Get your Mommy Makeover this Month!

How Old Will You Look in the Future?

The “aging suit” is the newest in virtual reality technology, which allows you to get the full simulation of the growing old effect. The suit is called Genworth R70i Aging Experience, was created by a 62-year-old man named Bran Ferran who is the former president of research and development for Disney. This division created all of the “magic” at the theme parks and studios.

This special suit has bolts and hinges at every joint to give the aging effect more of a real life experience. The suit itself looks like some sort of superhero costume while “the helmet simulates impaired vision, hearing loss, and cognitive deterioration,” (Lidz,2015). While giving you insights on what it is to be old, you may start to reflect on how you actually look as well.

What Is Your Reason for Getting Plastic Surgery?

·         It’s Not Always About Insecurity

-          Don’t make these assumptions about people because assuming this will more than likely cause them to be more insecure.

·         It May Be an Artistic Expression

-          People do things for many reasons and sometimes it is for artistic purposes. It can be because they are looking to express themselves and plastic surgery was the route that they felt most comfortable in.

·         Medical Reasoning

-          Those that seek out plastic surgery for medical reasons are usually looking to for health reasons. Procedures such as liposuction, breast augmentations, breast lifts, or even a rhinoplasty are utilized to help prevent health issues.

·         We All Participate in Body Modification

-  Whether it’s putting makeup on or getting a haircut, we all modify our physical appearance in some way. Those of you who decide to go with plastic surgery just take body modifications one step further. Getting an injection of Botox is almost the same as putting on makeup.

·         Personal Choices Should Be Respected

-          As humans, we should have a general respect for others and their own personal choices. We all pass each other on the streets and it is important to remain respectful so we can maintain a peaceful culture.

·         Self-Love Comes in Different Forms

-          The main goal is to just feel good about the way you look. This often comes from different sources. Some people like to travel, eat, exercise, and in the case, get plastic surgery. An important fact to remember is to make sure they are board-certified.

At Star Plastic Surgery we welcome anyone who is looking to improve themselves. Whether it is medical, insecurity, artistic, or any other reason why they want to have a body modification done. Ready to make a positive change that will increase your self-confidence? Schedule your free consultation today to discuss your goals, needs, and expectations with our experienced plastic surgeons. You can call 248-735-3800 or visit www.starplasticsurgery.net to fill out a contact form. 

Happy Easter!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

How to Stay Out of the Danger Zone

Patients are the most important part of any medical practice. How their experience goes is very important to the reputation of the practice. One issue that often angers patients are the post-surgery cost.

Depending what procedure is done, the post-surgery cost can vary and may even include physical therapy, specific diets, hospital beds, heating pads, and other materials that will keep you comfortable. These post-surgery details can often be ignored so make sure that if you decide to move in this direction. If you would like to hear more about what post-surgery entails and how to be prepared, please read one of our former patients blogs where she describes her experience: FormerPatient Blog 

At Star Plastic Surgery, we strive to provide safe and outstanding results. All of Star Plastic Surgery’s surgeons have completed over a thousand procedures including breast augmentation, breast lifts, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, facelifts, and breast reduction surgery. Star Plastic Surgery’s mission is to provide the highest degree of patient satisfaction by achieving the most successful surgical results.

Artificial Sweeteners vs. Sugar

With the holidays coming up, the concern of sugar and sweeteners and how they affect us become more relevant. Holiday treats are a common occurrence and the harmful effects are always in the back of our mind soon after consumption.

An analysis of randomized controlled trials, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2013, found that sugar-sweetened beverages alone cause body weight to go up in adults. In comparison, an analysis of randomized controlled trials of artificial sweeteners published in the same journal found that their use led to lower body weight and less overall fat.

The facts are there and the first step is to limit the amount of sugar consumed per week in order to prevent any health issues caused by an abundance of sugar. Everyone always says “feel great about the way you look”, and the first step in feeling that way is to just be healthy. If that isn’t doing the trick, there is always the option of plastic surgery on those areas you feel insecure about. Visit our website at www.starplasticsurgery.net to learn more.

HOUR Detroit Top Doc Ellen Ozolins Customer Review

"Total Celeb-level Care"

The name says it all. From the moment I walked in the door for a consultation, I was given incredible care and service. The staff is polite and courteous and they remember your name as though you've been going there for years. I had a "Mommy Makeover" (breast lift-no implants & full tummy tuck) by Dr. Ozolins in July 2015. She's absolutely fantastic! I am not a fan of any type of surgical procedures in general and was very timid about even seeking a consultation but she made me feel comfortable and confident right away. I'm 12 weeks post-op and super happy with my results. I know I could've gone somewhere closer to my home for a cut-rate deal but I don't for one second regret my choice to have my surgery through Star. I think you get what you pay for and my procedure was worth every penny. Dr. Ozolins does impeccable work. Many surgeons don't want to do a breast lift without implants but Dr. O is such a pro, she uses a technique that provides the lift that holds up without implants. The care at Star is top notch- they don't simply cut and run like some "cosmetic" surgery clinics. If you call they are happy to be see you, even if it's just for small concerns that end up being nothing. I might be a bit of a drama queen and I called them multiple times with questions and the staff was always happy to listen and give advice or have me come in. They see you regularly after your surgery for months and provide care until you are fully healed. I really cannot say enough about the skill, care and professionalism of the surgeons, nurses and all the staff. I would recommend Star, and particularly Dr. Ozolins to ANYONE & everyone considering plastic surgery or non-surgical procedures. I feel I got my money's worth and more.

Client Testimonials

New Tanning Trend Can Cause Serious Skin Damage

**WARNING IF YOU GO IN THE SUN!!**

Some sunbathers are searching for more than a golden glow in a new social media trend that's concerning dermatologists, cancer experts and other clinicians. It is called "sunburn art", which is when people apply sunscreen to a certain area in order to create a design. This has become a popular trend on social media and I believe people should know how unhealthy it is to do this to their skin. 

For many years, health experts have warned that UV radiation, can be damaging to the skin, leading to burns, wrinkles, dark spots, leathery skin and cancer. To read more about this trend and the harmful effects, go check out the article here. 

This hasn’t become an issue in the Metro Detroit area yet, but summer is starting to heat up and this trend is sure to make its way to our beaches. Cosmetic surgeons often speak with patients about the issue of aging. Damage to your skin over many years can increase this and require more cosmetic surgery. A Mommy Makeover and Facial Plastic Surgery can only do so much, so make sure to take care of your skin!
