APPS HELP YOU GET THE LOOK YOU WANT!
If you’re
considering plastic surgery, there’s an app for that. Anyone who is looking
into rhinoplasty (a nose job) or liposuction naturally wants to know how
they’ll look when the surgery is complete and new technologies and iPhone apps
are making it easier than ever for patients to access information about the
procedures they’re looking into as well as visually manipulate photos of
themselves to see how they’ll look after plastic surgery.
BodyPlastika.com
is one of the coolest new iPhone tools that can help patients get an idea of
how they’ll look following a breast augmentation or a tummy tuck. This app
gives patients the power to construct their ideal image via the iPhone and
communicate more clearly about their desires and expectations with their
plastic surgeon. BodyPlastika is not yet widely available but it’s getting
ready to hit the market soon.
If you’re
looking for iPhone apps that are already widely available, then consider
iSurgeon or Shafer Plastic Surgery apps. The iSurgeon app was developed by Dr.
Micheal Salzhauer to give patients the opportunity to change images and do
breast enhancements, lip augmentation, butt lifts, tummy tucks, and other
procedures using the tool. The app can be purchased exclusively through the
iTunes store, but the web site for iSurgeon is at http://www.iSurgeonGame.com.
The Shafer
Plastic Surgery app, in contrast, is less game-like and more intellectual. It
is geared toward patients who are information-seekers. It contains a database
of over 1,000 questions and answers about cosmetic surgery procedures.

SWEET HALLOWEEN!!
With Halloween upon us, this is timely news about a procedure that is growing in popularity. Scary as it may sound, it is one procedure to help BOO – tify patients who have it. Facelifts are invasive procedures that involve injections and cuts. But a new treatment called the Vampire Facelift is needle-free, using lasers for smooth skin free of wrinkles. And the recipient of the first Vampire Facelift, Amie Mee, underwent the procedure in Glasgow.
The Daily Mail is reporting that the newest cosmetic procedure, which administers thousands of tiny holes in one’s face through a carbon dioxide laser, pushes plasma from the patient’s blood through an ultrasound probe. The treatment costs approximately £750.
Mee was happy with the results and would recommend it to others. “The procedure makes such a great improvement to your skin in terms of pigmentation, texture and in other ways.”
The non-invasive procedure’s creator, Dr. Taimur Shoaib, performed the treatment at his Belle Forme clinic. The technique is named after vampires because it uses one’s own blood to rejuvenate the skin. It is an update to the traditional vampire facelift that uses a series of injections in one’s face.
Dr. Shoaib believes that the facelift removes deep surface lines and wrinkles, with the additional benefit of continuing to aide restoration under the skin. “It then keeps on working in various ways under the surface to enable the skin to produce collagen, its own youth serum.”
Mee found the laser to be slightly uncomfortable but the quickness of the procedure made it worth the discomfort. “After you’ve had a bit of downtime your skin just looks amazing,” she said.

PLASTIC SURGEONS TRY NEW METHODS ON THEMSELVES
Sometimes we are the best test subject for a new methodology, practice
or habit. And the plastic surgeons of The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic
Surgery are practitioners of trying new products and procedures on themselves
before using them on patients.
Surgeons Perform Treatments On Themselves Before Patients
Cision Wire posted an article about the board-certified doctors and
their unique way of finding out whether a procedure or product works.
Dr. Robert Sigal and Dr. Byron Poindexter practice what they preach.
“It’s simple: if you want to know if something works, get it done yourself,”
said Dr. Sigal. Added Dr. Poindexter, “We try it on ourselves and on staff
volunteers so that we can know the utility of it. And so after a proper amount
of time to evaluate something, we know
if it’s something that we’ll have at our
office, and offer to our patients.”
This is old hat for the surgeons at The Austin-Weston Center for
Cosmetic Surgery in Washington, DC, with the three plastic surgeons—Dr.
Poindexter, Dr. Sigal, and Dr. George Weston—having more than 55 years of
combined experience.
The doctors have tried everything from Expression hyaluronic acid
filler (similar to Restylane) to miraDry for underarm sweating and Dysport (a
Botox competitor) on each other with no regrets. “It’s the right thing to do,
and when you do the right thing, good things come back to you. Our practice is
living proof of that.”

