Board-certified plastic surgeons can deliver safe, satisfying results
As we age, our skin tends to lose its elasticity, evident as droopy eyelids, stretch marks, and a belly bulge that sticks around long after childbearing. Aging is inevitable, but plastic and reconstructive surgeries can counteract some of its cosmetic effects.
In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and guest Salvatore Pacella, MD, head of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Scripps Clinic Del Mar, discuss why our skin tends to sag as we age, common cosmetic procedures for the face and body, including the popular plastic surgery package known as the Mommy Makeover — a tummy tuck and breast augmentation performed at the same time. They also touch on cosmetic procedures trending with men.
The majority of cosmetic procedures are far less invasive than they were in the past and many can be done on an outpatient basis. There are risks associated with cosmetic plastic surgery, as with all surgeries, but choosing Scripps comes with the peace of mind that all surgeries are performed by board-certified surgeons and anesthesiologists are on hand at all times.
