Fifty, Flirty, and Thriving: Why Women Over 50 Are More Open to Plastic Surgery

A lot of women feel anxious about aging. Some refuse to talk about or even mention their age, or some women have completely stopped counting after they hit their 30s. Societal pressure especially on women has made the topic of aging a taboo. Hence, some women hide or are ashamed to share the various interventions that they do to avoid “looking like their age”. 

But, no matter how much we want to run away from it, unless you’re a vampire, there’s really no way for us to stop aging. Throughout time, aging will affect the way we look. After all, we cannot escape the effects of gravity. It starts with a slight wrinkle on the face, crow’s feet on the corner of your eye, sagging neck skin, and the list goes on. Fortunately, more women are embracing their age and are becoming more open to surgical interventions to improve their overall look. 

Financial Freedom

Older women are more lenient with their finances. At this age, some of them are also already accomplished in their respective career and are probably earning a good amount of money. That’s why some women are more lenient towards their finances and are more open to spending money to improve their physical appearance.

Long Term Solutions

Serums and anti-aging creams can only go so far when it comes to improving your look. At some point, you might want to consider a more long-term and permanent solution. 

We had the pleasure of interviewing one of our favorite patients, Ms Yolly Dela Cruz who has been a long-time patient of Doc Jun, and she shared with us her motivations behind undergoing plastic surgery. She is not one to hide the surgeries she has done and as a matter of fact, she is proud to flaunt her beautiful body. Yolly is not new to undergoing plastic surgery. She and Doc Jun go way back as he was the one who did her Breast Augmentation surgery a few years back. As a Zi patient, she underwent Liposuction last 2020 to remove and lessen the fat from her abdominal area, and her latest surgery, Blepharoplasty, was done last July 2021. She had opted to undergo Blepharoplasty surgery because of her drooping eyelids. According to a blog article from Toronto Facial Plastic, some of the most popular plastic surgeries done to women over 50s are those that aim to fix sagging skin like Neck Lift, Eye Lift, Face Lift, and Forehead Lift. 

Yolly is a big believer in investing in yourself to boost your confidence and self-esteem. According to her, if you can afford it, why not be more open to enhancing your features if it means that you can live more confidently and more truthfully. Yolly is already 56 years old, and while she definitely has #BodyGoals that even a 30 something could be envious of,  what keeps her forever youthful is her inspiring wisdom and her unwavering confidence. 

“ I always believe that key to your happiness is really progress and growth to enhance yourself and develop into something. Feeling good about myself and looking at my best is my greatest priority. To be able to achieve this I have decided to undergo breast augmentation. Blepharoplasty and Liposuction.”

“Knowing Dr. Jun Caparas, I feel so blessed to have found a surgeon as caring, talented, and professional as him. I thank you for being the best of the best Doc Jun. You have made me feel so much better about my appearance… So thankful for giving me my self-esteem back. I’m truly happy and content with the outcome of my breast implants.”

This isn’t about making women feel more anxious about aging. We do not want women to feel like aging is something that they should be scared of, rather it’s something that you should embrace. After all, age is just a number. What matters most is the experience and knowledge that you gain from your experiences throughout the years. And how you share this knowledge and experience with others.

If you’re ready to take the next step, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. You may book your appointment by calling us at +63 917 879 9667 or send us a message on Facebook.

Plastic Surgery in the Time of COVID 19

Every business has adapted to the changes brought about by COVID 19. For non-essential areas of the health sector like plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology, the impact has also been profound and one that may last for quite a long time. But what is evident to be effective in resuscitating business back to life is the promise that health and safety will be prioritized above anything else. With that,

The start of Teleconsultations

Every doctor has probably cancelled 2 or more consultations or surgeries since the start of the quarantine locally. This has not only caused delays in some of the processes needed to be done to a patient but, has also caused a gap financially speaking. Luckily, we have technology on our side to bridge this gap. Even if the physical clinic is closed and face-to-face consultations are not allowed, clinics have migrated to Teleconsultations. This allows patients to consult with their doctors remotely. It is a big adjustment as doctors heavily really on seeing their patients physically in order to properly do a diagnosis but nevertheless, it is still possible.

A Clinic Visit is Different Now

Any establishment will now require visitors to undergo safety protocol steps which involves a lot of sanitation and wearing protective equipment. It may be a lot of process to go through just for a consultation, but if it means keeping everyone’s health safe and secure. What is an additional 5 minutes before going inside the clinic right?

Here in Zi Institute, we follow a 6-step safety protocol:

1. Step on the sanitation mat

2. Sanitize your hands with the alcohol dispenser

3. Wear footwear protection

4. Temperature check before entering the clinic. If your temperature is above 38 degrees, you will not be allowed to go inside the clinic.

5. Fill up a patient health checklist before consultation

Is it safe to have surgery done during this time?

