The Perfect Button Nose – Could Rhinoplasty Help?

May 18th, 2013

Whether you think it’s too big, too bumpy or even too small, your nose is the focal point of your face, and it’s one feature that many American women are dissatisfied with.  Could Rhinoplasty help you to achieve the perfect button nose?

The benefits

Rhinoplasty can offer a number of benefits to those considering plastic surgery for whatever reason, and it’s great if you’re looking to achieve any of the following:

  • Removing bumps or depressions in your nose’s profile
  • Contour the tip of your nose – this could include making it smaller, or fixing an upturned or droopy tip
  • Balance your nose’s size so it complements other facial features
  • Adjust your nostrils by resizing and reshaping
  • Correct an asymmetric nose

Many teenagers experience bullying at school due to a large or imperfect nose, and whilst it’s not a great idea to rush straight out for surgery, if it’s severely affecting your confidence and quality of life, then it is worth making an appointment for a consultation to discuss your options.

Is Rhinoplasty right for me?

In order to be eligible for rhinoplasty you should ideally be at least 13 years old (this is to ensure that your face has finished growing), be healthy and a non-smoker, have realistic goals as to what you can expect to achieve from the surgery, and be able to demonstrate personal reasons for rhinoplasty, rather than succumbing to pressure.

Rhinoplasty can help you to achieve a more contoured nose that matches your facial features, but don’t be under the illusion that you can turn up for plastic surgery with a picture of the type of nose you’d like – this is not how it works!

Keep young and beautiful, if you want to be loved

May 17th, 2013

As the song implies, beauty is synonymous with youth in our modern society.  Never has there been so much pressure on women (and men) to stay young and look beautiful – airbrushed, perfect celebrities gazing out of glossy magazines seem to instill in us the belief that if we have perfect, glowing, wrinkle free skin and white teeth, we too can find love and be happy!

Caring for your appearance

There’s nothing wrong with being well groomed and looking after your appearance – the ritual of grooming and putting on makeup is a confidence booster for many women.  As you grow older, you might be dismayed to discover uneven skin texture, age spots and wrinkles dulling your once perfect complexion.  Why not consider cosmetic surgery in NYC to fix the areas of your appearance that are knocking your confidence?

Stay young forever

Some women shun the idea of cosmetic procedures and expensive creams, preferring to grow old gracefully.  Some are blessed with wrinkle free skin thanks to their genes and complexion.  Let’s face it; there is no such thing as staying young forever.  But you can improve the appearance of your skin by taking advantage of the various treatments available.  Some of the most popular cosmetic procedures on the market include:

  • Botox
  • Filler
  • Chemical, peels
  • Laser treatments
  • Face lifts

Whether you decide to opt for a full-blown facelift or simply erase some of the signs of aging with a few Botox injections, it’s never been easier to boost your confidence and stay young looking for just a little bit longer – but we can’t guarantee it will help you to find love!

Gummy bear breast implants, are you serious?

May 11th, 2013

It’s not what you think – the traditional, yummy little colored bears have nothing to do with the most popular choice for breast augmentation that NY women are raving about. So what exactly are gummy bear breast implants, and are they as sweet as they sound?

The technology

Popular in Europe for the last decade, ‘gummy bear’ implants have been approved by the FDA this year. With breast augmentation the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States, this new innovation is set to take the cosmetic surgery world by storm! The implants are made from silicone gel, but unlike its predecessor, this gel provides a more natural appearance and feel and is much safer than older silicone implants. But why are they called ‘gummy bear’ implants? Well, when the implant’s shell casing is cut, the silicone stays put – in fact the consistency is similar to a gummy bear. Mmmm, yummy!

Dangerous silicone

You can’t avoid the stories of silicone implants rupturing and leaking, and if you’re considering a breast augmentation in NY, you probably have some concerns about the safety of using silicone. Older style silicone implants were filled with silicone that had a runny consistency, which leaked easily if the shell split. These new ‘gummy bear’ implants are safer and have a number of benefits:

  • A natural appearance
  • ‘Shape memory’ – they retain their shape and this reduces the chance for ‘ripples’ to appear
  • Side effects such as scar tissue formation are much less likely with these modern implants
  • Rupturing is unlikely thanks to a sturdier shell – and if the implant does rupture, the gummy texture of the implant holds its shape.

So it seems like gummy bear implants are the next big thing – a great choice whether
you’re a fan of the original sweets or are just looking for perfect, natural looking breasts!

