Cheap Cosmetic Surgery Scoops
The other emerging trend in plastic surgery is many more men embracing self-improvement through facial plastic surgery. According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (A.A.F.P.R.S.,) ‘05 saw a whopping 60 percent increase in men and 30 percent increase in women selecting cosmetic procedures.
Americans – along with the rest of the world — continue to welcome facial plastic surgery, with surgical and non-surgical methods, as a sure way to enhance appearance, build confidence and wipe-out the lines of time according to a recent survey gathered from board-certified A.A.F.P.R.S. members and reporting the latest trends in facial plastic surgery.
Finally, nearly one-half of surgeons have seen patients traveling abroad to undergo cosmetic surgery and then come into their practices with complications or needing for a re-do. “We continue to see about half (51 percent) of patients having multiple procedures performed by the same doctor in the same year,” reported Dr. Papel. “That may reflect the continued strength of non-surgical procedures that typically require an ongoing regime such as Botox, chemical peels and fat injections.” The average cost of many procedures still remains in the low thousands, or even the hundreds of dollars. Surgeons estimate that 51 percent of the procedures performed in 2005 took place at private offices, and nearly that many (46 percent) at a free-standing surgical center. One-third were performed at hospitals (33 percent) and much fewer at medical spas (20 percent).
Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Griffin is considered one of the foremost authorities on plastic surgery for African Americans and ethnic skin types. Though his patients are of every type, he is a crusader to spread the word that minorities who have plastic surgery no longer need to copy traditional beauty ideals.
“I want people to know that they can enhance their natural beauty and still retain their ethnic identity,” Dr. Griffin says. He is a pioneer in scar-free surgery for scar-prone minorities — the author of a book on the subject — and works hard to promote new safe ethnic surgical techniques to other plastic surgeons. His surgeries have been featured on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover,” CNN, Time magazine, The Discovery Health Channel, National Geographic, The Learning Channel and elsewhere. As a general expert on all things plastic surgery, Dr, Griffin is a regular on E! Entertainment, and has also been seen on “Access Hollywood.”
From NY Post:
Dr. Jacobs said he can turn even the flattest rump into a celeb-worthy humps with a little help from your extra padding and about $11,000. “It’s your own fat, and it’s in the best soil [your butt], so it lasts,” said Jacobs. “The added bonus is they’re getting liposuction to get the excess fat and put it where you need it,” he said. American Society of Plastic Surgeons statistics show that butt lifts have increased dramatically, up 283 percent from 2000 to 2005. Business is certainly booming at some Big Apple offices. “We’re doing four, maybe five a week on a busy week,” said George Lefkovits, of Manhattan. “It’s now become one of our key operations in the office. “You can do this on a Thursday or a Friday and be back to work on Monday,” Lefkovits said. Some complications can include infection, lumpiness and unevenness. Critics also contend that the fat doesn’t stay in the posterior for long, and most people will need to be retouched as time passes.
