Tummy tucks for men in Britain rose 15 percent last year, representing the largest rise in demand for all plastic surgery procedures in Britain last year. Similar to trends in the UK, plastic surgery among men has become increasingly popular in America over recent years.
Like liposuction for men, tummy tucks define body contours by eliminating excess, saggy fat and tissue. A tummy tuck may be especially beneficial for men following:
Weight loss
Bariatric surgery
Intensive exercise regimen that does not eliminate isolated pockets of fat
If you have been unable to achieve a sculpted abdominal area despite your best efforts, a tummy tuck removes […]
A recent New York Times article titled “Ear Doctors Performing Face-Lifts? It happens,” addresses the increasing number of doctors providing plastic surgery procedures to their patients, regardless of the fact that the doctors are not specialists in plastic surgery.
Because elective cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance, doctors can conveniently charge their patients an out-of-pocket cost without the disappointment of a low insurance reimbursement.
So, is there anything wrong with receiving liposuction from an ear, nose and throat doctor? Not necessarily, but the risks of receiving surgery from a non-specialist include:
Unsatisfactory results. Even though a doctor may have surgical experience, satisfactory […]

Recently, there have been a number of news stories about unlicensed surgeons performing plastic surgery procedures on unsuspecting victims. These tragic cases are a reminder of the importance of choosing a plastic surgeon who is qualified and experienced, and who cares for your safety and wellbeing.
Last year, a woman came forward claiming a surgeon injected her buttocks with cement and tire sealant during a buttocks augmentation. Since she made this claim, other victims have come forward. The woman performing the surgeries turned out to be unlicensed.
In October, 2011, a married Columbian couple was convicted for their part in causing the […]
This past month, France urged 30,000 women to remove their breast implants, which were manufactured by the now defunct company Poly Implants Protheses (PIP) – the company was closed down because its silicone implants contained industrial silicone, instead of medical-grade silicone. The breast implants also seem to be more likely to rupture.
The PIP breast implants were sold in Western Europe, South America and Australia. About 40,000 British women have PIP breast implants, and Britain has suggested women consider removing the breast implants due to a high risk of failure; both Britain and France maintain there is no proven link between […]
If you are under 50, now may be the time to consider a facelift. The results may be better, and you may be more satisfied with the results achieved for many years after the procedure.
In a recent study published in the January 2012 issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the satisfaction rates of facelift recipients were compared. The doctors conducting the study assessed both short-term and long-term satisfaction of facelift patients, and then they looked at the satisfaction rates among three age groups: younger than 50, 50 to 60, and over 60.
The study seems to suggest that younger facelift patients […]
As the New Year approaches, many people will make a resolution to lose weight. Although many New Year’s resolutions fly out the window around mid January, some people have been working toward weight loss all year. If you have been shedding pounds, you may want to consider fine-tuning the aesthetic result with a tummy tuck in Dallas.
Losing weight reduces your risk of heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Weight loss can also improve body image and self-esteem.
After all the hard work and dedication going into weight loss, it can be disappointing to see the sagging skin that results. Although […]
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Generation X accounts for a larger portion of plastic surgery consumers than the Baby Boomers. In the coming years, the plastic surgery demand among Generation X is likely to increase.
Baby Boomers – people born between 1946 and 1964 – made up 28 percent of the total 2010 cosmetic surgeries and procedures, according to ASAPS. Generation X – people born between 1965 and 1979 – accounted for 43 percent. Interestingly, there are fewer people belonging to Generation X than to the Baby Boom generation.
The high demand for plastic surgery in the […]
In Dallas, facelift is a great way to restore a more youthful facial appearance. As we age, facial skin begins to droop downward, resulting in a number of undesirable effects. A facelift helps reverse the facial signs of aging.
There is not really a best age for a facelift. Most patients seeking the procedure are in their 40s or 50s, but older and younger people may also be candidates for a facelift. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), people age 55 and older made up 66 percent of facelift patients in 2010. People from age 40 to 54 […]
Facial fillers and BOTOX have the advantage of producing rapid results. Certain plastic surgery procedures require you to plan time for your recovery, including taking time off from work and social events. If you were hoping for a refreshed look for the New Year, facial fillers and BOTOX let you restore facial volume and reduce fine lines with little to no downtime.
There are a number of different facial fillers available. Fillers restore lost facial volume caused by the aging process. Volume loss causes your cheeks to lose fullness, and it causes deep creases to form around your lower cheeks and […]
