Plastic Surgery Myths Debunked

It is indeed Saturday (finally), so we thought we’d post a blog on some of the fun and sometimes..not so fun statements we come across in the beauty industry almost on a daily basis. As healthy and beauty experts, we do come across a lot of “truths” and “facts” that are not necessarily all that true. If we were to correct every myth, we’d be here all day, but here are a few that we have heard recently and want to address. Plastic surgery and aesthetics comes with social expectations, stigmas and taboos, so there is no wonder that there are so many myths out there!

We see a lot of patients coming into the clinic dead-set on having Botox. This treatment, while amazing, has become more of a pet-name for all injectables these days. At a consultation, many patients are surprised to find out than Juvederm, or another high-quality filler, can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and may even be far more suited.

Choosing a surgical procedure with a high quality and properly trained surgeon is like getting your eyebrows waxed and then meeting friends for coffee. They know that you look better, but can’t quite put their finger on it. Naturally, there is far more downtime after surgery, but your procedure is tailored to you. Your surgeon will provide results that appear natural and undetectable. Each patient is unique, and a highly skilled plastic surgeon will adjust their technique to ensure that you receive the most natural and beautiful result possible. You, but better.

This is something we hear sometimes from our male patients. Once upon a time, our male patients felt insecure and unsure about booking in for a consultation or treatment. But this is most certainly no longer the case. There has been a 273% increase between 1997 and 2014 in men undergoing cosmetic procedures.

4. It’s only for vain people:
Although this is portrayed in the media as so, we couldn’t disagree more. Often, our patients will have worked hard for two years losing weight to be left with loose skin. We provide the much needed boost of confidence to truly complete their weight loss journey. Procedures are to help patients feel better, and to be confident as the best possible version of themselves.

We receive many questions and queries daily on the matter above so if you have ever heard or even been given advice you are not entirely certain about, almost do your “due diligence”, check online for answers from more than just 1 source and of course email us or simply comment below.

If you’re experiencing the onset of ageing, or want to restore youthful vigour to your face – or just want to make the most of what you’ve got – you may be confused about the range of treatments on offer. With that in mind, here’s a brief guide to two of the most popular treatments on the market – Botox and dermal fillers.

What are Botox and fillers?

Botox is a brand name for Botulinum Toxin – a natural protein that is deployed to temporarily relax muscles in the face that are the cause of lines and wrinkles. It’s been proven to be the safest and most tested product of its kind.

Dermal fillers are a supplement of Hyaluronic Acid, a natural additive that the body routinely produces to self-regulate the skin and keep it moisturised. As we get older, our natural supplies diminish – hence the need to ‘top up’ the facial area with HA.

What does the treatment involve?

Both procedures consist of a consultation session, where clients express their desired results, followed by a course of injections. There may be slight bruising and swelling immediately afterwards, but can be easily hidden with make-up.

How long do the results last?

Botox targets the lines in a client’s face caused by facial expressions, and the duration of results lasts from three to six months, depending on various factors. Dermal fillers has less of a job to do and is more of a gradual treatment – meaning the results last for up to 18 months – and in some cases, as long as two years.

Who would each treatment suit?

If you want to get rid of facial lines and wrinkles on a budget, Botox is the obvious choice, as it targets problem areas with fast results at a lower cost. If you’re looking to eliminate lines and wrinkles while also replenishing the volume to your face over a longer period of time, dermal fillers are the best bet.

Whatever treatment you choose, Cambridge Clear Beauty has the solution. For more information, get in touch with us at your earliest convenience and we’ll be able to talk you through both processes in further detail.
