The Ideal Male Chest: Tone Up With The 5 Best Chest Workouts For Men

The ideal male chest. What does it look like? Though trends have changed over the centuries, the current “ideal” male chest is generally depicted as having a soft swelling of tissue around the pectoral muscles. For some men, the right exercises coupled with a nutritious diet will help them develop a chest that looks and feels exactly as they desire. 5 Best Chest Workouts For The Ideal Male Chest Adding these exercises to your workout routine can help you develop a more pleasing chest. Pushups One of the easiest and quickest ways to work on your chest muscles is by doing pushups. Not only do pushups have a low threshold when it comes to muscle tone and skill level, but they also require no equipment to get started. All you need is flat surface and a willingness to try. While classic pushups will help out, for toning your pectoral muscles, we recommend wide-grip pushups. From plank position, place your arms slightly wider than your shoulders. Bend your elbows and lower slowly until your chest brushes the floor. Pressing downward with your hands, push your body back up into a plank position. Don’t worry if this feels difficult at first. Do […]

How to Get Fuller Lips: Temporary Vs. Permanent Lip Procedure Solutions

Discussing different types of temporary and permanent lip procedure solutions for fuller lips Many people desire to have full lips. According to research, having fuller lips indicates a higher mating potential. Thin lips are also associated with aging due to the production of less hyaluronic acid and collagen, which causes a reduction in lip volume. There are many ways to get fuller lips, including celebrity-endorsed procedures and cosmetic products that only create an illusion for a short while. However, for a more effective, longer-lasting solution to thin lips, professional cosmetic surgeons such as Dr. James Apesos perform temporary and permanent lip procedures that improve the size and volume of your lips. What is a Temporary Lip Procedure? This lip enhancement option involves injecting a temporary hydraulic acid lip filler into the mucosa or vermilion of the lips. There are several types of temporary lip fillers such as Hylaform, Restylane, Captique, and Juvederm that offer a reversible solution to thin lips. Non-surgical lip augmentation only lasts for six months to one year tops, depending on the amount of filler injected and your metabolic rate. Its effect is temporary because your body metabolizes hyaluronic acid since it is synthetic, just like the one that […]

7 Ways to Get Rid of Unwanted Belly Fat

Belly fat is an all-too-common issue. Whether you’ve just entered your forties, have recently had a baby, or have simply packed on a few pounds, excess fat in this area is guaranteed to diminish both your comfort and your confidence. If you’re nervous when donning your swimming suit, your birthday suit, or a form-fitting pant suit, taking a proactive approach to banishing belly fat is a must. Fortunately, there are seven easy ways to target these troublesome fat stores. 1. Know What Type of Belly Fat You’re Dealing With There are two types of belly fat. The most common of these is pinchable, subcutaneous fat, or fat that lies just below your skin. You can easily grab and measure this fat with your fingers. More importantly, you can probably burn it off fairly quickly with targeted exercise, calorie cutting, and several other lifestyle changes mentioned below. There’s also visceral fat. This is fat that develops around the internal organs. It is far worse for your health than subcutaneous fat, and quite a bit more challenging to get off. You can often best eliminate visceral fat with intermittent fasting or with the adoption of a long-term, high-protein, low-carb diet plan. 2. […]

Microdermabrasion Treatments: 9 Things to Know

If you’ve often wondered if your skin could benefit from microdermabrasion treatments, you are not alone. Microdermabrasion, which involves polishing away dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, is one of the most requested non-invasive skin procedures administered by skin care specialists today, and for good reason. Individuals who suffer from acne or chicken pox scars, blackheads, dry/flaking skin, sun spots, large pores, excessive oiliness, hyperpigmentation, and/or stretch marks can improve the appearance of their skin through a series of microdermabrasion treatments. The procedure itself which involves “vacuuming” dead skin cells away, also increases blood flow to the treated area. In turn, this helps to deliver oxygen and other healing nutrients to the skin’s surface. Thus, a healthy glow from polished, healed skin replaces damaged and/or scarred skin cells. Sound interesting? Here are some things you should know about microdermabrasion. 1. There is little to no downtime after the procedure. Most patients only experience a small amount of redness and/or skin sensitivity at the treated area for 1 ― 2 days after the procedure. When properly administered, there should be no unsightly appearance of the skin, nor should there be any notable discomfort. 2. The procedure can be combined with […]

Biceps Curls Using a set of light hand weights anywhere from 3-5lbs., stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding the weights in your hands at your sides, palms facing up. Slowly, bend your elbows to bring the weights up toward your shoulders. Then lower them back to their original position. Repeat this procedure 10 times before taking a 1-minute rest; then do two more sets of 10.

