botonics Plastic Surgery Group, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, comment on recent findings which show increasing numbers of men undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures.
Non-invasive cosmetic surgery procedures such as dermal fillers and Botox have recently become very popular amongst businessmen, who are using these treatments to stay ahead in the job market. Such treatments leave clients with minimal downtime and can be performed quickly, and the inexpensiveness of such procedures has made them accessible to a wider clientele.
Having such procedures performed is believed by some businessmen to help them ‘edge out’ any competition from younger candidates in their field. Men are realising that appearance can make a difference to their prospects of obtaining a promotion or securing a job, and that those of them suffering from wrinkles and other signs of ageing may be discriminated against if they are competing for a job alongside younger men in their twenties and thirties.
“Investing in regular Botox injections or having dermal fillers could prove very worthwhile for businessmen, as it such treatments which can provide a career edge and help men to retain a more youthful appearance,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics Plastic Surgery Group. “The plastic surgery industry has previously been viewed as one dominated by female clients. However, the considerable rise in the number of men undergoing treatments for practical purposes is an indicator that these times have changed. We have seen a steady increase in the amount of male clients here at botonics Plastic Surgery Group, and are sure that this will continue in the future.”
botonics Plastic Surgery Group, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, comment on findings from a recent study which indicates that clients undergoing regular Botox injections can wait longer between treatments without sacrificing the results.
Fifty women between aged 30 and 50 were monitored in new research, and received Botox injections every four months for two years as part of the study. After this period lapsed, it was found that the women were able to maintain their effective results with a 6-month space between treatments.
This aptly demonstrates that individuals receiving Botox on a regular basis can afford to allow more time to lapse between treatments without compromising the effectiveness of the procedure. The results also found that Botox had the ability to prevent wrinkles from forming, in conjunction with effectively reducing the appearance of already-existing wrinkles.
“It has been known anecdotally for some time that regular users of Botox can afford to leave a wider gap between treatments, but to have it confirmed in a study is incredibly beneficial for our clients,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics Plastic Surgery Group. “At botonics Plastic Surgery Group, we offer flexible monthly subscriptions for botox and other treatments, allowing clients to pay-as-you-go. Subscriptions initially assume treatment every 4 months, but can be adjusted to every 5 or 6 months once the client has been treated regularly for a couple of years and is able to spread out the treatment interval.”
botonics Plastic Surgery Group, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, comment on the boost of liposuction enquiries following the revelation of Cheryl Cole’s ‘cankles’.
Since Geordie pop star Cheryl Cole stepped out for the American X-Factor auditions with noticeable ‘cankles’, it has been revealed that there has been a considerable rise in the amount of enquiries made into cosmetic procedures that eradicate the merging of the calf and ankle; mostly consisting of varying methods of liposuction.
‘Cankles’, which are defined as the area in the legs where the calf meets the foot abruptly with a lack of definition, have become a more heavily publicised ailment recently; with liposuction surgery becoming the ideal procedure for removing excess fat from the ankle area and thus emphasising bone definition.
“Women who previously have felt self-conscious about this part of their body can now feel more confident through a simple minimally invasive procedure,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics Plastic Surgery Group. “As botonics offers a full spectrum of liposuction technologies, including conventional liposuction, Vaser Lipo, and SmartLipo under various anaesthesias, we can give an unbiased opinion as to which, if any, procedure is suitable for a client, and help women to feel confident and have their legs on display this summer.”
botonics Plastic Surgery Group, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, advise on priority considerations they believe anyone thinking about getting cosmetic procedures need to make prior to surgery.
The Harley Street cosmetic surgery clinic suggests that, first and foremost, clients should ask for recommendations from friends and family regarding which surgeons and clinics are reputable and efficient. Once a list of potential clinics has been made, this should be narrowed down by researching the particular qualifications of surgeons at the practice. People should be especially vigilant with this if the clinic operates overseas.
botonics Plastic Surgery Group advises that prospective clients should weigh-up the potential risks of the procedure, whether a comprehensive breast augmentation or less invasive anti wrinkle injections, and talk about these with their surgeon, along with how much recovery time is expected post-op. Also, depending on the nature of the procedure, follow-up treatments may be necessary, so these – along with how much they would contribute to the overall effectiveness of the surgery and the additional cost – should be taken into account.
