		<description><![CDATA[You’ve probably heard about Mommy Makeovers, but how about Daddy Do-Overs? Generally speaking, a Mommy Makeover is a way for a woman to regain the appearance she had before childbirth. A Daddy Do-Over is basically the same thing, except from the guy’s perspective. While a man doesn’t have to worry about the changes that come with giving birth, but many men tend to neglect themselves while raising their kids. After a while, that neglect can take its toll. Usually, a Daddy Do-Over involves a tummy tuck and breast reduction. Many men experience weight gain while raising a family, and these two procedures are very effective in getting men back to their original appearance – especially when exercise and diet are not getting them back on its own.

<p>Cosmetic surgery for men has been on the rise for quite some time, and it is becoming more and more common. As a matter of fact, almost 10% of cosmetic surgeries were performed on men last year.

That’s right, many couples are opting to have procedures done together, including everything from chin implants to tummy tucks.

More than 20,000 chin implant surgeries were performed in 2011, and most of the patients were more than 55 years in age. According to the study, the so-called “chinplant” saw the highest increase among procedures last year, up more than 70% from 2010. Doctors and researchers believe that the surgery is becoming more popular because it goes a long way to make the face look younger.  Many people lose definition in the chin/neck area as they grow older, and a chin implant is a great way to give the chin a more prominent appearance.  Giving the chin more definition can take years off of your appearance, giving you a more youthful overall look.

		<description><![CDATA[If your ears are starting to sag, you may want to consider a “lobe job” – a procedure that’s growing in popularity among women who want their ears to have a more youthful appearance.  After years of wearing heavy earrings, along with the tendency for ears to droop with age, ear plastic surgery is a good way to make those lobes look young again. Ear plastic surgery, or otoplasty, can tighten up droopy earlobes and reduce the amount of stretching that has occurred over time. Otoplasty can also change the shape of ears, especially those that are too big or oddly shaped, and make them more appealing to the eye.  Small changes in the appearance of your ears can make a big difference in the way you look, especially when you combine otoplasty with other types of plastic surgery procedures.

		<description><![CDATA[And the winner is…Liposuction!  That’s right; liposuction was the number one cosmetic surgery of 2011, followed by breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and eyelid surgery, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. 2011 also showed a slight increase in cosmetic surgical procedures, while relatively non-invasive procedures (such as Botox injections) saw a slight decrease. The reasoning behind this discrepancy is that patients are seeking lasting results.  Injections are a good short term solution, while plastic surgery tends to have more long-lasting effects.  One theory suggests that people are staying in their careers longer, and therefore need to compete with younger-looking people in the job market.  This means that a growing number of people want to have a more youthful appearance. While women make up the large majority of plastic surgery patients, the number of men getting surgery is also on the rise.

		<description><![CDATA[A new study from The Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation in California suggests that patients of plastic surgery have an increase in positive self-image up to a year after undergoing a procedure.  The research indicates that up to 98% of patients were happy with the results of their surgeries, and that 97% would recommend cosmetic surgery procedures to people they know. When done for the right reasons, plastic surgery can help you improve your self-esteem and self-image.  It’s important that you are having a procedure for yourself and not for someone else – that is the key to being satisfied with your decision.  Dr. Gary Williamson in Augusta, Georgia, can sit down with you and discuss the cosmetic procedures that will work best for your needs.  Call Augusta Aesthetic Surgery today and schedule your free consultation today.
