  • Reversing the “Dad Bod”: Plastic Surgeon Explains Cosmetic Procedures for Men
    No matter how many push-ups or sit-ups you do, you can’t stop your hair from falling out or your face from losing volume. LJC plastic surgeon (and dad) Dr. Luke Swistun takes us through the most popular cosmetic procedures for men.

    Aging typically results in a slower metabolism and weight gain in the wrong places, and the “dad bod” starts to appear. During liposculpture, or HD liposuction, fat is removed from unwanted areas and moved to the areas where men want more volume, like the pecs and abdominals, for a leaner, more muscular appearance.

    Most men want to stay looking young and healthy, but you can only do so much with diet and exercise. With simple maintenance procedures like fillers, Botox, and lasers, no one will know you had any cosmetic intervention.

  • The 3 R’s of Thread Lift: Reduce Wrinkles, Replace Volume, and Rejuvenate Skin
    The “thread lift king” is here to tell us how threads can lift your face, neck, and most of your body without surgery.

    Khanh Nguyen, FNP-C, MSN, lives by the “three Rs” when it comes to keeping patients looking young. To 1) ‘reduce’ wrinkles with Botox, 2) ‘replace’ lost volume with fillers, and 3) ‘rejuvenate’ lax skin with threads.

    If you give your cheeks a one finger lift when you look in the mirror, threads can lift and tighten up that lax skin. Khanh typically recommends PDO threads over soft threads because they’re dissolvable, stronger, and have a lower risk of complications. Not only do PDO threads provide an instant lift, but they continue to smooth and tighten skin over the next 6 months as they naturally stimulate collagen production.

  • Nicole’s Mommy Makeover: Even Better Than My Pre-Baby Body


    Nicole knew she would look good after a mommy makeover with Dr. Brahme, but she had no idea it would turn out even better than her pre-baby body. After years avoiding form-fitting dresses, she now has the confidence to wear tight clothing without shapewear underneath.

    After having four children, Nicole worked hard trying to lose stubborn fat around her love handles and back, but nothing helped her bounce all the way back. With the goal of achieving an hourglass shape, she had an extended tummy tuck, liposuction, a breast augmentation with lift, and not wanting to waste the good fat removed from lipo, she had a fat transfer to her buttocks.

    If you’re considering a mommy makeover or any big procedure that leaves scars, Nicole wants you to know that the scars are 100% worth it, and you can’t get the amazing results you’re dreaming of without them.

  • Happy Wife, Happy Life: A Husband’s Perspective on Breast Explant Surgery
    When Candy first started experiencing strange symptoms, her husband Michael thought it was just an aging thing. Even as she met with plastic surgeons doctors to discuss having her breast implants removed, he was supportive but skeptical.

    Since her explant surgery a year ago, he quickly noticed Candy has much more energy. Like having a “brand new wife,” she has the energy of a 20-something, both physically and mentally.

    At the first consultation, when they saw how much Dr. Luke Swistun genuinely believed Candy and cared about her recovery, both she and Michael knew immediately that he was the right surgeon.
