For hundreds of years, everyone has believed, that the fat on the face is one confluent mass, which eventually gets weighed down by gravity, creating sagging skin. But according to the recent study, the face is made up of individual fat compartments that gain and lose fat at different times and different rates as we age.
This theory indeed has given birth to different facial rejuvenation techniques used to control ageing and helps doctors and scientists understand the physiological process of ageing. It also helps doctors understand the accumulation of fats in different areas of the face and allows an appropriate and precise approach to face-lift and rejuvenation theories.
Facelift cosmetic surgery is intended to improve your facial appearance and make you look good for your age. Facelift surgery can recover damages on your skin caused with ageing-loosening of the facial skin and creasing of the skin around the nose and mouth.
The brow lift can reduce severe wrinkles in the forehead and brow area. Blepharoplasty can remarkably improve excess fat above the eyes and certain wrinkles in the eye area.
Facial Implants, including cheek, chin, or jaw implants, can improve the appearance of reduced bone structure in an aging face.The Neck Lift is another facial-rejuvenation procedure, giving your neck a more youthful appearance.

For several years, it was believed that our face is a single piece of mass which in due course of time gets weighed down by gravity, creating sagging skin.
However a recent study shows that our face is made up of 16 different compartments of fat, which age at different levels and at different times. This indicates that as your cheeks begin to sag, the area around your eyes may remain juvenile and spry looking. This has also enabled plastic surgeons to understand that the face stores fat which could lead to more effective anti-aging strategies, better facial reconstruction techniques.
This discovery is changing preceding postulations about the face’s composition, and its implications may reach to better face-lifts & to a new understanding of obesity.

Photodynamic treatment is the procedure that combines green light or laser along with photosensitizing solution to treat resistant, hard-to-treat active acne.
Acne results from the swelling of the sebaceous glands, and it affects 80% of the human population. Acne typically begins in adolescence with hormonal changes. Acne is often resistant to treatment.
Green light and photodynamic therapies are attractive options because they are noninvasive, usually well tolerated and can treat many lesions in short sessions. Photodynamic treatment has a special green light-activated solution that targets and destroys acne activity. Photodynamic treatment also diminishes older acne scars & reduces pigmentation leaving your skin smoother. The procedure is called Photodynamic Therapy.
The Levulan, which is a clear painless solution, is applied to your skin and left on for 15-60 minutes. It is then activated with a specific wavelength of light called BLU-U or Clear-Light. This takes about 8-10 minutes.

The health benefits offered by alternative healing methods like progressive relaxation, meditation, yoga, chiropractic medicine, etc. have multitudes believing in the sensibility that you are as old as you look. Though there are many critics for this branch of medicine, science proper is constantly discovering and finding innovations for methods of prolonging life. Over the counter drugs and the beauty business too have played no mean role in furthering this notion. An individual is not old at 50 anymore, he is ‘ancient’. The ‘new’ old age creeps in on a person at 30 years of age as is believed by an entire generation fed on Hollywood beauties and dazzle. The rise of the gym culture too has people running the treadmill to a healthier body. It’s a race against time, and everyone’s running in it. Where is your place in this race?
You may have joined the health revolution with your body feeling like a million bucks, but does your face match up to your body’s oomph? If you have followed every avenue to a healthier body and lifestyle, chances are you may have already heard of a cosmetic procedure called rhytidectomy. More commonly known as a ‘face lift’, rhytidectomy assures long term benefits which beauty creams and over the counter drugs only aspire to fulfill.
Natural aging of the face occurs due to factors like exposure to extreme weather, stress, hormones, etc. The area between the eyebrows, around the mouth, the corners of the eyes and the neck are main areas which face the brunt of such damaging factors. Rhytidectomy, though not holding a promise to freeze time, offers the hope of slowing time up for you. It removes excess fat, tightens underlying muscles and re-drapes the neck and facial skin.
Procedures like a forehead lift, eyelid surgery and nose reshaping are supplementary procedures which also can be opted for in order to attain a younger look. At the Plastic Surgery Institute, we offer all these procedures besides rhytidectomy. Our consultants in Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, Pasadena, San Diego and Huntington Beach are highly experienced and capable of providing you with answers to all your questions.
As this is a major cosmetic procedure, a rhytidectomy or a facelift takes several hours or more. Sometimes, a surgeon requires a patient to schedule two separate sessions. But this is the case if there is any extra plastic surgery required to be done on the facial area.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, professional plastic surgeons meticulously examine the facial and bone structure before performing a rhytidectomy. Depending on the facial structure and the surgeon’s operating technique, the incisions are made.
The incisions are made at points that can be easily covered by the hair or by any other facial feature. The incisions usually start from above the hairline at the temples. The facial skin is then lifted away from the underlying fat and muscles.
Depending on the facial shape that is required the fat is trimmed and the muscles and membrane are tightened. The plastic surgeon then closes the incisions with stitches and if required, metal clips are used.
A rhytidectomy has to be executed in a very intricate manner and the plastic surgeons at PSI have a deep understanding of this procedure. They are well-trained and have a finely honed sense of aesthetics.
A patient’s face is the canvas on which the PSI plastic surgeons work out the fine art of cosmetic surgery. Working in close consultation with the patient they create faces that hold time in thrall.

