Liposuction for Men

Rise of liposuction in men

Liposuction For Men

It is no secret that while women are probably more bombarded by expectations from the media, men see it too. In fact, they get it a lot more than you think! They may not be pressured to look skinny but they’re pressured to look muscular and chiseled throughout their entire lives. Unfortunately, this is a difficult to attain if you are a normal, average person, but some things can be done if you diet and exercise. However, the fastest way to help you achieve this look is by undergoing liposuction! This is becoming more and more popular among men.

There has been some research done recently that states that liposuction is the top procedure in the United States today and more and more men are getting it every day. In fact, liposuction has knocked breast augmentation procedures out of the top spot! This may be shocking but it is true.

Being competitive at work

Even men who have desk jobs will compare themselves to the guy sitting next to them with much bigger muscles. This is greatly motivating a lot of men to try to have body enhancement procedures done that will not only make them look better, but feel better, too. A lot of people have significant desires to look their best without having to work overtime at the gym. Just be sure to talk to a professional before undergoing this procedure.

The Hollywood man

Unfortunately, the male body is now just as much in the public eye as the female body. Many women complain about the amount of pressure they feel from the media but men get it too! If you are not careful, you may find yourself wrapped up in these ideals. Most men in the normal world are not able to put very much time into their bodies – at least not as much as those in Hollywood do. So, they may feel frustrated by those that are much stronger looking than they are, and feel discouraged. There are many ways to make your muscles pop, but if you have a family and a career, you may not have as much time as you’d like. Fortunately, you will be able to combat this if you are careful and know what to do.

A lot of men want that ideal body that they see in magazines, but they shouldn’t lose heart if they can’t attain it by diet and exercise alone.  We can help you understand what it is you need from your body and how you can combat any problems that may come from not being careful.

Hand Lifts are On the Rise

Hand Lifts are on the rise

Getting married is something that some women want to do their entire life. For a lot of these women, the  moment when they are proposed to is something they will want to remember forever. Many of us see a lot of our friends getting engaged, whether it be through a text or a phone call or through social media. Whatever the case, there is always a picture of “The ring”.

Aside from all the joy that comes from this type of occasion, there is also a lot of insecurity that comes with it. Not necessarily because of the marriage itself, but because of everything that will be in the public eye. From Pinterest-perfect weddings to everyone posting pictures of their hands on social media, this can cause a woman to become self-conscious about, yes, the way her hand looks. Hands area actually one of the first places on the body that show signs of aging, and this can be a cause of great insecurity for women who post pictures of their ring-adorned hand for all to see.

Because of this problem, “hand-lifts” have started to become a common procedure in places like France. The procedure is not new or innovative but is suddenly becoming more common.

As each of us grow older, our hands can lose the elasticity and fat that they once had, which causes them to look more old and ragged than they might have in the past. They can look more bony, and have wrinkles that look more prominent. Because of these, people are turning more and more to plastic surgery.

Injections that are typically done for the face can actually be used in the hands to create the same kind of effect, and will actually have results that are nearly instantaneous. This does not require invasive surgery, but only a simple injection.

The only question left is this: are women doing this before they get engaged? Or are they choosing to do it after, and don’t post a picture until they have had work done? This is an interesting question to consider. Some women may choose to do it before they get professional pictures taken.

Hand lifts are actually not a bad thing to have, it just might seem silly to some. However, no one will ever be completely satisfied with all the things that come with their body, so why not take some steps to improve it in a great way? It’s important that you look and feel your best, especially on your wedding day when you’ll be going around for all to see.

Have any questions about procedures such as this? Speak with our highly trained professionals today. We can assure you that there will be full disclosure before any procedure is done, and you will be much happier with the results when you find a physician you can trust.

Annoying Cosmetic Problems for Women

Women's annoying cosmetic problems

Women’s Annoying Cosmetic Problems

It’s no secret that women are much stronger when it comes to style but women have their own annoying cosmetic problems as well. It is actually an alarming truth that women have a lot of beauty and health conditions that most men don’t have to worry about. This can include hair care problems as well as skin care or skin health issues. Read on to learn more.

Cellulite

Even women who are very skinny have some cellulite and cells of fat that are dimpled are often very looked down upon. While cellulite may actually vary in severity between different people, as well as being significantly worse in women who are overweight, this is actually an issue that men don’t ever need to worry their minds over. This may in fact be caused be caused by skin and patterns below it, skin thickness, as well as circulation. There was a report done by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery that only 4% of cellulite treatments are employed by men.

Melasma

Have you ever experienced any problems with dark spots from the sun? If you do, you likely have Melasma. This is a common skin condition that can come about at any time (especially while pregnant) and can also happen on your face, which is very undesirable. Women actually have this problem 90% more often than men, and there is actually no known cure for the problem. Although it cannot go away, spots can be faded with chemical peels and other treatments.

Unwanted hair

All women probably wish their morning routine didn’t have to take so much time, and it wouldn’t if you didn’t have to shave your armpits, or rid your face of unwanted hairs. Men look great with that nice five o’clock shadow on their face, but it has been found that most women don’t typically think their own stubble is attractive. If you’re sick of doing this, try laser hair removal.

