  • Back Fat Busted! Why Workouts Won’t Cut It & What Actually Works

    Back Fat Busted! Why Workouts Won’t Cut It & What Actually Works
    Apr 9 2025
    Avoiding two-piece swimsuits or open-back dresses? You’re not alone! It’s a common struggle, and San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Luke Swistun is here to explain why it’s so hard to get rid of.

    No matter how many workouts you do, back fat can be incredibly stubborn—and there’s a scientific reason for that. Dr. Swistun explains why liposuction is usually the most effective solution, how back lipo often turns into 360 lipo, and why incision placement makes all the difference for smooth, natural-looking results.

    Thinking about pairing lipo with a fat transfer? Or maybe you’re dealing with loose skin after weight loss and considering an arm lift or Renuvion? Dr. Swistun shares when a combo approach makes the most sense.

    Hear real patient stories, recovery timelines, and how a more sculpted back can give you a serious confidence boost.

    Bye-Bye Stubborn Fat, Hello New Wardrobe: Karen’s GLP-1 Weight Loss Story
    Apr 1 2025
    When Karen couldn’t shake that last 20 pounds, she considered liposuction. But between the cost and the downtime, it just didn’t feel like the right fit for her busy life. That’s when she decided to give weight loss medication a try.

    After surviving breast cancer, Karen struggled to lose weight. At 63, she is actively exploring San Diego, boating, and making the most of life, and she’s thrilled that the skinny shot has her feeling more energized, confident, and ready to move.

    Beyond weight loss, Karen discovered some unexpected perks, like fewer alcohol cravings and an overall boost in her health.

    She shares all the NSVs (non-scale victories), her best tips for seeing results while feeling great, how she uses ChatGPT to find great recipes, and her experience with the Signature Skinny Shot program at LJCSC.

  • The Cosmetic Procedures for Men That No One Will Notice (But Everyone Will See)

    The Cosmetic Procedures for Men That No One Will Notice (But Everyone Will See)
    Mar 18 2025
    Men don’t always talk about plastic surgery, but social media has made it more accepted. San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar breaks down the history of male cosmetic procedures, the most popular treatments, and how society perceives men who do them.

    For facial rejuvenation, Dr. Salazar highlights a high-impact combo for men who want to avoid facelift scars: eyelid surgery and the T-Z Plasty. This technique tightens the central neck (goodbye, turkey gobbler) without a long incision. He also shares tips for a smooth recovery, including how to discreetly cover any signs of surgery.

    Find out the best treatment options for common concerns that men have, from HD lipo and male breast reduction to hair restoration.
