Anti-Aging and Plastic Surgeons
There is a natural synergy between Plastic Surgery
specializations and Anti-Aging Medicine.
F Most frequently patients are interested in restoring the
vitality and halting those signs often associated with the
aging process.
Cosmetic Surgery has become extremely popular for making you
look younger when you are actually not so young. Anti-Aging
Medicine is the next logical step through a revolutionary
change made in medical care by extending our patients' life
span.
So far, we have concentrated on aging surgical treatments
through cosmetic surgery. All future developments will be
in medical/hormonal treatments.
Anti-Aging does not aim to extend life but to maximize its
quality.
It helps restore and retain the energy, vitality and physical
and intellectual capabilities which allow us to enjoy life.
The Anti-Aging Philosophy starts by teaching our patients
an adequate diet, a physical exercise program and a change
in their life style, which along with future medical/hormonal
balanced programs make up the basic fundamentals of Anti-Aging.
Plastic Surgery is in a unique position to participate in
and lead this new field of Anti-Aging medicine. We have been
the leaders of Anti-Aging Surgery, both facial and physical
and now it is time to make innovations in Anti-Aging Medicine.
The Growth Hormone secreted through life, decreases 14% after
the age of 20 and it keeps decreasing with each decade. Around
the age of 60 or 70 only 20% of its level remains.
As we mature and reach the age of 40 and 50, several significant
changes occur:
• Fat built-up increases
• Osteoporosis begins
• Arteriosclerosis becomes symptomatic
• The capability to fight infectious diseases declines
• Arthritis changes appear
• Maximum lung, heart and kidney capacity declines
• Hormones decline: thyroid glands, DHEA, estrogens,
progesterone, testosterone, melatonine and cortisol
The use of the growth hormone can change the human biological
aging process by reducing fat, thickening the skin, reducing
wrinkles, restoring hair loss, increasing the energy and sexual
function.
Plastic Surgery is an integral and essential part
of the Anti-Aging circle
