You could read that headline and visualize some sort of Woodstock reunion or a new staging of that prototypical 70s Broadway show, “Hair.” Nope. Dr. Kearney’s more interested in making this summer the summer where you can start regrowing hair in your thinning areas. He wants this to be your “Summer of Hair.” How does […]
Body Contouring with BodyTite
Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the U.S. But Dr. Kearney believes in taking traditional liposuction to the next level by adding radiofrequency energy. This is called radiofrequency-assisted liposuction and Dr. Kearney offers it in two procedures — BodyTite™ and FaceTite™ — at his San Diego practice. These procedures use radiofrequency […]
Fixing a Prior Rhinoplasty
Dr. Kearney is an accomplished plastic surgeon, double board-certified in plastic surgery and general surgery. He has performed hundreds of facial surgeries in Florida and California in his career. Among those are numerous revision nose surgeries where patients have come to Dr. Kearney after having an unsatisfactory surgery performed elsewhere. Rhinoplasty is a complicated, delicate […]
Tell that Double Chin to Chill Out
As we age and our skin becomes less taut and the muscles beneath lose some of their strength, we develop saggy areas. On the abdomen, you would call this a pooch. Under the jawline, it’s the dreaded double chin. In past blogs, we’ve discussed how Dr. Kearney offers Kybella, an injectable that targets the fat […]
You Don’t Have to Tolerate Sagging Thighs
If you’ve lost a lot of weight, or if you put on and then lost a good deal of weight with a pregnancy, there’s a good chance your upper thighs aren’t what they once were. It’s difficult, if not impossible, for the skin to return to its former tautness after a large change in weight. […]
Get Those Arms Ready for Summer
The skin. It’s the body’s largest organ, so it should get some respect. But it sure is susceptible to the passage of time and the effects of gravity. Your upper arms aren’t immune. As you age, particularly if you’ve gained and lost a good deal of weight, the elasticity in the skin and support tissue […]
Better IPL with Lumecca
You’ve probably heard of Intense Pulse Light (IPL). Similar to laser energy, IPL is different because it delivers a wider bandwidth of light energy than the single bandwidth delivered by lasers. This allows IPL to treat a wider variety of skin issues at one time. But Dr. Kearney doesn’t like to walk in place — […]
Allergan Textured Implants and Cancer
On March 21, 2017, the U.S. FDA made a safety announcement about a link between textured breast implants and a very rare form of cancer: anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. In the announcement, the FDA called the cancer “breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Since then, the ante has been upped. On May 28 of last year, […]
Have You Heard of Ideal Implants?
At Dr. Kearney’s we have patients who are interested in adding volume and shape to their breasts, but they’re not keen on using silicone implants to do so. Although they’ve heard silicone provides a more natural feeling result and doesn’t come with some of the problems with saline implants (such as rippling), they’re concerned about […]
Two Ways to a Tighter Tummy
Unless you’re 21 or are able to spend half of every single day working out, odds are you’re not thrilled with your lower abdomen. Especially as we age, our stomach muscles and support tissues weaken and allow a pooch to form. And don’t even ask what pregnancy and childbirth do to the muscles down there. […]
