Benefits of a Facelift

Since the introduction of BOTOX Cosmetic, nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments have exploded.

2012-01-30

HOUSTON, TX, January 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) Since the introduction of BOTOX Cosmetic, nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments have exploded. They have become the most popular option for people seeking to rejuvenate their appearance, and have led to a significant decline in the popularity of facelifts. However, in recent years the trend has been reversing. People have come to realize that a facelift has certain benefits no nonsurgical treatment can match.

Nothing Does What a Facelift Does

There is currently no nonsurgical facial rejuvenation procedure that can accomplish what a facelift can. Facial aging is a complicated process, and one of the symptoms is the sagging of facial tissues. If you want to elevate those facial tissues, there is no other option than a facelift. A facelift can treat:

- Jowls
- Sagging skin in the neck
- Loose or excess facial skin
- Certain facial folds and deep wrinkles

Nonsurgical treatments that claim to be able to treat these symptoms of facial aging tend to be unsuccessful.

Longevity

No nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments last as long as a facelift. How long does a facelift last? There are no reliable figures, but most surgeons use the figure of ten years as a rough estimate. However, a recent survey of facelift patients an average of 12.6 years after surgery showed that 69% believed they still looked ten years or more younger as a result of the procedure, which means that the results of a facelift are likely significantly longer than ten years.

By comparison, BOTOX Cosmetic results tend to last 3-4 months. No facial filler lasts more than 2 years, and the only one that lasts much more than a year, Sculptra, takes several months to actually show results in the first place.

Facial Harmony

Most nonsurgical facial treatments (with the exception of skin resurfacing) are targeted to specific treatment areas. This can lead to a face that seems to be one age in some places and a different age elsewhere. A facelift, on the other hand, rejuvenates the entire face as a single, unified whole, creating facial harmony. A facelift can rejuvenate your face while preserving the aspects of your appearance that are characteristic of you.

Most facelift patients find that the benefits of a facelift more than outweigh the costs and disadvantages. In fact, facelifts have a much higher satisfaction rate than any of the competing nonsurgical procedures.

Sonicating sperm -- the future of male contraception

2012-01-30

The ideal male contraceptive would be inexpensive, reliable, and reversible. It would need to be long acting but have few side effects. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology used commercially available therapeutic ultrasound equipment to reduce sperm counts of male rats to levels which would result in infertility in humans. Ultrasound's potential as a male contraceptive was first reported nearly 40 years ago. However the equipment used is now outdated and no longer available. Researchers from the Department ...

2-arm blood pressure check indicator for risk from heart disease or death

2012-01-30

A systematic review and meta-analysis carried out by researchers at the University of Exeter Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (PCMD) has found that differences in systolic blood pressure between arms could be a useful indicator of the likelihood of vascular risk and death. The findings add support to the calls for both-arm blood pressure checks to be performed as standard. The review is published in The Lancet online today (30th January) and the study is supported by the Royal College of General Practitioners, the South West GP Trust and the National Institute ...

Cancer sequencing initiative discovers mutations tied to aggressive childhood brain tumors

2012-01-30

Researchers studying a rare, lethal childhood tumor of the brainstem discovered that nearly 80 percent of the tumors have mutations in genes not previously tied to cancer. Early evidence suggests the alterations play a unique role in other aggressive pediatric brain tumors as well. The findings from the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital – Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project (PCGP) offer important insight into a poorly understood tumor that kills more than 90 percent of patients within two years. The tumor, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), ...

Genetic regulation of metabolomic biomarkers – paths to cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes

2012-01-30

In a study to the genetic variance of human metabolism, researchers have identified thirty one regions of the genome that were associated with levels of circulating metabolites, i.e., small molecules that take part in various chemical reactions of human body. Many of the studied metabolites are biomarkers for cardiovascular disease or related disorders, thus the loci uncovered may provide valuable insight into the biological processes leading to common diseases. Laboratory tests used in the clinic typically monitor one or few circulating metabolites. The researchers at ...

The good news about carbon storage in tropical vegetation

2012-01-30

A study published in Nature Climate Change today finds that tropical vegetation contains 21 percent more carbon than previous studies had suggested. Using a combination of remote sensing and field data, scientists from Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC), Boston University, and the University of Maryland were able to produce the first "wall-to-wall" map (with a spatial resolution of 500 m x 500 m) of carbon storage of forests, shrublands, and savannas in the tropics of Africa, Asia, and South America. Colors on the map represent the amount of carbon density stored in the ...

Lifelong payoff for attentive kindergarten kids

2012-01-30

Attentiveness in kindergarten accurately predicts the development of "work-oriented" skills in school children, according to a new study published by Dr. Linda Pagani, a professor and researcher at the University of Montreal and CHU Sainte-Justine. Elementary school teachers made observations of attention skills in over a thousand kindergarten children. Then, from grades 1 to 6, homeroom teachers rated how well the children worked both autonomously and with fellow classmates, their levels of self-control and self-confidence, and their ability to follow directions and rules. ...

U-M study urges parents to enforce booster seat use when carpooling

2012-01-30

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Most parents report that they typically require their child to use a life-saving booster seat, but more than 30 percent said they do not enforce this rule when their child is riding with another driver. The study, conducted by child health experts at University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, also revealed that 45 percent of parents do not require their kids to use a booster when driving other children who do not have one. "The majority of parents reported that their children between the ages of four and eight use a safety seat when ...
