People in Their 20’s Having Plastic Surgery

When people think of plastic surgery, they don’t normally think young, healthy people. Often, plastic surgery is associated with people in their 50s and 60s who want to look younger.

Now a day’s however, doctors are starting to see a growing number of people in their 20’s are getting plastic surgery. The millennials are paying more attention to their appearance and the sometimes visible wrinkles in their forehead. The amount of 20 somethings getting plastic surgery has doubled in the past 3 years. This trend proves that the social acceptance of plastic surgery is growing among young people. Some of the top request are Botox, acid peels, and other skincare techniques to help remove sun damage and freckles.

Women’s Happiness Doesn’t Affect Mortality

Many studies have been conducted that claim to link happiness and living a longer life together. “A study published on Wednesday in The Lancet, following one million middle-aged women in Britain for 10 years, finds that the widely held view that happiness enhances health and longevity is unfounded. Happiness and related measures of well-being do not appear to have any direct effect on mortality, the researchers concluded,” (NY TIMES).

“The results come from the so-called Million Women Study, which recruited women ages 50 to 69 from 1996 to 2001, and tracked them with questionnaires and official records of deaths and hospital admissions. The questionnaires asked how often the women felt happy, in control, relaxed and stressed, and also instructed them to rate their health and list ailments like high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, arthritis and depression or anxiety,” (NY TIMES).

The good news is that you can be as grumpy as you want and you can still live a full long life! Sadly though, making those grumpy faces can affect your face and create wrinkles where you may not want them. This is when you will want to call us for a few Botox shots or possibly other skincare treatments. Just because you want to walk around grumpy all day doesn’t mean you have to appear that way. 

To get a head start on ridding of those wrinkles, schedule a free confidential consultation with us by calling 248-735-3800 or www.starplasticsurgery.net/contact-us

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!
