It’s fair to say that we’re pretty evangelical about the benefits of blepharoplasty procedures here at the Jan Stanek Surgery, so we weren’t in the least bit surprised to hear about a recent survey which confirms our faith in modern-day eyelid surgery.

Oct 16, 2017

The global pharmaceutical company Allergen – the company which gave the world the hyaluronic acid dermal filler Juvederm and Botox, the world’s most popular anti-wrinkle injectable – have released a rather interesting survey report which is worth taking a look at in closer detail, as it confirms the suspicions we’ve been holding for quite some time.

The rise in cosmetic surgery demand from teens

Sep 26, 2017

As recent statistics – and a welter of newspaper reports – have borne out, teenagers are getting very interested in cosmetic procedures. Not only is the number of teens seeking plastic surgery growing, but the average age of first-time clients is being dragged down. There are many different factors which are being pointed out (or blamed) for this, but the reasons why aren’t as clear-cut as the media assumes.

Like all the other horror stories that puberty brings on – such as a breaking voice, hair where there wasn’t any before and an outbreak of acne – gynaecomastia can be one of the facts of life for a teenage boy.

Will my breast implants last a lifetime?

Sep 5, 2017

Both clients and practitioners are aware of the cost of a breast implant procedure, and both want the maximum return on the client’s outlay and the practitioner’s skill. So one of the first questions to come up during an initial consultation is an inquiry as to how long an implant will last. The thing is, it can be the equivalent of asking how long a piece of string is.

What makes a good breast lift candidate?

Aug 16, 2017

We’re all aware of the benefits of a timely breast lift procedure: it’s the most effective treatment for raising and firming the breasts without increasing the cup size, leaving the client with a new and vastly improved upper-body contour. It also works as a fix for sagging breasts, can reposition nipples for a more natural look, and reduce the appearance of enlarged areola. The jury came out on this one a long time ago: breast lifts work.

Why choose an independent plastic surgeon?

Aug 7, 2017

In the UK there are two approaches to plastic surgery. One option is to go with the big cosmetic surgery clinic chains. You know the type: they’ll have an office in all the major cities in the UK, they bombard potential clients through social media and online advertising, and they’ll have ads in all the newspapers and magazines. The other option is to go with an independent, experienced and highly qualified cosmetic surgeon.

Time, gravity and cosmetic surgery

Jul 16, 2017

There are many reasons as to why parts of our body sag over time. For starters, there’s a marked decline in the skin’s elasticity, robbing it of the ability to snap back into place when we lose weight. When it comes to breasts, however, other factors come into play, such as smoking, post-menopausal conditions which create collagen deficiencies and pregnancies (although breastfeeding has not been proved to be a cause).

How long will a facelift last?

May 16, 2017

The immediate benefits of cosmetic surgery are obvious: a part of the face or body that has been bothering you for ages gets tightened, or reshaped, or corrected, offering an instant transformation.

And when the effects wear off, will the treated area look worse than it was before?
