      <title>Oakland Cosmetic Surgeon Offers Breast Lifts to Help Women Feel Confident About Their Figures</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Cosmetic Surgeon in El Cerrito helps women gain more self-confidence with breast lift procedure</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/14/2017 --  Dr. Gabriel Patino, Bay Area cosmetic surgeon at The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito is helping patients feel confident about their figures and appearance of their breasts with his breast lift procedure that requires minimal downtime and dramatic results. With the breast lift procedure, Dr. Patino is able to provide a more youthful, perky breast appearance for patients who have gone through pregnancy, aging, weight loss, or other factors that have caused their breasts to sag. <br />
<br />
Even if women are satisfied with the size of their breasts, a breast lift procedure can help them feel younger and more confident about their figure. However, the breast lift procedure can often be completed in conjunction with other breast enhancement procedures, like breast reduction or breast augmentation surgery, to provide the look that the patient desires. Dr. Patino works closely with each patient during the consultation phase to determine exactly what their goal is with the surgery and to design a surgical outcome that they will be most satisfied with. <br />
<br />
To perform a breast lift procedure, Dr. Patino makes small incisions underneath the breast and around the nipple to reposition and reshape the breast. He removes excess skin and contours the shape of the breast to match the patient&apos;s frame. Although this is a procedure that most surgeons do under general anesthesia, Dr. Patino is an expert on tumescent anesthesia and he routinely does all procedures under tumescent anesthesia and a mild oral sedation. General anesthesia is available at the CSC and most patients having a tummy tuck choose a combination of general anesthesia and tumescent anesthesia. The breast lift procedure doesn&apos;t require much downtime. Dr. Patino uses sutures that dissolve on their own so patients do not need to return to have them removed. Patients will experience some minor swelling following the procedure, but in most instances, breasts are completely healed within four weeks. <br />
<br />
Breast lifts are just one of the many procedures Dr. Patino offers for Bay Area patients desiring an improved appearance. He offers other breast enhancement procedures such as breast augmentation and reduction. Additionally, he offers body contouring procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, and fat transfers, as well as facial surgery like rhinoplasty, facelifts, eyelid surgery, and lip augmentation. At The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito, patients also have access to services such as skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. <br />

      <title>Oakland, CA Cosmetic Surgeon Offers Life Changing Options with Labiaplasty</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel H. Patino offers surgical options to help with discomfort, insecurity and embarrassment for women with labia issues</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/20/2016 --  Bay Area cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gabriel Patino is helping women feel more confident in their appearance and comfortable in their own skin by offering labiaplasty surgery. With this procedure, women who have been experiencing discomfort, insecurity, or embarrassment about their genital area due to labia issues now have an effective solution for improvement. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and takes only 1-2 hours.  <br />
<br />
Many women are unhappy with the size and shape of their labia minor, which can lead to feelings of embarrassment during intercourse. Other women may feel discomfort during daily activities or exercise due to excess labia tissue and may even feel pain in tight clothing or swimwear. Labiaplasty surgery reduces the labia minora tissue to create a thinner, shorter, and more appealing appearance. Women who undergo the procedure often report that they have increased confidence and self-esteem, more satisfying intercourse, and much less discomfort during exercise.  <br />
<br />
Dr. Patino performs labiaplasty surgery on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with laser technology. Unlike scalpels typically used for similar surgeries, the laser allows for more precision, reduces bleeding by cauterizing the tissue, and promotes accelerated healing. Once the excess tissue is removed, special skin staples and absorbable sutures are put in place. Patients typically experience some mild bruising, tenderness, and swelling in the first few days following the procedure, but full recovery is typically achieved within a few weeks.   <br />
<br />
Women who are interested in labiaplasty surgery for improving their appearance and comfort are encouraged to schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Patino at his Bay Area cosmetic surgery office. During this consultation, Dr. Patino and the patient will discuss their desired outcomes for the surgery to ensure that their expectations are met.  <br />
<br />
Labiaplasty is one of many cosmetic surgical procedures Dr. Patino offers for patients in Oakland, Berkeley, and the surrounding areas. He offers a variety of other breast enhancement, body contouring, and facial surgeries to help patients look and feel their very best.<br />
  <br />
About The Cosmetic Surgery Center of El Cerrito <br />
Dr. Gabriel Patino has more than three decades of experience as a board certified surgeon. He is known worldwide for his expertise in pioneering a variety of cosmetic procedures and seeks to offer patients the highest level of care. He can communicate with patients in six different languages including English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German.   <br />

