    Your Wellness and Aesthetics

    Motykie Med Spa is dedicated to providing state of the art aesthetic, skin care, anti-aging, and fat reduction treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, West Hollywood and surrounding areas. One of the most sought after non-invasive procedures offered at the medical spa is CoolSculpting. For a new patient, an excellent way to learn and gain real insights about a procedure can be when a past patient is willing to open their heart and share their actual experience and results about the procedure.

    Hylan’s Experience

    Hylan is a Los Angeles, CA based individual who, at one time, weighed 306 pounds, and was concerned about the appearance of love handles and excess fat deposits in his lower abdominal area. Hylan decided to go ahead with CoolSculpting at Motykie Med Spa, which is led by the reputed plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie.

    Hylan was seeking a supportive procedure that could help provide a boost to his commitment to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. He did not wish to go through an invasive surgery procedure, and was determined to improve his diet and exercise so that he would be able to maintain the results of a non-invasive procedure for the long-term.

    The team of experts, led by Dr. Motykie, at Motykie Med Spa carefully tried to understand the needs, goals, and aspirations of Hylan with regard to his body appearance, and his commitment to maintain a healthy lifestyle following a non-invasive fat reduction procedure.

    Fat Reduction with CoolSculpting

    The team at Motykie Med Spa, after a detailed deliberation and a close evaluation of Hylan’s condition and mindset, decided to recommend CoolSculpting procedure. Hylan managed to achieve a significant reduction in the appearance of love handles. Within a few weeks, he was able to notice a 25 percent reduction in his lower abdomen, which was his major cause of concern.

    This was Hylan’s first experience with CoolSculpting, and the results were astonishingly positive. More importantly, the outcome with CoolSculpting helped build Hylan’s confidence in his own ability to maintain his overall appearance and fitness levels. CoolSculpting provided the much-needed boost to push him to adopt an active lifestyle and follow a healthy and balanced diet.

    The highlight of Hylan’s case was that his commitment to maintain a regular regimen of diet and exercise performed the real magic, while CoolSculpting provided the proverbial “cherry on top.” Hylan has been highly satisfied with his experience at Motykie medical spa. He is particularly grateful to the friendly and caring staff that made his overall experience completely worthwhile.

    Recovery Experience

    One of the best things about CoolSculpting is that the procedure does not involve any cuts, incisions or even injections. A mild level of discomfort in the treated area may be experienced by some patients initially, but it is not something that can cause a specific hindrance to work or pose any risk. Dr. Motykie and his team were always available at the med spa to provide reassurance to Hylan during his recovery phase. All he needed was advil and cortisone cream during the recovery period to achieve better comfort.

    When it comes to anti-aging, it’s far too easy for many of us to buy into the latest craze promising quick results.  Should you be considering a cosmetic procedure to achieve your results? In this RealSelf.com article, Dr. Motykie offers his advice on finding a plastic surgeon, as well as the things you should absolutely avoid.

His rule #1: Don’t bargain shop for parachutes or plastic surgery. He points out when it comes to online ratings there’s lots of misinformation about surgeons in the digital world — don’t depend on the same type of review system that is used to rate movies or restaurants to rate your doctor. Read the full article here: www.realself.com

    Ever since the establishing of his plastic surgery practice, Dr. Gary Motykie has consistently remained in touch with various community issues, and made contributions in several ways. He is motivated by the idea of using his skills and experience to provide a healing touch to those in need wherever possible. This passion became a foundation for the establishment of “The Healing Curve,” a nonprofit organization that Dr. Motykie formed in 2008.

    Dr. Motykie felt inspired to launch The Healing Curve following his appearance in the episodes of E! Entertainment’s popular TV show Dr. 90210. During the filming of these episodes, Dr. Motykie performed reconstructive breast surgeries to restore the physical and emotional well-being and rebuild the confidence of women who had survived breast cancer.

    Key Role of the Organization

    The Healing Curve has been set up to perform a key role of providing medical support to women who have beaten breast cancer, but are left to struggle with the post-op challenges of breast tissue loss and scars. This can occur following a mastectomy or breast removal procedure to treat the patient and save her life.

    The Healing Curve provides financial assistance and other forms of support to enable these patients undergo corrective surgeries to address the physical deformities that may have occurred as an outcome of cancer, severe injury, previous unsuccessful surgeries, and/or birth deformities.

    Financial Support for Breast Reconstruction

    The Healing Curve came into being with the primary goal of providing reconstructive surgical procedures to breast cancer survivors. A number of patients who undergo breast cancer surgery may be left feeling inadequate following the primary surgery because they cannot afford secondary procedures to complete the reconstruction and restore the aesthetics. Insurance companies usually cover the initial costs of breast reconstruction, but may not cover secondary surgeries.

