Dr. Su's Revolutionary Arm Liposuction Gives Women the Desired Celebrity Arm Look - PRNewswire

Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:14 PM PDT

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --In the world of women's beauty today, there is no doubt that the arms are a major focus of attention. From social media to "best of" lists, the sexy look of  celebrities' slim, toned and contoured arms are highly sought after and seen as a "must have" accessory. However, getting this desired look can be a fruitless struggle for most women and impossible for cosmetic and plastic surgeons. But that's all changed with "Celebrity Arms Lipo" a revolutionary new procedure from ArtLipo Plastic Surgery that enables women to achieve the look of celebrity arms.

Pioneered by Dr. Thomas Su, the "Celebrity Arms Lipo" procedure is an awake liposuction with a twist. To achieve a slim and beautiful arm contour, Dr. Su's procedure has to remove up to 300 percent more fat than regular arm liposuction with a much higher degree of precision and accuracy. Instead of removing fat from the underarm area only, which is where all plastic surgeons are taught to stay, Dr. Su removes fat all the way around the arm in a 360 degree and over the shoulder method, which has always been impossible for surgeons to do, using traditional lipo methods. The additional areas of the arm that a large portion of the fat exists, makes the arms and upper torso look bulky and hides the desired muscle contours.

Given that traditional arm lipo doesn't address the right areas or remove fat completely in the way that is needed to achieve desired celebrity arms, it was necessary to come up with a new technique to overcome the difficulties of doing what appeared to be an impossible feat.

The invention and success of Dr. Su's new procedure can be attributed to a surprising and unique combination of medicine, artistic ability, and a boot camp-like workout that happens on the surgery table. While most lipo is done with a patient asleep under general anesthesia, Dr. Su uses the alternative of awake tumescent lipo, which has been time-tested and safer than general anesthesia. However, Dr. Su carries out his procedure with patients totally awake, not semi-sedated as most others do it, to allow his patients to do isometric contractions of their arm muscles in multiple positions throughout the procedure, a technique he pioneered and named "Interactive Lipo."

The boot camp-like workout gives Dr. Su the best feel of the muscle shape below the fat and the best control of fat while removing it. This advanced control and feel elevates the procedure from suctioning and slimming, to the realm of artistic "sculpting." There is a big difference between making the arms a little smaller, compared to intricately sculpting the arms to show the beautiful shape and contours of the muscles. Dr. Su will show patients their new "Celebrity Arms" in front of a mirror immediately after the procedure.

Dr. Thomas Su is an artist and master of liposuction who owns and operates ArtLipo Plastic Surgery. He has over 15 years of cosmetic surgery experience and has been exclusively practicing and specializing in awake liposuction for most of that time. With over 20,000 liposuction cases completed, he is one of the most experienced liposuction doctors in the world. He is also one of the most artistically advanced lipo surgeons, with a focus on ultra complete and high definition lipo for all body areas.

Dr. Su's artistic skills, from his degree in Fine Arts with a focus on the human figure, has set him apart as an innovator who has achieved what less than 1 in 1000 plastic surgeons have. Dr. Su has lectured on his Celebrity Arms procedure, Ultra-complete Abdomen lipo and his Interactive Lipo at multiple national conferences and has published the book Celebrity Arms in a Day.

ArtLipo Plastic Surgery specializes in the most advanced lipo procedures, most of which are not available or easily accessible in other parts of the US. The clinic boasts two full-time board-certified plastic surgeons who, besides performing advanced liposuction, provide a full range of other plastic surgery procedures. ArtLipo is uniquely poised to accommodate fly-in patients as a majority of its clientèle come from all over the US and countries around the world.

Here's why edited photos of celebrities on Instagram can be harmful - Insider - INSIDER

Posted: 28 Sep 2020 02:14 PM PDT

  • Numerous Instagram accounts are editing photos of actors, models, and musicians almost beyond the point of recognition.
  • While the anonymous editors haven't explained the purpose of their accounts, they seemingly aim to give celebrities certain idealized features, like pore-less skin and straight teeth.
  • Some celebrities seem to like the edits and occasionally re-post them, though other social-media users have criticized the pages for creating unrealistic beauty standards.
  • Experts argue that looking at heavily-edited photos, as well as "transformation" images, can be extremely harmful to viewers and lead them to body-shame themselves.
  • Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.

Stars like Rihanna and Julia Roberts are often considered some of the most beautiful women in the world. But online, pictures of these celebrities and other Hollywood stars are being edited almost beyond recognition. 

Across Instagram, you can find numerous accounts dedicated to altering photos of actors, models, and musicians. Many of the original images are taken at movie premieres, award shows, and other red-carpet events where celebrities already look their best. They're later edited by fans with contemporary, and oftentimes unattainable, beauty standards in mind, like pore-less skin and large lips.

