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.
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.

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.
