Plastic Surgeon in Sacramento Discusses Lip Augmentation Popularity
Sacramento, CA — At his Sacramento plastic surgery practice, Dr. Charles Perry says he has seen a significant increase in demand for lip augmentation procedures to enhance the volume and fullness of lips. While Dr. Perry says a majority of the interest comes from his female patients, men have also played their part in the rising number of requests for the procedure. He says surgical lip augmentation has made immense strides in helping patients achieve a more voluptuous lip shape than possible with dermal fillers thanks to an effective and safe procedure.
According to the latest statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), lip augmentation procedures have increased by 49% to over 25,000 since 2010, the second highest increase of any cosmetic procedure (surgical or non-surgical) over the past year. With an overall rise of 5% in the popularity of cosmetic surgery according to the ASPS report, Dr. Perry says newer procedures like lip enhancement have had a drastic impact in shaping patient views about aesthetic treatment. He says patients of all ages are seeing the advancements in lip augmentation as an effective means to improve their appearance by making subtle, yet noticeable changes to the volume and vitality of their lip shape.
As a plastic surgeon in Sacramento, Dr. Perry says he sees a majority of female patients in their forties requesting lip augmentation; however, the procedure is rising in other patient demographics as well. He says more permanent lip implants and lip lifts are becoming popular procedures for women of all ages and men between the ages of 30 and 50. While younger patients often seek the procedure in preparation for an upcoming event or special occasion, Dr. Perry says his older patients have found that surgical lip enhancement can help them maintain the youthful vibrancy in their appearance. He says the time of year also is a factor in patients’ decision to undergo lip augmentation, as younger patients typically come to his practice for the procedure during the spring and summer and his more mature patients find the fall a more enticing season for enhancement of their lips.
“We believe in helping patients achieve their goals. This often involves a consultation and then a discussion of the different options and products for most. However, for seasoned patients, the process is often abbreviated as they will know just what it is they need in order for them to look their best, and we simply follow their lead,” says Dr. Perry.
Regardless of age or reason for undergoing a cosmetic procedure, Dr. Perry says consulting with a board-certified and experienced plastic surgeon is essential for achieving the proper results. He stresses the need for choosing a practice who is dedicated to personalized care, particularly with lip augmentation, as the procedure requires special intricacy and precision because of the position of the lips as a central focal point on the face. Dr. Perry says partnering with a passionate and qualified surgeon means patients can achieve a fuller volume to their lips and a more confident outlook on life.

Plastic Surgeon in Sacramento on Facelift Combinations
At his Sacramento plastic surgery practice, Dr. Charles Perry says he has seen a significant growth in demand for facelift procedures since the beginning of the new year. Now in the top five cosmetic surgical procedures according to the latest American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) statistics, Dr. Perry says facelifts are commonly being combined with other treatments such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facial implants, brow lift and laser rejuvenation to further enhance the quality of results that can be achieved by plastic surgeons.
According to the recently released 2011 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), facelifts have made a resurgence in popularity amongst Americans, increasing by 5% since 2010 to approximately 119,000 performed, and have found their way into the top five cosmetic surgical procedures for the first time since 2004. Dr. Charles Perry, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Sacramento, says he has observed a similar trend at his practice and believes the origin of the rising demand for facelifts to be linked to the common request for combined facial procedures as well as an aging baby boomer population. “People are excited about taking control of their appearance, and we believe in helping our patients achieve their goals. As the boomer generation reaches later stages in life, many of our patients are looking to maintain their appearance and reduce the signs of aging through a natural looking procedure. We also are seeing younger patients now in their forties and fifties looking to maintain their appearance in the most effective ways for their individual needs.”
With the growing popularity of facelifts, Dr. Perry says he has also been performing more combinations of facial procedures such as brow lifts and eyelid surgery in Sacramento on patients in their mid forties and fifties. He says undergoing multiple procedures at once offers a number of benefits to patients, including reduced downtime and recovery, as well as noticeably enhanced results in improving one’s appearance and helping one look and feel younger more harmoniously. Dr. Perry adds that with rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and facelift all in the top five cosmetic surgical procedures performed, the popularity of facial procedures will undoubtedly contribute to greater advancements and improvements in the techniques and technology available to doctors and patients.
Dr. Perry says the combination of procedures is especially exciting in the cosmetic enhancement environment. “The combination of new technologies is allowing for individual customization of procedures. These new tools address the many different signs of aging in a more complete way. And as our patients are more educated about the many options available they often are requesting several procedures at once to achieve the look they desire.”
Whether patients are looking for a combination of facial procedures or a single procedure like a facelift in Sacramento, Dr. Perry says he strongly recommends consulting with an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon before undergoing any treatment. He says partnering with a board-certified plastic surgeon ensures patients receive the highest level of care from a passionate and personable practice. “We find that plastic surgeons that maintain their board certification are often the ones that have dedicated themselves to a life-long learning process. While this is no guarantee of excellent results, being board certified demonstrates a commitment to excellence. By doing their homework, patients can find that surgeon that has dedicated their professional life to achieving excellence as viewed by their colleagues.”

