When it comes to surgical expertise, it is tough to top the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons. For more than 25 years, the AACS has certified top surgeons nationwide. It is no surprise that their medical journal, Surge, highlights only the best in the field of plastic surgery. It is also probably no surprise that Dr. Kevin Sadati of Orange County’s Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery is prominently featured in this month’s issue.

It is well known among the cosmetic community that art imitates life and to make someone beautiful, a certain degree of artistic knowledge is necessary. In the article titled, “A Stroke of Genius: Where Fine Art Meets Cosmetic Surgery" writer Larry Guthrie explores the unique relationship between art and the practice of plastic surgery. From a patient standpoint, the closer to art the surgeon is, the better the result will be. Artists tend to see things as their symmetries relate to each other, and that is an important concept to achieve overall balance. “When you speak of the face as a work of art or canvas, it helps the patient understand the entirety of their beauty," Sadati states in the article. It is precisely this holistic approach to his surgery that endears Dr. Sadati to his patients.

In and of itself, medicine is a stressful occupation. The stakes for surgeon’s and especially cosmetic physicians spikes on the stress scale. While Orange County cosmetic surgeons are highly trained and are experts in their specialties, they realize they are responsible for a patient’s permanent appearance. That fact coupled with the inherent stressors of the procedure can take a toll on the physician. As a form of decompression, Sadati leans on self expression because “art helps soften the science," he says. The last thing a patient needs is a surgeon who is wound a little too tight.

The practice of art yields benefits beyond relaxation. By continuing to perfect artistic ability, the doctor constantly hones his ability to recognize asymmetries that measure in the millimeters. That kind of attention to detail is what separates a good surgeon from the best surgeons. Aesthetics entails visualizations and consideration in all three dimensions and small changes in one area can result in large changes in a patient’s overall appearance. In-depth knowledge of the inter-related nature of aesthetical construction is absolutely required for high performing plastic surgeons. Art exemplifies the nature of beauty through balance. If you have ever looked a picture and thought that something was off, you were probably right. We are programmed to look for balance and if something throws it off, even by a miniscule amount, we perceive it as flawed. Concerning people, these flaws are a part of life that the cosmetic surgeon strives to correct either through reconstruction or purely aesthetic procedures. In these cases, the more artistic background the surgeon has the higher degree of positive perception by others.

The real challenge for top surgeons such as Sadati is the fusion between aesthetics and functionality. Altering anatomical parts that are functioning normally is a tricky proposition. Altering a body part it so that it is more beautiful while still performing its inherent functions is exponentially difficult. This where the three dimensional visualization, something learned through the study of art, helps plastic surgeon’s like Dr. Sadati provide a higher level of care; a level of care worthy of mention in a highly respected medical journal.

Can following a rheumatoid arthritis diet really help relieve rheumatoid arthritis pain? Author Michael Massie believes so, which is why he wrote The Amazing Rheumatoid Arthritis Diet book.

"Before I went on a rheumatoid arthritis diet a few years ago, I was virtually crippled," says Massie. "At one point my pain was so bad I had difficulty walking from my bedroom to my living room. It was a nightmare, and I couldn't imagine living the rest of my life experiencing that kind of pain and agony each day."

That's when Michael decided to put his education and background in the health sciences to use in researching alternative treatments for rheumatoid arthritis pain. "I quickly found that there's a lot of quackery out there with regards to managing and treating rheumatoid arthritis pain naturally. However, I also discovered information on a few relatively unknown studies that showed promising results for managing RA pain using dietary modifications."

After reviewing the results of these studies, Michael began researching the topic in earnest and started on a special diet for rheumatoid arthritis. "I started with a fast and began eliminating the foods that are most commonly suspected of causing flare-ups. The results were incredible; I noticed a significant reduction in pain and inflammation within just a few days."

However, Michael likes to emphasize that following a rheumatoid arthritis diet is not a cure for RA. "There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. However, following a diet for rheumatoid arthritis can be very beneficial in helping RA sufferers with managing their rheumatoid arthritis pain." Three years after he adopted a special diet for arthritis, Michael claims he is about ninety percent pain-free. He shares his entire program in his recently released Kindle ebook, The Amazing Rheumatoid Arthritis Diet.

Approximately one percent of the population has rheumatoid arthritis. While not every person with the disease will develop the most debilitating form of RA, early intervention is critical for avoiding permanent disability and disfigurement of the extremities. Many experts on autoimmune disease believe that dietary modifications combined with modern medical interventions offers the best chances for success in treating this disease.

Premier Orange County plastic surgeon Dr. Ali Tehrani has been busy, even in these tough times. His two practices, Montage in Orange County and High Desert Plastic Surgery in affluent Apple Valley, have seen an uptick in elective procedures. In fact, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2010 Fact Sheet breast augmentation was the number one procedure with nearly 300,000 performed nationwide. That number represents a two percent increase over procedures done in 2009. And, when it comes to breast augmentation Dr. Tehrani is second to none; his technique is designed specifically to maximize results with the needs of the modern women in mind.

