Cosmopolitan Magazine

For decades, fashion models have been getting “tweaked” by skilled plastic surgeons who know exactly how to give them that sexy, smoldering and commercially-viable look. Today, plastic surgery is safer than ever before, so you can get the Cosmo look with a little help from a board-certified plastic surgeon, and with very little risk of side effects or complications.

Here are the best procedures for a Cosmo-worthy face and body…

Rhinoplasty – Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty plastic surgery is often the key to a cover girl face. Countless models have revamped their faces via rhinoplasty, and so have a lot of actresses who’ve graced Cosmopolitan‘s cover (including Jennifer Aniston).  A nose job from a board-certified plastic surgeon (never hire a plastic surgeon who doesn’t have this important credential) will cost about eight to nine thousand dollars, but it may just change your life.

When you have the perfect, doll-like nose, you’ll look fabulous, and you’ll have a much closer resemblance to the ladies on Cosmo‘s pages.

Liposuction – Models in Cosmopolitan Magazine are fit, but curvy, and they often get liposuction to make sure that their curves stay in perfect balance. For example, models who are naturally a bit too pear-shaped will get liposuction on the hips, belly and thighs to contour these trouble spots and balance their proportions. If your trouble spots are resistant to diet and exercise, liposuction may be the answer. Liposuction prices start around $1,500.00 and rise for larger surface areas. As long as you maintain a healthy diet and get some exercise after this plastic surgery procedure, your results will last for years, and you’ll finally have the sleek, sexy model look.

Botox – Some procedures performed by plastic surgeons don’t require local or general anesthetic, and Botox injections that smooth away wrinkles fall into this category. You can get Botox shots at any reputable plastic surgeon’s office, and you’ll be back out on the street moments later. There is little pain or discomfort, so getting these injections is easy and pleasant. Once you’ve gotten Botox, it will take about a week before the “troubled” look of brow furrows and crow’s feet disappears. Your smooth, youthful new face will last for three to four months.

Now that you know the secret of getting the Cosmo look with plastic surgery, why not make an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon today?

Today, men are comfortable enough in their own masculinity to embrace cosmetic surgery, and that’s a good thing. After all, plastic surgery is very empowering, as long as men choose the right plastic surgeons. Results from men’s plastic surgery may be life-changing, as it really boosts confidence and self-esteem. Guys may even find that their relationships and careers are more successful after they undergo procedures.

Today, men from all walks of life and income brackets are treating themselves to plastic surgery operations that leave them with younger, more refined looking faces and toned, tighter bodies. Since plastic surgery has less stigma than ever before, it’s a perfect solution for men who are feeling the effects of aging and gravity. Of course, it’s also available to younger men who want to change their features or make the most of their natural attributes with a little (or a lot) of body contouring.

If you’re a man who’s interested in getting plastic surgery, you should know that there are a wealth of procedures that will help you to feel like your best self, no matter what age you are.

Here are some great plastic surgery options for males:

Botox – If you want to explore the world of anti-aging skin treatments without actually going under the knife, Botox will be just right for you. This procedure, which features injections that smooth away expression lines on the forehead, between the brows, and under the eyes, should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Botox costs about three hundred dollars per session, and results last for about three months.

Liposuction – Sometimes, diet and exercise just don’t melt away fat from trouble spots, such as the belly, thighs, and upper arms. With the power of liposuction plastic surgery, men are able to enjoy expert contouring of almost any body part (even double chins may be eradicated with liposuction). Prices for lipo, which features fat-suctioning through a small steel tube, begin around $1,500.00 and rise for larger surface areas. Recovery times vary, but, usually, patients are up and around within days of their surgeries. Since liposuction also collapses fat cells after surgery, the results keep coming, and once-flabby body parts become sleek, smooth and youthful-looking.

Face Lift – A face lift is the ultimate weapon against aging, as it pulls up facial skin to give the face a dramatically younger look. This form of invasive plastic surgery will cost at least six thousand dollars, but it will provide very long-lasting results. Men who don’t want full face lifts may also consider brow lifts or eye lifts that target saggy or aging areas. Recovery from a face lift will take at least several weeks, and results will shave ten to fifteen years off of the face.

