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

Accredited to The Mail-online

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.
