Plastik surgery clinic
No gymnastics, ointments or commercially available hormones or even massage can enlarge the breasts. "Sugar" implants ( Monobloc®) are preferred by the clinic because it is a biologic filler that degrades to sugar by the enzymes of the body. Saline and methylcellulose are totally harmless substances and in case of leakage they are totally absorbed.
To have full, pouting lips appears to be one of the characteristics for beauty. The subcutaneous tissues and the muscle loose their elasticity due to hormonal changes making the skin thinner and the upper lip longer. The border between the white and red skin of the lip, vermilion or lip roll is in the younger lip well defined and elevated. This structure diminishes with ageing.
A face-lift changes the "coating" of the skin like the tailor changes clothes to fit. Excesses are removed but the quality of the "fabric" stays the same. The predisposing characteristics of the face do not change, which means, a face-lift cannot make someone beautiful unless they were so before. A tired appearance, however, can change to a less tired look.
The relationship between the different parts of the face has a fundamental aesthetic importance. Well-marked cheekbones give an aesthetic framing of the eyes, often illuded by a well-made make-up.
