Building A Bridge: Cosmetic Surgery and Micropigmentation
There are many reasons women and men want to change or alter
their physical appearance. Aging, illness and accidents are a
few of the circumstantial reasons, but regardless of the
circumstances the most common motivation is the desire for
increased confidence and satisfaction with one's look. One way
to add vibrancy to your facial features and to regain some of
your color and appeal is to invest in micropigmentation or
permanent makeup procedures. Micropigmentation can increase
definition of the eyes, lips and eyebrows and this definition
lights up the face so you appear more present and more
attractive. Like plastic and cosmetic surgery, permanent makeup
has often been misunderstood and degraded. The media has
sensationalized occurrences of allergic reactions and poor
technique and rarely reported on the wonderful results a
majority of micropigmentation clients receive. Don't get me
wrong, there are risks and a trained, ethical practitioner will
inform you of all of the potential problems involved and will
take the time to assist you in making a decision that is in your
best interests.
The Importance of Understanding Cosmetic Surgery
As the American Academy of Micropigmentation (AAM) and the
Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP) have created
new standards and certification processes the industry of
micropigmentation has become more respected every year as a
profession and as an art. Plastic surgeons agree it takes talent
and experience to complete permanent makeup procedures that
work. Cosmetic surgery and micropigmentation are both costly and
time consuming to correct when procedures have been done poorly
or by an untrained hand. While researching the topic of
micropigmentation online you will find that the American Society
of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and even the University of Pennsylvania
Health System's Department of Plastic Surgery all recommend
micropigmentation or permanent makeup as an option. It is often
considered a complimentary procedure that has a number of
advantages. At www.surgery.org the ASAPS discusses how
micropigmentation can help recreate the areola around the nipple
or to restore the color of skin where natural pigmentation has
been lost. Permanent makeup can also help visually correct eye
and lip shape when they less than ideal. Dixie Medford,
President of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals,
and an experienced professional, states in her article Permanent
Makeup A Modern Look At An Ancient Art that "Women aren't going
to tattoo parlors to get permanent makeup.? Instead they are
visiting their local salon or medical office." "More and more
physicians, nurses and licensed estheticians," she continues,
"are adding Intradermal Pigmentation, otherwise referred to as
Permanent Cosmetics, to their menu of services." Dixie Medford,
also discusses the importance of permanent makeup practitioners
knowing their clients and understanding the implications of
plastic surgery procedures in her article Waking Up With Makeup
Could Be A Nightmare. She states the following, "The technician
needs to be aware of when and how to do eyebrows on plastic
surgery patients that are considering or having brow lift
surgery or Botox injections."? "It is important," Medford
continues, "to be aware of the impact of aging skin and the
changes that will occur in the brow shape." She goes on to say;
"Plastic surgery and aging are also factors to consider when
performing eyeliner....The permanent cosmetic technician must
take additional consideration when working on post surgical
clients."
Micropigmentation as an Alternative
Permanent makeup works well as a complimentary procedure for
patients seeking plastic surgery, however, it can also be
considered an alternative to particular procedures. The same
effects created by a surgical brow lift or collagen injections
into the lips can sometimes be achieved through
micropigmentation. There are many reasons a patient should not
choose to have plastic surgery. Often these reasons are
associated with physical or mental health problems. A good
cosmetic surgeon will be certain their potential patient is
physically able to handle a surgery and to heal well. They will
make sure the potential patient is in a healthy frame of mind
and has a positive perspective on the procedure since this too
can affect the healing process and outcome of the surgery. For
these patients micropigmentation may be a less intense and risky
procedure. Also, if a patient has experienced problems after a
facelift, micropigmentation can help to correct drooping eyelids
and other issues so the client can avoid additional expensive
corrective surgery. To learn more about micropigmentation and
