Plastic surgery procedures are on the rises as the economy rebounds. Last year, there were more than 13 million elective cosmetic surgeries performed in America, which was a 5 percent increase from 2009, says the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The increase in cosmetic plastic surgery procedures is the first reported since the recession began, according to ABC News. The No. 1 most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in 2010 was breast augmentation, where nearly 300,000 Americans opted for this procedure, followed by rhinoplasty (nose job / reshaping), eyelid surgery, liposuction, and tummy tucks. Botox injections were at the top for non-surgical procedures performed, followed by soft tissue fillers, chemical peels, laser hair removal, and microdermabrasion.
“There’s some pent-up demand for cosmetic surgical procedures,” ASPS president Phillip Haeck said in a news release.
“People waited a couple of years or more to have procedures until their finances were at least somewhat back in order. But more consumers are again willing to spend more to look better.”
As the economy worldwide swings up and down, plastic surgery procedures continue to grow amongst many Americans with the youth population steadily increasing for procedures as well.
Popular singer Barry Manilow, now 67, reportedly had a facelift back in 1995, then a second facelift and eyelid surgery in 2003, a third facelift in 2006, plus undergoing regular Botox injections.
According to Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Youn, that’s just too much.
“I’d like to see a bit more natural aging to his face,” Youn said.
“I believe that facial plastic surgery can create a very natural appearance when the goal is to take 10-20 years off someone. When we start to go after 25, 30, or even 40 years, then people start looking fake.”
“Maybe he should dedicate his song, ‘I Can’t Smile Without You,’ to his plastic surgeon. (No, not me),” Youn joked.
The blog Plastic Surgery Spot sums up the singer’s appearance after so much surgery: “Barry Manilow is looking very, what’s the word, ‘surprised’ lately.”
What do you think about celebrity plastic surgery? Do they get too much of it?
Nicole Kidman has finally confirmed the rumors on Wednesday, which has been referred to as the worst-kept secret in Hollywood – she has used Botox.
The perfect skin actress, now 43, recently confessed to a German magazine that she had used the facial injection, botox, in the past, but has insisted that she has given it up… for now.
But, the age-defying Kidman said she stopped getting the botox injections because it made it difficult for her to move her features.
“I didn’t like how my face looked afterward,” she said. “Now I don’t use it any more – and I can move my forehead again.”
The recent admission counters Kidman’s previous claims that she was “completely natural” and had never used botox. Kidman has been a long time suspect of using Botox, along with other ageless Hollywood stars such as Demi Moore, Jane Fonda, Madonna, and Kylie Minogue. But Kidman said she still did all she could to fight the signs of aging.
“I’ve tried a lot of things [to stop wrinkles], but apart from working out and a good diet most things don’t help,” said Kidman.
Endorsed by other celebrities, ChamonixSkinCare.com is an all-natural anti-wrinkle and anti-aging brand of creams, sirums, and more. Maybe Nicole Kidman will give Chamonix or other anti-aging skin care products a shot in the future to help hide those aging lines?
What do you think? Is it that important to you if Nicole Kidman used or will eventually use Botox again and/or other facial line drugs?
11.28.2010 – Taking a dietary supplement of organic zinc and the enzyme phytase four days before receiving botulinum toxin injections made the toxin more effective in 93 percent of patients tested in a recent study at The Methodist Hospital in Houston.
Dr. Charles Soparkar’s research has resulted in a patent-pending dietary supplement combining zinc and phytase (trademarked as ZYTAZE) to be available to patients as early as this month. Forty-one of the 44 patients who took the oral supplements prior to botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport, or Myobloc) showed improved results. Many of the patients in the study were being treated for a rare form of eyelid spasm called blepharospasm and had previously responded poorly to botulinum toxin injections. More
