Revolutionary Facial Lifting Without Surgery "The Rejuvenation Mask"

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:48:00 +0000

One of the most revolutionary advances in medicine worldwide in recent years has been the rejuvenation mask, a rejuvenation treatment that rejuvenates the human face up to 20 years, depending on the specific characteristics of each different skin type. The main element of the treatment is that it is non-invasive, meaning no surgery is required. In this method, the skin is exfoliated and regenerated until it has recovered the properties of a younger skin.

At present there are 12 different types of Rejuvenation Mask formulations available for each particular type of pathology to be treated. The formulation used is solely dependent on age range and skin type.

The Rejuvenation Mask treatment is based on several concepts and acts at four different levels:

Before the Rejuvenation Mask

•Mild Exfoliation of the corneal layer of the epidermis which may have been damaged by environmental agents and time oxidation. The treatment makes the skin permeable for 38 hours allowing it to become:

•Rehydrated
•Enables skin retraction
•Dermis regeneration which allows increased levels of collagen and elastin
The fundamental layers of the dermis are also thickened.

During this treatment, the dermis and epidermis that make up the wrinkle, or any other skin flaws such as acne scarring, spots etc.

The Rejuvenation Mask is not only the most innocuous treatment but the only method that achieves improved skin quality a face lift alone cannot improve the skin quality. Owing it to the rejuvenating and permanent results of the procedure, the skin that emerges after the procedure will have gone 15 to 20 years back in time. For the new skin to show the same degree of ageing it had before the procedure, another 20 years will be required. That is, from the time of treatment, the new skin starts a new ageing process. Consequently, skin treated with this method is kept fresh, young and recovered over many years, with spectacular results that remain in time.

One of the principal advantages of this treatment is that it allows the patient to resume his or her regular routine immediately after the treatment, that is, you will be able to exercise and play sports normally but you will need to follow your doctor's orders as instructed. And you look like you only 20 years younger!!!!

Unlike invastive surgical treatments that excise and pull the skin, leaving it untreated, the “Rejuvenation Mask” revitalises the skin, restoring its natural nourishing properties and modifying its fundamental substance. This scientifically proven formula constitutes the proprietary patent of the Rejuvenation Mask method.

This after picture truly shows that this non surgical procedure is astounding and the treatment is not only appropriate for women but men also, the results are just as amazing!!!!!.

Breast Enhancement using Macrolane Injectable Filler

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:13:00 +0000

Macrolane Injectable filler adding Volume to Breasts, Buttocks and Calves
It is not easy to find our natural beauty. We are always looking for methods of enhancing our bodies, and we are always comparing ourselves with the Hollywood stars and the models that have those beautiful and astonishing bodies we wish we could attain. However, with the development in the medical and research fields, there are many treatments now available which are allowing you to be able to change your looks to something more desirable and sexy and at the same time make you more confident and satisfied.

Some of the latest technologies that have come up are those of a product called Macrolane. Macrolane is a gel that gets injected into the area of your body which you want to enhance. Whether you are looking at your buttocks or your breasts, this is the simplest and easiest way to get the desired results in a very natural way. This treatment is also being used to get rid of stretch marks and to get rid of ugly scars in any part of the body and can easily be used by both men and women.

About the product

Macrolane injections contain non-animal hyaluronic acid which is a substance which is naturally generated by the body and which naturally affects the skin elasticity and the elasticity of the joints as well. This product has been created by a Swedish company and the first results of the tests conducted to find the best results to the Macrolane treatment started happening in the UK a few years ago.

Compared to surgery and other kinds of treatments, the Macrolane procedure has been considered to be very beneficial as the product is considered to be totally natural, and there are no side effects involved in the whole treatment as well. The only side effect you may get from the Macrolane treatment would be some kind of pain in the area, swelling or redness of the skin, or maybe some itchiness as well. However, this is something that goes away within a few hours and you can handle the pain with any simple pain killers.

What is involved in the Macrolane Treatment?

