The Amazing Effects Of Dermal Fillers

For years, anti-aging procedures focused on improving skin texture and tightening loose skin. But, there was never any way to restore lost volume or plump shallow contours, which are also extremely common signs of aging.

Knowing The Right Time To Get Breast Implants

Last year, more than 300,000 women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and professions underwent breast augmentation surgery. Most cosmetic surgeons will tell you there is no “magic age” or special formula to determine when you should choose breast augmentation . Each woman’s situation, personality, and life is different, so it’s a deeply personal choice. So how can you make such a big decision? The ...

4 Ways To Flatten Your Belly

When we imagine a fit, attractive figure, most picture a flat belly. Indeed, a taut midsection looks great on men and women of all shapes and sizes.

How A Shapely Butt Changes Your Figure

Though liposuction and tummy tucks may get a lot of press, many people are looking to add volume to parts of their body, not reduce it.

This can be a challenge, however, because each body gains weight in its own way and in places we can’t control. Some women tend to gain weight in their midsection and ...

Can You Prevent Breasts From Sagging?

Women of all shapes and sizes find that gravity can — and does — take its toll on breasts. When breasts start to sag, they can look less full, and can even make the rest of the body look heavier or less shapely. Why do breasts sag? Aside from obvious factors of normal aging and time, breasts tend to sag when they get larger or smaller throughout a woman’s life. This occurs as a result of ...

Is Liposuction Permanent?

Millions of people have undergone successful liposuction throughout its 30-year history.

Sagging And Bags - Correcting Common Eye Problems

Your eyes are undoubtedly the focal point of your face (unless you happen to have a remarkably beautiful nose, of course). They’re often the first thing people notice about you. Unfortunately, they’re also one of the first places to show signs of aging or to fall victim to the effects of gravity, largely due to the thin, delicate skin in the eye area. People of nearly any age can have problems ...

Getting Natural-Looking Breast Implants

When it comes to breasts, you want the shape and size to complement your figure and make you look your best. That’s why thousands of women undergo successful breast augmentation each year. Whether you go with larger or smaller breasts, most women have one main concern: they want to look natural. Of course, what looks natural on one woman may not be desirable on another. And, “natural” means ...

At What Age Should You Consider A Tummy Tuck?

When you think of certain cosmetic procedures, does an “ideal age” come to mind? Many people have been led to believe the misconception that only younger people can have plastic surgery, when this is not at all the case. A tummy tuck is one great example of this fallacy.
