Top 5 Cosmetic Procedures Hollywood Stars Have

Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeries of Hollywood Stars

Hollywood Celebs have many cosmetic Procedures.
Hollywood Celebs have many cosmetic Procedures.
How do celebrities look ever so flawless on the big screen? Aren’t they worried about their acne or wrinkles showing up as their faces appear ten times larger on the cinema screens and home theatres while the audience whispers, “Ooh…look at that nasty thing on her face,” or “She looks old!” We grew up watching some of these actors/actresses on screen and yet they don’t appear to have changed at all, how is that possible?

Well, these actresses not only apply a lot of make-up but many have also had many cosmetic procedures done on them so as to appear flawless and enchanting on the screen. Some of the most cosmetic procedures the stars have had done on themselves are listed below.

1. Liposuction
While watching movies, everyone thinks, ‘Wow, she has such skinny legs, wish I was this thin too.’ Well, this fantasy can come true by a simple and widely used cosmetic procedure called liposuction. In this procedure a vacuum is inserted into the fattened area to suck out the extra deposits of fat. The two most used types of liposuction are:

• Ultrasonic Liposuction (uses sound waves to liquefy fat before suction) and
• Tumescent liposuction (uses tumescent anesthesia in liposuction to liquefy fat).

2. Mammoplasty:
Mammoplasty, which is a different procedure involving breast augmentation, is the second most popular cosmetic procedure. Surgical procedures like breast enlargement, enhancement, reduction, reshaping, mastectomy and mastopexy come under this term. The most famous among these procedures is breast enlargement. In this procedure, an implant is inserted to make the women a little more chesty. There are two types of implants for breast enlargement; saline filled implants and silicone gel filled implants.

3. Rhinoplasty:
Rhinoplasty, aka, nose jobs are the most common types of cosmetic procedures the celebrities have had. For a nose job, the surgeon will remodel the bone and cartilage of the nose. There are two types of rhinoplasty; open and closed. In an open rhinoplasty, a small slit is made at the nose’s base, near the skin which meets the nostrils. In closed rhinoplasty, there is no need for any cuts or incisions.

4. Botox Injections:
No one wants to get old, especially Hollywood stars. Hence, they fight their aging with Botox injections. The Botox procedure is a very clear, physical process in which anti-aging cosmetics are administered by the physicians to the individuals, and these individuals are then injected in the effected or treated area with purified proteins. This helps in eliminating or reducing the wrinkles and furrows on the face which usually come due to growing old or excess facial movements.

5. Cosmetic Dentistry:
Beatifying ones smile (reshaping gums and teeth and whitening of teeth) is known as cosmetic dentistry. This procedure is also fairly popular among the stars. The latest innovation in the tooth whitening scheme would be the Britesmile procedure. The procedure was made by cosmetic dentists in the Beverly Hills. In this procedure, a whitening gel is applied on one’s teeth and after the gel sets, a blue light is shone upon them. The whole procedure takes around an hour to complete. The American Dental Association states that this procedure is one of the simplest and the gentlest tooth whitening systems and its effects last longer than any other procedure.

Hollywood celebrities are not only famous for the movies they star in they are famous for all the cosmetic procedures they have. The celebrities show us we can look just as good as they do and truth be told nothing is stopping us regular people from having a cosmetic procedure to look and feel great – just like the stars do.

An overview: What are Dermal Fillers ?

About dermal fillers

Dermal Fillers
Botox can smooth wrinkles out.
Dermal fillers are substances that are injectable and used to help in plumping and firming up aging skin. Dermal fillers are also used for smoothing wrinkles and filling in facial lines. They correct the recessed scars and give your face the desired rejuvenation. They are most commonly used for the plumping of the lips and to take away those creases that may be present in the eyebrow area. Such injections are the best alternative to facelifts for patients who desire a fresher and younger look but do not want to meet the costs as well as the time required to recover from the surgical procedures

What are the reasons for getting them?
When we are getting older, there are things that affect how we age and how we look, including:
• exposure to the sun
• diet
• genetics
• gravity

These things take their toll on us and over time it begins to show well on our faces. The fat, elastic, and collagen in our faces break down making our faces become tired looking and possible gaunt. Wrinkles slowly start to appear in some areas, especially the expression muscle areas. The nasolabial area is most affected, running from the mouth corners up to our chines. Wrinkles in between the eyebrows are also quite common.

