    Cosmetic Surgery Appeal – From One Coast Of The Atlantic To Another
    2008-07-21 23:26:00
    Critics might be concerned about the portrayal of beauty in UK reality shows, but if there is one thing they are convinced about, it is the European concept of beauty. Something that they don't take very lightly.The good thing about such a mindset is that many Europeans and the British in particular are heading to the States in an effort to preserve their beauty and save a few bucks while they are at it. The Wall Street Journal noticed this change and reported on it earlier this month.The savings they say, amount to nearly 25 percent and are literally a fraction of what patients pay in Europe on plastic surgery. The American dollar is to blame for this trend, as it has fallen 25 percent against the Euro and eleven percent against the British pound. Quite a sizable difference and one that the Europeans are enjoying to their hearts', or should we say, to their body's content!Fortuitously, for the cosmetic surgery profession in the U.S., the benefits are many.Not only are ther

    Making Cosmetic Surgery Interactive: Step By Step
    2008-07-01 01:22:00
    You have to grant it to these innovative cosmetic surgeons. A fashion show with cosmetic surgery patients modeling their successful surgeries is right there in the conversation-starter list. A plastic surgeon held a 'coming out' party for patients whose faces and bodies were altered by him in New York earlier in the month. The combination of top-line designers and cosmetic surgery is enough to glamorize the minds of most women and apparently that's exactly what this surgeon had in mind. According to him the show would be able to 'lure new patients that he may not have had otherwise.' The effort to de-glamorize plastic surgery might be commendable but how ethical is it to project such a view? At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we think it's a great idea arrange for ice breaker events like these cosmetic surgery fashion shows and workshops, but rather than using it as a marketing ploy, it would be better to treat it as a serious step.

    Economy Rants: Downsizing On Cosmetic Surgery
    2008-07-01 01:09:00
    Couple of things going on in our very own US of A brings newer facets of the plastic surgery profession to light.   For instance, there is the fight to hang on to cosmetic surgery by a faithful few. Reuters reported ASDS studied trends that noticed the American economy instead of discouraging people from spending on cosmetic surgery (still a luxury for the masses), is doing just the opposite.   Individuals are downsizing their needs and going in for injectable filler treatments that are less costly then a traditional face lift. Similarly, people are opting for an injection lipolysis instead of a liposuction procedure, a filler treatment for reducing wrinkles instead of an eyelid surgery, and so on.   Dr. Rigel of the ASDS sums it up very succinctly saying, "It's kind of like going from a Cadillac to a Buick."   But how much is this downsizing really helping the smart American?

    To Live Longer Play Golf. To Look Younger Have Cosmetic Surgery
    2008-07-01 01:07:00
    Tiger Woods is gonna be one lucky guy when enters his old age. According to a Swedish study, researchers discovered that golf is very intimately connected to longevity. Who would have thought that this posh (and boring) sport would be the key to live longer!   According to Professor Anders Ahlbom and Bahman Farahmand who helmed the study, "A round of golf means being outside for four or five hours, walking at a fast pace for six to seven kilometres, something which is known to be good for the health."   But what do you do with a long life if you have to enjoy it with a face that looks past its prime?   The way I see it, you have two options- either follow granny's nutrition plan from a very young age or maintain your looks with a little help from plastic surgery! Considering that golf is largely a white collar pastime, regular cosmetic enhancement won't be much of a problem.   But as unbelievable as it may sound for those in the lower income bracket, cosm

    Cosmetic Surgery To Remove Female Breasts
    2008-06-17 08:20:00
    Surely that can’t be as shocking as it sounds; after all there are breast cancer patients who have had a mastectomy to remove an affected breast. Or so I thought. But Toyah Wilcox doesn’t have breast cancer and there is nothing wrong with her breasts. All she wants to do is remove her breasts because she “can’t bear them”. According to the 50-year-old, she is all but ready for the plastic surgery procedure but is facing strict opposition from her husband. Toyah, a singer and actress, is a self-declared attention grabber and is aware that she will make headlines if she goes ahead with this unusual breast reduction surgery. Given her lifestyle habits this is not much of a surprise as she has been known to take a diet supplement that boosts collagen growth in the body. The punk rocker has had her share of physical deformities though and in my opinion should be allowed to have a little fun with her body. Toyah was born with a clubbed foot, a twisted spine and some other

