Actress Frances Barber has been in the press this week having opened up about saving for a Facelift at the age of 54.
She quotes: ‘I’d be a hypocrite if I said I’d never get a facelift – I’m saving up for one – but it’ll be tiny adjustments. The kind of thing that just makes you look less tired.’
Frances is certainly not unique in wanting cosmetic surgery, however there are very few celebrities willing to admit they’ve succumbed to the siren call of cosmetic surgery, simply because they want to look younger.
The press have stressed that anyone looking at current pictures of Frances would have to conclude that she does not need a facelift, and I would have to agree. In support of this, her lack of cosmetic surgery has not affected her career, as she’s about to appear in the second series of the BBC1 prime-time courtroom drama, Silk.
Approximately 44,000 women have had breast implants in the last five years, with 10,000 women having visited a consultant for a breast augmentation in 2011 alone. With this year marking the 50th anniversary of the modern ‘boob job’ and recent reports indicating that 2012 will continue to be another record breaking year for procedures – I find it very interesting that the surgery still carries negative connotations for some.
Although the weather would suggest otherwise, Summer is fast approaching and this means that clients are starting to ask me for advice on how to best prepare their bodies for the beach. In particular I am seeing a lot of clients who are concerned about their stretch marks and want to feel confident in their body.
Clients often approach me about their cellulite and how to get rid of it – in my opinion the answer is VelaShape II, the newest non-surgical treatment for cellulite which is currently offered at my non surgical clinics.
In the current series of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, a lady discusses her decision to have cosmetic surgery abroad. This is fairly common for women seeking cheaper breast implants, however it is something that I do not recommend.
There has recently been a lot of speculation in the media about Katie Prices’ lips. She admitted last year that she once went mad with fillers and promised never to have her lips done again.
ePrime treatment is a 45 minute non-surgical facelift and is available to clients in my central London clinic. For many women as they approach their late 30s and early 40s they will begin to notice a change in their skin and the increasing appearance of wrinkles on the face. Having cosmetic surgery can be very daunting for someone at this age and ePrime offers an alternative way to achieve great results without having to go under the knife.
At last week’s Oscars ceremony Hollywood’s A-List were once again flaunting their most important accessory – perfect skin. But like many celebrity attributes, they weren’t born with flawless, party-ready skin. Most of the celebrities will have seen their beauty therapist in the hours before the ceremony to make sure that they were looking their best on the big day.
