Golden State Plastic Surgery

One thing patients don't always expect after significant weight loss in a short period of time is extra skin laxity.

Dr. Shih explains that when weight comes off quickly, the skin doesn't always get the chance to rebound the way it would with a slower change. That is where body contouring comes in.

These procedures are designed to remove that excess skin and recreate a natural, sculpted contour, precision work built around the body's shape rather than the number on a scale ✨

Dr. Seth takes the time to understand what feels right for your face specifically, then builds a plan around it 👃

This patient underwent rhinoseptoplasty to provide a nose that not only breathes well but also fits ideally with the other facial features.

If there's something about your nose you've been wanting to change, that's exactly what a consultation is for.

Neurotoxin, like Botox or Dysport, temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to soften dynamic lines, the ones that show up from repeated expression like frowning or squinting 💉

Dr. Zhuang uses it to create a refreshed, rested look without any surgical downtime.

It's not about freezing expression. It's about softening the lines that come from it.

Liposuction removes stubborn, diet and exercise resistant fat. It's not designed to treat skin laxity, and that's one of the most common misconceptions patients bring into consultation.

If loose or lax skin is part of what you're seeing, that calls for a different approach entirely. Dr. Shih builds each treatment plan around what a patient's body actually needs, not a single procedure applied to every concern ✨

A major transformation 🤍

This patient received Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS).

A softened brow bone, a refined jawline, and fuller lips come together to create a completely different facial harmony, a full change rather than a single subtle adjustment.

Swelling is still present in the early months after surgery, and definition continues to develop as tissues settle. Over time, contours become smoother and the results settle into a look that feels natural and fully integrated with the face.

Dr. Seth's approach is built around proportion across the whole face, and here the combined effect is dramatic. Full results can take a year or more depending on the procedures performed, and healing timelines vary from patient to patient.

The question Meri hears more than any other at the front desk: do I really need to wear sunscreen? The answer is always yes!

Daily SPF is one of the simplest habits that supports skin quality over time, whatever else is on your skincare routine or treatment plan.

Small habit, real difference 🌞

The concern we hear most in rhinoplasty consultations isn't really about size. It's proportion 👃

This patient came to Dr. Seth after a medical condition weakened the structural support of her nose, causing it to cave inward over time.

This patient underwent reconstructive rhinoplasty using rib bone and cartilage to rebuild the nose's entire support structure.

Dr. Seth's approach worked with what remained of her existing anatomy, reconstructing the framework rather than just adjusting the surface.

The surgery restored a balanced profile, a straighter bridge line, and a tip that sits in line with the rest of her face, while also giving the nose long-term structural support it had lost.