How to Go About Assessing a Cosmetic Surgeon

Assessing a cosmetic surgeon doesn’t have to be hard. Here are some tips to help you decide on the best. The best Cosmetic Surgeons all share a singular trait. While well versed and accredited in the medical arts, their first approach to their craft is that of an artist who is well versed in the aesthetic qualities of the human anatomy. Patients seek cosmetic surgery for a number of reasons. It could be to correct the results of an injury, to remove an unsightly birthmark, or to enhance the patient’s looks. The nature of the cosmetic surgery goes beyond other surgical procedures. An appendectomy, for example, does not withstand the subjective scrutiny of a rhinoplasty. Therefore, the practitioner’s acumen in the anatomical arts need to be addressed. Of course, medical accreditations, experience, and good standing among the medical community is vital to your doctor’s selection process. Yet, unlike other medical procedures, his or her sense of anatomical aesthetics is sacrosanct. That’s why a talented cosmetic surgeon is one of the few practitioners among the medical arts who maintain a portfolio of the work he/she has performed. Assessing a Cosmetic Surgeon It is this additional layer of artistic expertise that separates […]

Top 7 Things to Look for When Choosing a Cosmetic Surgeon

In 2019 alone, there were almost 1.5 million surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in the U.S. Cosmetic surgery can help to enhance your appearance, effectively improving your self-confidence and increasing the personal and professional opportunities available to you. To ensure satisfactory results and enjoy these benefits, you should choose the right cosmetic surgeon to do the job. But what exactly should you look for in a cosmetic surgeon? Read on to learn more.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE A cosmetic surgeon with extensive professional experience will be better placed to help you develop realistic expectations, identify solutions and overcome complex challenges. Experienced professionals have operated on numerous patients and refined their skills. As much as the surgeon may be able to perform a variety of surgical procedures, you should confirm if they have proven experience in the specific procedures you want. This will […]

5 Simple Makeup Tricks to Instantly Make You Look Younger

With the right makeup and a few insider tips and tricks, turning back the hands of time can be as effortless as popping open your makeup bag. It’s the perfect way to highlight your new facelift from Dr. Apesos, or to simply brighten your complexion for an evening out on the town. 5 Ways to Look Younger With Easy Makeup Tricks 1.

Start your glow-up by laying down a base layer of makeup primer. Primer quickly and effortlessly smooths over your pores and wrinkles so that your makeup looks flawless. For the best results, look for a primer that contains anti-aging ingredients such as: Vitamin C to brighten your complexion Vitamin E to rejuvenate your skin Camellia Oleifera extract (green tea) and other anti-inflammatories to tone down redness and puffiness Grapeseed oil and other natural oils to hydrate and naturally firm up your skin tone High-end makeup brands, such as the GloMinerals line offered by Dr. Apesos, […]

Your Skin’s Guide To Exfoliation

Any number of things can settle in your pores and start making itself at home. Even if you don’t use makeup daily, dust, dirt, and dead skin cells can wreak havoc on your complexion without a plan of action. Exfoliation is the process of gently and thoroughly removing the stuff on your face that doesn’t belong, letting your fresh new skin cells shine through. Types of Exfoliation Before we get into the basic “do’s and don’ts” of the scrubbing process, we need to give you a run-down on the basic types of exfoliation: Physical and Chemical. Here’s what you need to know to keep the healthy, youthful glow in your skin! Physical Exfoliation This category includes any process that involved physical, active removal and scrubbing of the skin. Here are just a few examples of physical exfoliation: Store-bought scrubs DIY scrubs Mitts Dry brushes Loofahs Pumice stones Microneedling Micro Derma Rolls Don’t worry, we’ll recommend some of our favorites later on! Chemical Exfoliation This process, unlike physical exfoliation, requires no scrubs or rubbing of the skin. Instead, precise chemical mixtures are used to remove the unwanted layer of grime from the skin. These are the most common chemicals used: Glycolic […]

