Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) March 06, 2012

According to the recently released 2011 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), facelifts have made a resurgence in popularity amongst Americans, increasing by 5% since 2010 to approximately 119,000 performed, and have found their way into the top five cosmetic surgical procedures for the first time since 2004. Dr. Charles Perry, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Sacramento, says he has observed a similar trend at his practice and believes the origin of the rising demand for facelifts to be linked to the common request for combined facial procedures as well as an aging baby boomer population. ?People are excited about taking control of their appearance, and we believe in helping our patients achieve their goals. As the boomer generation reaches later stages in life, many of our patients are looking to maintain their appearance and reduce the signs of aging through a natural looking procedure. We also are seeing younger patients now in their forties and fifties looking to maintain their appearance in the most effective ways for their individual needs.?

With the growing popularity of facelifts, Dr. Perry says he has also been performing more combinations of facial procedures such as brow lifts and eyelid surgery in Sacramento on patients in their mid forties and fifties. He says undergoing multiple procedures at once offers a number of benefits to patients, including reduced downtime and recovery, as well as noticeably enhanced results in improving one?s appearance and helping one look and feel younger more harmoniously. Dr. Perry adds that with rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and facelift all in the top five cosmetic surgical procedures performed, the popularity of facial procedures will undoubtedly contribute to greater advancements and improvements in the techniques and technology available to doctors and patients.

Dr. Perry says the combination of procedures is especially exciting in the cosmetic enhancement environment. ?The combination of new technologies is allowing for individual customization of procedures. These new tools address the many different signs of aging in a more complete way. And as our patients are more educated about the many options available they often are requesting several procedures at once to achieve the look they desire.?

Whether patients are looking for a combination of facial procedures or a single procedure like a facelift in Sacramento, Dr. Perry says he strongly recommends consulting with an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon before undergoing any treatment. He says partnering with a board-certified plastic surgeon ensures patients receive the highest level of care from a passionate and personable practice. ?We find that plastic surgeons that maintain their board certification are often the ones that have dedicated themselves to a life-long learning process. While this is no guarantee of excellent results, being board certified demonstrates a commitment to excellence. By doing their homework, patients can find that surgeon that has dedicated their professional life to achieving excellence as viewed by their colleagues.?

Common Plastic Surgery Procedures'

Plastic surgery is a type of medical procedure involving the restoration of defective or injured body parts. It isn't always about improving one's beauty, although its cosmetic practice is becoming very prominent these days. In some cases, the recovery or enhancement of the function of one's body parts is the main goal.

In New Tampa, Florida, surgeons perform different kinds of plastic surgery. Patients range from those who have imperfections in the functioning of their body parts to those who simply want their figures or features to look more beautiful. Two of the most common surgical procedures performed by plastic surgery professionals in the area are eye lifts and breast lifts.

Eyes are an important part of the human anatomy. Some flaws which may hinder the proper operation of one's eyes include an insufficient or an excessive amount of eyelids.

Individuals who lack eyelids may experience difficulties with their vision. This case is very common among Asians, which is why a separate form of eyelid surgery has been designed to fix this.  The procedure is known as Asian eyelid surgery or Asian blepharoplasty.

A blepharoplasty, a more technical term for eye lift New Tampa surgery, is carried out by making incisions along the natural creases of the patient's eyes.  This is done to hide any scars which may form. An added advantage of a blepharoplasty is the short time it takes for it to heal, making it a very convenient procedure. Besides improving one's sight, it makes the eyes look fresher and more attractive.

Another kind of plastic surgery is breast lift New Tampa operation or breast augmentation.

This operation is done on a person's breasts to improve their dimensions, size, and shape. This has consistently been one of the most patronized forms of plastic surgery in the United States. Women feel more confident when their breast sizes are proportional to their body figure.

A choice of two different kinds of material to be placed inside a patient's skin is available for breast lift New Tampa surgeries: silicone and saline water. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Patients who will undergo breast enhancement surgery have a right to choose which material to use prior to the procedure.

Plastic Surgery Information

The three most common types of plastic surgery are aesthetic surgery, cosmetic surgery, and reconstructive surgery. In plastic surgery, a doctor or surgeon will take parts of your tissue and rearrange it on another part of your body so that you can get the desired results that you are looking for.

When skin is transferred to another part of the body, it is often called skin grafting. The whole purpose of skin grafting is to reconstruct or improve the patient's body part of choice. In most cases reconstructive surgery is used but cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is used lots as well.

I am going to give you a brief introductory into the three different types of plastic surgery and what they mean and how they can affect you.

Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive plastic surgery is generally done when a patient has had an accident or some type of serious damage done to them.

Some examples of accidents that usually involve this kind of plastic surgery are burns from fires, infections from diseases, bone fractures and many more.

Generally this type of surgery can be used to improve nerve function and also the look of the skin tissue.

Cosmetic and Aesthetic Surgery

Cosmetic and Aesthetic Surgery is often used to change the appearance of someone because they are not satisfied with the way they look.

