Some forms of plastic surgery for people this young are more understandable than others, such as those that fix a very noticeable defect or problem like the removal of a birthmark. But procedures simply to change the appearance, like breast implants or rhinoplasty require serious consideration by both the parents and the doctors involved. The teenage body and features may not be fully formed, making cosmetic surgery riskier than in someone who has stopped growing. Many teenagers don’t stop to think about the surgical aspects like any drawbacks, complications, and healing time involved.

Parents of teenagers who want some type of plastic surgery to improve their looks should look carefully into their child’s motivation. If your son or daughter feels that he or she is flawed or imperfect, this may be a sign of emotional issues that go beyond what that child sees when looking in a mirror or why they see the imperfections.

Until Next Time,

Alexander Sinclair M.D.

Dr. Alexander Sinclair MD, a prominent Beverly Hills, board certified plastic surgeon expects Latisse to become a mainstay of eyelash aesthetic treatments in the near future.

Latisse is a recent introduction to the world of cosmetic treatments, and the first FDA-approved product for the growth of upper eyelashes. Regular daily application of Latisse results in the growth of new, thicker, darker upper lashes in 80 percent of the women who use it as directed.

Lash enhancement is a world known practice dating back to the first dynasty in ancient Egypt (approximately 2920-2770 BCE).  Noble and wealthy citizens applied kohl, a mixture of metal and soot, to lashes and brows to bring definition to the eyes.

Today, mascara is currently the most popular makeup product used by women, according to a 2008 report by NDP, Marketing Group  About 83 percent of American women report using mascara, compared with only 64 percent who use lipstick.

“A female patient remarked that every woman who uses mascara has been waiting for a product like Latisse,” said Dr, Sinclair. “Most of my patients feel on some level that beautiful lashes are priceless.”

While mascara has served mankind well for many years, Latisse is revolutionary in the sense that it is the first-science based approved product to grow eyelashes.

Latisse is applied once a day to the eyelid with a disposable applicator.  It is applied only to the base of the upper lashes only-not lower lashes-where the eyelash meets the skin of the upper lid.

Applications must be made daily to see the effects of Latisse, which begin to appear within 4 to 8 weeks of initial application.

Full effects of the Latisse treatment will become visible at 16 weeks after the first use, and can be maintained as long as the regular application is maintained.

Available only by prescription, Dr Alexander Sinclair MD, encourages prospective users to call and make an appointment with his office today to see if Latisse is right for them.