Psy told to get a Facelift
Korean Popstar Psy Told to Get
a Facelift
October 7, 2012 By Trevor Green
The breakout song “Gangnam Style” has gained Korean music artist Psy
international fame, but he was told years prior to have cosmetic surgery to
seek success.
Psy talked about this with Contact Music, noting that “he was
horrified when label chiefs demanded he undergo a drastic image overhaul.” One
agency thought that the voice on his music was a different person than what
emerged.
“The agency heard my raps and were picturing a six-foot tall,
sharp-looking, trendy guy. But the CEO opened our meeting with the statement,
‘What are we going to do with this?’ Staff said, ‘How about we make him wear a
cool mask?’” Psy recalled.
The agency’s solution was plastic surgery, but the CEO did not think
that would be enough, according to Psy. But the joke was on the company, as
Psy’s “Gangnam Style” has more than 353 million YouTube views and is topping
the UK music charts.

SAVE YOUR LIFE, CHOOSE A CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON
Transgender men who cannot afford the surgical procedures necessary to
make a full transition from male to female have been resorting to
health-jeopardizing procedures under the hand of untrained, unskilled “pumpers”
who promise to inject feminizing silicone throughout their bodies. The silicone
is able to produce curves and softness that is coveted by these transgender
males, but the injections take a hefty toll on these women’s lives and their
health. Though sometimes they produce the desired results, often transgender
women experience devastating side effects that make them wish they had never
had the injections.
Transgender individuals are not able to access health insurance to
help them make a transition from male to female or vice versa. But often these
people are desperate to make their appearance match their gender identity on
the inside. As a result, there is now a black market for transgender males to
become more feminine using silicone injections. Typically, doctors recommend
that silicone be used within enclosed implants, but the pumpers who serve the
transgender community inject loose silicone directly into the body. Medical
grade silicone can be difficult for pumpers to obtain, so often these people
will resort to using other substances like industrial grade silicone,
fix-a-flat, or cooking oil instead. Loose silicone of medical or industrial
grade can migrate to other areas of the body, causing disfigurement and
scarring.
The main reason why transgender women will seek out pumpers rather
than going to qualified medical doctors is because they simply can’t afford the
tens of thousands of dollars that it costs to make a full transition to the
female gender. Men who want to become female have to endure multiple surgeries
and injections of female hormones in order to take on a more feminine
appearance. There are a multitude of different procedures that can help
feminize masculine features. For example, transgender women will often have
their hairline moved down, a forehead lift, chin work, and a rhinoplasty to
feminize their facial features. Lip augmentation is also often recommended. All
of these surgical procedures are performed in addition to breast augmentation
and genital reconstruction. The price tag is currently at about $70,000 and
most transgender women living in the United States simply can’t afford it. Many
transgender women will use pumpers to at least achieve a more feminine
appearance even though they can’t afford hormones or any of the other bells and
whistles that are possible with transgender surgery with a qualified and board
certified plastic surgeon.
Some experts estimate that 22 percent of all transgender women in New
York have used a pumper’s services to create a more feminine appearance. Unfortunately,
many pumpers have used alternatives to medical grade silicone, or cut the
medical grade silicone with baby oil or Crisco to cheapen the procedure and
make a bigger profit. Often, they perform their injections in unsterile
environments like a hotel rooms, sometimes inviting ten or twenty other
transgender women to have the same procedure done at the same time. Silicone
injected into the bloodstream by accident at one of these parties can cause a
variety of different autoimmune disorders as well as respiratory distress and
death. But as long as the cost of transgender surgical procedures remains
exorbitant and inaccessible as a result of insurance regulations, pumpers will
still be able to make a profit even despite the potentially deadly
consequences.

