Renowned Washington DC Plastic Surgeon Speaks to Women for Fab Over 50 Event

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - Feb 19, 2013) - Dr. Mark Richards, a Washington DC plastic surgeon, has received national acclaim for helping women turn back the clock. At Ageless Impressions Plastic Surgery Institute, he offers women a wide range of procedures ranging from breast lift surgery to non-surgical skin treatments in order to assist them in achieving their cosmetic "natural looking" beauty goals. He has been asked to speak at the Fabulous at Any Age Beauty Bash, an event coordinated by Fab Over 50 and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Fab Over 50 is an organization for women over the age of 50 to share lifestyle tips and advice. The event, Fabulous at Any Age Beauty Bash, is being run by Fab Over 50 founder Geri Brin in conjunction with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Dr. Richards is one of a limited number of board-certified plastic surgeons presenting at the event that will take place at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on Saturday February 23rd.

Dr. Richards will present two 20-minute talks. The first presentation will address cheek lift surgery as the key to rejuvenating the face. A cheek lift, often referred to as a mid-facelift, is a relatively new procedure that addresses an area of the face that traditional facelifts often fail to restore effectively. The benefits of the procedure include:

• More oval-shaped cheeks and face
• Reduced appearance of lines from the nose to the edges of the mouth
• Restored fullness to the upper cheek under the eyes to eliminate the tired appearance of lower eyelids

The second presentation Dr. Richards will deliver addresses bio-identical hormone therapy for women. The benefits of bio-identical hormone therapy include:

• Alleviating the symptoms caused by decreased production of hormones
• Re-establishing the protective benefits provided by higher tissue levels of naturally occurring hormones for the heart, brain, bones, joints, etc.
• The reversal of many of the diseases and difficulties associated with aging

Dr. Richards hopes to educate the participants of Fabulous at Any Age Beauty Bash on two procedures that have had a relatively low public awareness. At Ageless Impressions Plastic Surgery Institute, he hopes to show his Washington DC plastic surgery patients that regardless of age, they have a community of professionals who want to help them continue to look and feel their best.
