Beverly Hills Body Use New Techniques to Speed Recovery and Minimize Pain
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) October 12, 2005 -- Making the decision to improve your appearance is an important one - especially when you must face clients and colleagues, nosey neighbors and judgmental family members post-op. Dr. Richard Ellenbogen and the team of highly skilled plastic surgeons at Beverly Hills Body have made it their mission to minimize recovery time and post-operative discomfort. In fact, the firm?s techniques have been so revolutionary, the team teaches an annual course on faster healing techniques to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the leading organization of board-certified plastic surgeons specializing in cosmetic plastic surgery.
"People want to look good right after surgery," says Dr. Richard Ellenbogen, a 30-year plastic surgery veteran whose techniques have been featured on shows from CNN to Dr. 90210. Dr. Ellenbogen has pioneered several techniques, from the mini-incision, underarm breast augmentation to facial fat grafting and restructuring, volumetric face lifts and Vaser® LipoSelection, all of which enable patients to recuperate much faster than with conventional plastic surgery techniques.
Dr. Ellenbogen was one of the first surgeons to shorten facelift incisions by 60 percent resulting in astonishingly shorter recovery times. Patients are able to wash their hair and shower on the day after the operation - with no lengthy bed rest required. In addition, Dr. Ellenbogen is considered by plastic surgeons the world over to be the ?father of fat grafting,? a minimally invasive procedure that adds fat where it is lost due to aging. The procedure is now widely recognized as an essential component to a natural-looking facelift.
Beverly Hills Body is also on the forefront of the body sculpting business. They are currently one of the few surgery centers to offer VASER® Liposelection, a new procedure that uses pulsed ultrasonic waves to dissolve fat. The procedure offers improved results and dramatically reduced recovery times over traditional and ultrasonic liposuction techniques. Patients can resume their normal activities quickly and, in many cases, are back to work in just a few days. VASER® Liposelection recovery is further enhanced by Endermologie®, an FDA approved procedure for cellulite reduction and body contouring that smoothes out skin irregularities and reduces post-lipoplasty swelling and bruising.
In addition, Dr. Ellenbogen is widely credited with developing the minimally invasive breast augmentation whereby a small 1-inch incision is hidden in the natural folds and creases under the arm. The procedure, now considered the industry standard, is better than the umbilical cord breast augmentation because the implants can be placed more accurately.

"The goal of a plastic surgeon is to improve a patient's self image, and we take that responsibility very seriously,? adds Ellenbogen. ?We try to give patients a very positive experience with as little inconvenience and discomfort as possible."
