Even if you're seeking a non-surgical solution to a skin care issue, your Cleveland cosmetic surgeon can be one of the best places to turn for advice and treatment. Cosmetic surgeons and their expert staffs are uniquely qualified to peer below the surface of the skin and seek out innovative solutions to certain problematic skin issues. Plastic surgeons delve daily into the intricate relationship between skin and muscle structure. Specialized medical training has given board certified plastic surgeons an intimate understanding of how skin is formed, how it reacts to aging and other elements, and how it can best be rejuvenated and protected.
Whether you choose surgical or non-surgical cosmetic modalities to rejuvenate your appearance, quality skin care is an important element in rejuvenating your appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeons offer several excellent physician-prescribed skin health programs, including Obagi® Skin Health Program, Vivité®, the Kinerase® Pro+ Therapy line, Prevage™ MD, and Colorscience®.
The natural aging process, past sun exposure and environmental elements can take a toll on your skin, creating changes that you find unattractive and would prefer to reverse. A quality skin health program can help to rebalance and rejuvenate skin, balancing uneven skin tones and erasing dark spots and fine lines that mar the appearance of your skin. Whether or not it is accompanied by facial rejuvenation surgery, a quality skin health system will revitalize the skin itself and improve your satisfaction with your appearance.
While women across America will rise before dawn in pursuit of incredible door buster bargains, your personal Mr. Wonderful will probably hide under the covers before braving the stores. Men as a species are not known for their affinity for shopping. Most men seem to lack the critical shopping gene.
The phenomenon doesn't seem to be limited to my house alone. An Experian survey of 7,000 adults found that 14% of men do their shopping at the last minute, plucking up the first likely gift they find from the thinning selection at the mall. More than a third of men polled said they solve the gift-shopping problem by giving gift cards or gift certificates. And more men, particularly those under 35, have turned to Internet shopping; overnight shipping having solved the advanced planning problem.
Given the realities of male holiday shopping, you have to ask yourself if you really want another Radio Shack gift card or another bottle of musky perfume for your gift this year. Perhaps it's time to step in and tell your sweetie what you really want this year. Encourage your special someone to give you a gift that will bring you (and him) joy and pleasure for years to come. Customized body contouring and cosmetic surgery give your body a lift and your self-esteem a boost.

Reality television personality Heidi Montag's revelation on Good Morning America earlier this week that she underwent 10 cosmetic surgery procedures in a single day last November shocked viewers and unleashed a firestorm of outrage and debate in the press and on the blogosphere. Concern seemed to be directed most at the questionable necessity and safety of a 23-year-old woman undergoing so many elective cosmetic surgery procedures and the example Heidi's choices set for young fans who have followed her career since she caught the public's notice during three seasons on The Hills.
Heidi's on-air revelation followed her comment in last week's People magazine that she was "beyond obsessed" with plastic surgery. On Good Morning America, Heidi defended her decision, saying, "I'm living in my skin, and I look in the mirror and it's my career and my life, and you only have one. So, I want to take advantage of everything and be the best me, in and out, every way."
Heidi told Good Morning America she underwent cosmetic surgery procedures to her brows, neck, chin, jaw, nose, cheeks, lips, waist, hips and thighs all in a single surgery session and had previously had a nose job and breast augmentation. She said she plans to go undergo additional cosmetic surgery in the future to further increase her breast size from triple-D to H. When asked how she felt about the results of her cosmetic surgery procedures, Heidi said, "I think I look like myself. I think I just look like a different, improved version of myself."
Some of Heidi's The Hills cast mates were among many who expressed concern about the effect publicity about Heidi's choices might have on young girls. On the All Headline News website, The Hills' Lo Bosworth was quoted as saying, "I hope that girls don't...look at the decisions that Heidi made and think that's normal...I would never want young girls to read that and think it's the standard that they need to be measured by."
The controversy surrounding Heidi's cosmetic surgery choices emphasizes the critical necessity of choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon you can trust who has the professional experience and deep commitment to his patients' well-being, safety and good health to educate you about all of the options available to reach your personal appearance goals. A dedicated cosmetic surgeon will take the time to discuss the long-term implications of various plastic surgery options, offer alternatives and guide you toward healthy choices.
Dr. Poblete and the staff at Accentuate Within Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Center in Avon Lake, Ohio work closely with each patient to develop a specialized personal care program to ensure that every patient meets her appearance goals effectively and safely. Dr. Poblete may recommend that contemplated surgeries be spaced at intervals to allow the patient to become comfortable with the results of the first surgery before deciding if additional procedures are necessary.
In our Patient Diaries download, you can read Wendy's Story. A 34-year-old Cleveland woman, Wendy came to us seeking a tummy tuck and breast implants to remove post-baby sag, but confessed she wasn't completely comfortable with silicone implants. Dr. Problete listened to her concerns and was able to suggest an alternative he felt would provide even better results. As Wendy says, "To my surprise [Dr. Poblete] informed me I would not need implants and that I would be very satisfied with a full tummy tuck and breast lift." After her surgery, Wendy commented, "I have never felt so good about looking in the mirror at myself...My breasts are lifted and fuller and no longer hide in my armpits when I lay in bed at night. Both my husband and I are happy."
Honorable plastic surgeons like Dr. Problete who value their patients' well-being have your health and welfare at heart and will guide you to the safest, most effective cosmetic surgery procedures to help you achieve your appearance goals.
If we only knew then what we know now we would never have spent hours at the beach or around the pool baking in that luscious golden tan. Of course, as you turned your youthful face to follow the sun's rays, you didn't know your skin would pay such a heavy price decades later. Now when you look in the mirror you see the creeping damage caused by hours in the sun and, let's be honest, aging.
Those awful fine lines that radiate out from your once plump and sensuous lips are beginning to give you that unnatural "old lady pucker." You've seen it on your grandmother. Tiny age lines and deeper crevices caused by cumulative sun damage ring the lips, creating an unattractive puckery look. Lipstick migrates along the cracks in horrifying red rivers toward nose, cheeks and chin. Even beauty-conscious older women cannot stop the ravages of time. Lip liner can only do so much! Fortunately, non-invasive cosmetic surgery can give us back our youthful appearance.

