Anti-aging Cosmetic Surgery: Patient Reflection Eye Nipntuck, Facelift
May 16th, 2012
Yvette writes about her experience (and being a youthful Mother of the Groom):
Just like some of the other guest bloggers, a large part of my initial decision to go with Dr.Bashioum was having the option to use IV sedation available to me instead of general anesthesia. In addition to this, a few of Dr. Bashioum’s staff members were also previous patients of his also had the same surgery I was considering–blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery. It says a lot about a doctor when the staff consists of satisfied patients. Dr. Bashioum also had the “decades†of experience that I was looking for in a surgeon.
The whole experience from consultation to final result was really great. I was treated respectfully, professionally, and compassionately at every step in the process and by every staff member I encountered. I was surprised and pleased by all the complimentary after care as well–I was even given Dr. Bashioum’s home phone number! The experience was so good that I got braver and returned the following year (2011) for a facelift. Once again the whole plastic surgery experience was fantastic.
My son got married this year and all of the out-of-state family members that I hadn’t seen in years, kept saying how I looked the same age as my cousins who are several years younger than I am. I am very happy I did this for myself, and very pleased with the Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center.
Couples Plastic Surgery Increasing Trend
April 30th, 2012
Couples seeking anti-aging rejuvenation and undergoing cosmetic surgery together represents a growing trend. While the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons doesn’t keep specific statistics regarding couples, they confirm that there is anecdotal evidence suggesting that more couples are having cosmetic surgery together. This current trend is consistent with the increase of cosmetic procedures performed on men, who now account for almost 10% of the total.
Last week, John Glionna wrote an article for the Los Angeles Times, where he offers a first-hand account about his own experience with cosmetic surgery. He laments about being prone to having saggy bags under his eyes and his wife bringing it to his attention. Glionna creatively describes these eye bags as “making you look like some punch-drunk boxer who’s gone too many rounds.” It is true that the puffy dark circles can make you look older than your age and appear tired and weary, even when you are well-rested.
Men are usually prompted to consider cosmetic surgery by their wives or when they accompany their wives to her plastic surgeon’s office. This might help to break the ice and for men feel more comfortable to discuss a little nipntuck for themselves. I have seen a gradual increase in men embracing the notion of undergoing cosmetic surgery. Statistics indicate that 23,000 men had eyelid surgeries last year to help shave a few years off of their tired appearance. It is second only to liposuction among popularity with male patients. I have seen a spike in both of these procedures within my own practice.
