The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) reports that expenditures on plastic surgery dropped by about 20% nationwide in 2009. Meanwhile, a more recent report by the Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) shows that non-invasive cosmetic procedures rose 47 percent in 2010. Indications are that the growth will continue throughout 2011. And although many celebs swear they’re swearing off “lip-swelling” and “forehead-freezing” dermal fillers, an educated eye can tell differently.
According to Jacksonville plastic surgeons Dr. Phillip Garcia and Dr. Roberto Garcia of Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery, it’s more likely that they are continuing to receive injections like Botox, hence being treated in a less obvious way – one that is more complex and requires a higher level of skill than does the “done” look.
“The cosmetic and plastic surgery industry is advancing tremendously in terms of discovering just how much physicians can achieve via less-invasive procedures,” Dr. Phillip Garcia, a plastic surgeon says. “Increasingly refined treatment techniques can give a patient a more natural, refreshed look rather than that so-called ‘frozen’ look that occurs when a physician over does it a bit. And patients are rediscovering a beauty in growing older. They no longer want to look 30 years younger. They simply want to look fantastic at whatever age they are.”
Both Drs. Garcia are double-board certified plastic surgeons known throughout North Florida for their skill in creating a natural, youthful look for patients.
