miraDry® is the only FDA approved non-invasive treatment to treat excessive underarm sweat and odor permanently. Wang Plastic Surgery Pasadena and Upland Offices have treated many patients with hyperhidrosis and achieved excellent results, saving them from embarrassing moments with underarm stains on their clothes and body odor.

As shown below, miraDry® "sweat test" was performed at Wang Plastic Surgery to treat excessive underarm sweat in Pasadena. An iodine solution was applied to the underarm skin and allowed to air-dry. Once the area is dried, we dust the area using starch.

Sweating is encouraged - when sweat reaches the surface of the skin the starch and iodine combine causing a dramatic color change (from yellow to dark blue) allowing sweat production to be actively visualized.

Wonder how the inframammary incision scarring would look post-surgery? Here is an album of Inframammary scars post breast augmentation from Wang Plastic Surgery Pasadena & Upland for your reference.

The inframammary incision is the most common and the most versatile incision method used in Breast Augmentation procedures, as it allows the best access to the surgical site. When the inframammary incision is used to place breast implants, incisions are made beneath the breast, in the fold where the breast meets the chest wall. Once the incision is created beneath each breast, a saline or silicone implant may be inserted beneath or above the chest muscle.

The incision is usually done in the grove beneath the breast so that it will not be seen when the breast falls naturally against the chest wall. The inframammary incision does not completely mask scars, but scarring is less visible by being placed beneath the breast.

If you’d like to learn more about the different individualized breast augmentation at Wang Plastic Surgery, making an informed decision on the incision-placement methods, or choosing the right implant, you may request a consultation online or call Wang Plastic Surgery at (888) 360-6688 today to schedule your appointment.

If you have marionette lines, nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, jowl and neck, and don’t want to go under the knife, then Ultherapy® is what you need. Ultherapy® is the FDA approved ultrasound treatment for skin lifting and firming from Ulthera Inc. Ultherapy® is the only non-invasive procedure that targets the SMAS layer of the skin, a non-surgical SMAS Lift. This is the layer which surgeons tighten during a surgical-facelift or threadlift of the mid to lower face. With a built-in ultrasound scan, Ultherapy® can accurately locate the SMAS and deliver a very precise dose of energy to it, and start stimulating your collagen production.

SMAS is an acronym for the superficial muscular aponeurotic system which is a layer of fibrous tissues and muscles that start just in front of and below the ear extending down to the neck. This thin yet strong layer covers and connects the muscles and structures of the face, the midface, and the neck together as a continuous fibromuscular tissue. When the SMAS becomes loose, redundant and drops with age, it creates laxity along the lower face and jawline creating jowls, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds.

Both men and women can be good candidates for Ultherapy®, but it still requires a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon and team to advise the most suitable procedure(s) to treat your condition. If you’d like to inquire about Ultherapy® in Pasadena , San Gabriel Valley, and Inland Empire area, you may request a consultation online or call Wang Plastic Surgery at (888) 360-6688 today to schedule your appointment.

How does Ultherapy® work?

Sagging skin or tissue laxity is mostly the result of structural weakening in the skin’s foundation (SMAS/Platysma) at ~4.5mm deep. Ultherapy® is the only non-invasive technology that treats 3 discrete depth (1.5mm, 3mm and 4.5mm), targeting both the dermis and the foundational tissue layers where laxity begins.

Just as you were to receive an ultrasound, we will use Ultherapy’s ultrasound imaging to first see deep within the skin to determine the optimal placement of the treatment energy, then deliver the focused ultrasound energy to beneath your skin surface.

Is Ultherapy® painful? How does the treatment feel like?

All non-invasive aesthetic procedures are not typically painless but can be well tolerated due to our comfort management protocol. Topical anesthesia will be applied to the target areas 20 minutes before the procedure, along with Tylenol or Advil as necessary.

You will feel the energy being deposited in the depths of your tissue, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. The sensation will only occur while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. That sensation, and the amount of discomfort from the Ultherapy® procedure, can vary tremendously from patient to patient. Some patients may experience only mild discomfort, while other patients might note more significant discomfort.

How long is a Ultherapy® session and how many sessions will I need?

Most Ultherapy seesions last between 30 to 90 minutes, depending the areas to be treated.

For most patients, with just one non-invasive Ultherapy® treatment helps counteract the effects of gravity and sun exposure without downtime. Some may require a touch up.

When should I expect to see the Ultherapy® results and how long can the results last?

65 percent of patients reported to see improvements 60 to 180 days after treatment.

In terms of skin tightening and lifting, the longevity of Ultherapy® results may last up to at least two years, depending on the degree of skin laxity and lifting needed prior to the procedure. A touch-up or maintenance treatment may be required, particularly in elderly patients with extensive baseline skin laxity.

Ultherapy® vs. Thermage®?

Both Thermage® and Ultherapy® stimulate collagen production and are within the same price range. However, their underlying technology is different. Ultherapy® uses ultrasound technology, whereas Thermage® uses radiofrequency.

They can both be described as the “anti-aging iron” or the none-invasive facelift, but with different efficacies. Ultherapy® ultra sound could deliver energy much deeper into your skin, to the 4.5-5mm SMAS, but not Thermage®. On the other hand, Thermage® radiofrequency could be delivered to the full face, including the upper eyelid, using Thermage® for the Eyes. In other words, Ultherapy® works better on lifting the lower face and jawline or sagging skin, whereas Thermage® works best in smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

Some energies and technologies will work better on certain individuals. An experienced cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Stewart Wang and his team at the Wang Plastic Surgery will be able to help you determine if Ultherapy® is the best procedure for you.If you are in Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, San Marino, Ultherapy®™ treatment, please contact Wang Plastic Surgery Pasadena Office.