    Carmen’s Got (Cosmetic Surgery) Assets To-Die-For
    2008-06-16 06:29:00
    I came across a nice little snippet about Carmen Electra the other day and it got me wondering why I haven’t covered her up out here, considering her sizeable assets. Carmen has a history of cosmetic surgery (subdued) and certified hotness behind her. Just take a look at her portfolio and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Carmen was: discovered by Prince when she was in her teens, did a Playboy spread when she was in her mid-twenties, replaced the oh-so-hot Jenny McCarthy, bagged a role in the sizzling Baywatch Hawaii, has a comic book character by her name, was spokesperson for Budweiser, had a nine-day marriage to basketball jock Dennis Rodman, was a Pussycat Doll, had a reality TV-style marriage to Jane’s Addiction front man Dave Navarro and is founder of the Naked Women’s Wrestling League. Whew, this woman sure has been there and done a lot! Millions of men out there will agree that the breast augmentation Carmen had early in her career just added to her sex appea

    Cosmetic Surgery Happenings In Ireland
    2008-06-16 06:22:00
    The Emerald Country’s name has been popping up a lot lately and from the look of things Ireland could suffer a serious setback in its leap to the list of countries to visit for cosmetic surgery. The cosmetic surgery story making headlines in Ireland and the rest of world is about a 48-year-old woman who is believed to have died as a result of faulty hospital equipment. Bernadette Reid-Kavanagh died after coming out from her gastric band surgery in February this year. If it weren’t for the machine that was supposed to monitor her blood pressure, pulse and oxygen backfiring, Bernadette it is alleged would have still been alive. Doctors, on the other hand claim that she was over the limit of accepted weight and suffered from chronic asthma, reasons which are considered as deterrents to cosmetic surgery. The pathologist chronicled Bernadette’s death as the result of a cardiac condition that deprived the heart of blood supply. Obesity was stated as a contributory cause. Th

    Cosmetic Surgery & Virgins
    2008-06-12 00:28:00
    Somehow I keep reverting to that most ambiguous and mysterious places on the planet- the Middle East. While the tumultuous newsflashes are as much to blame for my constant visits, it is also the plastic surgery trends in this region that draw me. There is a wave of change going about in the Arab countries no doubt, but certain aspects look like they are still soaking and dripping with hardcore tradition. I’m talking about the Islamic conception of virginity which is insisted on being followed by unmarried women. A woman who is believed to have a ruptured hymen is not ‘respectable’ and has no status in Islamic society. Driven by this need for hymen-preservation, women studying and living abroad and no longer ‘virgins’ have a cosmetic surgery procedure in the vaginal area called hymenoplasty. This plastic surgery procedure is of a reconstructive nature and rebuilds the hymen, the membrane known to rupture when a woman undergoes intense physical disturbance or in thi

    Forty-four-year-old Face Lift Televised To Lift Cosmetic Surgery
    2008-06-05 08:20:00
    The Great Dane is out on a mission and there’s no stopping her. For a woman who has been tagged to and in some cases married ‘heavyweights’, Brigitte Nielson has always got what she wanted. This time it is the plastic surgery message she wants to get across to the masses and German television network RTL is going to make her wish come true. With her towering height of 6 foot1, a big boned frame and Slavic looks to match, Brigitte stormed the movie screens with her penchant for dominatrix-style roles. She makes for a contrasting figure with her curvy body and nearly androgynous looks. A face lift surgery for her age (44) is common behavior though as many men and women opt for one in their mid-forties. For many women this age is quite a turning point as the biological clock gains momentum and starts ticking louder. In 2007 alone, the ASPS noticed 37,400 face lift procedures performed by men and women between the age span of 40 and 54. This was the age-group that exhibit

    Pete Wentz – Does He Need A Cosmetic Reduction Genioplasty?
    2008-05-30 08:14:00
    Oh yippee yay, he’s a confirmed daddy now. Seriously, whenever will they stop hiding pregnancies! Pete Wentz and Ashley Simpson have done practically everything in the book to monetize their romance. The only thing missing is a sex tape, and I really wouldn’t put it past them to remove one to fund the baby’s schooling. Every time I see Wentz (help!) his chin attracts my eyes like a magnet. It really is one of the most prominent under-bites I’ve seen on anyone, except for his wife Ashley maybe. Usually a chin like that would have someone thinking about a cosmetic chin reduction. This chin enhancement surgery chips away the chin bone and removes the protruding edge, subsequently repositioning it. Another technique cosmetic surgeons apply involves reshaping the bone using a burr. This lends a nice contour to the chin area and is a great way to polish off the chin enhancement procedure. The incisions are made on the inside of the mouth and if repositioning is involve