Fillers help in “filling” in the sunken and creased areas to make your face look youthful and energized. The results that the fillers help us achieve aren’t permanent, and if you don’t feel they work for you, you just stop the treatment. For people who want to get a younger look without surgery, this is the right solution for you.

The kinds of dermal fillers available
Different dermal fillers have different ingredients. A surgeon is the best person to help in the selection process, as they know how each works and the look that will be achieved. The types of dermal fillers that are most common include, hyaluronic acid, collagen and fat. Each of these is adequate for a year or so, after which you will need to go back for treatment.

Human Fat – Fat Transfer
Human fat can sometimes be used in such filler injections and it is analogous as it comes from your body. The surgeon takes fat from areas like the thighs or abdomen and then cleans it so as to inject it to the spots that you want on the face. The choice is a good one if you have some severe allergies. There is no way that your body can react to its own tissues. The body reabsorbs a percentage of the fat injected meaning that the injection site has to be overfilled initially. The area injected may look a bit swollen for some days until the excess fat is reabsorbed.

Collagen
This is the protein present in different cow products as well as the skin of humans. It can be used for the purposes of plumping up the lips. This can also be applied on moderate face creases so as to counteract the way they look. This is an excellent option for the people who want to maintain the appearance especially after facelifts and other facial surgeries.

Hyaluronic Acid
This is a substance that occurs naturally in humans in the connective tissues and on the eye area. When injected, it inflates tissues and draws water to the skin surface making you look younger.

Skin Tightening Laser Treatment- a Non-Surgical Method for Younger Looking Skin

As we age our skin gradually loses its elasticity and no matter how hard we work out or try to stay fit our skin weakens. A few years ago surgical liposuction and plastic surgeries were the only viable solutions to tighten up loose or sagging skin. But now, due to new scientific innovations and technical advancements, a non surgical alternative was discovered. A Skin Tightening Laser Treatment regiment was tested and approved for use on patients.

What is a Skin Tightening Laser?
A skin tightening laser is a device which uses an Infrared beam to tighten the skin by heating up the collagen protein which lies deep within the skin near the dermis. The protein is heated up to a certain temperature and starts to thicken and contract. The skin responds to the burn wounds and stimulates the growth of new cells which then replace the damaged cells.

The laser can be used on any part of the body and the patient does not have to have any “downtime” after receiving treatment from it. The treatment procedure will take 3-4 months with a laser treatment after every 2-4 week intervals.

Because of the growth stimulation of new collagen, a visibly faster result is seen in the patients’ skin and the patient experiences a smoother and softer feel to their skin which radiates a more youthful impression.

Laser Skin tightening
Laser Treatments for Younger Skin

Preparations before sessions
The patient is advised to apply sun-block and keep away from direct sunlight 3-4 weeks before the laser treatment sessions. The practitioner will also advise you to stop tretinoin-treatments a week before the sessions.

What happens during a laser skin tightening session?
Before the session, the patient has to remove all types of make-up applications from their skin. The practitioner will then apply an anesthetic ointment on the to-be treated area. For those who cannot stand the mild discomfort, they can take pain medications prior the session.

Only highly trained professionals may use and operate the skin laser hand-piece. The practitioner will use the hand-piece to apply brief laser energy pulses to the patient’s skin. The hand-piece will also shoot out continuous bursts of cool air onto the skin to ease the burning sensation. Most laser systems will have the practitioner go through the treated area three times to achieve the most optimum results. A normal session will last from 30 minutes to an hour which depends on the size and area of the treated skin.

