With more and more people hoping to be picture-perfect on their big day, Dr. Wigoda sees brides-to-be resorting to what were once considered extreme measures. Dr. Wigoda’s pre-wedding patients, whether male or female, have often already been thinking about cosmetic surgery and their impending nuptials are often simply at catalyst for them to make the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery.

“Typically, I see younger brides coming in for liposuction or breast augmentation a few months before the wedding. Brides in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s often come in for Botox or fillers. I also see family members, especially the mothers of the bride or groom, who come in for anything from injectables to facelifts.”

In this week’s post, South Florida plastic surgeon Dr. Wigoda takes on the challenge of figuring out what exactly happened to Mickey Rourke.  Is his boxing career to blame for the rapid decline in his looks or did he just pick a bad plastic surgeon?

Never fear, the glam squad responsible for manicures at Me Day Spa provided us with some great tips to save your manicure from complete destruction. So bring on the dishes and typing, your nails will be protected!

1. Go to a quality salon. Some salons may offer lower prices, but they don’t always take the time to apply your nail polish carefully.
2. Don’t skip the basecoat! The basecoat is what keeps the polish on your nail. Be sure it is applied across the entire nail – especially the tips where chips start!
3. Keep your hands out of the water. When washing dishes, wear rubber gloves.
4. Apply a high quality topcoat every day. Me Day Spa’s manicurists say this is the trick to extending a manicure several days longer than normal.
5. Treat a chip right away. Keep a home supply of the same type of polish used by your manicurist. As soon as you see a chip, fill it in and apply topcoat to keep the chip from spreading.

Here’s what Dr. Wigoda, Fort Lauderdale’s best plastic surgeon, had to say:

“Its pretty amazing what rhinoplasty can do! Ashlee Simpson went from a slightly-above-average-looking young lady to a very attractive woman.

From a plastic surgery standpoint, her surgeon did an excellent job with her rhinoplasty. She is not overdone and if we didn’t know her before, you wouldn’t know she had her nose done at all.

The goals when doing a rhinoplasty are:

• obtaining a natural appearance
• shaping the nose to fit the persons face
• not making the patient look like a completely different person(unless they are hiding from the FBI!)
• most importantly, shaping the nose so the patient can breathe easily.

It is fairly often that I improve a patient’s airway while making their nose look better. If you have trouble breathing through your nose, especially when lying down (and trying to go to sleep), it is quite annoying. This is the primary complaint of patients who consult with me for a rhinoplasty.”

Three cheers for appropriate use of plastic surgery Ashlee!

Consider the following questions when researching plastic surgeons. Keep in mind that the final choice of surgeon is yours and should depend on whom you feel the most comfortable with, not who is the cheapest or most well known.

1.    Is the surgeon a fully trained plastic surgeon?

In order to become a plastic surgeon, a physician must complete 4 years of medical school, at least 3 years of a general surgery residency, and at least 2 years of a plastic surgery residency. Fellowships are often done for additional training. All of these must be done at fully accredited programs.

2.    Is the plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?

In order to become a board certified plastic surgeon, a doctor must meet the requirements in question one and then pass a written exam. After being in practice for approximately one year, the plastic surgeon then must pass a three-day oral exam given by many of the national leaders of plastic surgery around the country. This is the only board that is important for a plastic surgeon.

3.    Where is the surgery being performed? Have there been any serious complications at the surgery site?

You should always ask if there have been any problems at the practice or surgery center where you will be having your cosmetic procedure There are some well known cosmetic surgery centers in South Florida where more than one death has occurred. Patients may not realize that the cosmetic surgery centers are businesses often owned, not by physicians, but by businessmen.

For more information and questions to ask your plastic surgeon before having a cosmetic surgery procedure, call Dr. Wigoda at (954) 463-7088.

But what if you can’t make it to the salon? How can you re-create Raymond’s catwalk-ready looks at home, and save some time in the process?

Easy. Take these five time saving makeup tips and you’ll be ready for your close up in no time.

1.  Always use a primer – Foundation primers are priceless when it comes to prepping skin for a smooth makeup application. Additionally, primer helps keep makeup on during a long day by preventing “makeup meltdown”.
2.    Loose powder is a necessity – Apply a loose powder on top of foundation to secure it for the whole day, cutting down on re-application time. Recent addition to the Me Day Spa product roster Alison Raffaele Cosmetics makes a great loose powder.
3.    Find a cream blush that doubles as a lip color – Using fewer products always means less time in the bathroom!
4.    Eye shadow makes great eyeliner – A quick swipe with some dark eye shadow is just as gorgeous for daytime as perfectly applied eyeliner.
5.    If all else fails, just go with mascara and gloss – Ever have one of those days where you just have no time for your usual beauty routine? Just grab your mascara, gloss, and go! Your eyes will still look awake, and gloss ads just a hint of glamour!
