Bigger, Easier, Better - LookingYourBest.com Reaches for the Next Level

LookingYourBest.com, the nationwide reference guide to a Who's Who of America's Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeons, offers more than just a bold new look with its comprehensive re-tooling. It offers an enhanced experience.

A glimpse at the new look of LookingYourBestThe first aspect of the new LookingYourBest.com that will surely catch the eye is the new layout and color scheme. The old, sterile layout with its pastel colors blending out to the window's edge has been supplanted by a sharp, clean page set against a rich chocolate tone, with deep rose accents and a commanding presence. In all the site wears a more focused, sophisticated feel that visitors are sure to appreciate.

The visual changes, however, belie the underlying metamorphosis that now makes it even easier to seek out doctors and procedures by multiple criteria. A simplified menu and site structure are two of the keys to the improved ease of use, despite the addition of even more data than before. LookingYourBest has long been an excellent source for finding and comparing professionals in aesthetic medicine, both locally and nationally. Now, the search function in both the gallery and surgeon areas has been simplified and visitors are treated to informative videos and 3D procedure animations to further enhance their search.

There's an important difference in the underpinnings as well, though a casual visitor may not even notice. Nevertheless, by streamlining the site's code, the programmers at LookingYourBest have sought to improve what is often the most important aspect of a web site; browsing speed. The new LookingYourBest.com loads faster and is more intuitive than ever.

Reshaping the Chin and Upper Neck

The chin, jaw line and upper neck play a vital role in your facial appearance
When we think about what makes an attractive face, we often consider the beauty of the eyes, the curve of the brows, the size and angle of the nose, or the shape of the lips. We may not focus as specifically on the chin and the jaw line, yet these features are, in fact, an important part of the skeletal framework that defines our facial appearance.

For a woman, a well-defined jaw line that is slightly curved contributes to attractive facial proportions. A delicate but adequately projecting chin generally is the ideal of feminine beauty. For a man, somewhat greater chin projection combined with a more angular jaw line is perceived as conveying a strong, masculine appearance.

For both women and men, the transition from the jaw line to the upper neck should be a "clean," smooth line without excess fat or sagging skin. Unfortunately, the jaw line is one of the first areas to show early signs of aging, losing its youthful angles and definition. Heredity, as well as age, often plays a role in aesthetic problems of the lower face. Younger patients may be dissatisfied with a recessive, or "weak," chin, a chin that is too long relative to their other facial proportions, or excess fatty tissue underneath the chin. Plastic surgery can help solve all these problems, either by restoring lost facial contours or creating new contours in better harmony with your other facial features.

Blepharoplasty in Atlanta, Georgia

Do you find yourself seeing signs of age in the mirror? Looking at an older version of yourself can be enough to prompt a visit to the internet to look for what can be done about it. Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. R. Morgan Davoudi, offers eye lid lift procedures in Atlanta, GA. Eye lid lift surgery, or blepharoplasty, is often used for people with skin that is drooping over the eyes.

Excess skin around the eyes can affect not only your appearance, making you look tired and older, but it can also impair your vision. As a result, removing excess skin from around the eyes helps to create a more youthful and alert appearance, and can also improve vision. Discuss your goals with Dr. Davoudi. Normally, blepharoplasty in Atlanta is performed as an outpatient procedure.

Visible Breast Implant Rippling

Breast implants, particularly saline-filled implants, can in some patients be seen through the overlying skin and breast tissue. Especially with changes in position, such as leaning forward lying on one’s side, this may be more pronounced. This is more likely to occur under the following conditions:

1. Saline (vs. silicone gel) implants
2. Subglandular (vs. subpectoral) placement of the implant
3. Women with very small pre-operative cup sizes (A or AA)
4. When textured surface implants are used
5. When larger volume implants are used
6. In body builders who often have a low percentage of body fat

The best treatment for visible rippling is to reduce the probability of it occurring by avoiding election of any of the aforementioned options when deciding to undergo the procedure in the beginning. Once it occurs, the treatment involves replacing the implant with a more favorable prosthesis for the patient, and often revising location as well if possible. The specific treatment for any given patient will be developed and discussed by your plastic surgeon during the consultation.

Gynecomastia Surgery in Southern California

More men will get "man boobs," or gynecomastia, than won't. Of those men who undergo male breast reduction procedures, more are adding other surgeries at the same time. So what is the reason for this increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery among men? It could be today’s competitive business environment, which puts pressure on men to look younger and more vigorous, too. Looking thinner and more fit is also a professional and social advantage for men, just as it is for women.

At one time, excision, or cutting away tissue, was the only means of treating gynecomastia. Liposuction is now used to address the soft fat deposits of the chest, but most men will require a mixture of both methods, as liposuction does not effectively treat glandular tissue. Surgery always involves some risk, so schedule your consultation with a board certified surgeon to learn more. With his experience in plastic surgery for men, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum can help you in making the decisions that will be most right for you.
