Permanently Beautiful

The Cleveland Clinic has pioneered the first face transplant in the U.S. You may have read about the radical procedure last month in which Dr. Maria Siemionow and a team of specialists replaced 80% of a woman’s face with that of a female cadaver in a complex operation that took 23 hours. It was only the fourth face transplant attempted in the world. While the thought of undergoing such drastic surgery may seem horrific, the procedure offers new hope for burn victims and others who have been horribly disfigured. Dr. Siemionow’s research and efforts were funded in part by a $42 million U.S. military grant designed to restore severely disfigured veterans. The military is collaborating with the Cleveland Clinic to treat service members injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.  

That the medical community has developed the capacity to perform a face transplant points out the extreme duress people experience when their face is disfigured or scarred by an accident, injury or surgical procedure. Our face is our window on the world. A pleasant face invites people to connect. Knowing we look good boosts our self confidence. Paramedical tattooing can camouflage scars and hide the imperfections that make us uncomfortable or embarrassed about our appearance.

People choose to undergo plastic surgery to look younger and feel more beautiful. And much of the time people get the look they’re hoping for. But as your doctor will warn you, scarring can and often does occur. Even the most expertly performed face-lift surgery can leave visible scars. Though usually small, these scars are right where you don’t want them, where everyone can see them. Men who seek a more youthful appearance with hair transplants often find the scars left at harvesting and transplant sites to be as unsightly as the baldness they seek to cover. Let’s face it, evidence of plastic surgery is embarrassing, not beautiful.

Permanent makeup uses paramedical cosmetic tattooing to camouflage plastic surgery scars. People see the youthful, new you; not the embarrassing scars left by surgery. Prominent plastic surgeons regularly recommend paramedical cosmetic tattoo expert Melany Whitney to their patients. Highly trained and Board certified, Melany is a nationally-recognized expert in the fields of permanent makeup and paramedical cosmetic tattooing. By expertly implanting pigments within the skin layers, Melany is able make scars seem to disappear and correct embarrassing imperfections. Permanent makeup provides a beautifying finishing touch to surgical procedures.

Melany’s years of experience as a practitioner and trainer of advanced micropigmentation techniques combined with her talented natural artistry allow her to achieve the successful results you desire. Many clients schedule permanent makeup sessions with Melany when they schedule their plastic surgery. As one of Melany’s recent clients said, “A face-lift made me look younger, but permanent makeup made me feel pretty again.”

“Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused,”  American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in another era. The sensibilities of the 1800s may have been different than those of today, but Emerson’s observation still rings true. While we seek to value people not merely for their physical beauty but for the beauty of the spirit that dwells within, our outward appearance still affects how we feel about ourselves and how others view us. Most of us do not aspire to the epic beauty of Helen of Troy, knowing that it is a gift granted to few; but we do take pleasure in presenting our most attractive face to the world.

There is deep pleasure in knowing that we look our best that fuels our self-confidence and nourishes our soul. The rise in self-esteem that comes with feeling physically beautiful gives us the power and energy to assert ourselves and claim our place in the world. How tragic then when an accident or disease strips all this away from us. We may regain our health, but that which leaves us physically scarred can destroy us emotionally. Our perceived loss of physical beauty, even if less noticed by others, decreases our sense of self-esteem, dampens our self-confidence and destroys the delicate inner balance that nourishes our spirit. We feel less than we are.

Permanent cosmetics restores our personal beauty and, with it, our spirit, self-confidence and courage to face the world. Paramedical cosmetic tattooing can camouflage scars from disease or injury. It can hide scars left by plastic surgery, car accidents or burns. Special techniques developed by nationally-recognized permanent makeup technician Melany Whitney can even create a natural-looking, three-dimensional areola and nipple for breast cancer patients undergoing breast reconstruction surgery. If you feel diminished by disease or injury, allow permanent cosmetics restore your sense of personal beauty.

The outward appearance of our face and body so often affects how we feel about ourselves. Surgery and injury can leave us scarred, not just physically, but emotionally. Nationally recognized permanent makeup expert Melany Whitney has perfected paramedical cosmetic tattooing techniques and pioneered new procedures in the field that permanently restore the unique personal beauty of disease and accident victims.

Melany Whitney’s exceptional expertise, impressive experience and talented artistry make her one of the nation’s top experts in the application of permanent paramedical cosmetic tattooing. Nationally prominent plastic surgeons, including physicians at the prestigious New York Presbyterian Hospital of Cornell University and the world-renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, regularly recommend Ms. Whitney to their patients. She has pioneered some of the industry’s most successful techniques in the field of scar camouflaging from burns and injury, cosmetic tattooing to help ease the suffering of Alopecia Areata and Trichotillomania victims, and paramedical tattooing to aid women recovering from breast surgery or mastectomy. Her empathy for breast cancer survivors led Melany to develop a unique 3-D nipple restoration and areola repigmentation that recreates the look of a woman’s natural breast for those undergoing breast reconstruction surgery.

One of the nation’s most accomplished and artistic practitioners in the techniques and art of permanent cosmetics application and paramedical tattooing, Ms. Whitney is a highly sought-after instructor in the field. On the teaching staff of the prestigious Florida College of Natural Health, Ms. Whitney developed its nationally recognized Permanent Makeup Training Course. Having taught sold-out courses for the past five years, Ms. Whitney now conducts individual and advanced training as her schedule permits.

You don’t have to be a metrosexual to understand the value of a sharp, attractive appearance in the business arena. Astute businessmen know that first impressions count. The way you look is an important component of the image you project in the business world. Permanent cosmetics for men give you an executive polish that boosts your image and confidence. With the help of permanent cosmetics, you look cool, collected and in charge no matter how long and stressful your day. That’s a business edge worth having.

The Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics offers special services tailored just to men. We understand the importance of maintaining a polished, vigorous appearance in the workplace. There’s a lot of truth to the old adage, “The face is the window to the soul.” The appearance you project in business defines you to associates and clients. Appearance has the power to create an aura of command and competence. Permanent cosmetics for men can enhance your appearance and augment your unique, personal style.

Many businessmen have found early male pattern baldness to be a disadvantage in the workplace. Our society values the vigor and enthusiasm of youth. The appearance of age can cause colleagues to unfairly stereotype you as outdated. Many men have embraced hair transplants as a way to combat early baldness and maintain an appearance as flexible and vigorous as their business ideals. Unsightly scarring, however, has been a major drawback. Paramedical cosmetic tattooing camouflages scars from hair transplant harvesting sites, giving you back the attractive, natural look of youth.

Eyebrow thickening provides vigor and forcefulness to facial planes, enhancing your unique, dynamic, personal style. Some men are born with naturally thin eyebrows, but Alopecia Areata Universalis, the second most common hair loss disease, can cause thick brows to thin unnaturally or even disappear. Because our eyebrows provide the frame that defines our face, they are an essential element in creating facial expressions. Thin eyebrows can make us seem ineffectual, unintelligent and constantly surprised; while strong eyebrows project a sense of command, authority and masculinity. How you look can affect the consideration and weight you and your ideas are given in the workplace.
