Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck

Beverly Hills tummy tuck specialist Ivan Thomas, M.D., is a Beverly Hills board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has been seen on a Women’s Health Special on ABC Channel 7, and a Mommy Makeover special on KCAL 9 and has been featured in newspapers and magazines across Los Angeles county.

Known for his High Lateral Tension Tummy, an advanced technique of Tummy Tuck, Dr. Thomas explains to viewers Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty as the procedure is known to surgeons.

One of the most frequently performed surgical procedures, next to breast augmentation and breast implants, a tummy tuck is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your body in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles area.

Tummy Tucks are for men and woman patients with bulging stomach muscles and loose overhanging skin. We find more and more men wanting tummy tucks turn to Dr. Ivan Thomas.

Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Procedures

The high lateral tension Tummy Tuck does not only suture the muscles vertically it also addresses laxity in the muscles horizontally. Dr. Thomas also removes the extra skin in a tummy tuck. Dr. Thomas also uses liposuction to sculpture the abdominal area. The Tummy Tuck Scar is can be hidden in the bikini line where any garment or a bathing suit covers it. The liposuction scars are not visible because the instrument used to suction out the fat is very small.

When is a tummy tuck right for you:

If you do not plan on having any more children.
If you have undergone gastric by-pass or Lap Band surgery and you have loose and overhanging skin and bulging stomach muscles.
If you do not have intro abdominal fat (fat inside and around the organs). Tummy Tuck is not a form of weight of loss. Tummy Tuck is effective for patients who have lost the internal weight and are looking to improve upon their outer layers like skin and muscles.

Liposuction of the inner/outer thighs, flanks, and hips in conjunction with the tummy tuck, will add pleasing contours to your body and will compliment the Tummy Tuck procedure.

Complimentary Consultations

Consultations are complimentary with Dr. Ivan Thomas. You can call to schedule a consultation or email the Doctor to discuss the procedure you always wanted.

Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck – Celebrity Belly Button

Celebrity Belly Button – Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck

When you think of big Hollywood stars like Brittany Spears, Beyonce Knowles, Shikira and all their the fabulously flat tummy’s in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles & Hollywood. One question comes to mind… How did they get such flat tight tummy’s with such cute Belly Buttons?

Most belly buttons are hidden underneath a layer of fat and loose skin. Especially after extreme weight gain and loss and or childbirth. On the other hand some people never had a flat tight Tummy ever since childhood. Genetics plays a huge roll in the making of a Belly Button. Dr. Thomas can defy the gene pool with one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. The Tummy Tuck.

At Dr. Ivan Thomas’ practice everyone who has received his advanced Tummy Tuck called the High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck, where stomach muscles are stitched together in an advance criss-cross vector, gets not only a flat tight tummy but they also receive that sought after celebrity Belly Button.

How does Dr. Thomas achieve this for his patients? During the Tummy Tuck operation Dr. Thomas will make an incision from hip bone to hip bone, similar to a C-section incision but a bit longer. The incision is longer because the loose skin must be traced to where it begins. The loose skin must be lifted away from the body. When the skin is lifted the old umbilicus (belly button) opening must be cut away from the umbilicus, so that the muscles can be sutured together in a flat manner. Then the loose skin must be pulled down in a conservative manner. This is why Dr. Thomas’ Tummy Tucks always look so natural and heal so nicely. Once the skin is pulled down the old fatty, loose, belly button opening is pulled down below the pubis, giving Dr. Thomas a newly smooth and tight skin surface to work with. A new belly button hole is then made in the newly pulled down skin and re-attached to the old umbilicus at it’s normal level.

The newly tightened and flattened tummy is a result of Dr. Thomas’ 28 years of experience in combination with his highly advanced Tummy Tuck technique. Patients love their new Beverly Hills Belly Buttons & Beverly Hills Tummy Tucks and can now wear the bikinis the midriffs and enjoy their results for years to come.

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.

Beverly Hills Breast Implant Specialist, Ivan Thomas Discusses the effects of Breast Feeding

Whether you are a mom to be, or have just given birth, be confident that Dr. Thomas has a solution for your Breasts!

