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.

Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment and is used to treat many different conditions, from crows-feet to baldness,  however because Botox is only a semi-permanent procedure it is now finding a new fan-base in the form of people who are wanting to undergo face-lifts but who don’t want to make the leap straight away. 

Botox is being used a quasi-preview procedure for those who are too scared to take the leap into a highly invasive, highly expensive face-lift.  San-Diego dermatologist Dr. Susan Stuart and Dr. Richard Chaffoo, have confirmed this story. “Botox can mimic some of the skin-smoothing effects of facial surgery,” said Dr Stuart. “Patients want a way to test the waters so that they can feel confident revealing their new look in their day-to-day lives,” they have been quoted as saying.

The temporary nature of Botox, used for treating brow furrows and laughter lines, often leads those undergoing the non-invasive injections on to more permanent solution to their quest for younger looking skin. Once patients see the dramatic changes which can be made to their ageing faces, they often feel more confident about the success and the integrity of cosmetic surgery. This confidence is then transferred into the face-lift market which is one of the most successful corners of the plastic surgery market.

Botox is amongst one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the U.K and indeed in the wider world. Kylie Minogue is amongst the celebrities which has been rumoured to have put themselves through the surgical procedure and, as they get older, they may well turn to face-lifts to achieve more lasting results which the needles cannot give. Botox has also been given a boost because of people’s hectic 21st century lives.  Face-lifts might be a better solution but they are incredibly hard to recover from and often people have to take a good few weeks off work. In the current economic climate, when many people are battling to keep hold of their jobs, this just isn’t an option. Botox offers a preview and also offers a stop-gap solution- younger appearances can be gained in the short-term and then, as the effects start to subside along with the worst part of the recession, perhaps more people will come to consider face-lifts as a viable option. One thing is certain, once you have had a taste of looking younger you won’t want to age again!
