Minimally Invasive Procedures Dominate in Dr. Payman Simoni’s 2010 Forecast for Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetic Surgery

December 28th, 2009

Beverly Hills, CA -  With no light at the end of the tunnel yet visible for our troubled economy the year 2010 will most likely feature a very clear shift toward noninvasive procedures according to famed Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Payman Simoni, MD.  Noninvasive procedures are lower cost, and the recovery time is much less compared to traditional surgical procedures like face lifts, tummy tucks and breast augmentation. “People will be concerned about taking too much time off of work in an economy that isn’t synonymous with job security,” said Simoni. 

 The competitive job market will encourage some individuals to seek help from cosmetic enhancement to look more youthful and refreshed; therein lays the popularity of injectables like Botox.  The cosmetic injections can smooth lines and wrinkles in a 30-minute treatment for just a few hundred dollars.  “I received some media attention in 2009 for my Recession Face Lift and it’s possible that rejuvenating procedures such as this will show a surge with people who seek job security in looking younger,” said Simoni.

 Many companies recently have invested in laser assisted liposuction, procedures that promise less invasive approach to traditional liposuction.  “I believe that not even new laser assisted liposuction procedures will be able to bring liposuction back to the number one plastic surgery procedure spot that it once enjoyed,” said Simoni.

 Simoni goes on to say that cosmetic procedures like laser hair removal that have less to do with beauty and more with comfort will show a dramatic downturn.  Many will turn to razors and waxes to save money for other necessities. Other DIY cosmetic procedure may attract consumers. 

 Many business savvy companies will notice the demand of consumers who wish to look younger at cheaper cost and will come up with catchy “face lift in a bottle” ideas.  Using cosmetic creams to look more refreshed is not a new idea, but false promises of face lift results from a simple cream may become more common in the year to come. “By the time people realize the old saying ‘If it is too good to be true, it usually is’ many of these companies will have made their fortune!” Simoni concluded.

Payman Simoni, MD is a dual board certified plastic surgeon and the founder of Simoni Plastic Surgery, a Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice. He is the creator of the revolutionary procedure, the Simoni Lift, a one-hour comprehensive face lift that is performed without the need for general anesthesia. His revolutionary procedures have been featured in or on The New York Times, The View, Reuters, CNN, EXTRA, KTLA, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, OK!

First Ever Black Friday Sales Event for Plastic Surgery to be Held by Payman Simoni, MD

November 24th, 2009

Beverly Hills – The biggest shopping day of the year is here again, and while major retailers across the nation look to battle it out with pricing wars, one renowned Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon has decided to join the festivities.  Payman Simoni, M.D., recognized for the innovative Simoni face lift procedure, is hosting the first ever plastic surgery Black Friday Event.  As the U.S. economy slowly recovers, this event will help to make once pre-recession affordable plastic surgery treatments more affordable again for at least this one day of the year. 

“People want to look their best during the holidays,” said Dr. Simoni. “With all the money people will be spending on gifts, parties, and travelling it becomes a bit harder to spend time and money on themselves. With our Black Friday Sale we will be making it easier for our patients look fabulous during this holiday season,” he concluded.

Deals being offered include 20 to 50% off on most injectables, cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery procedures. Patients can save on Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Latisse, Obagi products, The Simoni Lift, rhinoplasty, liposuction, laser resurfacing, E Matrix RF treatments, VASER, Velashape among others. All procedures will need to be booked on Friday, November 27, 2009 with a 30% down payment required at the time of booking.

Less than a month ago, Dr Simoni hosted the first ever Dysport Party in the country.  Injectables like Dysport, Botox, Juvederm, or Restylane are well known for being the most affordable alternatives to their longer lasting surgical counterparts.  The current economic down-turn has rendered these once affordable treatments difficult for most people to afford.  The release of Dysport as the first true competition to Botox has pushed the industry to provide rebates to sway consumers toward their products.

