Pregnancy Rejuvenates: Debunking Myths & Embracing Its Beauty Benefits

Pregnancy Rejuvenates! Motherhood is Every Woman’s Desire but There’s a Perception That Pregnancy Wears Out a Mother’s Body Every woman desires motherhood, but there is a perception that the process of pregnancy wears down a mother’s body. Problems experienced in pregnancies that aren’t monitored well, weight gained during pregnancy that can’t be shed afterward, sagging after the enlargement of breasts, the formation of stretch marks, and loosening abdominal muscles might be factors causing this perception. Conceiving and giving birth without a break can also be challenging for the body. However, pregnancy isn’t always a deforming process. For instance, it is known that the increase in estrogen levels during pregnancy revitalizes the skin, strengthens the hair and nails, and imparts more rounded and feminine lines due to the increase in subcutaneous fat. Changes that extend to the months after childbirth actually make mothers-to-be look more beautiful and attractive. Studies conducted on male partners have shown that the process of pregnancy doesn’t reduce their sexual desires; in fact, they take pleasure in it as it expresses their masculinity. Stem Cells and Pregnancy Recent stem cell and pregnancy-related research has presented findings suggesting that the pregnancy process rejuvenates and repairs the mother. This

Don’t Let Your Breast Grow While Aiming for a Six-Pack

Introduction The doping nightmare of the sports world has been practiced since ancient times, but effective doping substances emerged after the advent of modern pharmacology. Moreover, not only a group of athletes focused solely on winning use these substances. According to a study conducted in 2014, 6.4% of men and 1.6% of women have taken such substances at least once in their lives. With the aim of increasing muscle strength and performance, the majority of these substances are anabolic androgenic steroids, substances with effects similar to testosterone. Anabolic Steroids and Breast enlargement in men Studies conducted on gym regulars have shown that these substances are usually obtained from a known doctor or pharmacy. Sales on the internet have been increasing in recent years. Sometimes these substances, hidden in food supplements, are delivered to your door. Since they are not developed as drugs, their ingredients, effectiveness, and side effects are often unknown. Some of these anabolic steroids turn into testosterone, while some can turn into both testosterone and estrogen. This situation can lead to double-sided side effects: with the effect of testosterone, the testicles that stop working shrink, sperm count decreases, acne appears, and hair starts thinning and falling out; on

Darwinian Aesthetics: Natural Selection in Hips

Introduction Research by anthropologists indicates that human hip structure began evolving with the onset of bipedalism. This new posture’s mechanical demands led to changes in hip muscles and lumbar angles. Interestingly, this transformation manifested differently in female and male hip structures. Female Hips Evolution Darwinian Aesthetics: The effect of estrogen promoting fat storage in the hip region and the expansion of the bone structure to facilitate pregnancy have led to broader female hips. Wide hips, symbolizing femininity and fertility, have always been preferred by men. Can we infer from this that even in modern times, this archaic symbol unconsciously continues to influence partner selection? Does this suggest that women with wider hips had an evolutionary advantage in finding partners and becoming pregnant? Essentially, have women’s hips been expanding over the last 50,000 years? Theoretically, yes, but we lack concrete measurements to support this. However, waiting a millennium for wider hips is no longer necessary. Thanks to cosmetic surgery, achieving fuller and more sculpted buttocks is possible within hours. Trends in Buttock Augmentation According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, buttock augmentation and lifting surgeries have been the fastest-growing procedures since 2014. The influence of popular culture is undeniable

DHI Hair Transplant vs FUE hair transplant
Hair Transplant

Innovation in Hair Transplantation: DHI Technique

A Brief History: From FUT to FUE Since its advent in 2002, the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique has revolutionized the hair transplantation industry, eclipsing the older Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method. While FUT involved removing a strip of hairy tissue from the nape and then slicing it into smaller units, FUE allows for the individual extraction of hair follicles. This progression led to more natural-looking results and increased patient demand for hair transplants. Limitations of Current Techniques Although FUE replaced FUT as the gold standard, the technique has seen minimal innovation over the past 15 years. Being highly skill-intensive, it has faced challenges in countries like the USA, which are relatively new to the practice. Robotics has been introduced to overcome these limitations, but it remains expensive and less effective compared to manual transplantation. Introducing the DHI Technique The most notable advancement in recent years is the Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) technique. Also known as the pen technique, DHI utilizes a special pen to implant each follicle directly into the scalp. This contrasts with the traditional FUE method, where horizontal slits are manually created in the bald area, and the follicles are inserted afterward. This two-step process in FUE

How Should You Choose Your Aesthetic Surgeon?

