Over 13.8 million cosmetic procedures where performed last year, and we are counting down the top five cosmetic plastic surgery procedures as reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Top 5 Plastic Surgery Videos
Today’s Top 5 Plastic Surgery Video is from a recent Body Beautiful appearance on the Bay Area’s News Station KRON4. This video reveals the procedures tied for fifth place. The top four procedures will be revealed in the coming weeks.
If you have general questions about the Facelift or Tummy Tuck procedures please call (925) 943-6353. You can also schedule an in person private consultation appointment for specific recommendations to achieve your goals. The (415) number shown in this video was only for the live show, for viewers to call in with questions.
Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures
12.2 million are non-surgical procedures for Wrinkle Reduction, accounting for 89% of all cosmetic procedures. Treatments with neuromodulators (Botox and Dysport), wrinkle fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and Radiesse) and chemical peels lead the way. Laser hair removal and microdermabrasion are also included in the top 5, non-surgical numbers.
Surgical Cosmetic Procedures
1.6 million cosmetic plastic surgeries were performed in the United States last year. With the top 6 procedures accounting for 75% of total cosmetic surgeries performed, a percentage I can confirm at my San Francisco Bay Area plastic surgery practice in Walnut Creek, CA.
Facelifts (Rhytidectomy) and Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) – It’s a Tie
With 120,000 surgeries performed for each last year, the Facelift and the Tummy Tuck are tied for fifth place in our countdown of the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedures.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2011 Cosmetic Plastic Procedure Statistics are Released.
Every year the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) publish their Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Statistics. The 2011 statistics show a gradual increase in the number of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures.
Cosmetic Procedures on the Rise
Overall Americans had 13.8 million cosmetic procedures in 2011. The majority of these were minimally invasive procedures with the neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport) and dermal fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and Radiesse) accounting for the majority of treatments.

Facial Wrinkle Reduction
Prevention is the best medicine, so sun protection and moisturizers are always recommended, but once the damage is done, how can it be corrected? Facial wrinkle reduction can be actively corrected with cosmetic plastic surgery like:

Who Am I?
I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Walnut Creek, California, for 15 years. My practice includes a wide range of plastic surgery, with specialization in cosmetic plastic surgery. To learn more about my practice visit the Meet Dr. Mele page.
Why see a Plastic Surgeon for Non-Surgical Wrinkle Correction?
While I specialize in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, the development of injectable therapies has revolutionized the way I approach facial rejuvenation. Dermal Fillers and Wrinkle Relaxers are no substitute for real plastic surgery; however, they do allow for real improvement in the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, in ways that were just not possible before. The advantage of seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for your non-surgical wrinkle correction is two-fold. You get the immediate advantage of a trained plastic surgeon’s advanced knowledge of facial anatomy, and the future advantage having a trusted relationship with that plastic surgeon should longer lasting, surgical correction be desired.

In the not so distant past, wrinkles were treated with creams or plastic surgery. Now, all that has changed. The new millennium has brought a wide range of treatments that fit nicely between creams and plastic surgery. They offer better, stronger, faster correction than creams, with quicker recovery and lower cost than the gold standard — plastic surgery.
Wrinkle Fillers
Products like Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and Radiesse allow for quick correction of moderate wrinkles with minimal downtime. They are all dermal fillers, and as the name implies, they are used to fill in unwanted wrinkles and folds. The correction can be increased with increased volume, and the downtime is about 24 hours of mild redness and sometimes longer for resolution of the occasional bruise. The improvement is immediate, and continues to improve for the first month. They can be used anywhere on the face. Since fillers do not inhibit muscle motion, they excel in the correction of lines around the mouth and in the lower face.
Neuromodulators
Products like BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport and Xeomin are neuromodulators. They relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, like the frown lines found between the eyebrows. These take a few days to relax the muscle, and gradual improvement is seen as the skin is no longer folding from the muscle motion. Since neuromodulators reduce, or even stop, muscle motion, they are used mostly in the upper face. Use around the mouth needs to minimal and requires advanced techniques and good judgement.

