Dr. Nicholas Nikolov shares his thoughts about the economy and aesthetic
Plastic surgery
is a commonality in our society now as has an increasing desire for
youth. In this economy, people are still getting procedures done,
though perhaps differently than before. Board certified plastic surgeon
Dr. Nicholas Nikolov
of The Nikolov Center for Plastic Surgery recently spoke with the
Beverly Hills Courier about his views on the economy and its effect on
plastic surgery. Appearing young is no longer just about vanity, it’s
about getting or keeping employment.
People are having procedures like facelifts
earlier in life rather than waiting until later. The result is a lift
to the appearance without looking fake or having had ‘work done.’
Patients are also opting for less invasive procedures which require
less downtime and have minimal scarring. Dr. Nikolov has perfected a
procedure he calls the “Nick-Tuck” which is a facelift that can be done
under local sedation for those patients who can’t or won’t go under
general anesthesia.
Women are not going as big on their breast implants,
rather they are opting for a more moderate, natural look. Large
implants can often make a woman feel as though she looks fat whereas a
smaller, more natural size can have a slimming effect.
Liposuction techniques have improved over the years and new laser lipo
devices are better able to provide spot fat reduction while improving
skin laxity. Further, these procedures have less downtime than the
traditional liposuction and tummy tuck combo.
