Forehead Lift Surgery in New Jersey: No
More Looking Sad or Angry

Forehead Lift SurgeryDo you appear angry and sad to other people for no reason at all? As you age, the area above your eyes is prone to undesirable skin manifestations, such as: furrows on the forehead, severe wrinkles above the eyebrows, excess skin of the lower forehead, brow ptosis, and brow hooding. These visible signs of aging are like your trademark on the forehead as you reach the age of 40 to 60. In some cases, people as young as late 20s already carry with them frown lines or furrows. And truly, these aging developments on your forehead can make you look angry, sad and tired – even if you aren’t really feeling that way.

A forehead lift, sometimes called brow lift surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that can significantly diminish, if not erase, those irritating lines and folds you see on your forehead. The surgery is also intended to lift drooping brows (in turn, minimizing frown lines) by removing or fixing the muscles and tissues that caused the drooping in the first place. Moreover, a brow lift surgery can improve inherited conditions in the eyebrows, including low and heavy brow. Once undertaken properly, the forehead surgery will bring you back to your more refreshing and vibrant self. By then you may no longer worry about looking angry and sad to other people for no apparent reason.

In performing brow lift surgeries, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Larry Weinstein will see to it that incisions are very minimal, if not perfectly hidden behind the hairline. At the minimum, Dr. Weinstein will deliver forehead lift surgery results that include: smoother forehead, lifted upper eyelids, and considerable reduction of frown lines. On your end, the essential key to a successful brow lift is your honest-to-goodness communication during consultation with Dr. Weinstein. Foremost is to lay down all your expectations on the surgery. Reveal to Dr. Weinstein your true medical condition, and the medications you are taking presently. Take note as well of the specific surgery techniques and anesthetics to be used, as well as their potential risks. Furthermore, be mindful of the recovery procedures and tips from Dr. Weinstein in order for you to recover fast and get back to normal routine – with smoother and younger forehead skin this time around.

The Art of Aging Gracefully

Aging, no matter what one does to delay its arrival, is always inevitable. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Larry Weinstein offers his expertise in both surgical and non-surgical alternatives to combat aging at his lovely clinic in Chester, New Jersey. Although a New York facelift session will surely make you look better sans the wrinkles and fine lines, Dr. Weinstein believes that youthful glow can be completely restored through aging gracefully.

Read on below on how to age with bliss and grace!

Get Real

The key to actually aging well is all about getting hold of reality, accepting such fact, and moving on without hard feelings. When a woman notices the first signs of fine lines and wrinkles, panic is the most common reaction. Most of us have been conditioned that happiness is actually synonymous to youthfulness. However, it is relatively important for us to realize that much of happiness is actually felt rather than seen. No matter what you do, your skin will eventually lose its elasticity. Your hot chic days may have passed but you can still continue to feel great!

Age with Mother Nature

Although beauty products are great alternatives to erase years off your face, you might also want to make use of the natural resources around you. The age old advice of staying hydrated by drinking lots of water still applies. This will help your skin retain its natural elasticity.

You might be avoiding the outdoors as part of your anti-wrinkle plan. However, you can actually enjoy the outdoors and delay wrinkle formation at the same time by wearing high-quality sunscreen every day. Do not just rely on cosmetics with sunscreen component as this may not be enough. For optimal protection against premature aging, use unscented SPF 15 and apply generously.

You Are What You Eat

Proper eating and a balanced diet are also critical to fighting off aging. Women are more likely to gain weight as they age so a relatively active lifestyle should complement your healthy diet. You can speak to your doctor or consult a nutritionist to find out more about your dietary needs which is also suitable for your age.

Your Breast Augmentation Scarring Guide

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery revealed that breast augmentation owns the top spot amongst the top cosmetic surgeries for women in 2011. This should not be a surprise as more and more women these days are opening their selves to the idea of highlighting their assets via cosmetic surgery.

The latest technological advancements in the aforementioned field has also convinced these women that going under the knife is not scary at all. There are various reasons why these women choose to have a New York breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Larry Weinstein. However, these ladies would often ask, will there be scarring?

Very Minimal Scarring with Dr. Weinstein

Any skin incision will cause scarring of some type. However, highly experienced surgeons such as Dr. Weinstein will always attempt to make the stitching as neat and small as possible to avoid scarring. Before the surgery, you may be shown photos of Dr. Weinstein’s previous works to guarantee that there will be very minimal appearance of scars.

Keloid vs. Hypertrophic Scars

A bright pink scar may appear a few days after the surgery. Severe scarring may occur in two forms – keloid and hypertrophic scars. The former occurs when the scar appears red, raised and extends beyond the region of the original incision. A keloid scar is often the result of too much collagen production during the healing phase. On the other hand, a hypertrophic scar often confines itself within the site of incision.

Post-Surgical Instructions

Unwanted scarring could be prevented by carefully following post-surgical instructions provided by Dr. Weinstein. A combination of factors such as genetics, overall health and current medical conditions could influence the formation of scarring. You should also try to avoid smoking after a breast augmentation procedure as it could reduce the body’s ability to heal quickly and properly.

You might also want to apply sunscreen to greatly diminish the likelihood of scarring as well as avoid further damage. Although the breast area may not be that exposed to the sun, this instruction is still valuable come summertime.
