    Patient Jaime: Why I Decided To Replace (Not Remove) My Breast Implants

    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.

    Meet Jaime’s surgeon, Dr. John Smoot

    Introducing the Signature Skinny Shot: Semaglutide & Tirzepatide are here!

    Introducing the Signature Skinny Shot: Semaglutide & Tirzepatide are here!

    Dr. Jerry Haas, director of our medical weight loss program, gives us the details on Signature Skinny Shot, from what to expect before and during your weight loss journey to what can happen to your body as a result of losing weight and how we can help with that too.

    Semaglutide and tirzepatide started as diabetes medications, but in the past few years researchers have found that they also help people lose weight by telling the body when it’s full.

    These medications are well-vetted, have been around for a long time, and can truly be life-changing. Whether you want to reach your ideal weight before surgery with us or just want to shed those stubborn pounds, we’re here to guide you through the entire process.

    Meet The Team: Gerald Haas, MD - Anesthesiologist & Director of Medical Weight Loss

    Dr. Jerry Haas has been at LJC helping patients feel comfortable and well cared for before, during, and after surgery for over 25 years.

    When Dr. Haas isn’t by patients’ side during surgery, he’s there throughout their weight loss journey to help them safely reach their goals as the director of our medical weight loss program, Signature Skinny Shot.

    While serving the Navy on an aircraft carrier as a general medical officer, Dr. Haas’ senior medical officer would always tell him he’d be a great anesthesiologist. He took these words seriously. After two years of serving the Navy, he completed his three-year anesthesia residency, and he’s been keeping patients safe ever since.

    Kayla opens up about how she decided on size, how it felt to wake up looking different, and how Dr. Swistun handled her post-surgery hematoma.

    Meet Kayla, practice manager at our La Jolla med spa
