So we all want to be able to smile and feel happy rather than self conscious. But one of the unfortunate truths is that as we age, the laugh lines around the eyes, called crows feet, become more and more noticeable. It may start out as a few creases, and then develop into a wide circular fan of wrinkles around the eyes. There have been many eye lotions dedicated to the skin around the eyes. But I have found Botox to be much more effective.
Cosmetic Surgery
Natural Looking Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery involves using implants to enhance the size of a woman’s chest. For many women considering the procedure, the ideal is to look more proportional and feminine without having a harsh shelf, or “muffin top” ridge at the top portion of the chest.
Breast Augmentation – Everything You Ever Wanted to Know
Thinking about breast augmentation? You are not alone. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, about 300,000 women underwent the procedure in 2010.
A Surgeon’s Thoughts on Breast Augmentation
Though breast augmentation with implants is a commonly performed cosmetic procedure, all too often I feel that women can end up looking harsh and overstretched. When I think of the aesthetics of a woman’s breasts, there is the ideal of shape and proportion to the human body, and also the ideal of a “footprint” of the breast in its optimal or most natural position. Let me clarify. It takes some careful planning to respect the dimensions of the implants and how they should fit and be positioned upon a woman’s body.
Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation?
Are you tired of a flat, wide chest and no upper pole fullness? Some women with age or pregnancy develop extra skin. Others may have done the hard work of exercising and losing weight, only to find a less optimal breast shape as a consequence. The result may be “ptosis,” or drooping of the breasts. Now there are several surgical solutions for correction.
Tummy Tuck or Mini-Tummy Tuck: Which is Better?
Tummy tuck, aka abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to tighten up the belly and remove extra skin and fat, sometimes called “muffin tops.” Commonly after pregnancy, age, or significant weight loss, the belly muscle stretches out and a large amount of thinned skin, stretch marks, and fat can develop. Surgery can help to restore your contour and remove extra fat. Now a mini-tummy tuck is a lesser version of the full tummy tuck, which usually means less scarring. Which one is better?
Liposuction Long Term Results
Liposuction is the second most common cosmetic procedure performed in the country, almost 300,000 in 2010. It involves a procedure where special suctioning rods, or cannulas, are used to remove extra fat deposits for improvement of body contour. A common question some people have is the long term outcome of the procedure if weight gain recurs.
Implants for Breast Surgery
In 2010, almost 300,000 cosmetic breast augmentation surgeries were performed in the United States. The popularity of this procedure is due to the overall high satisfaction of women who decide to proceed with surgery. However, it is important for you to be certain if this is what you really want, as implants may require additional future surgeries for maintenance of their optimal appearance.
Brazilian Buttock Lift
Jennifer Lopez, well-endowed with her shapely, full behind started the craze for enhancement of the flat, wide, or saggy buttock. There are exercise tapes, support garments, and now, surgery to give women more lifted and feminine buttocks.
Breast Lift Surgery
When a breast lift is performed, a striking result is that as the extra skin is tightened, breasts that were widened and flattened become rounder and better positioned on the chest. This surgery can bring a lot of satisfaction for women who are already happy with the size of their chest, but the skin has started to sag over time due to pregnancy or age.
