Plastic surgery has seen a dip in the number of patients undergoing procedures; however, the recent economical improvement has contributed to an increase in interest again. Over the past decade, a 77 percent increase in the number of patients has been seen in a recent study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Throughout the financial crisis present in the country, it is not surprising to see a decrease of invasive procedures, while non-surgical treatments continue to draw in patients.

Breast augmentation surgery has gone up 39 percent over the past 10 years; however, it appears that nose reshaping has gone down 35 percent and liposuction by 43 percent. This may be partially caused by the increase in non-invasive procedures such as Botox injections, facial fillers, and laser skin resurfacing. A reduced recovery period and lowered cost highly influenced patients in choosing which procedure(s) to undergo during an economical low point. If you are interested in a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure, surgical or non-surgical, it is highly recommended that you speak with a qualified and trained professional.

Undergoing a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure is a personal decision that should be carefully thought out and researched. For many women, there are various factors that play into their resolution of going forward with a particular procedure or combination of procedures. According to a recent article, the following seven reasons for undergoing plastic surgery are:

• Complex psychological motivations – Some physical ‘flaws’ may be of great hindrance on a person’s mental and physical quality of life.
• Feel better about yourself – Patients may feel they have low self-esteem and an enhancement may boost their confidence.
• Post-pregnancy – Women are often left with sagging breasts and a protruding abdomen after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Physical changes – Massive weight loss may result in areas of excess skin that can be unpleasant for the patient.
• Aging – Natural aging can often produce fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and other unwanted features.
• Change elements you dislike – Nasal procedures can help reshape the nose; patients often express that they have been unhappy with their nose for many years.
• Improve a tired look – Sagging eyelids, a drooping forehead, and lines around the eyes can cause a tired appearance no matter how much rest a patient gets.

In order to determine if you are an ideal candidate for cosmetic plastic surgery, it is important to meet with a qualified surgeon. Those in the Vero area interested in tummy tuck surgery, breast augmentation, or rhinoplasty may wish contact Dr. Roxanne J. Guy in Melbourne.

Have you suffered a nose injury and are now left with an unpleasant appearance? Due to improper healing and scar tissue, the nasal structure is often left with tell-tale signs of damage. In some circumstances, the internal makeup is also harmed and may cause breathing difficulties. Therefore, to correct these unwanted features, many individuals opt to undergo nose surgery, or “rhinoplasty.”

Some of the common characteristics related to nose trauma include scar tissue formation and crooked bone healing. When undergoing reconstructive nose surgery, a qualified and trained facial plastic surgeon can remove excess tissue, realign the nasal bone structure, and produce a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition, breathing problems due to a deviated septum may be corrected. Based on the severity of the damage and patient’s anatomy, this procedure may be performed through the open or closed technique. In the open nasal surgery, an incision is made along the columella, which is in the middle of the nostrils; the surgeon will have better visibility and more room to work in through this method. A closed rhinoplasty is performed through incisions made inside the nostrils. Scarring is minimal and almost invisible with either incision type.

To learn more about your options in nose surgery, you may wish to contact Beverly Hills surgeon Robert Kotler. During a consultation, he can help you decide which techniques will best provide you with better function and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Young girls are often influenced by the teen queens of television, movies, and music. So when they see their favorite actress dress a certain way it is no surprise that they immediately look for similar fashions. However, when they hear that their role models are going under the knife to enhance their appearance, teens seem to be opposed to the star’s decision. Most recently, Heidi Montag, star of “The Hills,” was a big upset to her young fans; Disney star Ashley Tisdale was also scrutinized for her surgery.

Although these stars are said to be a sort of example for their adoring fans, when it comes to plastic surgery, teens seem to getting smarter. Some state that they find their procedures unnecessary and make them look too plastic – more so in Montag’s case, who underwent facial surgery, breast augmentation, liposuction, and rhinoplasty. Tisdale addressed the surgery rumors by explaining that she had a deviated septum and therefore chose to correct the issue with nose surgery; this made more sense to her teen fans. Young girls are becoming more aware of plastic surgery at an early age and becoming educated on what looks natural and what looks fake – something that many stars may not be doing.

As one of the most prominent features of the face, the nose is often the target of frequent criticism. This leads many individuals to a plastic surgeon. The most common enhancements include reducing the appearance of a hump/bump on the bridge, change in nostril size, and angle of the tip. Although nose surgery may seem simple, it is an invasive procedure that requires the expertise of a rhinoplasty specialist.

When undergoing rhinoplasty, it is important to learn of the risks and potential complications, as well as research the surgeon’s credentials. Because the nose has a delicate structure, the doctor’s experience is crucial, otherwise, patients are left with unpleasant results. Should the patient have an unsatisfactory outcome, a revision rhinoplasty may be necessary. Some of the most common reasons to undergo a secondary procedure include asymmetry, bumps or indentations, pinched tip, breathing difficulties, and weak nasal structure. If the primary rhinoplasty procedure was performed with the closed technique, a revisional surgery would require an open technique. This provides the surgeon with better visibility and more room to work with during the procedure.

Those in need of revision rhinoplasty surgery are urged to seek the assistance of a specially trained plastic surgeon. In Beverly Hills, Robert Kotler, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a highly qualified nose surgery professional. To learn more regarding this procedure, you may browse his website.
