A facelift is supposed to erase years off a person’s face, thereby making him/her look a lot younger than his/her age. It is not supposed to make one look different, as what is usually the case. The lines are minimized, but the output somehow looks unnatural. This is primarily the reason why many others are still reluctant to have facelifts, though they are open to go under the knife. The results aren’t as convincing as they want them to be. -

Scarring is by far the patient’s most dreaded predicament in any plastic surgery procedure. While the scalpel, cannula, and injections give their own share of terror, most patients are afraid of the unsightly scars that might appear permanently after surgery.
Thankfully, modern medical techniques have matured through the years. Plastic surgeons are now able to control scarring to a point where patients can wear scanty clothing without worrying about surgical scars peeking. This good news would have not have been possible without the hard work of certain individuals who longed to bring in helpful developments in modern plastic surgery.
One of them is Dr. Hoang Do, an aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon. Featured in The Wave Magazine, Dr. Do has been specializing in minimal scar breast surgery, a technique that allows patients to wear a low-cut dress or a tank top without revealing scars, for more than four years now. -

Aside from high-definition Liposelection, there is another procedure that aims to produce six-pack abs or fab abs. This procedure is called Ab etching. Ab etching removes any excess fat in between abdominal muscles thereby creating an appearance of a six-pack. A video is available at WFRV.com showing how the procedure is done and what the resulting six-packs look like.
Ab etching is suited for those who are already in good shape but just have a little excess fat around the abdomen. The procedure involves making small incisions on the tummy, after which, a canula is then used to produce a shape that looks like a six pack. Liposuction is applied to areas where excess fat is present. Mild anesthesia is employed in this procedure, which takes about an hour to finish. -