BEVERLY HILLS’ SIMONI PLASTIC SURGERY TO HOLD THE FIRST EVER DYSPORT PARTY

October 4th, 2009

 

Time: Thursday, October 15, 2009 7 to 9 PM

Location: Simoni Plastic Surgery, 50 N. La Cienega Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA

 

Beverly Hills – Botox® parties are so last year.  With its recent FDA approval Botox® finally has its first and only rival: Dysport.  Consumers and the plastic surgery industry at large are expecting some changes to the anti aging game as a result of this new competition.  Many are hoping this new rivalry between Botox® and Dysport will result in not only price reduction, but also quality improvement both of which will benefit consumers directly, especially in this economy.

For years, Allergan’s Botox® has dominated the wrinkle market without any major competition.  Since its introduction, the unmatched and cost effective results provided by Botox® have made it the number one cosmetic procedure in America.  No other cosmetic or aesthetic product is as popular nor has hosted as many parties throughout the country. 

Botulinum Toxin A is the active ingredient of both Dysport and Botox.  The extremely diluted Botulinum toxin A relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, decreasing unsightly lines.  Allergan, the company behind Botox®, has enjoyed unrivaled market for years and has repeatedly raised its prices every year for the last several.  Even the recent down turn in economy has not seemed to diminish the need for this luxury item.  “Interestingly the number of Botox® requests have increased in recent months,” explains Dr Simoni, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon.  “As more people cannot afford costly surgical procedures, a temporary yet affordable fix has become more attractive,” he said.

With Dysport, medical manufacturer Ipsen introduces the only other FDA approved botulinum toxin, and the happy carefree days of no competition may be over for Allergan.  America’s open market encourages competition.  This may spur on pricing competition that will benefit consumers.  Also this competition may trigger further attempts to improve on to the next “bigger and better” products.

“Already many patients are reporting faster results with Dysport compared to Botox,” said Dr. Simoni. “We’re seeing results with Dysport in couple of days whereas Botox can take about four days” concluded Dr. Simoni.

Ten Secrets for Getting High Quality Plastic Surgery at More Affordable Prices

July 27th, 2009

With the advances in medical science and technology and improved social economy, plastic surgery is no longer belongs to rich and famous.  In reality more than one third of plastic surgery patients finance their surgery.  However, despite significant affordability of the cosmetic surgery it is still carry a high price tag.  Like any other business a savvy customer can get bargain prices.  The following are few pointers to help turning you to a savvy plastic surgery customer.

 

1-     Don’t be afraid of asking for a discount.  This is the first lesson in life, “if you do not ask you won’t not get”. 

  1. Dr Simoni’s Advice:  be polite and friendly when asking for discount.  If you show un-friendly behavior it may be a sign of how you may behave after you are done with your procedure.

2-     Plastic Surgery is seasonal.  Certain times of the year is considered quite season for plastic surgery.  You may have a better chance of getting you desired fee if you plan your procedure during these times.  You can ask the office staff as when is their slow time of the year.  Slow times for plastic surgery are usually Septembers and Decembers.

  1. Dr S Advice: When asking for discount explain your readiness to be flexible with your schedule.

3-     Get few quotes.  Go to more than one consult, so you get a feel for how much your desired procedure could cost. Tell your plastic surgeon of your previous quotes you have got.  You might be able to use the competition as a bargaining chip.

  1. Dr S Advice:  Without glorifying or degrading the previous surgeons you have met, ask you plastic surgeon of what he thinks of your previous quotes.  It gives your surgeon a chance to divulge some unknown secrets about other surgeons.  “There were times that my patients were confused as how come another doctor office down the block advertises for half of my fee” said Dr Simoni, a Beverly Hills Facial plastic surgeon.  “I had to educate my patient that the other physicians are not board certified and/or operate in a non accredited operating room”.  “Interesting enough, I still lowered my fee so my patient can get higher quality care without the financial burden” explained Dr Simoni.
  2. Warning:  Make sure you compare apple with apple.  You should identify each procedure by its medical name.

4-     Go with your friends.  Go with couple of your friends that might be interested in the same procedure.  Your plastic surgeon would be more inclined to lower his/her fees when foresees future patients.

  1. Dr S Advice:  Make sure your friends reveal their enthusiasm for plastic surgery.
  2. Warning:  Make sure your friends do not waist time by their own questions.  Most probably your doctor has allocated a limited amount of time for you only.

