WIStv.com Columbia, SC: Health Alert: Plastic surgery: "(National) April 27, 2006 - Does America 's make-over mania tempt you to do some radical reconstruction? Plastic surgeons says it's important to get the facts. Most warn against an all-at-once re-do.
When 52-year-old Gail Alba first met Doctor Allen Rosen, she knew she was looking for a change, 'I was very dissatisfied with my whole self. I wanted a whole life change.'
Doctor Rosen asked her to prioritize her concerns, then he recommended safely combining certain procedures. They first planned an eyelift with a facelift, the next year a tummy tuck and breast lift, later other body contouring.
Dr. Rosen says, 'We were able to take her over a three-year period of time to the place she wanted to be.'
But today's patients often have unrealistic expectations. Doctor Rosen and Doctor Valerie Ablaza wrote a book to debunk current myths about cosmetic procedures.
Dr. Ablaza warns that it's not as easy as it looks on TV, 'They think it's just an easy snap your fingers. That's how sometimes it's portrayed on TV, that they're ready for a walk down the red carpet in a week after having five different things done. And we're here to tell it like it really is, what the reality is.'
Truth is, real surgery has real risks. Dr. Rosen knows patients can go too far, 'I talk about it like we do extreme sports, which is very dangerous. Extreme surgery is ridiculous. I think that anything that's extreme by definition means you're overdoing it.' "

Men Over Fifty Are Changing the Face of Cosmetic Surgery
Men Over Fifty Are Changing the Face of Cosmetic Surgery: "Men Over Fifty Are Changing the Face of Cosmetic Surgery
50plus Online Magazine (www.50plusMag.com) reports that more and more men in the 50+ age group are having cosmetic surgery to help them look younger and attractive. Like women, they have discovered the benefits of cosmetic surgery -- both personally and professionally.
(PRWEB) April 11, 2006 -- 'The stigma of vanity seems to be gone,” says Gary Geyer, Editor of 50plus Online Magazine, (www.50plusMag.com) “Men aren't afraid to admit that they're considering the idea.”
In a featured article called, 'Cosmetic Surgery for Boomer Men. Why Not?,' 50plusOnline Magazine (www.50plusMag.com) reports that for men in this age group, the decision to have a facelift is usually part business, part personal. Today, there are a growing number of mature business men who are concerned with not just looking more attractive but being more competitive on the job.
“Let’s face it,” Geyer said, “Society still puts a premium on youth. 50 year old executives are often competing with guys who are 20 years younger. The perception is that a 30-year-old is willing to work harder, and for a lot less money”."

'Tis the Season for Cosmetic Surgery - April 14, 2006 - The New York Sun - NY News: "The last I heard, the fountain of youth is still an elusive dream, but that doesn't mean man can't give nature a helping hand. As we approach that time of the year when we exhibit more of our body beautiful - and not so beautiful - at beaches, golf courses, outdoor tennis courts, and barbecues, which many New Yorkers are doing, it's turning out to be a boon for the city's cosmetic plastic surgeons.
'People are getting ready for summer: They want to get their bodies in shape and business is booming,' one of the city's leading plastic surgeons, Dr. Michelle Copeland, says. She says she's done a record number of cosmetic procedures so far this year, up about 20% from a year ago."
