Michael Jackson: Before The Weirdness And Plastic Surgery

You couldn't help but be captivated by the unbelievably cute
kid with the amazingly controlled falsetto voice and
electric dance moves. He was only 10 years old, when he
exploded onto the music scene, along with his brothers as
the lead singer of the Jackson 5, but he had the stage
presence of a twenty year veteran. Before or since, I
haven't seen a child that talented, that aware, that
dynamic, that charismatic!

I'm talking about Michael Jackson, of course. And if you
didn't have the privilege of seeing him perform as a child--
live or on television, you missed out on the most gifted
child performer in the history of music.

Do yourself a favor and see if you can find a videotape of
some of the Jackson 5's old television appearances, and
you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. They were truly
magical--especially Michael!

The whole world fell in love with the Jackson 5! In the
early seventies, the Jackson 5 were the hottest recording
act on the planet!

They had number one record after number one record, after
number one record. They sold out concerts worldwide. They
were everywhere--television commercials, cereal boxes,
school bookcovers, and on every teeny-bopper magazine. They
even had their very own Saturday morning cartoon! The
Jackson 5 were truly a phenomenom!

The Jackson 5 were all talented in their own right, but it
was little Michael who was the special one--the prodigy--the
genius!

In fact, if Michael hadn't grown up and weirded out on us,
there's little question, he'd be considered the greatest
entertainer of all time. As an adult, he still had the magic
that so captivated us when he was a child.

Actually, despite his current trials and tribulations,
arguably, he's still considered the greatest, if you judge
him strictly on talent and record sales.

Remember, this man holds the Guinness World Record for
having the biggest selling album of all time--"Thriller!" In
addition, in 2000, at the World Music Awards, Jackson was
honored with the Best Selling Male Pop Artist of the
Millennium award. In other words, he was voted the best
selling pop artist of the last thousand years!

Yes, I know he looks like a freak now--or worse, but you
should have seen this kid before the allegations of child
molestations, before the weirdness, before the plastic
surgery. When he was performing on stage, you literally
couldn't take your eyes off of him.

How ironic that is, because now, we can barely stand to look
at him!

Face Lift Dentistry Can Remove Years Off The Facial Appearance

The Dental Face Lift is a unique, patient-centered, restorative, and bite reconstructive treatment that only requires dental restorations. The process requires no facial surgery, no stitches, and no cosmetic procedures such as Botox, Restylane, or Collagen. There is minimal to no grinding on the natural teeth and the Dental Face Lift procedure is often completed in as little as two visits.

Dr. Sam Muslin, a Santa Monica cosmetic dentist, has developed a system of assessing and treating facial dimension issues that go beyond traditional cosmetic dentistry. Conventional cosmetic dentistry focuses on issues that improve the smile, such as tooth whitening or bleaching with products such as Zoom, BriteSmile or Crest Whitening Strips and perhaps by placing some Porcelain Veneers or Lumineers on the upper teeth. Facial elements such as thin lips, a short lower face, facial wrinkles and lower jaw or TMJ issues seemingly escape the awareness of many general practice dentists. These issues are vital in the treatment of the Dental Face Lift. The patient's unique soft tissue facial characteristics are enhanced naturally by supporting the soft tissue with the hard tissue, i.e. the teeth.

The most important aspect of Face Lift Dentistry is the geometrical, functional and three-dimensional analysis of the entire face. Not only is the smile treated but the entire face. People smile about 2% of the time, while the other 98% the lips have flattened, the faces have collapsed or sunk in, there are facial lines or wrinkles and we look older than we should, especially if we are over 50. Many of our facial weaknesses become more obvious as we grow older. We can be improving these areas by using the teeth for additional facial support.

Patients are surprised when a live motion camera system is used which allows them to observe themselves from all angles talking in front of a television monitor. Most patients did not know how they looked while speaking. During the 98% of the time when they are not smiling, patients were surprised to see how their teeth look. Some patients had porcelain veneers placed by previous dentist and were unhappy with the results. Patients with crooked lower teeth are surprised to see how visible those teeth are during a normal conversation.

The goal is to treat the face, the bite and the health of the entire body by maximizing the potential of the teeth to support faces, lips and cheeks. The patient's face can be lengthened which will remove years off of the facial appearance. Facial wrinkles are smoothed out and the lips naturally appear thicker. By reconstructing the patient's bite with Face Lift Dentistry, the patient goes way beyond just a smile makeover, which conventional cosmetic dentistry attempts to treat.

Some people have had a deep over-bite their entire life that contributes to a short lower face while other patients develop a short lower face from years of grinding and the wearing down of their teeth. Because the process is gradual, many people are not aware that they grind and that they are wearing down. The face looks its age because of the loss of tooth support and the flattening of their bite. Some 30-year-old patients have a 50-year-old looking face because of a deep over-bite but some 50-year-old patients look far younger because they had Face Lift Dentistry!

Aging and tooth wear is a normal process and the loss of vertical dimension of a patient's face is the result. The face collapses along with the wear on the teeth. The life expectancy of our population has increased to nearly 100 years of age. Over time, the bite is typically flattened with wear resulting in teeth that further date faces.

