It Might Be Time For Jude Law To Visit A Hair Transplantation Surgeon

Pink Is The New Blog has just posted on Jude Law's beefed-up hairline for his spokesman gigs with Dior Homme Sport and Dunhill clothier. The ads feature Jude looking hawt, as always, but with a hairline from ten years ago - the photos don't match the reality, however, as Law has reached about a level 4 on the Norwood scale.

An airbrush artist claims that Law's hairline in the ads must have been airbrushed, but SFP is not convinced. It looks to me that, in at least one of the ads, a makeup artist has used an alopecia concealer like Toppik. Perhaps both the use of concealers and airbrushing could explain the lush crop of hair Jude sports in the photos as spokesman.

It may be time for Law to consider visiting a world-class hair transplantation surgeon, like the ones who are featured by the Hair Transplantation Network. Maybe he should sneak away to Canada to visit the popular and talented Doctors Hasson and Wong, or the amazing Dr. Rahal (check out and amazing transformation of one patient of Rahal's, "frontaltool" and see his video progression on YouTube.) Hair transplantation has come a long way since the plugs of the early days. You'd be amazed at what's possible. Expect to see a more in-depth post on the hair transplantation procedure later.

Heavy 'Lifting' Not For Men, Says Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

"Even if you have wrinkles and sagging on your face, you probably do not need a facelift. In some cases, facelifts make men look feminized. Better to have a neck lift, brow lift, and work on the eyes," says Dr. Lloyd Krieger of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery in a post in one of his blogs.

In another of Dr. Krieger's blogs, he says, "With the wrong procedures, or the right procedures done the wrong way, men wind up looking less like they did when they were in college -- and more like their college-aged daughters."

Plastic surgery is growing ever more popular with men as the stigma once faced by cosmetically enhanced males fades into memory. In a recent article entitled Cosmetic Surgery: Definitely Maybe, the British paper, The Independent reports that one UK plastic surgery clinic has tracked an increase of 51% in abdomenoplasty (tummy tucks), a 44% increase in chin lifts, a 17% increase in face lifts and a 57% increase in Botox injections for men in the past twelve months alone.

If you type in "face lift for men" in a Google search bar, you'll get 2,760,000 results as of today, June 13th, 2008. Many of those links are to sites which state they specialize in male face lift procedures and detail the difficulties faced when performing the procedure on a man, as opposed to a woman.

"Specific problems that need to be accounted for in men as opposed to women in performing a facelift are receding hairlines, the greater visibility of scars around the ears and the presence of facial hair," states one of these web sites.

I tend to agree with Dr. Krieger. I've never seen a men's face lift turn out well. But, in my opinion male face lifts tend to look more alien than feminine. Just look at Axel, Tom, Mickey and Wayne... I mean, I've heard of a man being told his forehead is growing, but it's typically a sly way to point out a receding hairline. In the case of the men pictured above, their foreheads actually appear to be growing! Their eyebrows are slowing arching toward the back of their necks.

SFP certainly agrees with Dr. Krieger that "the wrong procedures, or the right procedures done the wrong way" can leave, not only men, but anyone looking like a Kabuki caricature of themselves. It's our philosophy that educated decisions are the best options when making your choices about cosmetic surgery. Men and women look their best after plastic surgery when the changes are subtle, well planned, throughly researched and artfully executed. Cosmetic medicine is an art form - the surgeon must not only be technically proficient, but he or she must have an eye for symmetry and beauty. Their canvases are the human face and body, after all.

Smartlipo MPX™ Can Help You Bring 'Sexy Back' In Record Time With Less Pain And Swelling Than Traditional Lipo

Not long ago, SFP brought our readers information on VASER high-definition liposuction and how it changes what's possible with lipo - before, patients would be thinner with conventional liposuction, but they still wouldn't have immediate access to the six-pack abs and other ripped muscles that they desired.

Other limitations of traditional liposuction include its inability to tighten the skin from the places where it removes fat and pain, swelling and bruising - if you've ever seen a traditional tumescent liposuction procedure, you'd know the the surgeon must pound the cannula (the fat suction device) repeatedly underneath the skin. It's no wonder that most liposuction patients wake up from the surgery feeling like they've been hit my a truck!

Now, however, there is a new procedure in liposuction that offers patients a rapid recovery time, minimal pain and swelling, tighter skin as the fat is sucked away and doesn't even require stitches. The procedure is called Smartlipo MPX™. Smartlipo MPX™ utilizes two different laser wavelengths. The 1064 wavelength melts fat and provides heat which tightens skin. The 1320 wavelength heats water in the tissues while melting some fat. The procedure is extremely safe, as the lasers turn off within two-tenths of a second after the surgeon stops all motion on the handpiece.

The surgery requires only two millimeter incisions to insert the laser and suction device into the areas to be treated, so they require no stitches. The procedure only requires local anesthesia and the patient is awake during the operation. Due to the minimal swelling and bruising, the patient can recover rapidly - patients often need only a few hours to feel fine and a day or two to fully recover.

"Ideal candidates for the SmartLipo MPX™ are men and women from every walk of life who want the convenience of fat removal in a physician's office. If the patient arrives at 8 a.m., he or she can usually undergo the procedure and leave at noon feeling fine," says Dr. Millard of Millard Plastic Surgery Center of Lone Tree, CO - the only center in Colorado to currently offer Smartlipo MPX™.

Typical costs for smart lipo are in the $5000 to $6,000 dollar range. The large majority of patients polled online (77%) say the surgery is well worth the cost.

Bigger Isn't Always Better, Says Arizona Plastic Surgeon Who Advocates More Natural- Looking Breast Augmentation

Arizona plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Handsome... er... Cohen, advocates for women on whom he operates to choose more natural-looking alternatives to the saline implants of the late nineties and early part of this century. Dr. Cohen suggests the more resent cohesive silicone gel (gummy bear) implants as an alternative for younger women wanting a more natural looking and feeling implant.

"I've always been a proponent of natural-looking breast augmentation for my Scottsdale area patients. Whether a woman wants to be in the more modest size range or in a fuller size range, it is still very important to maintain a natural breast shape and to ensure that the implant fits the proportions of the body. Size is a very personal decision, but a natural shape and softer feel should be the goal of any breast augmentation," says Dr. Cohen.

Although the most advanced and natural looking cosmetic procedures are also among the most expensive, Dr. Cohen advices that the potential patient look as the surgery as an investment in one's own body that must last a very long time, possibly a lifetime.

"If a patient seeks out a 'bargain basement' surgery, she will not only be more likely to get an inferior result, but she also may be getting a lower level of safety. I believe that using the highest quality silicone implants, combined with the latest techniques and a board-certified M.D. anesthesiologist gives my patients the safest surgical experience," warns Dr. Cohen. Very good advice for any woman seeking breast augmentation.

I think many young women (and possibly some men) would be happy to place their bodies in the hands of handsome Dr. Cohen, in more ways than one!
