People from all over the country, from different backgrounds and social standings are all opting for cosmetic surgery for a range of different reasons. However, one thing that they will have in common if they are hoping to be satisfied with the results are realistic expectations, genuine reasons for the decision and a serious attitude towards it. Each year statistics surrounding cosmetic surgery show more people opting for procedures and this coincides with rises in the amount of men opting for procedures as well. It shows that you cannot predict the type of person to associate with cosmetic surgery.
Many factors could be at work here; new techniques and technologies will always make it safer; cosmetic surgeons continue to strive to help people and the scepticism that were once glued to the topic are being to disappear.
It means that many people are opting for cosmetic surgery treatments such as liposuction, (removal of excess fatty deposits), tummy tucks (removal of excess skin), breast enlargement (increasing breast size with breast implants), breast uplift, breast augmentation, breast reduction and many more. It is a popular area that is showing no signs of disappearing.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Many people are not satisfied with the colour of their teeth. A cosmetic dentist can offer two types of whitening processes. The first option is performed in the office. Laser teeth whitening is done at the dental office. It uses a light activated bleach gel to whiten the teeth. It takes about an hour or two to complete and is recommended to be followed up by a professional home whitening treatment.
Before you have the whitening procedure your dentist will speak with you concerning your suitability for the procedure and the risks and possible side effects. You may be asked to sign a consent form confirming your understanding to the risks. Before the process is started, your dentist or dental assistant will thoroughly clean the teeth to remove any plaque or buildup. This is often called scale and polish. Next the shade of your teeth will be recorded using a shade guide or a digital photograph.
To prepare for the procedure, your dentist will usually cover the gums to protect them from the bleach compound so that the only exposed area is the teeth. Cotton rolls and protective gel that hardens when applied to gums is used to protect the gums. The cheeks and lips are pulled back away from the teeth using a cheek retractor. The whitening gel is applied to the surface of the teeth and a laser light is put in front of the mouth so that the teeth are exposed to the light. During the process if your tongue or lips begin to burn, you should inform your dentist immediately. The gel is removed after fifteen minutes and the process is repeated two more times. The final removing of the gel and gum protection reveals a dramatic change in whiteness and can be up to ten times whiter. The final results are documented with a digital photograph or shade chart and recorded next to the starting photograph.