      <title>El Cerrito Cosmetic Surgeon Offers Financing Options for Bay Area Patients Seeking Cosmetic Improvements</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito offers affordable financing options for patients</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 05/17/2016 --  Residents of the California Bay Area who are interested in cosmetic improvements for their appearance but are concerned about how to pay for those procedures can take advantage of the variety of financing options offered by The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito. Dr. Gabriel Patino and his staff understand the impact that cosmetic procedures can have on a patient&apos;s confidence and outlook on life, and they believe that finances alone shouldn&apos;t prevent patients from being able to undergo these procedures. Currently, they offer financing options through two of the nation&apos;s leading healthcare financing companies. <br />
<br />
Because most cosmetic surgical procedures are elective, meaning there is not necessarily a medical need for them, insurance companies often do not cover the cost of these procedures. Unfortunately, this prevents many patients from undergoing procedures that can dramatically improve not only their self-image, but also their confidence, emotional health, and even physical health simply due to cost. Dr. Patino is a strong believer that one cannot put a price tag on a positive self-image. As a result, he offers financing options for cosmetic procedures through Prosper Healthcare Lending as well as Care Credit. <br />
<br />
Patients who are interested in financing their cosmetic procedures through either of these two companies will be able to receive their cosmetic procedure without having to pay one large lump sum up front before treatment. Instead, they can enjoy lower monthly payments at very low interest with no collateral required and no prepayment penalties. The entire process is 100% confidential and patients will receive an immediate decision about their financing options without it affecting their credit. <br />
<br />
Dr. Patino offers financing options for nearly every procedure offered at his practice, whether surgical or non-surgical. At The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito, Dr. Patino offers breast enhancement, body contouring, and facial surgery, as well as hair restoration procedures and minimally invasive procedures such as dermal fillers and skin rejuvenation. <br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgery Center of El Cerrito<br />
Dr. Gabriel Patino has more than three decades of experience in the surgical industry and is world-renowned for his expertise in plastic surgery. Dr. Patino is committed to helping each patient have the best experience possible under his care and he is fluent in several languages, such as English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, and German, to better cater to his patients. He is known for offering the latest state-of-the-art treatments at his El Cerrito office that help patients look and feel their very best. <br />

      <title>Bay Area Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Gabriel Patino Offers Latest FDA-Approved Treatment for Smoother, Fuller Lips</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito now offers Restylane Silk for subtle, non-surgical lip enhancements</p><p>EL Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 05/03/2016 --  Dr. Gabriel Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito is now offering the latest FDA-approved treatment for Bay Area patients who are seeking a smoother, fuller appearance for their lips. Restylane Silk is the first and only lip enhancement treatment that has been approved by the FDA for its safety and effectiveness. This dermal filler has shown to provide outstanding results that last for up to six months, effectively adding natural-looking fullness to the lips while reducing fine lines, creases, and wrinkles. <br />
<br />
Restylane Silk differs from other dermal fillers available on the market due to its particles that are much smoother and smaller than those in other formulas. This product is a clear gel that is made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that the body produces naturally. This material is injected into the lips through a thin needle in the areas where the patient desires more fullness and a smoother appearance. Many patients prefer Restylane Silk due to its ability to provide a more natural appearance with volume enhancement than other types of dermal fillers available on the market. <br />
<br />
The procedure to administer Restylane Silk for subtle lip enhancement is simple, fast, and relatively painless. Prior to the injections, Dr. Patino applies a topical anesthetic to the lips just to minimize any potential discomfort the patient may experience. The Restylane Silk is then administered through a thin needle in conservative increments as Dr. Patino carefully monitors how it is altering the appearance of the lips beneath the skin. He uses a custom amount of this product with each patient depending on their unique needs and preferences for procedure outcomes. From start to finish, the procedure generally takes only about 20-30 minutes. <br />
<br />
Because the Restylane Silk procedure is non-surgical, there is no downtime or recovery time required. In fact, patients can resume their work or regular daily activities immediately following the procedure. Some patients may experience some light bruising and swelling, but any discomfort can usually be remedied after treatment with the application of an ice pack. <br />
<br />
In addition to Restylane Silk, Dr. Patino offers a variety of other surgical and non-surgical procedures for patients in El Cerrito, Oakland, Berkeley, and the surrounding areas. He provides a wide range of breast enhancement, body contouring, and facial surgery procedures, along with hair restoration and skin rejuvenation.<br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgery Center of El Cerrito<br />
Dr. Patino has been practicing medicine since 1981. Throughout his career, he has gained experience in a wide range of surgical subspecialties, but today he is world renowned for his expertise in cosmetic surgery. He has pioneered several cosmetic surgery procedures and is one of only 500 surgeons in the world who have achieved Diplomate status with the American Board of Laser Surgery, specializing in laser body sculpting. <br />

