Nipntuck Established
Having a “nipntuck” has been a beauty concept for a very long time. Once limited to the glamorous Hollywood set during the 40’s and 50’s, this term frequently implied that there had been a surreptitious freshening of a star’s appearance. A popular actor or actress would often return from a little “vacation†to emerge appearing more rested and refreshed. Generally this was attributed to a great spa. Some spa! Everyone now knows these entertainers where having cosmetic surgery and recovering in private. This same reluctance to admit having cosmetic surgery is still prevalent and not just in Hollywood. Even after many cosmetic surgery reality shows and the dramatic series, “Nip/Tuck,” many of my patients are still very private about having any type of cosmetic surgery or cosmetic medicine treatment. Confidentiality is important in maintaining patient trust.
