Loren Borud Can Give Clients Tips on Avoiding Wrinkles

From Dr. Loren Borud



Not everyone, as Loren Borud knows, is able to afford specialized plastic surgery in order to remove the fine lines and wrinkles which are the hallmarks of age or stress. And even those who can afford procedures that can tighten the skin around their eyes usually make sure to keep their doctors and consultants at hand in order to get the best tips and ideas for minimizing wrinkles, delaying the need to go under the knife for as long as they can.

Wearing sunscreen everyday can reduce the sun’s damage on the skin. Human skin receives a severe beating from the sun causing damage that can speed up skin aging. An SPF of at least 15 can give adequate protection when the sun is at its most intense. Loren Borud’s years of cosmetic surgery experience has enabled him to advise his clients about getting a great pair of sunglasses that can block out ultraviolet rays.

Gravity, surprisingly, is another cause to look out for. Sleeping with one’s face on the pillow repetitively can cause sleep lines that turn into wrinkles after many years of habit. This goes for both men and women. Smoking is also highly discouraged. Studies have proven that individuals who have smoked longer get more wrinkles, as heavy smoking can cause excessive skin wrinkling.

Plastikonomics: What Dr. Loren Borud has Learned as a Harvard Plastic Surgeon

From Loren Borud

In today’s society where physical appearance is a big factor in almost all aspects of life, it is not surprising that cosmetic surgery has taken celebrity circles and high societies, as well as middle class consciousness by storm. Internationally renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Loren Borud writes about this medical and social phenomenon, its economic impact to the country and abroad, and its meaning to his life as a plastic surgeon, in his bold new book Plastikonomics: What I Learned as a Harvard Plastic Surgeon.

In Plastikonomics, Dr. Borud takes the readers behind the scenes of the economic factors that drive plastic surgeons to choose their profession. He lets readers take a first person view of the ins and outs, ups and downs of plastic surgeons’ lives, how they work, what makes them tick, and how their profession rapidly changes in response to evolving culture and government.

Drawing from his 20-year experience as a surgeon, of which eight were spent in Harvard Medical School, he discusses why many intelligent men and women in the country choose the field of surgery. He undertakes the gravity of this choice detailing the grueling training and education required by this career. Dr. Loren Borud then quantifies the fiscal impact of loan debt and opportunity cost to explain why such a choice may seem unjustifiable and discouraging in today’s climate of malpractice litigation and decreasing financial gain.
