Celebrities & Exoderm the Non Surgical Face Lift – Los Angeles
How to look younger without looking unnatural…
What if celebrities knew about a 1 time procedure that could take 10-15 years off their face without the “windswept” unnatural appearance? A procedure that not only erases wrinkles and lines and sun damage, but also rebuilds collagen, without cutting, pulling or scaring.
Dr. Thomas’ office knows of such a procedure. After undergoing this procedure many of Dr. Thomas’ patients look their natural selves only younger. This procedure is called Exoderm and Dr. Thomas has been performing it for over 11 years.
Many news sources mock or make fun off bad plastic surgery. I tend to agree that many celebrities and people go over board with fillers and Botox and Face Lifts. Remember plastic surgery is like anything else. Everything in moderation and a little goes a long way.
I think many a celebrity and regular folks who want to look younger, have nicer skin and do not want to look “done” would benefit from this non-surgical Exoderm procedure.
With many of the 50 – 70 some things out there who are getting face lifts and changing their natural looks with over doing fillers and Botox, isn’t it time that there is an alternative procedure?
_____________________________________________
Let’s look at some aging celebrities and see how Exoderm could have or can benefit them:
Klint Easwood – Age: 70’s
Here is a picture of Klint Eastwood. In his aged picture, Klint has age spots, sun damage, deep wrinkles, fine lines and loss of collagen. Exoderm can address every single one of those aging issues.
See the photos below of actual Exoderm patients that had similar aging issues as Klint. Try to envision what Exoderm could do for Klint.
Exoderm erases Sun Damage & Age Spots
Exoderm erases deep Wrinkles & Fine Lines & builds Collagen

Our Next Celebrity is Susan Sarandon
Susan is aging beautifully. It looks like she has not done a thing to her face. For Susan Exoderm will just lift the sagging jowls, get rid of the crows feet around her eyes and improve her overall skin tone. She probably would not have to wear as much makeup.
Let’s take a look at some Patients who have had Exoderm to address similar aging issues as Susan.

Let’s look at the next celebrity Susan Lang

Let’s take a look at some Patients who have had Exoderm to address similar aging issues as Susan Lang.
Exoderm will reverse loss of Collagen and Deep Folds
Exoderm will Improve Sagging Eyelids
___________________________________________________
Here are some celebrities who have undergone Plastic Surgery for Aging issues who may of benefited from a more natural Procedure like Exoderm.
Many a time celebrities over fill lips and chins with fillers because there is nothing out there like Exoderm that improves lines and builds collagen around the lips and chin area.
Let’s look at some Exoderm Patients that have had significant improvement with the “troubled” mouth area.
Exoderm will build collagen and improve lines and wrinkles around the mouth & chin & cheeks without injections or Botox.
_____________________________________________
Let’s look at the next celebrity Kenny Rogers
Dr. Thomas speculates that Mr. Rogers has had a brow lift and face lift. He looks very different than his younger picture. Does he look good different or bad different? That’s for you to decide.
Let’s look at an Exoderm patient who has had Exoderm for similar aging issues as Kenny Rodgers.
This patient looks younger, more refreshed and most importantly he looks natural.

