(Aedit.com) - When most people think of lip enhancement, they think of fillers. But lip lifts provide a more defined Cupid's bow and crisper edges so you can skip lip liner all together.



Even before Kylie Jenner released her first Lip Kit or filled, unfilled, and refilled her famous pout, Americans have had an obsession with lips. Sometime in the last decade, plumping pouts with filler became almost as common as highlighting hair — just one more thing to add to the beauty maintenance list.

While temporary, hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers like Restylane are synonymous with a voluptuous (read: Instagram-friendly) mouth, longer lasting fixes have also taken hold. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were nearly 31,000 surgical (i.e. non-injectable) lip augmentations performed in the U.S. in 2018 — a 66 percent increase from 2000 and 4 percent boost from the previous year.

So, what's behind the surge? The lip lift, a far-from-new but largely under-the-radar…

Our enquiry inbox has been popping lately with ladies asking questions like “Can someone recommend me a good aesthetic clinic in Kuala Lumpur?” or “Can someone recommend me a good aesthetic doctor?”. These are common questions that we see frequently on forums and on our WhatsApp groups as well. There's more to this than meets the eye.

Popularity of a particular doctor or a clinic could be influenced by marketing hype or heavy online and off-line advertising. However, online popularity doesn't necessarily mean that the clinic is the best aesthetic clinic in town for all kinds of aesthetic procedures. 

Shockingly, many consumers still go to unregistered aesthetic doctors for their medical aesthetic procedures. If we wouldn't trust an unqualified car mechanic with our cars, why are we trusting an unqualified aesthetic professional with our face and body? Not every "aesthetic practitioner" is a qualified medical doctor and is properly trained to pe…

(Aedit.com) - Liquid rhinoplasty is the buzziest treatment in beauty, but it may not be for everyone. We spoke to Drs. Jason Roostaeian and John Layke to find out what you need to know about the non-surgical nose job.


Are you looking to improve the contour of your nose without going under the knife? You’re not alone. Non-surgical nose jobs, also known as liquid rhinoplasty, have become a sensation in recent years, with increasing numbers of patients seeking to solve their dorsal dilemmas with no downtime. Technically speaking, the procedure isn’t a rhinoplasty at all; it’s dermal filler (usually hyaluronic acid) non-surgically injected into the nose. The implicit promise in this procedure is a seemingly easy fix for a very common cosmetic complaint.
According to Los Angeles plastic surgeon Jason Roostaeian, MD, requests for non-surgical rhinoplasties are on the rise due to increased exposure on social media. “As more people talk about it and see it posted, of course everyone becomes i…

Platelets are a naturally occurring component of your own blood and play an important role in wound healing and tissue regeneration. Platelet Rich Plasma [PRP] therapy is the process of isolating platelets from the blood and concentrating these platelets to much higher concentration levels than normal, through the process of centrifugation. The result is Platelet Rich Plasma [PRP].



PRP treatment for face (also known as 'Vampire facelift') encourages collagen formation and improves blood supply to tissue, both of which are important factors in anti-aging therapies. Your skin texture will improve as the Platelet Rich Plasma stimulates new skin tissue growth.

PRP Therapy is a completely safe and natural treatment and is highly effective at improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, scarring, sun damage and dull, worn-out looking skin. PRP can be used to rejuvenate the face, neck, décolleté, back of hands, scalp and other body areas.

Other areas such as the brows, temples,…

Just as women can turn to a suite of procedures, known as the "Mommy Makeover," more men are embracing their own set of treatments, the "Daddy-Do-Over," to boost their confidence and improve their physical appearance. A new report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reveals that more than 1.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed on men last year alone, representing a 29 percent increase since 2000.
Similar to a Mommy Makeover, the "Daddy-Do-Over" consists of surgical and non-surgical body contouring and facial procedures that are typically performed in a single surgery. Due to this rising trend, plastic surgery is becoming a common Father's Day request as more men consider a surgical assist to enhance their physique and fend off the "dad bod" for a while longer. "Obviously, men don't go through the same physical changes that women experience during pregnancy and post-pregnancy, but their lifestyle does change, which…