5-     Look for newly relocated doctors.  Even though rare, but at times an experienced plastic surgeon relocates and looking for new clienteles.  That doctor is more inclined to lower his fees at his/her new location.  “I am charging half of my regular fees at times since I have relocated to Beverly Hills” explains Dr Payman Simoni.

  1. Dr S Advice: Look for relocated doctors in desirable locations like California or Florida.
  2. Warning: “Always do backgrounds check of your doctor and make sure He is Board certified Plastic or Facial plastic Surgeon” recommends Dr Simoni.  Cosmetic surgeons do not have the same training as plastic surgeons.

6-     Check the operating room.  Operating room fee is a significant portion of your procedure fees.  If your doctor has his/her own operating room (s)he is more able to reduce the fee.  Once your doctor has to use outside facility, He has a major fixed expense that cannot be compromised

  1. Dr S Advice:  Make sure the operating room is accredited.

7-     Go to a heavily populated plastic surgery area.  Despite what you may expect, you can get better deal in areas like Beverly Hills than a remote area. 

8-     Go to a specialist: Even though it may seem that you pay a little more originally but at the end the chance of needed revision is less.  Always remember that the revisions cost way more than primary surgeries.  “In some difficult cases I have to charge even double for the revision rhinoplasties when another inexperienced doctor has done some damage” Said Dr Simoni, a rhinoplasty specialist.

9-     Try to book your surgery on the same day.  If you are sure about the doctor and the procedure and the fee is your only reservation suggest a reduced fee for booking at the same day.  Every doctor knows that once you leave the office there is a chance you would not come back.  If your doctor is smart (s)he would opt for a reduced fee for a sure thing.

10- Avoid anesthesia if Possible.  Anesthesia carries a risk as well as high expense.  There are good numbers of plastic surgeries that can be done comfortably without the need for anesthesia.  Eliminating anesthesia eliminate a good portion of the cost.

  1. Dr S Advice: Make sure your doctor is comfortable to do your procedure without anesthesia.  It is a skill of its own and not shared by all surgeons.  “I do over 90% of my surgeries comfortably without the need for anesthesia” explained Dr Simoni.

Micheal Jackson: King of Pop or Plastic Surgery

June 26th, 2009

The Many Faces of Michael JacksonMike was born August 28, 1958 – one of 9 kids.  He was born with cute African-American facial characteristics. However, his father reportedly nicknamed him “Big Nose”.   That may have started his long battle with his nose. 

 People first noticed the changes with his nose during the “thriller” era when he was just 26 years old.  His nose seemed slightly narrower.  At this time his nose was still proportional to his face and ethnicity, explains Dr Simoni, a Beverly Hills rhinoplasty specialist who has never treated Micheal Jackson. 

 Just one year after, Michael’s, nose appeared to be even thinner.  This could have been the normal progression of healing after rhinoplasty, believes Dr Simoni.  His nose still looked good for his face.

 2 years later, at age 29, Michael seemed to have another nose job and cheeks implant.  His dramatic facial changes in conjunction with whiter skin got people talking.  He blamed his change in skin color on a medical condition called vitiligo.  However, the uniform skin color on his face and neck could hint on the use of skin bleach.

 His famous little teeny nostril triangles and a sharp razor bridge of the nose popped on the pictures 3 years later.  This was the nose surgery that he really should not have done.  Or more importantly his doctor should have refused, explains Dr Simoni.  To make matter worse, he now had a manly cleft in his chin and a square jaw. 

 Most probably, he was not satisfied with his last nose surgery at this time but there was no point of return.  In couple of years, at 1993, his legal allegations and loss of some important advertisement contracts has probably made him more dissatisfied with himself.  He probably took out his anger out on his nose and underwent another rhinoplasty that devastated his nose to the max.  This time his nose was at the worst of his life; an extremely upturned nose with a super-sharp tip.  He truly gave the expression “Cutting off the nose to spite the face” a new meaning. 

 

In 1997, he shows up with a larger chin implant that made his nose even less in balance.  This is the part that is difficult for me to comprehend, explains Dr Simoni.  We have someone who is extremely “unlucky” with his nose procedures.  Now some plastic surgeon decides to go ahead and go extreme on his chin too.  This should be warned to plastic surgeons on their first day of their training.

