In the June 09 Financial Times there was an article which announced that in China the popularity of plastic surgery has grown by 40%.  Many choose plastic surgery to boost their employment prospects and others spend their extra money on various cosmetic procedures just to achieve what they wish-a larger looking eye through eyelid surgery and breast enlargement or higher bridged nose.  In Shanghai plastic surgery business is booming.  In spite of a bad economic conditions in the world the chinese women are undetered. They believe that looking better leads to better opportunities in the job market or in the romantic markets. The average age is 25 yo to 35 yo, much younger than in the US.   After basic necessities are met such as food, rent, clothing and car, the extra money often goes for plastic surgery. Once plastic surgery was looked down upon, today however, it is something that many want.

The news is that perhaps soon a new silicone gel implant will be out there. It will have a form and shape all of its own. I am not sure if it is good or bad as I rather think that everyone already has a shape and form and the filler is what is missing. It also may be a bit harder than the implants which are already out there and may also have a rough exterior so it may not move as much.  I am not sure whether stationary breasts are so attractive but when it comes out you will be able to judge for yourself if indeed you are interested in implants. Anyway there will be lots of marketing and writing about it. Just wanted you to hear all about it first here.  There will be lots of discussion and everyone will have something to say about this new Gel. To me gello is gello. You must judge for yourself and be a very savvy and inte

Full lips

We do not want to pollute the environment.  Everyday however, we do. I therefore feel strongly, that we should use whatever tissue we remove from our body as fillers, or contour substances.  For example-fat can be used to make nasolabial folds fuller, lips plump, buttock round and attractive, breasts larger and upper lip softer.  Pieces of any muscle removed can also be used as fillers in the glabella or nasolabial folds. So do not waste anything. Reuse and do not pollute. You will like using your own stuff rather than waste it and see it discarted in some dump. Come and visit us to ask what is possible.

We all want to get rid of this unwated fat. However, think about taking the fat from unwanted places and putting it where you want it? Take it out from the waste and putting it in the butt to make it round and attractive or putting it in the breast to make a natural soft breast? This fat is free and is yours. You do not have to pay for implants. You can also put it in your face to get rid of wrinkles, or in your lip to make them larger. So next time you say get rid of my fat think again. Recycle, recycle, recycle.

To look like this at 43yo you must take good care of your body. Good nutrition, exercise and great skin care is of utmost importance. Of course at times Plastic Surgery must be done to achieve such a wonderful body. Not everyone is lucky to have that metabolism or that physique. However, for those who have hefty hips and thighs and would like that leaner look, liposuction is an option. Those who would like to have shapely and sexy breasts there are procedures that can accomplish that too.  Breast implants increase size, breast lift allows the breasts to look perky and if one is over endowed a breast reduction will lift and downsize to a more attractive and proportional size. Those that have children and are unable to reduce their tummy skin or tighten their tummy muscles even with vigorous physical activity, help is also available. A tummytuck can reduce skin and/or tighten muscle to create a sixpack. Liposuction alone can reduce fat from the abdominal area if the skin and muscle are in good shape. The mons pubis can be lifted through a small suprapubic incision and that may improve sex life as well. The neck and face and eyes are youthful till about 40 when depending on your skin, bone structure, weight fluctuations and genetics jowls begin to form as well as folds and bags around the eyes. Eyelidplasty and a facelift are great options for those who feel that they look older than they feel. Of course rhinoplasty enhances the shape of a nose and otoplasty makes your ears sexy and sensuous. These are just suggestions for some of the surgical procedures. However, options which are not surgical are also available and popular. Fraxel and other laser treatments tighten the skin and get rid of skin blemishes and irregularities. Dermabrasions, microdermabrasions and chemical peels are helpful. Great skin care regimen is the mainstay of great complexion. In our office I leave that to Anita our Nurse Practicioner who is a genius when it comes to skin treatments and cosmetic enhancements with the right stuff. Fillers are great in combination of various small implants like chin and cheek implants or alloderm to nasolabial folds. Do not forget botox however, the greatest thing for frown lines and other furrows created by muscle movements. Injected in right quantities in the right spots makes you younger looking and fresh. Too bad it does not last forever, but then neither do we. Even though not suggested in the picture, ladies -do not forget vaginal and labial surgery for those who feel loose and droopy. Help is simple, effective and it works. Libidos arise! So if you are interested in looking good, call us for a consultation and tell us what it is that you would like, what your budget is and we can then taylor treatment to achieving what you would like improve and what you would like to have.

