Ronnie Wood: Aging Gracefully…Not!

There are some people who will fight tooth and nail to retain their youth- if not emotionally then physically so. One really good example of the latter is Toyah Wilcox, or better even, the much younger Jodie Marsh.

But Ronnie Wood, guitarist for the Rolling Stones definitely falls in the former category. If anyone needs the face lift surgery work the above two ladies have had, then its Ronnie Wood (or the entire RS group for that matter).

The 61-year-old has just got back into rehab for his alcoholism, but not before eloping with a nubile teenager and marrying off his 29-year-old daughter.

Compared to the still sexy 63-year-old Dame Helen Mirren (who, from all accounts, has so far stayed away from a face lift), Ronnie Wood is unfamiliar with the phrase 'aging gracefully'.

But a face lift is not for everybody, as can be seen from Kenny Rogers' (69) botched face lift surgery.

If you are a 60-something and are thinking of a face lift procedure or a face implant to enhance your face, you need a cosmetic surgeon who knows how to enhance an aging face with skill and expertise. Drop by the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for a consult and we will take it from there.

Can You Trust A Nurse For Your Shot Of Botox?

Most of us have encountered a nurse at least once in our life. It could have been when you went to pull out your loose tooth when you were a candy-loving tot or while pacing the waiting room waiting for your child to be delivered.

However much we rely on nurses as a sounding board or a link to doctors and physicians, it is inconceivable to see them assuming these roles. The main reason for this point of view being, they are simply not qualified to carry out angioplasty or a leg amputation.

The nurse's role is primarily an assisting one and when they begin substituting the qualified and certified surgeons they are supposed to assist, it is something to beware.

Plastic Surgery 101 had this frightening picture of a completely unprofessional setup and it immediately brought to my mind something I came across on Injectable Safety.

According to a recent statement made by the group of physicians that are part of this organization, nurses in a cosmetic surgery setup can administer injectable fillers only when they are "under the supervision of a board certified plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, ophthalmic plastic surgeon or dermatologist who has prescribed the injectable treatment appropriate for the patient."

While nurses cannot perform a regular face lift or other plastic surgery procedures, they can be trusted with certain minor treatments like dermal fillers. Check out what Injectable Safety has to say about this.

On the other hand, we do have board certified cosmetic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for the treatment and administration of any cosmetic surgery procedures. Visit us to know more about our policies and procedures on face lift surgery.

Face Your Own Face With Confidence & Face Lift Surgery

If you are like me then the first thing you probably do when you wake up in the morning is glance in the mirror. While on most days my reflection tends to be rather agreeable, there are certainly some days where I simply can't bear to look at myself.

I'm sure all of you would agree with this feeling.

But what if day after day, the image that stares back at you dissatisfies you for some reason or another? It could be a few wrinkles here a droopy, oily nose there, it could be anything.

If you would rather improve this situation you could give some thought to a face lift procedure.

Combine it with treatments like microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, filler treatments, etc. and you could find a fantastic solution to your grief.

Face lift surgery can do wonders for your confidence as well- just like it does for numerous men and women who have a face lift procedure for their professional, personal and social lives.

The cosmetic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California however suggest you take a step towards a face lift surgery because you want it for yourself. Visit us for an appointment at our advanced surgical institute.

 

The Ugly Fight Against Beauty Booster Botox

Allergan Inc., the manufacturer of the noted injectable known as Botox is in deep trouble.

Earlier this month, a group of Botox users slapped a lawsuit on Allergan Inc. claiming that the injectable injured some and even lead to the death of some users. They claimed that Allergen failed to inform the candidates about these effects and this negligence lead to such situations.

In February this year, the FDA issued a warning about the potential ill-effects of the cosmetic derived from botulinum toxin Type A after noticing debilitating problems among children who were administered with a dose for treating cerebral palsy and spasticity.

Sadly, this could be a bad thing for men and women who turn to Botox cosmetic or Myobloc (similar product) to reduce facial wrinkling and view it as an alternative to a cosmetic surgery like face lift.

The FDA however, is looking into the matter and hopefully will smoothen out things for this injectable. The benefits of Botox are many and varied, the effects ranging from duplicating a face lift surgery's effects (temporarily) to assisting in neurological conditions.

That said it is important to remember that no surgery or cosmetic enhancement is 100 percent safe, anomalies can and have been known to occur. The best plastic surgeons can do is reduce the chances of anything going wrong, like how we do at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

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.
