The tracheal shave, commonly known as Adam's apple reduction surgery, is one of the most frequent procedures included in facial feminization surgery treatment plans.  Medically, a tracheal shave is also one of the simplest operations many people will undergo as part of their transition since it can be done as an outpatient surgery using only local anaesthesia.  If the trachea shave is the only surgery that will be performed, it can be done under local anaesthesia as an outpatient procedure, or in an operating room under general anaesthesia, depending on your doctors' recommendations. However, many times Adam's apple reduction is...

  Cosmetic Surgery and Sexual Rejuvenation By popular request, I am going to talk about 'sex'.   Nothing naughty here, romance and sex are a big part of life.   If you ask senior women why they are getting cosmetic surgery many will reply that they are 'silver splitters' who want to look their very best for the dating market. For them, cosmetic surgery and sexual rejuvenation is a hot topic. It's no secret that sex-related renewal treatments have rapidly grown in popularity worldwide over the past couple of years. But last year saw a considerable rise in genital renewal, indicating that...

Although the terms 'plastic surgery' and 'cosmetic surgery' are often used interchangeably there is, in fact, a big difference between the 2 terms.  When you read about a well-known person having 'plastic surgery' it might only be referring to a small elective procedure like a brow lift or a vanity nose job.  The real meaning of plastic surgery is that it usually refers to a procedure that is essential or reconstructive. A 2017 report in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, found that people were confused between the terms “plastic” and “cosmetic” surgeons. I suppose that the major reason that cosmetic and...

The last 9 months have been a disaster for many businesses around the world but few have been as hard hit as the medical tourism sector.   By definition, its raison d'etre is to encourage people to travel abroad for their cosmetic surgery treatments and combine a holiday along with a reduced price operation in some exotic destination.   For 9 months the very idea to travel freely, let alone have a vacation have become a fantasy for cosmetic surgery tourists. But the coronavirus pandemic has hit medical tourism hard. In June, the number of weekly scheduled flights in the U.S. was...

A great deal has been blogged about the trend of 'Instagram face' and, especially, how it influences women. Last year, Instagram said that it would get rid of all augmented reality filters which portrayed or promoted cosmetic surgery amid worries that they were damaging people's mental health. Studies from around the world have confirmed that there is a correlation between these filters, body dysmorphia and a desire to get plastic surgery or 'tweakments' like Botox and fillers. Be that as it may, there are still augmented reality filters which guarantee to make you look 'snatched' which, essentially, means it will...

Dr Eppley is often referred to as the "Einstein of Aesthetics" Dr Eppley Evaluating new implants- this time, bicep Dr Eppley has built a pioneering...

Transgender surgery is a topic we have covered regularly in this blog.  Today we look at a very interesting study from Germany on the quality of life (QoL) experienced by transgender patients after their operations.  We also examine the latest trends in transgender surgery around the world. Scientists have developed a transgender-specific questionnaire, which confirms for the first time that gender surgery substantially improves lifestyle for the majority of patients. The report shows that 80% of male-to-female clients perceived themselves as females post-surgery. However, the quality of life of transgender people is still noticeably less than the general population. Many...
