Dr. Sean Younai Reviews on Google Places & Yelp


Have you read Dr. Sean Younai reviews on popular local search review sites such as Google Places and Yelp?
Google Places offer great local search reviews of all business including that of Dr. Sean Younai in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Encino, and Bakersfield. Google+ plastic surgery reviews of Dr. Younai has generally been very positive and encouraging.
Yelp.com, has become a household name for local search reviews of restaurants, business, and even plastic surgeons. Sadly, there are a tremendous number of business owners who believe that Yelp is removing their good reviews and mostly showing their bad reviews because they refuse to advertise with yelp and pay them money! I am one of those business owners who were approached by Yelp sale people to advertise with them after Yelp filter buried many of my actual patient’s good reviews, and instead, placed suspicious bad reviews on my first page. How do we know this? When we approached some of these people to inquire about their complaints, they asked for money in return for removing their bad reviews. This is sad and unjust!
There are over 5000 before and after plastic surgery pictures of Dr. Younai’s patients on his web site. These results are testimony to Dr. Younai’s level of skill and patient care as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. This is why patients routinely come from not only Southern California, but from the entire United States, as well as abroad to get plastic surgery by Dr. Younai. This success can only be built by delivering patients quality results and service. To give Dr. Younai’s patients an opportunity to share their plastic surgery experience and to voice their opinions we offer a Patient Forum where they post their comments, before and after pictures, and tips.  We hope that it would give new patients a way of educating themselves about their plastic surgery endeavor.

Tummy Tuck for Men in Los Angeles- Male Abdominoplasty

Have you ever heard of a man getting a tummy tuck! Isn’t a tummy tuck just for women who have had multiple pregnancies? Then, why would a man get a tummy tuck in Los Angeles?
Male tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is not such an uncommon plastic surgery procedure in Beverly Hills as you might think! Los Angeles men who have lost massive weight either by dieting or with Bariatric Surgery are often left with unsightly hanging abdominal flab. These Southern California men who seek an abdominoplasty don’t get a tummy tuck because of vanity, but in order to look normal, wear cloths comfortably, and in order to be able to live active lives.
After Gastric bypass or lap band surgery, men who have lost more than 60 lbs of weight are often left with a hanging pannus. Besides being unattractive it poses a hindrance to exercise, as well as a man’s ability to wear normal cloths.
Tummy Tuck for Men in Los Angeles
Body Lift
Male Abdominoplasty
There are several body contouring procedures who help men regain their normal physic after massive weight loss. High Tension Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty for men not only removes excess abdominal skin, but also tightens the abdominal muscles. For men who also have sagging of the thighs or buttocks a body lift surgery is more appropriate. In Los Angeles, a body lift which is also called a lower body lift is a combination of a tummy tuck and a buttock lift or lower body lift. While the tummy tuck portion of the body lift, removes the excess skin of the abdomen and tightens its muscles, the buttock lift portion, lifts the buttocks and removes the excess skin of the lower back and flanks. Liposuction of the flanks or “love handles” can also be incorporated in order to enhance the overall results of the tummy tuck.
A tummy tuck for men varies from that for women, in that the emphasis is not to make the body look curvy and feminine. The scars are also placed very low so that they don’t show in a bathing suit.
Dr. Sean Younai is a board certified plastic surgeon who is very experienced in all aspects of post-bariatric or massive weight loss plastic surgery. He not only performs High Tension Abdominoplasty and body lift, but also High-Volume Liposuction, brachioplasty or arm tuck, thigh lift or thigh reduction, upper body lift, breast lift or mastopexy, as well as face and neck lifts. These complex cosmetic and restorative surgeries can only be performed at a surgical facility which is fully accredidated and equipped. Dr. Younai utilizes Regency Surgery Center which is an AAACH accredidated, and Medicare Certified freestanding Outpatient Surgery Center. Here, patients are cared for by an experienced group of Board Certified Anesthesiologists and critical care nurses who work meticulously not only to ensure patient’s safety but also their comfort.
At the California Center for Plastic Surgery Dr. Sean Younai receives patients from the Northern as well as the Southern California region, including cities such as Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, Valencia, Palmdale, Fresno, Bakersfield, Oxnard, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, East Bay, San Jose, and Stockton.

Tummy Tuck for African-American women- What African American Women look for abdominoplasty in Los Angeles


The ideal for a beautiful figure differs much between African-American women and Caucasians; not only in Los Angeles or Southern California, but through-out the United States of America.



While most Caucasian women seek cosmetic plastic surgery in order to obtain a smaller and more petite figure, most African-American women don’t mind being full bodied. Instead, they rather have a curvaceous figure with a full buttock.



The failure to note this difference in expectations among different ethnicities can often lead to the disappointment of African-American women who have gone through plastic surgery, only to find themselves with a less attractive “stick-figure” body.



The first picture is that of an African-American women who had a tummy tuck in Beverly Hills. She told me that while she got rid off her hanging abdominal skin fold with a tummy tuck she still did not like the final result of her Abdominoplasty because of lack of shape.

