The Cosmetic Surgery Wish List: Hair Replacement?

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Hair Loss, Male Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: Bauman Medical Group, breasts, cosmetic surgery, Cosmetic treatment, facial procedures, Flap surgery, hair replacement, Hair replacement procedures, hair replacement technique, plastic surgery, procedures for breasts, reconstructive surgery, replacement surgery, stomachs, thighs — admin @ 7:29 pm

Advancements in plastic surgery have allowed for the range of different procedures to become very extensive. There are procedures for breasts, thighs, stomachs, and calves. The number of different facial procedures alone is huge. There is even a procedure that can make wearing high heels pain free. A very high ranking procedure on the wish list for both men and women is hair replacement.

Harris Interactive recently performed a survey on behalf of RealSelf.com to put together a plastic surgery wish list for 2010. The survey included 2,227 adults of which 54 percent said that, if money was not considered, they would have plastic surgery. Of those who said they would have a procedure done, many would have hair replacement surgery (25 percent of women and 20 percent of men). People have often
looked for a way to arrest a receding hair line, thinning hair, or a bald spot. Many have tried those hair re-growth sprays, with no luck. Hair replacement procedures would be a great choice for someone who wants to get rid of that embarrassing feature.

There are many different surgical procedures available for hair replacement. Flap surgery has been successfully performed for over 20 years and is able to cover large areas of baldness. Tissue expansion is commonly used for reconstructive surgery to repair areas of substantial skin loss, but it is also now being used as a hair replacement technique with great success. One of the most common forms of hair replacement surgery is grafting. Where hair bearing skin is removed from a donor area and placed in the balding spots. There are also many promising procedures undergoing clinical trials. There are many things to consider when choosing what technique will be best for each person and a good surgeon will be able to help with that decision.

Some estimate that 20 percent of all women will suffer some sort of hair loss due to ageing, menopause, or illness. The hair loss is usually a gradual thinning all over the scalp as compared to men who are more likely to loose hair in localized areas. Alan Bauman is a board certified hair restoration surgeon and founder of Bauman Medical Group in Boca Raton Florida. He is a leader in hair replacement surgeries and said, “I’m not surprised that RealSelf.com’s new survey on cosmetic treatment preferences clearly showed there is a strong desire among both men and women for better hair through hair transplants.”

The study showed a great amount of interest in plastic surgical procedures by the people surveyed. People want to make themselves look good and feel confident. Hair replacement procedures can allow them to do just that.

Look Younger With Fuller Lips

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Facial Surgery, Female Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: cosmetic surgery, crows-feet, eyelids, Facial plastic surgery, Fuller Lips, Injectable fillers, Lip augmentation, lip augmentation surgery, lip thickness, lips fuller, predominantly full lipped, wrinkles filled — admin @ 4:01 pm

The new techniques available in cosmetic surgery allow for a wide range of changes that can be made to the face. Crow’s feet can be erased, wrinkles filled, and eyelids changed. The nose and chin can be sculpted in many ways, bigger or smaller, pointier of flatter. However, the best facial plastic surgery for wiping years off of a woman’s age is a procedure to make the lips fuller and poutier.

David Gunn, a scientist at Unilever, coordinated a research project which studied the possibility of full lips being a genetic factor. He discovered that the changes in lip fullness were caused more by genes than any other outside factor. A woman who has the genetic marker to get thin lips cannot prevent it from happening as she gets older. Keeping those full, pouty lips can only be achieved through cosmetic surgery.

The study analyzed the faces of nearly 400 women between the ages of 45 and 81, including some pairs of twins. Results showed that there were more than seven fold variations in lip thickness for the women over sixty. The lip thicknesses ranged from a mere 3mm from the top of the upper lip to the bottom of the lower lip, to a pouty 2.2cm. It was observed that the thicker her lips were, the younger the woman looked. Gunn was quoted as saying, “When we identified people who looked young for their age, we were struck by the difference in their lips.”