    This is where The Healing Curve makes effective interventions to help those who do not have the financial means to bear the costs of these secondary procedures. In Dr. Motykie’s own words: “I started The Healing Curve to help those women who have won the battle against breast cancer but have lost their breasts, their femininity and their self-esteem in the process. These women have already been through so much with cancer itself; they deserve the best possible breast reconstruction that plastic surgery can offer.”

    Expanding the Scope

    Once The Healing Curve organization was on its feet, Dr. Motykie quickly found out that the need for such surgeries extended beyond just the breast cancer survivors. The organization decided to reach out to all survivors who may have suffered a physical deformity arising from an earlier surgery, serious injury or illness, or congenital defects.

    Dr. Motykie’s original goal to perform breast cancer procedures on the Dr. 90210 series was to allow people to know how plastic surgery can restore hope in the lives of the patients. However, the show’s overwhelming response led the organization to embrace all patients who had suffered physical deformities due to any reasons, and were facing financial constraints to overcome those deformities through surgery.

    What do you do in the medical spa?

    My goal as director of the Motykie MedSpa is to give patient other treatment options besides plastic surgery to look and feel rejuvenated. The time has come to combine the East and West philosophies of cosmetic medicine and wellness.  These professions have traditionally been seen as adversarial instead of symbiotic. I personally feel that these treatment modalities combined in tandem will amplify aesthetic outcomes and magnify patient’s beauty from within the body.  The future of anti-aging is not in a capsule or a jar, its learning how to listen to our bodies and keep an open mind in regards to treatments that may offer benefits outside of the realm of tangible scientific evidence.

    2. In a recent article you talked about the grouponization of anti-aging and wellness, how does this trend affect consumers and doctors?

    As soon as medicine becomes a business, profits become more important than the patients. Unfortunately, like all of business, you will ultimately get what you pay for in the end. If a patient chooses to bargain shop for their wellness treatments by searching for deals and coupons, they may end up paying with their health which is far more devastating than paying a little bit more money for a quality service at a reputable doctor’s office.

    3. You also mentioned the success of non-invasive technologies such as radio frequency, skin tightening, fat freezing and laser skin rejuvenation, have you heard of any new discoveries or technologies that surprise you recently?

    There will always be a “new” technology on the horizon that is faster, cheaper and better. The real question is if the technology is effective and safe.  I am not surprised by the “newest” technology but I am excited by the effectiveness and safety of the newer radiofrequency and laser devices that allow for visible results with minimal downtime. As we move into the future we may see an end of liposuction and facelift surgeries due to the rapid advances in skin tightening and cool sculpting technologies.

    4. If a woman is thinking about having a plastic surgery, what are the three decision-making factors that she should consider?

    There are three important questions to answer before undergoing cosmetic surgery: Is it right for me? How do I find a competent surgeon? Is the surgical facility properly equipped for safety?

    To help figure out if plastic surgery is a reasonable option for you, take a hard look at yourself and determine if your goals are realistic. Plastic surgery can do many wonderful things, but there are limits.

    Contrary to mainstream media, plastic surgery results should optimally be very natural and undetectable.  It is not intended to make you look different, strange or like your favorite Hollywood movie star. What it can do is make you look younger, refreshed and more beautiful when performed for the right reasons.  Make sure your motivation for surgery is based on how you feel about yourself and definitely not to satisfy someone else’s desires.  No one else can see what you see when you look in the mirror and most friends and sometimes loved ones cannot understand why you would go through surgery when they love you just the way you are.  Remember, contrary to popular belief, most successful plastic surgery is done in spite of social pressures, not because of them.

    Now that you have made the choice to have surgery, how do you find a competent surgeon?  There are many sources for locating a plastic surgeon including advertisements, televised media and the internet. However, while many excellent surgeons use these services to attract and inform patients, they are all also unregulated so they are typically more of an infomercial than a testament to the surgeon’s true skill set and experience. So don’t depend upon these sources alone. Check on the doctors training, board certification, society memberships and online reputation. The gold standard for surgeon credentials is certification by a specialty board that is a member of The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). A board-certified surgeon has gone through extensive, well-regulated and monitored training, and has passed a set of rigorous examinations in order to be part of an elite group of highly educated, skilled and ethical doctors. There are many so-called “Boards” that are inventions of less-well-trained doctors in which the training is neither regulated nor monitored. These pseudo-boards are not recognized by the ABMS.

    The main guardian of patient protection from incompetence is the hospital with which your doctor is affiliated. As many plastic surgery procedures are done in a surgical center or a well-equipped office surgery, check to see if the surgeon that you choose also has privileges to perform these same surgeries in a local hospital. Lastly, be sure that the operating facility where your surgery is to be performed is certified by one of three or four certifying organizations to be sure that it meets all safety standards. The major accrediting body is the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF).