The treatment is something you get done with a local anesthesia and which only takes about 90 minutes, and you don’t really need to have any special time for recovery, there are no surgical procedures involved and the results are immediate. The gel fills up the area immediately and the changes are obvious to you and for all to see. Of course, it is important to take care of the area for a few weeks and to avoid strenuous exercises as well.

On the other hand, surgeries are something you can get done immediately and that you can think of doing to enhance any part of your body, however, these surgeries can prove to be dangerous, as you are not really sure of the results you are going to get from them, and at the same time you are exposing yourself to the knife and to possible scars you will need to live with for the rest of your life.

Costs involved in the procedure

The Macrolane procedure is considered to be an expensive treatment and there is hardly any difference when it comes to the costs of a treatment compared to a surgery. It is also important to note you will have to undergo further treatments after about 9 to 12 months after the first injections, as this gel gets metabolized by the body and you will need to do follow ups on regular basis and this is also going to cost you again, however, there are no risks involved and the gel itself is very natural and healthy.

The average treatment here in Spain would cost about €3500.00 which is the equivalent to about £3000.00. The follow up treatment will cost you about another €1700.00 depending on the amount of product used this will vary from patient to patient.

Of course, once you have undergone this treatment, you are not interested in looking back at the way how your body was before, and therefore, you are going to have to be very certain you can afford to keep up the follow up treatments and that you are going to be able to afford them, as this is something that is going to enhance your self-esteem.

Once you have decided this is the kind of treatment you wish to undertake, then it becomes important for you to find the right Macrolane clinic which has the ability to give you the confidence that you are looking for in this area. Our Macrolane doctor that will be treating you, Dr Christoffer Ingves will be able to answer your questions with confidence and he will explain the whole procedure to you and the risks you may have and what are the side effects that you may have. Our injectables specialist here at Marbella Medical Group is a high level trainer for Q Med throughout Scandinavia, Q Med are the company that produces Macrolane and Restylane, in his own country of Denmark he is responsible for thousands of Macrolane procedures that he has been performing now for a number of years.

The Macrolane procedure is quite simple and all that your doctor will do is define the area where he is going to apply the injection, and once this is discussed then he will inject some local anesthesia on the area to make the procedure totally pain free as the needle used to inject the gel is the size of a knitting needle.

The whole procedure only takes about 30 minutes and depending on the area it may take up to 90 minutes. For some time you will not have any pain or side effects, however, once the effects of the anesthesia wear out, then you will have some pain in the area, maybe some swelling or redness around the skin however, these are symptoms you don’t see with every patient.

After the treatment is over, you may have some feeling as if the tissue around the area is a bit hard, however, after about a week or so, since the gel absorbs water naturally, it will become soft and it will feel as if all is very natural and the look of the whole area is very natural as well.

A natural procedure gaining popularity

This is a treatment that is being considered more and more by people, because of its natural effects and because of the lack or surgical procedures and risks involved. Although you may think of the treatment to be on the expensive side, however, the results are so marvelous that people are opting more and more for these kinds of treatments.

Understanding how the whole process works is very important and getting the proper Macrolane information is also very important before you actually get any treatment done.

The Trampoline Neck Lift

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:17:00 +0000

Called the trampoline lift, this one-hour procedure involves making a series of pinpricks across the jaw line under the skin. A thin surgical thread (or suture) is weaved through these tiny holes, before being tied together like a shoelace tightening up loose skin around the neck and chin.

The tautening effect has been likened to the stretching of a trampoline.

Invented by Beverly Hills-based Dr Gregory Mueller, experts believe this new procedure could spell the end of the neck lift.

‘Most patients have the procedure under local anaesthesia,’ he says. ‘If you compare it to a full-on neck lift, which is an aggressive surgery with increased risks of nerve damage, numbness and blood clots, not to mention the three months needed to recuperate, this is a far more attractive option. You have minimal incisions, the possibility of infection is low and recovery time in most cases is just a week.'