“We go the extra mile to offer expert advice and undergo in-depth, personable consultations with our clients to ensure that they are fully aware of all aspects of their chosen procedure, including what is involved in the procedure itself, any side effects, and how much downtime is involved,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics Plastic Surgery Group. “It is our practice’s aim to provide exemplary services to clients, and our surgeons will advise all clients on the considerations that need to be taken into account when undergoing their particular treatment, ensuring complete reassurance and effective results.”
botonics, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, comment on the growing acceptance of men undergoing cosmetic procedures.
In recent years, more and more men have opted for cosmetic surgery. Whilst it once may have been a taboo subject, many men now seem happy to admit visiting a cosmetic surgery clinic. botonics treat men on a regular basis for invasive and non-invasive treatments such as wrinkle fillers, liposuction, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and gynecomastia (breast reduction).
Cosmetic surgery has helped people regain lost confidence and boost their self-image for many years, but as it is now more affordable, more and more people are visiting cosmetic surgery clinics. People can now receive Botox touch-ups and other non-invasive procedures quickly and easily and now complex procedures such as rhinoplasty and breast reduction are becoming more popular with men.
“While women have traditionally been viewed as the more body-conscious gender, men now appear quite open to discussing their physical insecurities and seeking ways to fix them,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics. “We have treated many men with various procedures in recent years, and everyone has their own reasons for wanting to make slight adjustments. Whether it is to correct an issue that has bothered them for years or as a way to regain their confidence, men are now more open to cosmetic surgery than ever before.”
botonics, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, comment on the recent findings that age is not an independent risk factor in facelift surgery as previously believed.
A recent study conducted in Cleveland, USA, suggests than the age of an older person should not be the main determining factor when deciding if cosmetic surgery is appropriate. The Cleveland Clinic study examined how 216 women coped during and after facelift surgery. 148 of the women were younger than 65 and 68 were older, yet statistically there was no difference between the age groups.
However, while the results suggest that age is not an independent risk predictor, botonics believe that older patients should still be properly screened to ensure maximum attention to all possible areas. While the research indicated that older people were at no greater risk due to age than younger people, the participants were carefully screened and any with significant comorbidities were excluded, which led to the low complication rate.
“botonics have been providing facelift surgery for a long time now, and we provide each patient with the same careful attention irrespective of age,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics. “These findings are important as they show that older people can undergo cosmetic surgery as long as there is a full health screening and careful attention to medical history, though more research is needed to determine whether there be an ultimate age limit for facelift surgery. The botonics team is dedicated to providing the greatest pre- and post-procedure care, with thorough consultations and medical screenings to assess a patient’s eligibility for cosmetic surgery.”
botonics, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, comments on recent findings which showed that breast reduction is one of the most satisfying end-result surgeries for women.
A top online plastic surgery forum, which harbours a community of cosmetic surgery clients and physicians who share information on cosmetic procedures on the website, has revealed that 86% of patients consider breast reduction surgery to be “worth it”.
Women who undergo breast reduction surgery were found by the website to be among the most highly satisfied of all cosmetic surgery clients when compared to other users on the website, with breast reduction rating as one of the top 10 cosmetic surgeries in terms of client satisfaction.
“Possible explanations for these recent findings relate to the immense physical and emotional benefits that breast reduction brings to a client,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics.
“In many cases, the effects of breast reduction surgeries are able to surpass the effects of breast augmentation procedures, as reductions can help to diminish the chronic neck, back and shoulder pain brought on by large breasts, as well as enable women to feel less self-conscious about their appearance and attract less unwanted attention.