Now that you know the hottest plastic surgery procedures for men, why not book a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon today?

While push-up bras and “chicken cutlet” pads are often used to create the illusion of fullness, it’s entirely possible that Kristen, who has a naturally lean and boyish body, did opt for new breast implants.

Many Hollywood actresses will do whatever it takes to have the ideal body. This means that actresses who aren’t particularly well-endowed often hire skilled plastic surgeons to help them achieve the perfect hourglass silhouettes. Since Kristen is growing up and seeking out more adult roles, she may have wanted a more womanly body in order to open up more opportunities in the industry.

The best breast augmentations are quite subtle and natural, and they create the ultimate sexy look without appearing too obvious or fake. Since Kristen’s new breast look is keeping everyone guessing, she likely hired one of the world’s best board-certified plastic surgeons to give her impressive results that don’t scream, “plastic surgery”.

Kristen Stewart is the Subject of Plenty of Gossip and Controversy

Kristen Stewart is one of the most famous young actresses in the world, and she is also a lightning rod for controversy. Throughout her relatively short career, the actress has been dogged with lesbian rumors, and she’s also been linked with her Twilight co-star, Robert Pattison. Many people believe that her romance with Pattison is merely a “showmance”, which is Hollywood parlance for a fake relationship that is designed to quell rumors and boost the images of both parties.

Whatever the truth, it’s safe to say that Kristen will remain the subject of Hollywood gossip for years to come, due to her Twilight fame alone.

If you want a fuller breast look, like Stewart’s new look, you can get it with the help of a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. Today’s best plastic surgery practitioners are able to place round or teardrop-shaped breast implants under the skin for a sexy and natural look. Breast implant plastic surgery costs about seven to eight thousand dollars, and silicone gel or saline breast implants may last for up to thirty years. As an investment in your own self-esteem, breast implants are truly second to none.

In the eighties, when times were good, mini-skirts and conspicuous spending were all the rage. In the nineties hemlines dropped as fast as the stock markets as fashion reflected the dreary economy. Indeed some interesting research has been undertaken which demonstrates that skirt lengths and glamor levels have often been seen as indicators of the economic situation.

Interestingly, today’s women are bucking these trends and, in the face of tough conditions, are spending their sometimes scarce resources on dressing to impress.  This trend is also being seen by plastic surgeons with procedures continuing to grow in popularity, even in the face of rising unemployment and economic instability. The reasons for this are thought-provoking.

New research suggests that women are focused on making themselves more attractive to the dwindling pool of men with good jobs.  The competition for a partner with good prospects is fierce.  This may make depressing reading for those who would like to see more equality between the sexes but, cultural norms and celebrity culture being what they are, it is not perhaps that surprising.

The research team at Texas Christian University have called this trend the ‘lipstick effect’

‘We may not consciously think we’re buying them to make ourselves more desirable to men. But our lizard brains go after these things even when we think we’re too smart to be lured in by manipulative advertising claims like, ‘these jeans will help get you a man.’ Says Sarah Hill, co-author of the study Tough times, short skirts: When the economy is bad women spend more on their looks.

Another interesting element to the research is that men are not following their female partners in this regard.  While men are increasingly interested in looking younger, and are undergoing growing numbers of cosmetic surgeries, it is for different reasons.  Men are not seeking well-paid partners but instead are improving their appearance in order to remain competitive in the shrinking jobs market.

Currently, researchers are noting a link between social networking numbers and rising plastic surgery numbers. In most cases, people who post pictures of themselves online and then move toward plastic surgery indicate that they feel self-conscious about their faces because they inspect them so closely whenever they see their own social networking profiles.

It does make sense. These days, our online profile pic is often something that we see multiple times every day, and our profile pictures are shown every time that we “like” a comment, link or picture on Facebook. In addition, when anyone re-tweets our tweets on Twitter, we receive a message that shows our own profile photo.

Therefore, people may be confronted with their own images (and flaws) almost continually throughout the day and night. Sometimes, the desire to look different or “better” is just too strong to resist.

