tummy Tuck? Tummy Tuck in Sacramento and Granite Bay Candidates for tummy tuck meet the following criteria: Tummy Tuck Candidacy in Sacramento & Granite BayAre in good general health Do not have any serious medical conditions that could interfere with the surgery or healing process Do not smoke, or can quit several weeks prior to surgery Do not plan to lose a significant amount of weight after surgery (For women) Do not plan to become pregnant after surgery Have reasonable expectations of surgery Can commit to following Dr. Coscia’s pre- and post-op instructions What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck? Variations to the full abdominoplasty do exist. A “mini-abdominoplasty” or a “mini-tummy tuck” typically involves a slightly shorter lower abdominal incision with a smaller amount of skin and fatty tissue removed and only tightening of the lower abdominal muscles. This would be appropriate in a patient with very little lower abdominal skin and fat but desires a tighter lower abdomen with improved shape. A “modified abdominoplasty” involves tightening of the skin and possibly the abdominal musculature without interfering with the belly button. Tummy Tuck Sacramento Before and After Photos View More Patient Results What Procedures Can be Combined with Abdominoplasty? Oftentimes additional liposuction of the upper back, arms, and thighs can be added to the tummy tuck procedure if desired. Other patients may prefer some form of breast surgery at the same time, often referred to as a “mommy makeover.” This may involve a breast lift or a breast augmentation. Is Abdominoplasty Appropriate for Men? Absolutely. Most men who seek information about abdominoplasty have had significant weight loss. The procedure will allow removal of excess lower abdominal skin and tightening of the abdominal muscles that will allow more effective abdominal workouts in the gym. Similarly, the incision is kept very low below the underwear line and liposuction is often combined with the procedure as well. Tummy Tuck Surgery Recovery The surgery itself does take a few hours. You will then be discharged home with an abdominal binder which reinforces the muscle repair that has been performed. You will wear this binder and/or a compression garment for approximately six weeks in order to allow for decreased swelling and improved shape and contour after liposuction. During surgery, a local anesthetic will be injected into your abdominal muscles. This exciting new anesthetic will numb your abdomen for approximately three days, allowing your pain level to be decreased substantially during the initial healing phase. This will also allow for better mobility after surgery. Dr. Coscia will also discuss activity restrictions during your visit. You will need to refrain from any core exercise for approximately six weeks in order to allow the muscle tightening and repair to heal appropriately.

• Mommy Makeover

  Carrying a child is a beautiful and natural part of life. However, this process may leave behind some unwanted physical changes in a woman’s body. A woman’s breasts often lose fullness and shape after hormonal changes and breastfeeding. Furthermore, the abdominal muscles lose integrity and shape due to the stretching and protrusion of the lower abdomen from carrying a child. Loose skin and stretch marks also develop around the lower abdomen. A “mommy makeover” is a general term used to describe procedures aimed at reversing the aesthetic changes that occur with pregnancy. Home » Mommy Makeover in Sacramento, CA Candidates for Mommy Makeover You may be a suitable candidate for mommy makeover if you meet the following criteria: Bothered by the physical changes caused by past pregnancies or breastfeeding In good physical health Non-smoker or able to quit prior to surgery No longer breastfeeding Weight has been stable for at least six months Do not plan to gain or lose a significant amount of weight after surgery or become pregnant again Have specific, realistic treatment goals Dr. Coscia would be happy to discuss your mommy makeover options in detail with you during a consultation. Please contact our practice to request an appointment today. The Mommy Makeover Consultation Mommy Makeover in Sacramento and Granite Bay Mommy Makeover Procedure infographicThe mommy makeover consultation is an opportunity to learn what is possible through surgery. Dr. Coscia will ask you to describe your goals of treatment, and inquire about your health and medical history. He will perform a physical examination of the areas of your body that you would like to improve. Based on the information he gathers during your discussion and his physical examination, Dr. Coscia will recommend the combination of procedures most likely to give you the results you want. Together, the two of you will develop a treatment plan for your mommy makeover. Bring a list of questions or potential concerns to your mommy makeover consultation so Dr. Coscia can address them. You might also want to bring a pair of underwear or a bikini bottom to help Dr. Coscia plan out your tummy tuck scar (and a low-cut top or bikini top if you are thinking about getting breast implants)

