Lawton M.D. Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon

What’s Hot & What’s Not
New Year, New You – The Trends in Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery

Newport Beach, Calif. –Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Tenley Lawton, based in Orange County - the cosmetic and plastic surgery capital of United States – has seen surprising trends gaining momentum in the industry. From Bro-tox and breast downsizing to technological advances in the industry, cosmetic and plastic surgery undergoes a facelift of its own.

“More than ever before, we’ve seen some unique changes in the industry. The over- done, over fixed look that stigmatized plastic surgery in the past, is giving way to a more natural less invasive approach,” says Dr. Lawton.

Dr. Lawton shares the top trends she is seeing in her practice:

Trend #1: Non-Surgical Facelifts

We have realized women who take care of themselves in their 30’s-40’s can avoid major surgical facelifts in their 50’s and 60’s. From liquid treatments such as Botox, Juvederm and Restalyne to lasers that have gained respect and FDA approval, women are avoiding more major surgical treatments, allowing less downtime and a more natural, softer effect.

Trend #2: Bro-Tox

Wrinkles are not sexist. Men have jumped on the Botox train more than ever and the trend will gain momentum in 2012. Dubbed Bro-Tox, men have turned to Botox to help stay current in the job workplace as well as the dating world. The key to Bro-tox is to not overdo it. Staying distinguished but not frozen is key.

Trend #3: Vectra Technology

My most favorite trend of 2012 is the influx of technology in the cosmetic and plastic surgery industry. VECTRA XT 3D is the latest and most advanced imaging system to help patients visualize their procedure outcome by taking high definition photos of the patients and allowing manipulation to determine a final representation of the post-surgery results.

Trend #4: Breast Downsizing

While breast augmentation continues to be the most popular surgical procedure, women are returning to a more natural size. B and C cups are gaining more popularity than the past where D and DD+ were more desired. Women that have previously had large implants are asking for them to be removed or downsized.

Trend #5: Divorcee Surgery

Women re-entering the dating world after 10, 15, 20 years are finding it hard to compete with younger women in the dating pool. Many women who have divorced or been widowed are seeking breast lifts, tummy tucks, and facelifts to give them a more youthful appearance and the confidence to re-enter the dating world.

Latest 3D Technology Infiltrates the Plastic Surgery Industry
Newport Beach, Calif. Based Dr. Tenley Lawton Now Offers New Imaging System

Newport Beach, Calif. –Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Tenley Lawton has welcomed the latest technology to her practice. The VECTRA XT-3D is the most advanced system to demonstrate a visual representation of post-surgery results. From Rhinoplasty, Chin Augmentation, Injectables, Lifts, Facial Contouring, Tummy Tucks, Breast Augmentation and more, the system takes high-definition photography of a patient and then allows Dr. Lawton to adjust the photo and showcase a representation of the final results.

VECTRA XT-3D is the most advanced imaging system available and provides a real- time guide through an informed consultation. The system offers side-by-side views of before/after, automated breast measurements for discussion of planning and asymmetry, virtual clothing module for a lifestyle view of the outcome, and implant volume adjustment allowing fine-tuning a patient’s goals.

“I have been reluctant in the past to introduce an imaging software in my practice as frankly many have not been an accurate portrayal of the results. VECTRA is the first imaging system of its kind. It allows me to work with my patients and customize the procedure together to ensure optimal results,” says Dr. Lawton.

"I just received a tummy tuck and breast augmentation from Dr. Lawton. I have never had surgery before. I was terrified. Dr. Lawton made me feel so comfortable. The female intuition and the instant comfort I felt during my first consultation, carried through to my post-operative care. I felt like I was in the hands of a trusted friend. And, I'm THRILLED by my results." - Natalie

 "Dr. Lawton has become my therapist. She has helped me overcome my insecurities while staying "natural" looking. The other doctors I saw made me feel like they wanted to augment me to be this cookie cutter image of perfect. Dr. Lawton, wanted to naturally enhance the things that make me, well, me.  I'm so happy with my rhinoplasty and liposuction."  - Kate K.

