2012: The Year of the 'Chinplant'

Chin implants, or ‘chinplants’, have taken the cosmetic surgery world by storm. They have become the fastest growing cosmetic surgery procedure, soaring by 71%, even surpassing the growth of popular procedures such as breast augmentation. Nearly 21,000 Americans with small, underdeveloped, or recessed chins opted for the procedure in the last year alone. The biggest jump has been in people over the age of 40, who are starting to get loose skin at the jaw line and see that a chin implant can make immediate improvements.

Cosmetic / Plastic Surgeons say the boost in ‘chinplant’ procedures was likely prompted by the rising use of video chatting, Facebook, and IPhone applications such as Face Time. People using these applications are repeatedly bothered by how they see themselves looking, which has in turn created an increase in cosmetic surgeon visits.

Hollywood and Botox Cosmetic, it is a mix that just seems to perpetuate speculation. Did they or didn't they? Will they or won't they? You try to guess, but who can really tell?

Sharon Osborne: "I think that Botox is one of the best things that's ever been created . . . there's no recuperation, it doesn't hurt. You literally go in, have it done and out!"

A Short History of Breast Implants

The first modern, silicone breast implant was placed 50 years ago, in 1962. Since then it has become part of the American culture. Most people have probably never given much thought about how the breast implant got its start, though. The BBC recently published an article, to honor the half-century anniversary of the implant, “A Brief History of Breast Enlargements”, and Houston’s top plastic surgery center, Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery, would like to share some of the highlights with you.

• 1890s: Paraffin was injected into the breasts but soon it was found to leak into other parts of the body.

• Through the years, non-surgical solutions have been tried: vacuum pumps, suction devices, a multitude of lotions and potions, and padded or inflatable bras.
