Cosmetic procedures tax (Botax)

Cosmetic procedures tax (Botax)

A recent proposal for the health care reform was to introduce  a  5% tax on elective cosmetic procedures.  Lawmakers that proposed this tax believe that it will allow to generate 5.8 billion dollars over the next ten years.  However,  the plastic surgery societies oppose this tax discriminatory, arbitrary and ineffective.

First,  this tax is disciminatory against women as 86 percent of plastic surgery patients are female, of which 91 percent are between the working ages of 19-64 according to the current ASPS President. He further added that cosmetic surgery is no longer an exclusive luxury afforded by the very wealthy, but rather a mainstream and reasonable option most common amongst the working middle-class.

According to the  plastic surgery societies, such a tax has been proven ineffective in the past.  New Jersey is the  only state that passed a similar 6% tax on elective medical procedures in 2004. However, the NJ Department of Taxation has experienced a 59% shortfall compared to the projected revenue estimates.  Eight other states have considered similar tax legislation– and they all wisely rejected them.

Finally, though the bill claims that the only procedures that would be taxed are those that are “not necessary to ameliorate a deformity arising from, or directly related to, a congenital abnormality, a personal injury resulting from an accident or trauma, or a disfiguring disease,” The Plastic Surgery Societies contend that such distinctions aren’t always obvious. Because the line between ‘cosmetic’ and ‘reconstructive’ surgery is not always clear, such a tax would leave the determination of medical necessity up to state tax auditors – a completely inappropriate proposition.

plastic surgery

Plastic surgical procedures are performed in large volumes on a daily basis in Los Angeles.   There are many different procedures performed.  Some of the most commonly performed procedures are:

Breast Augmentation Los Angeles – is probably the most commonly performed procedure by many Los Angeles plastic surgeons.  Silicone breast implants have become very popular and provide a more natural feel than saline implants.  The satisfaction rate of women with silicone implants appears to be higher than among those who underwent augmentation using saline implants.

Rhinoplasty -  is a procedure which reshapes the nose.  Closed and open nose reshaping techniques exist.   Rhinoplasty Los Angeles and  Rhinoplasty Beverly Hills experts will agree that this is one of the most challenging plastic surgical procedures as each person has a different nose.

Tummy tuck  Los Angeles- is  a very commonly performed procedure.  Many mothers and patients who lost weight turn to plastic surgeon to remove excess skin, excess fat, and tighten loose abdominal muscles. This procedure is frequently combined with liposuction.

Asian rhinoplasty

Asian-Americans comprise an increasing percentage of US plastic surgery patients and the number of Asian-Americans undergoing rhinoplasty in Los Angeles and rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills .  This procedure has been one of the most commonly requested procedures among this ethnic group.

A Los Angeles plastic surgeon is typically asked to address a broad bridge, wide nostrils, and a flat nasal tip curve. The prevailing Asian rhinoplasty trends involve the changing and reshaping of these characteristic features of the nose.

A common option to  produce a higher nasal bridge, a  silicone implants is used.   Some plastic surgeons in Los Angeles prefer to  use cartilage grafts to build up the nasal bridge during Asian rhinoplasty.  Cartilage warping and visibility have been reported as commonly observed complications when cartilage grafts are used for this purpose.  In contrast, the use of cartilage grafts for tip augmentation has been used successfully with fewer problems.

Keeping the nose balanced with the rest of the face is the key to a successful Asian-American rhinoplasty.  At the same time,  many patients request to preserve ethnic features of the nose.  Asian rhinoplasty is not a long procedure and therefore can be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation Los Angeles or tummy tuck Los Angeles.

dr vladimir grigoryants reviews nose reshaping

Vladimir Grigoryants, MD

Rhinoplasty (nose job) has traditionally been a surgical procedure to reshape the nose. This involves making small incisions outside and inside the nose to access the underlying bones and cartilages in order to modify their size and shape. However, as minimally invasive procedures are becoming more popular in medicine, a non-surgical rhinoplasty has been tried for nose reshaping.

