Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) January 30, 2015 Dr. Louis DeJoseph, one of the partners of Premier Image Cosmetic & Laser Surgery and one of the respected cosmetic surgeons in Atlanta, has announced that his practice has added Restylane Silk as a new injectable treatment. According to Dr. DeJoseph, Restylane Silk is the first and only FDA-approved product designed for subtle lip enhancement and to treat nasolabial folds, which are the wrinkles and lines that form around the mouth also known as smile lines. Restylane Silk consists of a clear gel that is comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural sugar found in the skin. The gel formula is then injected into the skin with a specially designed ultrafine needle. Because Restylane Silk utilizes smoother and smaller particles than what is typically used in other Restylane treatments, it creates more natural-looking results. The ideal candidate is anyone wanting softer, fuller lips, said Dr. DeJoseph. Premier Image Cosmetic & Laser Surgery began offering Restylane Silk on January 22 to patients. Dr. DeJoseph said typically patients will begin to see their desired results after just one treatment. He also added that there is minimal downtime for patients who undergo a Restylane Silk treatment, … Continue reading →

Breast augmentation is down by a quarter while breast reduction is up, and for the first time in years, cosmetic surgery is on the decline Last year, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (BAAPS) reported that cosmetic procedures were up by 16.5 per cent - numbers of nose jobs, liposuction, tummy tucks and face lifts had reached an eye-watering 50,122 in the UK. This year however, the stats are a little more subtle, and they've also been deflated. According to BAAPS, the number of cosmetic operations has decreased by nine per cent in the last 12 months, with breast augmentations for example, still the most popular procedure (there were 8,609 last year), plummeting by 25 per cent. Tummy tucks and nose jobs also decreased by 20 per cent reports, the BAAPS. IN PICTURES - Celebrities with 'new' faces Interestingly too, for the first time in five years, the order of popularity of procedures has shifted.