SOFT SKIN AFTER BURNS?...POSSIBLE!!
Stem Cell Skin Gun Treats Severe Burns in
Days
One of the
most dangerous aspects of a severe burn is the potential for infection. Our
skin protects the body from invading organisms, providing a twenty-four hour
defense. When the skin gets severly burned, however, that defensive mechanism
is melted away. Not only does the patient have a lifetime of scarring to
endure, but the fear of invasive pathogens that could cause serious infection
while the burn is healing. Hastening the healing process has been approached in
a number of different ways, but today, a new stem cell treatment is on the
horizon that could revolutionize burn treatment and provide hope to individuals
who have been severely burned over a large area of their body.
The
treatment for serious burns is often time consuming and painful. It can take
weeks or even months for a burn to heal and patients must often stay in the
hospital or return frequently for treatments to keep infection at bay and the
healing process on track. After healing has taken place, patients are often
left with extensive scarring. But miraculously, a new stem cell spray gun,
promises to reduce the time it takes for patient’s to heal from a severe burn,
while promoting the growth of normal looking skin rather than the scar tissue
that is characteristic of a healed burn wound.
The flames
or heat itself that burns the tissue is not the most serious or deadly part of
a severe wound. Rather, infections pose the biggest threat to a patient’s
survival. The ability to regenerate a protective barrier over a major burn
wound can literally save a patient’s life and the stem cell spray gun is able
to do just that. This device utilizes stem cell technology to regrow skin,
spraying the stem cells onto the area to be treated. The process is relatively
simple and straightforward. Amazingly, a few days after the treatment, the
patient regrows skin that looks normal and healthy. Because of its quick
action, the stem cell spray gun allows patients to heal quickly, lessening the
risk of infection.
The stem
cell spray gun was developed by Dr. Jorg Gerlach from the University of
Pittsburgh’s McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The stem cells are
harvested from the adult burn victim and then
sprayed directly onto the wound. Because of the way stem cells work in
the body, healthy skin is able to be regenerated without major scarring. And
the process of regrowing skin is remarkably fast. Faster than any other burn
treatment currently available today.
Because the
stem cells used for the spray gun belong to the patient themselves, there is no
risk of an immune response against them. The patient’s body will not reject the
stem cells and indeed, these specialized little units are able to build any
type of tissue in the body according to the specifications laid out by each
individual’s DNA. The stem cells used for the spray gun are not embryonic stem
cells, so there is no controversy over making use of them.

GET AWAY...AND LOOK YOUNGER!!
Some Hotels Now Offer Cosmetic Procedures
The hospitality industry is constantly evolving and hotels
these days are going to extraordinary lengths to draw in more customers. Though
the idea of a spa and a hotel mesh nicely, cosmetic surgery and hotels don’t
traditionally go together. However, recently, guests at the Four Seasons Hotel
in Austin, Texas have been able to take advantage of a new, gimmicky draw:
cosmetic surgeries and procedures. The idea of a spa and a hotel was just taken
a step further.
RELATED:

Everyone in the United States considers the possibility of
plastic and cosmetic procedures. Some people desire dramatic changes like
breast augmentation or rhinoplasty while other people are more apt to go for
small, natural-looking alterations like Botox or a chemical peel. The Four
Seasons in Austin is starting off with some less hard-core cosmetic procedures
to whet their customer’s palettes. In the near future, however, plastic surgery
procedures like breast augmentation and liposuction will become a reality as
well. By offering cosmetic procedures in a hotel setting, individuals who
aren’t willing to go through the effort to set up an initial consultation and
do the complicated footwork required to bring a surgical cosmetic procedure to
fruition can take a more laid-back approach to the process. Rather than having
to seek out a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon, the intersection can take
place via serendipity. Patients can decide to have surgery more impulsively and
come back from their vacation as an entirely different (looking) person.
Cosmetic surgery patients prefer to look at their procedures
as opportunities to luxuriate, rather than medical procedures. By placing the
procedures in a hotel rather than a hospital or medical facility, patients can
approach the situation more like a vacation and less like a medical situation.
In the case of the Four Seasons hotel (which also has longer-term residential
rooms available), even getting a breast enhancement performed can be somewhat
relaxing and rejuvenating for patients. Currently, patients can check in to the
hotel and then get Botox, skin tightening, or a chemical peel performed by
Westlake Dermatology.
Westlake Dermatology of Austin will be providing the
state-of-the-art procedures at the Four Seasons along with expertise and a
strong sense of how to promote wellness in their patients. The hotel hopes to
draw in customers from around the world as well as residents of the local
community. Though cosmetic surgery on the ground floor of a hotel may be a new
idea, hotels and cosmetic surgeons have been working together for a long time
offering special discounted offers to their guests.
The Westlake Dermatology clinic and the Four Seasons hotel
are committed to their partnership and currently share the same Facebook page.
Customers looking for a deal can find a special tweeting offer for the first
100 customers who sign up for a Botox treatment at the hotel. As other hotels
try to compete for customers, there may be some strange alliances formed, but
the idea of cosmetic surgery and the hospitality industry seems to make sense
and is probably here to stay.
