Multiple Cosmetic Surgeries—At what point do I stop?

Sunday, September 2nd, 2012 by GDSEO

Cosmetic surgery can be a life-altering event.  From the pain of past scars to the emotional baggage of insecurities, cosmetic surgery instills confidence in those who undergo each procedure.

After experiencing your first cosmetic surgery, you will notice a drastic difference in your appearance, attitude, and outlook on life.  With a more positive view, you will find that it becomes easier to look to cosmetic surgery to meet emotional needs.

Cosmetic surgery is a benefit to those looking for improvements.  For those who have gone through breast cancer, breast implants can give the proportional look you once had, and the confidence, too.  On the other end of the spectrum, you might find yourself, or a friend, become addicted to cosmetic surgery.  Multiple cosmetic surgeries are not bad, when done properly.  Timing, recovery, and necessity are important to keep in mind.

Your body has very specific needs and regulations that multiple cosmetic surgeries can alter.  Having multiple cosmetic surgeries over a short period of time can be harmful to your body.  It is essential to consult with your doctor and discuss the various side effects of undergoing multiple surgeries in a short amount of time.

In addition to timing, it is imperative that your body gets the proper recovery it needs.  Your doctor can discuss timing with you, but proper recovery is up to you.  After multiple cosmetic surgeries, your body’s image alters.  Of course, that is an obvious side effect of cosmetic surgery.  But at what point should you stop?  Cosmetic surgery is meant to meet the physical need of an unwanted appearance.  This includes arm lifts, breast implants, rhinoplasty, botox, and other various cosmetic surgeries.  If you find that your body is altered beyond recognition, it has become an unhealthy addiction.  Those are the physical side effects of cosmetic surgeries.

Moderation is the key to healthy cosmetic surgeries.  You want to live confidently, but at the same time, your confidence should not be solely based on your physical appearance.  The point at which cosmetic surgery becomes too much is when you feel you need another procedure in order to feel good about yourself.  That is the emotional side effect of cosmetic surgeries.

Cosmetic surgery should be given consideration before taking place.  Because it changes your appearance, it is important that you feel confident in your decision to move forward with a cosmetic surgery.  Once your first surgery is complete, remember that your true confidence comes from within, not from your appearance.  Multiple cosmetic surgeries can give you the desired look you want, but after you receive what you initially wanted from surgery, it is time to stop.  Because the beautiful transformations that come with cosmetic surgery boost your confidence, it is easy to become addicted to having work done.  Remember, everything should be done in moderation.

Consult with your doctor and make sure that every cosmetic surgery you undergo is supported with intention.  If your reasoning for surgery is habitual or dependency, it is time to stop.

The Current Most Popular Cosmetic Surgeries

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 by GDSEO

Cosmetic surgeries are increasing in popularity and attainability.  If you are looking for a more confident you, cosmetic surgery could be your answer.  The current most popular cosmetic surgeries vary, but never leave you unsatisfied.  Cosmetic surgery is designed to provide you with the shape, confidence, and look you want and need.

The most popular cosmetic surgery available is breast augmentation.  Giving you a fuller shape, breast augmentation allows you to receive the build you’ve always wanted.

After breast augmentation, the most popular cosmetic surgery is nose reshaping.  A nose job, or rhinoplasty, reshapes the nose, giving you the shape you long for, whether that be to make your nose bigger, more narrow, or have different angles.

This next cosmetic surgery is for those who want to have tighter skin in the face.  Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, corrects drooping eyelids.  If you have bags under your eyes, if you would like man excess skin or fat removed from around your eyes, eyelid surgery is the perfect surgery for you.

Liposuction is the fourth most popular surgery.  When diet and exercise cannot remove that unwanted skin from your abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, or upper arms, liposuction can help.  Removing the fat deposits from the desired areas of the body, a vacuum-like device makes sure you are left with tight, smooth skin.

A tummy tuck is a common cosmetic surgery and the fifth most popular procedure.  With the tummy tuck, any stretched out skin is tightened, giving you a tight, firm stomach.  Don’t let your stomach keep you from fun activities.  Get a tummy tuck and show off your tight abdominal.

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that focuses on repairing the appearance of the face.  Because of various factors, such as fluctuations in weight, smoking, exposure to the sun, and genetics, a face lift can tighten and firm the skin on the face.  Getting a face-lift allows you to have a younger looking appearance, while correcting an damage that has been caused to the skin of the face.