There is no downtime after the sessions and the patient can return to their daily lives right after the treatment.

After the Laser sessions
An immediate change in their skin will be experienced by the patient after the treatment. The patients may feel some discomfort like a burning sensation, tightened skin or red skin which will go away within 48 hours after the treatment. A full skin renewal will be experienced after 90 to 180 days of treatment. The skin will stay in this state for 1 or 2 years. This can be prolonged if one avoids going out in the sun and uses high SPF sun blocks if a need does arise to go outside.

Some rare complications after the sessions
• Bruising
• Blisters
• Swelling on the treated area
• Skin Redness and
• Pigmentation on the treated area

Enhance Your Beauty with Photofacial Treatments

What is meant by “Photo-facial”?

Photofacial Can Make You Look Younger
Photofacial Can Make You Look Younger
Photo-facial or Photo-rejuvenation is a skin treatment procedure which uses intense pulsed lights, lasers or any other light-based tech.

Photo-facials are used in a number of ways. It’s most common uses are in curing and boosting collagen proteins, healing brown spots, treating broken calipers and reducing or eliminating acne.
Nowadays, there are two types of technologies used mainly for photo-facials.

They are:
• IPL (intense pulsed light) Photo-facial and
• LED (light emitting diode) Photo-facial.

1. IPL (intense pulsed light) Photo-facial:
IPL Photo-facials are said to be the best age reducing non-surgical treatment available in the dermatological faculty. In this procedure, high energy light beams are utilized in treating a great variety of different skin conditions. It is mainly used in treating scar marks, broken calipers, spider veins, birth marks, freckles, sun burns and even facial redness due to Rosacea.

The final result of this treatment is that the patient’s skin looks younger and rejuvenated. The whole process is claimed to take around 30 minutes in which the laser penetrates deep into the skin and causes the blood vessels and collagen under the epidermis to contract, which reduces the skin’s redness and aging. The cells which are broken down, may burn and turn brown after the procedure, but they eventually flake off from the skin.

The intense pulsed light may cause fibroblast cells to produce more collagen. The boosted collagen will make the skin look younger and tighter.

Even so, this procedure does come with its discomforts. The patients may experience a light burn on their skin which is most likely like a normal sun burn. The skin may swell up, look flushed, and may even have a slight burning sensation.

For optimum results, the treatment is to be carried out for 2-3 months on regular 1-2 week intervals.

2. LED (light emitting diode) Photo-facial:
The second most popular Photo-facial involves LED technology which is the simpler and harmless counterpart of the IPL Photo-facial. The LED Photo-facial uses a narrow beam of infrared and red lights which will not at all irritate the patient’s skin. The Blue LED light treatment is used to eliminate the bacteria which cause acne on the face. The red and infrared light is used in the same way IPL lasers are used, i.e. the light is capable of penetrating deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production which makes the skin more elastic and reduces wrinkles on one’s skin.

This Photo-facial is cool and relaxing while also carrying no risks of skin burning, irritation or swelling. The best results can be seen after a proper series of Photo-facial sessions. These sessions consist of about 6 treatments with 1-2 week intervals in between them. This type of Photo-facial is usually found in day spas and common skin care salons.

Conclusion:
Both the facials are non-surgical skin treatments which offer immediate results to its patients. Both the facials have their good and bad points and one must consider carefully before having either of them done and only have them done by a professional practitioner.

General Dermatology – Skin Doctors

An Insight about General Dermatology

Dermatology

Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies and comprises about 16% of the total weight of the body. Healthy skin, healthy hair and nails are also a good sign that you have a healthy body.

Dermatology and Dermatologists
Dermatology is a branch of medical science which deals with the treatment of skin, hair and nail diseases. Dermatologists treat dermatological problems both medically and surgically.

