Gen X Embraces Cosmetic Surgery
February 14th, 2012
2011 saw an increase in cosmetic surgery in spite of a sagging economy. It’s the Gen X’ers leading the pack in finding solutions for sagging problems of a different sort! According to a study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), adults between the ages of 31 and 45 accounted for almost half of all cosmetic procedures in 2011. This is really nothing new, because while on the surface it looks surprising, this age group regularly accounts for the majority of cosmetic surgery. This is true in my own practice. Baby boomers (now ages 51-64) have already chosen to have surgery in their late 30’s and mid 40’s, as Gen X is doing currently. Baby boomers accounted for just 28% of the procedures last year, perhaps simply relying on less extensive procedures to serve as tune-ups for previous surgery.
Nipntuck Natural Fatjuvenation
November 28th, 2011
Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢ facial rejuvenation uses your own fat instead of temporary manmade fillers such as Restylane ®, Juvederm ®, or Radiesse ®. Your body absorbs these manufactured fillers over time, losing their effectiveness. The temporary fillers need to be replenished every six to twelve months in order to maintain the desired result. They also run the risk of subcutaneous scarring as a result of biofilm-type infections.
As your face ages, fat is lost from the face and the skin begins to sag, creating that tired and aged look. Loss of this supple layer results in a reduction of cheek prominence, accentuated bags beneath the eyes, and wrinkles. Your own fat offers the potential permanent filler for correcting these facial changes. Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢ rejuvenation gently harvests fat for this procedure. It is then transferred as a living graft, by customized injections to sculpt a more youthful face. This new technique allows for a permanent natural correction to be achieved. The overlying skin slowly takes on a more youthful appearance, as the transferred properties in the fat are incorporated into the surrounding tissues. This innovative technology is making natural anti-aging facial rejuvenation an attractive new choice for my patients.
