Discover Scarless Skin Tightening – a Game Changer for Your Results

By Arian Mowlavi

Scarless skin tightening is a game-changer in today’s high definition body contouring arena. This is because a large subset of the population want to avoid more invasive excisional surgeries. Excisional surgeries require deeper sedation such as general anesthesia. General anesthesia requires more rigorous preoperative precautions such as blood tests and evaluation by your primary care physician to get surgical clearance. General anesthesia requires administration of inhalation anesthetics delivered through a tube that is associated with postoperative grogginess and several days of recovery.

Finally, excisional surgeries, are associated with longer incision lines that require prolonged recovery and potential for visual scarring. These side effects of more invasive surgeries deter three subsets of patients that include the older community that wants to avoid general anesthesia and more arduous recovery.

The next patient population includes younger patients who do not wish to have the stigma of a surgical incision line or cannot take time off of work. The final population involves the gentlemen who are more reserved and don’t want to share with others that have undergone cosmetic surgery and may not have the luxury to take off from work for a prolonged recovery period.

Brazilian butt lift for men

Male Brazilian Butt Lift – The Male BBL

By Arian Mowlavi

A Brazilian Butt Lift for men is quite different than a female Brazilian Butt Lift. This results from the inherent aesthetic and anatomical differences between the male and female buttocks. Generally speaking, the female butt is more fluffy and full overall. During a female Brazilian Butt Lift, we fill the lateral buttocks along the upper, middle, and lower regions. We may even fill the lateral hips. The goal is to round out the female buttocks. In contrast, male butts are more square in shape. During a male Brazilian Butt Lift (male BBL), we fill only the upper lateral gluteus medius muscle and sometimes the lower lateral subcutaneous region to square off that region of the buttocks. In a male, we avoid the injection of fat into the lateral dimple in order to maintain a more muscular and masculine shape.

Another key difference in the male BBL is is the addition of fat to the central buttocks. In females, we add fat to the central buttocks because this action increases projection—the desired outcome. In males, we do not because increased projection is not aesthetically appealing.