      <title>Cosmetic Surgeon in El Cerrito, CA Offers Latest Lip Augmentation Procedure Using Fat Transfer Technology</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Oakland cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gabriel Patino offers lip augmentation procedure for Bay Area patients</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 04/11/2016 --  Dr. Gabriel Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito is offering Bay Area patients a new and advanced procedure to improve their facial appearance with the use of fat transfer technology for lip augmentation. This procedure provides patients with fuller, more sensual lips that can make them feel more youthful and attractive with their facial appearance. It also provides patients with much more permanent results than other lip augmentation options like dermal fillers. <br />
<br />
Using fat transfer technology, Dr. Gabriel Patino is able to extract unwanted fat from other areas of the patient&apos;s body such as the stomach, hips, thighs, or buttocks. The fat is extracted via liposuction and is then processed with an advanced system that separates the viable fat cells. These fat cells are then injected into the lips through small, minimally invasive needles to provide a fuller appearance. Because this injected material is the patient&apos;s own natural cells, it naturally bonds to the new area for a permanent look, unlike many dermal fillers that can have a diminished appearance over a short period of time. <br />
<br />
Patients who undergo the lip augmentation procedure generally only experience some mild swelling following the procedure that typically only lasts a few days. Additionally, those who undergo the fat transfer procedure have the option to have more areas than just the lips treated at the same time. Fat transfer procedures can also be performed to add fullness and volume to areas of the face, hands, buttocks, or even the breasts depending on the unique preferences of the patient. <br />
<br />
Fat transfer and lip augmentation are just a small selection of the advanced procedures that Dr. Gabriel Patino offers at his El Cerrito, CA office. He also provides a variety of breast enhancement, body contouring, and facial surgery options along with skin rejuvenation services, hair restoration, and more. He offers consultations for all patients interested in cosmetic procedures to help them determine the best treatment plan for achieving the look they desire. <br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgery Center of El Cerrito<br />
Dr. Patino is one of the most experienced cosmetic surgeons in the Bay Area having spent more than 30 years in the industry. He is known worldwide for his expertise in cosmetic surgery, particularly breast surgery. He is fluent in several languages including English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Portuguese to best cater to patients from all cultures and backgrounds.

      <title>Dr. Gabriel Patino of the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito Explains Different Reasons for Hair Loss</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Cosmetic surgeon educating residents of Oakland, Berkeley and surrounding areas of California on causes for hair loss</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/17/2016 --  As one of the most well-known and respected cosmetic surgeons in the California region, Dr. Gabriel Patino is promoting awareness on the different causes of hair loss. Hair can be a person&apos;s trademark or a feature they feel very confident about, however, if it starts to fall out what do we do and how can we address the problem? Dr. Patino cannot only suggest possible reasons for your hair loss he can also help you get back those glowing locks with hair transplantation. <br />
<br />
Hair loss can affect both men and women for various reasons and while it&apos;s very common to lose small amounts of hair every day, excessive hair loss can become concerning. In better cases, if you have lost hair after a major surgery or an illness due to stress your hair will more than likely grow back. If you are finding that your hair is not growing back and haven&apos;t had an illness or major surgery, a doctor&apos;s visit is recommended. <br />
<br />
There are a handful of general causes for hair loss but in all cases, Dr. Patino can help with treatment. Hair loss can be due to poor nutrition, certain medications, infections, some types of hair treatments, and, more commonly, pattern baldness. Pattern baldness is a genetically determined baldness where hair is gradually lost according to a characteristic pattern, a permanent hair loss from the scalp.<br />
<br />
Dr. Patino and his compassionate, experienced team understand that hair loss can be a sensitive subject which is why he gives each patient a free consultation to set the foundation of trust and understanding. Using hair follicles or grafts, Dr. Patino performs hair transplants to help improve not only your aesthetic goals but also to regain self-confidence once again. <br />
<br />
Having performed successful hair transplants on plenty of patients, Dr. Patino also specializes in surgical and non-surgical cosmetic surgery, skin rejuvenation, as well as hair restoration for residents of Oakland, Berkeley, and surrounding areas of California. <br />

