One of the biggest downsides to having cosmetic surgery is the problem of scarring. Although some scars will disappear over a period of a year to 18 months, around a third of scars tend to be permanent and this can mean being left with unsightly marks or a hard raised ridge of tissue as a reminder of your plastic surgery.
When you ask people to name the tell-tale parts of the body to look at when determining a lady’s age, most people will point to the woman’s hands and neck. However the earlobes are also another sign of a person’s true age.
Just as with any other part of the body, the earlobe will go through the natural ageing process. The earlobe is also constantly exposed to the sun and there are few people who will remember to apply sunscreen to their ears when applying it to the rest of their body!
BRAND NEW TABOO-BREAKING SERIES – The Secret Guide to Women’s Health (working title) hosted by Coleen Nolan
The secret guide to women’s health is a new taboo-breaking series that aims to dispel the myths surrounding health issues affecting women. We are looking for women from all over the UK to talk about their problems to raise awareness and get others talking.
Could the Oralift, a plastic mouthguard, be the answer to looking ten years younger without cosmetic surgery? According to inventor London dentist Dr Nick Mohindra, this plastic mouthguard can help patients look younger by sculpturing their faces.
The Oralift is claimed can do many different things including:
Anti-cellulite leggings look set to become the fastest selling product at high street department store John Lewis.
John Lewis began stocking Scala bio-fir knickers earlier this year and many shoppers flocked to buy the garment. Scala bio-fir knickers are said to help reduce the look of dimpled skin and help reduce levels of cellulite.
When the underwear initially went on sale, it became the store’s quickest selling piece of lingerie shifting 25,000 items a month.
A new cosmetic surgery procedure could banish ‘muffin tops’ forever. Muffin tops, named after the shape of the cake-like product, is the colloquial term for the rolls of fat that sit over the tops of women’s jeans and skirts. Unsightly muffin tops are more prevalent than ever thanks to low cut jeans and the fashion for wearing tight-clothing.
A new cosmetic surgery technique could see unwanted fat from other areas of a patient’s body being used to form natural breast implants.
Dubbed the ‘two-in-one’ operation, cosmetic surgeons first remove fat from unwanted areas such as the thighs, stomach and hips and transplant this fat into the breast area to enhance and enlarge the breasts.
The cosmetic surgery will be available in the UK for the first time early next year thanks to cosmetic surgery company the Harley Medical Group.
