Face Lift Punta Gorda Florida with Dr. Michael Stampar

Look Younger At Any Age with Pellevé and Sculptra® Aesthetic

By Michael Stampar, D.O.

How, after 21 years in facial plastic surgery, can Dr. Michael Stampar guarantee a more youthful appearance in just one day, without pain or downtime, whether you are 27 or 77? Aging causes a gradual loss of soft tissue volume and collagen support in the face, resulting in flattening, softening and eventual sagging of the skin. The soft tissues over high cheekbones flatten, eyes become “puffy” and tired looking and the normal youthful, rounded curves of the midface are replaced with lines, grooves and hollows. When surgical procedures are done without considering volume loss and collagen restoration, a patient's skin will look smoother and tighter for a short time, but not younger! To truly make the majority of aging faces look 5–10 years younger at any age, firming and smoothing the skin envelope and restoring soft tissue volume loss is key. The most painless, reliable and longest-lasting procedure to do so  involves combining non-surgical, deep, thermally induced skin tightening using the Pellevé skin tightening and wrinkle reduction procedure with true natural collagen volume restoration by injecting deficient areas with Sculptra® Aesthetic. Over the past four years, Stampar has  perfected this combined approach to the aging face, training other specialists and treating hundreds of patients of all ages without major complications or a single revision. He has perfected the Pellevé procedure to reliably and painlessly smooth and tighten facial and neck skin, with the results lasting for two years or more. For patients looking to reverse or stall the facial aging process, Pellevé serves as the cornerstone for maintaining facial firmness, smoothness and collagen retention. The procedure's results are immediate and improve over months, with one to three treatments lasting 18–36 months. If maintained every 18– 24 months, the results are never fully lost and require only touch-up procedures to maintain a more youthful look, especially when combined with  Sculptra® treatments. Sculptra® Aesthetic provides true volume restoration resulting from new collagen formation that has been observed to last longer than any artificial filler or fat, with 80 percent persisting after two years. Sculptra®is placed artistically in small amounts, allowing for accurate restoration

regardless of the location, shape or severity of the soft tissue inadequacy. Through these two procedures, Stampar can truly sculpt your facial tissues, with the Pellevé wand firming skin and erasing wrinkles and the Sculptra® injections restoring your natural, more youthful facial shape. Radiesse®, another type of soft tissue filler, can also be used in volume restoration and line filling for more immediate results in appropriate patients.

 “Although a well-performed facelift can take years off advanced aged faces, nothing restores or retains a person’s prior natural, more youthful appearance like volume restoration does," Stampar said. "Most of us age by 'deflation and descent.' The combination of non-surgical skin tightening with Pellevé and Sculptra® Aesthetic volume restoration has allowed me to make my patients look younger at any age. After all, most of us just want to look a little more like we used to. As I say, 'Pick an age and stick with it!'"

Time for Radical Change

By radicalchange

In June I swore to myself I was never going to let another birthday go by where I didn’t have a party or some great plan or someone fun to hang out with. I can’t tell you how many June’s I’ve made that promise to myself- the promise that I was going to change so that by the time the next year came around and another birthday passed things would be different- definitely that I’d have more friends, more fun, maybe some presents or cards from someone besides my grandma and my car insurance company.

Now, everything bad in my life is not my ex-husbands fault. I was either a passive participant or chose not to do anything for a very long time about things I knew needed to change. I’m come to the realization that NOT DOING ANYTHING can become a very terrible habit. It is very alluring, especially when you are always operating from a place where you are tired, sad, lonely, feeling depressed and unable to see how change could ever make things better anyway. The big thing is to work hard to change the default setting in my mind from NOT DOING ANYTHING to DOING SOMETHING even if it is just something small and it’s nearly all that really needs to be done to fix the problem- it is still something which is way more than nothing ever is.

I’ve gotten more done to CHANGE myself and how I feel inside in a few months using this method than I was able to do in years before. It used to be that when I decided that things were horrible and needed to change I’d go on a big crusade to change everything all at once. Most of the time this lasted a day or a week or a month, but the big change never stuck. Eventually things would drift back down to basically the way they used to be whether it was the state of the house, my weight, not taking any time to do anything fun.

Model Mayhem Loriana Warnelo interview

Loriana Warnelo the next VS model?

An Interview with Model Loriana Warnelo

 

http://www.lorianawarnelo.com

 

By Barry Moser, Manhattan, New York

 

I had the pleasure of interviewing what looks like the next major hot lingerie/bikini model of 2010, Loriana Warnelo in Manhattan this week.

My first question was how would you feel about being the next VS model? With a laugh, she said “Are you kidding? That would be awesome”. As I fired off my list of

questions, the one thing I noticed was the straight forwarded answers she gave.  No fluff, no embellishment, just honest answers from a

humble person. Not what I am used to seeing in this business.

 

Q1:  Where have you been?

A:    Laughing she says “working, of course. There is no such thing as an overnight success. I’ve been modeling for a long time now.”

 

Q2:  How do you keep in shape?

A:    I work out 4 times a week. For me, it’s about being toned and healthy, not just thin. And yes, it’s hard work. There is no way to keep fit without eating

        healthy and working out, I’m not going to lie.

 

Q3:  You look like you really take care of your skin. What do you do?

A:     I am a huge advocate of drinking water. The only other things I drink are coffee and red wine. I’m Italian, you know, I was raised on red wine, (laughing). Being

         raised in Florida, I was always at the beach. Now, when I do have time to lay by my pool or go to the beach, I use lots of sunblock on my face and wear

         a hat.

 

Q4:   Eating habits?

A:     My motto with everything I do is always “everything in moderation.” I eat pretty clean. I love chicken and fish. Vegetables and fruit. However, I do love my pizza and

         chocolate.

 

Q5:   What’s your future plans? Upcoming events?

A:     I don’t take anything for granted. I’ve worked very hard to get where I am. I think I have a very high work ethic. I have done some acting and I would like to maybe relocate to LA and pursue acting along with modeling. I do have a swimsuit video due out in June.

 

I don’t know about you, but I look forwarded to seeing Loriana in either a Victoria’s Secret spread or what about a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue? To see Loriana’s portfolio visit:
