Three men have revealed how cosmetic surgery has changed their lives for the better, in a feature published by The Sun online today.
Lee Hudson, 37, Justin Critchley, 40, and Tony Lewkowicz, 27, all shared their experience of male cosmetic surgery and explained how the profound impacts the results have had.
Botox and surgical procedures including tummy tucks are topping the list of many people’s wish lists this Christmas.
Surgeons in Orange County, America, have noted a rise in the number of patients opting for non-surgical treatments and surgical procedures in the run-up to Christmas. One such example is Tina Franklin, a resident in Orange County, who has put Botox on her Christmas list because she wants to start the New Year feeling ‘fresh’.
Ms Franklin’s older sister Nicole Tuzzolino obliged her sister’s request and paid $650 (£415) for the treatment.
For patients who are considering a tummy tuck procedure, now is the time to go ahead if the results are to be fully visible by the time summer arrives.
Dr Sam Economou, a practising plastic surgeon, diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, says now is the perfect time to undergo tummy tuck surgery if patients can’t bear the thought of spending another summer with a figure they are not confident with.
Dr Economou says that tummy tuck patients are more often than not women whose abdominal wall has been stretched due to pregnancy, but he says he also treats a lot of men and women who have been left with excess skin after significant weight loss.
Winner of reality television show The Biggest Loser has opted to undergo a tummy tuck to complete her weight loss transformation.
Olivia Ward, winner of The Biggest Loser Season 11, was left with large amounts of loose skin following her dramatic weight loss as a contestant on the programme. The show follows the progress of contestants who are morbidly obese and who have failed to lose weight by themselves, and the results are often dramatic.
A survey has revealed that almost half of women would consider cosmetic surgery to correct features that they are not happy with.
The poll of 3,000 women aged between 18 and 30 years old found that 43.5 per cent of women who had ever been teased or bullied would consider cosmetic surgery to increase their self-confidence. Nearly half (47.45 per cent) of those women asked said they had been teased or bullied at some point in their lives.
Birds of a Feather actress Pauline Quirke this week announced that she has lost seven stone in six months, sparking advice from one newspaper on cosmetic surgery after weight loss.
The Scottish Sunday Express online published advice for people who have lost a significant amount of weight, which looked at the problem of excess skin – a problem which cannot be solved by diet and exercise.
The majority of so-called baby boomers are happy with the way they look and feel, but 12 per cent would consider having cosmetic surgery to boost their confidence.
These are the findings of a poll conducted by LifeGoesStrong.com, a website for boomers with healthy and active lifestyles. Approximately one in four of those asked worry that things will harder for them as they grow older than it was for the previous generation.
Last night’s episode of Embarrassing Fat Bodies provided some comfort for women whose overly large breasts cause them discomfort and low self-esteem.
Episode two of the new series, which follows the same format as the original Embarrassing Bodies show, saw a range of weight-related problems, including a 21-year-old mother of one with J-cup breasts.
The young mum went to the doctors with a problem that had been getting her down for years – her huge breasts. Each one weighed the same as approximately four bags of sugar and caused her to suffer from severe back pain, made it very difficult to find clothes, and stopped her from being able to run around in the park with her son.
Breast reduction surgery was recommended as the only treatment and her delight in the resulting D-cup breasts was clear. She looked much more confident and happy, and told doctors that she cried with happiness following the surgery, which she said had changed her life completely.
Other patients who featured on the show underwent cosmetic surgery treatments such as tummy tuck surgery to remove excess skin after weight loss.
Cosmetic surgeons have noticed a rise in the number of women enquiring about tummy tuck surgery, liposuction and breast augmentation in the run up to summer.
New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr Christopher Godek, said: “Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of women choosing plastic surgery to help them remove signs of pregnancy and childbirth so they look better in summer wear.
“Sometimes this series of procedures is known as the ‘Mommy Makeover.’ It combines a tummy tuck with liposuction and breast augmentation.”
Experts are advising that women considering these procedures book in soon, to give them enough time to have fully recovered before they slip on their summer clothes. Surgeons also recommend that only those women who are not planning to have any more children undergo the combination of procedures, and that these women should be close to their ideal weight and be in full health.