Experienced cosmetic and plastic surgeon Dr. Vicente Poblete expertly applies Botox and dermal cosmetic tissue fillers to banish those unsightly fine lines around lips and eyes caused by aging and cumulative sun damage. Dr. Poblete may also combine Botox and dermal cosmetic filler treatments with the use of advanced anti-aging skin health products to keep your face looking fresh and beautiful.

Before deciding to undergo cosmetic surgery, women are finding extremely satisfactory results can be achieved with non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments at Accentuate Within.
Turkeys are such imposing looking birds. Not particularly beautiful, but regal in their size and carriage. Since the Thanksgiving weekend, turkeys have been in the news. An Ohio turkey recently became the first turkey to win Best of Show in the 54-year history of the Ohio National Poultry Show. Bred for its looks not for eating, the Royal Palm turkey is a stunning bird with a gorgeous coat of black-tipped, silvery-white feathers. She's quite a beauty until you look her in the eye. Yep, like all turkeys, the regal Royal Palm suffers from dreaded "turkey neck."
Unfortunately, the wrinkly folds of skin referred to as "turkey neck" are among the less attractive body changes that occur with age. Loss of skin elasticity, weakening of the support for the neck muscles, significant weight loss or the inexorable force of gravity over time can produce unattractive wrinkles of excess skin along the neck. A Cleveland cosmetic surgery neck lift can remove the unsightly wattles of "turkey neck" and create smooth, youthful-looking skin.
When performed by an experienced Cleveland board-certified cosmetic surgeon like Avon Lake's Dr. J. Vicente Poblete, neck contouring plastic surgery removes unattractive excess skin and fat, creating lovely, smooth skin. During your personal consultation, Dr. Poblete and the caring staff at Accentuate Within will listen to your concerns about your appearance. They will discuss various options that can be used to improve your appearance. The most typical procedures for correcting "turkey neck" include a neck lift, Smart Lipo or a combination of the two.
Dr. Poblete will develop an individualized treatment program that will address your concerns and restore your confidence in your appearance. The attentive staff at Accentuate Within can show you before and after photographs of other Cleveland area patients who have undergone the cosmetic surgery procedures you have selected. If you wish, you can even talk to a former Cleveland plastic surgery patient about their successful cosmetic surgery experience with Dr. Poblete and Accentuate Within.
