Fitting Into Your “Goal Pants”: April’s Tirzepatide Experience
At LJC, April is the go-to person for getting started with the skinny shot at LJC. She knows what people are going through because she’s been there too, and shares her personal experience to help them feel less alone during their journey.
Having a sweet tooth and being a travel enthusiast, April’s food habits are changed for the better with tirzepatide. She chooses bananas over pastries and opts for a vodka cranberry instead of a strawberry daiquiri.
Opening up about her experience, April explains why she went with tirzepatide instead of semaglutide and shares what to expect on our Signature Skinny Shot program, how to manage shots while on the road or dealing with TSA, and what maintenance plans might look like once you reach your goal.

Why Your Belly Button is the Most Important Part of a Tummy Tuck
Before having a tummy tuck, one of the biggest worries our patients have is “what is my belly button going to look like?” No one wants an ugly belly button, or for it to be a dead giveaway that they had work done.
Because so much extra skin is removed during tummy tuck surgery, the original belly button often goes away with it. But during a tummy tuck using the BellaButton technique, Dr. Salazar creates a beautiful, natural-looking belly button.
As the pioneer of this technique, Dr. Salazar explains the key differences between the original techniques used to create a belly button during a tummy tuck, and the advanced approach of the BellaButton.
See the difference between Dr. Salazar’s BellaButton results and standard tummy tuck belly button on our blog.

Patient Tammy: I Don’t Look Mad Or Sad Anymore (Unless I Really Am)
As the co-host of San Diego’s favorite country morning show, Tammy wanted to look high-spirited and full of life, but her eyelids made her look tired or mad all the time and her neck made her look older than her age.
Opening up about her reasons for getting eyelid surgery and a neck lift, Tammy shares why she wanted to improve upon the things that she felt were detrimental to her appearance.
With no past experience having cosmetic surgery, Tammy recalls how Dr. Breister and her nurses helped her feel comfortable, and to her surprise, how easy recovery was.

Patient Jaime: Why I Decided To Replace (Not Remove) My Breast Implants
17 years ago, Jaime had a breast augmentation and lift after breastfeeding her three children. Back then, she spent a lot of time vacationing on the river and wanted to feel confident in a bikini.
Fast forward to 2023, Jaime came back to LJCSC because her breasts had gotten larger. Since her initial surgery, she felt like she looked too big, so she opted for breast implant replacement (for much smaller implants) and another lift.
Find out why she decided against explanting and hear how her surgeon Dr. John Smoot handled a startling post-op scare.