    5. If she is considering alternatives to a surgery, where can she start looking?

    An accredited medical spa is a good place to start learning about alternatives to plastic surgery because they can offer non-invasive treatments such as Botox, injectables and lasers that can improve your appearance without the need for surgery or time off work. These “lunchtime” procedures offer quick results with minimal risk of swelling and bruising. There is even “lunchtime” liposuction now which is performed through freezing of the fat cells using the CoolSculpting system. The procedure takes about one hour to perform and is essentially painless. The newest radiofrequency skin tightening platforms also allow for alternatives to traditional facelifts and can help to tighten and smooth out the skin almost anywhere on the body without the need for surgery.

    6. In your experience with women, does the skin type or ethnicity matter at the moment of having surgery?

    Skin type and ethnicity can be a factor in deciding whether or not to have certain surgical procedures. The main issue is scarring due to the fact that darker skin tone patients may form thicker and/or darker scars (ie. hyperpigmentation). Prior to considering surgery most patients already now if they have problems with forming thicker scars based on how childhood scars healed as well as scars from other possible surgical procedures or such simple things as prior ear piecing. If you have a history of forming thicker and/or darker scars procedures such as breast lifts, tummy tucks or facelifts that involve longer scars should try to be avoided in favor of procedures that involve fewer scars. The good news is that scar prevention and treatment therapies have improved dramatically over the past several years so that even in patients that tend to form thicker scars combined treatment modalities have vastly improved the final appearance of many surgical scars.

    7. What are the three most common risks of surgeries?

    The three most common risks following surgery are discomfort, bruising/swelling and fatigue. Most other risks are very uncommon. You should expect some discomfort after surgery that can be elevated with commonly prescribed pain medications from your surgeon. Swelling and bruising after surgery is common and expected. Be sure to schedule enough time of off work to allow resolution of the majority of the swelling and some herbal products such as Arnica and Bromelien have been shown to speed up the healing process after surgery. Expect to be tired after surgery because your body is using its energy to heal itself. Make sure to get plenty of rest, drink lots of water and get up every once in a while to walk around for your piece of mind and to improve the circulation in your lower legs.

    8.  Is it possible to have the wrong motivations to have a procedure? In what cases is advisable not to have it?

    While it is true that studies have shown that cosmetic surgery can improve self-esteem, you must have a realistic self-image to begin with. For instance, some patients have wanted a nose job since they were teens, a flaw has always bothered them, and now they want to correct it. A patient may want to reduce wrinkles with laser resurfacing later in life. These are examples of healthy motivations for surgery. Particularly if the patient has a strong sense of self to begin with, and this one aspect of his or her appearance is eroding their self-esteem.  Other patients my just want a boost; they feel good about themselves but after doing their research  have concluded a procedure would make them feel even better about themselves. For instance, a woman may want breast augmentation of one or two sizes to further enhance her beauty, or a breast reduction because of back and neck pain. A man may want a brow lift to look a bit younger. These too are realistic and healthy reasons for seeking elective surgery. Realistic expectations are the core of a healthy decision making process.

    On the other hand, there are reasons, you may not want to seek cosmetic surgery. If you are in the middle of a crisis you may need to heal emotionally before you consider cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is never an answer to emotional turmoil. In fact, it is best to have a healthy mental outlook if you want cosmetic surgery. A good surgeon will likely dig a bit to find out the motivations behind you getting your “work” done. Why? It’s a major concern if a patient thinks having a stronger chin, smaller thighs, or a bump-less nose will usher a cheating ex (or a particular job promotion) into their corner. In fact, I turn down a fair number of people who come in for consultation, not because of their physical health, but because they have unrealistic expectations. For example, a woman may want a facelift because her husband is having an affair with a younger woman. I could do the surgery and get an amazing result but there’s a risk that she’s not going to be happy because I can’t give her what she truly wants which is her husband back.”

    Your doctor also wants to know how much time you spend thinking about your appearance – is it more than an hour a day? Have you ever skipped a social event to “hide” yourself? And last, have you undergone multiple procedures (from different doctors) to “fix” areas like your hairline, nose, breasts, or belly?  Affirmative answers to these questions may signal a deeper mental health issue, like body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). BDD is characterized by an unrelenting obsession to “fix” a perceived flaw that is often seen as minor or is even undetectable by others. Though the flaws may seem minor, those who suffer from BDD are experiencing real distress over their appearance — and this may drive them to never-ending hours of exercise, layer upon layer of makeup, avoidance (or obsession) with mirrors, and/or the nagging feeling that bigger implants or just one more syringe of Restylane will solve everything. Though BDD is a term that is somewhat carelessly thrown around popular culture today (much like OCD) it’s important to note that BDD is a relatively rare condition that affects only 5 to 15 percent of the population. Treatment for BDD happens outside of the operating room, and often includes medications and psychological counseling.

