The Five Stages Of Cellulite

Cellulite is the scourge of many women and it affects 85–98% of post?pubertal females of all races. It doesn’t matter whether you’re slim, sporty or chunky, cellulite can affect women of all shapes and sizes. However, it’s not just a one step process. There are actually five distinct stages during which cellulite forms. Find out more about them so you can start to halt cellulite or remove it with cosmetic treatments and procedures.

The first stage that occurs is a lack of blood flow to a specific region, such as your buttocks, thighs, legs or stomach. Poor circulation to an area means that organic matters will not be as efficiently drained from there. This can cause the second stage, where the veins in the area become weakened due to lack of blood flow, making it possible for blood to pool and create more pressure on the skin.

The third stage occurs a few months later, when restricted drainage eventually leads to the swelling of fatty tissues beneath the skin. At this point, cellulite first becomes visible. During stage four, fibrous connective tissues below the skin begin to clump together due to the excess of fluid, pushing the fatty clumps more firmly against the skin.

In stage five, the blood flow to the region bypasses the areas where fatty cells are most tightly clumped together and a lattice like appearance begins to be noticeable under the skin.

Unfortunately, the signs of cellulite can’t always be removed by exercise and diet alone, although they can be instrumental is stopping its formation in the first place.

Proof Plastic Surgery Makes You Look Younger

There are many cosmetic surgery procedures that are dedicated to making you look younger, but there are sometimes questions about how successful these procedures can be. However, a recent study has found that plastic surgery really can reduce the signs of ageing.

According to the results of this new Canadian study, you could look on average 7.2 years younger after undergoing cosmetic surgery to minimise the tell-tale signs of ageing. The researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada and the NorthShore University Health System in Evanston asked a group of 40 first-year medical students to rate the ages of 60 different patients.

The patients had undergone a variety of treatments, including 22 who had face lifts and neck lifts only, 17 also had surgery on their upper and lower eyelids and 21 had the first two procedures as well as forehead lifts, and the students were then asked to estimate the ages of the patients.

The LA Times reports that the students overall guessed that the patients 1.7 years younger than their actual chronological age before surgery and 8.9 years younger afterwards.

Overall, the study suggests that the effects of cosmetic surgery in reducing the signs of ageing are obvious to other people, and not just the recipients.

Cosmetic Surgery To Improve Your Career?

Whether it’s to turn back the signs of ageing or deal with an aspect of an individual’s appearance, cosmetic surgery is generally thought to be a personal decision – however, there is recent evidence to suggest that it could also quite commonly become a professional one.

Research by Anthony Elliott, a professor of sociology at Flinders University, has uncovered a growing number of professional executives choosing to go under the knife. Over a period of five years, he recognised a significant increase and pinpointed two key reasons for the change.

One, that age discrimination in the work place is a fear and many people look to cosmetic surgery to combat the physical signs of ageing and, two, that cosmetic surgery is perceived as a way to boost a flagging career.

Dr Elliott suggested than one of the reasons for the increase in these concerns is globalisation, which he believes is creating great economic and lifestyles changes.

Age discrimination can be a problem for many people in the workplace, where appearance is sometimes stacked up against experience and found as more desirable. This can vary from field to field, with the problem being far more widespread in some industries than in others.

Many people also choose to undergo cosmetic surgery as a way to deal with something that has been affecting their confidence for a long time, so it stands to reason that this choice may also be business orientated – that if they are more confident in themselves they will be more confident in the workplace too.

Benefits Of Breast Surgery Can Include an Improved Sex Life

For many women, breast surgery is a way to make them feel beautiful and more confident about their body, especially in an area they may have been uncomfortable about before. Now there are official figures to suggest that having a breast augmentation can increase satisfaction in the bedroom.

In a recent study in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, it was discovered that the majority of women choosing breast surgery also enjoyed an improved sex life.

Thirty-four per cent of the women who took part, having had either breast surgery or a breast lift, said they’d experienced an overall increase in satisfaction with their sex life while 61% reported that they had sex more frequently. What’s more, 70% reported that their sex life satisfaction had increased overall since undergoing surgery.

It is unsurprising that when someone undergoes a treatment to improve their confidence, that this improvement will carry into other areas of life – such as the bedroom. Many of the women who choose breast surgery are unhappy with underdeveloped, overly large or uneven breasts, and freedom from these worries can greatly improve self-esteem.

The community site also found that majority of women rated their breast procedures as ‘worth it’.
