Headaches
Medical Weight Loss
If you are planning to lose a significant amount of weight, notify your plastic surgeon, especially if you have noticed that your breasts become smaller with weight loss. Stabilizing one’s weight before undergoing the procedure may be recommended by your surgeon.
Emergency Care
Premiere Plastic Surgery offer emergency service for laceration repair by a plastic surgeon in an office setting. You avoid the hours of waiting in the emergency room.
Pneumonia

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
During the initial consultation, your surgeon will ask for a complete medical history and will conduct a careful examination to evaluate your overall health. After that, the doctor will ask you to describe your concerns with regards to your eyelids. A careful and thorough evaluation of your health will be done before the evaluation of your eyes to check for any other conditions that may bring complications to the upcoming procedure. Examples of these conditions are visual impairment or inadequate tear production, thyroid diseases, allergy and glaucoma. During the consultation, the doctor will also advise you of other appropriate procedures to be able to achieve the best results.

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
It is advised that breast reduction not be done until breast growth has stopped, although this procedure can actually be performed at any age. If you plan to breast feed in the future, it is important that you discuss this first with your plastic surgeon since childbirth and breastfeeding may have major and unpredictable effects on the size and shape of your breasts. On the other hand, many women come to a decision to go through breast reduction before having children thinking that they can address any succeeding changes later.

Ultrasound
This method involves the use of a specialized hand piece and cannula tip connected to an ultra-high-frequency sound wave generator. Vibrations above the range of human hearing (ultrasound) are transmitted to the cannula tip, and fat in the areas of treatment is liquefied and emulsified by bursting of the cell membranes. A separate cannula and low-pressure vacuum are then used to remove the liquefied fat emulsion. This technique is also applied in difficult or secondary cases, but has somewhat greater associated risks.
Mammography
Your surgeon suggests for you to get breast examinations at no cost from our office every 6 to 12 months. Continue breast self-examinations monthly, and have mammograms as recommended by your gynecologist or personal physician, generally yearly after age 40. We do request that you forward copies of all your mammography results to our office.