A woman can have thin wispy hair and wrinkled skin, but if her lips are full she will still look years younger than if they were thin. Fortunately lip augmentation can be a quick and easy procedure. There are a few different brands of injectable fillers that do not require surgery, some of which are temporary. Also implants can be surgically placed in the lips to create that fuller look. When a woman is deciding to have a lip augmentation it is important to find the procedure that is right for her.

In the media it is indeed obvious that the women voted to be the sexiest are predominantly full lipped. Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox and Scarlet Johansson are a few beauties who have those pouty lips. Women can increase their sex appeal and boost their confidence with a simple procedure to fill out their lips. In fact it is rumored that Fox herself underwent plastic surgery to make her lips more pouty.

Looking and feeling younger has finally become attainable. Women filling out their lips with a lip augmentation can peel some of those years away, creating a fresh young look.

Teenagers: Enthusiastic About Plastic Surgery?

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Teenage Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: bigger breasts, cosmetic surgery, eenagers are enthusiastic about plastic surgery, plastic surgeries, plastic surgical procedures, teenagers and plastic surgery, teenagers and platic surgery — admin @ 3:37 pm

The quantity of plastic surgical procedures performed continues to top record numbers each year. Cosmetic surgery has become progressively more popular and is available to a wider range of individuals. Older people have procedures done to look younger and over-weight people get surgery done to be thinner. Men and women alike undergo plastic surgery to reshape the contours of their body. It has even been shown that teenagers are enthusiastic about plastic surgery.

A research study performed by GoodSurgeonGuide.co.ik said that 41 percent of girls between the ages of 13-16 years old are already considering a cosmetic procedure. That’s a little more than two in every five girls. Of the girls who said that they wanted a procedure done, 62 percent said they wanted bigger breasts, 55 percent wanted to change their teeth and 49 percent wanted some form of surgery for weight loss. Around 33 percent also thought that some nose work would be good too.

The study asked 1,012 girls in this age group about their views on cosmetic procedures and the answers were overwhelmingly positive from most of the girls. The media today has raised the awareness of the public concerning plastic surgeries. The majority of this media coverage is very flattering and thus, many people are more comfortable with considering cosmetic surgeries. It is not surprising that young girls have dreams of undergoing a procedure to make themselves more beautiful.

When asked about what concerns are making the girls consider plastic surgeries their answers were typical. Many teens are picked on at school about something and physical appearance is usually on the top of the list for bullies to pick at. Twenty-five percent of the girls said that they would change their appearance so that they would no longer be bullied about it at school. Celebrity worship is another category that pushed these girls to consider having plastic surgery. Most girls have some celebrity role model whom they idolize. Eleven percent said that considering a cosmetic procedure hinged on the fact that their celebrity role model had some plastic surgery done. Society promotes good looking bodies and pretty faces, as necessary for success, and teens see this idea everywhere they look.

Some of these teens, 49 percent, wanted to have the procedure now and 7 percent had already had some plastic surgery done. The co-founder of GoodSurgeonGuide.co.uk, Christiana Clogg commented, “If parents find themselves in situations where their children want surgery and they decide to support them, it is vital that the correct research is carried out to ensure teenagers don’t become victims of bad surgeons.”

Shrink Those Moobs : A New Cosmetic Surgery Procedure

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Male Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Body Tite, Body Tite surgery, Bodytite, collagen contraction, cosmetic surgery, Cosmetic Surgery procedure, cosmetic surgery procedures, enlarged breasts, gynecomastia, liposuction, mammary glands, man boobs, moobs, radiofrequency assisted technology, Royal Marsden Hospital, sagging skin, Shrink Those Moobs, tightening the skin — admin @ 10:14 am

Many men suffer from the humiliation of having man boobs, termed moobs. Those who can afford it have had no option but to use liposuction which has a tendency to leave sagging skin. A new procedure, called Body Tite, has been introduced as an alternative to this solution.

Men with gynecomastia, the development of abnormally large mammary glands, walk through life with enlarged breasts. This condition is commonly found in adolescent boys and it usually goes away within a couple of years. Some, however, do not disappear and it is these unfortunate men that will greatly benefit form this new procedure. Some men merely have excess fatty tissue in their chest that they would like to get rid of and the work out scene just isn’t making the cut.