How to choose the best plastic surgeon

May 10th, 2013

When you’re hunting for a plastic surgeon, NYC can be a minefield – it sometimes feels like there are surgeries popping up on every street corner. So how do you know which surgeon is the best and will give you the perfect breasts or cutest button nose? Read on for our handy guide to choosing the best plastic surgeon in NYC.

Visit their website

A website is not necessarily the best way to judge a business, but by visiting the cosmetic surgeon’s website, you have the opportunity to find out some more about the services they offer – many websites also have customer testimonials, so you can see how many others have been satisfied with their procedures. You’ll also be able to read about their training and qualifications, so you can be sure you’re putting your face and body in the hands of an expert.

Make that call

It’s best to call to arrange a consultation – this will give you the opportunity to assess how friendly and professional the clinic is over the phone. Meeting with your surgeon is the perfect time to discuss the type of procedure you’re looking to have, as well as ask them questions and express any concerns or reservations you might have. Don’t be afraid to ask to see before and after pictures of previous patients, as this will help give you an idea what kind of results you can expect.

It’s easy to find a reputable plastic surgeon if you do a little research – if in doubt, make an appointment with a couple of clinics and go with your gut; if a particular clinic is offering discounted deals that seem too good to be true, steer well clear!

Five Steps to Perfect Skin at Any Age

May 3rd, 2013

Every woman wants dewy, glowing, perfect skin. Follow these five simple steps and you’ll be well on your way to achieving it, no matter what your age!

#1. Hydrate. We all know that we should be drinking more water, but how many of us actually do it? Water plumps up our skin, flushes toxins from our system and helps prevent flakiness and dehydration. Top up a sports bottle in the morning and aim to refill it several times during the day – you’ll notice the improvements within just a few days!

#2. Eat brightly colored fruits and vegetables – these contain antioxidants, which are known to protect the skin from the elements; think of them as nature’s ‘anti-aging’ miracle workers

#3. Address your concerns – if you’re noticing wrinkles, dullness or redness that isn’t usually present, why not consider a cosmetic procedure? Cosmetic surgeons can advise which treatment is best for your needs, whether it’s Botox, a chemical peel or laser treatment.

#4. Get enough sleep. It’s recommended we get between 8-10 hours’ sleep a night – realistically, many of us get much less than this. Sleep is the time when your skin rejuvenates and repairs itself, and you’ll notice an instant difference by getting just a couple of extra hours a night!

#5. Tailor your skincare. Have a consultation to find out your skin type and make sure you’re using the right products – those containing natural ingredients are ideal. There’s no point overloading oily skin with rich moisturizer it doesn’t need, and likewise don’t skimp on moisturizing dry, flaky skin.

Follow these simple steps to great skin at any age, and get ready for your close-up!

Five Reasons to Opt for Cosmetic Surgery

May 2nd, 2013

More women across the US are opting for cosmetic procedures than ever before – with beautiful,airbrushed celebrities who seem to stay young forever plastered across every billboard and glossy magazine page, it’s easy to see why. But there are other reasons to opt to enhance your appearance with cosmetic surgery – here are just five.

#1. Improve your confidence

If you’ve been left scarred after an accident or operation, or have simply never liked the bump in your nose, cosmetic surgery could help you to feel prettier and more confident. Many surgeon shave helped people with confidence issues, such as teenagers who have been bullied, and there’s no right or wrong reason to opt for a cosmetic procedure.

#2. Even out your features

We all have features which are slightly uneven – it’s just the way of the world. But beauty is thought to be about symmetry, and it’s said that the most beautiful women are those with symmetrical faces. If having uneven features affects your confidence, why not consider cosmetic surgery to help?

#3. Hold back the years

Enhancing your natural beauty with an anti-ageing procedure is never a bad thing – we all want to grow old gracefully, but that doesn’t mean we need to succumb to saggy, wrinkly skin if it makes us unhappy! Whether you opt for a full facelift or simply some Botox, cosmetic surgery can help.

#4. Improve your skin

If you have rosacea, acne or spider veins, cosmetic procedures can really help to even out and improve your skin tone – you’ll notice a dramatic difference, which will help you to feel more beautiful and confident!

#5. Spend your savings

It might sound silly, but if you have a lot of money put away for a rainy day and feel like you need a boost, then a cosmetic procedure could be the answer. Why not attend a free consultation and chat about the aspects of your appearance you’d like to change?