Since gaining the required Food and Drug Administration approval in 2009 in the USA, the trampoline lift has steadily grown in popularity in the U.S. — particularly in Hollywood, where a handful of famous faces are rumoured to have tried it. This technique is also now being offered in the UK by a small number of Plastic Surgeons and by our surgeon Dr. Christoffer Ingves here in Marbella.

Warning: Like all plastic surgery the trampoline lift is not risk-free. Any treatment that inserts a permanent material into the body comes with the risk of infection, ‘It’s ideal for younger patients who have noticed early drooping of the area under the jaw line, or those with excess fat who want to avoid a more costly and invasive open neck procedure.’

Perhaps this treatment could be useful for patients with good skin tone and slight sagging in the neck, but those with jowling may be better with a standard face/neck lift.

Until now, the decision to address ageing in the neck area rested on whether you could face or afford to go in for a lengthy surgical procedure.

But while the long-term ¬effectiveness of skin tightening alternatives such as the trampoline lift are open to debate, surgeons and patients alike are hailing the fact that there is at last an alternative on the market.

Ultratine and Endotine Midface, Forehead and Brow lifts

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Mon, 02 May 2011 13:14:00 +0000

Marbella Medical Group is pleased to announce the introduction of an American product called ENDOTINE® and ULTRATINE® they are bio-absorbable fixation devices that simplify facelift procedures and provide the surgeon with greater confidence, thanks to its unique multi-point fixation technology through its “tines”.

With minimally invasive surgery, these devices are easily inserted into the appropriate facial anatomy, after which the “lift” is positioned appropriately and the tissues allowed to heal.

After a few weeks, the devices are fully re-absorbed, providing patients with a more comfortable, longer lasting face, brow or forehead lift. ENDOTINE® is available in various variants for forehead, midface and brow lift. The ENDOTINE® RIBBON is also available for lower (for sagging jaw lines) and midface lift.

ULTRATINE® on the other hand is available only for the forehead procedure. It has additional advantages of less palpability and faster re-absorption.

Our resident Plastic Surgeon Mr Christoffer Ingves is at the forefront of all of the latest techniques and products from the United States which means that we are able to offer our clients new and less invasive methods of surgery using these latest technologies.

HOW DOES THE MIDFACE AGE?

The midface is an essential component of an attractive face. With the aging process, the fatty tissue that normally drapes over the cheekbones can begin to sag with gravity. The result is less prominent cheekbones, and a droopy fold of skin and fat between the nose and the cheek (the nasolabial fold). The sagging cheek fat can also alter the appearance of the lower cheek.

For example, bagginess of the lower eyelids often becomes more apparent after the fat of the upper cheek begins to sag. This in essence 'unveils' the bagginess of the lower lids, which have always been there. In addition to sagging of the skin and fat of the midface, there is also volume loss from the cheek with aging, due to loss of cheek fat and muscle.

ENDOTINE MIDFACE SUSPENSION

This technique involves use of an absorbable implanted device that aids in maintaining the position of the tissues after a cheek and midface lift. The device is typically used with the subperiosteal midface lift. The main advantage of the Endotine midface lift over other midface and cheek lift techniques is that it provides a more effective method of holding up the lifted tissues compared to traditional sutures.

A cheek or midface lift procedure may be performed either alone or in combination with other procedures e.g. neck lift, endoscopic brow lift or blepharoplasty.

Botox Neck Lift or Nefertiti Neck lift

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 12:32:00 +0000

The advancements in medical aesthetics are developing at a rapid pace and at Marbella Group Medical, our highly skilled doctors offer a treatment called the Nefertiti Neck Lift, which is one of the most progressive combination treatments available today providing results that are both natural and long lasting.

The Inspiration

The treatment was inspired by the elegant swan-like neck of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti who has long been considered to be one of the most representative figures of beauty in history.

The Treatment

The Nefertiti Neck Lift is botox injections used to prevent the muscles in the lower face and neck dragging the lower face down. It can help lift the corners of the mouth and the lower side of the face plus help combat sagging and the formation of jowls.

