Comments Off on Has Losing Weight Made You Look Older?

There is a common problem amongst those who lose weight when they are in their forties, fifties or older. While losing weight can be a healthy change for your body, you may not be happy with the change to your face. Losing weight when you are mid-life or older can make your face look years older. One option is to consider a facelift to give you a more youthful appearance for your face to match your healthier, slimmer body.

When you face is plumper, the skin is stretched, but less likely to sag or show deep lines. When you lose weight, the plumpness is gone and the skin and tissues in your face can sag. This can cause heavy jowls, sagging on the neck and flatness in the midface region. You may love the way your clothes fit and how your body looks after losing weight, but your face may not match your new body.

A facelift can help give you a more youthful appearance and reverse affects that occurred due to your weight loss. A deep plane facelift can lift tissue and skin to smooth lines around the nose and mouth, while lifting sagging at the jowls and neck. You can achieve a more youthful appearance that will fit your healthier body and help you feel confident in how you look.

If you have lost weight and are not happy with the changes it caused in your face, schedule a consultation to meet with an experienced facial plastic surgeon. They can offer solutions to improve the appearance of your face to match your slimmer figure, including a facelift.

3 Popular Plastic Surgeries for Men

September 12th, 2018 Posted in Cosmetic Surgery
Comments Off on 3 Popular Plastic Surgeries for Men

Women are not the only ones who want to look their best. More and more men are choosing to seek the services of a plastic surgeon to look younger or change features for a more attractive appearance. While women are more likely to focus on their eyes or lips for cosmetic facial surgery, men have other features that they are more likely to change. Here are three popular plastic surgeries for men that want to look their best.

  1. Nose job. Rhinoplasty or the nose job has been the most popular facial plastic surgery for men for many years. Changing the shape or size of the nose can create more balance to the face, whether it is repairing an injury or changing a genetic issue.
  2. Chin enhancements. The chin and jaw is important to the masculinity of the male face. Chin implants, chin liposuction and neck lifts can all help create a chiseled, defined jaw and chin. Enhancing the chin can have a dramatic impact on the shape of the face.
  3. Hair transplants. Losing hair is a common issue amongst men and one issue that men are very self-conscious about. Hair transplants done by a plastic surgeon can replace lost hair for a more attractive and youthful appearance.

Men are also more likely to consider face lifts, cosmetic injections and other anti-aging procedures than ever before. The stigma that plastic surgery is mainly for women is now in the past, with many men enjoying the benefits of plastic surgery to look younger and more attractive. If you are interested in male plastic surgery, contact a plastic surgeon that specializes in these popular cosmetic enhancements for men.

September 12th, 2018 Posted in Injectables
Comments Off on Benefits of Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

Are you considering changing your appearance? Whether you have lines or wrinkles that you want to smooth or changes you want to make to your eyes, lips or nose, there are non-surgical cosmetic treatments that can achieve your desired results. Not all cosmetic alterations from plastic surgeons need to involve surgery. Here are some benefits to considering non-surgical cosmetic treatments.

Many plastic surgeons offer a wide variety of non-surgical cosmetic treatments at their clinics. Dermal fillers, Botox and skin treatments can all be used to reverse aging and change your appearance. Dermal fillers can add volume to the cheeks, lips, skin and even the nose to change the appearance of the face. Botox and skin treatments can help improve the texture and youthfulness of the face. Here are some benefits of choosing non-surgical treatments instead of plastic surgery.

  • Try it on. Considering a nose job or lip implants, but hesitant to make a permanent change? Non-surgical cosmetic treatments can give you a chance to “try on” a look without surgery. If you like the look, you can then decide to make a permanent change.
  • Less-expensive. Non-surgical options are less expensive than surgery and can fit into almost any budget.
  • No downtime. Most non-surgical cosmetic treatments can be done in an office visit and do not require downtime from work or a need for recovery. Some treatments can be done on a lunch break, with no one the wiser.

If you want to improve your appearance, there are many options that are non-surgical and still effective. Make an appointment for a consultation to learn more about non-surgical cosmetic options at your local plastic surgeon.

Injectable Cosmetics vs Plastic Surgery

September 8th, 2018 Posted in Cosmetic Surgery
Comments Off on Injectable Cosmetics vs Plastic Surgery

If you are considering seeking the help of a plastic surgeon to combat signs of aging, there are both surgical and non-surgical options available. Injectable cosmetics such as Botox and dermal fillers can help minimize the appearance of lines, wrinkles and other facial aging issues without surgery, while facelifts, eyelifts, browlifts and cheek enhancements are surgical options for reversing aging. To determine which options are right for you, here are a few key differences between injectables and plastic surgery.

