Nip This Tuck That

Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery “Beauty Tip of the Day” from Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Francis R Palmer, III: “Interested in looking more attractive?  Perhaps more youthful as well?  If so and you’re the type that loves getting the latest Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedure…let me share a recent story with you.  A patient came in for some facial rejuvenation….wanted to look more youthful and attractive.  Simple enough request, right?

Turns out that the patient had already spent a small fortune chasing the latest non-invasive laser treatments all over Beverly Hills….with little or no result.  Why?  Simple enough once again.  The patient needed removal of about 2 inches of skin from each side of the face and neck as well as a more youthful shaping of the cheeks in order to accomplish her goal of looking more youthful, feminine and attractive.  No laser, light, chemical or radio frequency treatment available today is capable of delivery these kinds of results.

What was needed was some type of lift….like the “Celebrity Lift” with minimal incisions and then radiesse to shape the cheeks….some fat also needed to be removed from the nasolabial folds to further accentuate the cheeks.  OK…so what’s the morale here?

Again, quite simple.  New technology in Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery doesn’t always mean more effective…ie that you’ll get better results.  When seeking self-improvement and enhancement with Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures…never loose sight of the aesthetic goals….if there’s a newer, less invasive Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedure (like the Celebrity Lift) that can accomplish those goals…great!  If not, that newer technology is something that you simply…just…don’t need…period!
