Which are the best wrinkle reduction treatments?

Mr Gary Ross offers the best wrinkle reduction treatments, including anti ageing injectables, as well as skin rejuvenation treatments such as chemical skin peels.

There are numerous forms of anti-ageing treatments which can be combined to provide a non-surgical alternative for clients of all ages, male or female, who do not wish to undergo (or are unsuitable for) invasive cosmetic surgery options.

In this week’s blog, Mr Ross explains what skin rejuvenation treatments can smooth lines, and how you can be sure you’re choosing a clinic that can really offer you the best treatments in Manchester and beyond.

Which treatment do I need?

When it comes to choosing non-surgical anti-ageing treatments, it can be a confusing decision to make. With so many clinics offering treatments for facial lines, such as crows feet, how can you be sure you’re getting the right anti ageing treatments?

There are various types of skin rejuvenation treatment that can be offered as either a standalone treatment or as part of a combination therapy.

For example, muscle relaxing injections can be used as a standalone treatment in the prevention of lines and wrinkles, however they can also be used in combination with other non surgical treatments such as dermal fillers or volumiser injections.

Who should you trust?

Doing your research, making sure you choose a skin rejuvenation expert with the appropriate skills and advanced anti ageing knowledge, is a great start. Mr Ross has plenty of information on the non-surgical treatment pages.

Whether you choose to undergo dermal fillers, chemical skin peel treatment, or muscle relaxing injections – or perhaps a combination of all three – Mr Ross many years of experience in providing this form of non-surgical care to patients.

Women improving breast volume with fat transfer

Mr Ross offers fat transfer procedures including to the breasts

Fat transfer procedures to improve breast volume are rising in popularity, as women seek an alternative to silicone implants.
After years of confusion and misinformation following the PIP crisis in 2013, patients have been seeking alternative breast enhancement procedures, says Mr Ross.

Expert opinion

“For patients considering breast enhancement options, a fat transfer procedure with body-jet could provide natural-looking volume without the need for silicone breast implants, “ he explains.

“Choosing to undergo cosmetic surgery to improve the shape or size of the breasts comes with many decisions; one of which is whether to replace the traditional silicone breast implants with your body’s own fat.

“A body-jet fat transfer procedure allows you to minimally enhance the size of the breasts or improve volume in parts of the breast that may be lacking as a results of breast feeding or weight loss.”
For women who wish to only add small amounts of volume to the upper part of the breasts, the fat transfer procedure can boost fullness to the area in a natural way.

An alternative breast enhancement option, a fat transfer procedure takes fat from another area of the body – for example the abdomen or thighs – are replaces it in a different location. Because the fat is your own the risk of complications is much lower than that of silicone breast implants, and most importantly the results look subtle.

Is it right for you?

Gary says: “Ultimately the decision to undergo any cosmetic surgery should be made by the individual and no one else; it’s a personal choice that should only be made after much consideration. Having said that there are a plethora of reasons why fat transfer is a reliable way to boost breast volume.

“Firstly, there are no foreign objects being placed within the body during body-jet fat transfer procedures, unlike alternatives based around silicone implants. Fat is harvested from your own body and replaced where it’s needed, in a more holistic enhancement method that breast implants.

“Secondly, as far as breast enhancement options go, a fat transfer procedure is a more gentle approach to gaining breast volume. There are no large incisions made, just some small ones to enable the medical professional to take and replace the fat.

“Thirdly, the results are natural looking; something many women are looking for. The days of overinflated implants are long gone, and women are increasingly seeking breast enhancement to simply boost volume in the upper breast.
“Lastly it provides choice; something which has been lacking from the breast augmentation landscape for some time. Not all patients want or need implants to alter their shape, and for some it’s the subtle results that make a fat transfer procedure so appealing,” he concludes.

More information

The power to decide what’s best for your body lies in patients hands. A breast enhancement alternative like body-jet fat transfer procedures could be the safest and most reliable to subtly improve breast volume without undergoing a boob job.

Can The Nose Tip Position Alter During A Closed Rhinoplasty Procedure?

In our next vlog for December, we look into a closed rhinoplasty procedure and whether the nose tip can be altered during this type of surgery.

A closed rhinoplasty procedure is conducted to reshape a patient’s nose. There can be several reasons why a patient may choose to have a closed rhinoplasty procedure and this would mainly be due to deformations that have occurred in the nose bone structure. In the vlog, a case study is provided to show an example of a patient that was worried about the nasal bones and septum coming together in the midline of their nose. In this particular case, the results of this meant that the patient’s tip was altered.

