Nip This Tuck That

Is it possible to look 5, even 7 years younger in 10 minutes? Yes, I believe that it is. If the face is made to look more shapely, youthful and therefore attractive using fillers in just the right places. Radiesse, Perlane or Juvederm Plus can be used to shape the cheeks to a more rounded, feminine shape for women or in men they can be used to acheive a more chieseled, angular and ruggedly handsome appearance by creating more narrow cheeks and a flared-jaw.

The secret is where to place and how much to use of these fillers to acheive facial improvement and avoid the over-filled look which is getting a bad reputation as the “puffer-fish” or “bloated face” look. Non-specific filling or plumping of the face using fillers does not create a more shapely and attractive face according to “The Palmer Code Principles“, but risks creating a full, puffy, less-attractive..almost swollen appearance which is un-attractive at best.

You can look 5, even 7 years more attractive when these fillers are used to create more shapely, attractive cheeks, chin and jawline according to my “Palmer Code Principles” as outlined in my new book “What’s Your Number…The Palmer Code.” When you are considering using any filler, be sure the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Dermatologist, physician or nurse who’s doing the injections understands The Palmer Code Principles to ensure you look more youthful and attractive after the treatment. The best plastic and cosmetic surgeons are those that understand these principles of aesthetic beauty and the best celebrity plastic surgery outcomes would no doubt adhere to these same principles.

Where are you getting your information about Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery? From friends, colleagues, the internet? Does it matter? Yes, I’m afraid it does matter and it may matter a great deal if you act on information that’s incorrect…you could look worse and in some cases much worse.

The internet is amazing with all kinds of information about all subjects including plastic and cosmetic surgery like Face Lifts, Eyelid Surgery, Rhinoplasty, Breast Implants, Cheek Implants, Chin Implants, Lip Implants, Breast Implants, Tummy Tucks, Botox, Dysport, Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm and IPL treatments. The problem isn’t the amount of available information, I’m afraid, but rather the quality of the information.

There are many sources of plastic and cosmetic surgery information written by laypeople…which means non-plastic and cosmetic surgeons. You can find these articles on numerous web portals that go by all sorts of names and list pages and pages of names of surgeons for you to visit and hopefully see. The thing you must understand is that the surgeons typically pay a monthly fee to be listed and more money to be featured in these directories and there is most likely little or no screening criteria for experience or quality.

Then there’s the chat boards. Here some person who’s not using their real name and has little way of proving that they are who they claim or that they have even had the type of plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures that they are discussing…all of which makes for very questionable information.

Even if you get information from a patient who has had the same type of plastic and comsetic surgery…it doesn’t mean that you’ll have the same experience because everyone is different in what they will require during the surgery, all surgeries are not performed the same and all sugeons will do the same procedure in a different manner. In my 20 years of writing and teaching about plastic and cosmetic surgery this is the most difficult point for me to get across to the consumer.

I recall, some years back, a writer decided to have some huge number of consultations regarding her Face Lift…like 50 or 100. She then chose a surgeon, had her Face Lift and wrote what was touted as a comprehensive guide on Face Lift Surgery. I read about the book in the newspaper and almost split my side laughing at the sheer nonsense and arrogance of such a concept. I will explain further:
The patient during her Face Lift consultation would have received different advice, evaluation and recommendations from all (let’s say 50) surgeons with which she consulted. Next, when she had her Face Lift…she was asleep and as such was completely unaware of exactly how her surgeon did her Face Lift. And even if she was awake and could see, which is just silly, her surgeon did her Face Lift a bit differently than other surgeons or what other patients would have required. It’s not just an adage…we all are unique and as such require different things during surgery. Lastly, the writer could write about her personal post Face Lift experience but healing, pain, emotions and results vary greatly and as such she really doesn’t have the years and thousands of cases to see the norm…or the average in any of these areas.

A bit winded perhaps but now you can see the problem with listening to Susie, who says her Rhinoplasty went great…or was horrible. You may be quite different from Susie in what needs to be done during your Rhinoplasty, who you’ll have do the Rhinoplasty, how you’ll heal, the final result and whether or not that result ultimitely makes you happy. All in all, nice to chat with but no real solid information can be gained. Even less if you consider that it maybe a staff member of friend of the surgeon who’s writing the post and suggesting a particular surgeon for you to see.

I believe it’s best to receive your information about plastic and cosmetic surgery from the various plastic and cosmetic surgery sites or individual surgeons sites. It’s much more likely to be accuarate information that will be useful to you the consumer.

As the rest of the world awakens to new ways to make themselves more attractive through Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery and/or non-invasive medical treatments like our “Celebrity Face Lift”, Cheek Implants, Rhinoplasty, Eyelid Surgery, Breast Augmentation, Chin Implants, Botox, Radiesse, Juvederm and Lip Augmentation….these procedures have become a munlti-billion dollar industry. If you consider that Botox sales..excluding the new Dysport toxin that just arrived on the US market, has worldwide sales of about 1.2 billion dollars, you can see that many billions of dollars are spent on improving the appearance of people all around the world.

What you elect to have done to improve your appearance should entail at least as much education and fact finding as you’d do to purchase a new electronic device. Except plastic and cosmetic surgery and procedures are hand-made and will vary significantly between plastic and cosmetic surgeons who all have their own way of doing things. Aesthetic Medicine…which includes plastic and cosmetic surgery is not cookbook but is practiced as an art, which means it will be done differently. So your most important decisions as a consumer is to find the right plastic and cosmetic surgeon to give you want you want: which is to be more attractive.
In my opinion, there are two main things that every person must know before seeking to improve upon their appearance. It’s what the celebrities, that look good…not the disasters we’ve all see in the tabloids but the stars that look youthful, refreshed and yes…star-like beautiful. It’s what they know and you need to know as well.