Injectable Cosmetics

Many people would like to avoid surgery but want to look younger. Injectable cosmetics are designed to help improve the skin and minimize lines, wrinkles and effects of sagging skin with minimal downtime. Options like Botox and Dysport are used to reduce frown lines on the brow and soften crow’s feet around the eyes, while dermal fillers can help plump skin and improve collagen production. They can be used to smooth lines around the mouth, plump lips and improve the appearance of the skin, but most are temporary and must have continued use to maintain the results.

Plastic Surgery

While injectable cosmetic can shave years off the appearance of your skin, they only go skin deep. Sagging skin and tissue will have limited success with injectable; surgery may be needed to remove excess skin and to elevate skin/tissue. Deep plane facelifts and other lift procedures offer permanent changes to the facial skin and tissue, with more dramatic results for older patients.

Often injectable cosmetics are used for younger patients that are just beginning to see the effects of aging. Surgical procedures are effective for older patients that can only achieve limited results from injectables. To decide which procedures are the best options to achieve the results you desire, schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon that offers both surgical and non-surgical options to determine the best procedures for you.

Top 3 Reasons to Get a Tummy Tuck

September 8th, 2018 Posted in Cosmetic Surgery
Comments Off on Top 3 Reasons to Get a Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks offer a solution to those with sagging skin or disproportionate weight stored in the abdomen region. Obtaining a flatter, more toned stomach is usually the goal, but the reasons for seeking a tummy tuck vary. Both men and women can benefit from this surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the belly. Here are three of the top reasons people seek a tummy tuck from their local plastic surgeon.

Post-Pregnancy

One of the most common reasons for a tummy tuck is loose skin due to pregnancy. Women who have had one or more pregnancy may have difficulty regaining a flat stomach if the skin and tissue does not rebound. Exercise and diet can only help lose fat and tone the muscle underneath; a tummy tuck can remove sagging skin and improve the tone of the stomach area.

Excessive Weight Loss

Both men and women who have lost significant amounts of weight may find their stomach still has excess skin. The only option to regain a flatter, tighter tummy is to remove the stretched skin and tissue. This can help flatten the abdomen and create a more flattering silhouette for those who have worked so hard to lose their excess weight.

Stubborn Abdomen Fat

For some people, the abdomen may be the only place that has excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction or a tummy tuck can remove excess fat and smooth the tummy when other methods are ineffective.

If you have a tummy region that you want to flatten or excess skin you want removed, talk to an experienced plastic surgeon that offers tummy tuck procedures. It could be the best option to achieve a more svelte waistline and improve your self-confidence in your figure.

3 Things to Consider Before Getting Rhinoplasty

September 8th, 2018 Posted in Cosmetic Surgery
Comments Off on 3 Things to Consider Before Getting Rhinoplasty

The “nose job” or rhinoplasty is one of the top requested facial plastic surgeries in both men and women. In 2016, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported 223,018 procedures performed for nose reshaping in the U.S. While it can have a dramatic impact on the appearance of many people, helping them feel more confident, it is still a major decision and there are significant factors to consider. If you are thinking about undergoing rhinoplasty, here are three things you should consider.

Shape and Size

Just because a certain size or shape of nose looks attractive on one person, that does not mean it is right for your features. You want a nose that blends with your face and looks natural. An experienced facial plastic surgeon can help you find a nose shape that will complement your best features and look natural.

Age

Rhinoplasty is not a surgery that should be performed too early in a person’s life. Many teenagers may think they want to change their nose, but often it is best to wait until adulthood before making such a drastic change to their appearance. Consider waiting at least until your late teens before considering rhinoplasty.

Qualified Plastic Surgeon

The nose is the central feature of the face. You want a plastic surgeon that specializes in facial plastic surgery and rhinoplasty for the best results. Choose a qualified, experienced facial plastic surgeon that has proven results in this specialized procedure.

Rhinoplasty can have a positive impact on your appearance and self-confidence, but you want to make sure you consider all the factors before you choose this surgery. Take the time to research the procedure and the plastic surgeon you choose to ensure you get the results you desire.
