Adolescent girls worry about fitting in and feeling confident in their bodies. Cosmetic surgeries like rhinoplasty have long been a favorite of teen girls who want to enhance their appearance and feel more at ease with their looks. Recently, teenagers have started seeking plastic surgery for more intimate body areas. Labiaplasty, the trimming and shaping of the labia, has seen a marked increase in demand from teenage girls.

The procedure has been requested so often that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued guidance to doctors earlier this year from its Committee on Adolescent Health Care about educating patients who are seeking genital surgery. Generally, labiaplasty is requested by older women who have given birth or who suffer discomfort from enlarged labia. Labiaplasty can help these patients feel more comfortable in clothing, such as tight yoga pants, and increase sexual satisfaction along with providing a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Younger women who are interested in the procedure should discuss their options with their plastic surgeon and educated themselves on the variety of shapes and sizes that are considered normal for female anatomy.

Are you interested in the benefits that labiaplasty can provide?

The National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention has declared May 27 “Don’t Fry Day” to encourage sun safety awareness as we head into Memorial Day weekend, the official kickoff to the summer season for most of us.

With warmer weather comes the increased risk for ultraviolet (UV) damage to the skin as most Americans spend more time in the great outdoors. Follow these tips for taking care of your skin in the sun:

• Apply sunscreen before heading outside (broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher)
• Wear protective clothing such as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and longer sleeves and skirts or pants
• Seek shade whenever possible

For those who cannot imagine living through a summer without the appearance of sun-kissed skin, try a bronzing lotion like Reese Witherspoon sported for the Oscars last year or keep your eye out for advances in technology that will make tanning beds a thing of the past.

Scientists recently identified two molecules that activate cellular receptors to induce skin tanning or lightening without UV exposure. Topical creams based on these molecules could be used to darken your skin. Of course, clinical studies must be completed to confirm the safety of these creams before they hit the market.

If you have been considering plastic surgery, you may be asking yourself this question. What will changing your physical appearance really do for your self-esteem?

You aren’t the only one to question what effects enhancing your body will have on your life. In recent years, psychologists have been conducting research to answer these questions. In a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers determined that physical attractiveness did not correlate directly to increased feelings of wellbeing.[1] 

However, newer studies indicate that as self-perception of attractiveness increases so does general happiness. In a study published in Clinical Psychological Science, researchers found that on average, people who had chosen plastic surgery felt healthier, less anxious, developed more self-esteem, and found their body more attractive than those who had not chosen plastic surgery.[2] A review of the literature[3] on the psychological outcomes of patients undergoing cosmetic surgery revealed that realistic expectations along with other factors played a key role in whether the patient felt a boost to wellbeing following their procedure.

If you feel insecure about the size of your penis, you aren’t alone. Almost every man at some point has questioned his length or girth. And celebrity selfies, like we saw from Usher last week, can leave you wondering how you measure up.

Not surprisingly, one study reported in the Journal of Sex Medicine found that among the hundreds of male military personnel (all under 40) that the researchers interviewed, a lack of confidence in the appearance of their genitalia resulted in sexual anxiety and could even lead to sexual dysfunction.

At Allure Plastic Surgery, we understand that penis size is a serious concern for your sexual and overall wellbeing. Along with non-surgical options, we offer patients surgical alternatives to enhance the appearance of the penis.

The three basic penis enlargement surgeries:

• Lengthen the penis by releasing the ligament that suspends the penis, which reveals more of the length of the penis. The use of weights or stretching devices is required daily for a few months after this procedure to prevent reattachment.
• Widen the penis by implanting fat, silicone, or tissue grafts.
• Reveal more of the penis by removing excess sagging skin from the pubic region. Liposuction can be used in addition to remove excess fat from the region to reveal additional length.

We have had success with all of these procedures for many male patients. With male enhancement surgery, subtle changes can make a big difference. Male enhancement surgery works not only to improve the appearance of your penis, but to improve your outlook on your sexual capabilities and avoid humiliations like sexual anxiety and erectile dysfunction.

During your consultation, we will listen to your specific concerns and your plastic surgeon will recommend the best procedure to help you achieve the results you are looking for.

In a recent survey by The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 64% of plastic surgeons reported a marked increase in the number of patients under 30 who are choosing to undergo procedures. What are all these Millennials requesting?

BOTOX®

The rise of the selfie has prompted many young women and men to visit plastic surgeons’ offices to erase the signs of aging in their faces. Wanting to appear youthful and vibrant on social media is a motivating factor for many Millenials, and they aren’t afraid to talk about it.

Brazilian Butt Lift

2014 may have been deemed “the year of the booty,” but with this trend showing no signs of fading, this may be the decade of the booty. Stars like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj are still admired for their curvaceous figures and fans remain eager to copy their curves with fat transfer procedures like the Brazilian Butt Lift. 

Breast Augmentation

The most popular procedure in the last twenty years is becoming one of the most requested procedures by Millenials who want to round out their curves with breast enhancements.