1. There is a guide…a master plan that describes beauty of the face and body and you need to understand the information contained within this guide. A culmination of 20 years of my work as a Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic surgeon who has worked on the faces and bodies of celebrities, royalty, captains of industry and socialites from around the world…this guide represents nothing less than my trade secrets of how I made these individuals and thousands more more youtful and naturally attractive. All in an easy to read, follow and learn book >”What’s Your Number…the palmer code.“

2. Once you are armed with the knowledge about what will and will NOT make you more attractive, you must know how to choose your plastic surgeon. I have written an easy to follow 4 step guide on “How To Choose Your Plastic Surgeon“ that will help you in your journey. If your search means that you must travel away from your town, city or country…believe me you are not alone. We have many international clients that travel to Beverly Hills for their plastic and cosmetic surgery and treatments. Why? It’s just like the actress from China who recently contacted us (and she’s by no means alone) who is seeking corrections from locally done work…Quality and experience counts for everything!

There is an old adage that I have found holds true in life and Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery is certainly no exception. It especially holds true in China, Asia and Europe where plastic and cosmetic surgery is only now becoming common place….. “there simply is no substitute for experience…and you get what you pay for.” You can’t get a Ferarri for the price of a Yugo and you won’t get a world-class plastic and cosmetic surgeon for a bargain basement price, so if it comes down to penny pinching, I advise you to save your money and take a vacation. You may not look younger or more attractive after the trip…but you won’t risk looking worse, which will certainly cost you much, much more to fix in the long run.

Much has and continues to be written about Aesthetic Medicine which I call the Business of making people more attractive. This includes Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery treatments and procedures: Rhinoplasty, Face Lifts, Neck Lifts, Brow Lifts, Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty), Cheek Implants, Chin Implant, Lip Augmentation, Hair Transplants, Breast Implants for Augmentation/Enhancement, Tummy Tucks, Liposuction, Buttock/Arm/Back/Thigh Lifts, Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, Radiesse and IPL treatments. All are designed to do specific things to create aesthetic improvements and within each treatment or procedure is an endless variation of how it is performed.

You, as an informed consumer must determine what it is that you’d like to improve. What would you like to look better? Your eyes, face, neck, lips, nose, breasts? After that is decided, what would you like that area to look like? Your lips more full, your nose thinner with a more shapely tip, your face with less jowls while appearring more naturally youthful, your breast fuller and more shapely?

There are many decisions to be made before you have an aesthetic treatment or surgery and I encourage you to become as much of an aesthetic expert as possible so that you can recognize sound aesthetic advice from that which is flawed. Why? Because, in my opinion, after performing Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery for 20 years, the number one complication is the lack of aesthethic judgement of the patient and the surgeon. This is the main reason that people are unhappy after their treatments or procedures….in many cases what was chosen as the way to make that person more attrcative, was doomed to fail from the outset because the treatment or procedure was incapable of creating the proper aesthetic change to make that person more attractive.

How can that happen? Very easilly I’m afraid….we as plastic and cosmetic surgeons are not taught the aesthetics of beauty. We are taught procdures and surgeries that do things but we all do them slightly differently and in different situations, so there’s a great deal of variability despite what anyone else tells you. For example, a patient 25 years old wants cheek implants to make her more feminine. Some surgeons would suggest fillers and place the filler in different areas to shape the face differently. Some would look good, some ok and some would make the face appear odd and mis-shapen. I have seen this when patients have a second consult with me after having fillers elsewhere. Other surgeons may use any one of hundreds of sizes and shapes of cheek implants that will have similar effects. I use and have used 2-3 sizes of 2 thicknesses and have for over 15 years. Why? Because I don’t believe the other many sizes and shapes make the face more attractive…which at the end of the day is the goal!

For each treatment and surgery this can and does occur. You must understnad what does and does not make your face and body more attractive…which is why I’ve written a book on the subject. The culmination of 20 years work, over 4 years in the writing. What’s Your Number…the palmer code shows you, the consumer what you need to know about the beauty aesthetics of your face and body. You can use this book as your beauty source and guide as you make decisions about when and if your ready for plastic and cosmetic surgery. The celebrities that look their best understand these principles and seek the very best plastic and cosmetic surgeons who embrace and understand these concepts…

Latisse is the new product from Allergan that is all the rage because it can increase the length and fullness of your eyelashes. It has to be a doctors prescription and has a monthly cost of $150 per month per patient to the doctor…so expect a markup in price to be passed onto you. There is a small risk of changing green, blue or light colored eyespermanently to brown colored eyes, so be sure to speak to your plastic and comsetic surgeon about the risks and benefits. It is a daily use for life in order to maintain the effects to the eyelashes.

Dysport, a competitor product to Botox as an injection to decrease unwanted lines and wrinkles is hitting the market this July and will be available. The price will be similar toBotox, which costs about $400 per treated area… The Glabella, Crow’s Feet and Lip lines are typically 1 area while the Forehead can be 2-3 areas due to the length and depth of the lines and the amount of product required. There are some mumurings that Dysport may last longer than Botox but only time will tell.

Rhinoplasty Costs: Rhinoplasties with an experienced Rhinoplasty surgeon will run you $10,000 or more depending on what needs to be done to your nose. Revision Rhinoplasty can increase to $12,000-$15,000 or more. So, if you are quoted $4,000 or some of these other very low prices, it might be a cause for concern. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The Celebrity Lift remains the main procedure to create a more youthful, natural, beautiful face with very quick recovery..often measured in hours. The big face lift is going the way of the dinosaurs….