Plastic Surgery is Safer Than Ever Before

Another element of increased plastic surgery numbers is the fact that plastic surgery operations are safer than ever before. Whether social networking aficianadoes want nose jobs, face liposuction, lip augmentations, Botox, or anything else that a plastic surgeon can provide, they know that they have every chance of getting great results without any side effects or complications.

In the past, the image of plastic surgery may have been different, and people may have felt frightened to “go under the knife”. Today, the prevalence of plastic surgery (which is chosen by many of the hottest celebrities and models) has removed any fears or stigma. People don’t have the same degree of hesitation when it comes to signing on for procedures that will give them the ultimate Facebook or Twitter profile photo.

If you’re interested in improving the look of your face with plastic surgery, be very careful to choose the best plastic surgeon that you can afford. Plastic surgery should be affordable, but very cheap plastic surgery may be a “red flag”. After all, plastic surgeons spend years learning their crafts, and they will charge for their skill level and sense of aesthetics. While some will always seek out “budget plastic surgery“, they may regret it in the long run.

If you want a more appealing Facebook photo and a more attractive face, do what’s best by hiring a board-certified plastic surgeon.

By transferring fat from chubby areas and then injecting it into areas that need more fullness (such as the breasts), today’s most skilled and innovative plastic surgeons are offering patients two procedures for the price of one.

At the moment, fat transfer plastic surgery is quite expensive, but prices for this new cosmetic surgery operation may come down in the future. Currently, plastic surgeons are using fat transfer techniques to provide their patients with natural breast augmentation. By injecting fat that is harvested from the woman’s own body into the breasts, a plastic surgeon creates full, sexy breasts without needing to add silicone gel breast implants or saline breast implants.

Women who’ve always wanted larger breasts, but fear any health risks or complications from breast implant surgery, will be ideal candidates for fat transfer plastic surgery of this type. They will also appreciate the way that the fat-harvesting process leaves another part of their body, such as the belly, hips or thighs, in lean, sleek condition. Patients who can afford fat transfer plastic surgery right now will also enjoy knowing that their breasts are made fuller with organic material that comes from their own body, rather than manufactured substances.

However, this form of plastic surgery does have some minor drawbacks. Since fat tends to be re-absorbed into the body, results from these types of plastic surgery operations may not be as long-lasting as those enjoyed after more conventional types of plastic surgery. Weighing the pros and cons of this form of plastic surgery, versus traditional plastic surgery, will be an important part of making a wise and informed decision about whether or not a fat transfer procedure is right for you.

This type of plastic surgery offers a promising glimpse of a whole new cosmetic surgery landscape. To find out if this type of procedure will suit your needs, be sure to book a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. You should look for a doctor who has experience doing fat transfer procedures for his or her patients.

Since many ladies who frequent bingo halls tend to showcase their very “curvy” arms while they play the game, the phrase “Bingo wings” was (affectionately?) coined in their honor.

If you’re sick and tired of your own “Bingo wings”, you should know that you don’t have to resign yourself to living life with flabby, less-than-toned upper arms. With the help of liposuction, you may enjoy lean, sleek arms that give you the elegant, supermodel look! It’s not just a pipe dream, as long as you choose liposuction plastic surgery that is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Important Facts about Upper Arm Liposuction

For best results, you should understand what is possible. In general, liposuction will remove a few pounds, rather than a whole ton of weight. Therefore, it’s ideal for the upper arm region, where you’re only likely to carry a few extra pounds under each arm. Fat deposits between the skin and muscle layers will be suctioned out through a thin metal tube, creating thinner arms in an instant. Another benefit of liposuction for “Bingo wings” is the way that leftover fat cells in your upper arms will “collapse” after your operation. Over time, this safe collapsing of fat cells will lead to an even sleeker, more contoured arm look that banishes “Bingo wings” from your life forever!

