cosmetic surgery news

If contemplating cosmetic surgery it is important to stay in tune with all the latest cosmetic surgery news. Recently highlighted is the "Scar less" facelift procedure, which uses hidden incisions behind the hairline and inside the mouth, eliminating many of the telltale signs of more facial surgery techniques, such as shortened sideburns, step-offs in the hairline, pixie ears, and wide, visible scars behind the ears. A lot has been made of the cosmetic surgery news which focused on lunch-time facelift procedures, which is achieved by placing anti-drooping suturing threads underneath the skin surface. These face threads serve as a truss to elevate a drooping jowl, brow or sagging cheek pad. The cosmetic plastic surgery procedure thread has bi-directional knot-like barbs that hook tissue and lift it into place with more stability than conventional sutures. Why this made cosmetic surgery news was the fact that, depending on the number of facial areas to be treated, the procedure takes about 30 minutes; hence the referral to lunch-time. Also in the cosmetic surgery news is confirmation that in order to avoid patient confusion in selecting a qualified cosmetic surgeon, it is illegal in the State of California for a physician to advertise as being board certified unless that board is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), or is deemed to be equivalent to an ABMS board by the Medical Board of California.
