Cosmetic Procedures for Brides

Plastic Surgery Tips for Brides

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

May 20, 2011

May is here, which means that many people will be attending or receiving invitations to weddings in the coming weeks. Ladies who are preparing to tie the knot may want to consider undergoing a cosmetic procedure before their big day - after all, it's important to look your best!
However, in order to receive the best results, it may take a little planning on the part of the bride. While there are a variety of procedures that will make one glow for their ceremony and reception, it's important to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon with enough time to fully recover, according to a recent HealthNewsDigest article.
Botox treatments are some of the most popular treatments, but keep in mind that it typically takes four or five days for the effects to be visible.
Chemical peels are often popular to help clear the face of dead skin cells. However, the procedure can leave the skin feeling a little tender, so you'll want to be sure you have plenty of time to heal before you have to apply your wedding makeup.
Other facial fillers that help plump one's lips can make one appear fresh and gorgeous on the day of their wedding. These injectables often cause swelling or bruising initially, so again, it is a good idea to have this procedure a few days before your wedding.
According to the news source, microdermabrasion is another popular procedure among brides-to-be. This beauty treatment should be scheduled more than a week before the wedding, because the skin may be red or sensitive.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that microdermabrasion works best when done in several sessions over a period of weeks. There are virtually no side effects caused by the procedure, and is recommended for people who have sensitive skin that does not react well to chemical procedures.
There can be a lot of stress leading up to a wedding, so young women would be wise to visit a plastic surgeon for a consultation well before the big day. A medical professional can help you develop a plan for pre-wedding beauty treatments that will ensure you are looking your best when it comes time to walk down the aisle.

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery: Economy Improving!

More Cosmetic Surgery is an Indicator of an Improving Economy

April 4, 2011

 Breast augmentation is still most popular and the facelift is on an upswing!

As the S&P 500, Dow Jones and NASDAQ goeth, so goeth cosmetic surgery procedures. In 2010, both the stock market and increase in cosmetic surgeries mirrored a reviving economy. "We've joked for years that we could create an economic indicator about how we're booked," said Felmont Eaves, president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

According to the April 5th Wall Street Journal, “More than 1.6 million Americans went under the knife for beauty in 2010, receiving breast implants, liposuction or facelifts, sending the rate of cosmetic surgeries up almost 9% from the prior year.” In addition to demonstrating economic recovery this upsurge may indicate the current trend to improve one’s appearance just to remain competitive in a tight job market.
But workplace competition, other than Hooter’s and similar establishments, does not explain why breast augmentation was the most popular surgical procedure in 2010. Actually, the recession never halted the wave of breast augmentation, which has been the leading procedure for the past 3 years, increasing by 2% in 2010. The other most popular 2010 procedures, which all exceeded their 2009 performance, are in descending order, liposuction, eyelid surgery, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast reduction.
Until 2008, liposuction was the most popular procedure, but since 2007 the number of liposuction surgeries has fallen 37%. The reason for this plummet is not apparent, but Dr. Eaves has seen a slight increase in thigh lifts and arm lifts, procedures that might yield similar results.

Who could project the whopping 35% increase in facelifts over 2009? This healthy rebound may point to those consumers who became disenchanted with nonsurgical skin tightening or simply aware of its limitations. Instead, they invested in tried, true and long-lasting facial rejuvenation. In 2010, Americans spent $845 million on facelifts despite the flood of noninvasive treatments that are advertised daily.
Women still hold a strong lead as plastic surgery consumers, accounting for 91% of cosmetic surgeries in 2010. But men are beginning to frown on frown lines and back hair, since they accounted for 8% of all Botox injections and laser hair removal treatments in 2010.

The Aesthetic Society statistics demonstrate a decrease in minimally invasive procedures, but that is most likely because the survey includes only board-certified plastic surgeons. A large number of these procedures are performed by physician’s assistants and nurses. Botox and Dysport lead the pack in nonsurgical procedures. According to the report, more than 7.7 million people underwent nonsurgical procedures in 2010.

Like many other practices that used to be kept secret, plastic surgery is coming out of the closet. Sixty-seven percent of Americans would not be embarrassed if their friends and family knew they had cosmetic surgery.

Bristol Palin's New Look...AFTER surgery!