 Michael celebrated the new millennium with an eyelid surgery.  At 2004, Michael had a reconstructive surgery on his nose by a German plastic Surgeon.  No significant change was seen but it was definitely somewhat improved.

 It is obvious that Michael consistently wanted a thinner nose through his life.  Was it his father remarks at early age that created his wrong self image?  We would never know.  But the lack of complain on his part against any of his plastic surgeons could indicate that he may have blamed himself through out.  But Dr Simoni believes that an equal blame should be placed on those plastic surgeons who blindly did what they were requested.

Some job seekers invest in plastic surgery to compete

April 9th, 2009

By Sue ZeidlerPosted 2009/04/08 at 1:13 am EDT

LOS ANGELES, Apr. 8, 2009 (Reuters) — When the going gets tough, some of the tough get going to the plastic surgeon’s office.

The recession clearly took a cut out of plastic surgery in 2008 with US cosmetic surgeries down 9 percent to $11.8 billion, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

But some surgeons and patients are now citing increased interest in surgery among people wanting to look younger and “fresher” for the ever-competitive job market.

“I’m 56 and I’ve been in the music business for 35 years. We’re not having a good year and I know I’ll soon have to interview,” said Jeff Grabow, a music marketing executive in Los Angeles, who recently spent $17,000 on a facelift.

“The surgery made sense for me. I look at least 10 to 15 years younger and I have more confidence,” he said.

Grabow’s surgeon, Payman Simoni, performs what he calls a “wide awake facelift” using only local anesthesia, which he says slashes the recovery time as well as the cost by as much as $6,000, making it popular among job seekers.

“Before the economy turned down, people would come in because they wanted to have more fun and enjoyment out of life,” he said. “But now plastic surgery has become a necessity for some. People cannot only rely on their skills in this market. They want to look refreshed and youthful so they can compete for jobs,” he said.

COSMETIC TUNE-UPS

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released a recent survey showing that American women were looking at cosmetic surgery to get a competitive edge in the workplace.

About 13 percent of the 756 women surveyed, between the ages of 18 and 64, say they would consider having a cosmetic medical procedure to make them more confident and more competitive in the job market.

About 3 percent said they already had a cosmetic procedure to increase their perceived value in the workplace, and 73 percent said they believed that appearance and youthful looks play a part in getting hired, a promotion, or getting new clients, particularly in these challenging economic times,

Linda Mason, a television producer and photographer in Los Angeles, said she recently got a facelift because she is in a “young business.”

“I deal with young people and the best way to succeed in this business is to stay young,” she told Reuters.

Manhattan plastic surgeon Stephen Greenberg saw an opportunity in this growing trend and recently began promoting a “Job Fighter Package” for men and women.

“We’ve probably done no less than 50 to 60 tune-ups since launching the package about five months ago,” Greenberg said, noting that not all the “tune-ups” have involved surgeries, but also less costly and invasive procedures like cosmetic injectables.

“Men and women in their 40’s and 50’s are competing with peers 10 to 15 years younger and employers naturally tend to go to a person who looks fresher and younger, despite who is better qualified,” Greenberg said, adding that a lot of his patients view the surgery as an investment and are financing it with loans.

Plastic surgery loans can involve financing charges of 12 to 19 percent, according to industry experts.

In addition to the perceived competitive advantage from a face lift, some surgeons believe the recession is starting to cause more and more patients to get “work done” for an emotional lift in these dark times.

“I think when people are down about the economy, they want to do things to make them feel better,” Greenberg said.

New York City jeffplastic surgeon Steven Pearlman agreed.

“People are fed up and are starting to figure that it’s time to live a little. Cosmetic surgery is about investing in yourself. It makes you look good and feel better about yourself, a dozen times a day when you look in the mirror,” he said

Beverly Hills Surgeon Dr. Payman Simoni Applauds Obama Administration’s New Direction in Stem Cell Research

March 18th, 2009

Fat InjectionBeverly Hills, CA – The recent lift of stem cell research restrictions by President Barack Obama has been heralded by stem cell researchers across the nation. The action has reversed an eight year research ban and, to many, signifies the coming of a new era of potential cures for many debilitating diseases like diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and many cancers. Among the advocates for stem cell research and technology are plastic surgeons like Dr. Payman Simoni who have seen the benefits of stem cell use first hand.
 