 

The second photo is that of the same woman after a revision abdominoplasty and liposuction by me. Note the difference in shape, curves, and figure. This is what most African American women say they want. Black women don’t necessarily want to get thinner, but more curvaceous.



As the ethnic diversity changes in the United States plastic surgeons should pay closer attention to the notion of beauty among different ethnicities.

Facial Cosmetic Surgery Procedures in Los Angeles- Keep looking young in your 40’s!



Aging is inevitable but looking good is a choice! Most Los
Angeles women notice the first signs of facial aging in their late 30’s or
early 40’s. As a Plastic Surgeon in Beverly Hills, I often hear from women that they suddenly noticed their face aging when they reached a certain age. Facial aging can be slow or rather
sudden and dramatic. For some women this is hastened by a stressful life event,
by weight loss, or by changes in body hormones caused by pre-menopause or even
hysterectomy. Seeing your face age in front of a mirror in a matter of a few months is scary and
depressing. Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeons have developed new cosmetic surgery techniques for women in their 40s. The new paradigm in facial esthetic surgery is to keep women looking young via small and easy procedures during their 40s rather than putting them through drastic plastic surgery procedures in you 50s.

The most common non-invasive plastic surgery procedure utilized by middle age women is the injection of Botox and dermal fillers. Botox is a muscle toxin than relaxes cramped facial muscles, thus softening the appearance of frowns and the wrinkles around the eyes. Dermal
fillers accomplish this by filling the depth of these wrinkles.
Micro-facial fat grafting is a relatively new and revolutionary technique for facial
rejuvenation. It returns facial fullness to the areas that lose their volume
with aging. On such area is around the lower eyelids were the eyes become
hollow. Other areas are the cheeks and the
lips that lose their volume with aging. Facial fat grafting can give a middle
age women a refreshed look without having to expose them to major surgery.
Of all the areas of the face, the first to show signs of aging are the eyes. Drooping upper eyelids and baggy lower eyelids can be smoothened by an eyelid tuck or Blepharoplasty. This
is a minor cosmetic surgery procedure with a simple and fast recovery course.
Sagging brows produce frowns and forehead wrinkles. Endoscopic forehead lift or brow lift
raises the eyebrows and smoothens the forehead.
These were some of the facial plastic surgery procedures that keep
women looking young during their 40s. Dr. Younai is a Board Certified Plastic
& Reconstructive Surgeon with experience in all aspects of Facial Cosmetic Surgery including facial fat grafting, Facelift or Rhytidectomy, eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, neck
lift, forehead or brow lift, rhinoplasty, etc. He is skilled and experienced in
all techniques of facial rejuvenation surgery and strives to create a face that is natural and normal looking. During your consultation he will discuss all
details including: if you are a good candidate, surgical options and
techniques, potential risks and complications of surgery, pre- and
post-operative instructions, recovery course, as well as what to expect after
surgery. At that time Dr. Younai will also show you before-and-after
pictures of other patients with facelifts, who might be similar to
you.

Dr. Younai performs Facial Cosmetic Surgery for patients who come to the California Center for Plastic Surgery from the Northern as well as the Southern California
region. Some of these cities include Beverly Hills,
Los Angeles, Santa Monica,
Hollywood, Burbank,
Sherman Oaks, Encino, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Thousand
Oaks, Westlake Village, Pasadena, Glendale, Valencia,

Asian Eyelid Surgery in Beverly Hills


Asian Eyelid Plastic Surgery, also known as “Double Eyelid Surgery,” is the most requested cosmetic surgery in the Asian population, both in Asia and the United States. However, the average age of those who undergo this surgery is generally younger than for eyelid surgery that is performed on “Occidental” patients.

Many Asians go to impressive lengths to create a crease without surgery. For example, some women sweep glue above their eyes, use a mini-fork to hike up their eyelids, and then press it into place. The goal is to create a larger, more attractive eye. Rather than endure this routine on a daily basis, many patients opt for cosmetic surgery that creates a permanent crease.

While many regard this plastic surgery as an attempt to appear more “Western,” possibly a better definition of the goal is to have a more defined contouring of the skin above the lashes that is harmonious with other facial features. Often criticized as a rejection of cultural “norms,” this surgery is in fact sought for the same reasons as are other procedures – to increase the patient’s self confidence. It is not sought to look more Occidental. Rather, patients seek to conform to what is more widely regarded as aesthetically pleasing, whatever the culture. In other words, patients do not seek a more Western eye, but simply a prettier Asian one.

About half of all Asian patients have an upper eyelid with a low but defined eyelid crease. The other 50 percent of patients show little or no sign of a crease, i.e. a “single eyelid.”


When present, the Asian crease differs from the typical Occidental crease in a number of ways. These include formation that is closer to the eyelashes, a different shape – with sometimes incomplete or multiple folds. The Asian upper eyelid appears fuller or “puffier” than the Occidental eyelid for many reasons, including a thicker eyebrow fat pad that projects lower into the eyelid, and a much thicker subcutaneous layer of fat that adds padding over the entire eyelid. This interferes with crease formation.

Also, because Asian eyelashes tend to bend downward, the area between the upper and lower eyelids appears more closed.
