Thread lifts, often refered to as brand names such as Silhouette Lift, Contour Lift or Happy Lift, are another important method that is gaining in popularity and efficacy. Also known as suture lifts, thread lifts involve the use of threads or sutures made from the same materials used in surgery to close wounds. When placed under the skin, they can be used to tighten and volumize areas of the skin that are loose or sagging. Much like suspension cables, they are designed to hold up the skin in place, and provide a supportive structure that defies the effects of gravity and aging.

Thread Lifts - The No-Surgery Face Lifting Alternative
A surgical facelift is no longer the only option for lifting and contouring a face. Besides the use of neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport to relax hyperactive muscles and dermal fillers to plump up lost volume, skin tightening lasers and radio-frequency treatments are also great ways to fight the effects of gravity and collagen degeneration.

How to be Beautiful - Finding Your Facial Harmony
If you ask a person why they would consider plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments, usually they will tell you they dislike their nose, or wish they had bigger eyes, or want to change their chin. Some would ask for Angelina Jolie's lips or Scarlett Johannsen's nose, thinking that the fuller lips or perkier nose would make them more beautiful.
Yet study after study has failed to identify the 'Perfect' nose or chin or lips, because it is not the specific shape or size of each facial feature that makes a face attractive, it is how all of those features harmonize with each other. This is the study of facial harmonics, or profiloplasty. By improving the harmony of facial features in relation to each other, we can improve an individual's features so they look like themselves, but more aesthetically pleasing.
Chin Up: Chinplants On The Rise
The latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgery showed that while breast implants, Botox and liposuction are still the number one requested procedures, there has been a surprising upsurge in a new trend : chin implants for a stronger, shapelier chin.
Seen in profile, the facial features of a person with a more prominent chin tends to be more pleasant, and can slim the appearance of the face. In the male face the small chin is also seen as being weak and less commanding.
Experts say that the boom of camera phones and video chatting could have contributed to this marked increase in chin augmentation, making people notice their faces and their profiles more.
Chin surgery is a very quick and minor operation, and if done by fillers, is a very painless and cost effective way to change the overall shape and look of your face. With a stronger chin, the face tends to look younger, better defined and the neck profile is also improved.
