David Beckham - Underwear Model To Love

David Beckham's underwear print campaign for Emporio Armani has me and a lot more people wondering just how much of his body is airbrushed.

 

Not a common practice among male underwear models (and female too), padding strategic locations and buffing biceps, pecs and abs with photoshop has been done for years. In David Beckham's case it could be a combination of exercise and airbrushing though.

 

David, an athlete (footballer) by profession enjoys advertisements as a professional perk and no wonder since his body more than passes muster. Not one to tend to his muscle tone through a cosmetic surgery procedure like a tummy tuck, Beckham prefers the grunt-work.

 

To get a body like Beckham without going through all the workout hassle is not easy as even a tummy tuck procedure like abdominal etching will not deliver the results you want. However, it is an excellent treatment for those men who just want the appearance of a six-pack.

 

The abdominal etching surgery is done on an outpatient basis and makes use of inherent fat deposits to carve out ridges in the patient's abdomen. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California offers this surgical procedure as part of our abdominoplasty services.

 

Take a look at our tummy tuck prices and procedures at our advanced surgical institute.

 

Tummy Tuck – A Decision By Choice

Toyah Willcox (50) was one of the coolest trend-setters of pop punk, distinguished by and large for her assorted hairstyles and looks. Age might have mellowed her but has certainly not taken any of her spunkiness away.

 

There is no doubt that Toyah's ageless beauty has different plastic surgery procedures hidden behind it. She herself has admitted to her various procedures at various times. Also it goes without saying that for most aging Hollywood actresses plastic surgery seems to be a career requirement.

 

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Toyah revealed that in the past she has had a face lift surgery and a hormone implant. She now wants to go in for a tummy tuck and a breast reduction surgery. Though her husband is against this she says, "If he goes away on a long tour I might just have it done anyway and not tell him".

 

Toyah Willcox' childhood was not as fortunate as other children's. Because of a certain physical disorder found at birth she had to go through years of surgery and physiotherapy.

 

This might give an impression that she is fanatical about surgeries. But, every woman has the right to take her own decisions and Toyah has wisely taken a good one with the different cosmetic enhancements she had at various stages of her life

 

At the center for tummy tuck in Beverly Hills  we respect this and help women take decisions and clear their doubts. A majority of our female clients opt for the tummy tuck procedure, a surgical process to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall and trim away excess skin.

Ditch The Pounds With Breakfast Or A Tummy Tuck

Adelle Davis had it bang on when she told the world to "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."

 

Researcher Dr. Daniela Jakubowicz proceeded to prove Adele right by expounding on her adage at a recent San Francisco conference. She presented her studies on women who had been put on special diets for a period spanning several months.

 

People who breakfasted lavishly were usually found to include fibre and fruit making it a very healthy course of action. Such breakfast menu also caused them to lose out on hunger pangs, naturally making them feel less inclined to eat.

 

Quite a natural weight control method I must say.

 

For an overweight person this could result in unsatisfactory results. This is mainly because once the diet is on track and the tummy has been taken in there will be pockets of flesh that will look bulky. At such a stage tummy tuck surgery can prove to be very handy.

 

Tummy tuck procedures trim off excess, unwanted skin lending the belly a wonderful toned look. See the options we have at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Pink Patch: Weight Loss Scam?

I came across this unusual weight loss method on one of my favorite health and fitness sites FitSugar and needless to say, got very curious.

The Pink Patch claims to help the user lose 1-3 pounds of weight per week by just sticking a strip of specially treated latex to a body part. Sounds simple and it probably is if it weren’t for the fact that it makes use of an ingredient called Fucus Vesiculosus.

The ingredient also goes by the name Bladderwrack and has been long included in many weight loss methods as it has been believed to cause a lift in metabolism and is held to induce weight loss. The Pink Patch somehow fails to mention that Bladderwrack has not been tested on humans successfully.

I did a little checking of my own after visiting the links laid out in FS and realized that they couldn’t be more correct.

Weight loss may be a desperate must-have for young people in college, but it cannot be achieved that easily. PSI abdominoplasty thinks it’s better for this age group to exercise till they enter adult-hood. If losing weight is still a problem after going through all the effort, cosmetic surgery procedures like a tummy tuck can be considered.

Make a wise decision to maintain a healthy body mass index and think through any alternative options before you go ahead with them. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to know more about tummy tuck procedures and prices.

Abdominoplasty - A Journey From Flabulous To Fabulous

Michelle weighed 250 pounds at the age of 18. At school, she was nicknamed ‘Permanently Pregnant’. The moniker made her find some excuse or another to miss school and put on more weight. She felt absolutely ravaged.

One day as she gazed at herself in the mirror, Michelle realized she needed help. She told her mother about how she felt.

Her mom initially thought that plastic surgery procedures like tummy tuck and liposuction would help her daughter regain her confidence. But due to her daughter’s tender age, she thought it best that Michelle lose some pounds through work outs. She immediately took steps and enrolled Michelle in a program to lose weight.

Thanks to years of maintaining her weight with her mother’s support, Michelle lost 55 pounds before her 24th birthday. But, something still spoilt the effect of her weight loss - her sagging skin.

She wasted no time and got in touch with us at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. Our consultants advised her to have an abdominoplasty wherein, excess skin could be removed from the middle and lower abdomen.

The results that Michelle achieved from this cosmetic surgery procedure were remarkable. She simply loves the way she looks now.

A Wonderful Freak Of Nature – “The Body”

Far from venturing onto scientific grounds with that POV, The Body I’m referring to is the title given to the woman called Elle Macpherson.

The 44-year-old supermodel was spotted at a photoshoot in London recently and was seen doing her thing on a balcony. And does she do a better job than Victoria Beckham or what!

Elle is in the same hallowed circle of supermodels like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington and was a magnificent ramp scorcher in the 90’s with a killer body. It was her awesome figure that earned her the nickname ‘The Body’.

A cosmetic surgeon’s dream, Elle Macpherson has got curves in all the right places. Her tummy may not be that toned after giving birth to three kids, but its nothing that a tummy tuck can’t fix.

Even models need a little maintenance very now and then, but Elle has got past the stage where she has to worry about her looks and body. While she wouldn’t completely rule out plastic surgery, I doubt a tummy tuck procedure is something she is going to be having anytime soon.

What do you think? Would you like to have a figure like the Big Elle at 44? The Plastic Surgery Institute of California would like to know and help you out if you do.

PSI Raves About - Tummy Tuck Tattoos

When something like ScarArt comes along, you automatically start wondering why something so basic took so long.

ScarArt products are actually temporary tattoos that are specifically designed for concealing tummy tuck scars. Right now the retailers are marketing three really cute designs and we are hoping they expand to more interesting stuff.

Not much can be done for scars that are obtained after a satisfying tummy tuck surgery except to deal with their unpleasing appearance and then forget about them as they gradually fade. For women who are used to showing skin and love mid-riff baring tops, the post-tummy tuck recovery period can be rather irksome.

A strip of butterflies or a band of flowers floating about the belly admittedly looks much better than an angry, swollen scar. Their clever way of concealing tummy tuck scars for a couple of days makes ScarArt a very cheerful recovery aid. The manufacturers claim the tattoos are FDA regulated and make use of safe adhesives and colors that don’t smudge and are waterproof. All the more reason to get one or all of them!

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California, an advance surgical institute for cosmetic tummy tuck procedures thinks aids like these could make the recovery process more fun. It certainly could encourage women to go out more during the scar healing period.

Gorge Up!
