Why are the lips are so important for aesthetics?

Tuesday, February 28th, 2017

The Lips and their impact on Beauty:

Why are the lips so important for your looks? Why is it that they have such an impact after you enhance them with fillers like with Kylie Jenner?

The lips are the entrance to the mouth. The mouth is one of the first functioning units that we had as we started as a single cell. Basically, the first thing we did was eat things and engulf things as cells do. So the lips are a very primitive part of our body. Also the lips are associated with many of our emotions. The audio cortex and our sensation of hearing has a big impact on our emotional interpretation of the world. The lips are the way we communicate many of our emotions like yelling, talking, kissing etc. The lips represent some of our most basic elements about us. It is our animalistic side of our bodies and face. This is the reason why when we augment them there is such an impact on our sexuality and hence our looks and appearance.

In terms of Lips, Lip Fillers and how they fit into beauty. You can watch this video that will come out on Wed 3/1/17 and learn more about the aesthetics of the lips. When I was in LA I noticed that there are many people getting their lips enhanced and they were looking enhanced but not necessarily improved. So I wanted to figure out why that was. When I looked into our Aesthetics and understanding of beauty in the most current literature, I found that we really didn’t know concrete facts or numbers on what is beautiful or not. That’s what led me to figure out what beautiful was and a Basic theory on beauty. The lips were important for me in recognizing that we needed to do something. So I started looking around and studying beautiful people and I started to write a paper that set forth some basic mathematics above what beautiful is. Look at yourself or other people or other pictures of faces and you’ll see that most of the light shines on the lower lips. hence the lower lips need to dominate because the light shines on it. I have hypothesized that the lower lips are ideally one Iris width in height . The upper lips were half an iris width in height. In my third paper, I went on to further prove this. You’ll see in these two studies below that this was found to be true. Importantly, the chairman of the statistics dept from the University of California Riverside helped with the statistics in this paper. Click here for our paper on these studies: The Circles of Prominence, A New Theory on Beauty: Ideal Distances in the Eyes, Nose, Ears, and Lips.

twin sister’s marry twin brothers get plastic surgery so they can tell each other apart

twin sister's marry twin brothers get plastic surgery so they can tell each other apart

Recently I read this interesting fact. I personally have not encountered this reason for plastic surgery. But these two couples plastic surgery probably is serving a functional need for them. I come from a family with twins. My dad and his brother are identical twins, so this story was really interesting to me. They used to sing on Tv in China and were known as the chinese Everly Brothers in their locale. I have a picture of them on TV and will try to find it and share it with all of you.

Thanks for Reading

New Transgender Ad Discusses, Demonstrates the anxiety that the transgender population faces when going to the Bathroom

New Transgender Ad Discusses, Demonstrates the anxiety that the transgender population faces when going to the Bathroom

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/secret-pro-transgender-commercial_us_58122d5de4b0390e69ce9a4b

There have been numerous recent stories taking on this new topic. This ad comes at the heels of new anti-transgender bathroom bills that are popping up all over the country. For example the North Carolina Bill:

North Carolina’s General Assembly voted on Wednesday to block cities and counties from passing protections against LGBT discrimination in a wide-ranging bill that could have enormous implications for the state.

This bill that passed a special session would set a statewide anti-discrimination policy, banning employers and businesses from discriminating against employees or customers based on their race, color, country of origin, religion, age or “biological sex.” The problem is that the bill offers no protections for the LGBTQ community and prevents local governments from passing any nondiscrimination policy that goes beyond the statewide standard. Meaning it, paradoxically, can promote or make legal discrimination against the LGBTQ community. This would leave areas governing wages, benefits, employee protections, and leave specifics unsafe for possible discrimination for the LGBTQ population.  This would also prevent people with gender identity disorder from using the bathroom of the sex that they identify with. Many people feel that this is the same as what used to be discrimination against minorites just a few decades ago.

Thanks for reading

Atrophic Forehead Scar from Acne by Seattle’s Dr. Philip Young

Sunday, September 11th, 2016

Seattle’s Dr. Philip Young talks about Atrophic Acne Scars in the Forehead and there treatment and the specifics that should be consider with scar revision treatment:

For your atrophic acne forehead scar it basically looks like it is similar to a boxcar scar. Box car acne scars are depressed but no as narrow as a needle which would be more appropriately called an ice pick scar. What you need for your Forehead Atrophic Scar is at least some lasering and maybe even some volumizing with some type of filler or tissue. Because it’s a solitary lesion the other option is considering to excise it . But the challenge with that is that it’s an excisional approach and you will have a new scar although better. Breaking up that linear scar would be a good idea and I would consider doing some sort of pattern to hide the scar. But there are other risks with cutting them out as well. You can have imperfect results depending on how you heal. You can have dog ears which are elevations on the sides of the scars. Also when you excise a scar, the new scar has to be at least 2 times the scars most longitudinal length. If you want avoid cutting them out then I would do a multiple-step approach to improve for your scar and treat multiple layers at one time. We have a unique approach called the Acne Scar Vitalizer Approach. Through this approach we will use 5-7 steps to treat all the layers and this will include resurfacing using newer approaches in utilizing the lasers power. We also combine more methods to treat the deeper layers which shock your scars to get the best results we have ever seen!

Today is the First Day of the rest of My Life

Saturday, October 17th, 2015

Aside from Facial Plastic Surgery, if there is anyone reading this. I think this quote or thought really helps me at times “Today is the First Day of the rest of My Life”. Now is the time to make changes in your life. It is said that you need to change something in the way that you are doing things 28 times before it starts to set in. Simply put, it is hard to change.  I use this to help me think of positive changes that I want in my life and to live life to the fullest!

Some of the books that I’ve been reading lately has helped in this.  Happiness by Mathieu Ricard; Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey; The Alchemist by by Paulo Coelho; Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman; Emotiona lntelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry, Jean Greaves; Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus by John Gray; The Seven Spiritual Law of Success by Deepak Chopra; How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie have been some of the major influences lately.

I would love to have you read them and contact me to let me know what you think at dryoung(at)drphilipyoung.com

Talk to you soon
