Exercise Stops the Need for Plastic Surgery and Injections

Almost every day there is an article written and published about the industry of beauty; the topics vary but you can be assured that Botox and fillers via injections, surgery and procedures will be discussed ad nauseam. These invasive, perilous undertakings entice those who want to look younger and these brave souls don't mind putting their health at risk as they alter their appearance time and again with the latest and greatest cosmetic procedure.

An unfortunate by-product of plastic cosmetic surgery is suicide. That's right, for whatever reason, men and women who are disappointed with the results are increasingly becoming suicidal. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is real and its meaning can be summed up in just one sentence ? This is a mental disorder suffered by both men and women that causes an extremely critical self analysis of one's physique with less than satisfactory results from plastic surgery or other modalities of physical enhancement. Imagine, having procedure after procedure and still seeing an ugly duckling in the mirror.

Chasing after the Fountain of Youth has been an on-going odyssey for centuries and even though drug companies would like you to believe that toxins and the like will help you look younger, at the end of the day, you will still be the age you are only with a body filled with chemicals that can have an adverse effect on your good health. This risk of dependency affects more than just physical health, now we must consider mental health!

Chemicals, toxins, cadaver based fillers, surgery, feather lifts, Thermage, lasers and more are temporary and risky procedures that keep you looking older. Yes, older! These fixes do nothing but prop up your aging face, producing short lived self confidence because when these gimmicks wear off, you must repeat and repeat the procedures to maintain the desired semblance of prettiness and youthfulness.

Does anyone who regularly shoots up think about the consequences ten years from now? It's a well known fact that when you paralyze a portion of the face, the face contorts to accommodate the affected muscles and these contortions lead to more wrinkles. What about the fillers that plump up nasal labial folds? How much can the body endure from repeated uses of sterilized cadaver and bovine materials?

And what about cutting into the face of a perfectly healthy body to stop the slide of muscles and skin? Consider this: If you see that your butt is sliding into the top of your thigh or that your underarm is jiggling, would surgery be your first line of defense? Heavens no! Most likely you would begin an exercise regimen to tone up your body; surgery probably wouldn't enter your mind.

Doctors and drug companies advertise. They heavily advertise so that you will begin to believe their message, their hype. They want you to believe that this injection, this procedure, this medication will make you look and feel younger and healthier. When you think about the long-term expense and risk, do these options seem sound? How many procedures and injections will be required over a twenty span? Will you eventually stop them and then just look old? That's doubtful because studies show that people who have one procedure will likely eye the menu and book another. It's likened to a gerbil on his wheel ? imperfections can create the desire for more and more treatments that just might interfere with your life. After all, surgery is risky, even deadly!

I admire Alex Kuczynski, author of Beauty Junkies, who believes a very sad fate has tainted the feminine ideal, declaring that the culture of "better" has corrupted the perception of what is beautiful and even acceptable. In other words, the ads would have you believe that you need to be fixed. Ms Kuczynski nor I want you to end up look like an aging porn star from chasing after injections and surgery.

Enough already! Let's move on to a positive space ? a space where everyone can return the look of youthfulness to their face without any risk, pain or spending their children's inheritance.

External beauty like inner beauty takes work; yes, it's easy to just allow someone to administer beauty enhancements but did you know there is an alternative to the usual suspects of improvement? One that will definitely help you look younger and it doesn't involve surgery or injections ? it's facial exercise that uses isometric contractions and resistance that when employed for just a few weeks will create a younger looking face by strengthening and toning hidden facial muscles that support our skin.

Bottom line: Aging isn't what it used to be. Defy it! Exercise your face!

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PLASTIC SURGERY - Look Perfect for Your Special Day!

Southern California Plastic Surgery Group, located on North Bedford Drive, Beverly Hills, specializes in rhinoplasty, eye surgery, facelifts and breast reconstruction as well as eyelid surgery, body contouring, and liposuction. Their plastic surgeons also do hand surgery including repairing of the tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and bones of the hand and wrist.

The Plastic Surgery Centers of Beverly Hills and Agoura Hills specialize in cosmetic and reconstruction surgery for both men and women. The centers were founded by Dr. Robert Gutstein, a board certified surgeon with years of experience in all types of plastic surgery. Their goal is to produce the best result while taking the easiest course they possibly can.

The largest plastic surgery group in the country is the Beverly Hills Surgical Institute, consisting of 14 of the nation's leading plastic surgeons at their 11 facilities throughout Southern California. "At BHSI, we are committed to excellence in patient satisfaction," says Lee Mercer, Chief Operating Officer.

"My mission is to help you look and feel healthy, happy and youthful," says Sean Younai, M.D. Dr. Younai and his staff offer patients a safe, comfortable and positive plastic surgery experience. You will also find skin care and laser spa services, offering non-surgical means of skin rejuvenation and re-establishing your youthful appearance.