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and gravity beings to pull our face muscles down. To help minimise this, the Botox Nefertiti Neck Lift provides a unique method in relaxing the straining underlying muscles by administering carefully selected Botox injections along specific points of the lower jaw line. This results in an upward movement of the skin to minimise sagging jowls and leave a more defined bone structure, neck and facial contour. Injections into the vertical bands of the neck further reduces the downward pull on the jowl area and side of the face and produces a much smoother appearance to the neck.

Combination Treatments

Combining the Nefertiti Neck Lift with a next generation dermal filler, such as Juvederm ULTRA or Restylane, completes the rejuvenation of the lower half of the face by restoring cheek volume re- establishing the jaw line or replenishing the natural fullness of nose to mouth lines and depressions at the corners of the mouth.

Restylane and Juvederm Ultra are based on hylauronic acid, a substance which occurs naturally in the body, which means it not only fills wrinkle but also attracts moisture to the skin and assists in natural collagen development replacing something that the skin has lost over time. Improving the skin’s resilience, elasticity and smoothness Juvederm ULTRA and Restylane have proven to be complimentary to other anti-wrinkle procedures.

The Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 11:11:00 +0000

MarbellaMedical Group a renowned Marbella plastic surgery company has developed an approach to customize breast augmentation so the overall result both matches a woman's body and creates the best form for wearing fashionable clothing. The procedure is called the Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation.

Breast augmentation is more popular than ever, and is now the most common plastic surgery procedure nationally. Breast augmentation surgery has the potential to greatly improve self-image and quality of life. Women who are self-conscious about small or overly asymmetric breasts usually find the procedure extremely gratifying. The same is true for women who lost breast volume following pregnancy.

Breast augmentation by its very nature can be especially challenging for the surgeon. "The three dimensional nature of breasts, combined with the need to change their position and shape in addition to size, makes all breast surgery a complex undertaking.”

Women seek breast augmentation for a variety of reasons, in essence they want to enrich their self-esteem - and this goes beyond simply how they look. "We find that people coming for breast augmentation are seeking to improve not only their appearance but their overall lifestyle. They want to look and feel better, they want to wear elegant clothes which might have intimidated them in the past because they lacked cleavage and volume.”

To meet our patient's goals Marbella Medical Groups director herself an Image and style consultant together with our highly qualified surgeons have worked extensively with boutique managers and fashion houses to better understand the breast and body shapes that best fit into fashionable clothing. In each breast implant procedure, we not only address breast size, but also their shape and position. This way, the new breasts match the body to create a harmonious and flattering overall shape which is what most women are looking for.

To accomplish this, the Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation customizes breast augmentation to an unusual degree. Based on a woman's goals, body type, and his knowledge of fashion, our surgeons might recommend different sizes, shapes, and profiles. Rather than maintaining a fixed preference for placing standard round implants either above or below the muscle, Marbella Medical Group and its surgeons customize the approach to every woman’s specific needs. Our surgeons also use various incision sites depending on the patient’s individual preference.

"Our goal is for the Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation to create the size and shape that will allow women to look good, feel comfortable, and create the widest options for wearing all types of fashionable clothing. The Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation works to go beyond simply increasing the size of a woman's breasts.

New and exclusive hair loss treatment now available from Marbella Medical Group

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 14:06:00 +0000

Here at Marbella Medical Group we believe that the MHT hair loss treatment for men provides the ideal solution for men worldwide who are suffering from hair loss. Of the solutions available today, none are as immediate, permanent, realistic, hassle-free, non-invasive and cost-effective as the globally recognised MHT hair loss treatment for men. You may have already had some form of hair loss treatment and remain dissatisfied with the results. For example, many of our clients approach us as they’re unhappy with a hair system or wig and want to remove it. Perhaps you’ve had hair transplant surgery and there was insufficient donor hair to cover the required area, or you’ve been left with scarring that you would prefer to be camouflaged. Maybe you’ve been taking medication and have been experiencing unacceptable side-effects.

