Who is a Candidate for a Neck Lift Procedure?
Dr. Nichter talks about the people who may be a candidate for a neck lift in the video above. He states that candidates can range in age from their 20’s or 30’s up to their 80’s. Younger patients seeking neck improvement often times complain of fullness beneath their chin, which is an excess of fat, which can be removed with liposuction. If the skin doesn’t tighten from the liposuction procedure, Dr. Nichter may recommend using the Sciton® SkinTyte laser for additional neck contouring improvement. Patients who are older who are seeing the effects of aging in their neck, will often times require a combination of procedures to achieve optimal results. The procedures could be any one or more of the following: liposuction, platysmaplasty, neck lift,facelift, or laser tightening.
Breast Enhancement Options Following Pregnancy
Dr. Larry Nichter discusses the options available to women wanting to restore their breasts following pregnancy. In most cases, women experience a loss of volume in the upper portion of the breast along with some level of sagging. The severity of these issues will determine the recommended procedure. Options range from breast augmentation, breast lift with augmentation or a California breast lift, which is a lift in conjunction with fat transfer to the breasts.

Buttock Enhancement is the Hot New Procedure
One of the latest trends in cosmetic surgery is buttock enhancement. The curvaceous backsides of A-list celebrities like J Lo and Kim Kardashian have caused a new wave of patients requesting butt lift surgery. At Dr. Nichter’s practice, Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, women ranging in age from their 20’s to 40’s are coming to see him about enhancing their buttocks. In most cases, women in their 20’s-30’s are wanting to add volume to obtain a voluptuous derriere like their celebrity favorites. Women in their late 30’s and older are usually wanting to restore volume lost as a result of the natural aging process. In the above video Dr. Nichter talks about butt lift surgery via fat transfer (a.k.a. Brazilian Butt Lift) and implants.
What is a Mommy Makeover and Who is a Candidate?
The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures, which improve the breasts,abdomen and hips after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Dr. Nichter explains who makes an ideal candidate and how the Mommy Makeover is performed. He also mentions many women comment on how they look better after surgery than pre-pregnancy.
Why Does Fat Store in the Abdomen Area?
One of the most common complaints from women seeking liposuction or a tummy tuck is the storage of excess fat in the abdomen. In some cases even through diet and exercise there may still be some unwanted fat pockets. Dr. Nichter provides an explanation as to why fat stores in the abdomen and how a tummy tuck or liposuction can offer a solution to this common problem.
How Fat Transfer to the Face is Performed
Dr. Nichter explains how fat transfer to the face is performed. Fat transfer is a great option for those seeking a more permanent option for restoring lost volume to their face. While facial fillers are also an option, they are not long lasting like fat transfer, and they can be quite expensive if someone needs a lot of volume replacement.
