The world of Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills is slightly different than most other regions in the world.  As a Facelift and Rhinoplasty expert in Beverly Hills I see people from all over the world who are looking to have the Best Facelift and Best Rhinoplasty that they can possibly have.  Many people who travel to Beverly Hills expect perfection or as close to it as possible.  The computer imager allows me to show people what the likely results are that a given person can expect.  It is imperative that the Plastic surgeon be careful to not show images that are not achievable because this will give the patient a false sense of what they should expect.  After years of experience I am able to determine the results that any given person can expect and I show them these changes on the computer imager.  This way the patient can make an educated and informed decision to have the proposed surgery or not based on the imaging.  By showing realistic results and not over promising I am able to have an extremely high rate of very happy patients.

  I discussed the Golden ratio (i.e. the number 1.618) which is a ratio that is found in nature and describes a certain compilation of shapes that when put together in that ratio lead to beautiful shapes.  This also pertains to faces and the practical applications are related to the equal 5ths that a face should demonstrate from the frontal view or the equal 3rds that a face should demonstrate from the horizontal view.  These are only a few of the proportions that the perfect face would display.  The documentary will be informative and fun and I look forward to its completion.

I did two Revision Rhinoplasties on people from Ireland over the last month.  Both of these women are from Dublin and they do not know each other.  I have treated several people from Ireland over the last 10 years but never 2 in the same month.  Both of these women had their original Rhinoplasties in Ireland and one of them had a revision in Paris.  They both had over reduced bridges that made their noses look scooped out.  Both had collapse and lack of support to the tip.  I used nasal bridge implants on both of them to rebuild the bridge and reconstructed both of their nasal tips.  Both women were extremely happy and I look forward to seeing them both again over the next year. 

For my European patients and other international patients I have them email photos on a monthly basis to check their progress.  This has worked out perfectly for hundreds of foreign patients over the last 10 years.

The information that will be available on this website is beyond the scope of my general website which gives general information on Facelifts, Rhinoplasties, Revision Rhinoplasties and other Facial Plastic procedures.  My new Facelift website will go into great detail with regard to the different Facelift techniques that I have perfected over my career.  After reviewing this website a person will be able to understand the differences between the available Facelift techniques  and which technique would work the best for them. 

My new website should be live by the August 1, 2010.

This is the first “testimonial” I have ever written.  It is the first time I have ever been moved and excited enough to want to write one.  But I have just had the most amazing experience.  And it has to do with something I never thought I would do.  I had plastic surgery on my face.  I am going to start with the doctor because that is where it really all begins.  His name is Dr. Jason Diamond.  And he is incredible.  His Beverly Hills office, The Diamond Face Institute, is located on Brighton Way at the corner of Canon Drive.  It is a warm, relaxed state of the art facility and the staff is so kind and professional and they make you feel like you are the most important person in the world from the moment you first walk in.  I will say more about them later.  They are extraordinary.  I have to say here that I had not been planning to

have “work” done at that moment of my life.  But the opportunity came up and I decided to do it, in a week and a half, not a lot of time to do any in depth research.  I was so worried I would not find the right person to do perform the surgery. And then Dr. Diamond walked into the exam room.  He is a tall, good looking man in impeccable scrubs, but the thing I was most struck by was his energy.  It is palpable in the room and reassuring. I figured he had the stamina to stand on his feet for hours in an operating room and remain fully present.  And then I looked in his eyes…they were blue and clear and deeply focused and I knew immediately that I could trust this man with my face.  I was totally right.  At the risk of sounding too dramatic, I have to say that Dr. Diamond is really a genius.  His attention to detail combined with his incredible artist’s “eye” for proportion and the look of the whole, allows him to create results that are truely beautiful and seemingly just right for the individual patient he is working with.  As he looked at my face that day I felt he really saw ME and that whatever he was about to suggest and to do would be with my unique and particular needs in mind.   My biggest fear going into surgery was that I would not look like myself afterwards; and that I would have the “puffed and pulled” look so many people have after the swelling goes away.  But Dr. Diamond made me look natural-even my most picky friends keep saying they can not believe how un-“done” I look.  By the way, though I don’t know that much about the medical procedures involved, I have to say Dr. Diamond’s surgical expertise must be profound.  My healing went so well and astoundingly quickly.  One of the questions I often hear is “but where are the scars?”  And they are almost impossible to detect-and were nearly invisible as early as 2-3 weeks into the recovery.  By the way, I need to mention another astounding force of nature at the Diamond Face Institute-his nurse and right hand woman, Janet. She is the consummate professional, full of compassion and empathy and information, and so talented in all the procedures she herself performs.  Janet redefines the words multi-tasking, and all this with grace and genuine caring for the patients.  It has been 9 weeks since my operation.  People that meet me for the first time seem to have no idea at all that I have had surgery.  Since I know that I have, and because I am still basically a little insecure about being the new me, I hasten to tell them that “I just had my face done 2 months ago in case you are wondering” and every single one of them has said “you’re kidding…I would never ever have thought that”.   One of the best tributes to Dr. D’s work happened in the elevator in his building as I was going up to the Penthouse suite about 2 weeks post op.  A woman got on the elevator with me on the first floor and said “How do you stay so slim?”.  I told her I had actually had surgery on my face 14 days ago and had lost 10 lbs.  She asked what could I possibly have had done to my face since I was so young?  I told her I was sixty two and that there had been quite a bit to do.  Her jaw literally dropped and as she backed out of the elevator she sputtered “WHO was the doctor and WHERE can I find him?”  I of course told her he was just a few floors away and his name was Dr. Jason Diamond.  As the elevator door closed, I saw she was pulling a piece of paper and a pen out of her purse.  I could go on and on with the compliments paid by others to this Dr’s work.  But the important thing really is that I love how I look.  When I look in the mirror I feel a confidence and a joy that I have not felt in many years.  And this “from the outside in” approach is, I think, as valid as its opposite.  It is why I am a sincere believer in plastic surgery for anyone who feels they want it.  And if that is ever you, give yourself the gift of surgery with this outstanding doctor.  I passionately believe there is no one else who brings such caring, dedicated, love for his craft to every patient he serves.  Dr. Jason Diamond is unique and gifted and adores what he does.  I feel so happy and lucky to have had the experience of his (yes, I’ll say it again!) genius.

  Neck sculpting in the form of liposuction or even necklifts is often done on people in their early 20’s who were born with poor anatomy such that they don’t have the sculpted neck, chin and jawline that is so desirable and considered sexy and attractive by all.

 Lower or minifacelifts as well are often done on people in their mid to late 30’s who have aged more rapidly than normal either based on lifestyle, major weight fluctuations or genetics.  The fact is our knowledge and skill level is so advanced that skilled Facial Surgeons are able to deliver amazing and natural changes for people who are looking to improve their appearance and therefore age is not a major factor anymore. 
 
  I advise people that if they are bothered by something that I can correct for them in an excellent and safe way then they are not too old or young.  People should only have cosmetic procedures done for themselves and not because other people think they should.  A Person deciding to improve his or her facial appearance is no different than someone deciding to go on a diet or join a gym to improve the appearance of their body.