      <title>El Cerrito, California's Dr. Gabriel Patino, Setting the Bar for Millennial Surgeons</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Cosmetic surgeon at The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito is making a name for himself throughout the West Coast region</p><p>EL Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/05/2016 --  Accredited and accomplished Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Gabriel Patino has been in the medical field for more than 34 years and steadily making himself a household name. Dr. Patino has been practicing medicine since 1981. Dr. Patino trained in General Surgery at Highland General Hospital, a major level I trauma center affiliated with the University of Davis and then completed his internal medicine residency at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. In addition to Dr. Patino&apos;s board certification, he has also been re-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Dr. Patino is one of approximately 500 physicians in the world to become a diplomate of the American Board of Laser Surgery.<br />
<br />
Wanting to initiate the first steps in his career as a surgeon, Dr. Patino started at the top. He was appointed as an emergency surgeon at Saint Mary&apos;s Medical Center in San Francisco, a major open heart surgery center. Dr. Patino excelled as a surgeon and only after two years, he was elected the medical director of the surgical house staff at Saint Mary&apos;s Medical Center where he performed a plethora of surgeries including emergency open heart surgery. Dr. Patino remained the Medical Director of the Surgical House Staff for ten more years. In addition, Dr. Gabriel Patino practiced as an Emergency Room physician for fourteen years while also maintaining privileges in more than thirteen hospitals within the California region. <br />
<br />
In 1997, foreshadowing his soon-to-be passion for cosmetic surgery, Dr. Patino attended a Hair transplant symposium in Barcelona, Spain and subsequently trained in hair transplantation with one of the pioneers of the field. In 2003-2004 Dr. Patino completed a General Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship Program. In 2005 Dr. Patino opened the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito that most know today. Here Dr. Patino began performing all major cosmetic surgical procedures with minimal sedation by mouth and tumescent anesthesia offering the latest in cosmetic surgery technology. Dr. Patino currently practices Cosmetic Surgery 100 % of his time. His prior experience extends to the fields of General Surgery, Emergency Surgery, Emergency Open Heart Surgery, Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine.<br />
<br />
Pressing harder into the concrete, Dr. Patino invented a tool for breast augmentation using the Transumbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA) technique that, in his experience, shortens surgery time, makes the procedure easy for other surgeons to learn the advanced technique and may minimize risks and complications. Dr. Patino is one of the select few surgeons who are specially trained to perform the Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation or TUBA, also known as the "belly button approach" which eliminates scars on the breasts or armpits. Dr. Patino lectures frequently at major Cosmetic Surgery annual meetings on the TUBA. Dr. Patino is a member of the faculty at the American Society of Cosmetic Physicians and is the Program Director for the TUBA workshop where he teaches other surgeons the TUBA approach. <br />
<br />
Dr. Patino has been invited to speak at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery annual meeting in Hollywood, Florida on January 14, 2016. He will be sharing his experience with the TUBA under tumescent anesthesia.<br />

      <title>Bay Area Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Gabriel Patino Appointed as Program Director for the Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation Workshop</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito was recently appointed to notable position by the American Society of Cosmetic Physicians</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/17/2015 --  El Cerrito Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Gabriel Patino was recently appointed by the American Society of Cosmetic Physicians (ASCP) as the Program Director for the Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation Workshop. As the only instructor for the workshop, Dr. Patino will be teaching surgeons from around the world how to complete the procedure under tumescent anesthesia. <br />
<br />
Trans umbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) is a fairly new cosmetic surgery procedure that allows the implantation of saline breast implants through a small incision in the navel instead of incisions in the breast or around the areola. <br />
<br />
Currently, this is the only TUBA workshop offered by the ASCP and is the only one that teaches surgeons the procedure under tumescent anesthesia, which is also known as localized anesthesia, instead of requiring the patient to undergo general anesthesia for the procedure. With the TUBA procedure taught by Dr. Patino, no use of endoscopes or general anesthesia is required. <br />
<br />
Dr. Patino has also developed a new instrument that makes this formerly challenging procedure very easy to learn by other surgeons. By instructing this workshop, Dr. Patino is helping to make this procedure available to more patients across the world as more surgeons become trained and experienced with the technique. <br />
<br />
The ASCP also invited Dr. Patino to speak about the Trans Abdominal Breast Augmentation (TABA) procedure at their yearly conference in Orlando on October 10, 2015. Additionally, he will be speaking about the TUBA procedure at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) yearly meeting in Hollywood, Florida in January 2016. <br />