Ailments and diseases like acne, sun burns, blemishes, black spots, rashes, skin cancer, hair loss, bald patches, etc., can be cured by dermatologists. On average, a dermatologist can identify and prescribe medication for over 3,000 different skin, hair and nail ailments. But even so, not all dermatologists specialize entirely in the vast field.

There are three major types in the field. They are:
• Cosmetic Dermatology
• Medical Dermatology and
• Surgical dermatology

Cosmetic Dermatology usually focuses the aesthetic side of the skin. It does not dig deep into medical reasons and irregularities, however it only takes into account how the skin looks. Patients usually consult Cosmetic Dermatologists to cure and get rid of unappealing blemishes, rashes, un-even skin tones, anti-aging procedures or sun burns.

Medical Dermatology usually takes medical conditions of the skin, like skin cancer, into consideration. It is the total opposite of cosmetic dermatology, as skin appearance plays a very small role in its diagnosis. Medical Dermatologists usually take up, diagnose, and treat more severe skin ailments, like infectious rashes and severe sun burns. They also treat lupus, skin cancer, or melanoma.

skin-anatomy-dermatologist

Surgical dermatology, just like its name suggests, refers to the treatment of skin, hair and nail ailments, using surgical methods and procedures. Surgical dermatology sometimes overlaps cosmetic dermatology, as some surgeries are for cosmetic purposes, like facelifts. Such procedures can be done by specialized dermatologists.

Even if cosmetic dermatology, medical dermatology, and surgical dermatology, are definite in their own terms, they also overlap often to provide a mixed treatment to respective patients.

Why do we need a Dermatologist?
There are some skin hair and nail ailments which cannot be cured by home remedies. Some skin diseases are such that they need to be diagnosed and treated beforehand, like skin cancer, before it reaches its worst stages and becomes incurable. Diagnosis and cure depends on the magnitude of the ailment and may vary from simple remedies to complex surgical procedures.

General Dermatology
Many hospitals offer general dermatology services to its patients and use the latest technology and systems for its diagnosis. General dermatology usually deals with simple skin ailments like, discoloration of the skin, pigmentation of the skin, cysts, burn marks and burned skin, blistered skin, white marks on nails, hair loss and other simple ailments.

But the diagnostic field may include medical dermatological ailments like skin cancer, Eczema, melanoma and other disorders. Some of these disorders are diseases are listed below:

• Acne
• Hair loss
• Actinic Keratosis
• Psoriasis
• Roseaca
• Eczema
• Moles
• Skin Infection
• Rashes
• Cancer treatment and screening
• Hives
• Age spots
• Warts

Why Should Your Plastic Surgeon Be Board-Certified?

If you are considering the option of undergoing a surgical procedure you need to be prepared for a number of things. It’s very important to thoroughly research the doctor and facility because your personal safety is important. When looking for a plastic surgeon, you should find one with a board-certification. The certification should be provided by ABMS, which is the American Board of Medical Specialties.

American Board of Medical Specialties

American Board of Medical Specialties
American Board of Medical Specialties
The American Board of Medical Specialties was established in 1933. It is a non-profit organization. The primary function of the board is to develop, and also implement certain educational, and professional standards. All physician specialists should be evaluated and certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties.

How a plastic surgeon may get the general certificate?
The road to obtaining the certificate is often long, and the entire process requires several parts, and those are:

  • The student first must complete medical school.
  • After graduation an internship is required to be completed.
  • Enroll in a residency specialty training program which lasts 6 years or more.
  • The surgeon has to pass board certification exams in order to be awarded the certificate.
Royalty Surgical Center - Pomona CA
Board Certified Plastic Surgeons

Certification for plastic surgeons in the United States
The certification, which your plastic surgeon should have, must be issued by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The cosmetic surgeries and plastic surgeries are both included.

When looking for a plastic surgeon, you should make sure they are properly credentialed and recognized by American Board of Plastic Surgery. As you were able to see, there are certain steps required for each surgeon, to get the certificate by the board. On the other hand, when it comes to other boards, being a member does not mean the cosmetic or plastic surgeon had proper training, internship and exams.