We’ve created this detailed list to make sure you’re getting the most from your injections, and to help you know how to schedule your follow-up appointments! Is It Dangerous? There’s a lot of anti-cosmetic injection rhetoric out there, which can hinder finding the information you’re looking for. Are regular, long-term injections dangerous? Can they permanently change my skin? These are completely understandable concerns, but with all the false information floating around on the internet, we want to be sure to give you factual, clear answers that will hopefully also give you some peace of mind. Are regular injections dangerous? If you are getting your injections through non-regulated sources, there are serious dangers to be aware of, and without professional use, this can result in serious health consequences. However, if you are working with professionals, and using FDA approved fillers, there are no dangers in getting regular injections. Can injections permanently change my skin? Temporary fillers (like the ones mentioned below) are made to dissolve over time, and reflect the natural chemistry of your […]

4 Ways To Use Makeup To Make Your Face Look Younger

There are so many ways to feel confident in your skin: a healthy, self-care routine, makeup, plastic surgery… Finding the combination that’s right for you can be tricky. Here are four ways to use makeup to keep your face looking vibrant and youthful. 1) Skin The skin is key. The wrong foundation can leave all the other steps looking a little odd, so be sure to start with a smooth base. We recommend using cream foundations, rather than powder which can emphasize and settle into wrinkles. Primers are also a great way to keep your skin feeling fresh and dewy. The goal is to even out the color, and gently cover wrinkles/scars or other blemishes. When applying makeup, be sure to use gentle hands, to avoid agitating the skin and creating more wrinkles. Here are a few products we love (be sure to choose the right shade for you!): Illuminating Primer: Before foundation, apply this primer evenly with clean fingers or a gentle brush to create a smooth, radiant surface to apply the foundation on. Satin Finish Foundation: Choose this foundation if you’re looking for a bit more shine/gloss to your look. Mineral Liquid Foundation: After choosing the correct shade, […]

How To Treat Baggy, Puffy, or Dark Eyes

Aging affects your body in a variety of ways you may not always enjoy. If you’re wondering what to do about changes to the skin on your face, such as baggy, puffy, or dark eyes, we’re here to help. Dr. Apesos offers a wide variety of therapies, surgeries, and other procedures that can help you combat the effects of aging, especially when combined with lifestyle changes. We have been passionate about helping patients achieve tighter, younger-looking skin for over 30 years; we can help you choose from a variety of treatment options to minimize baggy, puffy, or dark eyes in a way that best meet your needs. Causes of Baggy, Puffy, or Dark Eyes Aging is the main risk factor for changes in the appearance of the skin around your eyes. Like the rest of your body, the skin on your face goes through a variety of physical changes over time. As you age, the muscles and other tissues near your eyes, and on the rest of your face, weaken. These weaker muscles can cause the skin that surrounds your eyes to droop or appear baggy. They also make it easier for fat and other fluids to move around. This […]

Is Permanent Makeup Right for You?

If you spend hours perfecting your makeup every day, you’ve probably asked yourself questions; is there’s a better way to get that great look without the time commitment? Permanent makeup might be the answer you’re looking for. Read on to learn more about the different kinds of permanent makeup and if the procedure is right for you. What Is Permanent Makeup? Getting a permanent makeup procedure is very similar to getting a tattoo. Instead of choosing a design to put on your body, though, a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or makeup tattoo artist applies ink where you’d normally put your makeup. A fine needle injects ink into the skin, leaving behind permanent cosmetics that enhances your features just as cosmetic products would. In medical terms, this procedure is known as micropigmentation. The most common types of permanent makeup include: Eyeliner Lip liner and lip color Eyebrows Before deciding to get permanent makeup, be sure to find a technician with all the necessary licenses and certifications. Schedule an appointment to talk to the technician about the procedure and share important information like your medical history. Let them know if you have any allergies or have had an adverse reaction to a tattoo […]

