An upper arm lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure in which the excess fat and skin in the upper arm area is removed and tightened in order to give a more toned appearance. Saggy skin or drooping fat pockets on the upper arm can play a big role in making you look – and feel – older and less attractive in short-sleeved or sleeveless fashions. With these styles coming back into vogue, many men and women are feeling inspired to achieve toned, youthful looking arms.
In fact, the pressure is so high that upper arm lifts are the fastest growing cosmetic […]

When done well, Botox is impossible to detect. The intention of the injectable isn’t to alter your appearance, but […]
Your hands open doors. They sign your name. They wear your wedding ring. They do a lot in your daily life, including showing the signs of aging. Over time, your hands can become withered and almost transparent exposing your veins. Your hands can appear rough and calloused and brown spots can form leaving you with the hands of, well, an old person.
For baby boomers, the focus tends to be on the face. A little injection here, a lift there, but what about your hands? Besides your face, your hands can also benefit from a rejuvenation procedure.
Look at your hands and […]
Looking at celebrities like Angelina Jolie and most of the Kardashian clan, it’s hard not to covet their lips. How do they do it? It can’t just be good genes. There must be something more.
Fortunately for those born with thin lips, there usually is something more! That “something more” is often Restylane.
Restylane is a product that is used to give you plump, symmetrical and full lips. If your lips are thin or disproportionate, Restylane will give you a plumper pout. It’s a filler like Juvederm – which most people have heard of – that can use to enhance your lips […]
After any procedure, it’s always a good idea to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eating right and exercising are great ways to stay in shape and shave off unwanted pounds. Sometimes life keeps us busy and we aren’t able to stick with our fitness regime, or certain medications we are taking cause us to put on a few pounds. There are so many factors that can cause us to pack on unwanted – or in the case of pregnancy – wanted pounds.
Generally speaking, gaining or losing a few pounds won’t harm your facial injections. If you’ve used facial fillers like Juvederm […]
Most people respond well to breast implants and their bodies often do not encounter any problems. In some very rare cases, difficulties can arise during the healing process following a breast implantation surgery. These issues are easy to spot and, should you find yourself plagued with any of them, it’s important that you contact your plastic surgeon before they escalate.
The short-term recovery period for breast implants is about two weeks. Although each patient differs, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous activity such as exercising and lifting anything above your chest.

Sweating is a natural process within our bodies that helps regulate our temperature. Our nervous systems control this function throughout the day — alerting our bodies to various temperatures. However in some individuals, sweating can become excessive.
This happens when our eccrine glands become over-stimulated. Perspiration becomes noticeably extreme, resulting in socially uncomfortable situations. This condition is known as primary hyperhidrosis, and can occur in a variety of areas — most commonly in the palms and armpits.
The good news, however, is that this condition can be treated! One of the best ways to treat excessive sweating, particularly in the palms, is […]
Many women who have undergone breast augmentation surgery have expressed concern about the effects breast feeding has on implants. They worry that the process will change the appearance of their breasts, which was a major monetary investment.

The study was conducted by the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine in San Juan. Researchers found that there were no health risks to breastfeeding with implants, nor were there any health concerns. Throughout the entire study, there were no disruptions to the breast glands […]