Very often patients come in for consultation for breast augmentation. However, they are not sure what size will suit them. Many stuff socks in the bra to see what it will look like. Some wear very heavily padded bras to see how they like the size. Some ask the women they know and whose size they like. Some listen to me and some cannot make up their mind. My advice is always that the size of your breast is important on many levels. First it has to fit your body. It cannot be so big that it will make you look fat with a short waist line or cheap as if the only thing you have going for you is your breasts. One must also consider the exercise schedule that you like to keep. If you are an exercise fanatic then big breasts will stand in your way and it will be hard to do pushups or play tennis, ride a horse or even run. If you do not exercise then that is not a consideration. One must also consider that with age these large breasts may sag requiring a lift which in turn results in scars. If you have a job where you must look business like that is you are a lawyer or work for a large firm in a very senior position your breasts may announce that you are not that smart and only got there because of your sexiness. It probably is not true but those thoughts will circulate and you must know how thick your skin is and what is your tolerance level to ignore or tolerate those inuendos. With very large breasts, forget getting into chanel suits or other high couture dresses. In summary there are many considerations you must consider. If all fails you can try out the scarfs below.

I bet your appliances are younger than you. I wonder why you changed them. I think your car is probably younger than you. What about the paint on your walls or the rugs on the floor. Your computer? furniture, sheets, dishes??? You see, all need maintenance and some are even discarded and new ones brought in. Why? they do not look good any more and they do not work as well as the new ones. Well, we cannot do this to people and ourselves. We cannot throw our old selves out and get new bodies. However, we can REJUVENATE whatever we can. So, we get facelifts, and breastlifts, and breast augmentations for deflated breasts after childbirth and we get tummytucks, we get liposuction, butt lifts, and even labia reduction and vagina tightening.  Why-cause that is as close to new as we can get. If we are not embarrassed to do it to our dishwashers and washing machines and cars why are we embarrassed to do it to ourselves? Why we are not embarrassed to paint our walls yet we wonder if we should dye our gray hair? what is the difference between painting our walls which are old and cracking and painting our hair which are old and gray? We fill cracks in our bathtub edges or wood furniture, what about the cracks we see on our bodies? So get out the facial fillers like juviderm, restylene, fat, radiesse and whatever else you can find and fill out the cracks. You iron your sheets, what about ironing your wrinkles with botox or fraxel lasers. You often fix your old plumbing especially if it is loose. Well tighten up the vagina and loose labia and whatever else has loosened up in your body. 

You see, our body is a machine that runs for 80-90 years if we are lucky. Surely, nothing else runs that long, and at least nothing else runs that long without maintenance and repair. So be kind to your body just like you are kind to your appliances, and cars and other possessions- MAINTAIN it, polish it, and keep it youthful and happy.

Many women do plastic surgery. The question one must ask is whether they do it to please themselves or the significant other. Will you put in implants if your preset partner likes big breasts and will you take them out if your next partner likes small breasts. The most important thing, I have learned, is that plastic surgery should be a gift to you. You must feel great about yourself and how you look. If you like yourself then most likely the partner you love will love you for who you are how you look and will share same values. If you always do things for others then they will never value you as you do not value yourself. Body image is very important and very personal. It is what helps us have confidence and pursue our career and goals and relationships. Our body image should be good as then we are happy. If our body image is not good we must improve it if there is a reason why it is not good.  We should strive to look like what WE like and not what someone else tells us to look like. If we compromise we loose ourselves. It is fun to be individualistic and look as best as we can for ourselves alone.

Is this for you or for him?????

I am down here in Florida and the weather is beautiful. Many young women with great bodies are on the beach. Many have had breast augmentations and most probably liposuction judging from the discreet small incision marks on their legs. However, to most they look great. Breast augmentation if done with saline implants can be totally scarless. The implants can be put in through the axilla or armpit leaving a small mark in the already present creases. These breast augmentations look natural and feel natural. It is easy to read mammograms and biopsies can be done without worrying that a sac containing silicone will be ruptured. Even if they do rupture it is only water and one can remove the implant through the armpit and place a new one into the already present pocket. One should consider breast augmentation with saline implants. Even tho they are not mentioned much in the magazines they are I feel superior to silicone. Less scar, mammography is easier and biopsy can be done without the same concern. If they leak they can be easily removed. If silicone leaks it is a much larger procedure to fix it. So call our office and find out more about saline breast augmentations.
