Varicose Vein Treatment at Beverly Hills Vein Clinic
Dr. Jay Calvert - Vein Clinic of Beverly Hills at Rox Center
Treatment of Large Varicose Veins
August 4, 2014
Beverly Hills, CA - Dr. Travis Kidner has opened the Vein Clinic of Beverly Hills at the Rox Center. His experience with vascular surgery and his place among the experts of the Rox Center has made him the natural choice for the patients of Los Angeles for their varicose vein treatments. At the Rox Center, the Rox Spa has been able to treat spider veins and pigmented flat vascular lesions. However, the large, unsightly, and sometimes painful veins have been elusive for the team. Now, Dr. Kidner is able to treat these problems with his minimally invasive technique.
Dr. Kidner is skilled in the the Venefit procedure using radio frequency ablation of the varicose veins. This technology is the same technology used in the treatment of enlarged inferior turbinates, the Acessa procedure for uterine fibroids, and the Aceent procedure for shrinking fat of the belly and other parts of the body. Radiofrequency is quite effective and safe - no more cutting the leg in multiple places. The Venefit procedure is a closed procedure done with an intravascular catheter.
Dr. Kidner works closely with the Rox Spa team to also manage the small vessels and get legs cleaned up from all of these vascular problems. Many patients need both the large vessels treated and small vessels injected. For a consultation, please call the office at 310-275-5074 and visit the website at http://veinclinicofbeverlyhills.com.
I am proud to have Dr. Kidner on the team for all of his surgical expertise and his commitment to patient care. He is a real expert and is technically gifted. We look forward to seeing you in the office.

Comic Con and Realself.com - Along with Dr. Jay Calvert
Dr. Jay Calvert
Plastic Surgeon in Beverly Hills
This weekend, I had the distinct pleasure of working with the people from Realself.com. This website has taken plastic surgery information to a new level. I am very impressed with their commitment to providing the right information to the patient from the right plastic surgeons. This is something that concerns all Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, Facial Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists, and Occuloplastic Surgeons. Thus, it was fun to add some insight and gain some myself, on the topic of superhero bodies.
It is true that the superhero body in the comic books and in film has changed over time. We discussed this at length and I am looking forward to the way it gets put together for their piece. In general, though, we all think that the superhero body is unattainable except by those who really push the envelope. Plastic Surgery can be a part of it, but mostly, I believe it starts with diet and exercise. Not fun! But this is what it takes.
We discussed the operations most employed to get the 'superhero' look. Chin implants, rhinoplasty, liposuction, facelifts, and body implants of all types were on the agenda. Amazing examples have been seen throughout the years, including the most recent example of the human Ken Doll on the hit show, Botched!. All is well and good if you start with a surgically good palate. But if the starting point is not great, then it makes it hard to reach superhero status with surgery alone.
The other topic that was interesting and also needs to be addressed is the fact that many people are using human growth hormone and testosterone to keep their body fat lower and increase muscle mass. These are medications that need to evaluated on a case by case basis for every patient is different with a different set of issues. No way to know what is right for anyone of us without the advice of a physician that is used to prescribing these meds on a regular basis.
So look for the piece on http://realself.com sometime in the fall.

Pittsburgh Plastic Surgery Alumni Weekend
Last week, I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with the University of Pittsburgh Department of Plastic Surgery where I trained in plastic surgery over a decade ago. It was an incredible experience to look around the room at the number of current leaders in plastic surgery as well as the soon to be future leaders of our specialty. It was the resident and fellow graduation and what an auspicious event!

Uterine Fibroid Treatment with RFA to Help Avoid Hysterectomy
Dr. Bruce Lee
Minimally Invasive Treatment for Fibroids
Beverly Hills, CA
This is a bit different for me to be writing about the uterus. However, I feel the need to let my patients know that there is a new doctor, Dr. Bruce Lee, who has brought a novel, safe, and effective procedure for the fibroid uterus to Rox Center. Dr. Lee has spent the better part part of his last seven years working on adapting radio frequency energy to the treatment of uterine fibroids. This treatment was developed after the popular liver tumor rfa was seen to be very effective at shrinking liver metastasis (tumors in the liver that came from usually a cancer of the GI tract).
Dr. Bruce Lee is a pioneer. Working with Halt Medical, the company that he and his partners founded to perfect fibroid rfa treatments, he was able to definitively create an FDA approved treatment that is now becoming commonplace. Dr. Bruce Lee is now working at the Rox Center in Beverly Hills. He is there to perform this procedure, also known as the Acessa Procedure, only. He is a true specialist having developed the instrumentation, the treatment protocols, and has performed the clinical trials himself.
If you would like to hear more about this ground breaking procedure, please go to the website at http://www.fibroidrfa.com or call the office at 1-844-223-7721.

Dr. Jay Calvert Comments on Rib Cartilage Grafts in Rhinoplasty
More and more, we are seeing the use of rib cartilage as a donor site for cartilage in secondary rhinoplasty and some complex primary nasal operations. The latest publication by Dr. Rollin Daniel, Dr. Anita C. Patel, and Dr. Jay Calvert shows how rib cartilage (or costal cartilage) grafts have become more common such that revisions of these previously thought 'definitive' operations are becoming more frequent.
Many patients ask, "Why use the rib cartilage? Can't you just use the ear cartilage?" This is a great question and I believe that there must be a good reason to take rib cartilage. The most common reason I have is that rib cartilage is stronger and more reliable in my hands OVER TIME. I believe that ear cartilage is good initially more many secondary nasal operations, but OVER TIME, the scar contracture ultimately wins and distorts the nose and the cartilage. I have many secondary rhinoplasty and tertiary rhinoplasty patients that come and see me in my Beverly Hills office from all over the world complaining that their nose looked good initially, but then over time, the shape changed and they feel they now need a rib cartilage graft to fix the problem.
Another point is that many patients believe that rib cartilage harvests will be more painful than the ear cartilage harvest. That may be true in some cases and not true in others. In any event, the choice for cartilage donor sites should be made based on WHAT IS NEEDED to do the secondary rhinoplasty with the best chance of success. I would not recommend selecting convenience over results.
For more information on the topic, see the website http://www.drcalvert.com or call the office at 310.777.8800 and ask to speak with one of our patient care coordinators or physician assistants.