His unique expertise springs from his depth of education and visualization from an artist’s perspective. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there are criteria within the medical community that define beauty and symmetry; and, they are usually measured in millimeters. Plastic surgeons must see what most people would miss. In effect, the procedure must be precise enough to please not only the eye, but the subconscious. Even if a procedure is performed well, if it is not done with precision the unconscious observation will sense an imbalance. It is that level of detail that professionals must achieve. It is this level of expertise that many pursue but only few, such as Dr. Tehrani reach. In fact, he was granted top honors, receiving the H. Jeffery Torrigian Award for leadership in the field of surgery at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine as well as the illustrious Harry Elfonte, M.D. Award for exemplary patient care by Frankford Health Systems/Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. His accolades do not end with high distinctions at top-tier hospitals or major universities. He has been prominently featured in local society magazines such as HD Living and OC Health. These media profiles are driven largely by the success he has had in serving his many patients. Any service provider will tell you that referrals are the lifeblood of a business. Nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of high-end cosmetic surgery. Satisfied patients not only return to Dr. Tehrani’s offices again and again; but, they refer their friends, colleagues, and even family members for elective and reconstructive procedures.

While it is certainly impressive that Montage and High Desert Plastic Surgery cater to the specific needs of breast augmentation these practices offer much more than that. Surgeons generally do not open two Southern California offices and win multiple awards by putting all of their eggs in one basket. Plastic and reconstructive surgeries involve a myriad of body contouring and corrective procedures including liposuction, gynecomastia, face lifts, rhinoplasty, and tummy tucks. Very often these procedures are performed with quality of life issues in mind. While self-esteem is a central part of the human condition, medically necessary reconstruction also plays a part. While most people may think of celebrity A-list actresses when speaking of breast augmentation, it can also mean a new life for a cancer survivor. A rhinoplasty is more than a nose job when it helps someone breathe after a trauma. Reconstructive surgery helps millions of disfigured victims live a more normal life and the staff at Orange County’s OCslimDR and High Desert Plastic Surgery are experts at what they do.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Sadati has been busy, even in these challenging economic times. His headquarters in the prestigious Fashion Island District in Orange County is growing beyond its boundaries as he looks to expand into adjacent Los Angeles County. A two time (2010 and 2011) recipient of the Real Self Top Doctor Award, his service area has increased exponentially to include Beverly Hills, Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Santa Monica. The diversity of clientele is a primary driver for his clinical expansion.

According to his website, "We have a very diverse clientele that includes men and women from nearby towns and patients from other parts of the country that travel to Newport Beach for our services. We pride ourselves in striving to provide the best possible treatment for every patient and will spend the time needed to make sure we clearly understand your desires to ensure you are satisfied with the results." How can a surgeon expand his or her service area without renovating expensive local buildings and clinics? Cutting edge service is the answer: "Our facilities in Newport Beach provide the most modern equipment available that allows us to handle any cosmetic concern you may have.

We also employ the latest techniques for addressing your cosmetic needs and can help with any concerns you may have. Dr. Sadati has been a leader in the field of cosmetic surgery for many years and is responsible for some of the most modern techniques that are now used by other doctors all over the country. Many of the procedures first pioneered by Dr. Sadati are now standard procedures for addressing cosmetic concerns for patients worldwide."

Branching out into an expanded service area is the best way to reach his customers along the L.A. County coastal region and the data shows that demand for plastic surgeries is on the rise. In fact, a survey released in April of last year shows that interest in cosmetic procedures has been increasing. According to the survey done by Real Self, nearly seventy percent of respondents would opt for cosmetic work if money were not an issue. Thirty percent would actually opt for a surgically invasive procedure. This is a bit shocking because it illustrates increasing demand among Baby Boomers for a drastic physical change to counteract the effects of aging. Some of the highest rated procedures in the survey are the very same services that are part of the Gallery's Los Angeles target market: the Mommy Makeover, The Tummy Tuck, Facelift, and Breast Augmentation.

The Gallery's website sums up the doctor's qualifications nicely: "Because of his creative approach to many cosmetic procedures, he has been involved in creating and certifying new techniques for cosmetic surgery. In many cases this has led to clinical trials of these procedures and later adoption by other surgeons." Increasing the provider area will bring Sadati's technique to more patients and meet the rising demand patients have for quality cosmetic or functional health care.

L.A. Beach Communities present an exciting opportunity for Dr. Sadati and his management team to reach out into high growth markets. Whether a prospective candidate requires surgery on his nose or neck, or her breast or body; Orange County's Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery can provide award-winning care to patients from Beverly Hills to Newport Beach and all shining points in-between.

Medicine is an interesting subject and there are many facets to the field: surgical, general practice, and an entire array of specialties. For most people, the surgical field is shrouded in mystery, except of course what they see on television. TV shows, however well made, fall terribly short of showing the expertise involved with any procedure. Now, that has changed. Dual Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Kevin Sadati is publishing scientific articles on his website, www.orangecountynosejob.com.

