Finding the right plastic surgeon has become easier for Americans. Many surgeons have created facebook pages for potential customers to visit. The pages include customer testimonials as well as blogs written by the surgeons themselves. Past patients are able to connect with potential patients to give them advice and share their experiences.

Facebook, privately owned and operated by Facebook, Inc., is a social networking website which allows people to keep in touch. Each member is able to create a profile and send messages back and forth among friends. There are many networks that a person can join in order to network with cities, businesses, schools, and clubs. The website is free to users and generates money through advertisers. Facebook is often compared to myspace, another social networking website.

The rush to add plastic surgery to facebook has many benefits to both the surgeons and the patients. People are able to learn about different procedures and find the right one for them, right from the comfort of their home. They are able to connect with experts and get questions answered directly. This makes finding a plastic surgeon easy and convenient.

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) is also on facebook. Their facebook page includes news about advances in the organization as well as blogs about what to expect from many different procedures. It has connections to other websites that are sponsored by the ASAPS including online journals and loan offers. Minutes from ASAPS meetings can even be viewed and people can keep up with everything that is going on in the plastic surgery field.

Some surgeons use other venues to promote their procedures. Twitter has become popularly used for updating people with new advances in surgeries and the benefits of different types of procedures. Some are even thinking of broadcasting the surgeries on the web. These patients would have their identities protected, while allowing others to see how the procedures are performed.

Modiface, a Canadian website, has a very innovative feature which allows potential patients to see how they will look after a procedure. People who are interested in facial surgery, are allowed to download a photo and then alter it to see what they will look like after a nose job or facelift. Other sites are considering adding the same features for whole body procedures.

Choosing a cosmetic procedure and finding the right surgeon has never been easier. Logging on to facebook can provide unlimited access to tons of information about plastic surgery.

Advances in technology are happening every day, and this is especially true with cosmetic surgery. Through the years, the procedures have been streamlined into very efficient surgeries. Procedures, however, are not the only thing, to have changed in the plastic surgery field. The tools available to surgeons has also improved drastically. One such tool is the patented Vaser Technology and the advanced LipoSelection technique.

Vaser Liposuction has been touted as the next generation in body contouring and quickly been dubbed the ‘magic wand’ liposuction. It uses ultrasonic waves in a unique way. Utrasonic waves have been used in medical procedures for many years, for getting that first look at a baby and also for teeth cleaning. Now a technique has been created to use these ultrasonic waves to liquefy unwanted fat cells. The ultrasonic energy is able to target the fat cells and leave surrounding tissue, such as nerves, connecting tissue and blood vessels, unharmed. The procedure is quick and painless due to a local anesthetic. Vaser Liposuction is the ‘new kid on the block’ in cosmetic surgery and is proving to be very effective.

Carla McKay, a Daily Mail Journalist, wrote an article describing her experience with this magic wand liposuction. She had noticed during her yoga class that her stomach was a ‘sagging lump of excess blubber.’ She decided it was time to have liposuction, and chose the new Vaser Liposuction procedure. She wrote, that the doctor made three small incisions and then rubbed the wand over her belly. She found
that she could feel a slight tugging sensation as the fat was liquefied, but there was no pain. Once he had finished with the wand he sucked the fat out through the incisions.

The whole process took about an hour and a half and after two weeks of wearing a corset Carla was done. She wrote, “My waist has reappeared and my stomach disappeared. I am over the moon. The bag containing nine pairs of old, too-tight jeans has re-emerged from the bottom of my wardrobe and some of them are even too loose for me.” She lost three inches on her waist and is very happy with the results of this new procedure.

Exercise and eating healthy is sometimes not enough to loose that extra fat around the middle. The magic wand is giving people the contours that they have always wanted, but been unable to get.