Bristol Palin admits her recent change in appearance was due to a procedure — but not plastic surgery.
The 20-year-old daughter of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells Us Weekly that she underwent corrective jaw surgery in December, a month after she finished third on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw.
The new look, complete with Palin losing 5 pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C.
"Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons," she told the magazine for its May 23 issue, which will be on newsstands Friday.
Palin said she had the procedure so her jaw and teeth could properly realign.
While growing up, she wore braces and a device to help correct an overbite. But she said her dentist warned her that she'd have to have surgery one day.
The Palin family's lawyer declined to comment to The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Palin said she is pleased with the new look.
"I look older, more mature and don't have as much of a chubby little baby face," she told the magazine.
Palin said she doesn't obsess over her face and would consider plastic surgery only in an extreme situation.
"I wouldn't get plastic surgery unless I got in an accident or something terrible and got disfigured," she said.
Palin will be back on TV by the end of the year, starring in a reality series for the Bio Channel. The as-yet-untitled series will follow her move from Alaska to Los Angeles with her son, Tripp, to work at a small charity. She will live with actor brothers Kyle and Christopher Massey.
Kyle Massey is a fellow "Dancing" contestant and Palin's good friend, the network said.
Palin can also soon add author to her resume.
She signed with William Morrow to publish "Not Afraid of Life," to come out this summer. Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins, has said the memoir would provide "an inside look at her life."
Levi Johnston, the father of her child, also is planning a tell-all book about his tumultuous relationship with the Palin family.
Touchstone Publishing has a fall publication date for Johnston's book, "Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs."

Hydra Facial Treatments By Our Famous Aesthetician

If you wanna look like a celebrity, you have to know their beauty secrets and of course, that's what Deco's here for to spill the beans. Tonight, find out how to get a great celeb-like glow to your skin.

Reported by:
Shireen Sandoval


It purrs like a kitten and feels like a wet kiss. It's called the Hydra-Facial. It's the latest, greatest in skin technology. Deco sniffed it out at Mount Sinai, Miami Beach.

Joanne Stella: "Blackheads, whiteheads, everything you've got, it removes it with suction and serums."

Warning: After you see this you may break up with your facialist, sorry.

Say goodbye to painful, pick-your-pores, steam your face beat red treatments.

Shireen: " It's like little sucking."

"You feel a like a little vaccum on the skin, but you don't feel that aggressive abrasion of the sand or the crystals from the micro dermabrasion."

And hello to...

"Afterward you put your hand over the skin and it's like polish, it's like you've gone thru a carwash so to speak. You polish your skin."

With this machine, the hydra-facial does three things: Cleanses..

"Sometimes i see guys, and they have the blackheads on their noses and i want to squeeze them."

It exfoliates...

"Without the vaccum pressure of the machine, you could never extract all those deep black heads, or oil in the pores, with this device."

And it rejuvenates with anti-oxidents and glycolic acids.

"It's essentially painless. the water pushes out the oil, it gets sucked out, vaccumed out at the same time, after you go thru the first pass of clearing the skin, we then infuse the skin, which we know have been proven to help with rejuvenation."

The Hydra-Facial eliminates face picking, harsh chemicals and post facial break-outs.

Joanne: "Is this something men can benefit from also men love this, love it, because it's painless, men hate pain, they can't take pain."

I even made my photgrapher Alex try it. Sorry about the camera work.

The treatment costs as much as a facial. It's good for all skin types and there's no down-time.

Mini-Plastic Surgery

"Patients frequently come to the office looking for "mini-plastic surgery" like a "mini-facelift" or a "mini-tummy tuck." I believe what they are interested in are fewer and smaller scars. There are specific procedures that have the word "mini" in them and they have very specific indications. For instance, the MACS lift, or Minimum Access Cranial Suspension lift, is a "mini-facelift" especially useful for middle aged women with a moderate amount of submental laxity (turkey gobble) and blunted cervicomental angle. In other words, it's not for everyone. The same goes for the mini-abdominoplasty (mini-tummy tuck). It is a great procedure with very few indications.
Lately, patients have been bombarded by marketing ploys and catch-phrases that claim a great deal but can rarely deliver. An ethical plastic surgeon should be able to discuss all options with patients even if it means having nothing done at all." Dr. Freiman

Breast Augmentation - Saline vs. Silicone

"I'm often asked, "which is better...saline or silicone?" The answer is neither is better. Each has its risks and benefits and there is a correct implant for each person. A great deal goes into the consultation including but not limited to the location of the implant, the feel and look postoperatively, implant placement, the size of the implant, and the patient's anatomy. It is a very personal choice and hopefully after discussing all of the facts, you will decide on the perfect implant for you. I also use the Vectra machine which can help by taking a 3 dimensional picture and simulating what you could look like postoperatively."