“At botonics, our professional and personable surgeons carry out breast reductions from our Harley Street clinic. Our clients experience the obvious change in outward appearance from this procedure, but feedback has shown that they also feel much more confident about their appearance and more comfortable wearing revealing clothes after treatment, too. We hope to offer these benefits to more clients in the future, and continue to contribute to these positive findings.”
botonics, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, reveal the large amount of clients they receive looking for cosmetic procedures during the Spring.
botonics has revealed that Spring is the busiest time at their Harley Street clinic, due to the surge in people keen to look good for the Summer. This is because clients will not experience too much downtime in the Summer months, and will be able to fully recover from their procedures in time for their holidays.
The specialist cosmetic surgery clinic believes that because for many people, cosmetic surgery procedures to correct areas of the body are a key part of instilling to self-confidence, more people become self-conscious of wearing more revealing clothing in the warmer months and turn to cosmetic surgery to provide them with the appearance they desire.
“It is perhaps the mounted self-pressure to look good in swimwear, shorts and overall more revealing clothes in the Summertime that makes people more likely to seek weight loss procedures during the Spring,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics. “People also tend to take up intensive exercise regimes and eat a healthier diet at this time of year, but this can actually draw people’s attention to stubborn areas of fat that simply can’t be removed. Undergoing liposuction or Vaser lipo to remove such pockets of fat during the Spring is often the best way to ensure that you are looking trim and have fully recovered from your procedure in time for Summer.”
botonics, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, highlight their concern for the administration of on the spot Botox injections at London’s Vitality Show.
The health, beauty and fitness consumer show, the Vitality Show, recently took place in London’s Earl Court, and featured exhibitors predominantly offering organic foods, yoga accessories and makeup to visitors. Controversially, the Show also played host to an exhibit which offers wrinkle-relaxing/lip-plumping injections and other medical treatments which visitors can undergo on the spot.
Cosmetic surgery specialists botonics believe that the non-surgical nature of Botox injections is what has led to it becoming a seemingly complacent procedure, which can be performed in environments which are not sterile, or administered by qualified medical professionals.
“Consumers must remember that Botox and dermal filler treatments are medical undertakings and must be done in sanitary surroundings, as we do at botonics in our Harley Street clinic specifically designed for such treatments,” commented Bill Green, Managing Director of botonics. “Full medical history should be provided to anyone performing these procedures to identify any possible allergic reactions. We provide consultations for our clients to ensure that they fully understand and are comfortable with the procedures we perform on them; ensuring that clients know exactly what to expect and can have their procedures performed safely and with effective results.”
botonics, London-based cosmetic surgery specialists who employ some of the most experienced medical professionals in the field, comment on the recent story of an American child who underwent cosmetic surgery.
Earlier this month, news emerged that a 7-year-old girl named Samantha Shaw, of South Dakota, had undergone a plastic surgery procedure to pin back her ears, known as an otoplasty. It was revealed that the young girl’s mother had insisted her daughter undergo the procedure in order to avoid schoolyard bullying because of her appearance; a decision which has caused much controversy across the US and UK.
Commenting on the story, Bill Green, Managing Director of cosmetic surgery clinic botonics, said: “It is our belief that children this young are not necessarily mentally mature enough to have a surgical cosmetic procedure.
“Granted, the case of Samantha Shaw demonstrates the positive intentions of a mother hoping to prevent her daughter from being bullied, but it is our strong belief that minor corrective cosmetic procedures like otoplasties are something which should be reserved for older teens and adults.
“Bodies do not stop growing until the late teens, so a procedure done too young can require corrective surgery later in life. Just because something can be changed, doesn’t mean it should be.
“We invite anyone with queries about the relation of age to our procedures to contact us to arrange a consultation for more information.”
I am left with a subtle change to my eyes and forehead that left me looking like I was at age 24. Although the physical changes to my face are subtle, my attitude and approach to my beauty regiment have changed dramatically- I wear less foundation, I feel confident to emphasize my eyes with makeup, and I can wear my hair back from my face- but most importantly, I smile more!

I had a SmartLipo procedure with botonics and I couldn't be happier with the results! The procedure was quick, relatively pain free and I was back at work in a couple of days. I look fantastic and I'm happy to wear all my skimpy summer clothes now!
