The colorful and crisp season of autumn is appearing on the horizon as the sleepy days of summer fade to a close. It may be time to wake up your appearance with fresh body and skin treatments available at Town Center Surgery under the highly trained aesthetic eye of Dr. Marc Lussier.
Breast Augmentation Basics
No matter what the season is, ample breasts are simply sexy. Do you wish your clothes fit better? Would you like to fill out a bathing suit properly? If yes, it may be time to consider augmenting your breasts. Here are a few things you should know:
- Breast augmentation is usually performed under general anesthetic.
- The patient is up and around on the day following surgery and back to work by the following week.
- There are two types of implants, those filled with silicone and those filled with a saline solution. Both have become even more safe and successful over the years with the evolution of technology.
- For women under 22 years of age, the FDA recommends the saline implant. For women older than 22 years of age, either the silicone or saline implant is an appropriate choice.
- The implant may be placed in back of or in front of the pectoralis muscle within the breast.
- Scarring is kept to a minimum by hiding them under the arm, below the breast, around the areola and even in the belly button.
- Full breasts make hips appear slimmer and heads turn.
Wake Up Your Eyes with Eyelid Surgery
Are you really tired or do you just look that way? Saggy, excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids can not only make you appear exhausted, it can be hampering your vision. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) performed by Dr. Lussier can return you to your bright eyed, exuberant self. His technique provides optimum results, with minimal scarring. Everyone will notice how rested you appear.
Fall Makeup Trends
Nature changes colors with the season and so should you. This autumn, adorn your face and nails with some of the latest trends:
- Dark brown, green and other earthy colors are hot for eyes this fall, as well as gold and bronze metallic shadows.
- Contoured cheeks with just a little bit of color are back.
- Paint your lips, enhanced by PermaLip, with bright red and berry lipsticks; purple also seems to be a popular choice.
- For nails, go for gold or dark purple and bronze.
- Thick fringes of eyelashes treated with the revolutionary Latisse will frame your autumn eyes dressed in their rich dark colors beneath natural eyebrows.

The long, hot days of summer are almost over! Family vacations, swimming pools, beach parties, outings with the kids. What a busy season! Perhaps it’s time to give your body and skin a little pampering and attention as you prepare for the approach of autumn. Dr. Marc Lussier and his staff at Town Center Surgery have an array of options to rejuvenate and refresh your total look.
Liposuction 101
Have you ever wondered about the process of liposuction and whether it could be the answer to your own physique dilemmas? Here are a few things you should know:
- Liposuction is a surgical method performed by Dr. Lussier in order to sculpt your body free of those fatty bulges that appear to be diet and exercise resistant.
- The contouring process involves a slender, hollow tube called a “cannula” which is inserted through an incision into the problematic fatty deposits in order to suction them away.
- Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss. The ideal candidate should be at a healthy weight.
- Hips, thighs and abdomens are the most common areas, although other problem spots, such as arms, knees and necks, respond well too.
- Liposuction is usually done on an outpatient basis with twilight sedation or a general anesthetic.
School Bells are Ringing:
Time for Mommy’s Makeover
It’s time again for the kids to bundle up their backpacks, board the school bus and head back to school, which might be the perfect time to schedule that mommy makeover you’ve been dreaming about. How does the idea of full breasts, a flat belly and overall leanness sound? Breast augmentation can not only add curve appeal, but also replace lost volume. A breast lift can tighten your sagging skin in order to return your pert and youthful breasts to you. Stretched out abdominal skin can be made taut again with either a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck. Those stubborn fatty deposits that haven’t responded to diet and exercise can be suctioned away with liposuction. One or more of these procedures can be combined to create just the transformation you’ve been hoping for. Call today to see how you can become a sexy mommy.

Feeling Sexy and Self-Confident in the Summertime Sun
As the summer weather heats up, all that camouflaging clothing we hide behind in cooler months comes off to reveal our true physiques. And as much fun as summertime brings, that July beachwear can remind us of enhancements we’d like to make to our breasts, body or skin. Town Center Surgery offers great surgical and non-surgical ways to add sizzle to your summertime look, with results you’ll appreciate year round.
Breast Augmentation Options for that Sizzling Summer Look
Breast augmentation can add volume and enhance the shape of your breasts, for improved body proportion and that “wow” swimsuit look. Dr. Lussier of Town Center Surgery offers women in the Santa Clarita Valley a variety of breast augmentation options. Town Center offers both saline and silicone gel implants, in a variety of sizes and profiles to choose from. Through personal consultation, Dr. Lussier will listen to your goals and help you create the curvier look you seek.
Clinical Microdermabrasion, for Smooth, Radiant Skin
Your skin is one of your most important beauty assets, and keeping it soft, smooth and free of signs of sun damage is a great way to freshen up your look. Microdermabrasion stimulates collagen and cell production, and diminishes the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and skin discoloration. This gentle treatment offers great improvement to your skin with no need for recovery time. Town Center Surgery offers clinical microdermabrasion to men and women throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. Along with the benefits of exfoliation, Town Center Surgery adds L-absorbic acid to the treatment, to treat sun damage and increase skin firmness.
Mini-Tummy Tuck, for a Toned, Sleek Abdomen
A well-contoured abdomen is important during summer. But sometimes crunches and a low fat diet can’t create that firm, toned look you want. Age, weight loss and pregnancy can cause loose excess skin, stretched abdominal muscle and stubborn fat deposits to develop, diminishing the look of your stomach. For men or women with only a small amount of excess abdominal skin, a mini-tummy tuck can create the contoured stomach you seek, with less scarring and a shorter recovery than a traditional tummy tuck. The incision for a mini-tummy tuck is similar to that used during a hysterectomy or c-section, and can be easily concealed beneath underpants or a bikini bottom. A consultation at Town Center Surgery can help you determine if a mini-tummy tuck can give you the contoured stomach you seek.

