Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures

Article by David Perez

Plastic surgery is a popular term to hear these days. Whether it?s for an accident victim or someone simply looking to enhance a feature they are displeased with, plastic surgery has something to offer to just about anyone.

Breast Augmentation

One of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures today is the Breast Augmentation or Breast implant procedure. Breast implants are silicone shells filled with either salt water or silicone gel that are placed behind each breast, underneath either breast tissue or the chest wall muscle. The procedure, lasting only one to two hours, is typically performed with general anesthesia.

Women may decide to have a breast augmentation done for many different medical and aesthetic reasons. A Breast Augmentation allows women with small or unevenly sized breasts to acquire a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned chest. The procedure may also be combined with others such as a breast lift for even more satisfying results.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, better known as a Tummy Tuck, helps flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin.

The best Abdominoplasty candidates are those who have pockets of fat or loose skin that haven't responded well to diet and exercise. Women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy are also ideal candidates for receiving an Abdominoplasty.

The procedure takes around two to five hours and can be performed with general or local anesthesia. The procedure will likely leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips, although it should be minimal and low enough for even a bikini to conceal it. Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months. With a balanced diet and regular exercise, Abdominoplasty results are long lasting.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that is typically performed to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck, and upper arms. When having Liposuction done, Anesthesia, local or general, may be used. Patients can expect the procedure to last anywhere from one to five hours depending on the amount of fat being removed.

Currently the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the U.S., there are several different methods surgeons use when performing liposuction. Some of these methods include ultrasound-assisted lipectomy and suction-assisted lipectomy. With both methods, fluid is injected into the area to be treated. Then a tiny incision is made in and a small tube breaks up the fat layer and suctions it out.

Advancement of Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery has certainly come a long way since first being experimented with all the way back in 800 BC. It is no surprise plastic surgery has become so popular. With new technology, plastic surgeons now leave their patients looking better, feeling better, with little to almost no sign of scarring from these procedures left behind at all.

Do Celebrities Regret Plastic Surgery?

Article by Cynthia Rowland

What do celebrities such as Kathy Griffin, David Gest, Kenny Rogers, Jill Saward and others regret?

Do other celebrities such as Priscilla Presley, Cher, Joan Rivers and Melanie Griffith have the same regrets?

Are Michael Jackson, his sisters Janet and LaToya and Jackie Stallone related or do they, too, harbor regrets?

What do these celebrities have in common that causes them angst? Why, plastic surgery, of course!

Do you find it interesting that celebrities who can afford the very best surgeons and care often find themselves the butt of cruel jokes regarding their choices of using surgery and injections that were supposed to make them look younger?

Living in the limelight can certainly have its advantages and perks but there is a downside to living life on the red carpet and that is most likely why celebrities subject themselves to constant scrutiny that results in multiple procedures.

From nose jobs to breast implants, brow lifts to face lifts, cheek and chin implants, to eye lifts and regular use of Botox and fillers, the celebrity population keeps the plastic surgery business alive on both coasts.

John Q. Public loves celebrities and some even want to emulate them. Just peruse any woman's magazine and you will find knock-off clothing suggestions from shoes, jewelry, sweaters, tops, slacks to coats coaxing the reader to look like a celebrity. Buying knock-off clothing and accessories to emulate a celebrity is just one step from wanting Jennifer Anniston's nose or Madonna's new cheek implants.

Aging with style and grace has been compromised with the advent of injections that plump and paralyze; add cutting perfectly healthy tissue, a very generous and sustained publicity blast that has kept these modalities forever in our psyche, and voila - faces are being cut, sutured, injected and altered at an alarming rate.

Do the procedures really help men and women to look younger and healthier? Do the risks outweigh the outcome?

Donda West and her untimely death easily comes to mind when you consider risks and benefits. Like Ms. West, many men and women in her age group have hidden health challenges that may not be uncovered until it is too late. Choosing a well qualified surgeon is paramount; disclosing all medications, vitamin usage, previous health concerns and procedures will assist your health provider to determine your eligibility for plastic surgery. Choose a surgeon in good standing with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Plastic surgery is not a walk in the park.

Every surgery has its risks and dangers. Surviving a surgery then contracting MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is highly possible. This makes recovery especially difficult because eighty percent of facelift surgery infections are MRSA "Superbugs" according to a study conducted by researchers from the Lennox Hill-Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital and published in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery.

Other risks of cutting and suturing are that the results may not be what you anticipated. The skin surrounding the incision may not heal or act like your skin did previous to the procedure. Once healthy skin is cut, it is never the same. There is usually a loss of sensation (think Joan Rivers in the Geico commercial when she laments that she cannot feel her face) because the blood supply to the area has been diminished.

Injections that plump and paralyze do not always produce the desired results either. Too many visits with the syringe and you can begin to look freakish as taut and shiny are not synonymous with beauty and youth on a face that is trying to disguise old, wrinkled and droopy.

So what's the healthy solution for creating a younger looking face so the user doesn't have to suffer from invasive injections or risky surgeries?

The healthy solution is facial exercises. That's right, just as exercise works to trim, slim and tighten your waist, tummy, hips, thighs, torso and arms, facial exercises will address each slack, droopy facial feature and begin to systematically from the inside out tighten, tone and lift the areas that make you look old, tired and even lop-sided.

