What is Plastic Surgery? Just because the name includes the word "plastic" doesn't mean patients who have this surgery end up with a face full of "fake stuff". The name isn't taken from the synthetic substance but from the Greek word plastikos, which means to form or mold (and which gives plastic its name as well).
Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that involves both a person's appearance and his or her ability to function. Plastic surgeons strive to improve patients' appearance, self image, and confidence through both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.
- Reconstructive procedures correct defects on the face or body. These include physical birth defects like cleft lips & palates and ear deformities, traumatic injuries like those from dog bites or burns, or the aftermath of disease treatments like rebuilding a woman's breast after surgery for breast cancer.
- Cosmetic (also called aesthetic) procedures alter a part of the body that the person is not satisfied with. Common cosmetic procedures include making the breasts larger (augmentation mammoplasty) or smaller (reduction mammoplasty), reshaping the nose (rhinoplasty), and removing pockets of fat from specific spots on the body (liposuction) and the face lift. Some cosmetic procedures aren't even surgical in the way that most people think of surgery - that is, cutting and stitching. For example, the use of special lasers to remove unwanted hair and injections or sanding skin to improve severe scarring are two such treatments.
The Lifestyle Lift is great. My husband is so happy that I received the lifestyle lift. It is an amazing procedure. It only took about one hour for the lifestyle lift! The Lifestyle Lift was done under Local anesthetic (similar to a dentist). The Lifestyle Lift has minimal bruising and swelling and is affordable.
August 20, 2007 – A noteworthy milestone was attained today for Lifestyle Lift as the 80,000th client received a more procedure. With 80,000 clients, the highly televised Lifestyle Lift remains poised to become the world’s leading alternative to traditional facial plastic surgery.
Lifestyle Lift was founded by Dr. David Kent (a board certified facial plastic surgeon). Lifestyle Lift specifically works to help remove wrinkles in the face, excess skin in the jowls along the jaw line, and sagging in the neck.
In addition to its remarkable age-defying results, the Lifestyle Lift is performed under local anesthesia, instead of general anesthesia, and generally takes about one hour to safely complete the procedure. The Lifestyle Lift works by removing excess fat in the face and neck, while tightening the muscles that have over time begun to droop and sag.
Staff surgeons who are specially trained to conduct the procedure are located in state-of-the-art Lifestyle Lift facilities across the country. Many Lifestyle Lift centers celebrated today’s ceremonial 80,000th client with special customer appreciation events going on this month that feature refreshments along with information about the doctors and this amazing procedure.
In addition to overseeing Lifestyle Lift, Dr. Kent also directs the Lifestyle Lift Foundation, a non-profit organization designed to provide services to children born with facial birth defects. The Lifestyle Lift Foundation has helped hundreds of children around the world live happier, healthier lives.