Elective surgery, particularly the more invasive procedures, isn't just a physical surgery - it is also a very emotional experience, which can cause a great impact on your mind, both positively and negatively. Preparation is a vital step since you can set yourself up for depression and shock if you're not completely ready.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it is critical that you ask questions, including:

-- Is the doctor certified to perform the procedure you're considering? -- Does the doctor have hospital privileges? -- Is the facility accredited? -- How are complications handled?

The best thing to do before deciding on any procedure is research and discussion. Carefully research your procedure and your physician. Look for the best doctor, not the most economical. You may want to talk to a counselor about your thoughts on plastic surgery if you aren't sure you're making the right decision for you.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic plastic surgery remodels, repairs, or restores body parts, usually by the transfer of tissue. In addition to correcting a deficiency, cosmetic plastic surgery is often sought to improve the shape of a nose, bring protruding ears closer to the head, remove abdominal flesh or add fat to the buttocks. There are many options.

Many women undergo cosmetic plastic surgery to enhance their breasts. Mastopexy raises or reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissues and the nipples. Augmentation mammaplasty enhances breast size using inflatable implants filled with saline. However, a surgical procedure could be required to treat deflation, the formation of scar tissue around the implant, or a decrease in the sensitivity of nipples.

Buttock augmentation is for people who lack buttock fat. The buttocks are augmented with the use of implants either made from solid silicone or a softer form of cohesive silicone encased in a silicone bag. The former is more resistant to deterioration than a saline-filled implant.

Liposuction removes fat deposits with a tube and vacuum device. It may be performed on the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, area above the knees, upper arms, area under the chin, or neck area. The most-requested area is the abdomen. Known as abdominoplasty, the surgery removes excess skin and fat that may accumulate after pregnancy, obesity or age.

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose by reducing or increasing its size, changing the shape of the tip or bridge, narrowing the span of the nostrils, or changing the angle between the nose and upper lip. It may relieve breathing problems. Otoplasty sets prominent ears closer to the head or reduces the size of large ears. All incisions are placed within the natural folds of the ear structure so there are no visible scars.

All cosmetic plastic surgery carries the possibility of infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. A patient can reduce the risks by choosing a qualified plastic surgeon and following his or her advice.

Heading Overseas for Plastic Surgery

Statistics show plastic surgery is becoming more commonplace these days. For some, combining it with a trip makes absolute sense.

Heading Overseas for Plastic Surgery

One of the fastest growing trends in medical treatment today is plastic surgery. Face lifts, liposuction, nose jobs and breast augmentation are all very popular surgical options for people looking to feel better about the way that they look. While plastic surgery is a generally safe and permanent solution to many individuals' cosmetic concerns, unfortunately, it can be expensive. Health insurance usually does not cover the cost of cosmetic procedures, and so many patients are forced to pay for the entire cost of their surgery. In order to cut down on the price of their procedures, many potential patients are now choosing to have plastic surgery overseas.

When choosing to have plastic surgery overseas, there are many issues to consider. Before even starting to look for a different country in which to have your procedure, make sure that you have a consultation with your own doctor here in the United States. That way, you can be sure that you're in good enough health to be able to have any surgical procedure, regardless of the location of the surgeon. You'll also want to make sure to research the location or country where you want to have your surgery performed. Not all countries have the same standards for their doctors and hospitals, so you'll want to find out just what sort of credentials are needed in your chosen country.

Another item to consider when having plastic surgery overseas is what you would do if any complications arise from your surgery. Often, when a patient chooses to have surgery in a different country, aftercare for their cosmetic procedure is not included. You may end up leaving the hospital or facility where your surgery was performed without being fully recovered, because medical standards vary. Be sure to have a doctor lined up for aftercare in the US before leaving for your plastic surgery abroad.

A final item to consider is whether you will actually be saving a large amount of money by having your procedure abroad. Sometimes, when you factor in the cost of flying to a different country, as well as the cost of staying in that country before and after your surgery, it may be cheaper to stay in the US and have your plastic surgery done at home.

Choosing plastic surgery overseas can be a viable choice for people looking to cut down on the cost of cosmetic procedures, but it's important to do a lot of research on the subject before planning your trip and deciding to have surgery in a different country.

Preparing For Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Copyright 2006 Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery

Congratulations ? you?ve finally decided to take the next step and proceed with cosmetic plastic surgery. While this is an exciting time for you, we understand that you may also have some anxiety about the coming weeks.

To ensure your cosmetic plastic surgery experience is a safe and smooth surgery and recovery period, we?ve put together a few tips and strategies. From today until the morning of your surgery, use these tips to maximize your experience through careful planning.