The Dangers of Relying Solely on Social Media In a world increasingly influenced by appearances, our healthcare choices are among the most impactful on our lives. The “Post-Truth” era, fueled by emotionally-charged narratives on social media platforms like Instagram, makes these choices even more complex. According to a study in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, only 17% of Instagram posts about plastic surgery are from board-certified specialists. This raises serious questions about the reliability of such platforms for medical advice. Guidelines from The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery To make an informed decision, it’s crucial to turn to trusted sources like the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, which provides the following guidelines for how to choose your aesthetic surgeon: Certification Checks: Confirm that the aesthetic surgeon has the necessary certification, a quality assurance usually granted after rigorous examinations. Expertise Matters: Look into the doctor’s experience concerning the specific procedure you’re interested in. Aesthetic Alignment: Determine whether the doctor’s aesthetic perspective matches your own. Comfort and Atmosphere: Evaluate the staff, location, and overall feel of the clinic to make sure you’re comfortable. Operational Logistics: Check where the surgery will be conducted and how. Support and Services: Ensure the clinic provides adequate organization,

The Lip Lift Surgery: Everything You Need to Know

Lip Lift Surgery, as performed by European Board Certified specialist Prof. Dr. Ferit Demirkan, offers a transformative procedure that redefines and accentuates the beauty of your smile. The upper lip length is a subtle but important variant in the overall balance of facial proportions.  There is a golden proportion between the upper and lower lip, which is 2:3. Even when the upper lip length is equal to that of the lower, the chin looks weaker, and the facial expression changes negatively. Moreover, a long upper lift is usually associated with a short vermillion height  (the red part of the lip), further enhancing the lengthened or sagging appearance of the upper lift. Lip lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to shorten the length of the upper lip, enhance the vermilion border, and increase the number of exposed teeth when smiling. The triple benefit of lip lift surgery has made it widely popular in recent years as more and more people seek to improve their appearance and boost their self-confidence. Lip lift surgery aims to create a more aesthetically pleasing lip shape, improve facial balance and symmetry, and increase the fullness of the vermilion border. The surgery can also correct age-related

Exploring the Pioneering Advancements in Liposuction: LASER and VASER Technologies

Liposuction, a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific body areas, has come a long way since its inception. Today, LASER and VASER technologies have revolutionized how surgeons like Prof. Dr. Ferit Demirkan perform liposuction, enhancing its precision and improving patient recovery time. This blog post delves into these innovative technologies and their intriguing role in aesthetic surgery. Liposuction techniques Traditional liposuction involves manually breaking up fat cells and suctioning them out. However, this method, while effective, can be quite invasive and lead to a significant recovery period. Enter LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) and VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) technologies. LASER Liposuction LASER liposuction utilizes laser energy to liquefy the fat cells before they are suctioned out. Prof. Dr. Ferit Demirkan introduces a small laser fiber through a cannula into the targeted fat deposits, and the intense heat from the laser melts the fat, which is then easily removed. One of the most compelling aspects of LASER liposuction is that the heat from the laser also stimulates collagen production in the skin, promoting skin tightening and resulting in a smoother, more toned appearance post-surgery. VASER Liposuction On the other hand, VASER

The Fascinating Science Behind Breast Augmentation

What is Breast Augmentation? Before we understand the science behind breast augmentation, we need to understand what is breast augmentation. Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a common plastic surgery procedure that has helped millions of women worldwide achieve their desired body image. But behind the scenes, the intricate combination of medical science and artistry that drives this procedure is nothing short of fascinating. Is Breast Augmentation Surgery the Same for Everyone? Breast augmentation is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Each surgery is as unique as the individual undergoing it, and the first step is a detailed consultation. During this stage, Prof. Dr. Ferit Demirkan, will evaluate the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals to formulate the most suitable surgical plan. The consultation also provides the opportunity to discuss and decide on the type of implant, placement location, and incision site, thus demonstrating the highly personalized nature of breast augmentation. One of the most intriguing aspects of breast augmentation is the science behind the implants. In the early days, silicone and saline were the only available options. However, scientific and technological advancements have broadened the horizons. Today, surgeons can offer their patients “gummy bear” implants – so named for

Rhinoplasty Recovery Time Journey

Rhinoplasty recovery time can be divided into two parts as physical, and psycholohical. Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that modifies the shape, size, or proportions of the nose. While much is discussed about the procedure itself and the immediate transformation it brings, the postoperative healing process is equally fascinating and significant. It involves not just physical healing, but psychological adaptation to a new self-image. Rhinoplasty Healing Process After Surgery After surgery, patients embark on a journey of healing and transformation that can last up to a year or more. Initially, swelling and bruising are the most visible signs of the procedure. Within the first week, Prof. Dr. Ferit Demirkan will typically remove the nasal splint, unveiling an early view of the new nose. While it’s an exciting moment for many patients, it’s important to understand that this is just the beginning of the healing process. Rhinoplasty Recovery Time Span Over the next few weeks, the swelling gradually subsides, and the actual shape of the nose starts to emerge. However, it’s important to note that full healing and final results may take up to a year or longer, depending on the individual’s healing capacity and the
