Plastic surgery is the foundation of the Zelken Institute. Dr. Zelken, a Johns Hopkins-trained, board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializes in surgery of the face, breast, and body. His niche procedures include facelift, rhinoplasty, laser eyelid surgery, and wide awake surgery. He is a luminary for BodyTite, a scarless skin tightening solution, and holds a leadership role at Hoag Hospital.
He is fellowship trained in microsurgery and is a respected member of the local trauma call panels. Under the guidance of our Wellness Director Sophia Puatu, DNP, we offer weight loss solutions, hormone replacement, energy optimization, and metabolism. All surgical patients visit should speak with a staff anesthesiologist prior to surgery to ensure surgery is safe and to be optimized medically.
We are believers in the perioperative surgical home concept (POSH) where continuity of care is assured, and you can choose this option enhance or maintain your results. We offer a comprehensive menu of services from laser therapy to photofacials, fillers and other injectables, innovative therapies, and skin care.

Today Linda Evangelista made the news for coming forward with a heartfelt account about her experience with Coolsculpting.
Coolsculpting has been around for years and is the industry leader in nonsurgical fat reduction.
But is it really the best option?
The earliest facelifts were skin-only (subcutaneous) lifts that looked good initially but did not last long due to the weak mechanics of skin (the weakest organ).
These days, one of the most-requested facial problem areas is a small shadow that originates from the corner of the mouth and angles downward.

The abdominal wall is a complex structure that must be well-understood before reconstruction is pursued.
Think of the wall as a tube, or pressure generator that aids in balance, orientation in three-dimensional space, micturition, defecation, parturition, coughing, breathing, and phonation.
Layers including skin, subcutaneous fat, fascia, muscle, pre peritoneal fat, and peritoneum.
In simpler terms, there are two layers: (a) cutaneous or superficial and (b) musculofascial or deep, insofar as reconstruction is concerned.

Losing a lot of weight is something to celebrate.
Seriously, congratulations!
Strut your stuff, and by all means, treat yourself no a new wardrobe.
While skin snaps back in some folks, often times, it retains it memory and that extra baggage can be as troublesome as the extra weight.
After any substantial amount of weight loss, whether from weight loss surgery or lifestyle changes, the skin and tissues often lack the elasticity to conform to your new, reduced body size.
We call this "massive weight loss".
