This past weekend the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery & Reconstructive Surgery sponsored the Latest Advances in Facial Plastic Surgery.

Attending the conference were some of the country’s leading surgeons and experts in facial plastic surgery and reports claim that one of the hot topics was the increasing trend towards lip augmentations in the U.S.
Although breast augmentation surgery, liposuction and facelifts are still among the most requested procedures in America, surgeons and researchers believe that lip augmentations are soon going to be among the most desirable.
Women Opting for Plump Lips
Among the surgeons at the conference was renowned New York Surgeon, Dr. Andrew Jacono who recently published “A New Classification of Lip Zones to Customize Injectable Lip Augmentation.”
In the article Dr. Jacono talks about his exclusive new technique that targets 15 anatomic zones using inject able Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers to deliver fuller lips.
French Lips
In what Dr. Jacono refers to as the “French Lip” method, he injects the Philtral columns, the center of the Cupid ’s bow and the outer half of the lips, in order to roll out the lip and achieve the desired fullness.
“Using this new technique, we can strategically refine, enlarge and reshape the lips to deliver a natural looking pout that is far more desirable than the overstuffed look which currently plagues a host of high profile women from Hollywood to Park Avenue,” explains Dr. Jacono.
According to reports the lip augmentation procedure has been one of the top requested for a lunchtime lip fix. And who doesn’t want Angelina’s pout?

More than 11.5 million Americans reportedly underwent some type of cosmetic procedure in 2006. Among these men and women many of them may leave the operating room with enhanced breasts or a new nose, but to their dismay, some also are leaving surgery with incision marks.
For many, surgery can leave behind incision marks, bruising and swelling. However, if you’re looking for a way to hide the post-surgery marks and expose that flawless body? Well fear not, because a new camouflaging makeup can reportedly hide any marks left behind after your procedures.
A Makeup with the Most
Dr. David Broadway, a plastic surgeon in Denver, understands that the period of time after surgery can often be a difficult one for patients seeing as their bodies are transitioning and recuperating from the procedure.
Though he encourages his patients not to get discouraged or feel down when their bodies don’t initially look as they dreamed after surgery.
Instead, he says patients should seek out help from camouflage cosmetics to lessen and even hide those marks.
Dr. Broadway says that all patients can use this helpful technique no matter what their age and gender and still get the same benefits.
Consult Doctor Before Using
For patients who have undergone more serious surgeries such as liposuction or other body contouring procedures, Dr. Broadway suggests they consult their doctor before applying any makeup seeing as all stitches have to be removed until anything can be applied to the skin.
According to patients and doctors, concealers should be opaque and waterproof for the best results and should be applied gently so that there is no strain to the skin.
Color correctors can be used to lessen red and yellow skin and lavender and green tints are best for neutralizing bruising.

Picture this, you’re main squeeze of the moment takes you out on a Saturday night for some much needed alone time and a few cocktails. He appears to be excited, focused and in a generally good mood. The problem? He is not only excited, focused and open to you, but appears to be so towards every curvy female who enters his line of vision.

However ladies, your man isn’t the only one guilty of letting his eyes wander towards the bodies of the opposite sex, women too have the occasional lapse of judgment and our eyes say it all. The good news? Neither sex is at fault or up to no good, in fact, a new study shows that the wandering eye is actually a sort of natural instinct for all human beings.

Study Reveals the Truth Behind the Looks
Researcher from Florida State University used a technique known as “visual cuing” to analyze the truth behind what is known as, attention adhesion.
The study found that the human eye is automatically drawn to physically appealing members of the opposite sex.

The Decision to Get Plastic Surgery
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, nearly 11.5 million Americans underwent plastic surgery in 2006. Of this whole, over 10.5 million women opted for a cosmetic surgery procedure ranging from facelifts and breast augmentations to full body contouring.

Researchers working on the study worry that women are becoming insecure when out and about with their significant others due to their wandering eyes.
Surgeons suggest that when patients choose to get plastic surgery, they ensure that they are making the decision based on their own wants and needs, and not for the “assumed” wants of their partners.

In the past couple of decades the amount of people who have undergone plastic surgery in the United States has risen dramatically. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, an estimated 11.5 million Americans underwent surgical and nonsurgical procedures in 2006 alone. Stereotypically, having cosmetic surgery is a sign of vanity and status. However, for some, having surgery serves as a new beginning.

Redefining the Smile
In our daily lives few of us consider the simple facial expression known as a smile. Though for many children living in Guatemala, their grins are something that effects their whole perception of themselves.
Countless children in Guatemala are born with facial defects that prevent them from smiling. Reconstructive surgery is often the only way to help these children attain the ability to show expression in their face.
Giving the Gift of a Smile
There are several ways to help those in need throughout the year and board-certified plastic surgeon Sarah W. Holland of York Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center travels to Guatemala yearly to perform free reconstructive surgery on children in need.
Holland travels with the non-profit organization, Children of the Americas, which provides free medical and surgical care to poor women and children.