To keep it short, the answer is a definite YES! As long as we are following these safety protocols and more, we can assure you that the clinic remains virus-free and is safe to do any type of treatment or surgery. As they say, life goes on. We might just need to do extra steps to ensure our safety during this time, but there’s absolutely no need pause our whole lives. We must continue to adapt to the ever changing times and remember that this too, shall pass.

Tips for Fast Recovery After a Tummy Tuck

It is deeply desired by most women to have a proportional and tight tummy. This is partly due to the year-round beach season in the Philippines, and in line with that, the aspiration to flaunt a seemingly perfect body.

Diet and weight management all depend on your discipline. But if you’re looking for an easy way to looking sexy you can always go for a tummy tuck. Just keep in mind that you may need some time to recover from the procedure.

Here are the few tips you need to take note to help your recovery after a tummy tuck surgery.

Proper Diet

While the result is undeniably effective and obvious, tummy tuck needs proper diet to be maintained. The obvious removal of visceral fats does not guarantee that you won’t grow them anymore without watching your diet. You must heed a strict and proper diet before, and most especially after the surgery.

However, there shouldn’t be any significant weight loss before the surgery. A normal diet is highly advised with medications to be put on-hold till recovery. This is stated by Dr. Jun Caparas, a certified plastic surgeon of Zi Institute.

Avoiding Infections

It is a known fact that all surgeries incur some sort of manageable risk. But the occurrence can be minimized by asking the patient to bathe chlorhexidine solution to decrease the bacteria and their propagation to reduce the chance of getting an infection after the surgery.

Avoidance of having Constipation

It is an SOP not to force yourself especially any part of your abdomen to move or contract to avoid extreme pain and complications. We at Zi Institute prescribed our patients with a stool softener to lessen or even prevent constipation.

Follow required resting period

Like any other surgery, suggested resting period should be followed so as not to compromise the healing and recovery process. Some are able to come back to work in a week, but it is advisable to rest for two weeks.

Restrictions and Mobility

In line with the prescribed period for rest and recovery, there are also advices on the restrictions in what the patients shouldn’t be doing during that period. These include exercises and strenuous activities that can make you feel uncomfortable or in pain.

The Benefits Of Skin Whitening Treatments

Filipinas have always wanted the idea of a lighter skin. It has grown on them that a fair complexion signifies beauty and this mentality can be attributed to the 300 years of Spanish colonization in the Philippines, a time when the standards of beauty have been greatly skewed on fair skin.

At present, this mentality remains. Filipinas still want a lighter skin than what they normally have, and with the tons of development in the field of science and beautification, getting a fairer skin is not an impossible task.

If you think that skin whitening is just an aesthetical operation, you’re wrong. One can actually reap a lot of benefits from its science.

Here are the advantages of skin whitening:

Cure for skin conditions

If you are suffering from severe skin conditions such as melasma, hyper pigmentation or uneven skin tone or acne scars, then skin whitening has its wonders for you. Topical skin whitening treatments and whitening products are very helpful in making these conditions less visible. In other times, these products went so far as to completely diminish the skin conditions.

Anti-aging treatment

Aside from the whitening capabilities of these products, most whitening treatments also make you look younger than your age and also more vibrant. It also goes without saying that using these products reduce the visibility of blemishes and age spots.

Psychological effects

Having skin conditions is not just a physical burden. It can also affect the person going through it psychologically, in terms of confidence and self-esteem. The use of skin whitening products and similar treatments can be proven helpful in getting rid of a low self-esteem and poor confidence, as long as the products are effective. Most people who have been using whitening products gets an instant ego boost and self-confidence gain.

A fair skin has become a standard of beauty but it’s not just that. Opting to go for a fairer skin has its fair share of benefits, both physically and emotionally. If you ever find yourself wanting to go for a lighter complexion, go for it. And you just might make the best decision of your life.

Let ZI redefine the way you look at yourself.  Browse through our line of skin whitening treatments that will definitely promise to deliver the best results for the better, fairer, and younger you.

What’s Great About Fractional Microneedling Rf

Scars should have no space on your skin! It’s time to break away from the unwanted marks on your skin and have the flawless version of you this 2017.

The dermatological industry continues to improve its technology on treating skin diseases that cause a lack of confidence for most people. Now, with the use of Fractional Microneedling RF, deep acne scars and burn and operation scars can now be removed.

Fractional Microneedling RF is the process of penetrating insulated microneedles into the dermis or the outer part of the skin to release high-tensioned radiofrequency pulses. This will induce the production of more elastin and collagen fibres that will make the skin firmer and healthier.

The said microneedles are directly put into the skin only at a certain depth and releases just enough radiofrequency energy to soothe the affected tissues. This process will produce a uniformed deep tissue warming to trigger the production of collagen to create more collagen fibres.

The combination of microneedles and radiofrequency will lead to improvements of skin quality and texture. After a few treatments, noticeable changes may be seen such as less wrinkles, more tightened and rejuvenated skin and reduced pore size.

