White Caucasian: the standard of beauty
Tuesday October 24, 2006 in: General Plastic Surgery
Tag(s):
Technorati Tags: plastic surgery According to a Toronto star article, plastic surgeon Dr. Fred Stuker, who pioneered cosmetic surgery for African-Americans in the 70’s, said that because people of color are exposed and influenced by westernized beauty standards, they are heading to their plastic surgeons for rhinoplasty, eye widening and chin implants more than ever before.
"If you look now, there are a lot of black (models), but what do they look like?" he says. "They look like the rest of the models, only their skin is darker. So those kinds of features that are thought to be attractive translate across all ethnic patterns." Indeed, Stucker says bluntly: "I think the standard of beauty ...is white Caucasian."

Advanced fat grafting gives hope to women with breast surgery
Thursday October 19, 2006 in: Breast Surgery
Tag(s):
Technorati Tags: fat grafting, breast conserving surgery Women, who have undergone breast conserving surgery that involves subsequent radiation and lumpectomy, are placed in a very unfavorable condition. First and foremost, the removal of the portion of the breast where a cancerous tumor is located is already a sure-fire way to get women’s breasts look disfigured. Second, exposure to radiation makes the skin and supporting breast tissue weak, thus breast reconstruction through the use of a breast implant is almost impossible. Aside from that, radiation also hinders the healing process of any type of reconstructive surgery.

Despite the fact that many Americans are obese, the number of patients who are willing to undergo the procedure are only a few.

Jaw Augmentation
Tuesday October 10, 2006 in: Jaw Implants
Tag(s):
Technorati Tags: Jaw Augmentation, Jaw Implants, cheek implants, chin implants, facial implants Through the centuries, it has been believed that’s a well-defined jaw is a major indicator of a man’s masculinity. Up to this very day, a man with a “strong jaw” is seen as more masculine than those who have “weak jaws”. And Hollywood doesn’t help the cause of weak-jawed men all over the world, as its most manly men, at least in image, more often than not have really strong jaw lines. Can you imagine guys like Russell Crowe, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney appearing heroic in their films if they had the rounded, chubby, and weak-jawed face of, say, Paul Giamatti? Although Giamatti is one hell of an actor and is a leading man in his own right, he does not fit the general idea of a typical Hollywood leading man: a man with a prominent jaw line.