Body Tite surgery has been shown to remove the unwanted fat while tightening the skin. It utilizes radiofrequency assisted technology which applies heat energy uniformly over the chest. This energy liquefies the fat which is then liposuction out. The heating also allows for collagen contraction which tightens the tissue and skin in the area. This procedure has been reported relatively fast in comparison to
the previous moob solution of liposuction.

Dr Milles Berry is a consultant plastic surgeon at the Royal Marsden Hospital and says that this procedure is also much less painful than liposuction. In liposuction there is quite a bit a pulling and pushing of the cannula to remove the fat cells. The Body Tite surgery eliminates the need for all of this force. The liquefying of the fat allows for a smooth removal that is relatively pain free.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons disclosed that there has been a large escalation in the number of men undergoing breast reduction procedures. In fact the number of these surgeries has shown an eighty percent increase in the last year, with 581 surgeries performed in 2009.

During this time of the year when many are searching just a little harder for love. They may think that a little tuck here or there might give them a better chance at finding it.

He sees the same increase each year and says that at this time of year ‘everyone wants to look good’. He reports that the most common procedures near Valentine’s day are changes in the nose and under the chin. A new trend is now rising, though. A large increase in the amount of people getting dimple creation surgery has been seen.

Cosmetic surgery used to be a thing for the rich and famous. The increase in procedures shows that this is no longer the case. Due to an increased confidence in the results of the surgeries, many people are getting procedures done all around the world. This increase in the range of peoples making use of cosmetic surgeries is accredited to the fact that many people have more money now. The increase in surgeries has also allowed the price of the procedures to drop substantially.

These factors have allowed men and women to attain the body that they always dreamed of. Valentine’s day is a perfect time to gift that special partner in a person’s life. A surgeon, at the Divine Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, named Amit Gupta says that it is normal to see a twenty percent increase in procedures requested around Valentine’s.

Cosmetic surgery is indeed on the rise. The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons reported that, in 2009, there were around 34,187 procedures performed in the UK alone. This is over three times the amount performed in 2003 which was around 10,700 procedures.

2009 : Record Year for Male Breast Reduction

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Male Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: baaps, blepharoplasty, breast reduction, British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, consultant plastic surgeon and BAAPS Secretary, cosmetic surgery, enlarged breasts, eyelid surgery, Gynaecomastia, large mammary glands, liposuction, mail breast reduction, male procedures, male surgical procedures, Mr. Rajiv Grover, nose jobs, plastic surgery, plastic surgical procedures, radiofrequency assisted technology, remove the fat cells, Rhinoplasty, tightening the loose skin — admin @ 12:07 pm

According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), the number of men undergoing plastic surgical procedures has risen substantially in 2009. The increase is an amazing 21% in overall procedures performed on men. Cosmetic surgery is quickly becoming a men’s trend too.

The BAAPS reported that the increase in male procedures was most profoundly shown in the breast reduction (gynaecomastia). These procedures rose an astounding 80% between 2008, with 581 procedures. It is the third most popular procedure in men behind nose-jobs (rhinoplasty) and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).

Many men have excess fat cells across there chest that they wish to have removed. Some even suffer from gynecomastia, the development of abnormally large mammary glands resulting in enlarged breasts. Men have tried in vain to get rid this excess fat through work outs, and diet plans.  Out of options, men have turned to plastic surgery to rid them of the embarrassing flab on their chests.

Many new advancements in technology have improved many of the procedures for plastic surgery. In fact, a new procedure is now available for breast reduction which utilizes radiofrequency assisted technology. This technology allows for a much less invasive procedure to remove the fat cells while at the same time tightening the loose skin. This replaces the painful pushing and pulling of liposuction and is drawing more and more patients.

