Amber Portwood, star of Teen Mom OG, recently underwent a mommy makeover surgery to reclaim her pre-pregnancy body after her weight loss. Amber took to Twitter to thank her fans for their support through her plastic surgery journey. She tweeted, “Everyone should feel good about their bodies. . . Thanks for the support.”

Amber isn’t the only Teen Mom star to turn to plastic surgery to feel more comfortable and confident with her body. Farrah Abraham has had several surgeries to enhance her appearance, including rhinoplasty, three breast augmentations, a chin implant, and lip injections.

Kailyn Lowry, star of Teen Mom 2, followed the growing trend of enhancing her backside. She got a Brazilian butt lift and a tummy tuck to contour her figure. She also got facial liposuction to contour her chin.

Briana DeJesus, star of Teen Mom 3, joined Kailyn in hopping on the buttock enhancement trend. Briana also underwent a Brazilian butt lift, along with a breast augmentation, liposuction, and labiaplasty. She proudly posted her results on Instagram for all of her fans to see.

November is National Healthy Skin Month. Celebrate by refreshing your skin care routine with these helpful tips.

• Wash your face daily with gentle cleansers. You probably already have a morning beauty routine, but washing your face after workouts and washing your makeup off before you sleep are important steps to keeping your skin looking youthful and healthy.
• Use sunscreen daily. Recent surveys showed that 70% of women aged 18 to 34 don’t wear sunscreen daily. The suns harmful rays are one of the biggest culprits in prematurely aging skin. Take care of your skin with a daily application of SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen.
• Sleep well. A good night’s sleep does more than rest your mind. It also allows your body time to rebuild cells and rebalance your hydration. Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep a night, and you will really feel like you got beauty rest.
• Eat a balanced diet. Putting healthful foods in your body, gives your skin the nutrients it needs for a healthy glow. Remember to drink plenty of water too to keep your skin hydrated.
• Moisturize. Apply your favorite moisturizer directly out of the shower while your skin is still damp. This will help to lock in moisture and keep your skin feel soft and smooth throughout the day.

We all know that sun and time are some of the biggest causes of facial wrinkles, but a new study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal shows that your sleeping position can cause wrinkles too!

According to one of the authors of the study, “Sleep wrinkles form in response to distortion created when the face is pressed against any sleep surface. They tend to worsen over time due to repetition combined with thinning of the skin and decreased elasticity as we age.”

The amount of time spent in sleeping positions, such as side sleeping and stomach sleeping, increase the likelihood of sleep wrinkles. But it isn’t easy to control which position you sleep in. Back sleeping is the best because it does not compress the face the way other positions do, but only about 30 percent of people sleep in this position.

To alleviate sleep wrinkles, you can try to sleep on your back, but you should definitely take care of your skin with sunscreen, good nutrition, and great skin care products.

You can also seek cosmetic treatments that increase collagen production, like Fraxel® laser treatments, to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Are you ready to fight back against the wrinkles that are making you look much older than you feel? At Allure Plastic Surgery, our experienced plastic surgeons can help you achieve your beauty goals with both surgical and non-surgical options.

Plastic surgery is a fast-growing field in both scientific advances and popularity. In the last decade, we have seen everything from the FDA approval of gel-filled breast implants to the astronomical rise of non-surgical alternatives, such as Botox® and dermal fillers. And more people than ever are choosing plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to look and feel their best.

The future of plastic surgery is quickly advancing and regenerative medicine seems to be at its forefront. Researchers are already developing regenerative-medicine based techniques to correct congenital anomalies and aid in breast reconstruction for breast cancer survivors, among other pursuits. Using stem cells, growth factors, PRP [platelet-rich plasma] and/or synthetic scaffolds, researchers are investigating new ways to help the body heal damaged tissue and repair the effects of aging by unlocking the regenerative potential of these substances and techniques.

In the future, regenerative treatments could replace current anti-aging treatments like Botox and leave you looking younger and healthier than ever!