During a rhinoplasty procedure, the tip of the nose can be altered from the standard surgery and further details about this are provided in the video. Results of the patients’ procedure are also provided through before and after photos and they show the changes that have been made not only to the patient’s nasal bone structure and septum, but also the position of the nose tip. It shows a slight alteration to the nose tip of the patient, proving that the tip can be altered during a closed rhinoplasty procedure.

If you’d like more information on on rhinoplasty surgery then you can get in touch by contacting us here or by calling 0161 401 4064. You can also visit our rhinoplasty case study page.

Popular types of facial rejuvenation surgery

The most popular types of facial rejuvenation surgery revealed

For patients considering the facial rejuvenation surgery there are numerous factors that need to be considered. Most importantly you need to ascertain whether or not your chosen anti-ageing surgery procedure is actually the right one for you.

There are many reasons a patient may consider facial rejuvenation surgery, and every patient should be treated as an individual. Mr Ross offers a variety of anti-ageing procedures, each offering a different end result. Some of these procedures are more popular than others, and some very rarely seen to go out of style. Below you will find three of the most popular types of facial rejuvenation procedures and what specific benefits undergoing these procedures may offer.

Facelift surgery

Without doubt, one of the most sought-after forms of anti-ageing surgery in the UK is the facelift. This procedure can be performed in a variety of ways, making it suitable for many different types of patient.

There are three variations of facelift surgery that remained the most popular. These include the full facelift, the midface lift, and the lower facelift. You would need a full consultation in order to determine which variation of facelift surgery is most suitable to your needs.

You can find out more information about facelift surgery via the treatment page.

Eye rejuvenation

Eye rejuvenation procedures can include upper or lower blepharoplasty, brow lift, and eye bag removal. In some cases one or more procedure will be combined in order to give the patient the best result.

An upper eyelid rejuvenation is designed to improve the skin above the eyes whilst the lower eyelid variation is designed to improve the appearance of eye bags and sagging skin below the lash line.

This type of facial rejuvenation surgery is popular with both men and women and is often combined with procedures including facelift surgery, especially in older patients.

Neck lift surgery

For patients that are unhappy with the skin below the jawline a neck lift maybe the best facial rejuvenation procedure. It remains a popular choice for patients over the age of 50.

Unlike facelift surgery, which helps to lift the skin of the face, and neck lift is purely designed to smooth this skin of the neck and improve the appearance of the area below the chin.

Picking your facial rejuvenation surgeon

Mr Ross believes communication is key in the health professional/patient relationship, and when choosing a treatment and a practitioner.

You need to make sure your chosen medical professional understands your goals and needs. Mr Ross does not support the ‘over done’ look, nor the glamour look favoured by certain celebrities, and will turn people away seeking unrealistic and unnatural results.

“The concerning thing is, there is a part of society who want to look overdone, for whatever reason this may be, but the bottom line is that every face is different and needs to be studied before treatment.

“It is an art, not a science and some practitioners themselves need to be told when enough is enough,” Gary says.

Anti ageing treatments for the eye area

Choosing the best anti ageing treatments for the eyes

Anti ageing treatments for the eye area are a great way to looking more youthful in time for the festive period. As we approach the end of 2018 and look forward to the New Year ahead, you may be considering undergoing cosmetic treatments to rejuvenate the face, and anti ageing eye treatments are a great way to kick start 2019.

There are many non surgical anti-ageing treatments which can prove useful in reducing the appearance of fine lines around the eyes or smoothing wrinkles which may appear above or below the eye area. Some of the most popular forms of non-surgical anti ageing treatments include dermal fillers, muscle relaxing injections and chemical skin peels.

There are also surgical alternatives such as blepharoplasty procedure but these require recovery time.

Considering injectables?

As well as facial rejuvenation surgery, Mr Ross offers anti ageing treatments for the eye area. Depending on what ageing concern you are aiming to treat, you may wish to choose to undergo one or a combination of several anti-ageing treatments designed to improve the skin around the eyes.

A full consultation with a medical professional is vital before undergoing any type of non surgical cosmetic treatment, however these three anti-ageing treatments are usually universally considered appropriate (and useful more often than not) for the treatment of ageing around the eyes.

Muscle relaxing injections

Muscle relaxing injections offer a non-invasive solution to lines and wrinkles forming around the eyes. Rather than smoothing lines and wrinkles, muscle relaxing injections are designed to prevent new ageing lines and wrinkles from forming, improving the youthful appearance of the face.

