Meet Dr. Justin Heller … Heller Plastic Surgery

Q: For some time now, I haven’t felt as confident as I once did, but I’m sick of the self-doubt.  I’ve been contemplating a cosmetic procedure for a while now.  Can plastic surgery really boost my confidence in a lasting way?
A:  When women and men come to me, they are usually looking to make a change that will help them reclaim some confidence.  Though some people argue that my patients shouldn’t need cosmetic surgery to feel confident, I see it a different way.  People don’t come to my office looking to replace natural inner confidence with plastic surgery; they come to me to find even more ways to love themselves.  Many times, patients have worked incredibly hard to see physical results, and they are happier and more confident than ever before.  But now they’ve gone as far as they can alone, and it’s time for some surgical finishing touches.  I love my job because, often, I get to act as the icing on the cake by allowing their progress to shine even brighter.  In my experience, finding that extra way to love yourself and appreciate your beauty only causes that confidence cup to overflow a little more.
For example, having children is more than a life-changing experience; it is a body-changing milestone that will inevitably alter a woman’s silhouette for the rest of her life.  Some women experience more changes than others, and many women want to do something about it but are hesitant.  They either believe they don’t deserve to put themselves first, or they convince themselves their image isn’t important.  And it may not be – but confidence is.
“In the past three years, I had two beautiful babies by c-section and gained and lost up to 70 pounds with each.  No amount of exercise or working out was going to get me back to my old body,” shared Regina, a satisfied Heller Plastic Surgery patient.  “Dr. Heller created a body for me that was better than before and better than I even imagined.  My confidence has literally sky-rocketed!”

Meet Dr. Hu  …  Valencia Plastic Surgery

Q: What procedures will provide the biggest confidence boost?

A: Defined as a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities, confidence can be a tricky skill to master.  An ability that comes natural to some can be a hard task for others to tackle.  At Valencia Plastic Surgery, we are in the business of building confidence so you can face the world – confident, happy and youthful!
Body contouring is a precise and relatively quick way to help get your shape back.  As we age, different “problem areas” arise for men and women.  Many women find after having children, or losing a significant amount of weight, that certain areas of the body don’t really recover.  Body contouring can refer to any one of a number of procedures that help enhance the shape of your body. These procedures can make you look toned and more proportionate. Areas that are ideal for body contouring include the breasts, abdomen, back, upper arms, hips, buttocks, and thighs.  People choose body contouring for the numerous benefits they can achieve, such as a reduction in sagging skin, the elimination of fatty deposits and to achieve a more pleasing body proportion or a slimmer, more toned physique.
Liposuction has long been hailed as an ideal way to reduce fatty deposits in certain areas of the body. SmartLipo® is an advanced procedure that results in fewer side effects and more dramatic results, while still remaining minimally invasive.  Cellulaze™ is a procedure that stimulates the production of collagen and increases the strength and thickness of your skin. It is a minimally invasive way to improve the look and feel of your body by reducing the appearance of cellulite, or fatty deposits beneath the skin’s surface.  These are just two of the options we have at Valencia Plastic Surgery for creating confidence.  Give us a call today to learn even more.
