Over the years, Dr. Simopoulos has worked with a variety of patients from all across the globe. Throughout his career, Simopoulos has seen the rise and fall of many popular trends in cosmetic surgery. In this blog, Dr. Alexander Simopoulos looks into the year ahead predicting the newest trends for 2016. Listed below are some cosmetic surgery procedures to look out for in the new year.

Butt Augmentation

For the past few years, the popularity of shaping the buttocks has continued to rise. Butt augmentation is clearly a trend that is here to stay. However, many boards certified doctors including Dr. Alexander Simopoulos have noticed that the popular types and styles of butt augmentation have changed. These days, doctors have noticed that while patients are still very interested in the butt augmentation procedure, they are going for a more conservative and natural look. They want a certain firmness and shape, but they are not looking to make drastic changes to the size of their buttocks.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

Minimally invasive cosmetic surgery techniques are becoming more and more common. Depending on what a patient is looking for, these techniques can provide a patient with the look they desire without having to make major incisions. This leads to less scarring, less pain, a quicker recovery time, reduced costs and an overall higher satisfaction rate for patients. Look for new technologies and more common minimally invasive procedures in the years to come.

Male Cosmetic Surgery

This past year, more men have sought out plastic surgery than ever before. With the continuing pressure to look young in business, relationships, and other areas of life, more and more men have reached out to plastic surgeons to enhance certain physical features. The two most common body parts men look to enhance are their chest and their eyelids.

These are just a few of the major cosmetic surgery trends that are sure to rise in the upcoming year of 2016. For more information about the above procedures or other cosmetic procedures, contact Dr. Alexander Simopoulos today and set up a consultation.

Everything You Want to Know About Brazilian Butt Lift

One of the most popular procedures among Dr. Alexander Simopoulos’s patients is Brazilian Butt Augmentation, more commonly known as Brazilian Butt Lift. Dr. Simopoulos has been successfully performing this procedure for years with excellent results in his Los Angeles offices.

What is Brazilian Butt Lift?

Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure that increases firmness and roundness, and improves the contours of the buttocks. During the procedure, Dr. Simopoulos transfers unwanted fat from other parts of the body (such as the hips, thighs, abdomen, or arms) to the buttocks to give them a full, rounded, and lifted look.

Is Brazilian Butt Augmentation right for me?

Dr. Simopoulos’s patients love the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure because it brings balance to their bodies and gives them a greater sense of self-confidence.

If you are unhappy with the current shape, size, or firmness of your buttocks, you may be an excellent candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift.

To qualify, you’ll need to:

• be physically healthy
• have firm, elastic skin
• set realistic and achievable goals for yourself

How does the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure work?

The Brazilian Butt Lift is typically an outpatient procedure. It can last from 90 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the scope of the procedure. To begin the procedure, an anesthetic solution called tumescent fluid is injected into the body to numb the area, control bleeding, and more easily remove unwanted fat. The collected fat is then washed in a double antibiotic solution. The fat is then injected into the buttocks to create a full and lifted Brazilian butt look.

How long does it take to recover?

Everybody heals differently, so it’s important to plan for plenty of rest and recovery time. Soreness, swelling, and bruising is normal, and pain relievers may be used to ease recovery.

Patients are typically up and walking within a day of the procedure, but it’s important to stay off of the buttocks for the first two weeks of recovery, as the tissue needs time to heal and revascularize.

How do I get started?

To learn more about Brazilian Butt Augmentation, you can begin by setting up a initial consultation with the doctor. Dr. Simopoulos will explain how the procedure works, answer your questions, and explain what you will need to do to prepare.
