Breast Reduction Surgery Specialist Marks Year of Blogging

MARINA DEL REY, CA, January 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Just over a year ago, Dr. Grant Stevens of Marina Plastic Surgery Associates (www.losangelesbreastreduction.com) began his informational blog about plastic surgery, the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Insider. He is celebrating a year of dedicated content about breast reduction surgery, tummy tucks and face lifts, among other things. He plans to continue to offer his "insider" perspective on all the latest plastic surgery news, research, and innovations in the coming year.

"I think blogging is truly a great way to inform people about plastic surgery," says Dr. Stevens. "It can be a big step to schedule time to meet with a plastic surgeon, and plenty of people would rather start out by browsing the web for the info they need. I hope my blog is helping to provide detailed, factual information about some of today's hottest topics in cosmetic and plastic surgery."

With over 20 years of experience in the field, Dr. Stevens offers an inside perspective on what's hot and what's not when it comes to cosmetic enhancements. It's helpful to have the perspective of someone who is "in the know" on a range of topics, including current plastic surgery statistics, the Laser Bra breast reduction procedure, and the latest liposuction alternatives. Dr. Stevens' blog helps him connect with his patients and provide clear and useful information.

Dr. Stevens explains that "the nice thing about blogging, for me, is that it allows me to discuss topics that interest me both professionally and personally. While my patients and I may have time to discuss the specifics of a procedure, we don't often get to communicate in detail about the research surrounding the procedure or some of the procedure's nuances."

One particular topic that Dr. Steven likes to discuss is his Laser Bra breast reduction technique. He developed the technique in response to breast sagging that occurs even after breast lift or breast reduction surgery. By creating an internal "bra" from the patient's own tissue, Dr. Stevens' technique helps keep a woman's breasts looking perky and full long after surgery. He feels that informing patients about the Laser Bra and other procedures that have revolutionized the field increases awareness about the latest advances in surgery.

"With all the information out there on the Web, it's important for patients to sift through the noise to get at what's verifiable and accurate," says Dr. Stevens. "Unlike some breast reduction surgeons, I feel it's my duty to provide education in the formats people enjoy today. I believe that blogging about plastic surgery helps to build a relationship between doctors and patients in a beneficial way."

At Marina Plastic Surgery Associates (www.losangelesbreastreduction.com), board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Grant Stevens and Dr. David Stoker offer innovative plastic surgery procedures including breast augmentation, face lifts, and abdominoplasty. After earning his medical degree with honors from Washington University Medical School in St. Louis, Dr. Stevens trained extensively in both general and plastic surgery before establishing his successful Los Angeles plastic surgery practice. Dr. Stoker and Dr. Stevens have both published extensively in clinical research publications showcasing some of the latest developments in plastic surgery procedures, and have gained recognition as pioneers in new techniques for procedures including liposuction and breast reduction.