As summer rolls into full-swing, it’s time to look your best. With no more sweaters or jackets to hide behind, you want your skin and body to be in the best shape possible. Luckily, Town Center Surgery offers plenty of surgical and non-surgical ways to enhance your look so you’ll be proud to flaunt what you’ve got this summer at the beach or by the pool.
From Sag to Sizzle with a Summer Breast Lift
Swimsuit season can offer great, carefree fun. But for those whose breasts have lost some of their shape over time, it can be a season of anxiety as well. Any number of factors can cause breasts to lose their youthful shape over time—pregnancy, genetics, gravity and weight fluctuation can all take their toll. For those wishing to restore their breasts to a perkier, more youthful shape, a breast lift may be the answer.
Put Your Best Face Forward with Botox
Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures out there today, for good reason. As we head into summer, Botox offers quick, safe, and effective treatment for forehead creases, lines and furrows. This quick, non-surgical treatment is great for people on the go, offering a youthful carefree look for months to come, with no down time.
Skin Care Tips for that Soft Sun-kissed Look
To keep your summer skin looking its best for years to come, it’s essential to protect it as best you can from harsh UV rays. Using a good sunscreen as you go about your day is one of the best bits of beauty advice one can give. For great, long-lasting UV protection without all the excess oil, Town Center Surgery offers an array of skin care products including Elta MD UV shield. Providing SPF 45 protection in an oil-free formula this terrific product is absorbed quickly into the skin and can be worn beautifully beneath make-up.

Summer is time for fun in the sun. Beach gatherings, picnics, afternoons by the pool are all activities we look forward to all year. And as the weather heats up, it may be time to heat up your look as well. Town Center Surgery offers great ways to improve the look of your skin and body — just in time for swimsuit season.
Skin Care for a Youthful Summer Look!
As you prepare to face the summer sunshine, don’t let signs of summers past mar your look. Fight wrinkles, sun spots, freckles and dull skin tone with the array of skin care services and products Town Center Surgery has to offer. Repair skin damage, stimulate collagen and smooth away fine lines and wrinkles with one of our revitalizing peel treatments. Choose either a Vitalize Peel or a Skin Brilliance Peel performed by an experienced staff member. Clinical microdermabrasion is another great way to improve your skin’s look and texture. And a terrific thing about microdermabrasion is no downtime is required! Town Center Surgery also offers an extensive array of professional skin care products such as purifying cleansers, moisturizers, facial masks and sunscreens.
Male Breast Reduction, for those Shirt-Free Summer Days!
For men troubled with Gynecomastia, a condition causing over-developed male breasts, a sleek, more masculine look is not out of reach. Male breast reduction surgery removes excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest. If needed, excess skin is removed as well and the nipple repositioned. Though Gynecomastia is a benign condition, and is much more common than most realize, it can cause great embarrassment to those who have it. At Town Center Surgery, we perform numerous male breast reduction procedures, offering our clients the confidence to face the summer shirt-free.
Liposuction – A Popular Springtime Treatment for Men and Women!
In springtime, women often seek liposuction for help with their thighs, buttocks and hips. Men more often want it to re-contour their “love handles” into a firmer, sleeker waist. No matter who you are or what your problem areas might be, Town Center Surgery is here to help. Liposuction can rid the body of diet- and exercise-resistant fat, offering a smoother, toned look to the thighs, abdomen, hips, or even the neck, chin, knees, upper arms and calves. Liposuction helps thousands get ready for summer each year. If you feel it may help you as well, contact us at Town Center Surgery.

Town Center Surgery Proudly Offers Latisse-for longer, thicker eyelashes!
Get long, dark, lush lashes in just weeks with Latisse, the first FDA-approved treatment for the promotion of eyelash growth. Latisse is a once a day topical treatment that offers results starting in just 4 weeks, and continuing for up to 16 weeks. This innovative treatment uses the bimatoprost, the active ingredient in glaucoma drug Lumigan. Eyelash growth has been a known side effect of bimatoprost for years and is now available in an FDA-approved prescription eyelash growth treatment. Though it is not known exactly how Latisse works, research shows it may effect the growth phase of the lashes, lengthening its duration and producing more lashes. Latisse has been proven to produce longer, darker, thicker lashes in patients within weeks and is backed by years of clinical research. To learn if Latisse eyelash treatment is right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Lussier at Town Center Surgery.

It also minimizes complications due to tissue ingrowth and is completely reversible if desired. With PermaLip, repetitive injections can be a thing of the past.