This type of surgery is often used by celebrities and the media. Although this type of surgery is perfectly fine, there are many risks that are involved with it. One of the biggest risks is plastic surgery addiction. This is when a patient gets addicted to the practice and ends up spending a lot of money.

If you are interested in getting plastic surgery done on yourself then do some research so that you know what you are getting yourself into.

You should be well aware of all the risks that are usually involved with getting surgery.

You will want to make sure that the operation that you are getting done is what you want and that your surgeon is up to par with your expectations. It is not a good idea to cheap out on a surgeon just because you want to save yourself a few bucks.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

At his surgical center for plastic surgery in Orlando, Dr. James Matas says demand for aesthetic procedures amongst male patients has been steadily growing over the past few years. He says body contouring and lifting procedures are particularly popular for men, including procedures such as male breast reduction, tummy tucks, and liposuction in Orlando. The recent release of 2011 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) confirms Dr. Matas' observations.

Dr. Matas says the surge in demand for male cosmetic enhancements comes as no surprise considering that a majority of Americans now approve of such procedures, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). He says male patients can now enjoy confidence not only in their bodies, but also in their decision to undergo an aesthetic procedure as the stigma against male enhancement lessens. Whether patients may have lost a tremendous amount of weight or are simply looking for a facial rejuvenation procedure to improve their success in the job hunt, Dr. Matas says more men can now pursue cosmetic resolutions for returning their appearance to its optimal shape and tone. "Self consciousness drives most men to our office because as plastic surgeons we are uniquely trained to dedicate specific attention to improving their self esteem."

With the recent increase in demand for plastic surgery procedures such as male breast reduction and tummy tuck, Dr. Matas also says the market for expansion and development will only continue to grow. He says advancements in effective, minimally invasive body contouring procedures have already been introduced and he hopes they will continue to be perfected as more male patients continue to seek aesthetic procedures. Dr. Matas also adds that he urges those interested in a cosmetic enhancement for men to pursue the experience and expertise of a board-certified plastic surgeon. "Most of our male patients are looking to correct an area that they feel insecure about with minimal downtime and few complications. Performing their surgery as outpatient under the care of a board certified plastic surgeon and in a fully accredited surgical facility also puts them at ease.?

Park City, UT (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

An informal poll has led the staff at LipoSite.com ? an established, online resource for information about liposuction and other body contouring procedures ? to believe that the uninformed jump to unusual conclusions.

?We tossed the term TUAL out there to see what kind of response we might get from consumers outside of our industry,? says Shawn Miele of LipoSite.com. ?What came back at us was, at times, was comical ? but surgery, certainly, is no laughing matter.?

Admittedly, he explains, faithful LipoSite.com readers have little trouble deciphering the acronym ? which stands for Transdermal Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty. Strangers to the term, however, are generally confused. The most unusual responses include everything from a ?trendy new baby name? to a ?European dance craze?.

?I suppose that last guess comes closest,? responds Miele. ?TUAL therapy is a cutting-edge body sculpting technique that?s available in Europe and Canada only. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has not approved transdermal liposuction in the U.S.?

LipoSite.com recently posted a related article in response to those findings which explains TUAL as a non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction. The procedure works best when fat deposits are localized, the body requires minimal reshaping and the use of a cannula or other device would be deemed unnecessary.

Yet, the FDA has only thus far approved clinical trials involving transdermal liposuction.

?Our readers and other consumers want to know what transdermal liposuction is, when it will be available in the U.S. and how it differs from existing, FDA-approved forms of traditional and laser liposuction,? adds Miele.

?But, we want them to know that ? if and when it is available in the U.S. ? they should look closely at the procedure, its risks and benefits and weigh them carefully against their own circumstances. Any U.S. plastic surgeon offering TUAL is doing so illegally unless they are involved in an FDA approved clinical trial.?

?Liposuction serves a real and valid purpose. People who?ve achieved their weight loss goals or spent years dieting and exercising with little change in the appearance of stubborn fat deposits get great results from existing forms of liposuction. We?d never suggest they delay treatment in favor of a procedure that?s not yet established.?

During transdermal liposuction, ultrasonic energy is used to disrupt fatty tissue below the skin. Once that tissue is ruptured, the body?s own natural processes eliminate them as waste. Traditional liposuction is proven to remove more fat per treatment than TUAL therapy, which requires multiple sessions and offers results after 8 to 12 weeks.

The full article is currently available online at LipoSite.com. Once there, consumers can learn more about transdermal liposuction, traditional liposuction and laser liposuction. They can also research other body contouring and body sculpting procedures and search through online databases of board-certified plastic surgeons and liposuction before and after photos.

About LipoSite.com: What began as a girlfriend-to-girlfriend resource for information about plastic surgery after weight loss (in 1998) has grown into a full-fledged resource. Consumers can read articles about liposuction and related procedures, search our board-certified surgeon database and verify doctor credentials online ? for free ? 24/7.