Furthermore, what’s great about fractional microneedling is that it is minimally invasive yet very effective, and has shorter procedure time and downtime. In addition, it can also brighten the skin and remove stretch marks.

Zi Institute of Plastic Surgery and Dermaesthetics offers Fractional Mirconeedling RF for a very affordable price!

So if you are looking for the best dermatological experts in the city, book for a consultation now and visit our clinic at Corporate 101 Building, Rm. 208, Mother Ignacia Street, Corner Sct. Madriñan Street, Barangay South Triangle, Quezon City. We’ll see you there!

Things you Must Know about Breast Augmentation

Many people think that having a breast augmentation is for aesthetic purpose only, a means of having to brag about or be proud at – but it’s wrong. There are more reasons why some women undergo such operation, one of them is about boosting their self-confidence.

Moreover, coping with weight loss after pregnancy and improving one’s small breast are just some of the major factors why women tend to undergo such surgery.

Dr. Jun Caparas of Zi Institute, who has been in the field of plastic and cosmetic surgery for nearly two decades now, shared some more important information that everyone should know about breast augmentation.

One of the things that many people are confused about is the difference between breast augmentation and breast reconstruction. Dr. Caparas differentiate the two for they have varying purpose and aim according to what the patient needs.

Breast reconstruction is being done after mastectomy or removal of breast (mostly for breast cancer patients). It is designed to improve the appearance of the area where the breast tissues were removed. In contrary to the notion that it cannot be done right after the mastectomy, Dr. Caparas confirmed that a breast reconstruction can be done immediately after the affected breast tissue removal operation.

On the other hand, the breast augmentation is used to enhance the size of the breast volume by inserting breast implants. Silicone gel-filled breast implant is the most commonly used implant but an adjacent tissue can also be utilized. For post-radiation patients, or those who have been exposed to too much radiation, it is advisable to have an adjacent tissue as an implant instead of the artificial ones because the extrusions are higher.

According to Dr. Caparas, an ideal patient that can undergo breast augmentation should be those who are more than 17 years of age (post-puberty) that are medically and psychologically stable.

He also noted some of the things that should be done after undergoing such operation. Of course, the suture has to be removed five to seven days after surgery. Also, a breast massage should be done after two weeks. And if you’re thinking about how long it can last inside your body, Dr. Caparas said that “The manufacturer’s recommendation is to have the breast reconstructed after 10 years. But the implant can stay inside the body permanently.”

Furthermore, a patient should also be advised about the risks or the side effects after having the operation. Unsightly scar, contracture formation or breast hardening and lesser sensation in the nipple areolar complex are some of the major and common after effects. Of course, it is normal for a medical procedure to have some after effects. After all, it really takes a lot of courage to completely satisfy your ideal look.

So, why stop yourself from achieving a more beautiful and confident you if a very trusted and reliable clinic is available to help you out? Entrust your beauty to a very reliable and trusted plastic surgery and dermaesthetic clinic in the country. Visit Dr. Caparas now and see what Zi Institute has to offer. Stay beautiful, ladies!

Your Summer Beauty Nitty-Gritties

Summer is here! And for sure, your vacation plans are piling up and you have so many things to do. From booking your flights, planning your itineraries, and packing your things, it’s a lot to handle. But, there is one more important matter that you should always keep in mind this summer – your beauty care.

You must keep in mind that the summer heat can really affect your beauty especially when you are directly exposed to the sunlight during your beach trips. Hence, bringing with you some important beauty products to at least lessen the effect of the damaging UV rays is of high importance.

To help you out, we have here the beauty care must-haves to maintain your stunning and glowing look this summer:

  1. Sunscreen – There are specific sunscreen products for your body parts. The first one is the facial sunscreen that is vital on protecting your face from the pollution. This is also good for hydrating and protecting your face from the sun’s UV rays. Body sunscreen is the best product to ensure that your body is hydrated and protected from the sunlight and the heat. Its cooling effect will soothe your body as it contains chemical properties that will surely keep the moisture in your body. On the other hand, bringing a lip balm with SPF is also important for you as it can protect you from having chapped lips because of the heat. To top it up, carrying a hair mist with you can give your hair a protective barrier that keeps the UV rays from damaging your hair roots.
  1. Skin Care – You must not forget that part of your skin’s protection from heat and pollution includes skin care. Facial wipes are very good on removing dirt from your face while soothing it with its cooling effect. And upon washing your face, don’t forget that you will need facial scrub to keep those dirt away from clinging to your face. Your day care moisturizer, face mist, and facial oil can further protect your face from redness and the bad effects of extreme exposure to sunlight.
  1. Body Care – Lastly, always remember the basics. Fill your toiletry pack with body wash and body soap for a more thorough cleaning. These products don’t just keep your body moisturized and clean but also healthy. Moreover, don’t forget that your mouthwash must come handy every time you go out to keep your fresh breath.