A breast lift is a popular cosmetic surgery, focuses on reducing any saggy appearance to the breasts.  Designed to give women shapelier and firmer breasts, a breast lift can dramatically change the shape of a woman’s breasts, giving them a more aesthetically appealing look.

Surgical Skin Planning is also known as dermabrasion.  This procedure focuses on scarring, usually related to acne, tattoos, rosacea, multiple pigmented birthmarks, sun-damaged, skin, chicken pox, or skin growths.  By removing the epidermis layer of the skin, a smooth appearance is achieved.  A benefit to this procedure is that new tissue grows back to replace the old, giving you soft, smooth skin.

A forehead lift is another popular cosmetic surgery.  Known as browplasty, this procedure is designed to reduce the lines and creases in the forehead.  By rejuvenating the appearance, lines are eliminated, leaving you with firm looking skin.

Cosmetic surgeries are beneficial to those looking for firmer and shapelier skin.

How Rhinoplasty Works and Precautions to Take

Thursday, July 5th, 2012 by GDSEO

Did you know that the nose is one of the most defining facial characteristics on the human face?  Your nose truly does matter.  It is a prominent facial feature, essential to facial symmetry.  With such an important task, you want your nose to have the perfect proportions to give your face a nice look.  When the nose does exhibit cosmetic irregularity, your appearance can be negatively affected.

Don’t let your nose determine how you look each day.  If you would like to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your nose, if you have nasal deformity or need a nasal repair due to injury, rhinoplasty is definitely for you.  Even the slightest alteration can dramatically improve a person’s appearance.

Rhinoplasty does involved surgery.  In fact, by undergoing surgery for only one to two hours in Dr. Frenzel’s accredited operating facility, you will end up with a beautiful reshaped nose.  The stitches you receive from the surgery are dissolvable and made inside of the nose, so you can show off your new work of art without embarrassing effects.  Through small incisions, the bone and cartilage are sculpted to provide you with a symmetrical new structure.  This means that the cartilage can be reduced, enhanced, or simply reshaped, depending on your nasal needs.  Various parts of the nose can be reshaped to provide you with a look that is proportional to your aesthetic appeal.  The tip may be elevated, the base may be narrowed, using tiny stitches inside the nostrils, or the angles at the base and the top of the nose may be altered.  With so many choices, you will find that Dr. Frenzel can provide you with the nose of your dreams.  And as a bonus, internal breathing problems can be corrected as a result of the rhinoplasty.

This surgery is safe and short.  Within a couple of hours, your entire face will have a new look.  With such a huge responsibility to your face, your nose should be exactly how you want it.  And rhinoplasty can give you just that.

After your surgery, you may experience some discomfort, such as a headache, you will be given oral pain and rest medication as need.  Some nasal stuffiness is to be expected, but can be remedied through elevation of the head.  Dr. Frenzel will provide you with a special ice pack to rest on the eye area for two days to help prevent any swelling or bruising.  For approximately one week, you will have a small splint on your nose.  In addition to all of this, you will be given something to clean, and possibly irrigate, the nose.  Because you cannot blow your nose, mild nose drops are sometimes necessary.

Some of your daily activities will be prohibited in the first couple of weeks following surgery.  You must be careful to not injure the nose for six to eight weeks.  And, because the nose continues to take shape over thee next few months, follow-up care is vital to monitor healing.

Cosmetic Surgery Declines Among Teens

Monday, May 9th, 2011 by Newswriter

There has been a significant decline in the number of cosmetic surgeries among teenagers 18 and younger, according to statistics released by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Nonsurgical procedures such as laser hair removal and chemical peels were the most popular cosmetic procedures among teens in 2010, while the most common surgery was otoplasty, which corrects the appearance of protruding ears.

Otoplasty is the most popular cosmetic procedure among children under 18, mostly around the ages of 5 or 6. Recovery from otoplasty is usually fairly quick and the procedure can prevent teasing. Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, is also popular during the mid-teen years, and can correct functional problems with the nose at the same time that it improves the appearance.

Other procedures involve reducing breasts, in boys and girls, or correcting breast asymmetry in girls. Liposuction is rare among teenagers, as cosmetic surgeons will often have serious reservations about performing it unless there are clear and unequivocal reasons in favor of it.

