Valentines Day Special!
Plastic Surgery Isn’t Just for Women
The desire to look your best is not reserved for women only. Men of all ages, occupations, and lifestyles choose plastic surgery to help them meet their goals. Whether you are concerned about looking younger, looking better in your clothing, or feeling more self-confident, Star Plastic Surgery will consult with you to determine what procedures may benefit you most.
Some of the most popular plastic surgery options for men include:
· Male Breast Reduction – The removal of excess fatty tissue found in the breast area which is caused by age, weight gain, genetic, or medical conditions.
· Abdominoplasty – The removal of excess fat and skin from the abdomen, creating a slimmer and more youthful abdominal profile.
· Facelift – Diminishes the face’s visible signs of aging, including deep creases, loss of muscle tone, and loose skin.
· Liposuction – Removes excess fat deposits to slim and reshape specific areas of the body, including thighs, waist, hips, back, chest, chin, and buttocks.
If you are a man, or woman for that matter, and would like to learn more about plastic surgery, please contact us at 248-735-3800 or www.starplasticsurgery.net/contact-us to schedule a free confidential consultation.
Women’s Happiness Doesn’t Affect Mortality
Many studies have been conducted that claim to link happiness and living a longer life together. “A study published on Wednesday in The Lancet, following one million middle-aged women in Britain for 10 years, finds that the widely held view that happiness enhances health and longevity is unfounded. Happiness and related measures of well-being do not appear to have any direct effect on mortality, the researchers concluded,” (NY TIMES).
“The results come from the so-called Million Women Study, which recruited women ages 50 to 69 from 1996 to 2001, and tracked them with questionnaires and official records of deaths and hospital admissions. The questionnaires asked how often the women felt happy, in control, relaxed and stressed, and also instructed them to rate their health and list ailments like high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, arthritis and depression or anxiety,” (NY TIMES).
The good news is that you can be as grumpy as you want and you can still live a full long life! Sadly though, making those grumpy faces can affect your face and create wrinkles where you may not want them. This is when you will want to call us for a few Botox shots or possibly other skincare treatments. Just because you want to walk around grumpy all day doesn’t mean you have to appear that way.
To get a head start on ridding of those wrinkles, schedule a free confidential consultation with us by calling 248-735-3800 or www.starplasticsurgery.net/contact-us

How to Recover From Your Plastic Surgery
Everyone always worries about the recovery time after getting major surgery done, which is normal and you should think ahead. The best way to prepare yourself is to come into surgery as a healthy patient from the start. Being a non-smoker, eating healthy, exercising, and being in mental and physical shape in general are all ways that you can be the ideal patient before plastic surgery. 
Common practices for speeding up the recovery process is eating lots of fruits and vegetables, taking supplements and vitamins. Make sure to tell your physician about whatever you may want to take so they can advise you accordingly. Prior to surgery, you will want to eliminate alcohol and reduce the caffeine and processed foods in your diet. This is also recommended during post-surgery as well.
To learn more about plastic surgery, schedule a free consultation with us and our doctors can guide you through the whole pre-op and post-op process. Please call 248-735-3800 or visit www.starplasticsurgery.net/contact-us
Pigeons that Identify Breast Cancer
Most of you know the pigeon as that pesky bird that sits in the streets with its pack of buddies in large cities. Some of you might not know that this well-known bird has a long history of working with humans to accomplish different tasks. Pigeons can detect emotions in people’s faces and even select certain letters in the alphabet. In today’s world however, the pigeon has evolved to much more important tasks. They are surprisingly very good at detecting cancer. After being shown images of human breast cells, they were able to spot malignancies (tumor). Now this doesn’t mean that the birds will be performing surgeries anytime soon, but it does prove the intelligence of the pigeon. While spotting tumors on images of breast cells is one thing, pigeons could be used for further medical advancements in the future whether it is cosmetic or traditional surgery.
Star Plastic Surgery in Novi, Michigan is up to date with all of the advancements in technology in the medical world and our board-certified plastic surgeons are ready to discuss any questions you may have about cosmetic surgery.

Don’t Be Another Statistic, Do It Right The First Time
There has been a rise in recent years of people traveling to get major surgeries performed. When it comes to a large medical expense, we all try and take shortcuts to find a cheaper price. Sometimes this includes going to a different country which is often known as “medical tourism”. Every major surgery has risks involved but by going to a different country your risk or something going wrong increases. When you have medical work done in a different country you have no legal protection and chances are you will not be dealing with a board-certified plastic surgeon or who knows, maybe it’s not even a real doctor.
Don’t get caught up with price or you could be another statistic like this common headline, “19 Americans infected during plastic surgery trips” (NBC News). Of course this is just one example of something going wrong overseas with surgery, but even just one example is a good reason to be cautious. Bargain surgery may not really be a bargain. This is your body and I doubt you want to risk a tummy tuck or nose job going wrong just to save a few dollars. Additional cost for revision surgeries and complications may cost you whatever the difference was if you had it done in the United States.
At Star Plastic Surgery, in Novi, Michigan, our board-certified plastic surgeons have performed over15, 000 cosmetic procedures. To schedule your free consultation here in the United States, please call 248-735-3800 or visit us at www.starplasticsurgery.net/contact-us.

Plastic Surgery Demands Increase This Holiday Season
The holidays can bring on all sorts of stress. Seeing family members, holiday parties, or traveling tend to cause us to think about our appearance more than normally would. Another reason for undergoing such procedures during the holiday season, the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery says: It’s the only time of the year when some patients can take a week or two off from job or school for post-surgical healing.
Nose jobs, eyelid surgery, Botox, and facelifts are all popular procedures during the holidays. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve, plastic surgeries spike about 25% because everyone wants to look their best for the holidays.
A huge trend that has started over the past few years has been the notion of gifting plastic surgery to others. It doesn’t have to be some extravagant surgery, it can be just a simple Botox or facial procedure. There has been an increase in recent years of people shopping for facial rejuvenation treatments for family and friends.
Speaking of friends and family, all of us at Star Plastic Surgery would like to wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Artificial Sweeteners vs. Sugar
With the holidays coming up, the concern of sugar and sweeteners and how they affect us become more relevant. Holiday treats are a common occurrence and the harmful effects are always in the back of our mind soon after consumption.
An analysis of randomized controlled trials, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2013, found that sugar-sweetened beverages alone cause body weight to go up in adults. In comparison, an analysis of randomized controlled trials of artificial sweeteners published in the same journal found that their use led to lower body weight and less overall fat.
The facts are there and the first step is to limit the amount of sugar consumed per week in order to prevent any health issues caused by an abundance of sugar. Everyone always says “feel great about the way you look”, and the first step in feeling that way is to just be healthy. If that isn’t doing the trick, there is always the option of plastic surgery on those areas you feel insecure about. Visit our website at www.starplasticsurgery.net to learn more.

How to Avoid the “Turkey Neck”
The holidays always tend to be a time where people start to worry about their appearance most. You begin to see family and friends you wouldn’t normally see and you want to look your best.

By removing excess fat and lifting the tissues and muscles in your face, our board certified plastic surgeons can use a face-lift to address problems such as “Turkey Neck”.
Star Plastic Surgery offers a wide variety of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. Our Face-lift is one of our more popular ones that will make you look years younger and enhance your facial features and self-esteem.
