No matter how healthy of a lifestyle you maintain, there is probably some part of your body that you are not quite satisfied with. It happens to all of us: despite our best efforts at dieting and regular exercise, certain parts of the body hold on to fat, stubbornly refusing to reflect the toned, healthy appearance we desire. For men, this typically happens in the abdominal region while women often experience these pockets of stubborn fat in the buttocks, thighs, and hips. Regardless of where your stubborn fat lies, chances are you’re looking for a good opportunity to be rid of […]

In a lot of ways, the most important part of your facelift is the recovery period. It’s during this time that your body has to reconcile with the changes that have occurred, re-establish connections between tissues, and heal the incision site and moved skin and tissues. Knowing what to do – and what not to do – is almost as important as choosing the right surgeon. Before your procedure, your surgeon should explain what you can expect during your recovery and will provide you with strict aftercare instructions that will detail how to wash and dress your incisions over the next […]

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 […]

One of the biggest concerns of any patient considering Botox treatments is looking natural afterwards. While this is a valid concern since we’ve all seen celebrities who have had too much work done, it is not a reason to hold off on a procedure you really want. Instead, do thorough research on your potential cosmetic professional, their previous patients, and their success stories. By familiarizing yourself with their past work, you will have a better idea of what they can accomplish for you. 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. Some women are able to return to work after one […]

The decision to undergo breast implant surgery can be a difficult one, but excellent results can dramatically improve your quality of life. Although choosing the right surgeon is the most important factor, there are several other things to consider when getting implants. Seemingly subtle differences in placement and size can drastically alter your desired look, so it’s important to do your research before committing to any cosmetic procedure. What Size is Best For Me? Voluptuous breasts have become the epitome of ‘beauty’ for women around the world. However, aiming for the biggest breasts possible is a mistake many patients make. Bigger does […]

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 […]
