Lawton M.D. Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon

On February 20th, the FDA approved a new anatomically correct breast implant from Allergan, Inc. that is designed to mimic the natural slope of the breast.

"The Natrelle^® 410 shaped gel implant will be a welcome new option for my patients seeking breast augmentation or reconstruction," says Dr. Lawton. "Women seeking breast augmentation now have an alternative to the round implants currently available."

Dr. Lawton, the first plastic surgeon in Orange County to use the new implant, specializes in all areas of cosmetic surgery including breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tucks, facelifts and "mommy makeovers.

"This new implant offers a highly-cohesive silicone gel that will enable it to hold its shape over time while remaining soft to the touch," she said. "It is the most selected shaped gel implant in markets where it is already available, such as Europe and Canada."

"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 the season in Southern California changes from summer to fall, it brings with it the always present Santa Ana winds and a dry heat. All of the wind and dryness can play havoc on your skin, particularly if your skin tends to be sensitive. With that in mind, there are a few tips that you can use to ensure that your skin stays healthy and keeps that great glow!

1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize – All of the dry wind sucks the moisture right out of your skin during these months and the moisturizer regiment you are used to during the summer may not be enough to keep up. With that in mind, find a moisturizer that suits your needs and ensures that your skin stays healthy and moist. Dry skin can cause your pores to increase their oil production which can then lead to a misdiagnosis of oily skin. Keep an eye on the products you are using and be sure they are helping in the correct way, which actually leads to the next point…

2. Evaluate Your Skin – skin is an organ and as such, can change with the season. What may be oily skin during the summer can change to dry during the fall and vice versa. Along with that, just as our taste buds change as we age, so too does our skin change. It’s important to evaluate your skin so that the decisions you make with product and skin care is the best for your current situation.

3. Wear Sunscreen – When the weather cools down, we tend to forget that the sun is still shining just as bright. We’ve all seen people coming back from a day of skiing and snowboarding and their faces are bright pink, except for the raccoon eyes from goggles or glasses, of course! It’s important to always wear some sort of SPF protection whether it’s regular sunscreen or something built into your skincare products. Just because it’s not hot, does not mean you won’t get sunburned.

4. Finally, consider one of my many skincare procedures offered such as BOTOX Cosmetic, injectable fillers, a chemical peel or more.

Keep these tips in mind as we head into the fall season to ensure your skin stays healthy and young!

Thanksgiving is one of those holidays in which we tend to give ourselves a free pass to splurge on eating. However, we don’t fully realize how far we can set ourselves back when we do stuff ourselves with delicious food. Here are a couple tips we can use to limit our intake, eat something a bit healthier, and possibly keep ourselves on track with our health and wellness goals.

1. Do something active in the morning – We all know that the afternoon brings massive amounts delicious food followed by tantalizing desserts. Let’s be honest, we most likely are not going to follow up our pumpkin pie with a 3-mile run. However, if you can be sure to do something active in the morning, burn some early calories, and boost your metabolism, you can be sure that you are doing all in your power to minimize the damage.
2. Be cautious on your portion control – With a wide variety of delicious dishes, there’s no need to abstain from any foods, rather, be cautious in what you pile on the plate. Go easy on the mashed potatoes and gravy, but feel free to stock up on the greens and yams (just not the ones with marshmallows on them). If you are going to eat too much, it’s better to eat too much of a healthy option rather than a non-healthy one.
3. Drink lots of water – If you are filling your tummy with water, there’s not as much room for heavy foods. Try drinking a full glass of water right before you eat. If, after having the meal, you are unsure if you want to eat more, drink another full glass and wait 10 minutes or so. You will be sure to know right away whether or not that extra helping of stuffing is a good idea.

Halloween is nearly upon us, bringing with it the joyful time of dressing up our children in costumes, taking them by the hand and walking from house to house, seeing their faces light up each time they receive a piece of candy in their little bag. Unfortunately, all of this candy brings along tummy aches, cavities and weight gain, especially from the candy we take for ourselves!

There are a few tricks that we can use to be sure that we and our children don’t overindulge in sweets. First, it’s always a good idea to make sure you feed your children before heading out on the streets. This can help to battle initial cravings and snacking as you walk, you’d be surprised at how much candy can disappear as you walk from block to block. Also, it’s always a good idea to hold on to your children’s candy for them after trick or treating and then doling it out a couple pieces at a time. This will prevent your children for gorging themselves on candy as soon as your back is turned. Finally, and most importantly, be sure to always inspect your children’s candy to be sure that it is safe.

With these tips in mind, you can be confident in having a safe and relatively healthy Halloween!

Fall has arrived, bringing with it the windy, chilly weather. Accompanying that colder weather, we traditionally see an increase in the consumption of heavy and unhealthy foods. We love to have something warm, comforting and filling on a chilly fall evening, but that brings along the danger of increased weight gain. Fortunately for us, we live in Southern California where that weather change is not as drastic as in other parts of the US. Because of this, we are able to remain fairly active all year long. I would like to suggest starting now and building good workout habits that can sustain you through the coming months of heavy and hearty meals.

Along with that, I have five great fall foods, suggested by Self, that will give you that comfortable feeling without necessarily bringing along the weight gain.

1. Apples -- Studies have shown that eating apples three times a day may actually contribute to weight loss and fall is the best time to enjoy apples.
2. Beans -- In the fall you will find beans in everything from chili to stews. Beans are a great source of protein and fiber for relatively few calories.
3. Soup -- This warm comfort food is perfect for fall for more than one reason! Research shows that replacing two of your normal daily snacks with a low-calorie soup can lead to up to 50% more weight loss.
4. Oatmeal -- Nothing beats a warm breakfast on a cool fall morning. If you want to prevent winter weight gain, make sure to start out with a hearty breakfast, such as a bowl of oatmeal.
5. Hot Chocolate -- You may not think of hot chocolate as something to prevent winter weight gain, but a cup of hot chocolate made with low-fat milk may be a great lower-calorie way to satisfy a chocolate craving.

Enjoy these delicious fall foods to help yourself stay in shape, but of course, all things in moderation!

Summer is here - which means bikini season has arrived. Make this your last year of feeling self-conscious about your trouble areas. From body contouring to breast augmentation, a little natural enhancement can transform Summer from the season of dread to the season of beauty.

Remember, the sun is the skin's worst enemy. Sunglasses, floppy hats, and of course, sunscreen are a must this Summer. For more tips and beauty news, be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. And, please don’t forget to rate your experience with me.

Here's to a happy, safe and FUN summer ahead.

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

"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.

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 how much of a woman's confidence and self-esteem is based on our feelings about our breasts. It is through this realization that I have dedicated a large portion of my practice to breast augmentation, reductions, lifts and reconstruction. It has been so fulfilling to change women's lives in such a profound way. Learn more about breast augmentation by visiting my website. And be sure to view some galleries of recent patients who have undergone the procedure.