Bottom line
When searching for a surgeon, for a plastic or cosmetic surgery, he or she should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It means the surgeon went through all the steps, such as proper medical school, an internship, the residency specialty training program, and passed required exams.

As a board which is legitimately recognized, a certification provided to the surgeon is in a way a safety precaution for the patient. This does not assure you that the surgeon is the best in the world but it does assure the doctor has the core competencies to perform plastic surgery. For all these reasons, certification provided by the American Board of Plastic Surgery absolutely must be taken into the account. Moreover, it should be on the top of the criteria list.

Weight Loss with Laparoscopic Gastric Banding

Losing weight sometimes sounds a lot easier than it actually is. It requires a lot of work and effort, and some very big changes in lifestyle. Even then, people who carry some extra body weight, will definitely need some encouragement. Still losing weight is such a hard task that sometimes it comes to a surgical option. One of the surgical options is Laparoscopic Gastric Banding.

Royalty Surgical Center - Pomona, CA
Laparoscopic Gastric Banding is a proven weight loss method.

What is Laparoscopic Gastric Banding?
The Laparoscopic Gastric Banding is a surgical procedure. This procedure is meant to help with losing weight by limiting the amount food a person can consume. This is a surgical procedure and it’s recommended a patient consult with a qualified doctor about your individual circumstances because the procedure is not recommended for everyone. It is one of the last options for those who have been severely obese for many years. Typically the patients have been obese for more than five years.

If the person struggles with severe obesity it truly inhibits a full vibrant life. If the person is not able to lose any weight with regular workouts and diets, then the suggested solution often is, the Laparoscopic Gastric Banding. The surgery focuses around the upper area of the stomach. The surgeon will place a band, to make a tiny pouch, in order to hold the food. Because of the band, the patient won’t be able to eat as much as before, and he or she will feel full with smaller portions of food. The surgery itself is painless, because it is performed under the general anesthesia.

Are there any risks with Laparoscopic Gastric Banding?
There is no such a thing as a risk-free surgery, no matter how minor it is. When it comes to Laparoscopic Gastric Banding, there are several risks, like with any other surgery.

Those risks are:

  • Stroke or heart attack during the procedure, or after the procedure
  • Different infections
  • Loss of blood
  • Blood clots

Your chosen doctor can discuss the specifics pertaining to your case.

Preparation
In order to prepare for the Laparoscopic Gastric Banding, the patient will have to go to proper classes, in order to learn more about the procedure, and the lifestyle which certainly changes after the surgery. Moreover, experts will evaluate the mental condition of the patient, if he or she is ready for this step, and this type of the procedure. Certain physical exams are required, as well as nutritional counseling. If the patient is addicted to drugs or alcohol, the procedure won’t be possible. It is very important for the patient, to carefully follow all the advice and the steps provided by doctors and other medical staff.

Benefits of the procedure
The main benefit of course, is losing weight. With the weight loss, other benefits are: reduced blood pressure, sleep apnea issues, asthma attacks, type 2 diabetes, etc. The patient will start to feel the improvements soon after the surgery.

The life changing procedure
The most important thing every patient must understand, is that this type of surgery is not some kind of quick solution or fix for the obesity. Yes, it will help you to lose weight, but this surgery also represents a complete lifestyle change. Things such as proper diet and nutrition, regular workouts, and many other things must be included. If the patient does not change their habits, and behave according to the guidelines, certain complications are possible. On the other hand, if the patient eats properly, and exercise as well, the results will be amazing.

With depilation, the hair will be removed from the area, but only from the surface of the skin. The root of the hair will not be removed. The depilation method removed the hair temporarily. The other type of hair removal is called epilation. Epilation is when both, the hair and the root are removed. There are several epliation methods and they are: sugaring, waxing, tweezing, usage of epilators, etc.