Timing

Start by evaluating the amount of time you will need for your cosmetic plastic surgery procedure, and the amount of time you will need for recovery. Plan your surgery at a time when you social commitments are low, and you can take some time off of work. The key to a successful recovery from a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure is to take the needed time away, and relax as much as possible. Stress will only add more time for recovery.

The amount of time needed for each cosmetic plastic surgery procedure is different. Make sure you speak with your doctor before hand to understand the time for recovery. Share with him the type of activities you do in your normal routine, and any upcoming events that you may be preparing for.

Support

While most cosmetic plastic surgery procedures will not require bed rest, you may wish to have a few family members or friends that are willing to help out for the first week or so. Even though you are electing to have a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure, it is still real surgery, and you should plan accordingly.

Financing

Once you?ve decided on a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure, you must also decide how you will pay for it. Will you be obtaining financing, or have you had time to save for the procedure?

While plastic surgery costs are usually not covered by your regular medical insurance, there a number of ways you can pay for your chosen procedure. Check with your plastic surgery center. Most centers will be able to offer you a variety of ways to cover the plastic surgery costs.

In addition to the cost of the surgery, you should also plan for small incidental expenses. If you don?t have adequate sick or vacation days stored at work, you may be required to take a few days without pay.

Being prepared will ensure your success with any cosmetic plastic surgery procedure you choose.

What Can I Ask To Ensure I Have A Good Plastic Surgery Experience?

Copyright 2006 Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery

With over 14.7 million people in the United States having cosmetic or reconstructive surgery this year, many people are asking, ?What can I ask my surgeon before the procedure to ensure I have a good plastic surgery experience??

Good plastic surgery can be defined by many people in many ways. Some people may define it by achieving successful results, while others may define it in terms of their surgical experience. While good plastic surgery may be hard to define, there are things you can do now before your procedure to ensure maximum results.

The easiest way to ensure a good plastic surgery experience is to maintain an open and qualitative communication line with the staff at the plastic surgery center. Before your procedure, your surgeon should inquire about your potential concerns, fears, priorities and motivation for this surgery. The more he knows about why you?re entering this surgery, the better he can answer your questions.

Your surgeon should also be able to give you reasonable expectations for the outcome of your surgery, and explain what is and isn?t possible with your results.

While most surgeons will provide you with a variety of answers and information to help you explain your procedure, you may wish to bring your questions in with you during one of your pre-consultations.

Questions

* What procedure is the best for me to achieve my desired results?

* How is the surgery performed? What should I expect the day of the surgery?

* Are there any options available to me?

* What are the normal results?

* How long of a recovery period can I expect?

* How noticeable will my scars be?

* While your surgeon will be able to answer these questions easily, it?s always nice to go into your first meeting with a little bit of knowledge.

Ask your questions, and listen to his answers. Does he listen to you, and provide you with answers that are acceptable to you?

Keep in mind that a plastic surgeon is a specialist; he has turned his training into experience. If he has performed your procedure dozens of times, he?ll understand every nuance of the surgery. Ask him to describe the details. Make sure you understand every step of the procedure. You?ll feel more comfortable with the doctor, the procedure, and will be more relaxed during the entire process.

Not only will your questions put you more at ease, but it will also ensure you have a good plastic surgery experience!

Face Lift Alternatives - Do They Work?

You have probably watched one of the popular reality makeover shows where average looking individuals undergo plastic surgery with amazing results. Their once tired, sagging, wrinkled faces become fresh and youthful looking right before our very eyes. This concept works well in the land of Hollywood. However, the reality is that face lifts are very expensive and often require a painful recovery period. They can also have devastating results if not performed correctly. The good news is that many face lift alternatives exist today.

For instance, face lift tapes are designed to be placed along the hairline invisibly anchoring the strings along the center of your skull or back of your head. The results are supposedly instant and painless, but you need to make sure you have enough hair to hide the tapes. Having a tighter looking face with pieces of tape sticking out of your head will completely defeat the purpose!

Non-invasive procedures such as laser facial rejuvenation, Botox injections or chemical peels are also widely available. None of these methods require an anesthetic or lengthy recovery period, but they may result in some discomfort. They may also require multiple sessions which can prove to be quite costly. You should consult with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist to discover the pros and cons of each method.

Other creams or exfoliants are meant to moisturize the skin and remove the dead skin cells. This results in a smoother, younger looking look. Companies such as Hydroderm specialize in products that produce quicker, more painless and less expensive results than traditional facelifts. Their product line includes wrinkle reducers, exfoliating facial cleansers and moisturizers. The key is sampling various types and brands until you find a product that is within your price range and produces favorable results.

The bottom line is you will need to experiment to discover what product works best for you. You must keep in mind that the notion of an ?instant miracle facelift? in a bottle is unrealistic. Nothing will completely prevent the normal process of aging. However, the continued use of some of these products may allow you to lie about your age a little longer?
