This summer Ulrika Jonsson revealed she had invested £11,000 in cosmetic Surgery after the birth of her fourth child. It was reported this week that she wanted breast reduction surgery and body reshaping after she put on five stone during pregnancy and her bust ballooned to 34I.

 

Breast reduction is a common request. Most women are aware of breast enlargement surgery and breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed procedures. However, an increasing number of women are seeking breast reduction surgery. They consider a reduction in breast size can give them more confidence and reduce the health problems excessively large breasts can cause. Such as back and shoulder pain, skin irritation and discomfort and feeling overly self conscious.

 

Another common cosmetic surgery procedure after child birth is a breast lift or mastopexy. A recent innovation in this type of surgery has produced the minimal scar breast lift technique to improve the appearance of loose, sagging breasts which have lost tone and volume. Traditional breast lifting techniques involve removal of skin and tissue underneath the breast and around the areola, using what is known as the ‘anchor incision’ or ‘inverted T’. These techniques are effective and the results are usually long lasting and predictable. However, some women have been reluctant to undergo these procedures as they create a distinct scar on the front of the breast.

 

For women requiring only a minor to moderate degree of lift, there is an alternative solution which can be performed without vertical scarring. The ‘minimal scar breast lift’ utilises an incision around the areola combined with a short incision in the infra mammary skin fold. This technique delivers a lasting and natural breast lift with barely-visible scarring.

 

The Party Season is here.

Where did the year go? It seems like only yesterday that the party clothes were out and I knew I should have considered Liposuction when I made my New Year resolutions! But all is not lost there is still time for some quick fix beauty essentials.

Winter takes its toll on your skin with drying winds and central heating but a nourishing facial combined with one of the fabulous skin peels like the Power Pumpkin Resurfacer by Dermaquest can brighten the skin and give a youthful appearance.

For a more serious approach to smoothing out lines and wrinkles Botox is always a pre Christmas favorite. And the recent developments in fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm ensure a natural look for lip enhancement and can lift and smooth targeted areas of the face such as lines around the lips and the nasolabial fold lines.
