Ulthera−skin tightening

Wed, 09 May 2012 17:49:37 GMT

Give your face and neck a lift−with Ultherapy! No surgery or downtime required Ultherapy is the only treatment that can lift and tighten sagging skin by targeting the deep tissue layers beneath it...;without cutting or disrupting the skin's surface! Ultherapy, which is FDA-approved for safety, uses ultrasound technology to deliver heat into the deep foundation layer beneath the skin to stimulate the creation of new collagen and the renewal of its existing collagen. The result is firmer skin, and a more youthful, uplifted facial appearance! A treatment can be completed in-office in just 30 to 60 minutes, and afterwards you may immediately resume your normal activities. Though some patients notice initial improvement right away, the greatest toning and lifting is typically seen over the next two to three months as the collagen building process takes place.

The Mommy Makeover

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:26:21 GMT

Houston Plastic Surgeon Dr. Chris Patronella specializes in Mommy Makeovers to restore a woman's body after having children While having a child is a cherished and unforgettable experience for most women, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations take a physical toll upon the body that leaves many women with breasts that have loss fullness and firmness, stretch marks, loose abdominal skin, and a tummy bulge that won't budge despite diet and exercise. These changes frequently take a psychological toll as well, causing a woman to feel self-conscious about her body and hesitant to wear the figure-accentuating jeans, tops, dresses, and swimsuits she may have once enjoyed. For Dr. Patronella, being a participant in the restoration of a woman's body to its pre-pregnancy state is particularly rewarding. While some patients with children initially have reservations or feelings of guilt about pursuing cosmetic plastic surgery to restore their bodies, the...

Transform Your Breasts in a Single Procedure: Houston Plastic Surgeon Dr. Christopher Patronella's Innovative Combination Breast Augmentation / Breast Lift Procedure

Pregnancy, nursing, gravity, aging, and weight fluctuations are not kind to a woman’s breasts. Changes happen gradually, but at some point many women notice their breasts appear less shapely and are moving south on the chest. This often presents a real blow to a woman’s body image and sense of feminine beauty, making it difficult to wear figure-accentuating tops, dresses, and swimsuits with confidence.

How to Select a Plastic Surgeon

Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:15:13 GMT

Selecting a plastic surgeon can be a very difficult process, especially for those who do not have the benefit of a direct referral from a trusted physician, friend, or family member who has had direct experience with a plastic surgeon. As a result of over-marketing, patients are often times more confused than informed, thus making the decision on how to choose a plastic surgeon even more challenging. Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to ensure that you are making an informed decision regarding who you will select to be your plastic surgeon. Step 1: Certification/American Board of Plastic Surgery A surgeon must be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only board accredited by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) that recognizes expertise pertinent to the specific area of plastic surgery. Simply put, any other board certification does not validate competence in the distinct specialty of plastic surgery. By choosing a...

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq

Fri, 20 May 2011 17:08:49 GMT

CoolSculpting-An Innovative New Method to Non-Surgically Reduce Fat CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ is a patented, new non-invasive procedure that reduces unwanted fat. CoolSculpting gently targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to produce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges.

In The Media-continued

Sat, 16 Apr 2011 22:45:52 GMT

Interpretation of a Facelift-continued Last year, I finally got tired of looking old and tired while I still felt young and energetic, so I decided to do something about it. I had recently lost 25 pounds, and although I was thrilled with the weight loss, the droopy neck had to go. Of course, my wonderful husband, Jim, insisted, I think you look good just the way you are. He is a wise man. I had consultations with two plastic surgeons - neither of which made much of an impression on me. Then I went to see my new best friend, Dr. Christopher Patronella. I immediately felt a connection with him and knew that I had found the man for the job. He told me that he would restore my neck and jaw line to its original non-saggy condition and that I would never feel any pain. And he was right - my turkey neck is gone, and I never had a single minute of pain. Dr. P had explained to me that he would only cut the skin along the front of my ears and around the bottom of my ears to about...

SculptraAesthetic

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 12:19:12 GMT

Sculptra®Aesthetic is a new facial injectable treatment that restores volume to the face by replacing collagen that is lost during the aging process. Collagen, a key element that provides the face with volume and shape, begins to break down at about age 30. As a result wrinkles and lines begin to appear and the face loses the fullness and contours that cause it to appear youthful.

The main component of Sculptra®Aesthetic, Poly-L-Lactic acid, is a biocompatible (not harmful to the body) ingredient which works in the deep dermis to stimulate collagen. It is effective at softening the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds (smile lines) and restoring fullness to areas that are shallow or hollow, such as the temples, the cheeks, and the area underneath the eyes. Sculptra®Aesthetic produces natural-looking results that can last up to two years.

If you are interested in Sculptra®Aesthetic to restore facial volume and soften lines, call our office today at 713.799.9999 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Patronella or his aesthetic nurse specialist, Abby Loner, RN.