How can the MHT™ hair loss treatment for men technique be applied?

MHT™ can be used effectively to treat all types of hair loss in men, including thinning hair, lost hairlines and lost sideburns or side profiles. The technique is applied differently depending on your circumstances and preference. The most common MHT applications are detailed below:

Receding hair

MHT is an ideal solution for those experiencing natural hair loss. Usually caused by a condition called Male Pattern Baldness, the ‘horseshoe’ effect is common where the hairline is pushed backwards, particularly on each side of the frontal hairline. MHT enables the hairline to be redefined, resulting in a natural, more youthful appearance.

Balding of the crown

Another common form of Male Pattern Baldness is where hair loss is most prevalent on the top of the head towards the crown. Of all the many forms of hair loss in men, a balding crown is arguably the one that has the most significant effect on a persons perceived age. Again, MHT offers the ideal solution by making the hair on the head appear more evenly distributed, camouflaging baldness and producing a new, younger looking style.

Complete hair loss

The onset of hair loss in men often happens very quickly indeed, or in other cases can take years to affect the entire scalp. We regularly treat clients who have no hair left at all, and it is in such cases that our clients notice the most dramatic difference not only to their appearance, but also their confidence and self-esteem. By not having any existing hair, these clients have a wide variety of options available to create exactly the appearance they want to achieve.

Hair loss caused by alopecia

Alopecia can indiscriminately affect any area of the scalp, often in several areas of varying sizes and severity. The onset of hair loss is often sudden, random and frequently recurrent. Prior to MHT™ there was no real alopecia treatment available. It is important to note that alopecia is not detrimental to a persons health, however it can have a significant impact on their confidence.

Camouflaging scars

We treat many clients who wish to cover scars, most commonly following a hair transplant procedure. Such procedures often leave scarring, therefore we offer MHT to clients following surgery either retrospectively, or as a planned compliment once the surgery is complete and the scars have had the opportunity to heal.

Freshen up your Face for Spring with Marbella Medical

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 12:12:00 +0000

It is certainly true that as we age injectables when in the hands of an expert will assist in making the face look younger, fresher and more lifted.

It is very important that injectable procedures are carried out by a highly qualified professional to enable you the patient to gain the very best result possible. These products in the hands of unqualified and poorly trained personnel can produce horrific and sometimes long lasting results.

The Marbella Medical Group has as part of it’s team an injectables expert from Denmark Dr. Christoffer Ingves, is in his own right a highly qualified Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon in Denmark and here in Spain and is a top trainer for Q Med throughout Scandinavia (the company that produces Restylane), his expertise with injectables is unequalled and he is totally exclusive to The Marbella Medical Group.

One of the best examples of injectables work performed extremely well is Jennifer Lopez, several procedures have enhanced her face which looks better than ever and totally natural.

An American Plastic Surgeon commented recently: “She’s has had some Botox to elevate her eyebrows, probably Juvederm or Restalyne injected to plump the lips, and possibly had Radiesse injected in the cheeks to make them plumper.” He definitely thinks she looks great, though. “It looks natural, she doesn’t look overdone. She’s just restoring volume lost over age. She looks great. She’s gotten better with age.”

To secure your appointment please call us on 951 964027 or e-mail info@marbellamedicalgroup.com.

Next available consultation dates are: 18th April 2011 (almost fully booked) and 28th April 2011.

Considerations before undertaking your next Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

noreply@blogger.com (anita@marbellamedical) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 16:33:00 +0000

The cosmetic treatment known as Botox Injection or anti-wrinkle treatment has over the last few years become one of the most popular anti-aging treatments available. This non-invasive cosmetic procedure has grown so popular because of its quick results and the low instance of Botox risks.

Between 2002 and 2003 (in Europe) the number of people having this procedure increased by 158 percent. Over 2.6 million women and 333,000 men underwent Botox procedures in 2003 alone and the number of patients undertaking this procedure is increasing year by year.