Like most Plastic Surgeons, I like to operate. Plastic Surgery is a versatile tool. It can restore function after injury or disease, and it can improve form for even the normal body. But just because I have a hammer, I don’t think the whole world is a nail.
Plastic surgery is extremely personal, and I depend on you to help me know what the best course of treatment will be. Sometimes plastic surgery is the best answer, and sometimes less is more appropriate.
Many plastic surgeons use Botox and Restylane in their practices. While non-surgical, these products are complementary to what we Plastic Surgeons do. For example:
Forehead Wrinkles and Frown Lines
Relaxing the frown lines and forehead wrinkles has always been a part of the Brow Lift procedure. If you have droopy eyebrows that are pushing skin onto your upper eyelids, deep wrinkles running across your forehead, or vertical lines between the eyebrows that make you look angry (frown lines), a brown lift might be for you. On the other hand, if you have the frown lines the forehead wrinkles, but the eyebrows and eyelids are fine, Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, may provide you with an equally attractive result.
Lower Face Wrinkles
Lower facial wrinkles include the Naso-Labial Folds (NLF’s), Marionette Lines (ML’s), lip lines and other wrinkles found on the lower face. These areas can be treated with a Facelift, when coexisting with lower facial skin laxity, but when found in isolation, a face lift is more than what is needed. Dermal fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and Radiesse can pinpoint the treatment to exactly where it is needed, without the downtime associated with surgery.
Naso-Labial Folds (NLF’s)
The Naso-Labial Folds are the lines that extend from the sides of the nose down to the lips. They are the result of muscle attachments to the skin, and are deepened when we smile. The more firmly the muscle is attached, the deeper the resulting fold. Filling the NLF’s with Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane or Radiesse can reduce the appearance of folds without affecting the ability to smile. Unlike botox, dermal fillers do not inhibit motion.
Marionette Lines (ML’s)
The Marionette Lines are a continuation of the NLF’s, extending from the corners of the mouth down to the jaw line. These too are reinforced when we talk and smile broadly. Like the Naso-Labial Folds, the Marionette Lines respond well to fillers. The ML’s often require more volume than the NLF’s for what would seem to be wrinkles of similar depth.
Lip Lines
Lip lines are the fine lines that radiate out from the lips. Often referred to as Smoker’s Lines, the lines are formed when we pucker our lips. Lip lines allow lipstick to bleed, and can make maintaining a clean line at the edge of the lip difficult. By carefully filling in the edge of the lip, a smoothed contour can be formed, and less lipstick bleed occurs. This can be done with or without Lip Augmentation, or purposefully adding volume to the lips.
Facial Wrinkle Correction Before and After Photos
This segment focusses on dermal fillers, and shows numerous before and after pictures illustrating the areas more commonly treated with fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and Radiesse. Wrinkle relaxers, like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin can complement results in facial wrinkle reduction, but were not used for the areas shown in these before and after pictures.

Wrinkle correction used to mean either small improvements with creams or major improvements with surgery. The ground betwen is now covered with the introduction of wrinkle fillers, like Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and Radiesse, and wrinkle relaxers, like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin.
San Francisco Bay Area – Leaders in Wrinkle Reduction
San Francisco Bay Area Plastic Surgery patients have always been at the forefront of facial wrinkle correction with fillers. It began in the 70′s with the local development of Collagen, and carries on today with its replacement, hyaluronic acid or HA.
Like collagen, HA is a normal component of the skin, and is also found in our joints. HA dermal fillers are sold under many brands names, with the most popular being Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane. These clear gels allow for the correction of moderate to deep facial rhytids (lines) with minimal down time and quick improvement.
Wrinkle Relaxers – Botox, Dysport & Xeomin
Botulinum toxins have been used for years for the treatment of blepharospasm, a disabling chronic spasm of the muscles around the eyes causing functional blindness. For many years it was the plastic surgeons “secret” weapon, and used off-label, but a few years ago Allergan received approval for a new indication – the cosmetic treatment of frown lines. BOTOX Cosmetic was born. Others have followed with similar approval and results including Dysport and Xeomin.