Stretch marks

Men are prone to stretch marks, yes. But they do not have to battle this problem nearly as much as women do. There is the obvious reason for pregnancy and breast tissue problems, and a lot of women have significant stretch marks covering their torso. The only upside to this? These stretchmarks can be lightened with laser surgery and corrective creams.

Thinning hair

It is a well-known fact that women do not bald as easily as men. However, men can actually pull it off better! Women will have a significantly less obvious hair loss pattern, but they may not look too great when they pull their hair back. Some women can pull it off but most will feel very downtrodden if they have to reach for the Rogaine.

If you have any questions about these problems, speak with a Board Certified plastic surgeon in Las Vegas. We can help you understand what goes on with your body, and combat problems that may come with being a woman. It’s important to understand how best to keep your body from these problems, and there are a lot of non-invasive procedures that can be employed to do just that.

The Key to Keeping Healthy

It is very likely that you have heard that water is the key to keeping healthy and the very most crucial thing that will keep you living. If you are like most people in the world, you probably drink a lot of soda, caffeine, or sports drinks, and you probably don’t drink too much water. It is actually a fact that the majority of people do not drink enough water. You may also be surprised to learn that the amount of water you drink each day can actually completely make or break the health of your skin.

Each study is different, but the majority of experts will say that most people need to drink about ten glasses of water each day. You may find yourself thinking that this is a significant amount of water, but what this really means is that you likely aren’t drinking enough. If you have the right amount of water every day, this will actually greatly contribute to the health of your skin. Why do you need water each day? Read on for more.

Your body is more than 50% water

It may not seem like it, but actually more than half of your body is made up of purely water. Your body, including  your muscles, blood and other tissues will only be able to fully survive if you are completely hydrated. If you can ensure that your body is hydrated, you will be able to perform each activity you have to the very best of your ability. If you drink a lot of water, you can make sure that you function well and properly.

Your digestive system needs it.

Without water, your digestive system simply will not work. When you are very well hydrated, you body will be much more likely to break down effectively the foods that you eat. If you have poor digestion, you will have many significant problems such as stomach cramps and constipation. This can also result in dehydration that comes from high blood pressure, dry skin, death, and headaches. There are also some studies that have been done that show that if you drink a lot of water, you may even reduce your risks of cancer.

Your circulation system needs it.

This is a very important aspect of needing water – your body relies heavily on the right amount of water each day, especially your circulation system. If you have a lot of good oxygen levels in your body, you will have a great level of circulation and will continue to have better health. If you need to flush out toxins, you will need to do this with a significant amount of water. Water will also create and regulate a metabolism that is much faster and higher than a standard body temperature. This will make sure that you have much better health overall.

Tired of Looking Tired?

Tired of looking tired?Tired of looking tired?

If you are starting to look or feel tired, this is a problem that many people have as they begin to get a little older. You can actually help to prevent yourself from looking tired, even if feeling tired may be completely unavoidable. If you want to feel better and look better, you will need to understand the importance of getting your beauty rest, because this is vital to helping you feel great all the time. Read on to find out more.

 

Your skin will heal very quickly

You have probably heard the term “beauty sleep”, and well, this is a real thing. Your skin gets used to sleep hours to use it to heal from the everyday damage that may come each day. When you go to sleep, your skin will improve greatly. That is why you should wake up feeling fresh.

You’ll have much less breakouts

It’s not a secret that if you get more sleep, you will have clearer skin! If you have a sever lack of sleep, you will likely be stressed, and this will cause pimples in adults, not just teenagers. Studies have been done that show that college students were more prone to breakouts when they were stressed.

Your eyes will be bright

Have you ever felt envious of those people who truly have eyes that “sparkle”? If you have dark circles, it is likely that they will steal the spotlight from you. Dark circles can actually come from genetics, but if you don’t get enough sleep, they will likely look darker. To disguise these, try to use some eye cream as a primer.

Even out your skin tone

If you stay up all night, your skin will probably turn out very blotchy or pale. If you sleep more, there will be a more healthy flow of blood to your skin. If you happen to wake up with skin that looks blotchy, apply a foundation and make sure to add some translucent powder over the top.

You can rid your eyes of puffiness

While you sleep, fluid actually collects around your eyes if you happen to lay flat upon a bed. If you want to rid yourself of this problem, be sure to prop your head up at night with some pillows. If you wake up with bags, apply a cold cloth to your eyes for two minutes.

Drink water at night

If you have a glass of wine at night, this can actually dry your skin out and age it the next day. If you want to have a drink, drink water! In the morning, be sure to use a toner that contains something to combat the problems with your eyes so that there is not a significant aging agent that happens when you are not properly taking care of your body or your eyes to give out hat puffy and dry look.

If you do each of these things, you will watch your skin look great.  Any questions? Set up a consultation and you can talk to your Las Vegas plastic surgeon plastic surgeon Dr. Reynolds for more information and you will love the results you get from your cosmetic procedures.