As with any medical treatment, there are some possible side effects to Botox. Fortunately not everyone who uses Botox Injections will experience any side effects. In almost all cases most people do not experience any kind of side effects what so ever.

Botox Injection procedures are considered medical techniques that should be carried out in a controlled medical environment, and administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional. Especially in Spain, this medical procedure is thought of much like going to the hairdressers or having a facial treatment with your local beautician. There are many hair and beauty salons that offer their clients treatments in a completely unlicensed environment, almost always administered by unlicensed practitioners.

Here in Spain (like most of the E.E.C) it is illegal to inject any form of Botox or Dermal Fillers, unless it is administered by a fully qualified medical specialist or who is licensed with the Spanish College of Doctors.

The ethos of Marbella Medical Group is to provide our patients with a quality service at an affordable price using Qualified Injectable Specialists in an environment that is fully licensed for medical procedures and treatments. All of our Specialist Team is licensed with the Spanish College of Doctors.

Providing our clients with this excellent service at an affordable price is also important for us.

Non-Invasive Cosmetic Surgery

Non-Invasive Cosmetic Improvement Without Surgery

Any surgical procedure involves risks and complications. Plastic and cosmetic surgery is no different. So, is it possible to get the results of plastic surgery without the surgery part? Luckily, you can! Your plastic surgeon can offer you several easy, non-invasive methods that provide the dramatic results of a facelift without the inconvenience and dangers of actual surgery. Here are some non-invasive options to consider:

ThermaCool Facelift: If you're bothered by sagging, loose skin, a ThermaCool lift may be an option. Completely non-invasive, the ThermaCool system uses radiofrequency to lift cheeks, face and brow areas with only topical anesthetic and no lengthy surgical process. The radio waves emitted by the ThermaCool machine tighten facial muscles and promote new collagen growth for added spring and firmness to skin. The ThermaCool process is FDA approved and has been proven to visibly improve crows-feet, wrinkles and fine lines. Best of all, the procedure can be done in your plastic surgeon's chair without stress or recovery time.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Another option for those who would prefer to avoid invasive plastic surgery techniques is laser skin resurfacing, which uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove layer by layer of wrinkled or sagging skin. The procedure can take place in your surgeon's office, a hospital or outpatient center, and can be as short as five minutes. The procedure requires local anesthesia and can leave skin tender and sun-sensitive for several months. Results include reduced fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and are comparable to a chemical peel or microdermabrasion.

ThreadLift: Concerned about the effects of gravity – and the resulting drooping in jowls, cheeks and brow?

The non-surgical ThreadLift procedure may be for you. The non-invasive technique uses sutures and surgical threads to sculpt and lift droopy areas. Threads run beneath the skin and are inserted under local anesthesia. The threads and sutures cannot be seen or felt, and results last for three to five years. In addition, recipients of the ThreadLift can return to their plastic surgeon for adjustments and “tune-ups” for continued lift.

The procedure takes about an hour and, though at risk for bruising or swelling, the face returns to normal in a few days.

If you’re not convinced that the above methods are preferable to a full facelift procedure, think about the benefits. Non-surgical facelifts are significantly less expensive than surgical procedures, which can run over €8000.00. And time is money – you’re much more likely to quickly return to work and play with the minimal bruising and tenderness of a non-surgical procedure than with a traditional facelift. In addition, laser and radio techniques can even out the texture, pigmentation, and elasticity of skin – an added perk that will pay for itself.

Still not sure? Rest assured – there are several procedures available, such as Botox and Sculptra TM, that bring facelift like results with a simple injection, and every passing year brings new options in the realm of non-invasive facelift procedures. Interested? Ask your plastic surgeon for more information – and get ready to smile over your newly firm, smooth, youthful skin

Top Plastic Surgeries for men

Men are fuelling the latest boom in cosmetic surgery in their search for perfection.
These days, it’s not just women who are opting for a nip or tuck. In the past five years, the number of men turning to cosmetic surgery has risen by more than 300%, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).