Plastic Surgery Public Service Announcement – How to Avoid Botched Plastic Surgery
Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Surgeon, Ivan Thomas M.D., releases this Public Service Announcement to help Plastic Surgery Patients Avoid Botched Plastic Surgery
The Holiday Season is a time when many patients undergo Plastic Surgery procedures. The reasons are due to more time off work, kids are not in school and the household budget is coming to a close and discretionary income can be more freely spent. We want you to know of recent developments that our offices have discovered through speaking with many of our patients, their family members and of our own observations. It’s important that if you choose to have a procedure done this Holiday Season you are aware of how to choose a surgeon and what pitfalls to avoid.
“DEALERSHIP” PRICING
Time and time again you hear advertising on the radio for Tummy Tucks and Breast Augmentations for nominal fees. Fees are advertised as pricing ending in “$99” or “$95”. This type of pricing is structured to be enticing. In actuality this is the type of pricing you would find at a car dealership. When choosing medical procedures you want to look for practices that base their pricing on an individual’s needs, time in surgery, years of experience and proper qualifications.
BOTCHED PLASTIC SURGERY ON THE RISE
The rate of botched surgery is increasing each year. As cosmetic surgeries are becoming more socially acceptable, more MD’s are practicing cosmetic surgery. Inadvertently you will now find general surgeons and practitioners performing plastic surgery procedures with little or no formal training and proper certifications. You should always choose a plastic surgeon who is Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
SURGERY SHORTCUTS
Stretched Scars that will not heal from "Donut" Lift
Shortcuts may result in irreversible financial and physical losses. Be aware of shortcut procedures that are passing trends and make unrealistic promises. We have seen patients who were made unattainable promises such as: Breast Lifts with out scaring (Donut Lift, Beneli Mastopexy), non-invasive Face Lifts that take less time to perform, shorter healing time with long lasting results. Other practices will prey on overweight patients and will perform Tummy Tuck or Liposuction on a patient without having them take the proper measures for weight loss. Without the proper weight loss Liposuction and Tummy Tuck will produce less than desirable results.
“TRICK” PHOTOGRAPHY
Inconsistencies in photography on a Dr.’s website may lead many patients to believe that the work produced is accurate and esthetically pleasing. The trained eye knows what to look for.
Distance – The distance between the before and after can be farther apart tricking the eye to think the patient looks smaller. Lighting – Brighter lighting after shots can portray better results and may not show irregularities. Arms Up & Down – Patients may have their arms up for the after picture making Breast Lifts & Tummy Tucks appear better.
QUALITY, EXPERIENCE & PRICE
Dr. Thomas cares about his patients and wants you to get the best results possible for your one and only face & body. No matter the fee you can be confident that you will love your results and receive only the best of medical care from Dr. Thomas and his staff. To inquire about our newly reduced fee schedule, we urge you to contact our staff for support. If you did happen to choose another physician we hope you are 100% satisfied with your results and wish you all the best.
Beverly Hills: 310.203.8297 – Lancaster/Antelope Valley: 661.949.0404
Dr. Thomas is certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and has been performing Plastic Surgery for 28 years with a flawless history.

Going Batty over Plastic Surgery!
This Holiday if you are considering plastic surgery we want you to have the latest information available!
With so many advances in plastic surgery, it’s hard to know what’s right and what really works. It’s enough to drive a person batty!
We find that our Patients have many questions and concerns. What products are better? Which implants look and feel more natural? What is safe? The choices on the market place can be overwhelming.
We like to see our Patients get the best possible results especially when they are investing not only their financial resources but also investing physically and emotionally.
Below we have highlighted some products & procedures that produce superb results and that we see working for our patients year after year.
Latisse
For Bewitching Eyes…
Just one drop of this almost magical solution on your Lash line will grow them thicker, longer & darker in just 4 weeks. It really works! A10 minute office visit will result in a prescription that you can take home with you the same day.
Go to the Latisse website to see all the before & after photos. Watch the Brook Shields testimonial on how her lashes benefited from Latisse. You can also see how to apply Latisse. It’s so easy!
New MemoryGel(TM) Breast Implants by Mentor
Trick or Treat?
Memory Gel Breast Implant - Mentor Corp
Gummy bear implants, or MemoryGel are the newest innovation in Breast Augmentation. Mentor launched their newly FDA approved MemoryGel implants.
How they got their name: Unlike the old silicone implants these implants do not run or leak should the outer shell rupture. They stay solid, similar to the properties of a Gummy Bear.
These MemoryGel(TM) implants you’ve been reading and hearing about have been successfully used and trusted for 20 years by millions women all over the world. The implants are supposed to look and feel like natural breast tissue – without compromising reliability or safety. After almost two decades of research and testing with surgeons and patients, MemoryGel(TM) breast implants are now available to women in the U.S.
The FDA and Mentor agree that the only way for detection of Silicone implant rupture is through MRI. They suggest you get one at least by the 9th year of implantation. Mentor offers a lifetime warranty on implants as well as a 10 year $1,200 surgical replacement reimbursement.
Go to Mentor’s site and they can send you free mini samples of the MemoryGel(TM) breast implants.
NIA24
Unmask your skins pretty potential!
Nia 24 a new skin care line by Mentor not only repairs your skin form extreme sun damage but it also helps strengthen the skin to help prevent future damage. Nia 24 is the first Niacin based line of skin care products that help the skin renew at the cellular level. We have seen patients heal from a lifetime of sun worship and harsh environmental elements.
NIA24 was born from science. It was developed with funding from the National Institutes of Health and clinically researched at the University of Arizona Cancer Center. NIA24’s revolutionary, multi-patented Pro-Niacin molecule penetrates deep within the skin to repair UV-induced DNA damage, improve energy generation, normalize melanin transfer and stimulate the release of Leptin – a natural repair hormone that activates the skin’s natural wound-healing response.
In doing so, it provides a stronger skin barrier with more even tone and texture, improvement in firmness and an increased immunity to future damage.
High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck
No sexy costume is complete without a corset.
The only thing is, that you will not need one after you have Dr. Thomas’ technically advanced Tummy Tuck, the High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck.
Many patients find that after many sit ups and crunches their stomach still bulges and sags. What is one to do? The High Lateral Tummy Tuck is performed by Dr. Thomas. During the surgery Dr. Thomas not only will stitch your stomach muscles flat but he will stitch them in a criss-cross fashion. Every patient looks as if they are wearing an internal corset. For a flatter and sexier stomach that will last for years to come.