• Liposuction

  Liposuction has impacted body contouring over the last few decades and affects the way body contouring procedures are approached. Liposuction has made cosmetic surgery acceptable to many patients who are concerned with the potential for unsightly scars. Liposuction is best thought of as a contouring procedure to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. Home » Liposuction in Sacramento, CA Benefits of Liposuction Liposuction is an efficient and practical solution for patients who have lost weight through diet and exercise but are frustrated by lingering pockets of fat that will not go away even with a healthy lifestyle. Liposuction permanently removes unwanted fat cells to provide patients with the attractive contours they have worked hard to achieve. It is a particularly useful surgery for patients who carry weight in specific areas due to genetics. Liposuction Can treat the Following Areas Typical areas that can be addressed include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, waist, knees, arms, hips, and under the chin/neck region. A healthy diet and exercise program may still leave stubborn fat deposits in certain areas. These deposits may be genetic and difficult to remove with diet and exercise alone. Therefore, liposuction is great in dealing with these hard-to-change areas. *While the procedure removes fat cells from the treated area, it is still important to maintain a good diet and exercise to ensure lasting results. Areas treated by liposuction will always be more difficult to accumulate gained weight/fat than prior to surgery, but that doesn’t mean the results last forever. Liposuction Candidacy Liposuction in Sacramento & Granite Bay The ideal liposuction candidate is an individual who: Is in good physical health Does not have any health conditions that could interfere with the surgical healing process Is at, or within a few pounds of, his or her goal weight Has good skin elasticity Does not smoke or can quit before surgery Has reasonable expectations of surgery Has a positive outlook on surgery What Does Liposuction Involve? It is important to be fully evaluated by a surgeon prior to liposuction to assure this procedure is the best treatment option in each patient’s case. If generalized improved contour is desired, then liposuction is typically a great choice. However, if there is any excess or loose skin, liposuction may not be the ideal treatment option—a typical tummy tuck may need to be discussed. For the surgical procedure itself, you will be seen by Dr. Coscia once again on the morning of surgery, at which time markings will be placed to define the areas of liposuction and map out the new contour. Dr. Coscia’s Liposuction Technique Details Dr. Coscia uses the tumescent liposuction technique. Tumescent fluid is a solution containing local anesthetic and epinephrine. When injected into the target treatment area, the fluid causes fat to become firm and swell for easier contouring. The epinephrine temporarily shrinks blood vessels to reduce blood loss during surgery and reduce post-operative bruising, swelling and discomfort. In the operating room, Dr. Coscia makes very small incisions in inconspicuous locations. Through these incisions, he injects the tumescent fluid. Then, he inserts hollow cannulas attached to a suction machine through the incisions and uses the cannulas to remove fat and contour the area in a very controlled manner. Dr. Coscia has found tumescent liposuction to be more effective than other forms of lipo like Cooltone, ultrasonic, laser lipo and lipo 360. To date, tumescent liposuction remains the most popular form of liposuction with patients across the United States. During consultation, Dr. Coscia can answer questions about the tumescent liposuction approach and explain how it helps him safely deliver excellent results. Combining Liposuction with Other Procedures While some patients seek liposuction as their primary procedure, many combine liposuction with other plastic surgery to improve the results. Liposuction is frequently paired with lift procedures like tummy tuck, thigh lift and arm lift to achieve nicer contours. By removing lingering pockets of fat while also excising loose skin, Dr. Coscia helps his patients to achieve sleeker physiques. Liposuction can also be combined with facelift to reduce the appearance of jowls along the jawline. What Type of Anesthesia Is Used for This Procedure? Typically liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. The patient will tolerate the procedure under this form of anesthesia much better. If the liposuction is being used to treat a very small area such as underneath the chin/neck region, this can oftentimes be performed under simple IV sedation.