General Surgery
Originally from Orange County, he attended UCLA for his undergraduate degree in Physiological Sciences before pursuing medical studies at the Baqai Medical College in Pakistan where he finished in the top 5% of his graduating class. Returning to the states for residency, Dr. Ahmed completed the general surgery program at Texas Tech before continuing his postgraduate training at the prestigious Kleinert Institute where he completed their fellowship in hand and microvascular surgery.
Wound Care
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Ahmed is on the teaching staff at Huntington Memorial Hospital where he instructs residents on the plastic surgery service. Additionally, he runs the Wound Care Clinic at Intercommunity Hospital in Covina where he sees uninsured and medically underserved patients.
Joint Replacement
A: Most implants last for 10 to 15 years. Any type of breast implant is subject to wear and tear and deterioration due to aging over time. Like a heart valve or artificial joint replacement, they are not to be expected to last forever. The implants are covered by a manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects, and most companies provide financial assistance for re-operation and implant replacement at no charge in the event of implant failure. However, you may incur other financial costs which are not covered.
Hand Surgery
With a broad array of training in general, plastics, and hand surgery, Dr. Omar Ahmed specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures with a distinct expertise in all aspects of hand surgery including complex secondary reconstruction and trauma.
Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Cox is qualified in the most advanced cosmetic and reconstructive surgery techniques, and is regularly called upon by his peers for his highly specialized skills. In addition, Dr. Cox is a member of the resident teaching faculty at Huntington Memorial Hospital where he helps train the next generation of surgeons on safe, high quality care.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the first and only FDA-approved prescription product that temporarily improves the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and moderate to severe crow’s feet in adults.
Brow Lift
A: If excessive upper eyelid skin and a drooping lateral brow is the reason for the impairment of your vision, blepharoplasty alone will not improve your peripheral vision, a combination of the brow lift and upper blepharoplasty will be required.
Eyelid Surgery
Cheek implants usually take about 30 to 45 minutes. When cheek implants are being placed in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure, such as a Face Lift, Forehead Lift or Eyelid Surgery, the implants may be inserted through the incisions made for those procedures. Otherwise, an incision will be made either inside your upper lip or your lower eyelid. A pocket is then created and an implant is inserted.
Liposuction
You will be asked by your surgeon to point out areas that concern you and would like to see improved. Realistic expectations about what can and cannot achieve by the procedure will be addressed by your surgeon. Liposuction is most successful in people with normal body weight, with good skin tone and those who have isolated unwanted fatty deposits.. If weight gain occurs after liposuction, the fat may be deposited in areas that have not been treated. The procedure can be repeated if necessary.
Breast Augmentation
Breast Enhancement or Augmentation Mammaplasty is one of the most popular surgical procedures requested by women of all ages. It involves the placement of an implant behind the breast tissue of each breast or the underlying chest wall muscle. Breast augmentation gives patients a larger, fuller figure that they desire.
Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction, or Reduction Mammoplasty, involves the removal of fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts and makes them appear smaller, lighter and firmer. Reduction of the size of the areola, the darker skin around the nipple, can also be done. The objective here is to give the breasts a better shape that is in proportion with the rest of the body.
Breast Lift
A: Your breast size will remain stable unless you gain or lose a large amount of weight or if you become pregnant. However, because of gravity and the natural process of aging, your breast size and shape will eventually change. If after several years you are not satisfied with how your breasts appear, a breast lift procedure may be done to re-establish a more youthful shape of your breasts.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that re-shapes the outside of the nose to provide better balance with the rest of the face, and also improves the breathing passages that reduce nasal stuffiness and sinus headaches. The procedure involves correcting the deformities of the nose by removing, re-arranging or re-shaping bone and cartilage.
Breast Reconstruction
Dr. Brian Cox is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Cox is a trusted source for a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures such as: breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast reconstruction; tummy tuck and body contouring; facelift; nose and eyelid surgery; laser resurfacing; hair replacement; scar revision; lip enhancement; and Collagen and Botox injections.
Plastic Surgery
Here at Premiere Plastic Surgery we prioritize helping people look and feel their best. Therefore, we use a multidisciplinary approach to help our patients become the best versions of themselves.
Thigh Lift
Thigh lift is a surgical procedure that is performed to eliminate loose and excessive, or hanging, skin surrounding your thighs and buttocks (Buttock Lift). As a result, skin is firmed up and appearance and texture are improved.
Face Lift
A Face Lift, or Rhytidectomy, is intended to restore a younger appearance by smoothing out and tightening major wrinkles and sagging skin of the face, neck and jawline. The muscles of the face and neck are elevated and secured together with the removal of any excess skin. This helps in maintaining the improvement of the contours of the face and neck. The goal of a face lift is to give you a natural revitalized appearance instead of a look that is overly tight and unnatural.