The statistics reveal a stunning 38 percent drop in the number of surgical procedures over the last two years, from 203,308 procedures in 2009 to 125,397 in 2010. Both figures are much lower than the 298,704 procedures reported in 2001, and seem to contradict a general impression that teenage cosmetic surgery has been on the rise in the past decade.

How do cosmetic surgeons decide whether a procedure is appropriate for a teenager? They’re always sure to talk with them first. It’s important that the physical feature in question has basically finished growing, since continued growth could distort the effects of the surgery. Cosmetic surgeons also discuss the procedure with the teenager, so that they can:

  • dispel myths and misconceptions
  • set up reasonable expectations for the surgery
  • carefully consider benefits, drawbacks, and risks
  • explore postoperative issues and recovery times

These steps are necessary to ensure that a teenager fully understands the nature of the procedure and will emotionally benefit from the experience.

Aging Facial Bones May Contribute to Aging Appearance

Thursday, January 6th, 2011 by editor2

facial bones changes contribute to facial agingWrinkles and sags, the obvious signs of facial aging, may result in part from age-related changes in facial bones, according to a new study in the January 2011 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal.

“What we [plastic surgeons] focus on is the aging of soft tissue – how skin and fat ages,” said Dr. Robert Shaw, a co-author of the study.  “Those aren’t the only structures in your face. Bones provide scaffolding and your muscles, fats and skin drape over bones.  If you tighten skin, but the scaffolding has deteriorated it’s not going to bring patients back to a youthful look.”

The researchers analyzed computed tomographic scans of the facial bones for three age groups: young (age 20 to 40); middle-aged (41 to 64); and older (65 and up). Twenty women and 20 men were analyzed in each group.

Measurements revealed differences in the facial bone structure between age groups. The eye socket area became wider and longer in both men and women as they aged, and the bones in the brow, nose, upper jaw and lower jaw shrank.

Wrinkles probably occur from a combination of bones and the skin losing elasticity, according to Dr. Shaw. “The skin aging is a big part of it,” he said.  “It’s not just using creams; it’s taking care of yourself for bone health and skin health.” He suggested keeping up on calcium to maintain bone health.

The researchers believe that by using materials and techniques for skeletal augmentation, plastic and cosmetic surgeons can improve the outcomes of facial rejuvenation. “Skeletal augmentation offers a permanent rejuvenation of the facial skeleton and may be performed in conjunction with soft-tissue redraping,” they wrote.

Dr. Frenzel offers several facial rejuvenation procedures, including face lift, brow lift and cheek augmentation.

Liposuction & Botox Just Some of the Cosmetic Options for the Neck

Friday, December 31st, 2010 by editor2

neck liftsWhile there are a wide variety of cosmetic treatments for the face — from face lifts to Botox — there have been less options for the neck in the past. But that’s changing, according to a recent article in the New York Times, that finds these days more options do exist to improve the appearance of the neck area.

While traditionally used on the body, liposuction may be an option for necks with too much fat, especially if the person has elastic skin that can bounce back afterward.

For those with neck “bands”, injecting Botox in the neck muscle can make them less conspicuous in a patient with great skin tone, according to Dr. Rod Rohrich, chairman of the plastic surgery department at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. However, like for wrinkles on the face, Botox results last about three to four months and will require upkeep.

For others, a neck lift remains the best and long-lasting option. It may involve one or both of the following procedures:

  • Cervicoplasty to remove excess skin
  • Platysmaplasty to remove or alter neck muscles

According to the Times, surgeons report that men seem to get more isolated neck lifts than women. “Usually with women, they are getting a face- and neck lift,” said Dr. Felmont Eaves, the president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. “In men, we don’t have exact statistics, but it’s pretty common to see them come in just for the neck.”

“There’s no way a man’s neck, with all that tissue hanging down, can be graceful,” said Dr. Phil Haeck, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, who has done two neck-only lifts for every three face lifts in his practice this year.

Predicted Cosmetic Surgery Trends for 2011

Friday, December 24th, 2010 by editor2

2011 cosmetic surgery predictionsCosmetic plastic surgeons from around the country weighed in on upcoming trends in cosmetic surgery, and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) put together a list of  2011 cosmetic surgery predictions based on the surgeons’ feedback.

Facelifts, injectables, and body contouring are three of the procedures where they are predicting growth.

As the economy improves, the demand for facelift surgery will increase, as those who have been putting off the surgery may be more likely to get it in 2011, according to the society.