    It’s normal for your physician to ask what brought you in, and I always encourage patients to bring in pictures of the results they desire. More than once I’ve had a patient bring in a picture of something that could never be achieved.  I think the greatest source of unhappiness for a patient after plastic surgery is that of unrealistic expectations so a surgeon who is candid about saying they may not be comfortable performing your surgery is probably doing exactly what he/she was trained to do. Be a good doctor. Your surgeons job is to decide if what you want can realistically be done — and be done in a safe way with a high chance of success. Good surgeons turn down patients all the time. It’s the not-so-good ones who would be willing to do anything for a fee.

    Dr Gary Motykie Breast Augmentation Plastic Surgeon Beverly Hills | Los AngelesAre you considering a breast augmentation procedure? If you are, it is extremely important for you to know all about the procedure, the complications involved as well as to find a good cosmetic surgeon who is a highly skilled specialist in breast augmentation.

    Breast augmentation surgery also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a kind of plastic surgery for breast implants usually to increase fullness, change the shape or texture or improve symmetry of the breasts.

    Find the right cosmetic surgeon

    Whether your plastic surgery is a primary breast augmentation or a complicated breast reconstruction, you will be most confident when you know you are in safe and skillful hands of an experienced cosmetic surgeon. For a long time, cosmetic surgery was reserved for the rich and image conscious, today it is more a common and quite popular procedure. Due to its popularity, a lot of doctors claim themselves to be plastic surgeons. It is extremely important that you make sure you research well and talk to people who have has a breast implant before. Word-of-mouth referral from a satisfied customer is one of the best recommendations.

    Once you have a list of cosmetic surgeons, you should try finding out if they are properly trained and have ample experience. It is a good idea to schedule an initial consultation, which is generally free of charge with the surgeons. Don’t hesitate to ask questions during the initial consultation. You will feel more confident once you know your surgeons qualifications and experience.

    What to ask

    Questions like whether the surgeon is certified by a recognized board, number of surgeries and kinds of surgeries performed in the past, hospital privileges at an accredited facility etc are important. You should try to look at his work which is usually in the form of catalogues with before-and-after photos. You could also watch videos on breast implant surgery to get a better idea about the procedure.

    It is not only important to learn about your surgeon’s qualifications and experience but also his willingness to understand your expectations and desires. One of the leading cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills,West Hollywood and Los Angeles, Dr. Gary Motykie who is also affiliated with the Plastic Surgery Research Council believes that patient satisfaction is very important.

    Once you are confident about your plastic surgeon, you can schedule another appointment to find out more about the procedure. Make sure you know the different types of implants on the offer and what would be most suitable for you; also, if the breast size you have in mind will suit your body frame. Don’t forget to ask questions relating to pregnancy and implants as well as risks and complications involved with breast implant surgery

    Remember, the clearer you are about the procedure, risks and recovery, the more confident you’ll be when you go in for surgery. So make sure you communicate your feelings to your cosmetic surgeon and do your homework before deciding on any kind of cosmetic surgery.

    An experienced fat grafting plastic surgeon will understand the importance of using proven, standardized techniques for facial fat grafting in order to achieve optimal outcomes. If the surgeon manages to standardize the basic steps for harvesting, purifying, and injecting the fat grafts, the results can be more predictable and matching with the patient’s aesthetic goals. Some of the key steps that should be standardized in facial fat grafting are as follows:

    • As far as possible, the surgeon should opt for general anesthesia to perform the facial fat grafting procedure. This avoids the possibility of destruction of adipose derived stem cells due to local anesthetics containing lidocaine as well as risk to smooth blood supply that is important for grafting.
    • Fat removal should be performed using traditional liposuction techniques rather than laser or ultrasound based techniques. This will ensure better safety of fat cells that need to be harvested.
    • Fat harvesting and purification should be performed delicately, applying minimal pressure in order to preserve the integrity of fat cells.
    • Fat transfer using injections should be performed immediately so that the fat cells are not destroyed in absence of blood supply.
    • Outcomes can be more natural looking if the surgeon places fat micro-droplets in multiple layers of the face. More effective blood supply is ensured with this technique, and the longevity of fat cells is improved.
    • Frozen compressions in the treated area should be avoided because freezing temperatures may kill the harvested fat cells.
    • A large part of the post-op swelling will resolve quickly if the head of the bed is elevated for the first few days.
    • Fat-burning exercising should be avoided for the first few weeks following surgery so that the newly grafted fat cells are preserved.

    Patients should choose a plastic surgeon with sufficient experience in facial fat grafting in order to achieve outstanding and salient aesthetic results.
