Beauty upgrade: The different facelift procedures

Facelifts are surgical procedures performed by cosmetic surgeons to eliminate perceived imperfections. The most common flaw that men and women often see on their faces are wrinkles. They usually arise either because of too much sun exposure or as a consequence of natural aging. Alcohol intake can also increase and accelerate the appearance of these creases in the skin. With facelifts, people can now address this kind of aesthetic dilemma. There are numerous types of facelift procedures available. The most common of which are:

1. SMAS lift

This is the most commonly done facelift procedure. This involves the removal of excess skin and the tightening of the skin that was left behind. Next is the elevation of the skin and the muscle-aponeurosis complex. The fatty tissue which is present in the neck may also be removed.

2. Subperiosteal lift

In this type of facelift, an endoscope or an incision is made horizontally across the scalp. The skin is then pulled up to tighten it. There may or may not be incisions made inside the mouth. They serve to free the fat, muscle, and skin layers from the facial bones.

3. Mid facelift

Also referred to as “cheek-lift,” this surgical procedure mainly addresses the triangular area in the middle of the face. Since this procedure does not improve the neck or lower face, it may be paired with a neck lift.

Some people want a sexier figure but do not have time to go on multiple, weekly trips to the gym. Pamper yourself and have a smoother, sexier figure with Sono Bello Body Contour Center Center’s VelaShapeTM treatment.

Why should you go for a VelaShapeTM Treatment?

VelaShapeTM is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical solution for those who wish to have their bodies reshaped. VelaShapeTM is also ideal for those who wish to get rid of cellulite. For this procedure, physicians use a vacuum suction with specially-designed rollers. The skin is massaged to facilitate safe heat delivery. This treatment enables patients to have a well-toned and contoured body in as few as four sessions.

The net results show an increase in the metabolism of stored energy and lymphatic drainage, and a reduction in the size of actual fat cells and fat chambers. You can be treated for

circumferential reduction for your thighs. Cellulite treatments are also good for your thighs, buttocks, love handles and abdomen.

The VelaShape™ treatment feels like a deep tissue massage, initially with a slight pinching on skin. This feeling can be eliminated when you ask your technician to adjust the roller head.

Get the body you have always wanted, and go for a VelaShape™ treatment.

Sono Bello® is a leading cosmetic surgery center which offers an array of non-invasive procedures for people who wish to achieve a better version of themselves. Visit the Sono Bello website for more details on the procedures it offers.

Vinegar for Your Health
Some studies have shown that apple cider vinegar helps with weight loss – it is thought that this kind of vinegar turns on the genes involved in breaking down fats (of course, you should still exercise and eat right. And, there is some dispute as to how much vinegar really helps with weight reduction). Other studies have shown that apple cider vinegar can help to control diabetes and blood sugar.

When using vinegar for health purposes, don’t just drink it straight. Just put one to two tablespoons in a glass of water and sip.

Half a cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with four cups of water can help a painful sunburn to heal faster while preventing blisters. A cotton ball moistened with undiluted apple cider vinegar and dabbed on bug bites can help to ease the swelling and itchiness.

Vinegar for Beauty 
Just one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed into two cups of water makes a great facial toner. Moisten a cotton ball and apply to clean, dry skin.

Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with one cup of water makes a great hair rinse. Use after washing your hair, and then rinse thoroughly and use a light conditioner.

These ideas are only the beginning when it comes to the health and beauty benefits of vinegar!

The beauty of customized lift procedures

Facelifts are among the most popular cosmetic procedures among men and women, inspired by the prevalent desire to remain youthful-looking. People who are considering getting a facelift worry, however, that the result would not be natural-looking, or worse, that they would get unrecognizable versions of themselves.

It is, therefore, the goal of the board-certified and seasoned plastic and facial plastic surgeons of Sono Bello Body Contour Center to educate people that a cosmetic procedure such as facelift need not be a source of anxiety, especially as concerns treatment outcome. By working closely with their patients, Sono Bello® physicians can customize a solution to meet their needs.