• Body Lift after Weight Loss

  After significant weight loss, patients obviously enjoy a great deal of satisfaction and accomplishment. However, depending upon the amount of weight lost, they can often be left with varying degrees of excess skin that can be quite bothersome. The body lift procedure is designed at targeting those areas of excess skin and removing them, thereby providing the desired contour improvement. Home » Body Lift after Weight Loss in Sacramento, CA What is a Body Lift? The body lift procedure is a general term used to describe removing excess skin, typically after large amounts of weight loss. The specifics of the procedure are tailored for each patient depending on the areas of concern and could have various meanings. As weight is lost, the skin normally has the ability to react to small amounts of weight loss and contract to appropriately contour this new shape. However, when a large degree of weight is lost, the skin often loses its natural elasticity and remains loose. Therefore, surgical intervention is typically the only treatment course. What is a Lower Body Lift? Body Lift in Sacramento & Granite Bay A lower body lift entails removing excess skin and excess fat distribution from the lower trunk. This would involve a traditional abdominoplasty with removal of excess skin and fat and tightening of the abdominal muscles to improve contour. In addition, this would involve removing excess skin and fat from the lower back. Therefore, the patient would have an incision placed below the underwear line circumferentially around the lower waist in order to improve shape and contour 360 degrees around the patient. This can be referred to as a lower body lift, a belt lipectomy, or a circumferential abdominoplasty. What is an Upper Body Lift? In a similar fashion, an upper body lift can be performed. Oftentimes after significant weight loss, patients are left with excess skin along the chest and underneath the armpit area, and it can continue around the upper back. Many women are bothered by excess skin hanging over the bra line. Similar to the lower body lift, the upper body lift involves removal of skin and fat around the upper back and side. Careful attention is placed on positioning the scar to fall just under the bra or bikini line. What Procedures Can be Combined with Body Lift Procedures? Oftentimes patients that have lost a significant amount of weight will undergo various procedures targeted at the areas of excess skin that bother them most. This could be an upper body lift or a lower body lift, and sometimes is combined with a mastopexy or a mastopexy/augmentation. In addition, a breast auto-augmentation allows for a breast augmentation utilizing the patient’s own tissue. In this procedure, an upper body lift is performed to remove excess skin and fat, but a portion of this tissue is utilized and rotated into the breast to augment the breasts rather than use implants. Similar to the auto augmentation, buttocks augmentation can also be performed. In this procedure, a lower body lift is performed in typical fashion with the addition of utilizing a portion of the lower back tissue to transpose into the buttocks to give added fullness to an area that is typically flattened and without fullness after weight loss. Furthermore, some patients elect to undergo an arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, or a thigh lift to remove excess skin in these areas. The combination of these various procedures, as well as the logistics of how they are carried out will be discussed with each patient individually. With large procedures like this, safety for the patient is of utmost concern. Therefore, depending on the procedures being discussed, certain ones may be combined together and others may be staged as secondary procedures in order to limit the length of surgical time. What Type of Anesthesia is Used for this Procedure? Essentially for all of these procedures general anesthesia is used. This allows for complete patient comfort and an optimal setting for the best outcome. Body Lift Recovery The surgery itself does take a few hours with upper and lower body lifts. You would then spend some time in our recovery room to assure that you are ready to be discharged home. Once discharged home, you will have drains in place. The anesthesic, Exparel, will allow for approximately three days of near numbness along the abdomen to assist with pain control and help during the initial healing phase. You will speak extensively with Dr. Coscia on your postoperative instructions as well as your restrictions. You can typically plan on refraining from core exercises for approximately six weeks to allow for appropriate healing. Most patients take approximately two to three weeks off of work for this type of procedure.