      <title>Oakland Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Gabriel Patino Offers Mommy Makeovers to Help Mothers Feel and Look Their Best</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito offers comprehensive cosmetic procedure to help moms get their body back after baby</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/20/2015 --  Dr. Gabriel Patino, renowned cosmetic surgeon in California&apos;s Bay Area is helping mothers get their body back after having a baby, so they may finally feel and look confident in their own skin again. The mommy makeover procedures offered at The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito involve combining a tummy tuck and transabdominal breast implants or liposuction and a fat transfer to the breast or buttocks in the same surgery, leaving women with a transformed and much improved shape after the procedures. <br />
<br />
While pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding are truly remarkable feats that mothers endure, many women are often left with a body that they no longer recognize or feel comfortable in. Even with rigorous diet and exercise, it can be nearly impossible to restore the body to its pre-pregnancy state. Some of the most common concerns women have after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding are deflated, sagging breasts, cellulite, and unwanted pockets of fat on their lower abdomen, hips, and buttocks. The mommy makeover procedure is designed to address these most common problem areas and give women a new shape that they can feel completely confident with. <br />
<br />
Because pregnancy affects each woman differently in regard to her post-pregnancy shape, Dr. Patino listens to the concerns of each patient closely and designs a custom treatment plan that addresses her specific concerns and will get her the unique results that she desires. In addition to the most common processes of breast augmentation and liposuction, women can also opt for additional body contouring procedures like fat transfers, tummy tucks, and SmartLipo. <br />
<br />
The goal of the mommy makeover is to help mothers look as beautiful on the outside as their child makes them feel on the inside. Dr. Patino is known for his unique ability to customize procedures according to the preferred outcomes of his patients, with some wanting more natural results and others wanting more dramatic transformations. <br />
<br />
Dr. Patino is one of the few cosmetic surgeons in the country who is specially trained in trans-umbilical breast augmentation that is particularly beneficial for women who may want to breastfeed in the future after their procedure. With this procedure, an incision is made in the navel and no incisions are required on the breast itself. It causes much less damage to the breast tissue, requires less recovery time, and results in minimal scarring. <br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito<br />
With more than 30 years of experience in surgery, Dr. Gabriel Patino and The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito have become one of the top providers of advanced cosmetic procedures in the California Bay Area.

      <title>Bay Area Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Gabriel Patino Featured on San Francisco News for SmartLipo Procedure</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel Patino interviewed on KRON 4 about the SmartLipo™ procedure offered at The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/28/2015 --  Dr. Gabriel Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito can be seen featured on San Francisco&apos;s KRON 4 news about the latest SmartLipo™ procedure he is offering to help patients improve their figure. SmartLipo™ offers patients the latest technology, as compared to conventional suction-assisted liposuction procedures, that provides more optimal results, a less painful procedure and faster recovery times. Typically, SmartLipo™ patients can be back to normal activities and work the day after the procedure with only minor discomfort or soreness. <br />
<br />
The SmartLipo™ procedure offered by Dr. Patino at his Bay Area office presents multiple benefits for patients compared to conventional liposuction. SmartLipo™ does not require general anesthesia, only localized anesthesia. The procedure causes much less local trauma to the area being treated and results in much less pain and discomfort for the patient. Additionally, the SmartLipo™ procedure only uses small incisions that result in far less damage to the treatment area than traditional liposuction. Unlike suction-assisted procedures that cause major bruising and swelling for weeks after the procedure, the heated lasers of the SmartLipo™ procedure actually help tighten the skin after the fatty deposits are removed. This provides the patient with a much better outcome immediately after the procedure and significantly reduces recovery time. <br />
<br />
Many patients turn to liposuction procedures to get rid of stubborn fat deposits that don&apos;t seem to go away even after incorporating diet and exercise into their lifestyle. SmartLipo™ can be utilized in many areas of the body where the patient wishes to have a tighter, firmer appearance including the face, jowls, neck, arms, abdomen, back, thighs, knees, buttocks and more. Dr. Patino holds a consultation with each patient prior to their procedure to make sure they are good candidates for SmartLipo™ and that both the patient and the doctor have the same expectations and goals. <br />
<br />
In addition to offering SmartLipo™, Dr. Patino is also known for his expertise in breast augmentation procedures. He specializes in body contouring as well as facial cosmetic surgery, skin rejuvenation, and hair restoration procedures.  <br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito<br />
Dr. Gabriel Patino has 35 years of experience as a surgeon, with 17 years&apos; experience in cosmetic surgery  helping his patients look and feel their very best. He is able to cater to patient&apos;s needs in their native language, as he is fluent in English, Spanish, French, and can communicate well in Italian, Portuguese and German.