Last week, Iva Dixit of The New York Times Magazine pointed out the accounts on Twitter.

"There's this trend among ~aesthetic~ IG accounts of taking old pictures of female movie stars and running them through the face alteration apps to give the (already very strikingly beautiful women) generic Instagram Faces (thick lips, ski slope nose, teeth white as toilet bowls)," she wrote.

She also described the photos as being "depressing in an uncanny valley way," referencing the disturbing and unreal look that plague many humanoid robots and computer-generated figures.

Miley Cyrus and Rihanna are among the stars whose photos have been heavily edited by Instagram users

At the time of writing, numerous accounts dedicated to editing celebrity photos exist on Instagram. Some of those pages, like @goddess.women, @dirtybabiez, and @luxybook, have between 53,000 and 179,000 followers. At the top of their Instagram pages, they often credit websites like Getty Images and Splash News for the original photos.

Pages like @goddess.women and @dirtybabiez also say in their Instagram bios that you can send them a private message to receive your own edited photo — so long as you also send payment.

While many of the anonymous editors don't explain the purpose of their accounts, some occasionally remind viewers that anyone who doesn't like their altered images of celebrities can leave their pages.

"I photoshop for fun. If you don't like it, leave 🙂," @luxybook, who has more than 63,000 followers on the platform, says in their bio.

The three accounts listed above have not responded to Insider's requests to be interviewed for this article.

Some celebrities seem to be fans of the Instagram pages. Many of their fans, however, are not

Photos from @goddess.women have previously been re-shared by stars like Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Sophia Richie on their Instagram stories. Other stars, like Pamela Anderson and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, have gone one step further and re-posted edited photos from the page on their accounts.

In a previous Instagram story, the anonymous account said that Huntington-Whiteley — who follows @goddess.women on Instagram — also once asked for a copy of an edited photo of herself to share on her page.

Representatives for Huntington-Whiteley did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

While some celebrities seem to be fans of such images, other Instagram users have taken issue with the edited photos.

Many of their comments can be seen underneath a heavily-edited image of Julia Roberts, where the actress is seen with perfect eyeliner, pore-less skin, thick eyebrows, and straight, white teeth — all of which look different in the original photo taken in 2002.

"Young Julia Roberts edited within an inch of her life**" one person wrote in response to the photos.

"What on Earth have you done to her face?!" another person said. "And we wonder why so many young woman have body-image problems and self-esteem issues. Please just stop."

"The concept of this page is so messed up," an Instagram user wrote. "These celebrities are already incredibly beautiful. This page can do a lot of harm to young girls who already think they're not attractive enough and now it turns out that these celebs apparently aren't either???"

Similar comments can be found underneath one of the Instagram account's edits of Meghan Markle.

"This is so over-edited that it barely looks like her," someone wrote. "Why do people do that? Hard to tell what's real any more.👎🏽"

I love this woman!

A post shared by GODDESS WOMEN (@goddess.women) on Sep 10, 2020 at 12:40am PDT

While it doesn't appear that celebrities have publicly expressed dislike for these Instagram pages, stars including Bella Thorne, Lili Reinhart, and Zendaya have all previously criticized magazines for editing photos of them.

Experts have previously warned that highly-edited photos can harm our perceptions of body image

Back in 2017, a postdoctoral researcher named Jasmine Fardouly explained to Insider how social media can negatively affect women. She had previously conducted a study "with female undergraduates to determine how often, if at all, they compare themselves to others while on social media," Emily DiNuzzo reported.

"In our study, comparisons to attractive others on social media were particularly harmful because they put women in a more negative mood, and made them feel worse about their appearance," Fardouly said. "The same effect may occur when looking at a comparison photo depending on how attractive the person looks in the before and after image."

While accounts like @goddess.women do not compare their edited photos to the originals, it's still clear to viewers that the celebrities' features have been changed — leading them to make their own comparisons. In the long run, this could lead viewers to body-shame themselves, develop disordered-eating habits, and turn to cosmetic surgery.

"Women can not only objectify other women, but can also internalize an observer's perspective of themselves — for example, self-objectification," she said. "If women self-objectify, it can be associated with negative outcomes, such as body shame and anxiety." 

Renowned photographer Rankin also studied photo-editing habits amongst young women in 2019. He found that all 15 girls included in his research altered their selfies, often "mimicking" the features of "their idols."

"I found it disturbing how big even the small changes are," Rankin told Insider. "It's so simple, almost like creating a cartoon character of yourself."

He added, "It's time to acknowledge the damaging effects that social media has on people's self-image."