The media has also made an impact on the plastic surgery scene. Mr. Rajiv Grover, consultant plastic surgeon and BAAPS Secretary said, “This year we have recorded a dramatic rise in a number of male surgical procedures, probably due to heightened media attention, which has allowed men to realize the positive outcomes that can be achieved.”

The negative opinion that society once had toward plastic surgery no longer exists. People are much less judgmental of others who have undergone such a procedure and thus everyone is more apt to talk about the results of their procedure. With the plethora of positive testimonials available men are more inclined to consider a procedure to give them the body that they desire.

Surge of Plastic Surgeries in UK

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Female Cosmetic Surgery, Male Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: baaps, breast reduction, British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, cosmetic surgeries, cosmetic surgery, men undergoing cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery, plastic surgical procedures, underwent cosmetic procedures — admin @ 11:58 am

Over the past ten years plastic surgery has shed the shackles of negative opinion and emerged as a popular way to get the desirable body. Cosmetic surgery is no longer restricted to the rich and famous. Now they are common place throughout the masses around the world.

The UK is not exempt from this craze. In fact, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) , the overall number of plastic surgical procedures rose from 34,187 in 2008 to 36,482 in 2009. The public interest in cosmetic procedures is continuously growing in the UK, whereas the popularity is actually lessening in the US. There was a twelve percent decrease in cosmetic surgeries in the US from 2008-2009.

The number of women who underwent cosmetic procedures in 2009 was 32,859. Which is an increase of 5.4% over 2008. The highest change in procedures was breast reduction with in increase of 17%. As Cosmetic surgery becomes more mainstream, women are more confident in the procedures and thus are more willing to undergo plastic surgery.

There has also been a substantial rise in the number of men undergoing cosmetic surgery. The BAAPS reported that 3,623 men had plastic surgery in 2009, 21% more than in 2008. The area that increased the most for men was also breast reduction with an astounding increase of 80%. Increased media attention to plastic surgery is surely one of the reasons that more men have decided to undergo procedures. With more men seeing the positive outcomes of cosmetic surgery, the number of procedures will surely continue to rise.

Plastic surgery procedures have been improving over the years. New technology allows some procedures to be done with much less pain and the surgeries are becoming progressively faster. These technological advances have made plastic surgery less invasive and most of the recovery time is spent at home, instead of in the hospital. As these improvements are witnessed by more and more people the increase in the popularity of plastic surgery in the UK will persist.

Judgmental Attitudes Toward Plastic Surgery Have Lessened

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Non-Surgical Treatments — Tags: AACS, AACS survey, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, Botox, Breast Augmentation, Cosmetic Procedures, cosmetic surgery, face lifts, non-invasive procedures, plastic surgery, Tummy Tucks — admin @ 11:48 am

The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) released a survey whose results showed that more than seventy percent of the people surveyed believe that society is less judgmental about cosmetic procedures. A breathtaking majority of these US citizens believe that plastic surgery is more accepted than it was five years ago.

Society has quickly become less judgmental about people who have undergone procedures. People who had plastic surgery were at one time considered to be vain and self-absorbed. People believed that plastic surgery was the easy way out and that a person could not truly appreciate their new beauty if they did not work to get it. As these surgeries become more commonplace people have discarded these short-sighted and judgmental views.

Some of the judgment by society was merely due to the fact that only the rich and famous were undergoing plastic surgery. This made people feel like it was just another way for the famous to get their pictures taken. Cosmetic surgery is not as expensive today and many people have more money to spend. These procedures are no longer just for the rich. When a person knows someone close to them that has undergone such a procedure they become less judgmental and more curious.

As these procedures move toward becoming mainstream, society has more information about plastic surgery. When a person sees the abounding positive information concerning cosmetic procedures it is difficult for them to maintain a critical opinion of them. One fifth of the participants in the AACS survey said that the shift in societies opinion toward plastic surgery has encouraged them to consider undergoing a procedure themselves.

