Why are Fillers so popular?
Fillers are, without a doubt, the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment, and they have skyrocketed in popularity in the past year or so thanks to the heavily-promoted use of them in the press on various high profile celebrities. Notable faces include Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian opening up about their experiences ‘under the needle’!
Popular uses for facial filler:
So, why are so many people opting for filler? It’s simple. After the age of 30, our bodies make 1% less collagen per year, so by the time you are 50 or so, you’re making around 20% less collagen. It’s around the age of 35+ that you might start to notice subtle changes that can easily be fixed during your lunch break. And filler is most certainly a lunch break treatment!
Even younger women are opting to improve and soften their features. The attraction to fillers is that they are far more easily reversible than a face-lift or other surgical procedure. The cost is minimal, too, meaning that this isn’t something that would cost a lot to upkeep. Every 6-12 months, depending on how your body breaks down the collagen is when you would return for a top-up.

Like a breaking voice, hair where there wasn’t any before and an outbreak of zits, gynaecomastia can be one of the facts of life for a teenage boy.
It’s a rather scary-sounding name for a hard yet tender swelling behind the nipples that give the impression of breasts, brought about by hormonal changes.
In most cases, the condition calms down and eventually goes away as you finish your transformation from boy to man. But sometimes it doesn’t.
Gynaecomastia – otherwise known as ‘man-boobs’, or worse – is often dismissed as the inevitable result of a poor diet and little to no exercise, but that isn’t always the case.
True, the chest area is one of the first parts of the male body to take on and store fat during weight gain, but what explains the lean and fit people who still have breast-like protuberances, which are even more prominent when the rest of their upper bodies are as trim as can be?
There are a number of possible reasons for gynaecomastia, but most of them are linked to an increase in the oestrogen hormone – this can be due to natural hormonal changes in the body, or as a result of a particular medication.
Cosmetic surgery is the simplest and most effective way to reduce the shape and contour of your chest. The method most commonly used is a minor liposuction procedure, followed by a removal of the prominent breast tissue. Yes, there will be scarring around the nipple, but extremely minor (and eventually undetectable, if you have chest hair).
Gynaecomastia is more common than you might think – but so is male breast reduction surgery. It’s an incredibly simple and a hugely effective procedure, with the bare minimum of time taken out of your day-to-day routine.
If you’re considering a male breast reduction in Cambridge, our advice is to book a consultation with us at your earliest convenience.

From blood poisoning to ruptured implants, stories of inexpensive cosmetic surgery abroad gone wrong are countless, often with fatal results. Dennie Lees, a 24-year-old from Birmingham travelled to Belgium for her breast augmentation. Only one week later her implants ruptured. Yet when she went back to Belgium for a second pair, the problem was not fixed, as one became infected and had to be removed. The worrying part is that Dennie is only one of thousands of women who go abroad for treatment every year, and come home dissatisfied, or worse, with their health compromised.
Clinics like the one Dennie experienced often fail to meet basic standards of care. They do not provide patients with the relevant information and have inexperienced surgeons. So, when the surgery inevitably goes wrong they have no system in place for dealing with problems and complications.
Post-surgery complications can be common in any country, but it particularly becomes a problem if the surgery is done abroad. Going back to the same country for a second operation is unsafe and impractical if you are suffering a surgical-complication and need a second procedure, no matter how experienced the surgeon may be. It pays to remember that despite some of the recent news about the state of the UK health service the standards here and techniques and technology available are some of the best in the world.
The responsibility ultimately lies with the patient. For those insistent on going overseas for surgery, usually for cost reasons remember to do your research beforehand. Learning the credentials of surgeons and clinics is invaluable. Taking out complications insurance is essential. But these precautions will not necessarily mean that your health can be ensured, and paying a bit more to have the surgery done at home under the proper care is safer. It means if there are post-operative complications, they can be fixed easily.
