Sexiest Part of the Body
March 18, 2013 - Rhys Branman, MD
Some say the sexiest part of the body is the breast, others say the buttocks, and others say the face! When ranked by women, cosmetic procedures most wanted to improve their sex life, breast augmentation comes out on top, followed by lip enhancement, and liposuction, then the famous Brazilian Butt lift . . . of course these were American women. How about in men? Strong arms? Strong chin? Full head of hair? But are anyone of those parts of the body the sexiest? Not sure? In a recent poll, only 53% of people rated the brain the sexiest part of... 
Companies constantly develop new cosmetic surgery products with names designed to catch your attention when they are splashed over the media. For instance, you may have heard of Zeltiq or Liposonix, new non-invasive liposuction techniques. The process of Liposonx uses focused ultrasound to heat the fat to 131 degrees Fahrenheit, which is then said to be removed by a process of phagocytosis where the white blood cells ingest foreign particles, the fat in this case. Whereas, Zeltiq or Cool Sculpting involves freezing the fat cells, which cause their death. The fat cells are then processed out of the body in... 
We have seen ads online offering dermal fillers for sale at cut rate prices. So have unscrupulous, and untrained people who are quite willing to make a buck offering you their services.

The United States is tougher on injectable fillers than other countries. For... 
It used to be that facelifts only involved the skin on the face. The surgeons, in the good old days, would simply cut the skin and pull and tighten the skin of the face. Hence the wind-blown look in the old movies, Hollywood Blvd? But the skin would fall again. There was nothing to support the skin with this kind of facelift. I'd like to talk about a few kinds of facelifts you might hear and wonder about. You may have heard of the "Thread Lift." This so called "non surgical facelift" is supposed to correct the sagging without surgery.... 
You may have noticed in my recovery blogs I mentioned Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery Center patients having liposuction, breast augmentation, or tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) would awake to find themselves wearing binders, tape, or compression garments. In doing my exploration of these products, I found a company called Veronique. From cotton breast wraps to torso binders, this company creates great products. During your surgery, I measure you to double check the perfect fit you will need, and you are supplied with the Veronique's compression garment appropriate for your surgery to wear going home. You may want to get a look at... 
Wondering what the forecast is looking like for cosmetic surgery in 2013? So was I, and this is what I found out. Aside from a few classic cosmetic surgeries that will always be in vogue, such as rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery, some aesthetically refining techniques have leapt to the forefront. Based on last year's trends, many have predicted that refining of cosmetic surgical techniques have become a main concern of patients. We all know that rhinoplasty at Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery Center, requires artistic sculpting of the nose, and we match a perfect nose to your face always taking your...