Reality TV shows like: “The Swan”, “Addicted to Beauty”, “Dr. 90210”, “I Want a Famous Face” and “Extreme Makeover” may be entertaining to watch, but portray a false image of what plastic surgery really is.
While shows like “Dr. 90210” document real life stories of patients from the consultation stage, surgery day, and post op, shows like these portray plastic surgery as a “quick fix”, when in reality, the process of plastic surgery must be careful and well thought out. Especially when it comes to choosing a plastic surgeon. Many of the surgeons on Television are not board certified plastic surgeons in Los Angeles. When choosing a plastic surgeon you want a surgeon to be board certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgeons (ABPS) and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS).
Plastic surgery can definitely enhance and refine your appearance and get rid of long lingering insecurities, but cannot be thought of as magic, as is portrayed in many reality shows today. Creating unhealthy, and unrealistic expectations of plastic surgery, patients are not grasping the idea that plastic surgery is real surgery, with real benefits, alternative results, and risks. Individual patients’ features are unique and influence the results of plastic surgery, making it impossible to achieve “Angelina Jolie’s nose” or “Scarlet Johansson’s breasts”, as many surgeons in reality TV shows promise. Patients should be wary of surgeons who claim they can make a person look like someone else. Patients must realize that surgeons are real people without magic wands, but medical training.
These TV programs are pure entertainment and when a program is about entertainment, drama and ratings, being informative and educational can be a real drag. Reality-based shows about plastic surgery have to cut out the “boring” stuff, yet it is the “boring” stuff that can be the most informative and educational with a topic like plastic surgery. While these shows can give you some insight into the rewards of plastic surgery, it is important to get the information you need from a certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Ivan Thomas. He will make sure that his patient’s expectations are realistic, that the procedures will benefit them, and that they are ready to undergo such a treatment. You can schedule a free consultation to learn about what Dr. Thomas can do to enhance and refine your appearance, while giving you the information you need to have a safe and rewarding plastic surgery experience.

Otoplasty, Botox, Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty and more great Plastic Surgery for the Face.
What are you talking about?
You may not realize it but your body can tell someone so much about you. Whether we are interested, confident, poised, healthy, strong, young or old. Sometimes many of these body signals are detected at subconscious levels.
Beyond Words
Besides observing gross body postures and movements, the eyes can detect tiny changes in the bodies of others. Research in laboratories has shown that some of these slight changes are detected at the subconscious level. Here are some of the subtle changes the subconscious can detect.
* Changes in skin tone and texture due to blood flow changes when emotions fluctuate.
* Changes in eye pupil size as interest peaks and wanes.
* Tensioning and release of tiny muscles in the face and scalp from emotional changes.
* Eye angle changes (even at a distance) as one diverts attention away or on something.
* The precision timing of eye contact indicating interest, disinterest, or intimidation.
What do my ears & nose tell others about me
An unconscious cue to recognize youth in is the size of ears compared to the size of eyes.
The ears and nose continue to grow constantly as we age but the eye size remains nearly the same throughout life.
Women throughout history have also taken advantage of this fact and made themselves look younger by using makeup to increase the apparent size of their eyes. Surgery can change the nose (Rhinoplasty) and ears (Otoplasty) to remove a decade or two.
At the right is a woman with her 95 year old ears. Compare her ear size with the much younger woman above.
Older woman who wish to appear as young as possible may want to wear their hair long to cover their ears! Men on the other hand can have otoplasty performed, which can change the projection (how far they stick out) of the ears but not the length. There are surgeries than can reduce the size of the earlobe. Dr. Thomas performs both ear projection and earlobe repair surgeries.
Wise Eyes
You heard the saying “The nose, knows”. Well what about the eyes? They can see and sense things too. Since the eyes are our most powerful body language message transmitters, here are some general rules about looking into the eyes of another person for longer periods of time.
It’s okay to stare for long period of time when you:
* Like or love a person.
* Are far apart and trying to improve communication.
* Are deeply interested in what they are saying.
* Know they are extroverted and like being close.
* Are expecting an answer or response from someone.
* Are trying to dominate and intimidate someone.
Tired Eyes
Many people suffer from tired, puffy or mad looking eyes. Tired eyes can project to others that you don’t want to be bothered or that you may be upset. Has anyone ever asked you if you were tired or mad when you weren’t? Tired looking eyes can be caused from droopy upper eyelids, large bags under the eyes, and/or hollow pockets under the eyes. Scowling or squinting brows can project the image of being frustrated or angry. All these aging eye issues can be addressed through some minimally invasive procedures that take less than one hour to perform.
Quick Cosmetic Procedures for Tired Eyes
Heavy/droopy upper eyelids -
Blepharoplasty (Average Cost of a Blepharoplasty $4,600)
Puffy under eye -
Lower Blepharoplasty (Average Cost of a Lower Blepharoplasty $4,600)

