The Face Lift You Don’t Need To Have An Operation For

Isn't it amazing how many innovations medical science comes up with? For the plastic surgery sector especially, there are newer and better ways being discovered to reduce pain and make the entire surgery process shorter. Lasers, external prosthetics, etc. are the most recent advancements in this area.

The latest innovation to join this list is LiftMagic, the first website of its kind to give instant cosmetic surgery results.

Largely focusing on the facial appearance, all you have to do is upload a picture of you on this site. Using a special algorithm (formula), the site then enhances or reduces different parts of the face. Users can also adjust the percent of change they want in any particular area.

So there you have it, a completely painless face lift.

While critics point out that the weight reduction option will send off wrong signals to weight-conscious adolescents, the founders behind the site maintain that LiftMagic is simply a convenient way to view a face lift surgery or weight loss result.

In my opinion, the site offers potential face lift and face implant candidates the chance to adjust to the results of a cosmetic modification. Based on this they can consult with their cosmetic surgeon and get advice on the degree of change that is actually required.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California insists on educating patients before they undertake any plastic surgery procedure they wish to undertake. An educated patient is a satisfied patient.

Botox Bandit Finally Caught

If you wanted a clear sign that times are bad for the American dollar, this is it.

 

A woman in Florida who skipped out on her Botox treatment payment and has been on the run ever since last week has been finally caught up with by the police. This is probably the first person to con a plastic surgeon for payment on a Botox treatment according to them.

 

While the doctor is partly to blame for this steal- he did not screen the patient properly before treatment, he certainly cannot be held responsible for the way the patient behaved.

 

The woman registered under a fake name at the plastic surgery clinic and claimed to be a resident of another state. This is not an uncommon occurrence as many people go for a face lift or cosmetic surgery vacation to another locality.

 

Strangely enough 23-year-old Kellie Thomas is more concerned about her boyfriend finding out about her face lift procedure (Botox is usually considered a face surgery treatment constituent) and less about her theft!

 

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California makes sure to screen its patients before procedures like face lift surgery or even a Botox treatment. Experienced consultants establish the financial ability of a patient to pay off the treatment of any enhancement/correction procedure before proceeding with it.

Face Surgery And Anesthesia – Now More Pain

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that post-surgery pain heightens if the cosmetic surgery patient has been introduced to general anesthesia.

 

A procedure like face lift surgery often calls for the doctor to employ complex techniques to reconstruct the patient's face. In reconstructive face lift surgery especially there is often a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures executed to get the desired changes.

 

Cosmetic surgeons administer general anesthesia if this is the case allowing them to conduct the face surgery or face implant operation while the patient is unconscious.

 

The research conducted on rats discovered that the chemically irritating anesthesia drugs commonly integrated in general anesthesia can cause pain-sensing nerves strong sensitivity and inflammation.

 

Most patients will shudder at that and tell their face lift surgeon to use local anesthesia for their plastic surgery. However, it would do to remember that the type of anesthesia employed is not up to the patient to decide.

 

The plastic surgeon in consultation with the anesthesiologist decides upon this step. They generally base their decision on the complexity of the surgery involved and the tolerance of the patient to the chemicals.

 

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we take especial care of this step and evaluate patients accordingly before their face lift procedure. Find additional help at our advanced surgical institute.

 

Face Surgery Poster Girl – Debbie Harry

This is undoubtedly the biggest testimonial to the benefits of a cosmetic surgery procedure like face lift surgery.

 

I grew up listening to Blondie and one of the things I enjoyed the most about the band was the lead singer Debbie Harry who was the perfect embodiment of a waif trapped in a body made to ogle. Her strange getups and body language somehow complemented her voice which if I could describe in word would be called 'sweet'.

 

Debbie has grown up a lot now and is almost 63 but is far from an aging dowager put to pasture. She looks absolutely stunning and ready to give her younger counterparts stiff competition with a face that has been revamped to the last wrinkle.

 

Face lift surgery could very well be the culprit responsible for Debbie Harris' new look more than the mandatory diet, exercise and workout mantra that are usually touted. Let's see how long Debbie takes to admit to her face lift procedure.

 

Not an unusual procedure for people over 50, a face lift is a plastic surgery treat that bestows incredible tone and volume (if the face lacks it) to a person's face. Additionally, there is no age limit for the treatment and men and women of a younger age group can also have a face lift or a face implant procedure.

 

Older patients however have skin that is more delicate, and manipulating it along with the underlying muscles calls for considerable expertise and skill- two things you can expect at our advanced surgical institute.

Is A New Husband Better Than A Face Lift?

They probably are, but Jerry Hall has gone on record to make such a statement.

The former model and wife of Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger is vehemently against cosmetic enhancement of any kind. According to her, “Cosmetic surgery never looked good and women who had procedures done look weird.”

In another interview Jerry also mentions that the idea of a young face and a wrinkly body is completely gross. Seems to me she should have stuck with Mick given his super-wrinkly skin which happens to match the rest of his body.

But if there’s one thing Jerry Hall doesn’t want then it’s her daughters dating bad rock star types like Jagger. Protective mother this one.

For a 51-something woman Jerry doesn’t look like she’s shunning cosmetic surgery altogether. Her model body is trim and svelte and her face is remarkably smooth. Jerry sure looks like she indulges in a little filler treatment every now and then.

Though we doubt she had a major face lift surgery, there is a possibility of her going in for a mini face lift which presents similar results and works on a smaller area. One could almost be thankful for the foresight with which she has preserved her face compared to her crinkled ex-husband. Don’t you think so?