      <title>The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito in Oakland, CA Now Offering Two Types of Juvederm</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito is now offering two types of Juvederm for a more youthful appearance</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/26/2015 --  Patients of Dr. Gabriel Patino and The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito in Oakland now have even more non-surgical options for achieving a more youthful facial appearance with two types of Juvederm. Dr. Patino is now providing patients with traditional Juvederm as well as Juvederm Voluma XC to help get long-lasting results for a younger looking face. <br />
<br />
Juvederm is a form of hyaluronic acid that is injected using a small needle to smooth fine lines and wrinkles in the face. It is approved by the FDA to help with the appearance of frown lines, facial wrinkles and folds, lip sculpting, and forehead and brow wrinkles. As a thinner substance than other facial fillers, Juvederm is preferred by many patients for its more natural appearance and less bruising after injection. It is also reversible with an enzyme injection, which makes minor corrections and fine-tuning an easy task. The Juvederm injection takes full effect within one to two weeks, and the results can last up to one year. <br />
<br />
Juvederm Voluma XC is the only FDA-approved injectable filler gel that is proven to add volume to the cheek area for patients over the age of 21. Over time, aging factors not only cause the face to develop fine lines and wrinkles, but also to lose volume in the cheek area as well. Juvederm Voluma XC helps restore more youthful volume in the face, with results that can last up to two years.<br />
<br />
Both Juvederm and Juvederm Voluma XC are non-surgical injectables, which means patients only require a short visit to the office and little to no downtime. Dr. Patino meets with each potential Juvederm and Juvederm Voluma XC patient in Oakland prior to determine a custom approach to their injections, helping them achieve the look they want. <br />
<br />
In addition to facial injections for a more youthful experience, Dr. Patino offers a wide range of other cosmetic procedures for Oakland patients to help them look and feel their best. Dr. Patino is trained to provide expert services for facial cosmetic surgery, skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, body contouring, fat transfers, and liposuction.<br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito<br />
Dr. Gabriel Patino is a leading cosmetic surgeon in the Oakland and Berkeley area. With more than 25 years of training in a variety of specialties, patients continually choose Dr. Patino for his expertise in the field.

      <title>Oakland, CA Cosmetic Surgeon Helps Women Feel Confident for Swimsuit Season with Breast Lift Surgery</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito offers performs breast lift surgery for women in preparation for swimsuit season</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/26/2015 --  With only a few more months before the start of the summer season, many women are starting to consider how they&apos;ll look in a bathing suit once the season hits. Dr. Gabriel Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito is helping women in the Oakland area plan for confidence this swimsuit season with expert breast lift surgery. Contrary to what most think, the breast lift procedure actually requires very little downtime and will provide years of boosted confidence for women regarding their appearance.<br />
<br />
With breast augmentation being the second most common cosmetic procedure performed in the U.S., more than one hundred thousand U.S. women seek breast lift procedures each year to improve their appearance and confidence. Many women desire a breast lift after pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss. The breast lift procedure reshapes the breast through removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple to give them a more youthful, perky appearance.<br />
  <br />
Dr. Patino is a board certified cosmetic surgeon who specializes in breast procedures. He performs each procedure in a way that is catered to the individual frame and preferences of his patients. When performing a breast lift, Dr. Patino makes a careful, discreet incision around the nipple or underneath the breast that results in minimal scarring that is usually undetectable. The incisions are closed with dissolving sutures that don&apos;t require another office visit to remove.<br />
<br />
After the procedure, patients are provided with a special bra that provides proper support for their breasts during the healing process. Swelling is common and patients should avoid strenuous exercise and physical activity, however, breasts typically heal completely from a lift procedure within four weeks. <br />
<br />
For women desiring a fuller look for their breasts along with their lift procedure, they can combine it with an augmentation. Dr. Patino consults with each patient individually to determine their appearance goals and preferences, and how an augmentation or lift procedure can help accomplish them.<br />
<br />
In addition to breast lifts and augmentations, Dr. Patino also specializes in body contouring procedures like liposuction and fat transfers, facial cosmetic surgery, skin rejuvenation, and hair restoration procedures.<br />
<br />