Neuromodulators vs. Dermal Fillers Injectables is a blanket term for facial injections with neuromodulators and dermal fillers. These products offer unique benefits that target your cosmetic concerns. Juvéderm injector Coeur D’Alene, IDBotox and Dysport are neuromodulators that contain a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A. These injectables target the muscles under the skin responsible for dynamic wrinkles, which form after years of repeated facial expressions that crease the skin. Neuromodulators can treat: 11s or vertical lines between the eyebrows. Horizontal forehead lines. Crow’s feet or wrinkles around the outer eyes. This class of injectables provides fast results that start to appear a few days after your treatment as the targeted muscle relaxes and smooths overlying skin tissue. Results from Botox or Dysport may last three to five months. Dermal fillers or facial fillers do as the name suggests; they fill in volume-deficient areas with a synthetic gel. These injectables are best for static wrinkles that develop with age due to loss of collagen and elasticity, excessive sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Facial fillers can address the following: Facial volume loss Moderate-to-severe lines and wrinkles Thin lips or lip wrinkles Facial scarring Some dermal fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin and body that decreases with age. Hyaluronic acid injectables offer immediate results that plump up areas of the face. Other facial fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra focus on rebuilding the skin’s structural support by encouraging the body to increase collagen production. Radiesse provides some immediate results with continued improvement, while Sculptra provides gradual results as the body strengthens the treated area. Depending on the type of filler, you may enjoy smoother, more voluminous skin for six months to five years before a maintenance treatment is necessary. Neuromodulators are best for moderate-to-severe wrinkles caused by muscle movements, and dermal fillers are best for filling in lines, adding facial volume, and lip augmentation. Benefits of Injectables Sculptra treatment in Granite Bay Injectables offer immediate or near-immediate results, providing fast facial rejuvenation in time for an event or special occasion. The minimally invasive nature of injectables offers anti-aging results without going under general anesthesia for an invasive face surgery. Neuromodulators and dermal fillers carry fewer risks than surgical procedures, such as facelift, and do not leave incision lines or scarring behind. There’s no downtime necessary after an injectable treatment, whereas facial plastic surgery often requires one or two weeks off work and up to eight weeks of healing. However, you will need repeat treatments to maintain your youthful appearance. Injectables can target your unique concerns, from acne scarring on the cheeks to volume loss, lip enhancement, and wrinkles in multiple areas. These injections can also enhance your results from a face procedure, such as smoothing forehead creases after a facelift or eyelid surgery.