Short dark yellow teeth with old fillings and crowns that do not match make us look old. The Dental Face Lift replaces all of the old crowns and fillings in just a couple of visits. The facial height and support that we lost over the years can be restored with bite reconstruction. The treatment can be completed in as few as two visits. No facial surgery or stitches, and most patients go back to work the very next day. The dentist has to be very efficient and quick with the delivery of care and be highly organized.

One of the latest dental technologies is super dental bonding that lets the dentists completely rebuild a patient's bite, support their face and permanently whiten their teeth without grinding down their natural teeth. Non-Invasive dentistry evolves to this higher standard when the ceramist and dentist team is highly skilled.

The patient is healthier when all of the old mismatched crowns and fillings are replaced. Conflicting metals and decaying tooth structures are replaced with biologically compatible porcelain materials. Decay is removed for maximum health and the bite is rebuilt. Cusps are worn down and facial height is lost. Rebuilding the bite restores the cusp tips for better chewing and facial height to restore a more youthful face. The dentist's skill and knowledge are the most critical element in Face Lift Dentistry. Advanced training combined with artistic ability is a necessity. All of the three dimensional components, technical elements and functional components such as speech and chewing must be dynamically balanced and biologically harmonized.

Five Criteria For A Good Face Lift Candidate

As with any type of surgery, there are a number of different factors that determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure. Using the five criteria listed and described in the guide below, you will be able to develop a good idea about whether or not you are a good candidate for face lift surgery. Please remember, however, that this guide is not meant to replace the advice of a qualified doctor.

No. 1: Your General and Overall Health

It is never a good idea to undergo a surgical procedure if you are not in good health unless it is absolutely necessary or meant to actually improve your health. Going under anesthesia, the surgical procedure and the subsequent healing process can be very complicated if you are already in poor health. As face list surgery is considered to be an elective procedure in almost all cases, it is unlikely that your physician and surgeon will clear you for the procedure if you are not well. Even if you are healthy, you must discuss any type of medication you are taking with your surgeon. Some medications can interfere with anesthesia and complicate the healing process. If you happen to be taking any such type of medication, you will have to either stop taking it or wean yourself off the drug before going through with the surgery. Only do so under medical supervision. If you must continue to take the medication for the sake of your health, you may not be a candidate for face lift surgery.

No. 2: Your Emotional Health

Face lift surgeries are defined as ?successful? if a patient who went into the surgery with realistic expectations feels satisfied with the results, after the healing process has come to a close. Surgeons have found, however, that people who are not emotionally well rarely have successful face lift surgeries. If a patient is having the surgery to please someone else, or feels that the surgery will cure a larger problem in his or her life, disappointment is a likely outcome.

No. 3 and 4: Age and Skin Condition

The best candidates for face lift surgery are men and women between the ages of 40 and 60 who still have some elasticity in their skin. This is the age during which the signs of aging start to become very clear. Between 40 and 60, skin begins to droop, sag and crease. A face lift is meant to reverse these effects of aging. Although this is the ideal age for a face lift candidate, successful face lifts have been performed on patients who are in their 80s. No. 5: Understanding the Risks and Limitations of Face Lift Surgery

A cosmetic face lift surgery can do a great deal to improve appearance. However, it cannot change the condition of a patient?s skin. Although the skin will appear to be more taught after a face lift surgery, the color (or discoloration), tone and texture of the skin will not be altered. A man in his 60s, for example, will not look like he stepped out of his high school photo after a face lift. Also, it is important for patients to understand the risks associated with face lift surgery and to be prepared for all possible outcomes.

Face Lift: To Restore The Youthful Look And Vigor Of The Face

With the advancement of age, the skin also grows old. The first phase of oldness can be first noticed in the face. Wrinkles appear in different areas of the face. The vigor, tranquility and the serenity of the face looses its luster with the advancement of age. But the wrinkles of the face can be to a certain extent reduced through certain surgery in the face, more particularly through the process of certain cosmetic surgery. Face lift is a basic form of surgery on the basis of which the wrinkles of the face can be reduced to a certain extent. Face lift is a form of plastic surgery which is generally performed through the process of incisions which are made in different areas of the areas more particularly near the ear. This process of face lift helps in the process of firming the skin and helps the face to maintain the youthful look and vigor. Face lift thus works like wonder in dramatically maintaining the youthful look of the face.

The basic from of face lift can be performed through a medical procedure which requires local anesthesia. Besides surgical procedure of face lift, there are also certain non surgical techniques for face lift which can be performed through lasers, through radio frequency emitters and also through the process of application of certain creams which will help in the process of tightening of the skin. The medical term of face lift is ?rhytidectomy.? Face lift is thus a process which helps in the process of reversing the advancing age which lead in the formation of certain wrinkles in the face. It helps in eliminating the sagging and the creasing procedure of the face. Face lift thus rejuvenates the skin which helps in making the skin more firmed and tightened by way of tightening the areas of the face more particularly in the jowl areas of the face, facial skin and also in the neck skin zones which gets loosened with the advancement of the age.

Thus in whatever way the face lift is performed but the main principle which lies behind the process of face lift is to rejuvenate the youthful age and the vigor of the skin more particularly in the facial areas. Thus old age which basically is the proven age for wrinkles and for sagging of the skin, need not be a matter of much concern because the remedy of it is now in the air with the process of plastic surgery like face lift.

Why wrinkles are a major concern of old age? But there is no need to worry about it as the solution can be had through procedures like face lift.
