The vanity business appears is flourishing. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery announced Thursday that Americans spent over $12 billion on assorted procedures in 2014. One sector is on the increase. More men are turning to aesthetic cosmetic procedures, with dramatic increases seen in both surgical and nonsurgical options over the past 5 years and a 43 percent increase overall, the organization stated. There were over 10 million cosmetic procedures performed last year - with the greatest increase in buttock augmentation, up by 86 percent - along with labiaplasty (up 49 percent), and nonsurgical fat reduction, which has increased by 43 percent. For those who need an explanation, labiaplasty is contouring of distinctly female body parts. The group has previously cited this procedure as a global trend and places it in the category of ever-evolving concept of beauty. Meanwhile, liposuction, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, tummy tucks and nose surgery - all longtime fixtures in the field - are the top five procedures for men and women overall. But men have their favorites. Blepharoplasty - an eyelid, lift, essentially - plus male breast reduction and facelifts are the top three procedures. Since the organization began collecting statistical data in 1997, … Continue reading →

OWINGS MILLS, Md., March 13, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The term "mommy make-over" may conjure images of tummy tucks and butt lifts, but for many women suffering from genital abnormalities, congenital conditions of the genitalia, sexual dysfunction, as well as female urologic conditions such as pelvic prolapse and incontinence, a "mommy make-over" in terms of female genital aesthetic surgery is life-changing. Dr. Karen Boyle of Chesapeake Urology Associates and Chesapeake Aesthetic Surgery Center, has helped restore the intimate appearance, self-confidence and sexual function of countless women through genital aesthetic surgery.

The idea to use lasers to turn brown eyes blue was born in an unlikely place: a dermatologist's office. Driving home after having some pigment spots removed from his skin by laser, Gregg Homer wondered what would happen if you used a similar laser on the eyes. An inventor who had a Ph.D in biology, Homer did a little research and quickly realized the potential of the idea: a study in the 1980s had shown that underneath every brown eye is a blue eye. And that brown layer, Homer discovered, appeared to be superficial enough that it could, theoretically, be removed. "I went back to my dermatologist and said, I've got a question for you," Homer told Discovery News. "What would happen if you used this on an iris?" The dermatologist eventually joined his board of investigators, and now, almost 20 years later, the surgery is going through human testing in Costa Rica via Homer's company called Stroma. The original idea, that the frequency of the green laser is such that it passes straight through the cornea and is only absorbed by dark color, makes it "incredibly safe and incredibly differentiating," Homer said. The change isn't immediate; the laser is … Continue reading →

March 2, 2015 - Two of the fastest-growing plastic surgery procedures are gluteoplasty or "butt augmentation," to improve the appearance of the buttocks; and labiaplasty to address cosmetic and functional concerns with the vagina. New insights into the use and outcomes of these procedures are presented in the March issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Muscle Atrophy after Buttock Augmentation Using Implants Fernando Serra, MD, and colleagues of Pedro Ernesto University Hospital, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, evaluated changes in the gluteus muscle in women undergoing placement of silicone implants to improve the shape of the buttocks. This and other approaches to buttock augmentation surgery have become increasingly popular in recent years. Comparing preoperative and follow-up CT scans, the researchers found significant muscle atrophy after implant placement. The volume of the gluteus muscle was reduced by about six percent, although there was no associated change in muscle strength. Atrophy may be at least partly related to "intrinsic compression" of the muscle by the implants. There was evidence that the women started to regain muscle volume after three months--possibly reflecting return to exercise and other activities after recovery from the … Continue reading →