These articles are for those who are interested in delving deeper into the particulars of surgical rhinoplasty ; and frankly sometimes Wikipedia or reality shows just do not cut it. This new access to information leverages Dr. Sadati’s board certified training and knowledge and brings it to bear on documents newly available to the lay person. In this case, it is all about transparency. The more information patients have about their health care, the better choices they can make. These articles are meant to pull away the veil of mystery concerning plastic surgery and other corrective procedures. While they are presented for patients as well as other surgeons, it should be remembered that these are scientific in content and contain vocabulary appropriate to the medical community.

A visit to the Orange County Nose and Sinus Center’s website tells you that this is no ordinary practice. The site is easy to navigate and has a very clean, search engine friendly design. But what really makes the site is the quality of information, emphasized by the scientific nature of the articles. The first subjects covered are Turbinates Anatomy, Nasal Aesthetics, Nasal Tip, Alar Base reduction, and a description of the Nasal Radix.

Although these are complex procedures, they are easily accessible by just about everyone. Here is a quick sample of what you can find:

1. Turbinates Anatomy: The inferior turbinate is sensitive and responds to a wide range of environmental stimulants, such as smoke, air pollution, and rapid temperature changes through arti ficial climate control. These irritants are important when seen in light of the fact that turbinate tissue responds to stimu lation through the process of hypertrophy.

2. Nasal Aesthetic: As noses vary from patient to patient, so does the definition of beauty. It is neither possible nor desirable to impose a predetermined ideal nose to every face. Aesthetic surgery should not neutralize the face by denying it of individual characteristics such as familial or ethnic qualities. The cat egorical imposition of an "ideal" appearance does not allow for those attributes that define particular individuals.

3. Nasal Tip Surgery: Contemporary surgical literature is saturated with techniques for nasal tip modification and analytical effort seems to be wasted with describing the minutiae of technique rather than thought fully defining their purpose. In other words, modern analysis concentrates more on the answers instead of the appropriate questions. Therefore, more techniques or a grand unified technique only obscures the point. What is needed is a shift in emphasis.

4. Nasal Radix: The nose should have no discernible beginning but should be a continua tion of lines that are graceful extensions of other facial parts. The root of the nose, or radix, should be part of an unbroken curve that begins in the superior orbital ridge and continues along the lateral nasal wall.

5. Alar Base Reduction: an alar base reduction is designed to reduce the size and degree of nostril flare; decrease the width of the base of the nose, and realign existing asymmetries. The technique requires a wedge resection of the alar rim and nasal base. The wedge resection primarily results in a decrease of nostril flare, while an internal nostril incision tends to decrease the width of the nasal base.

While most other plastic surgery sites use the same-old, same-old template designs, Dr. Kevin Sadati has once again shown that he is more than a run-of-the-mill OC hotshot; with the scientific articles, he offers a glimpse into what a patient will actually experience from the surgeon’s perspective.

Dr. William P. Adams, M.D., F.A.C.S., a board certified cosmetic surgeon and Director of The Adams Center is the leading expert for breast augmentation, having performed over 1000 successful breast enhancement surgeries. Also known as Breast Enlargement, or Breast Enhancement, Dr. Adams uses a variety of breast implants including saline breast implants and silicone breast implants designed to fit the needs of each individual patient.

The Boston based plastic surgeon believes, "Beauty is subjective. Many of our patients say that a breast augmentation has helped improve their self confidence levels, and overall happiness about their bodies. When people feel great about how they look, that shows in everything they do."

The Adams Center provides the comfort and convenience of its own AAAASF accredited, state-of-the-art surgical center located in our Peabody office. This gives patients a greater level of comfort, care, convenience, and privacy than is possible in a hospital setting. However, Dr. Adams also maintains privileges at a local area hospital. The Adams Center also offers concierge services for out of town patients that include local hotel accommodations and a private nurse to escort you to and from the hospital.

When considering plastic surgery, it is imperative for a potential patient to carefully evaluate surgeon qualifications, credentials, and experience. The ASAPS recently launched their White Coat Deception Campaign urging the public to carefully investigate their cosmetic surgeon's credentials and background.

What many consumers don't know is that any medical doctor can actually perform plastic surgery, says Dr. Adams. "It's important to evaluate your surgeon, and the facility where your surgery will be performed. We have our own AAAASF [American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities] approved surgical center. The approval process is incredibly thorough. Not only is our operating room itself inspected, our staff's credentials are evaluated and vetted, and all of our equipment is checked to make sure it's ready, and up to date with the highest standards in care."

About The Adams Center

With over 28 years of experience, The Adams Center has helped thousands of people improve their appearance and enhance their self esteem. The Adams Center offers a full spectrum of both surgical and non-surgical procedures, personal fitness, and skin care products.