Figures for men using Botox are even more startling – one in 10 of his Botox clients are now male. And, thanks to the arrival of Dysport, the male Botox injection, these numbers are set to increase again. Dysport does away with the spookily surprised look that isn’t quite so fetching on blokes, giving a heavier, Gordon Brown-style brow instead.

Other popular procedures include nose jobs (rhinoplasty), liposuction, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), ear correction (otoplasty), facelifts and neck-lifts. In fact, the surgery-lite business is booming. Procedures for men, such as silicone calf implants, are given equal billing with those for women. “Tattoo removal, hair restoration, laser hair removal and glycolic skin peels are top of the popularity chart.”

Last year, there was a 60% increase in tummy tucks for men, largely as a result of weight-loss surgery that sheds the stones and leaves behind excess skin.

It’s hard to imagine John Wayne or Jack Nicholson toying with the idea of a spot of lipo and yearning wistfully for a baby-smooth forehead. So, why are so many men resorting to the scalpel – including, it is rumoured, George Clooney, who made reference to having an eye-lift last year?

Also, men are realising that problems they thought they were stuck with, such as gynaecomastia [man boobs], are actually treatable.” “Men are vain, and they are becoming much less self-conscious about procedures,”

“Men are often more anxious, too, so that might make them more susceptible to pain. They often want more pain relief.” A couple who both came in for liposuction. The next day, she was up and about, but he was still lying there and really struggling. That’s not unusual. Some men are a bit wussy: they have ‘man recovery’, in the same way they have ‘man flu’.” Some men scar more easily, too. “Men have thicker skin,” “If it is thinner, you get a finer scar. With facial surgery, the key difficulty is deciding where to hide the scars without hair and make-up to cover them.”

When it comes to liposuction, men opt to have it on the waist, abdomen and chest, which can cost from £3,000 to £6,000. The procedure doesn’t work for beer bellies, as they are caused by fat underlying the muscle, but it does work for man boobs, something that more than 30% of men have. Treatment involves liposuction to remove excess fat, and then removing the gland under the nipple. It costs about £4,000, and the patient can be back on his feet in a few days.

So, what’s the future? With an ageing, youth-obsessed culture, most surgeons expect to see more men coming in for surgery, and less furtiveness about booking a fortnight off work to have a spot of lipo or a facelift. And given the male propensity to boast about just about anything, a new nose or a brow-lift could soon rival the MacBook Air in the status stakes.

Technology Trends in Cosmetic Surgery

Technology Trends in Cosmetic Surgery

The cosmetic surgery market has a strong emphasis on the creation and development of advanced methods and techniques. The following are the improvements in technology that is characterising the market at present:

Cosmetic surgery is now much safer and highly effective as patient healing times are much faster. Previously, facelifts and liposuction were the only options available to cosmetic surgery patients as consumers were more hesitant to adopt other untested and unproven methods perceived as 'high-risk' or 'alternative' options such as botox, collagen fillers, chemical peeling and aesthetic lasers. Currently with vast improvements in technology, these procedures are deemed to be relatively safe and have an added advantage of reduced after effects of physical trauma.

In the current climate the consumer's focus is on enhancing their features as opposed to actually changing it and the preference is towards more minimally invasive methods.

Facial fillers are the most common option to a non invasive and simple surgical procedure that is safe and risk aversive. As the name suggests, the facial filler concept does not pull the face tighter in an effort to reduce wrinkles but instead uses an acid that when injected fills out parts of the face that are sagging. Marks and blemishes on the skin caused by acne or chicken pox can also be treated to improve features.

The other popular and non invasive and non expensive method of intervention is botox that serves to help relax facial muscles and erode wrinkles gradually with time.

There is significant progress in the sphere of laser technology for cosmetic surgery with a novel concept of delivering energy below the skin. Technology improvements now mean that a tiny laser incision can rapidly and efficiently melt the fat below the surface of the skin.

