A significant number of people who undergo weight loss surgery are unaware of the cosmetic follow-up procedures available to them.
According to research conducted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 75 percent of bariatric patients were unaware of body contouring, which can be used to help remove excess skin following rapid weight loss.
A plastic surgeon in America has opened a fat bank so that patients who have had liposuction surgery can store their fat and use it at a later date.
The move comes as fat transfer procedures – which see fat being taken from one area of the body and put into another to reshape particular body parts – rise in popularity.
An MP has spoken of his support for a service which aims to increase the safety of patients planning to undergo surgical procedures.
Colchester’s Bob Russell has encouraged his constituents, and people in general, to pay attention to the Treatments You Can Trust campaign, which publishes a register of practices which use properly qualified staff.
X Factor contestant Kitty Brucknell has revealed that she had liposuction in order to emulate her idol’s slim figure.
Brucknell, who wowed the judges with an acappela version of Lady Gaga’s Edge of Glory, was voted through to boot camp despite her strange antics.
Paparazzo Darryn Lyons has revealed the results of a cosmetically-enhanced “six-pack” on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother.
The reality television show, which has moved from Channel 4 to Five this year, is renowned for creating controversy and Lyons’ cosmetic surgery has certainly raised a few eyebrows. Lyons, 46, who was born in Australia but works full-time in the UK, took his shirt off in front of fellow housemates to reveal a washboard stomach.
The secret to looking good into your 50s is a combination of supplements and cosmetic treatments.
This is according to experts who appeared on the latest episode of the Dr Oz Show, which airs on American television. Experts on the show clarified that caring for and maintenance of older skin is very different to that of younger skin. Younger skin benefits from great skin care products, while older skin benefits from a simple skin care regime with minimal products. Using too many different products can cause irritation, redness and even acne on those aged 50 or more.
Bristol Palin, the daughter of American politician Sarah Palin, is yet to comment on claims she has undergone cosmetic surgery.
In an interview for the September issue of Playboy magazine, Mercede Johnston, sister of Levi Johnston, who is known for being Miss Palin’s ex-boyfriend and the father of her child, said: “She’s had numerous surgeries on her face, her chin twice or three times. Before Tripp [Palin’s son] was born she had liposuction here and liposuction elsewhere – where, I’m not supposed to say because Levi made me promise. And she had something else done after Tripp was born.”
Maria Fowler, one of the cast of ITV2’s reality television show The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) has been spotted attending a cosmetic surgery clinic.
Fowler has confirmed that she is considering having liposuction to remove a pocket of stubborn fat on her bottom, despite doubts from fans that she has an ounce of fat anywhere on her body. The 24-year-old stepped out with new boyfriend Craig Church having had a consultation ahead of possible liposuction treatment.
A cosmetic surgeon in New York City, US, has seen a huge rise in the number of requests from women for so-called ‘mummy makeovers’.
The popularity of the mummy makeover – the combination of tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, breast uplift and breast augmentation – is apparently growing among an increasingly younger age group. Where once surgeons performed such procedures on women in their 50s and 60s, Dr Matthew Schulman, assistant professor of plastic surgery at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in Manhattan, says he is seeing more and more women in their 30s and 40s.
Teenagers opt for nose and ear reshaping surgery, young adults choose breast augmentation, those entering middle age pick liposuction and eye bag removal is most popular with those in old age.
These are the findings of two sets of statistics – one from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), and the other from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). The Orange County Register pulled together the statistics, which focus entirely on female patients, and published ‘Plastic Surgery From Teenage to Old’ today.