Being a mommy and looking your best can often be challenging and conflicting. However, with today’s advanced techniques in plastic surgery, mothers in Los Angeles and around the country are saying “yes!” to breast augmentation.

Breast Augmentation can boost your self-esteem and make you feel confident, but what happens when the baby arrives? Breast feeding with implants is one of the common concerns among women considering breast enlargement and future breast feeding. The good news is breast implants do not interfere with your ability to breast feed. How the breast implant surgery is performed, however, makes a difference. The use of saline filled or silicone implants is a personal choice, each having their own advantages and disadvantages. Dr. Thomas practices the periareolar submuscular technique which results in more natural breasts, both in feel and shape. In addition, the periareolar incision is placed under the breast line and allows maximum accuracy for the placement of the implants compared to other approaches, thus creating the best possible shape with scars that are rarely visible.

For those mothers who are past the breast feeding stage, and are looking for a “boost”, we’ve got a solution for you too!

The months of nursing after childbirth change the shape and look of the breasts. For many mothers this can be quite disconcerting. Breast augmentation is one solution that can take you back to your Pre-mommy body, and give a new sense of confidence to a mother whose life has completely changed over the course of a few years.

Dr. Thomas performs a unique breast lifting procedure, Internal Mastopexy, otherwise known as the “Invisible Breast Lift”, which is performed during breast implantation. This procedure is ideal for women with mild to moderate sagging, and prevents additional scarring. Mastopexy, on the other hand, is an operation that removes the excess skin and lifts the breasts and the nipples to their normal, youthful position. This procedure is not meant to enlarge the breasts, but rather lift and restore them to their original position. Trimming and tailoring the overstretched skin to fit snugly around the existing breast can have dramatic results, with all suturing is performed beneath the skin- requiring no stitches to be removed. If you are interested in seeing what you are candidate for please call 310.203.8297 for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Thomas.

“Reality” TV vs. Reality

Posted on September 21, 2009 by admin

dr90210_dvdflat 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.

Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ivan Thomas Repairs Gauged Earlobe

When you are young it may seem like a good idea to place an extremely large earring in your ear. However, as you get older, or if you are trying to look for employment, a person may grow tired of the extremely large hole in their ear. It may be difficult to find a skilled surgeon, who may or may not be able to repair the damage of stretched earlobe piercing.

This much is true for Patient Eric Anderson. Who in his teenage years began Gauge piercing his ears. Now that he is 32 years old he wants to become an EMT and his possible employers have told him because of safety reasons he cannot pursue his new found career goals. After searching for the right person to repair his ears he realizes that it is not an “easy” fix.

Eric came to Dr. Thomas with over 1” openings in his ear lobes.

Patient had Gauged Piercing Repaired

His ornate collection of Gauge earrings range from bamboo discs to flashy rhinestone hoops. Eric say’s “it was a conscious decision” when he began the Gauging process. Now he wants to have his earlobes repaired from the years of stretching and he knows that it will take a skilled plastic surgeon to complete the procedure. This type of repair is so new that there is not even a term in Plastic Surgery for it.

This story has grabbed the attention of the media. In fact that story was featured on ABC’s Channel 7, Los Angeles with Medical Reporter, Denise Dador, on August 18th 2009. Eric’s case is quite unique in that the ear tissue has been pulled and stretched so much, that not much of the normal ear tissue is intact. Watch the story on ABC.

Dr. Thomas had to use his T-incision advanced technique to repair the earlobe. A procedure of this nature will have to be performed under anesthesia and the procedures can take up to 5 hours. The cost to repair an earlobe of this nature can run anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 per ear.

Eric’s Update:

Eric’s surgery was completed successfully and he is recovery right now. The stitches have been removed however it will be few months before we will see the brilliant results of his earlobe repair.

Stay tuned for more photos on Eric Anderson’s Earlobe Repair.

Expert in the industry also know that the only way to repair a Gauge hole is by Plastic Surgery. Watch this video in which it is described.
