According to some plastic surgeons, more patients are requesting buttock lifts and buttock augmentations. Buttock lifts increased 38 percent in 2011 compared to 2010, and buttock implant procedures increased 43 percent in 2011 compared to 2010, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The buttocks and lower body is important to our overall body proportions. Many women desire buttocks and hips that are balanced with the size of their upper bodies. A buttocks lift or augmentation may be the right way for you to achieve the lower body appearance you want.
Butt lifts are often performed as part of a lower […]
With the passing of comedienne Phyllis Diller last month, stories are widespread of her brazen humor, her courage and her self-confidence. Among the praises of Diller is mention of the fact that she never shied away from speaking openly about her facelifts and other plastic surgery procedures she had. Ms. Diller wanted to look a certain way, so she went after that goal.
In years past, plastic surgery was always associated with stardom. To this day, many people assume celebrities are the major consumers of plastic surgery. In fact, everyday women are pursuing their goals – cosmetic and otherwise – just […]
Using data from a few different sources, Men’s Health magazine created a list of “The Most Vain Cities in America.” A major factor in the development of their list was plastic surgery. Specifically, numbers of plastic surgeons and rates at which residents receive plastic surgery.
Although Men’s Health has dubbed certain cities “the vainest,” the list really shows that people in some of America’s biggest, most exciting cities are taking charge of their appearance, which may improve your self-image and confidence. Today, plastic surgery is more commonplace than ever before, and men and women alike are finding ways to look as […]
July is National Bikini Month. Considering plastic surgery before your beach vacation? Here are some common cosmetic procedures to rejuvenate your curves:
Breast augmentation: Creating an appealing overall breast appearance, breast augmentation increases breast volume and restores a pleasant breast shape.
Tummy tuck: Popular among men and women alike, a tummy tuck can eliminate the sagging skin around your midriff. Tummy tucks are especially beneficial following significant weight loss.
Liposuction: If you have pursued a healthy, active lifestyle and are enjoying the benefits of a healthy body, you may have noticed select areas of fat that do not respond to weight loss efforts. […]
A new study suggests common plastic surgery procedures, including tummy tuck and liposuction, change more than your physical self. Presented at a meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the study looked at the effect plastic surgery had upon the lives of 105 patients of various ages.
After plastic surgery, the majority of patients experienced:
Positive impact psychologically
Better quality of life
Improved self image
These positive effects likely come from an improved body image. A woman who has breast enlargement may feel more confident and at-home in her body once her breasts have been enlarged. When you feel good about the way […]
A new exhibit from photographer Phillip Toledano is a series of images of people who have undergone plastic surgery. These men and women have undergone combinations of different facial rejuvenation procedures, as well as breast augmentation and pec implants.
The results of the procedure can be described as “extreme.” The results are obviously not supposed to look natural, and perhaps one of the main ideas of the exhibit is to challenge the very idea of beauty. Portraying subjects in something like Renaissance-style portraiture, Toledano’s work has been called the “BOTOX Botticellis” by some media sources. With resolute facial expressions, the subjects […]
According to a report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the top five cosmetic surgery procedures in 2011 were:
Breast augmentation
Rhinoplasty
Liposuction
Eyelid surgery
Facelift
Facelifts had the greatest increase with a five percent rise from 2010.
According to the information from the ASPS 2011 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, significantly more people sought plastic surgery in 2011, even with a sluggish economy. Actual surgical procedures rose by 2 percent from 2010, while non-surgical procedures increased 6 percent. Overall, total cosmetic procedures were up 5 percent from 2010.
At the Cosmetic Surgical Center, plastic surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai has extensive experience in cosmetic surgical procedures. Despite […]
More people are learning about plastic surgery procedures online, according to a study from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The study had several findings, including:
42 percent of patients learned most of the information they knew about plastic surgery from social media, an increase from only 29 percent of patients in 2010.
Patients who learned their information from friends dropped to 48 percent, down from 63 percent in 2010.
Most of the surgeons surveyed in the study said that their patients describe their areas of cosmetic dissatisfaction rather than asking for a specific plastic surgery procedure, such as liposuction […]
According to one survey, labiaplasty – a cosmetic procedure improving the appearance of elongated or large inner vulva lips – has high rates of patient satisfaction.
The survey was distributed to plastic surgeons who are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The study was designed to look at things like the effectiveness of different labiaplasty techniques, as well as outcomes and patient satisfaction. Of the 750 surgeons who responded to the survey, the average patient satisfaction rate reported was more than 95 percent for all techniques, and there was no significant statistical difference when comparing the satisfaction rates among […]
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 […]