The cost of upper arm liposuction is an investment in your own self-esteem. Instead of shielding your hated Bingo wings in long-sleeved, baggy tops that really do your figure no favours, why not flaunt your slim and delightfully feminine arms in sleeveless tops, halter sundresses, and tank tops with tiny spaghetti straps? Women who pay for this form of liposuction enjoy feelings of liberation after plastic surgery, as they are no longer enslaved by their hatred of their own upper arms. Life is short, so why not become your best self with plastic surgery that literally sucks the flab right out of your Bingo wings?

You may expect to pay between fifteen hundred dollars and five thousand dollars to get rid of your Bingo wings. If you do opt for this plastic surgery procedure, be certain to choose a great plastic surgeon who has proven expertise in this area. Recovery from liposuction is usually complete within a few weeks; for several days after surgery, you may need to stay home and baby yourself. However, plastic surgeons prescribe painkillers and compression garments to ease their patients through recovery from upper arm liposuction.

If you want to look younger, but you’re not quite ready for a full face lift, a brow lift procedure may be just perfect for you. To help you learn more about this plastic surgery procedure, we’ve compiled some helpful facts related to brow lift operations.

The first thing that you need to know about a brow lift is that is raises the brow and eyebrows, thereby conquering the effects of aging and gravity. As we get older, our skin loses elasticity, and the brow is a very mobile area. Since it gets such a workout everyday as you express yourself by raising your eyebrows or furrowing your brow, it is very subject to sagging and lines that make you look much older than you feel.

A brow lift is a terrific way to get a younger, fresher look that lasts much longer than Botox injections. Since Botox is temporary, it’s ability to lift and smooth wears off after just a few months. The effects of brow lift surgery last for years, and you don’t need to schedule touch-ups with your plastic surgeon to keep the look that you want. Brow lifts are available for men and women.

There are different ways to do a brow lift operation. One procedure is known as an endobrow lift, and it’s performed using a tool called an endoscope. Another popular type of brow lift is an open brow lift (also called a temporal lift). All of these operations will rectify sagging in the brow area, upper eyelids, and eyebrows.

When you schedule one of these operations (a reputable, board-certified plastic surgeon will recommend what is best for you), he or she will reorient your brow tissues, and then take away muscle and tissue that cause lines and sagging. Some people get other procedures while undergoing brow lifts (such as nose jobs). Usually, patients will be charged about five to seven thousand dollars for brow lifts, and recoveries from plastic surgery will be complete in several weeks. Most patients will be up and around, taking care of most daily activities, within a couple of weeks of surgery.

Now that you know more about brow lift plastic surgery, you will be ready to make a wise and informed decision about choosing this effective anti-aging procedure.

The goal of pectoral implantation is to create a masculine, impressive chest that is in perfect balance with the rest of the body. Since men often strain their chests during exercise and exertion, there is always the risk of pectoral implants becoming damaged and leaking or rupturing as a result.

The best way to minimize the risks of adverse side effects from this form of plastic surgery operation is to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who really knows what he or she is doing. It’s always a mistake to seek out plastic surgery procedures from plastic surgeons who aren’t properly credentialed.

In addition, any plastic surgeon that you choose for your pectoral implants should have plenty of experience with this particular procedure. The goal should be a natural result; after all, no guy wants to look as though he’s had female breast implants.

Pectoral Implant Facts

Pectoral implants are usually crafted from soft, supple, durable silicone. These implants will be “harder” in texture than women’s silicone breast implants, which are usually filled with silicone gel. Male implants are meant to mimic flatter tissue and masculine muscle tone, so they have a different composition that gives them a realistic, natural look once placed in a man’s body.

The cost of these types of plastic surgery implants will usually be in the five to nine thousand dollar range, depending on which plastic surgeon a man chooses. The price of a procedure will include the plastic surgeon’s fee, the cost of anesthesia, the facility charge, and any related expenses.

Implants will last for at least a decade and may be good for up to thirty years. Recovery times for pectoral implants range from four weeks to six weeks, and plastic surgeons will offer prescription pain relievers and special compression garments which help to ease discomfort and promote proper healing after surgery.

Now that you know more about pectoral implants plastic surgery, you’ll be ready to make a wise and informed decision about whether or not this procedure is right for you.