This is one of the most popular forms of non surgical anti-ageing treatment in the UK today with celebrities and regular clients are like enjoying the versatility of this extremely popular skin rejuvenation treatment.

Dermal fillers

Like muscle relaxing injections dermal filler treatment is administered using an injectable solution, however facial fillers themselves are not designed to prevent lines and wrinkles from forming around the eyes, but smooth and reduce the appearance of existing ones. There are many types of dermal fillers available and which one is most suitable for your needs is determined during a consultation with the cosmetic doctor of your choice.

Chemical skin peels

Chemical peels are a well established form of nonsurgical facial rejuvenation designs to not only smooth the appearance of wrinkles but also revitalise and freshen up the skin in the upper face area. Chemical skin peels are reliable and come in three different strengths depending on the level of skin rejuvenation required: superficial, medium, and deep.

Making a decision

All of these facial rejuvenation treatments are classed as non-surgical and the anti-ageing solutions can be combined together or used as stand alone treatments. It all depends on what ageing signs above or below the eyes a patient wishes to improve.

For more information about any of the treatments listed above, or for anti-ageing surgery to improve of the signs of ageing including skin that has started to sag, or volume loss please contact the clinic and a member of the team will be happy to guide you.

Does Botox Lift Eyebrows When It’s Merged With Blepharoplasty Surgery?

To start December, we question does botox lift eyebrows when it’s combined with a Blepharoplasty surgery. In the video, there are further details provided about this and the benefits that it can have on your appearance.

So, Does Botox Lift Eyebrows?

Botox is a procedure that helps to reduce the movement of muscles in the face. Many patients tend to get this procedure to prevent wrinkles. During a botox surgery, there are added benefits of elevating the brow region on the face. Although there are only subtle improvements that are made around the brow region, these changes can be noticeable on the face. Thus dispelling the question does botox lift eyebrows when it’s combined with a Blepharoplasty surgery procedure.

In the video, we can see the case study of a patient who chose to have botox surgery combined with the Blepharoplasty surgery procedure. There are noticeable differences in the brow region in the patient, rejuvenating the skin and elevating the brows in the process. Although very subtle changes appear, as explained in the video, the patient was happy with the results. The significance could prevent them from having separate surgery on the brow region.

As always, pros and cons of the procedure can be discussed in a consultation. This will be held before the surgery takes place.

If you’d like more information on Blepharoplasty surgery then you can get in touch by contacting us here or by calling 0161 401 4064. You can also visit our Blepharoplasty case study page to see more examples of results from our performed treatments.

Gary Ross, a cosmetic surgeon based in Manchester, offers the procedure at his clinic starting at around £6,000.

He said it’s a good option for women seeking “natural looking volume” without the need for silicone implants.

The cost varies per patient, depending on how big the transfer is and how much of a change they want.

“Firstly, there are no foreign objects being placed within the body during body-jet fat transfer procedures, unlike alternatives based around silicone implants,” he said.

“Secondly, as far as breast enhancement options go, a fat transfer procedure is a more gentle approach to gaining breast volume.

“There are no large incisions made, just some small ones to enable the medical professional to take and replace the fat.”

Patients also need to consider where they are having to op done – as a rule if the cost of a procedure seems too good to be true it usually is.

Response to news of breast implant and cancer link

Response to news of breast implant and cancer link

After a recent BBC investigation raised fears for UK women with breast implants, Mr Gary Ross has offered advice following the TV programme.

Mr Ross said the documentary had raised concerns about the use of textured breast implants, but pointed out that implants come with some degree of risk.

He says: “This programme comes after an investigation was launched in France back in 2011 regarding the links to rare forms of cancer associated with some implants.

“The programme reported French women were being advised to avoid so called textured implants, although the same warning has not being given to women here in England yet.

“The risk appears small but patients should be aware of ANY risk prior to undergoing breast enlargement surgery using silicone implants.

“The manufacturers of these implants, which have been used for over a decade, have said the implants are supported by studies and testing, but the regulatory system needs improving.

“It’s hard to know the long term risks of newer implants as they can take many years to develop. A register for breast implants was set up in 2016 but at the moment it’s still voluntary.

The programme included a first hand account of Breast Implant Associated Lymphoma – a cancer of the immune system.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority

had received 57 reports of ALCL in patients with breast implants, 45 of which meet specific diagnostic criteria, as of September 2018.
That puts the estimated risk of BIA-ALCL at about one per 24,000 implants.

Gary concludes: “Women looking for increased breast volume without implants can consider alternatives such as fat transfer, where fat is taken from another area of the body and injected into the upper breasts to create shape and volume.”
