Dermal Filler Procedures Jump 30% at Center For Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery

Added By admin on September 1st, 2009

SAN DIEGO /PRNewswire/ 09, 01, 2009 — A recent analysis of patient procedures at The Center For Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in San Diego showed a remarkable 30% jump in dermal fillers this year. This further validates statistics issued in March by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) that minimally invasive procedures continue to weather the economic storm.

The economic environment was a key driver of the jump but Medical Director, Dr. Sassan Alavi, and his team also concluded that patients continue to seek out products that will have the longest lasting effect. As a result, Artefill has been the #1 dermal filler of choice for these patients. Artefill is the first and only FDA-approved microsphere-enhanced collagen filler for the correction of smile lines that has proven to have the longest lasting effect of any filler currently available on the market today.

Added By admin on August 21st, 2009

August 21, 2009, Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza won the Miss Universe competition last year, but wouldn’t reveal whether or not she’d had work done.

Eighty-five beauty pageant winners from around the world have descended upon the Bahamas in the hope of being crowned Miss Universe 2009 on Sunday. But did this weekend’s winner look like she does now even a few months ago? And will she look the same when she hands over her multi-million dollar tiara this time next year?

FOXNews.com talked to former pageant winners, pageant officials, and doctors who say surgical enhancements are par for the course at many pageants, and keeping one’s pageant-perfect physique post-competition can be next to impossible. More

Added By admin on August 17th, 2009

August 17th, 2009, Former American Idol contestant seems to make more headlines for her plastic surgery than her talent. Now Kellie’s appearance again has eyebrows raising about her newly raised eyebrows, likely the results of some facial plastic surgery.

At 23 years old, Kellie has already undergone a drastic breast augmentation, which she has played coy about by neither admitting nor denying having had it done. Based on the photographic evidence, Make Me Heal is certain that Kellie’s cleavage is due to the knife and not miraculous undergarments. More

Asian Men Lead in Cosmetic Surgery Increase

Added By admin on August 17th, 2009

August 17, 2009, Last year, Frank Chang spent about $1,500 on non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This year, the 35-year-old Chinese American may go a step farther.

“I may be getting a lift for my eyes,” said Chang. “The reason I am not doing it yet is because I am a bit afraid of the pain.”

Chang said if he were happy with the results, he would continue to do more surgical procedures “in a healthy way.”

Chang is one of an increasing number of Asian-American men defying a cultural stigma to engage in cosmetic surgery in order to improve their appearances. Experts say what is motivating men to seek plastic surgery may be the need to raise their chances of surviving a job market that is increasingly favorable of younger workers, and to be competitive in romantic relationships.

Plastic Surgery Demand Expected to Grow 8.5% Through 2012

Added By admin on August 14th, 2009

August 14, 2009, Despite the drop in demand for cosmetic and plastic surgery in 2009, researchers are pointing to an upswing for the anti-aging and cosmetic surgery industry.

According to the Freedonia Group, an international research firm that reviews industry trends and creates forecasts, demand for cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures is expected to grow at a rate of nearly 8.5% annually through 2012. Demand for minimally-invasive procedures is expected to grow at an even faster rate, as more people reorganize their budgets and look for plastic surgery alternatives to achieve their ideal look.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has already indicated that plastic surgery procedures in the United States have continued to dip downward since 2008 at a rate of 9 percent. According to The Plastic Surgery Channel, California reports a drop by as much as 40 percent since the same period in 2007. More
