Men and cosmetology:

Once considered a women’s forte, now the relation between men and cosmetology has become official.

Though 87 percent of all cosmetic surgery patients are women, 1.2 million procedures were performed on men in 2004, which is 16 percent increase since 2000, according to a research last year.

Men are getting increasingly conscious about their health & this has led to an escalating increase in cosmetic surgery to bring out the changes desired.

The top five male cosmetic surgeries in 2004 were nose reshaping, hair transplantation, eyelid surgery, liposuction and breast reduction. When it comes to minimally invasive procedures, men - like women - choose Botox injections, as well as chemical peels, collagen injections and microdermabrasion.

While the stability of cosmetic surgery lures many men to enrich their image, offering them a fresh look that may benefit their lifestyle and meet their goals.

It is the craving to retain a juvenile look in today's spirited work world that coerces many men to the Plastic Surgery Institute of California at Beverly Hills & Los Angeles, under the advice and guidance of experts in the field of cosmetology.

Botox & Men:

Botox is a simple & non-surgical method used to reduce lines over the face.

Botox, the brand name for botulinum toxin type A, was the most common non surgical cosmetic procedure for men in 2005 and 2006, according to a recent research. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Botox is used to paralyze some of the muscles of facial expression, which results in less obvious lines and wrinkles. Botox treatments are mostly used in the area between the eyebrows to reduce frowning on the sides of the lower eyelids, to reduce crow's feet, the depressors of the lower lip, and the neck muscle bands.

Men tend to be very private when they have any kind of cosmetic work done. Botox is a swift and speedy process, without any divulging signs. Botox demands new treatments every 4 to 6 months, before the earlier injection results fade out.

With more men becoming conscious about their health, Botox is just an extension of health and wellness.

Men under the knife:

Pectoral implants for men refer to the procedure to augment the form and size of the pectoral muscles, created by the results of heavy pectoral exercises. Pectoral implants procedure gives men an option to visually augment an area of the body through surgery when other alternatives fail.

Men who strive exercising, but cannot achieve the desired results often turn to Pectoral implant surgery as an alternative. The surgery can give the existing muscles a toned, enhanced look. For patients with congenital defects or loss of muscle in an accident or injury, the pectoral implant procedure can often reproduce a natural, even and symmetrical chest area.

Pectoral implant surgery usually takes between one and two hours to complete. Doctors most often begin pectoral implant surgery by making a small incision in the armpit, and then insert the implant endoscopically. After incision, the surgeon places the implants under the pectoral muscle. The incisions are then sutured and the surgery is complete. The implants are held in place by the overlying chest muscle or by sutures that are temporarily visible through the skin. A circular elastic bandage is placed around the chest for about one week, and then physical exercise is permitted progressively.

Pectoral implants can help to build aplomb in individuals who once were mortified by their facade.

Ear correction:

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is typically done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to moderate the size of large ears. Few unfortunate people grow up with prominent ears, receiving teases and scoffs.

In order to avoid this, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California suggests ear correction surgery, preferably when the child is between ages four to 5 years. Ear surgery, by and large takes about two to three hours. However, complicated procedures may take longer. The problem determines the duration of the operation.

There are two ways that cosmetic surgeons go about this surgical procedure. With one of the more common techniques, the surgeon makes a small incision in the back of the ear to expose the ear cartilage. He will then sculpt the cartilage and bend it back toward the head. Non-removable stitches may be used to help maintain the new shape. Occasionally, the surgeon will remove a larger piece of cartilage to provide a more natural-looking fold when the surgery is complete.

Another technique involves a similar incision in the back of the ear. Skin is removed and stitches are used to fold the cartilage back on itself to reshape the ear without removing cartilage.

Ear correction surgery will leave a faint scar in the back of the ear that will fade with time. Even when only one ear appears to protrude, surgery is usually performed on both ears for a better balance.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California helps you build a positive approach towards the surgery. At our advanced surgical institute, we have the best plastic surgeons in the industry at are work centers located at Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.

AGE, NOW REVERSIBLE!

“I want to die young at a ripe old age”- if this is the passion you share; a face lift is the keyword for you.

We all know aging is an irreversible process. Genetics, hormones, skin types and texture, over exposure to the sun, diet and general health, etc. effect aging. With aging, the elastic tissue of the skin weakens and lines deepen around the mouth and between the eyebrows. Wrinkles take place of the earlier tight & fresh skin. The sagging eye brows & drooping eyelids start defining your age.

A facelift surgery can shed 5-10 years in your life.

The facelift is becoming one of the most popular facial rejuvenation procedures requested. The facelift is inspired by the idea of removing the excess skin that is loose and sagging on the face and the neck, plus to tighten the underlying tissue. The excess skin that is removed never returns, which inturn keeps you looking younger for a longtime. However the skin continues to age but this sagging skin can be controlled with a minor tuck-up procedure.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we can produce beautiful, natural-looking results. With meticulous attention to tightening and repositioning muscle and skin, in addition to sculpting and repositioning facial fat, our cosmetic surgeons create a rested, youthful, long-lasting natural-looking result.
