Dr. Michael Horn Talks Restylane

Restylane is a sugar based gel, which works well to plump the lips and help to disappear lines. The main advantages to Restylane are the gel lasts longer and does not produce an allergic reaction. Watch this great video of Dr. Horn explaining Restylane to learn more about this treatment.

From Head to Toe: Top 5 Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Cosmetic surgery has exploded in popularity over the last 10 years, with the number of procedures in the United States having increased more than 500% since 1997.

While there are many types of cosmetic surgery procedures, the vast majority of procedures are non-surgical cosmetic procedures: Botox, laser hair removal, Restylane, chemical peels, and laser skin resurfacing.

While cosmetic surgery procedures make up a smaller percentage of the total cosmetic procedures, there are five clear favorites:

1. Breast Augmentation
   The most popular surgical procedure is, and has been, breast augmentation. The popularity of breast implants has not been contained to Hollywood, either: There were more than 350,000 breast augmentation procedures in 2008, up from a little more than 100,000 in 1997.
2. Liposuction
   A close second to breast enhancement, liposuction is a popular option for getting rid of unwanted body fat. Liposuction’s popularity is in decline, however, as technological advances have brought us newer, less invasive options for fat removal.
3. Eyelid Surgery
   Wait, what? No, its true. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is expanding in popularity. As the thinnest skin on the human body, the eyelids are particularly affected by the stresses of facial expressions and aging, which this cosmetic surgery is intended to address.
4. Nose Jobs
   The classics never go out of style. Nose jobs, or rhinoplasty, have been around since the advent of cosmetic surgery, and show no signs of going away.
5. Tummy Tucks
   Tummy tucks address the stomach area in a way that liposuction cannot—by removing excess skin caused by weight loss or pregnancy. Over the last 10 years, tummy tucks have exploded in popularity, from a little more than 30,000 procedures in 1997 to more than 110,000 in 2008.

These are just the most popular surgical options for cosmetic procedures. There is a cosmetic procedure to address virtually every part of the body. For more information, please give Dr. Michael A.
