Droopy Earlobes

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Nobody thinks about their ears, and especially their earlobes - until there’s a problem with them. Let’s face it. Most of us don’t bother taking care of our ears. We wear heavy earrings and don’t put sunscreen on them even though they’re constantly exposed to the sun. So, it should come as no surprise when our earlobes start to droop with age. There’s no need to fret, though. Otoplasty can fix those droopy earlobes in a simple outpatient procedure performed at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic’s state-of-the-art surgical centre.

From Norma Jean to Marilyn Monroe

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

When Norma Jean became Marilyn Monroe, it wasn’t just her name that she changed. She went from an innocent brunette to a sultry blonde, and she may also have undergone rhinoplasty. Informal reports have suggested that she had a nose job in the late 1940s to change the shape of the tip of her nose. It went from round and more prominent to less bulbous and delicate.

Before and after pictures seem to confirm reports, but we’ll never know for sure!

The flailing economy south of the border has begun to take its toll on the cosmetic surgery industry. With a possible recession in sight, people have been cutting back on spending, and one of the first things to go to maintain a stringent budget is undergoing cosmetic surgery treatments.

Fortunately, the economy isn’t doing so bad up here in Canada, allowing many people who want to improve their aesthetic appearance to do so without qualm.

10 Every Year

Friday, May 9th, 2008

In a recent study by Swedish researchers, the number of fat cells in the human body were found to remain consistent since childhood. The study also showed every year in adulthood, 10% of fat cells die but are replaced with new ones. Since obesity and fat are two areas of intense interest at the moment, these are pretty significant findings that are rocking the scientific world.

Which brings us to liposuction. The researchers are also exploring whether the number of fat cells would be affected by liposuction. Currently, we know that any fat cells removed by this cosmetic procedure can’t generally be replaced by the body. When they’re gone, they’re gone forever. Hopefully this new study will support this.

We’ll keep you updated on the latest findings.

Cellulite Treatment - In the Past

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Women have been battling cellulite for years. While Endermologie is a preferred treatment for those unsightly dimples these days, this cosmetic innovation has only been around since the late 1970s, gaining international reputation a decade later.

Years before Endermologie, women in Europe dealt with cellulite by less technological means. They went to a masseuse to knead that cellulite away. The massage would entail a session of deep squeezing, prodding, rubbing and grinding with expert palms and fingers to break down the pockets of trapped toxins, fat and fluids that cellulite is comprised of. This stimulated blood flow to the area so that the body could gradually get rid of the cellulite by its own waste processes. Needless to say, a cellulite massage was quite intense and often left the treated area bruised and battered. But, according to reports, it did apparently work.

Endermologie basically works on the same premise, but is performed by a patented device. There may be some bruising and discomfort, but most likely not as much as a massage performed by a masseuse.