Facial exercises are more reliable than surgical procedures and injections because they can return your face to the look you enjoyed years ago. Your friends and family will easily recognize you as you present a fresh, pretty face for the world to see.

Antelope Valley, CA (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

Plastic surgeon Dr. Marc Lussier says he has seen a noticeable increase in breast augmentation in Antelope Valley, a fact mirrored by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). In its latest survey, ASAPS reported that there were over 318,000 breast augmentation procedures performed in 2010. Total cosmetic surgical procedures were counted at over 1.6 million, a 9% increase since 2009. Dr. Lussier says the rise in plastic surgery procedures performed, particularly breast augmentation, is likely due to the rise in approval of cosmetic enhancement, now at 51% of the American population, according to ASAPS. Dr. Lussier also adds that patients are beginning to take advantage of recent developments in plastic surgery technology as the economy shows signs of recovery. As new innovations, such as breast augmentation surgery techniques and implant options emerge in the field, he says plastic surgery will only continue to grow in popularity.

Of the 318,123 breast augmentation procedures performed last year, the ASAPS study reports that 62% of patients elected silicone implants rather than saline. Dr. Lussier says many of his patients seeking breast implants in Antelope Valley are opting for silicone because they offer a more natural look and feel than their saline counterparts. Dr. Lussier says the natural feel of silicone implants has also contributed to the overall growth in breast augmentation and other plastic surgery procedures.

However, as these procedures continue to become more popular, Dr. Lussier adds that patients must be sure to research extensively and consult with an experienced surgeon to find the best option for their individual needs. He says regardless of whether patients are seeking breast augmentation or a tummy tuck in Antelope Valley, plastic surgery demands a strict adherence to quality and ethics, backed by the experience of a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Article by Smantha Watson

Men are considered no different from women when the matter of being conscious about their body parts comes. With age, the body cells appear to die, and the body features alter greatly, and only in the negative manner. Men can also live with a problem on their face or body until they realize that it's a time to bring it a change. Here, we will discuss the areas that men desire to improve mostly when it comes to plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery for men is a field that is gaining popularity with every passing day. This is not something to be ashamed of, or feel embarrassed. Most of the men correctly think that getting better physical and bodily features will make them climb the corporate ladder and make them more appealing to women.

Nowadays, men are looking for procedures such as Botox injections, laser hair removal, micro-derma abrasion, laser skin resurfacing. They are shorter procedures, and do not require staying off from work.

However, there are some cosmetic surgery techniques for men that must be mentioned here: Rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, liposuction, hair transplantation, male breast reduction. With specialist centers such as the Men's Plastic Surgery Beverly Hills Center, these surgeries are now performed excellently on routine daily basis.

When facial features are brought into discussion, men want to get rid of the excessively enlarged size of their nose. Hence, they go for a Rhinoplasty, which is also termed as a nose job. Moreover, another facial feature that is cumbersome to them is baldness. Hence, in this case, many men choose hair transplantation as a common surgical procedure. In concern of facial features, mostly, men are also concerned about the extra lax skin of their eyelids, which in some cases, might also impair vision. Therefore, they prefer an eyelid surgery also.

The topic of plastic surgery for men is not just confined to facial procedures. It is a lot more than it is. Chest and abdomen deformities are often of concern to many men. There are men who have excess breast tissue (gynecomastia), so in this case, they go for a breast reduction. For corporate men, the excess fat deposits in the tummy are also a bothering factor. So in this case, they go for liposuction and subsequent 6 pack abs (pectoral implants).

Since men are competitive, they require the most competitive results for themselves too. Therefore, they want excellent and most natural looking results of their surgery; something that should not make them look as 'plastic'. When this is the case, it is required to trust a surgical center, which offers excellent and reliable results within the most affordable cost. Men's Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills are examples to this fact.

To conclude, men are as conscious about their body as women are. Hence, some body parts are more likely of modification in men (as mentioned above). Their demands must be met and they should be provided with excellent results.

Facts about Plastic Surgery

Article by Sallie Pinkerton

When you hear the word plastic surgery? What is the first thing that comes into your mind? A woman wants bigger breasts or maybe a 60 year old wants to get rid of those wrinkles just to look like she's 40.

Often plastic surgery connotes getting physical alterations like bigger breast, pouty lips, a flatter stomach or flawless skin. These are the common ideas you will hear from ordinary people when they are asked about plastic surgery. Plastic surgery can be done to a young woman with a noticeable birthmark in her cheek or it may be used to rebuild a boy's chin that had been in a traumatic accident.

One of the common misconceptions is that because the word "plastic" is used in plastic surgery. It automatically means getting fake things implanted in or on your face. The name plastic surgery doesn't mean synthetic, it is actually derived from a Greek word, plastikos, which means to mold or form. Going through plastic surgery would either mean altering your physical appearance or to regain your normal function.

There are basically two types of surgery:

1.) Reconstructive. This is the type of plastic surgery that is done to correct body or face defects. These defects can be birthmarks, cleft lip, or other deformities that are caused by traumatic accidents or are congenital. It can be due to burns, dog bites, or diseases.