A number of injectable tissue fillers have been FDA approved in recent years such as Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, and Radiesse. These injectables have been used for correction of facial wrinkles. Many Los Angeles plastic surgeons have started injecting these fillers in the nose in order to alter the shape of the nose. For example, injecting the filler above and below the bump on the bridge allows to hide it achieving a straight appearing nasal bridge. The fillers can also be injected in the tip to improve the definition of the tip and give an illusion of a raised tip.

So, which rhinoplasty procedure is better? Both procedures have been highly popular. The advantage of a non-surgical rhinoplasty is that it takes 5-10 minutes to perform and has very minimal or no swelling associated with it. It works well for patients who have a small bump on the bridge of the nose or a mildly droopy or short tip. By making the nose bigger in certain areas, a more aesthetically pleasing shape can be achieved. The length or the width of the nose, however, cannot be reduced with these injections. The results of a  non-surgical nose job usually last 4-7 months.

Surgical nose reshaping is preferred when permanent changes in the shape of the nose are desired. Unlike the non-surgical option, with surgery the length and the width of the nose can be reduced. Furthermore, any co-existing breathing problems or nasal asymmetry can be improved. In general much better results and more significant changes in shape can be achieved with surgical nose reshaping.

Permanent lip augmentation in Los Angeles

Introduction of silicone lip implants today allows plastic surgeons to offer patients a safe, natural, and permanent method of lip augmentation. Silicone lip implants are soft and shape specifically to produce a natural feel and look. These implants are similar in the feel to the gummy bear breast implants that are used for  breast augmentation.   Silicone lip implants cannot leak.  These implants are  be inserted in the office under local anesthesia through small incisions in the corner of the mouth. The procedure takes about 15-20 min to perform.  The implants can be easily removed in the office in the future if the patient decides to have them removed.  Lip augmentation can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, tummy tuck, or liposuction.

Nose reshaping

Although there are aesthetic guidelines as to what constitutes an attractive nose, for each face it takes a different nose to create an appropriate harmony and balance. According to a plastic surgeon Los Angeles patients can take advantage of nose reshaping surgery (rhinoplasty) which can help enhance the appropriate balance between the nose and facial features.

With Regard To Nose Plastic Surgery Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles Can Achieve The Following Effects:

The hump on the bridge of the nose can be removed
The boxy or bulbous tip of the nose can be refined
Droopy nose can be rotated up
A long nose can be made shorter
A wide nose can be narrowed
Certain traumatic deformities of the nose can be improved or corrected
Certain causes of nasal airway obstruction can be treated

In some patients with a small chin, a chin augmentation may improve the balance between the face and the nose. A detailed analysis of your nose and facial features will be performed during your consultation. As with all plastic surgery operations like rhinoplasty or tummy tuck  Los Angeles patients can expect to discuss potential options with their surgeons regarding all their facial and body reshaping needs.

How is nasal reshaping (rhinoplasty) done?
Rhinoplasty in some patients can be performed using local analgesia and sedation. General anesthesia is used in other patients. The choice of anesthesia depends on the type of nasal reshaping to be performed, your preference, and your medical condition. For most rhinoplasty patients, we place incisions inside the nose. The sutures are absorbable and do not need to be removed. In some patients a small incision may need to be placed at the base of the nose.

What is recovery like following rhinoplasty Beverly Hills patients often ask. Intranasal dressings, if used, will be removed on day 2 or 3 after surgery. You will have a splint on your nose that will be removed on day 5 or 6 after surgery. Most swelling will resolve within several weeks. However, it may take up to a year for all swelling to resolve completely. Most patients are very pleased with the results. Some patients request a touch-up procedure to further refine the results.  Many patients combine rhinoplasty with other procedures such as breast augmentation Los Angeles .