Your nose, your self image….and what can be done about it!
How do your counterparts view you? Do you come across as confident, in control and someone who is looking outward instead of inwards? The slightest bit of insecurity can come across as aloof, not trusting or disconnected. This is not the image you want to portray in the work world. It’s important to exude confidence, security and enthusiasm. How do you think it comes across to others if you are feeling self conscious about a physical attribute? This can be true about any aspect of our physical being.
We can be so critical of the image we see in the mirror. The slightest blemish, scar, or imperfect facial feature can cause us to act insecure at a very subconscious level. This can lead us to find easy-to-manage solutions that give us the desired result we’re looking for. Sometimes, the most prominent feature of the face, the nose, can also be the most mentally distracting for someone and source of serious insecurity. An asymmetrical, bulbous, large, or undesirable shaped nose can create imbalance to the face and reduced self confidence. Symmetry of all the facial features however creates the harmonic balance that allows us to feel our best.
Three ways to create a more balanced nose shape & size.
1. Makeup shading
2. Injectible filler contouring (Radiesse)
3. Rhinoplasty
1. Makeup Shading
This can be a convenient non-surgical solution for improving the appearance of your nose. Contouring with a lighter shade of foundation to highlight the wanted features and concealing the unwanted features (angles and bumps) of the nose with a darker shade of foundation before applying the final touch of mineral powder can create the appearance of dimension and depth.
Don’t overdue it!
Be sensible when contouring any feature of your face with makeup…. Daytime wear should require a more subtle blend and shades closer to your natural skin tone.
Nightime wear however, depending on the amount of light that will be reflecting on your face, may require using a heavier application of shading. Remember to blend in the lines of the makeup but don’t overdo it by blending it into the areas not needed!!
Preparation Tools needed to achieve these results are common items found in most makeup cases:
- lip brush
- wedge shaped makeup sponge
- 3 shades of foundation ( skin tone, 1-2 shades lighter and 1-2 shades darker)
- taupe brown and a lighter shade of eyeshadow can be substitued
The following url link provides resourceful instructions on how to use makeup contouring for different shaped noses: “WHAT TYPE OF NOSE DO YOU HAVE?”
2. Derma Filler Injections Nose Reshaping
For non-permanent noticeable results derma fillers such as Radiesse or Juvederm can create a smooth even contour for those with a nose that is slightly misshapen. Such as when the bone protrudes from the slope of the nose or for a nose that is slightly crooked or uneven. Derma fillers can also create more dimension and depth for someone with a flat nose. The procedure generally takes up to one hour with no downtime, can last up to one year and is much more affordable than surgical Rhinoplasty. For a long term investment, Rhinoplasty is a more permanent solution.
3. Surgical Rhinoplasty
There are misshapen noses that require corrective surgery, such as Rhinoplasty to obtain desired results. Statistics reveal according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery that in 2008 Rhinoplasty procedures were performed on 13, 852 patients ages 18 and under; 76,779 nose reshaping procedures were performed on patients ages 19-34. Although some of these surgeries are intended as a corrective solution to those patients who have suffered from breathing difficulty, it is often chosen for aesthetic purposes to create a nearly perfect nose.
Nose reshaping options are available for anyone seeking to improve their appearance. Consulting with a an American Board of Plastic Surgery, certified plastic surgeon is vital in determining the best possible short term and long term goals for your self image.
When you come across more confident you will attract the type of reactions and interactions you want from your counterparts and you will be able to focus at the job at hand and not yourself.