According to a recent study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the overall demand for cosmetic procedures increased by 9% in 2010. As the holiday season looms and patients begin to seek aesthetic enhancements for the coming parties and gift exchanges, Sacramento plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Perry says there are a number of ways to improve patient confidence through cosmetic enhancements and lifestyle changes. Dr. Perry discusses tips for staying healthy and looking great during the holidays through dietary and lifestyle choices, as well as surgical procedures like breast augmentation in Sacramento.
At his Sacramento plastic surgery practice, Dr. Charles Perry says he has seen an increase in demand for plastic surgery as many of his patients are gearing up for the holiday rush of gift-giving and social gatherings. The latest statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) confirm an increase in overall cosmetic procedures as well over the past year, with a growth in demand of almost 9% in 2010. The ASAPS also shows a rise in U. S. approval of cosmetic enhancement to over half (51%) of the population.
Because of the increased awareness and demand for cosmetic enhancements, Dr. Perry says patients should be aware of their lifestyles and make conscious, active decisions to stay healthy in order to maximize the results such procedures can achieve. He also adds that even if patients are not seeking a cosmetic enhancement through such procedures as a facelift or laser skin resurfacing in Sacramento, they can still take action to look and feel great during the holidays by eating and sleeping well. “There are three ways we have found to maintain your sanity and vibrancy; take time to nourish your body with the right foods, sleep, and exercise. One of the ways you can do this living in the Sacramento Valley is by eating the fruits and vegetables that are in season and grown locally. Also, schedule your sleep cycle and make it a habit. We feel better, sleep better and look better when we use our bodies.”
By practicing healthy lifestyle choices, Dr. Perry says patients can fight the inevitable stresses of the holidays and feel confident in their bodies. However, he also says that sometimes living healthy and staying active can still fall short of a person’s desired aesthetic appearance and can take more time than many have available. Through enhancements such as a mommy makeover in Sacramento, Dr. Perry says plastic surgery can give patients the extra emphasis to naturally complement their body. He adds that there are a number of procedures that can increase confidence and happiness in patients. “Facelifts and liposuction are also popular this season as they afford a more dramatic change to the appearance and can be an early Christmas present to one’s self.”
Regardless of whether patients are seeking a cosmetic enhancement through plastic surgery or a healthy change in their daily routines before the holidays, Dr. Perry suggests consulting with a board-certified surgeon before undergoing any type of procedure. He also adds that selecting a dedicated and passionate doctor will ensure the best results for each individual’s needs. “It is always a very individualized choice and an exciting time to be making changes for the upcoming year.”

Plastic Surgeon in Sacramento Discusses Possibility of Surgically Implanted Bombs
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was recently briefed by the federal government on new intelligence that shows terrorists could be using breast implants as surgically implanted bombs. At his Sacramento plastic surgery practice, Dr. Charles Perry discusses the likelihood of such an event, and how a terrorist could turn a procedure like breast augmentation into a potentially destructive threat.
The federal government recently briefed the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on the potential threat of breast implant bombs. While the information does not constitute an immediate threat, Sacramento plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Perry says the ability to turn breast implants into bombs is a real possibility. “Conceivably, a sterile device could be manufactured that would detonate inside a breast implant. All it would need is a propellant, an igniter, and a detonating receiver.”
However, Dr. Perry says he finds it extremely difficult to believe any doctor would so blatantly ignore their Hippocratic oath to do no harm. He adds that even if a doctor were to cast aside his extensive training and commitment to helping people, the breast implants turned explosive devices would have a different appearance and feel.
Despite the ability to conceal a device from the naked eye, Dr. Perry believes the advanced body imaging devices used by the TSA would be able to detect a breast implant bomb. However, he adds that while a device someone had swallowed or implanted elsewhere on the body would look suspicious, a device within a breast implant may not warrant a red flag.
Regardless of the potential that exists for using cosmetic enhancement procedures such as breast augmentation to carry out a terrorist plot, Dr. Perry says he remains doubtful. While this may be a viable option conceptually, now that the TSA and federal government are aware of the threat, he says the ability to successfully implant and detonate a breast implant bomb seems unlikely.

Dr. Perry Discusses Living Well in Sacramento, CA
Dr. Charles Perry recently decided to practice what he preached to his Sacramento plastic surgery patients. As he turned 40, he says he was compelled to follow the methods for aging well he commonly stresses at his practice, which includes a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and aesthetic maintenance with minimally-invasive procedures such as BOTOX injections®, dermal fillers, and Restylane.
Dr. Charles Perry is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Sacramento, CA. As he turned 40, he says he decided it was time to start following the advice he gives his patients by implementing some better lifestyle habits. In a recent post entitled “Purpose Driven Plastic Surgery – Aging, Diet, and Exercise,” Dr. Perry describes the steps he took to get in shape and lose weight, as well as the common signs of aging that can be delayed through well-known minimally-invasive procedures, such as BOTOX Injections®, Juvederm, and Restylane.
As summer approaches, Dr. Perry says many of his patients consider a wide range of procedures to help them prepare their bodies for the season. While common consultations address surgical cosmetic enhancement procedures ranging from breast augmentation to liposuction, Dr. Perry says he also stresses the need for a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, as well as less-invasive procedures to help patients maintain their dedication to looking and feeling good.
In the recent post, he outlines his approach to losing weight by being more food-conscious and deciding to train for Olympic and half Ironman Triathlons. However, in the post he also discusses the side-effects of losing weight later in life, and says he has had to adjust his skin maintenance plan, so he will continue to look as young as he feels.
Ultimately, Dr. Perry says the changes he made helped him regain his zest for life after losing over 35 pounds and 7 inches around his waist. He adds that he hopes his experience provides a source of inspiration for his patients as they pursue the body they desire ahead of the approaching summer season.