How To Care for Your Skin After Your Facial Procedure

After your facial procedure, it is time to focus on healing. However, your doctor may advise you to stay away from skin products and skip portions of your facial routine. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give attention to your skin. While some facial routines can be overly harsh for skin that needs to heal, there are ways you can care for your skin so that it heals as quickly as possible and smoothly. What to Avoid After Facial Cosmetic Surgery Everyone has their perfect skin care routine, but while it may be suitable for healthy skin, you may want to put it on pause after cosmetic surgery. Even facial procedures that don’t leave wounds that need healing, like microdermabrasion, will leave skin needing a little rest. After your procedure, your doctor will give you tips to help your skin. However, if you are ever unsure if a portion of your normal routine should be temporarily stopped, be sure to ask your doctor. Common skin care practices that should be avoided for a few weeks after a cosmetic facial procedure include: Abrasive facial scrubs Heavy facial masks Stringent cleansers or those with heavy fragrance Scrubbing pads Alcohol-based cleansers While there is […]

Three Ways to Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage

Sunlight is beneficial to your overall health and well-being. However, the cumulative effects of sun exposure take a significant toll on the health and appearance of your skin. Over time, the damaging effects of UV radiation contribute to wrinkles, sagging, and skin discoloration; symptoms once believed an unavoidable result of the aging process. Protecting skin from sun damage reduces visible signs of aging up to 90% while reducing your risk of skin cancer. To preserve the health and appearance of your skin, consider the value of the following suggestions. Wear Sunscreen Daily Many people mistakenly believe they only need sunscreen during prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to avoid summer sunburns. This is an unfortunate misconception. Protecting skin from sunburn is important; UV radiation is a proven carcinogen present during all daylight hours regardless of seasonal temperatures. As UV rays penetrate the skin, they trigger a chain of reactive events. Some reactions are visible within hours, others may not be apparent for decades. The first visible sign of UV damage: increased melanin production, a tan. That summer tan is evidence that skin is fighting to protect itself from further damage, including damage to collagen fibers. As collagen damage triggers the production […]

Freeze Away Fat Cells and Get the Look You Want with CoolSculpting

Cryolipolysis, commonly called CoolSculping, is a fat reduction technique which freezes fat cells. This technology is FDA-approved and is safe and effective. Maybe you consider yourself to be a health-conscious person. You try to eat a balanced diet, get adequate exercise, and make good lifestyle choices. But even though you have healthy habits, you don’t feel you look your best. No matter how much physical activity you do or how conscious you are about the foods you eat, certain areas of your body just don’t seem to change. By your teen years and into adulthood, people generally have a set amount of fat cells. As you gain weight, the fat cells expand, and as you lose weight, they shrink. So even though eating healthy and exercising can cause you to trim down, there are certain areas of the body where it may be hard to lose weight no matter how diligent you are. Gender, genetics, or age can play a role in the struggle to lose weight. Additionally, women may be more prone to store fat in the thighs and buttocks. In contrast, men may develop an issue with added pounds in their midsection. Whether you’re a man or a […]

Are Facial Implants Right For You?

If you are unhappy with your appearance, you may be thinking about plastic surgery. There are many different options available, depending on your wants and needs. You may be considering implants. There are many different facial implants you may want to consider so you can be proud of your appearance. Here are some of the most common types of facial implants that we do. Cheek Implants If you want to have more prominent cheekbones, you may be interested in getting facial implants in your cheeks. This procedure can take flat cheekbones and enhance them to give you the look that you have always wanted. Cheek implants are often placed in your cheek through an incision in your mouth. However, they can be done in conjunction with other procedures so your doctor may go in another way. If you’re having eyelid surgery, you may be able to have both procedures done through one incision (below your eyelid). Many patients prefer to have cheek implants done with a facelift. Your doctor will be able to insert your implants through the same incision that was used for your facelift. Cheek implants are quick procedures, taking about an hour. Your doctor may be able […]