Already the most popular non-surgical procedure according to ASAPS’s 2009 statistics, injectables (such as Botox, Juvederm and Restylane) will continue to grow in popularity as they evolve and new products become available on the market.

Body contouring procedures will also be on the rise as more obese people may turn to weight loss surgery given the health dangers of obesity. That will lead to an increase in body contouring cosmetic procedures to tighten and remove excess skin after dramatic weight loss.

The society also predicts that more patients will be seeking “posterior body lifts, buttock lifts and surgical and nonsurgical buttock augmentations to shape and augment their buttocks” thanks in part to celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce who have made it a “must-have accessory.”

The society sees change ahead in fat reduction techniques. While liposuction will remain the standard in surgical fat reduction, new non-surgical techniques will continue to be developed, including freezing, zapping and lasering fat, as possible alternatives to surgery.

Unfortunately, the society also sees consumers looking for bargains on cosmetic procedures. Procedures, such as “discount injectables” bought overseas and cosmetic procedures performed by untrained practitioners will lead to an increase in cosmetic surgery “horror” stories. Always research your cosmetic surgeon to ensure he or she is well-trained in cosmetic surgery.

Mature Faces Turn to Less Invasive Procedures, Reports WSJ

Thursday, October 14th, 2010 by editor2

Mature womand and man smilingThe Wall Street Journal online reports that older workers are increasingly considering minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures to help them look younger and stay competitive in the current economy.

Statistics compiled by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) show that for those in the 51-64 age range, the number of facelifts dropped from over 75,000 in 2008 to just under 55,000 in 2009. On the other hand, for this same age group, the number of Botox procedures jumped from 672,840 in 2008 to 734,751 in 2009.

“If you are a woman who has to come back to work full-time or a man who isn’t going to be able to retire any time soon, you’ve got to look like you can compete,” says Wendy Lewis, a New York–based plastic surgery and skin care consultant. “And if you are working in a field like media where everyone is really young, you don’t just want to look good for your age, you want to look good, period.”

Overall stats from ASAPS showed that the number of facelifts in the U.S. dropped 29 percent from 2008 and eyelid surgeries declined 23 percent during the same time frame. On the other hand, Botox and Dysport injections rose 3.8 percent from 2008 to 2009, with 2.6 million injections performed last year.

Less invasive procedures not only have less recovery time compared to surgery, but they also generally cost less than cosmetic surgical procedures. However, Lewis does point out that minimally-invasive treatments can be overdone. “There is a point at which you are going to have a better result and spend less money if you just have a facelift,” she says. In addition, there are some problems that can only be fixed by surgery, such as sagging jowls. A cosmetic surgeon can help select the best procedures to address a patient’s concerns.

Advanced Cosmetic Surgery offers a number of non-surgical procedures, including Juvederm, Radiesse, and CO2 Laser Resurfacing.

Younger Patients Look to Cosmetic Surgery to Reverse Ear Gauging

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 by editor2

Woman smilingMore young people who have gauging, a process that deliberately stretches and widens earlobes, are looking to have it reversed and are turning to cosmetic surgery for help. Msnbc.com reports that ear surgery is being requested by individuals who have regrets about having their lobes stretched.

Also known as otoplasty, ear surgery is often requested by those looking for jobs and going on interviews, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Angelo Cuzalina tells the New York Daily News.

“It’s almost becoming a fad,” he says. “People have the gauging procedure where they gradually stretch out their lobe so it has a giant hole that’s larger than a quarter. But then they want to join the workforce and think their chances for a job might be better if they didn’t have this.”

Plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Glatt also reports that he is seeing more young patients who gauged their ears as teenagers but now regret doing it and look to have their ears reconstructed.

Dr. Cuzalina explains the basic steps involved in this type of earlobe surgery: first, surgeons remove small strips of skin from the bottom of the lobe; then the edges of the lobe are stitched back together; and finally skin tissue is used to re-create the shape of a normal ear lobe.

Patients should expect some scarring, but after several months, they should be able to wear regular earrings again, says Dr. Cuzalina. The procedure yields a relatively normal-looking earlobe, he adds.

“It’s not a really painful operation to have done, but you may never get the lobe back to its original shape,” says Dr. Cuzalina. “But more people are doing it. It usually takes some change in a person’s life to force them to come in and get the surgery.”