Silicone is used in many beauty aids. While most people equate silicone with breast implants, there is much more to how silicone is used. From contact lenses to shampoo (dimethicone) silicone is around us every day. Silicone drainage tubes can be life saving after brain injuries to prevent fluid on the brain and death. Silicone implants are used throughout the body to improve both form and function. Most silicone implants are solid. Injection of free silicone is different than using silicone implants. Free silicone injections are liquid, and unlike with breast implants, the liquid is not contained.
Q: Is Silicone a Liquid or a Solid? A: Yes
Silicone is extremely flexible in its use. At body temperature, silicone can be made with a wide range viscosities: liquid like water, cohesive like honey, soft solid like Jello, more firm like rubber or hard like a rock. The fact that silicone is extremely well tolerated by the human body, makes it an excellent substance for implantation; however, only silicone meant for medical use should be used, and only by a qualified professional should be consulted.
How is Silicone Used
As a Board Certified San Francisco Bay Area Plastic Surgeon, I use silicone implants every day in my Walnut Creek Plastic Surgery practice. In California, silicone implants are used to augment the breast, cheeks, chin, nose and many other areas.
Silicone Facial implants are made of a soft solid silicone. Since they are solid, they cannot leak. They are used routinely for Cheek Augmentation, Chin Augmentation and Nose Augmentation. Since silicone facial implants are used to augment boney prominences, the fact that they are firm is an advantage. They can be molded into specialized shapes and sizes, depending on the amount and location of augmentation desired. The smooth surface does not adhere to normal tissue, so it needs to be meticulously placed. The smooth surface also allows for easy removal, should removal ever become necessary. Solid silicone facial implants are firm but flexible. For larger augmentations, silicone facial implants may not be firm enough.
An example: for small to moderate chin augmentation, silicone chin implants work great. For larger chin augmentations, I prefer Medpore®, which is made from porous high-density polyethylene. It is much firmer, and since it is porous, it allows in-growth. In-growth can help stabilize the Medpore® chin implant, and further decrease the already small risk of infection. These are decisions best made during your presonal consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. This allows an open, honest discussion of the pros and cons of each option with a trained expert who has the experience to back-up your specific surgery.
Silicone Breast Implants
All breast implants have a silicone shell, even saline filled breast implants. When we say silicone breast implants we are talking about what is inside. Silicone breast implants have a solid outer shell, and a center filled with a cohesive silicone gel. Some older silicone breast implants were filled with a thin liquid, which would migrate if the shell ever broke. Currently, the cohesiveness varies from a very thick gel that likes to stay together (Allergan Natrelle® and Mentor Memory Gel® breast implants – currently available) to a solid with the consistency of Jello® (Gummy bear, Allergan Natrelle 410′s and Mentor Cohesive III Implants – Not yet FDA approved). These gummy bear implants can be made with various asymmetrical shapes, because they are thick enough to retain their shape.
Free Silicone Injections – Buyer Beware
The San Francisco Bay Area is a great place to be a plastic surgeon. We have an educated population that is interested and aware of many of the latest options in plastic surgery. Unfortunately, new doesn’t mean better, and sometimes new isn’t even new. Silicone injections are a great example. Even San Francisco plastic surgeons are still looking for the perfect injectable to fill wrinkles and augment the face without surgery. A well tolerated, stable substance, free from allergy, that will last a hundred years and remain soft remains elusive. There was a time when silicone was felt to be that substance.
Silicone is well tolerated, and can be made thick enough to prevent migration. The augmentation obtained is better than Restylane®, Juvederm®, Perlane®, Radiesse® or any other available dermal filler. It can remain soft for many years. Unfortunately, the body will form scar around free silicone, and this scar can continue to develop over years into a hard disfiguring mass.
Free Silicone in the Lips
Silicone has been used for lips. Initial results are great; however, the long term results are not predictable. Lisa Rinna, famous for her silicone augmented lips, recently had to have surgery to excise the silicone from her lips.
Free Silicone in the Buttocks
Silicone has been used for buttock augmentation. At first it looks great, but with time, it becomes hard and can cause visual disfigurement. Since medical grade silicone is not available in the United Stated, reports surface every year of an unqualified injector offering cheap buttock enhancement using silicone purchased at the local hardware store.
Free Silicone for Breast Augmentation
Free silicone was used for breast augmentation, as was fat injection, until they were replaced by a much more effective and safer alternative – breast implants. Breast implants use a solid silicone shell to contain the silicone inside. A thicker, more cohesive gel is used inside to help prevent migration, but even this should be removed if the implant breaks. Since the center is highly cohesive, it acts as a unit rather than a liquid, so it can be hard to tell if a silicone filled breast implant has leaked. This is why the FDA recommends women who have silicone gel breast implants obtain an MRI at three years and then every two years after having breast augmentation surgery.
“New” Silicone Injections
Research is on-going to find the perfect formulation for silicone injections. The latest attempts are looking into silicone with increased viscosity to help prevent migration and reduce the scar reaction. Since it often takes years for the scar around free silicone to develop into a noticeable mass, the results are still pending. One problem is that the thicker gel is much more difficult to inject without resorting to something like a caulking gun. Until the known problems are solved, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the FDA do not approve of the use of silicone injections outside of clinical trials.
Allergan, the manufacture of Juvéderm XC and Vivité, is giving away a free Vivite Defining Lip Plumper to patients receiving a Juvederm XC injectable filler treatment.
Juvederm is now available as Juvederm XC with Lidocaine added for comfort. All qualifying patients receiving Juvederm between now and September 30, 2010, are eligible to receive a free Vivite Defining Lip Plumper (a $45 value).
If you are not familiar with Juvederm, it is an HA filler similar to Restylane and Perlane. This year, all three were reformulated with Lidocaine (a local anesthetic). This significantly decreases injection site discomfort compared to the HA products without Lidocaine. HA is a filler used to attenuate the appearance of moderate to deep facial wrinkles. The most frequently treated areas are the nasolabial and marionette lines, which can give the appearance of parenthesis around the mouth. (Thus the clever logo at the top of this article.) Juvederm is also used for lip augmentation, to add volume to lips.
If you have wanted to try Juvederm, or you are ready for a refresher, now is a great time to schedule a consultation appointment. Just give us a call at (925) 943-6353. Juvederm treatments must be completed by September 30, 2010 to qualify for the Vivite Defining Lip Plumper give away.
The name for the facelift procedure, or rhytidectomy, comes from the Latin word rhytid meaning wrinkle. Rhytidectomy literally means wrinkle removal. While Board Certified Plastic Surgeons remove wrinkles from all over the body, in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, the term rhytidectomy is used almost exclusively to describe the surgical procedure that removes wrinkles from the face.
While the facelift is the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, there are many options to consider. This video segment, taken from my appearance on KRON4′s Body Beautiful, discusses the changes that occur in the face as we age. It reviews treatments like botulinum toxin (BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport) and fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm), mini-facelifts and the facelift. San Francisco Bay Area residents were able to call in with their questions and have them answered live on the air.
The 800 number in the video below was only used for viewer questions during the live broadcast. If you have questions, or would like to schedule a consultation appointment, please call my Walnut Creek Plastic Surgery office at (925) 943-6353.