      <title>Oakland Cosmetic Surgeon Performs Discreet Male Breast Reduction Surgery</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel H. Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito performs male breast reduction surgery for men with gynecomastia in California</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/16/2015 --  Oakland cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gabriel H. Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito performs skilled, discreet male breast reduction surgery for men with gynecomastia in Oakland, Berkeley and the surrounding communities. Gynecomastia is the medical term for the enlarged appearance of breasts in males caused by an accumulation of fatty tissue. Gynecomastia is often an embarrassing and frustrating condition for men who may not realize that there is a surgical option for the reduction of these stubborn deposits which may not decrease even after rigorous exercise and strict dietary restrictions. This condition is often caused by age, genetics, lifestyle, or a combination of those factors. Men with gynecomastia often report a diminished feeling of masculinity, heightened self-consciousness and a decrease of self-confidence, based on their appearance. <br />
<br />
As the skin naturally tightens around the chest muscles, many patients may notice an added increase in definition and an improvement in the overall appearance of the male physique. However, it should be noted that this initial tightening isn&apos;t perpetual, and must be maintained with a steady regimen of exercise and diet. Male breast reduction surgery recovery depends on the amount of tissue removed, with smaller amounts of fatty tissue removal resulting in a recovery time of two to four weeks, on average. The removal of glandular tissue or a larger amount of fatty tissue may extend the recovery process to six months before fully healed. Some discomfort around the surgical area may be experienced during recovery, which can be managed by pain medication prescribed by Dr. Patino. Scarring will occur, but it fades over time. Other standard surgery risks are also to be considered, which will be covered by Dr. Patino during each patient&apos;s initial consultation. <br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito<br />
Dr. Patino and his skilled team can help restore male self-confidence and sense of well-being via a straightforward, simple technique with modern technology, personal care and privacy, and a minimum of discomfort, downtime and rehabilitation. The male breast reduction procedure is accomplished with a combination of basic liposuction techniques and further body contouring when necessary. Dr. Patino&apos;s years of experience and skill help create natural, positive results. With a minuscule incision, Dr. Patino begins the removal of that stubborn, excess fatty tissue from the skin around the chest area. Following the removal of excess fat and skin, Dr. Patino is able to tighten and contour the remaining skin to fit naturally and smoothly over the muscles in the chest. Any conspicuous glandular tissue that may be contributing to the gynecomastia will also be removed, effecting a long-term solution. <br />

      <title>California Cosmetic Surgical Center Offers Hair Transplantation During Winter Months</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel H. Patino of the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito provides a variety of procedures that can be completed before the temperatures rise again</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/08/2014 --  Oakland, California cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gabriel H. Patino provides skilled hair transplantation procedures for clients in Oakland, Berkeley, and surrounding areas of California at his practice, the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito. Millions of Americans suffer from hair loss and may not know that there are many varieties of treatment available. The most effective solutions will be provided by a surgeon like Dr. Gabriel Patino, who is an experienced hair loss surgeon.<br />
<br />
Hair transplant surgery provides immediate, visible results. During the procedure, hair is taken from an area of abundance on the head and replaced in the areas where hair loss has occurred. Up to 95% of transplanted hairs will remain alive and continue to grow and thicken. Since transplants will not prevent future hair loss or reverse the process of hair loss, Dr. Patino commonly suggests both hair transplant surgery and a regimen of Propecia. Some clients who are averse to taking prescription medication may benefit from a topical solution instead. Dr. Patino of the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito specializes in a wide variety of advanced surgical and non-surgical cosmetic solutions, skin rejuvenation and hair restoration, helping clients achieve healthy, youthful, natural results. <br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito<br />
The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito can treat current hair loss and help prevent future hair loss with the application of advanced techniques and technology. Dr. Patino and his team work closely with each client to provide specific treatment options best suited for their needs. Though over-the-counter solutions are available, including topical products like Minoxidil, that boast FDA approval, the results of such products can be unclear and widely varied. The medication in retail treatments is weaker than that found in prescription treatments, and the application process is messy, inconsistent and demanding. Certain orally taken medications like Propecia and Finasteride effectively reduce dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a testosterone byproduct that causes hair loss, and results are less noticeable than those of skilled hair transplant surgery.<br />