Around 750,000 Americans travel abroad for surgery each year. Most of them hoping to find quality care for cheaper prices. Almost 90 percent of patients said they chose to travel abroad for surgery because of cost. 

However, many patients return from surgery abroad with serious infections. Recently, patients who traveled to the Dominican Republic returned with rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) at the surgical site. RGM is often resistant to antibiotics. Severe RGM infections can result in “painful nodules that develop into persistent, discharging abscesses,” according to a CDC report. Surgery may be required for treatment.

A medical expert at the CDC, who reported on some of the Dominican Republic cases, indicated that although it was unknown how the patients were infected, “any breach in sterile equipment” can cause bacteria to enter the patient’s wound.

Health authorities caution that medical tourists should understand that other countries do not hold doctors to the same high safety standards that you can expect in the United States.

At Allure Plastic Surgery, your health and safety are our top priorities. We perform all procedures in state-of-the-art facilities, designed for your comfort and safety.

Tess Holliday, a size-22 model, has made a name for herself with the #effyourbeautystandards campaign, but recently it seems that she may have had a change of heart when it comes to her own appearance. She recently posted photos on Instagram of meeting with a plastic surgeon. Her caption read:

“Today I had a great conversation with my friend @DrGhavami about what my options are to work on some of the things [the sun] & mothering two children has done to my body. These aren’t “flaws” – but they are things that have taken away from what makes me feel sexy in my own skin.”

She went on to emphasize that she wanted her campaign to empower people to feel that they are allowed to make choices about their own bodies and what makes them feel comfortable and confident with themselves.

Although, Tess didn’t give details about what procedures she is considering, she is likely discussing options for a mommy makeover to reverse the effects of pregnancy and motherhood on her body. She may also be considering skin rejuvenation techniques, such as Fraxel® lasers, to improve the tone and texture of her sun-damaged skin.

A tummy tuck can help you look and feel your best, but did you know it also comes with several health benefits? Five medical benefits of tummy tuck include:

• Easier weight maintenance. Studies show that bariatric patients who underwent a tummy tuck procedure are more likely to keep the weight off than patients who didn’t finish their body transformation with a tummy tuck.
• Better posture. With excess skin and tissue removed, and strengthened and tightened abdominal muscles, you can naturally stand taller and find relief from the back pain that may have been plaguing you.
• Less urinary incontinence. An unfortunate side of effect of childbirth is often urinary incontinence. During a tummy tuck, your surgeon may be able to obstruct the bladder with soft tissue to alleviate the condition.
• Hernia relief. Ventral hernias can occur after a C-section or appendectomy because of weak abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck can correct this issue and help tighten the abdominal muscles.
• Increased ability to exercise. Weak abs and excess abdominal skin can make it difficult and uncomfortable to exercise. After you’ve recovered from your tummy tuck, you’ll likely find that you enjoy and engage in exercise more. More frequent exercise is better for your overall health and well-being.

When news breaks of reality TV stars, like Amber Portwood from Teen Mom OG, undergoing “mommy makeovers,” you might start to wonder if there’s such a thing as a daddy makeover. Do dads visit the plastic surgeon too? They want to look as good as the moms out there, right?

The answer is yes. Dads are more likely than ever to schedule a visit with a plastic surgeon to reclaim their youthful appearance. Over 1.2 million cosmetic procedures were performed on men last year, and male procedures are up 63 percent in the last five years. Plastic surgery isn’t just for women.

Although fathers don’t have to be concerned with the same bodily changes that pregnancy and birthing brings to women, they do have to think about whether their “dad bod” and wrinkles are really the image they want to show the world.

Many men begin with non-surgical procedures like Botox®, dermal fillers, Coolsculpting, and Ultherapy because these procedures offer amazing results with little to no downtime to fit into their busy dad schedules.

The first step to finding out if Botox or another procedure is right for you is to meet with one of our highly experienced New York plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
