Laser Skin Resurfacing and Dermal Fillers Top Procedures in 2012

Breast augmentation and liposuction have long been the leaders in cosmetic and plastic surgery, now surgeons are predicting that three new procedures will be front-runners, including: laser skin resurfacing, mommy makeovers (which include breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck), and dermal fillers and injectables.

What is Restylane?

Keeping up with Nature

As we age, our body produces less Hyaluronic acid. This natural substance is responsible for cushioning our joints and giving elasticity to our skin. So, when the body is not able to produce it, naturally – we can give it a little ‘assistance’, with Restylane. Restylane was the first FDA approved Hyaluronic acid-based sub dermal filler in the U.S. It fills wrinkles, scars, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and adds elasticity to the skin. If you would like to restore your skin’s natural contours and elasticity, talk to your dermatologist, or find a cosmetic surgeon in your area that specializes in dermall fillers.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall …

Is It Time To Contact a Cosmetic Surgeon?

The mirror can be our friend or foe, depending on the day. Everyone has bad days, bad hair days, dark circle days, bloated days, and days when wrinkles seem more pronounced, but if your issues facing the mirror become persistent, then it may be time for a touch up procedure or cosmetic surgery. Do an honest self-assessment to determine the things that really bother you, without being overly critical, then consider calling a cosmetic or plastic surgeon to get a second opinion.

Parentheses Should be Around a Sentence…Not our Faces.

Fill 'Er Up!

Sometimes the lines around our mouths look like parenthesis when we smile or laugh. These punctuation marks are known as nasal labia folds, and they deepen as we age. Dermal fillers can be injected into these creases to make them disappear. Just fill ‘em up, then go ahead and laugh.