Neck Lift
Liposuction is not the answer to the laxity of the skin in the treated areas, and in some cases may worsen the appearance of the skin. There are instances where an alternative body contouring surgical procedure may be required, most commonly in combination with liposuction of the involved areas. Abdominoplasty or Lower Body Lift may be required for areas like the abdomen and hip. While the loose skin of the upper arms may require Brachioplasty (arm lift) and the sagging skin of the inner thigh may require thigh lift. A face or neck lift maybe required for a double chin in order to achieve results.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as the Eyelid Lift, is a surgical procedure that aims to restore that youthful appearance to the eyes. It involves the removal of the excess skin, fat or wrinkles around the eyes to give them a more alert, fresh and youthful look.
Abdominoplasty
Commonly known as a Tummy Tuck, abdominoplasty involves the removal of excess fatty tissue and skin, resulting to a firm and smooth abdomen. The procedure entails the removal of excess abdominal skin, reduction of fat below the skin, and if necessary, tightening of the muscles of the abdominal wall.
Body Lift
This procedure works better for patients who have excessive and lax skin on the flanks and hips in addition to the abdomen.
Breast Surgery
Prior to your breast surgery, your board-certified surgeon will carefully evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions that could compromise the outcome of surgery or risk your health. Also, your surgeon will get detailed measurements of your breasts and the quality and quantity of your existing breast tissue to determine the proper choice of breast implant and technique.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty is a procedure used to pin the ears nearer to the head or diminish the appearance of ears that are larger than average. Surgical techniques like cartilage removal and reshaping through an incision done on the back of the ear can be carried out in order to re-establish normal ear shape. Otoplasty may be done on one ear or both ears as needed.
Scar Revision
Body Contouring
A: In the case of younger patients, their skin has sufficient elasticity and resilience so it can shrink and contract nicely over the areas of fat that have been removed. If the skin has been stretched beyond recovery by years of localized fatty excess, liposuction may need to be combined with another body contouring procedure to remove the excess skin.
Laser Resurfacing
For the lower eyelids, excess fat is removed either through the traditional skin-muscle flap technique or through the lining tissue of the lower eyelid, more commonly known as the trans-conjunctival technique. In certain cases, the arcus marginalis release technique is used where the lower eyelid fat is preserved and used to fill the hollow, dark circle or prominent lower border of the bony orbit. The excess lower eyelid skin can then be directly trimmed or resurfaced and tightened using chemical or laser resurfacing techniques.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a medical term rooted from the Greek language which means women-like breasts. This condition actually affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men but to different degrees. There is no singular cause in the vast majority of gynecomastia cases, although certain drugs and medical problems have been linked with male breast over-development.
Cosmetic Surgery
In today’s demanding corporate world, looking your best is essential. This is the reason why an increasing number of men opt to have cosmetic surgery, a trend that studies have proven is associated with career development. A study showed that 84 percent of men surveyed deemed that physical appeal is vital in attaining power and success on the job.
Dermabrasion
A: Generally, no. Improvement of skin laxity, which is a function of aging and hereditary or environmental factors, is done by the face lift surgery. On the other hand, other types of treatment are required for fine wrinkles caused by sun damage. Some of these treatments are chemical peel, laser resurfacing or dermabrasion.
Facial Implants
The Facial Implant Procedure is a surgical procedure that changes the shape and balance of the face by using implants to enhance a receding chin, add prominence to the cheekbones or reshape the jaw line. There are a wide variety of implants available and made from different materials. Facial implants help strengthen a jaw line or bring the chin or cheekbones into balance with the rest of the face.
Chin Augmentation
Your surgeon will take your medical history and ask you questions regarding your general health, especially as it relates to your nose. You will be asked to point out features of your nose that you wish to improve and will perform a gentle examination of the nose, in addition to assessing the skin quality, size and shape of your nose in relation to your other facial features. Photographs and digital images will allow you and our surgeon to evaluate the appropriate procedures that will give you the best results. There are times when other procedures like chin augmentation or lip enhancement may help in achieving a more pleasing appearance and profile.
Forehead Lift

Chemical Peels
In four to seven days, the stitches will be carefully removed. The swelling and bruising may persist for up to 10 days. Women can start wearing makeup to help conceal it after about 5 days, or after healing of the skin is complete, if you have had laser or chemical peel resurfacing of the eyelid skin.
Rashes
Skin Care
Most patients return to work and social activities looking refreshed, with renewed energy and a high self-esteem after the initial healing phase. The healing process of this procedure is gradual so you may continue to notice an improvement in your appearance for up to six months. The longevity of the results is dependent on several factors, including your genetic background, habits (i.e. sun exposure, smoking, alcohol use), and your skin’s pre-existing quality. Your progress will be continually monitored by your surgeon and a program of healthy lifestyle, skin care, and periodic maintenance procedures will be arranged for you to improve the longevity of your result and to keep you looking your best.