Scars are nature’s way of extracting payment for any injury to the body. Accidents, injuries and minor cuts and bruises lead to scar formation. While some scars are minor facial flaws, there are some scars like burn scars which are known to cause major facial distortion.
There is no way to prevent scars from forming after any injury to the skin. Ointments and concealers are of no help for scar revision. The only way their presence can be minimized is through a scar revision procedure which cosmetic surgery provides.
With a scar revision procedure, a scar can be either relocated strategically or else blended in with the surrounding skin. Different scar formations call for different types of plastic surgery treatments though.
For instance, scars that result from extreme burning make the skin heal in a contracting manner. Treating such scars require major plastic surgery and often call for more than one sitting.
Another type of scarring that patients come to plastic surgeons for is keloid scars, which are actually growths in the scarred area. Hypertrophic scars are similar to keloid scars but are generally more raised and thicker and restrict muscle movement. Plastic surgeons treat such scars with steroid injections to reduce their size.
If the scar still remains, then it is removed surgically and fine sutures are used which result in scars that are considerably fainter.
Scar revision is a great option if the scar interferes with facial movement or with overall facial appearance. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California at Orange County offers facial scar revision besides other face surgery options like facelifts, forehead lifts, cheek implants, etc.

The geography of the Middle East makes it a very harsh land to stage battle in. Rocky deserts, shifting sands, enemy shrapnel and metal and houses of stone and mortar are all part of the landscape. When these blow up, the damage caused to a body can be severe and at times quite devastating. Around 28,000 U.S. soldiers are estimated to have been wounded in the war in Iraq, and more than 1,200 soldiers suffer casualtie from the Afghanistan war alone.
Some soldiers return with multiple injuries and deformities and require close to seventeen surgeries to get the body back to a semblance of normalcy. The U.S. military hospitals certainly carry out their job very well. They stitch, cut, slice, bind and heal very expertly and help war veterans to get back in function.
Understandably, that is just about the best they can do, seeing that physical well-being takes precedence over any other matter. But where the military hospitals sign off, plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery step in.
A lot of plastic surgeons provide procedures that help a war veteran get the best of his looks back. A majority of these soldiers come to surgeons with scarred faces resulting from debris, shrapnel and second degree burns. A nose hit out of place, smashed jawlines, cuts in the hands, etc. are also a common problems.
In such cases plastic surgeons come to the rescue with laser treatments, surgeries for the face, microdermabrasion procedures, rhinoplasty, peels, etc. By taking care of the aesthetic healing of war wounds, a plastic surgeon can help restore a soldier’s self worth.
The war need not be the end of a soldier’s potential. At the Plastic Surgery Of California, we do our best to aid a smooth transition from a life of combat to a life of social normalcy. Visit us at any of our facilities in California for consultation and cosmetic surgery prcedures.
There are those who swear by the authenticity of Hollywood goddess Angelina Jolie’s luscious lips. Bee-stung lips became all the rage when she shot to the upper legions of Hollywood actors with movies like ‘Tomb Raider’ and ‘Original Sin’. Brittany Murphy, of ‘Just Married’ fame, is the latest fan of the bee-stung lip look with her [seemingly] enhanced lips.
Whether these celebrities have actually had their lips enhanced or not we might never know. But for the men and women looking for lips that are similar to their favorite celebrity, lip augmentation treatments are the best that cosmetic surgery has to offer.
There are two things that plastic surgeons can do to plump up and accentuate lips. They can either use injectables or they can use implants.
Among the injectable options that are available there are synthetic materials like Artecoll and organic materials like Autologen, Collagen, Dermalogen, Fascia, fat, HylaForm and Restylane which surgeons can use for augmenting a patient’s lips.
From among the implants that plastic surgeons use are materials like Alloderm, Gore-Tex, SoftForm, soft ePTFE and local flap and fat grafts.
Both injectables and implants come with their own set of pros and cons and hence it is best to consult your doctor which is the treatment best suited for you. For instance, certain synthetic injectables have a chance of resulting in an infection, but are preferred to organic fillers like fat which the body will absorb in a few months.
Lip augmentation can produce marvelous results, but in the end you are the one who has to live with a changed body. If you have a slight body and facial structure, then it is not advisable to go in for a lip augmentation that will give you full-blown lips.
Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California in Orange County, California for an honest consultation on lip augmentation and other surgeries to enhance your facial appearance.