As we head into the holiday heavy fall and winter, oftentimes we find ourselves overindulging in the sweets of the season. With Halloween candy, Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner, over-eating seems to have become the norm in the USA, and let’s be honest, we work hard all year and deserve a break! The only problem is this tends to lead to weight gain throughout this season. One of the best ways to combat this is to walk. Personally, I find walking on a treadmill to be quite boring, but being a plastic surgeon in Orange County’s Newport Beach, there are plenty of places to take a hearty stroll whether it be along the bike path ranging from Balboa to Huntington Beach, or the Back Bay.

There are quite a few benefits to walking as opposed to running. Running can be daunting and seem overwhelming which makes you less likely to begin in the first place. Walking, however, is something that we do every day and does not require as much of a difference between our everyday lives. There are a few tips and tricks to help with this endeavor:

1. The Right Shoes – The proper footwear is essential as uncomfortable shoes that keep your feet out alignment can cause all sorts of foot, knee and even back problems.
2. Stretch – Even though you are only walking and it doesn’t seem like you would need to stretch, stretching before and after you walk is important to avoid injury and increase flexibility.
3. Elevate Your Heart Rate – When walking, you don’t want to walk at your normal pace. Pick it up just a bit so that your heart rate can increase which increases the calories burned and works out your heart.
4. Cool Down – It’s important, in any exercise regiment, to cool down upon completion. This reduces stress on your heart and your muscles.
5. Drink Lots of Water – Drinking water is incredibly important as it keeps you hydrated and can reduce soreness

With these tips you can feel prepared for the impending holidays and not feel as guilty when you ask for that extra piece of pumpkin pie! Be sure to stop by the Lawton MD Facebook page  and the Lawton MD website for more information regarding your next cosmetic surgery in Newport Beach and for more health and wellness information.

As the leaves turn colors and air cools to welcome Fall, I welcome you to visit for a complimentary consultation. Now is the optimal time to consider enhancements to help you shine before the holidays. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Warm Wishes,
Dr. Tenley Lawton, M.D.

"I have three kids, all of which I nursed for 12 months each. 36 months! After the last baby, my breasts were unrecognizable. My breast lift with implants has given me so much self-confidence. It was the best decision I ever made!" - Jessica A

Breast Augmentation

I began my career specializing in breast reconstruction. Working with cancer survivors has been a powerful experience through which I've become acutely aware of the correlation between a women's confidence and her feelings about her breasts. It is through this realization that I have dedicated a large portion of my practice to breast augmentation, reductions and lifts. It has been so fulfilling to change women's lives in such a profound way.

For younger women whose breasts did not develop into a preferred cup size, breast augmentation allows a natural enhancement to the bustline - increasing cup size, and balancing the breasts with the rest of the body.

For middle-aged women, over the years, factors such as gravity, pregnancy, nursing, and weight loss take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and begin to sag. A breastlift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to restore a more youthful shape and position to sagging breasts. Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume breast implants can be inserted at the time of mastopexy to increase both their firmness and their size.

"I'm 25 years old, and have never been happy with my breast. One was slightly bigger than the other - but still an A cup. I was always embarrassed by them especially in the dating world. I had an augmentation and now have perfect breasts...I mean PERFECT. A perfect size C. Happier than ever!" - Sloan

"Bathing suit season is when my self-esteem is the lowest. This year, I've decided to change that and had liposuction on my tummy, flanks and back. It has already changed my life. And, now, can't wait to wear my new bikini!" - Jennifer A.

Body Contouring

One of my specialties is body contouring - it helps me appreciate the art form of the human body. Enhancing the curves and optimal shape of a person's individual body is perhaps one of the best artistic representations of cosmetic surgery. Patients instantly feel beautiful - their clothes fit better; they can wear the trends the always loved; they stand straight, tall and proud and exude a new self-confidence.

Liposuction leaves little to no scarring and is relatively inexpensive. A simple pin-prick incision and a few weeks of soreness, is well-worth the radiance that patients project following the procedure.