The introduction of the concept of 'natural' cosmetic surgery involves the usage of stem cells that are extracted from the patient's body and reintroduced to the system in a manner that these cells have the ability to regenerate. This technique produces more natural and relatively pain free results as it avoids the usage of silicon and scalpels. Hormone regeneration is another technique that cosmetic surgeons have adopted as it a therapy that administers hormones that works in reversing the ageing process. The therapy is based on the treatment of premature ageing as a deficiency disease.

Conclusion

Cosmetic Surgery is a constantly growing and evolving market. The key characteristics of the industry are that it is primarily an elective, non essential procedure. But social acceptance based on the consumer's broader spectrum of choice as well as an increase in disposable income has facilitated a notable increase in demand for technologically superior surgical and non surgical options and interventions within this sphere.

When Large Breasts Are Not Desired

All the adults in this wide world are probably aware of the fact that breast augmentation plastic surgery technique or what is colloquially known as 'boob job' is one of the things extremely many women would like to have done on their bodies. While some of them fear going under the knife, most of them would be eager to face the pains and possible risks just to become bustier and thus gain a lot more sex-appeal. This is exactly why over the last years there has been much fuss about this technique, about its safety, how it affects a woman from both a physical and an emotional point of view and also about the increasing numbers of females who had become or want to become its clients. As I was saying, all these facts are common knowledge for almost any adult nowadays. But if there's been so much talk about breast augmentation technique, only little has been discussed about its opposite, the breast reduction intervention and this is just too bad, because this can actually bring a lot of both physical and emotional benefits to small-figured women.

Let us just think about it, because this is not at all difficult to imagine: suppose you are a little lovely lady that weighs just a tad more than a child in his 14 and who has been endowed by nature with some large breasts. These would look really great on a medium-sized woman, but for you they are too big and this not necessarily from an aesthetic point of view, but from a physical one. Due to their elevated weight, your breasts hurt when you are not wearing a bra and just because they are heavy and you are supposed to carry them around everywhere you would go, your are also having some terrible back aches. Plus, as much as you would like to jog, this is not exactly a possibility for you, as your twins would keep bouncing and bouncing and keep you from getting a proper run. Plus, you will always have a hard time finding fitting bras and tops. Now, what would yo do if you were in this situation? Wouldn't you like to get rid of the literal toll large, alluring breasts put on your every day life and instead have them 'trimmed down'?

Just in case you are actually among the little women with a big bosom and your assets are giving you headaches frequently, then you should know that medical experts and plastic surgeons recommend breast reduction method, as it provides you with many health benefits. A study in this concern has also been led a few months ago by researchers at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center and the New York University School of Medicine and they came up with the same findings - that women in this situation would really find it relieving if they had their breasts up to 500 grams lighter.

"Smaller women are going to have proportionally smaller breasts, but for their particular frame, their breasts may still be far too large and uncomfortable", explained Dr. Jason Spector, a plastic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center and assistant professor of plastic surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, who took active part in the study. He also added that besides other benefits they got from the breast reduction intervention, women "were also greatly relieved that they were more able to engage in healthful activities such as running or playing sports-demonstrating that breast reduction surgeries have even wider health implications."

Add to the reason mentioned by the medical expert above some other very important benefits such as the fading away of the neck, back pain, headache and continually feeling uncomfortable in bras that are too weak to sustain such a heavy load. All these make breast reduction technique a procedure meant for functional, rather than cosmetic purposes.

"The smaller-framed woman who comes to us complaining of chronic breast-linked pain is not having this procedure done for a 'lift' or any cosmetic purpose. Breast reduction surgeries involve some scarring, general anesthesia, and the usual level of surgical risk. Patients are not taking them lightly", pointed out the team of experts who carried out the study. "Women come in all shapes and sizes, and we're just pointing out that breast reduction-like many other surgeries-is definitely not a one-size-fits-all proposal."