“Many people do not realize that stem cells have been utilized in plastic surgery for decades now,” said Simoni. Stem cells are special cells that have the ability to become other types of cells, like skin, bone, nerve, or muscle tissues.  Embryonic stem cells are the most well-known and controversial type.  But there are other stem cells in the body called adult stem cells.  “Fat carries a good number of adult stem cells which have been utilized in modern plastic surgery procedures such as fat grafting, fat transfers and fat injections,” said Simoni.
 
Fat transfers and fat injections involve harvesting fat from unwanted areas of the patient’s body. This harvested tissue is then injected into areas of the face to fill in wrinkles and areas that typically lose tissue mass as a result of aging.  This method of injecting filler is often considered safer than other methods because the patient’s own tissue is being used. The fat then stays for a few years as the body slowly breaks down and removes the injected fat from the areas it was placed.
 
However, surgeons noticed unexpected benefits in their fat transfer patients. “Patients who receive fat injections from me look unbelievably younger in their one year follow-up,” explained Dr Simoni. “The reason is, the stem cells in the fat injections bond with the patient’s tissues in their face, adding to lost bone and muscle tissue while improving the quality of the skin.” Dr. Simoni uses fat injections as part of his face lifts to create the ultimate youthful beauty.  Performing under local anesthesia, Dr Simoni’s advanced face rejuvenation has been featured around the world as Simoni LiftTM.
 
In Europe, surgeons process the fat to get a high concentration of stem cells.  This supercharged stem cell fat is then used to rejuvenate the skin and the face.  Fat stem cells have even been used in reconstructive plastic surgery.  In 2004, surgeons in Germany used stems cells from fat tissue of a seven year old girl to help repair major damage to her skull.  The large hole in the skull is now replaced by solid bone. In 2006, researchers in UCLA announced successfully transforming adult fat stem cells into smooth muscle cells, which help the normal function of a large number of organs like the intestine, bladder and arteries.

Payman Simoni, M.D. received his undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University and his M.D. degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He served as general surgical resident at University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital and completed his Facial Plastic Surgery and Head & Neck surgery training at University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital.  Dr Simoni has two board certifications in Facial Plastic Surgery by American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery (www.abfprs.org) and American Board of Head and Neck Surgery/Otolaryngology. In the media, Dr. Simoni has been featured on The View, Entertainment Tonight, 10 Years Younger, The Insider, and in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Ok! Weekly.

Dr. Payman Simoni Comments on the Alleged Tragic Complications Stemming From Usher’s Wife’s Plastic Surgery

February 27th, 2009

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ — As plastic surgery is becoming more and more common, there has been an increase in Americans seeking less expensive surgery abroad, which as Dr. Payman Simoni, a renowned Beverly Hills plastic surgeon warns, can have disastrous consequences, as allegedly has been the case with Usher’s wife, who was widely reported as having had plastic surgery in Brazil.

Dr. Simoni points out that while there are many excellent plastic surgeons in Brazil, one also must factor in the anesthesia. An overwhelming percentage of fatal or near-fatal complications from plastic surgery are the result of general anesthesia. So, while a patient might be able to find a great plastic surgeon abroad, it might not be readily apparent that one must also find an equally good anesthesiologist and ensure that the anesthesia equipment is up to date.

Setting aside the major complications that can occur with surgery or anesthesia, there are many other factors that many do not take in to account when considering medical tourism. Many small problems such as wound healing or scarring are common side effects of any plastic surgery procedure. Many of these problems will require multiple visits to the surgeon for an optimum result, which can be challenging for a patient far from home, which can eliminate some of the cost savings.

“While I have not treated Usher’s wife, in my opinion, the reported need for a neurosurgeon strongly suggests complications relating to general anesthesia, which can include stroke, hypoxic brain injury, and intracranial bleeding,” said Dr. Simoni.

“The good news is that the current downturn in the economy has led to deep discounts at many plastic surgery practices right here in the U.S.,” concluded Dr. Simoni.
