Plastic Surgery Blog: Women’s Happiness Declining

Doing something for yourself even if it is small can lift your spirits

A recent local article revealed that The American Economic Journal has reported that women’s happiness is declining. This is consistent across racial, economic, and all age groups. On the flip side Men are reporting being more content. Some of the theories behind this is the fact that expectations have risen and society can’t deliver them. For instance sexism still prevails and many find it frustrating. Women are also trying to succeed in more domains than before-they are trying to be a good mom, have a good home life, and be great at their career. If they fall short in any area it can often lead them to fall into a spiral of depression.

It is wise to note that we are all something-but none of us is everything. We simply can’t be all things and please everyone. It is helpful to take time for ourselves. We can even be excited for the simple things. Most women like to look beautiful and Dr. Krieger offers non-surgical options to transform your image. Latiesse is a new, popular natural eyelash growth treatment. This alternative to clumpy mascara or expensive eyelash extensions actually promotes your own natural eyelashes allowing you to bat your own natural lashes beautifully.

Plastic Surgery Blog: Bodybuilding Beauty

Building muscle benefits our bodies as they age

A recent local video highlighted Lynn Combs, a 51 year old bodybuilder who is headed to a national body building competition. Combs started body building in her mid 40′s and is now in better shape than ever. She is a trainer that mixes muscle pumps, spin classes, and weight training into her day to day life. Combs was a runner in high school and college and  made the switch to weight training later in life. She works on two body parts daily and even though she is aging she reports that she is getting stronger and in better shape every year.

If your body is not as contoured or shapely as you wish Dr. Krieger offers helpful body contouring procedures. Liposuction and tummy tucks are the most popular body contouring methods. Liposuction sculpts and removes those bulges of fat that don’t respond to diet and hours at the gym. Liposuction suctions out these deposits of fat by a thin vacuum tube inserted underneath the skin. Adominoplasty or a tummy tuck corrects loose folds of skin in the abdomen. A tummy tuck tightens the ab muscles which leaves the patient with a smoother and toned waistline.

Plastic Surgery Blog: Flatter your Neck

Nothing corrects a wrinkled neck better than plastic surgery

Choosing your neckline in a blouse, sweater, or dress is a major deciding factor in how your figure will look. You can appear taller, slimmer, and more stylish if you chose the correct neckline for your body. A recent local article revealed tips for choosing your type of neckline. Sweetheart, scoop, and V-Necks look flattering on most people except those with long necks or large breasts. The collarbone is always a beautiful region to showcase. If you suffer from sloped shoulders and a long neck a crew or boat cut can make you appear more balanced. Lastly, the halter top is a great choice for all as it flatters any figure and even supports larger busts with strapless bras inserted.

If your neck hasn’t aged gracefully and has loss skin elasticity Dr. Krieger recommends the neck lift procedure. Often there is excess fat and skin in the neck area which makes the contours of the chin and jaw line obscured and unattractive. A neck lift can tighten the jowls, sagging, and creases that make you appear as if you are older or more overweight.

Plastic Surgery Blog: Keep your Lips Moist

Chapped lips can be very uninviting Lips need maintainance too!

A recent local article revealed the importance of preventing dry, chapped lips in Winter. If your lips are red they are most likely chapped and irritated. Chapped lips can cause severe burning, cracking, and flaking. In the Summer months there is humidity in the air which gives our skin more moisture but in Winter our lips suffer the most. Lips should be protected all year-long with lip balm. Balm forms a protective layer between our lips and the elements of the environment-balm even offers protection from acidic foods. Balms come in different textures ranging from wax to gel-your choice is simply a matter of preference. The key is prevention, you should moisturize your lips daily. 

If your lips are moisturized but still lack the fullness you desire you may want to consider dermal fillers. Dr. Krieger offers Restylane which is a pure, synthetic substance which offers firmness and elasticity. It is often used for lip augmentation as it plumps and restores fullness where folds and wrinkles have set in. Results can be seen instantly and last up to six months.

Plastic Surgery Blog: Healthy Weight

The number on the scale is only part of the equation

A recent local article asked the question “What is a healthy weight?” BMI or body mass index and waist size seem to be the two components that determine a persons health. With a low BMI and smaller waist size the risk for heart disease and other health problems is dramatically lowered. Healthy eating and exercise habits are important as well as there are unhealthy individuals who are still slim with a small waist. It is important for those attempting to lose weight to know that the number on the scale is not as important as having an overall healthy lifestyle.

 For those who have lost dramatic amounts of weight through bariatric surgery or natural weight loss they often find that the end result isn’t as pleasing as they would have hoped for. Excess skin often hangs from the thighs, abs, arms, and breasts. It’s not just about looks- this excess skin gets in the way of finding clothes that fit and bacteria can grow in the folds of the skin which can prevent proper hygiene. Dr. Krieger is a skilled body contouring specialist and is co-author of the book Body Contouring After Weight Loss.

Lack of sleep gives a bad first impression

A recent local article revealed that sleepless nights are plaguing Americans. Not getting enough sleep is effecting jobs, social lives, and intimacy between couples. American’s are reportedly getting 2 hours less sleep per night than the recommend 8.5 hours we once were getting.

A shocking 26% of couples were also to tired to engage in nightly sexual activity. Many people watch TV, pay bills, or loose sleep over anxiety and financial worries.

Sleeplessness not only takes a toll on our mind but also on our face. Dr. Krieger sees a high number of patients with wrinkles due to stress, anxiety, and a demanding work schedule. The delicate skin around the eyes is often the first part of the face to sag and wrinkle due to stress and lack of sleep. A brighter more refreshed look can be brought to the eye with Dr. Krieger’s upper eyelid surgery.