The results of the study found that the three most accepted invasive procedures were breast augmentation, face lifts and tummy tucks. Of non-invasive procedures laser hair removal and Botox were the most accepted procedures. Around twenty percent of the participants said that they would consider having a procedure done and people under forty were twice as likely to consider it.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) released a survey whose results showed that more than seventy percent of the people surveyed believe that society is less judgmental about cosmetic procedures.

Feel Like Someone New With Breast Augmentation?

Ashley Alongi has stated that she feels like a totally new person after having a breast augmentation. This might not sound too surprising since many people claim to feel fresh and new after cosmetic surgery, however this woman has a special story to go along with her statement.

Ashley was born with no breast tissue and went through life embarrassed by this fact. She spent much of her life trying to hide from everyone. She was disconcerted with her lack of breasts and never felt confident enough to pursue a relationship. Most women who undergo a breast augmentation want to increase the cup size of their existing breasts. Ashley wanted to increase the size of her non-existent breasts.

She told the Scottish Daily Record that she had always been hiding from her friends, family, and colleagues. She couldn’t go bra shopping with her friends because she couldn’t wear one. She wore baggy jumpers at school to hide the lack of breasts, because she feared being ridiculed and bullied. Her growing up experience was far from nice and would better be described as traumatic.

After finding that estrogen pills did not help her, she knew surgery was the only option she had. She had been told that she could get the operation on the NHS but upon seeing the waiting list of eight years, she decided to save her money waitressing and pay for a cosmetic procedure herself. At the age of 25 she was
finally able to save up enough money to climb out of the pall created by her less than 32AA breasts.

Her new 34DD boobs have been a huge blessing. She has more confidence than she had ever imagined possible. She loves to go underwear shopping and relishes wearing form fitting shirts. She is finally on the lookout for a relationship. She said to the Scottish Daily Record, “I am ready for love because at long last I love myself.” Her family has also called her ‘a new person’ since her surgery.

A Fresh New Year’s Resolution : Look and Feel Great With Plastic Surgery

Filed under: Body Contouring, Breast Augmentation, Cosmetic Surgery News — Tags: Body Contouring, breast enhancement, breast reduction, cosmetic surgery, Dr. Richard Chaffoo, exercise equipment, facial procedures, liposuction, liposuction procedures, New Year's Resolution, person's self-esteem, plastic surgery, surgical procedures, triple board-certified plastic surgeon, Weight Loss — admin @ 12:33 pm

When the new year comes around people begin to set goals for the next segment of their lives. Some decide to quit smoking cigarettes or stop eating so many snacks. Others get a new membership to the gym or buy exercise equipment. But now a new trend has arisen for these New Year’s resolutions: plastic surgery.

Dr. Richard Chaffoo, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon, indicated that people are seeking a fresh new look in the new year. In a press release he says that “Most New Year’s resolutions boil down to one simple desire: to look and feel more like the person you want to be.” Many people may have met their goals of weight loss for the previous year but when they look in the mirror they don’t see the thin fit body that they were looking for. They have exhausted their repertoire and are looking something to shape their body into the shape that they want.

The most popular procedures throughout the whole year are breast reduction and liposuction. New Year’s is no exception. An increase in the volume of breast enhancement and liposuction procedures is always seen at the beginning of the year. These procedures enhance the contours of the body and give the desired look that many people are looking for. Body contouring is exactly what a person is looking for when they have lost a significant amount of weight.

Most people do not realize how important the facial procedures are to a person’s self-esteem. When someone wants to look and feel great the range of facial plastic surgeries available can do just that. When loosing weight the face begins to thin out and become more angular, which is good. But the loss of fat cells in the face usually uncovers problem areas in the face that were not noticeable before, such as crow’s feet and gauntness in the cheeks. These features can easily be fixed with a face lift or eyelid surgery.

As each New Year approaches, the popularity of surgical procedures will increase, as people continue to search for that elusive feeling of well-being. Dr. Chaffoo says, “I see cosmetic surgery as a way to help people live to their full potential….simpler pleasures really are taking center stage and encouraging people
to take a fresh look at themselves.” Looking and feeling great is a very important aspect in a persons life and plastic surgery can make it a reality.