The most efficient method – laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is considered as one of the best options to remove the hair. It’s a popular method of hair removal for one reason. Laser treatment removes the hair for a significantly longer period of time than other methods. Patients usually agree that the results are very pleasing.

The treatment of hair removal with a laser involves exposure to the light waves, and each light wave will treat not one, but several hairs. The duration of the treatment depends on the area. For example, if you want to remove the hair from your chin, the treatment may last for half an hour. If you want to remove the hair from the area above your upper lip, the treatment may last for only a minute.

Lasers are used for hair removal in many different areas, such as:

  • Facial area
  • Arms
  • Underarm areas
  • Legs
  • Bikini line
    • Preparation of the treatment and the benefits of laser hair removal
      Even though this treatment is not as complex as some other cosmetic treatments, you should give your best when it comes to preparation, and you should find an expert in the area. When the job is done by a professional, the results will be outstanding.

10 Most Common Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Cosmetic Surgery is Becoming the Norm

Mankind as of this decade, openly welcomes new ideas or even older ones. Before, people were not at all in favor of having any kind of cosmetic surgery, as they proclaimed that it is fake and is also life threatening. But due to many new inventions and innovations, cosmetic surgical procedures have toned down the risks and are now less expensive, so that now many people are considering having them done. The most common type of

Cosmetic Surgery
Many Anti-Aging Cosmetic Procedures are non-invasive and can be done as an Out-patient Procedure
procedures are listed below:

1. Blepharoplasty:
Commonly known as eyelid surgery, it is a cosmetic procedure which is used to reduce the sagginess of the eyes. Extra pockets of fat are removed from the upper eyelids. And as for the lower lids; the fat is either repositioned or removed. The final result is that the patient has crisp-looking, alert eyes with very little puffiness at all.

2. Rhinoplasty:
This type of cosmetic surgery refers to surgery on the nose and is commonly known as a nose job/nasal surgery. The cosmetic surgeon will operate on the nose’s cartilage and bone, which will help in correcting a distorted nose tip, nasal hump, nasal asymmetry, dorsal-fullness and wide nostrils.

3. Rhytidectomy:
Commonly known as facelifts, it is the most common procedure among women. This type of surgical procedure corrects all the excess facial skin and tightens the loose facial muscles. Tiny cuts and incisions are made on the hairline and on various parts of the face to correct sagging skin, wrinkles and lines.

4. Mammoplasty:
The different surgical procedures done on breasts are known as Mammoplasty. Among the many procedures three types stand out.
Breast Augmentation: a procedure in which the size of the breast is increased via implants.
Mastopexy: a procedure in which the breasts are reshaped and excess skin is removed from under them.
Breast Reductions: a procedure in which the tissue and skin is removed to reduce the size of breasts.

5. Liposuction:
When exercise and dieting have no effect in reducing weight, liposuction is referred to (most of the time) for weight reduction and fat removal. In this procedure a vacuum is used to suck out the excess fat pockets from any area of the body.

6. Abdominoplasty:
This is also known as a tummy tuck. In this procedure the area of focus is the abdomen, in which the more stubborn fat and excess skin is removed, the abdominal walls are tightened and stretch marks are removed.

7. Buttock Enhancement:
In this procedure, the buttocks are treated and surgery is performed on them to make them look rounder, fuller and tighter.

8. Otoplasty:
Otoplasty is a procedure in which the ears are reshaped. This is the safest type of cosmetic surgery, as it is easily done on children too. In this procedure the surgeon makes an incision in the rear skin of the ear and exposes the cartilage, then he/she will reshape it or cut it to reduce its size.

9. Botox:
Botox injections are used to reduce signs of aging. A surgical practitioner will inject high protein chemicals into the desired area which will leave the skin looking younger and reduces wrinkles.

10. Chemical Peels:
A not “under the knife” procedure. Acid is applied onto your face or any other area you want treated. This acid, in-turn, peels the top most layer of the skin, helping reduce signs of aging, wrinkles and acne.