      <title>Oakland Cosmetic Surgeon Performs Advanced Facial Surgical Procedures</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Dr. Gabriel H. Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito, California performs a variety of advanced facial cosmetic surgery procedures</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/04/2014 --  California cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gabriel H. Patino of The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito offers a full selection of modern cosmetic surgical procedures for patients seeking breast augmentation, skin rejuvenation or hair restoration. Dr. Patino is also skilled at performing a wide variety of advanced facial cosmetic surgical procedures for patients seeking to improve or correct their features. Facial cosmetic surgery is a general name for an approach that that may include a number of normal cosmetic procedures. Often these include general procedures such as a facelift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty or lip augmentation.<br />
<br />
Facelifts and neck lifts are often performed in conjunction with each other in order to provide the best results for the patient, creating a youthful, healthier appearance in the face and neck. Aging, genes and lifestyle choices have residual effects on the face and neck, resulting in sagging skin, discoloration, thinning skin and loss of smoothness. Dr. Patino lifts sagging, unattractive skin and creates a uniform surface that restores beauty and radiance for his patients. Mid-face sagging, jowls from muscle tone loss, creases below the eyelids, fat deposits and loosened chin and jaw skin can be corrected by facelift. <br />
<br />
Blepharoplasty (eye lid surgery) restores beauty to the eyes and face and is less complicated and invasive than facelift procedures. Dr. Patino removes sagging skin, excess fat and atrophied muscles around the eyes, improving the tight, youthful look of the skin and restoring vibrancy to the smile and overall visage. Blepharoplasty can be performed as outpatient under local anesthesia. Once sedated, Dr. Patino makes small incisions concealed within the eyes&apos; natural folds. He then removes excess fat and muscle tissue, or sculpts existing tissue, depending on the patients&apos; personal needs and consultation. <br />
<br />
Rhinoplasty (nose job surgery) is a more advanced procedure. Dr. Patino is able to reduce the size of an ungainly proboscis or reshape a nose for a better aesthetic result or better match to the face. Rhinoplasty is often combined with other facial surgeries to achieve an overall look of youthful health and well-crafted beauty. Rhinoplasty can involve the removal of excess nose cartilage, reshaping of the nose bone and bridge, reshaping nostrils, and reshaping of the nose&apos;s internal structures, especially beneficial for those with trouble breathing or sinus problems. These and many other advanced cosmetic facial procedures are offered by Dr. Patino and the skilled staff at The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito, found online at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.thecosmeticsurgicalcenter.com" href="http://www.thecosmeticsurgicalcenter.com">http://www.thecosmeticsurgicalcenter.com</a>.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Heidi Buckner<br />Telephone: 510-957-9668<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/559530">Click to Email Heidi Buckner</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thecosmeticsurgicalcenter.com/">http://www.thecosmeticsurgicalcenter.com/</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=559530&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <title>The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito Introduces Safer, Less Painful Liposuction in Oakland</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito is now offering patients SmartLipo™, a less painful, safer alternative to traditional liposuction in Oakland, CA</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/03/2014 --  The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito is now offering a less painful, safer alternative to traditional liposuction to patients in Oakland, CA and the surrounding areas. This new procedure, called SmartLipo™, requires only a tiny incision and makes use of advanced laser technology to reduce risk and shorten recovery time. Additionally, the SmartLipo™ laser actually increases collagen production in the treated area, jumpstarting the skin tightening process.<br />
<br />
The laser-assisted system offers many improvements over its predecessors. "You can expect a lot less pain and swelling compared to traditional liposuction," said a staff member at the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito. "SmartLipo patients are back to work a couple days after the procedure and they&apos;re ready to resume strenuous exercise in about two weeks."<br />
<br />
Many people decide on liposuction because certain fat deposits are nearly impossible to get rid of through diet and exercise. "There&apos;s a common misconception that anyone who gets lipo is unwilling to do the work," said a staff member at the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito. "That&apos;s simply not true. Almost all of our patients have tried other methods before even thinking about liposuction. Some parts of the body are just very stubborn when it comes to shedding fat."<br />
<br />
Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures requested today. Dr. Patino of the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito performs SmartLipo™ more than any other procedure. This targeted technique can be used to remove fat virtually anywhere on a person&apos;s body.<br />
<br />
About The Cosmetic Surgical Center<br />
The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito offers breast augmentation, body sculpting, Botox, hair restoration, and other cosmetic procedures to patients in the greater Oakland area. Anyone interested having liposuction in Berkeley, California, or nearby may want to consider the SmartLipo™ procedure performed by Dr. Patino, a Diplomat of the American Board of Laser Surgery.

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito now performs transumbilical breast augmentation.</p><p>El Cerrito, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/31/2014 --  The Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito now performs transumbilical breast augmentation, the preferred procedure for patients who do not want visible scars on their breasts or armpits following breast augmentation. Transumbilical implants go in through a small incision on the navel wall, making the scar almost impossible to spot. Dr. Patino of the Cosmetic Surgical Center has been specially trained to perform what they call the "belly button approach" to breast augmentation.<br />
<br />
Other benefits of transumbilical breast augmentation include "shorter surgery time, less bleeding, and a faster recovery," according to Cosmetic Surgical Center Employee Garbriela Soledad. "In general, patients who opt for this approach are less likely to experience complications during or following the procedure." Swelling subsides after four days and most patients can resume all normal activities within one month of having surgery.<br />
<br />
Women who may want to breastfeed in the future are encouraged to consider a transumbilical procedure over other types of breast augmentation. "Transumbilical surgery typically causes less damage to breast tissue," says Karla Molina, an employee at the Cosmetic Surgical Center. Furthermore, the risk of losing nipple sensitivity is less following transumbilical breast surgery.<br />