• CoolSculpting

  For some people, following a healthy diet and exercise plan isn’t enough to get rid of stubborn fat bulges. That’s why CoolSculping is such an exciting new procedure. And it’s now available at The Plastic Surgery Center in Granite Bay, CA. Home » CoolSculpting in Sacramento, CA What is CoolSculpting Treatment? *CoolSculpting is the only FDA-approved, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses the power of cooling to target and get rid of fat cells. When CoolSculpting devices are applied to the treatment area, the cooling energy penetrates the skin and breaks down fat cells, while keeping surrounding healthy tissue intact. Over time, the body’s metabolic processes remove these cells, resulting in a fat cell reduction of up to 25%. What Body Areas Can be Treated?CoolSculpting in Sacramento CoolSculpting is a fast, non-invasive treatment that takes less than an hour per area to treat. Multiple body areas can be targeted in one treatment session. Common treatment areas include the stomach, waistline, thighs, and buttocks. The CoolSculpting Mini device can be used to target smaller treatment areas, including underneath the chin and around the armpit. CoolSculpting Treatment Details To start, our CoolSculpting Specialist will apply a gel to the area where CoolSculpting will be performed to protect the skin. Then he will use a rounded handpiece to administer cold temperatures to the unwanted fat. Some people feel overwhelmed by the cold sensation initially, but the body will become numb momentarily. Although patients notice some pinching and tugging at their skin during the suctioning process, most feel comfortable enough that they can read or watch videos on their phones while it is happening. The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes per treatment area. In subsequent months, the body naturally expels the frozen (dead) fat cells from the body. As they disappear, the body should gradually appear more toned. Fat Freezing Recovery Coolsculpting Sacramento, CAThere’s no downtime associated with the treatment, making it a perfect option for busy clients. Common side effects include tingling and slight bruising. CoolSculpting is a everlasting solution to stubborn fat reduction. Ideal candidates should already be following a healthy diet and exercise regimen, as it does not prevent against the formation of new fat cells. CoolSculpting Costs The price of CoolSculpting depends on the number of areas and the size of the areas the patient wants treated. After having a consultation with the patient to discuss the goals of the procedure, our CoolSculpting Specialist informs the patient of the cost so that the patient may make an informed decision on whether to proceed with the treatment. Because CoolSculpting is an elective procedure, it is not covered by most insurance plans. Our office accepts financing options through CareCredit and M-Lend Financial Services for patients who would like to make payments toward the cost of CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting FAQ Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting for Bay Area patientsCoolSculpting is not a weight-loss surgery and will not achieve meaningful results for obese people. The best candidates for CoolSculpting are about 10 or 15 pounds away from their goal weight. If you have stubborn sections of fat that have not disappeared even with dieting and exercising, then you are likely to benefit from freezing your fat cells. It is an especially good choice for patients who prefer a non-invasive technique to contour their bodies. How many times will I need to undergo CoolSculpting? The number of CoolSculpting treatments recommended by our CoolSculpting Specialist will depend on your personal aesthetic goals. Because each treatment gets rid of up to 25% of fat cells, you may wish to repeat the process one or more times to optimize the results. It is important to wait at least a few months after the first fat freezing before trying again, not only to give your body time to recover and be receptive to the treatment again, but also to allow time to see the progress made by the first treatment. How long will my CoolSculpting results last? The fat that disappears from this non-surgical body sculpting treatment will be gone permanently, meaning that you should be able to maintain your new shape indefinitely. Be aware, however, that if you gain or lose a significant amount of weight in the future, the contours you have achieved with this procedure may be lost. Is CoolSculpting safe? Male CoolSculpting TreatmentCoolSculpting has been performed over 1 million times and is considered one of the safest ways to eliminate fat cells from the body. Side effects are rare and usually minor. You may experience some redness, swelling and bruising for a short period, though lasting discomfort is unlikely. If your side effects are significant, please see a doctor.

• Vein Removal

  Say Goodbye to Unsightly Veins! Visible veins can make it difficult to feel as confident as you deserve. Whether you’re dealing with spider veins (purple and red veins visible underneath the skin) or varicose veins (large, bumpy, raised veins), you’re looking for the best way to get rid of visible veins once and for all. At The Plastic Surgery Center in Granite Bay and Sacramento, CA, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rudy Coscia is pleased to offer two effective vein therapy options: Laser Vein Therapy and Sclerotherapy. Home » Vein Treatment in Sacramento, CA What is Laser Vein Therapy? Laser vein therapy is a painless non-invasive procedure that’s most effective for spider veins and smaller varicose veins. Laser therapy uses heat energy to penetrate the dermis and damage the vein. Over time, scar tissue grows around the damaged vein, which forces the vein to collapse and eventually become absorbed by the body. Laser vein therapy sessions are scheduled every few months, depending on the size and severity of the vein. There’s no downtime associated with the treatment, with final results visible after one to two years of treatment. What Is Sclerotherapy? Varicose Vein Treatment in Sacramento and Granite Bay An alternative to laser vein therapy is sclerotherapy, which is a more invasive procedure that delivers faster results. Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a salt solution directly into the spider or varicose vein. The solution is designed to irritate the walls of the vein; once this happens, the vein collapses and becomes absorbed by the body. Results *Sclerotherapy can deliver faster results than laser vein therapy, with final results visible within two months for spider veins and three to four months for varicose veins. Sclerotherapy shows a high rate of effectiveness, 50% to 80% of treated veins are no longer visible after just one session.

Clients should expect temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site for a few days after each procedure.