Get to know how a face lift or a face implant can help you at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Face Lift Surgery Paragon – Toyah Wilcox

Toyah Wilcox is still the zany pop-punk princess she was all those years ago (the 80’s especially) and never fails to miss a chance to shock. Unlike many of her glam counterparts, she has not given up on her looks. Neither has she let her plastic surgeon go berserk on her face.

The face lift surgery she had without her husband’s knowledge stands testimony to her makeover and her un-50-like looks. While the tell-tale signs of aging can be seen just lurking around a faint wrinkle, Toyah’s face is far from crinkled with them.

Toyah was responsible for many of the looks which can be seen in pop and punk divas today with her fluorescent hairdos and extreme makeup. Regardless of her flamboyant attitude towards personal enhancement, Wilcox claims her wish for a face lift procedure was planted after Jonathan Ross commented on her looks.

But Toyah is far from being a cosmetic surgery junkie and rather than going ahead with her tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery on her own, this time she says she will get her husband’s approval.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we approve women taking their own decisions when it comes to face lift or any other cosmetic surgery. Consulting your dear ones and taking their suggestions wouldn’t hurt though and would help significantly in the adjustment process post-surgery.

Facial Paralysis & Botulinum Toxin

Each year 25 out of 100,000 individuals are diagnosed with a condition called Bell’s palsy. This disorder makes up for 75 percent of the total incidents of facial paralysis- a number that cannot be ignored by any account.

The causes of facial paralysis are different and the treatment of each case is sorely dependent on the cause of the paralysis.

Factors range from brain tumors to infections and strokes and recovery from the condition is often prolonged. Plastic surgery has made a lot of advances towards treating facial paralysis with help from various face surgery techniques.

Last year surgeons in the U.S. discovered a new method to partially re-animate the faces of long-term facial paralysis patients. The tendon transfer technique or the ‘smile surgery’ was found to improve facial symmetry along with allowing the patient to smile properly by severing a muscle and joining it with the tendons in the affected area.

Controlled administrations of Botulinum toxin or botox are also considered an excellent face surgery method for patients suffering from this disorder. The technique made headway when researchers found that a combination of Botox and facial exercises could reorganize those parts of the brain responsible for facial mobility.

Research is still on for treating facial paralysis though and each day new discoveries and studies turn up rays of hope for those patients suffering from a severe case. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more help with face lift surgery.

A Transformed Face – It Can Be Yours!

As we begin to age certain parts of our face tend to droop and develop wrinkles. When beauty cosmetics and hot springs were in vogue, wrinkles and double chins were something people more or less lived with. Today, it’s a different game altogether.

Step in plastic surgery with all its fascinating age-reducing options like face lift (rhytidectomy) and nose surgery. Aging, thanks to the renewed efforts of cosmetic surgeons, has been busted.

In the U.S. people are now well-versed with the concept of face lift and face surgery. The credit of this knowledge can be given to various TV series, reality shows, magazines and news reports with a focus on plastic surgery. The face lift procedure includes tightening of the skin in the cheeks, chin, jowls and neck and is generally performed in conjunction with forehead and eyelid surgery.

Face lift surgery procedures are obviously more popular amongst celebrities since their paychecks revolve around the quality of their looks which in turn reflects on their on-screen appearance. Most of the people who opt for a face lift opt for a mini face lift as it shows noticeable changes and takes comparatively less time to heal.

Undergoing any kind of body transformation needs proper guidance. Decisions related to any sort of plastic surgery procedure should be taken by the face lift candidate only after proper knowledge of the procedure and its disadvantages. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California you can find consultants who can help you out with your decision of having a facelift surgery.

Amanda Holden’s Got A Clear Face

For a 37-year-old, Amanda Holden looks remarkably young and pretty.

Thanks to a recent newsbyte everybody is in on Amanda’s secret and knows that she owes her smooth-faced look to some slick cosmetic surgery work. The TV star came clean on her beauty secrets when she confessed to having Botox injections while shooting in sunny South Africa.

Amanda, one of the judges on Britain’s Got Talent first gained notoriety for her difficult split from her first husband Les Dennis. From the look of things she seems to have got her life back on track with a marriage with the father of her child on the cards.

The bytes she gave recently about her plastic surgery help are something of an about-face given her previous claims to maintaining her youthful looks by makeup and diets.

Subtle use of Botox and similar injectables can accomplish results that are generally attainable with a face lift. The cosmetic surgeon however has to be experienced with administering the injectable, or else the effect will not be that stunning.

Surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California study a patient’s face carefully if a face lift surgery alternative like Botox is requested. This not only allows administration of the filler in places that warrant it but also allow its application in the right proportion.

Forty-four-year-old Face Lift Televised To Lift Cosmetic Surgery

The Great Dane is out on a mission and there’s no stopping her.

For a woman who has been tagged to and in some cases married ‘heavyweights’, Brigitte Nielson has always got what she wanted. This time it is the plastic surgery message she wants to get across to the masses and German television network RTL is going to make her wish come true.

With her towering height of 6 foot1, a big boned frame and Slavic looks to match, Brigitte stormed the movie screens with her penchant for dominatrix-style roles. She makes for a contrasting figure with her curvy body and nearly androgynous looks.

A face lift surgery for her age (44) is common behavior though as many men and women opt for one in their mid-forties. For many women this age is quite a turning point as the biological clock gains momentum and starts ticking louder.

In 2007 alone, the ASPS noticed 37,400 face lift procedures performed by men and women between the age span of 40 and 54. This was the age-group that exhibited the second highest rate of face lift surgery, the highest being the 55 and over age-group with 78,765 procedures performed.

Brigitte just might need some heavy face lift work performed on her though as a lifestyle of too much cigarette, alcohol and bad skin care seem to have left their mark on her. Her skin might need additional microdermabrasion and injectable fillers to get the glow back.

Get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to know what your face lift surgery options are.
