Cosmetic surgery has seen a definite trend in recent years toward less invasive procedures. Nevertheless, most patients still want dramatic results. Enter the mini facelift. You may have heard it referred to as a Weekend Facelift, Quicklift, Quick Facelift, Lifestyle Lift, Lifestyle Facelift or Short Scar Facelift, but they are all variations on the basic technique of the mini facelift. The mini facelift is an excellent procedure for individuals who are seeking long-lasting and dramatic improvement of mild to moderate sagging and/or jowling in the lower face and/or neck without having to undergo a more extensive traditional facelift. General anesthesia is not necessary and the procedure takes just one to three hours to complete. Small incisions are strategically placed around the ear lobe and mid-ear so that the resulting scars are virtually undetectable, even with the hair worn up and off the face! Working through the incisions, the underlying connective tissue and facial musculature are lifted and tightened to provide immediate and long-lasting improvement in the jaw line and upper neck. For many patients, one of the most appealing aspects of the mini facelift is the quicker, gentler recovery. Side effects like discomfort and swelling are typically minor and fade within a few days, and most patients find that they can return to work within three to four days, if not sooner. At Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Chernoff and his associates are experienced in all mini facelift techniques and will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan to help you achieve the more youthful, rejuvenated look you desire. It was not very long ago when criticism was heavy with cosmetic surgery. Some still hold strong convictions towards those who choose to have procedures done that enhance their physical appearance. However, today we live in a more liberal society and what was once referred to as "plastic surgery" is fortunately more socially acceptable. Reasons For Criticism Cosmetic Surgery Is Becoming More Socially Acceptable Where moral matters are concerned, it seems more people are starting to take the view that having cosmetic surgery really is not a moral or religious matter. After all, we do not take our bodies with us when we die. As our belief systems change with time, more and more people are starting to understand how short life really is and it is more common now for the older generation to want to feel and look young as they age. While cosmetic surgery cannot solve certain emotional issues, having such procedures performed can enhance self-esteem and help people to age more gracefully. If done with healthy motives, cosmetic surgery can help people to feel young and energetic. Cosmetic procedures are not just for the aging. It has become very common for the younger generation to have cosmetic surgery as well. People have different reasons for their decision to have enhancing surgery, but the point is, everyone has the right to make such a decision. If it helps to correct a flaw or helps them more comfortable in their own skin, each person should be able to make this choice without scrutiny. Everyone knows that Botox is effective in minimizing facial wrinkles, and can help minimize extreme sweating. However, many people are not aware of the fact that this multi-use injection can do so much more than that. Here are five additional functions of Botox that are not well known.

A new study suggests that women who have their breasts reduced after their weight loss are more likely to be happy with their results. Of course, this doesn’t mean that all women should or must wait for a breast reduction. In fact, large breasts can cause pain and even make it hard to exercise. However, the chances are much higher for disappointment in shape and size of the reduced breasts once a woman reaches their ideal weight. In a recent study, more than a third of the women who had their breast reduced prior to weight loss were unhappy with the final result. Half of the women planned to undergo a breast augmentation to find their perfect breast size and shape to suit their new bodies. Many more said they would if it was covered by insurance. A third of the women who did not opt for a breast reduction before weight loss were unhappy with their overly large breast and half of the women said they were planning on having a breast reduction, while others said they would if they could afford it. The general consensus is that you’re most likely better off with a breast reduction after weight loss, though some women were perfectly happy with their breasts before and after. It truly varies from patient to patient and must be talked about extensively with their doctor so that the best option can be ascertained. To your health and beauty, |