    Britney Spears’ Bump – In Need Of Cosmetic Surgery Or Pilates?
    2008-05-29 07:49:00
    Uh-oh. Guess who’s got a bump peeking out? Our very own Britney Spears has been once again spotted with a bump that looks worse than her old pot-belly. The wires are hot with speculations of a pregnancy on the way for the 26-year-old former pop star. Let’s not jump into conclusions though as it could be her tummy tuck or liposuction-ed stomach going its own way. Besides Britney also seems to have stopped her exercising which could also be a reason why her body’s moving back to square (or should we say rotund) one. When she first made her cameo in the sitcom How I Met Your Mother, everyone waited with bated breath to see what shenanigans Britney would get into next. But she surprised everyone when she actually began showing signs of a change. Now we wonder if it’s really a makeover she is pursuing. Britney has been known to make snap cosmetic surgery decisions for liposuction procedures and dismissing them as quickly. We think it would do her good though as exerci

    Cosmetic Body Rejuvenation And The City
    2008-05-29 07:41:00
    Aah! Sex and the City has finally released in NYC- the city it was conceptualized for and fans are showing no signs of ebbing their enthusiasm or excitement. I for one am totally stoked with all the designer wear and shining, happy faces and skin on display. There’s nothing like a well-put together woman looking her glowing best wrapped in a dazzler of a dress. It doesn’t matter if it’s the skinny Sarah Jessica Parker, the slender Cynthia Nixon, the voluptuous vixen-like Kim Cattrall or the demure and very proportionate Kristin Davis- the ladies know how to look good anyhow anyway. It’s another matter the little nip and tucks the SATC girls might have had over the years by lieu of come cosmetic surgery. But none of them have admitted to any major plastic surgery so all we can do is guess away. Age has left its mark on the women though and the four-some look far from the fresh-faced chicks that whirled into our lives in ’98. When the series began, the woman were th

    Pearly Sheen For Your Face – Cosmetic Surgery Help
    2008-05-27 23:51:00
    Lasers have established an indomitable presence in the cosmetic surgery business and have helped plastic surgeons set right everything from hair removal to eyelid surgery and fat reduction. Cutera’s Pearl Laser is a step forward in cosmetic laser treatments for the face and is a marvelous plastic surgery option for those looking for a less painful facial beauty treatment. The laser is supposed to penetrate deep into the skin of the face surgery candidate and stimulate collagen growth.

    Cosmetic Face Implant Surgery Fiasco For Australia’s Next Top Model
    2008-05-27 23:48:00
    While the current America’s Next Top Model Whitney Thompson is making waves with her stance on full-figured women, a participant on the Australian leg of the show is creating a hubbub with her cosmetic surgery forays. Alex Girdwood, 20 and a contestant fighting for the crown on Australia’s Next Top Model had collagen injectables pumped into her lips to make them plumper. When the judges and the panel of experts found out about Alex’s plastic surgery attempts needless to say, they were left shocked. Says Priscilla Leighton-Clarke, the modeling agent responsible for granting the winner the one-year contract, “My line on cosmetic surgery when it comes to young, beautiful girls is leave it well alone”. She goes on to add, “I would never encourage any of my models to have plastic surgery and none of them do - except for one who is in her 30s”. A lip augmentation treatment is often offered as an element of face lift surgery procedures and results in lips that are plump

    Cosmetic Surgery In Britain – The Latest
    2008-05-27 23:27:00
    The BBC reported last Thursday a new trend noticed in plastic surgery practices in Britain- a migration to foreign climes for surgery procedures. The article went on to state that plastic surgery patients look towards Poland largely, for plastic surgery procedures that are offered at half-rate prices and are equivalent to British cosmetic surgery quality-wise. If you remember, there were similar trends noticed in America as well where plastic surgery in Los Angeles was favored for cosmetic surgery procedures in South American locales like Brazil, Costa Rica and Argentina. While plastic surgery in foreign countries may be offered at a lower rate, it would be prudent to remember the level of professionalism offered in countries like the U.S. and the U.K. and then make a decision. On the weight loss surgery front, the U.K. has also noticed a spurt in procedures like liposuction and abdominoplasty among British schoolchildren.

    Celebrate Your Curves – With Cosmetic Surgery
    2008-05-27 23:25:00
    Has the time of the curvy femme fatale come? The judges at America’s Next Top Model sure think so. In a first of sorts, Whitney Thompson- a U.S. size 10, actually got past the tough competition and became the first woman to do so in the show’s history. But I’m not surprised and in fact am rather pleased with such a spectacular assertion of womanly curves. Tyra Banks, the host and one of the judges on the show, is known for her weight issues as her weight regularly fluctuates. Also traditionally, the show features at least one model considered to be plus-sized. It’s a good thing for all the curvy or let’s say- full-figured women out there as 20-year-old Whitney hopes to reach out to the multitudes of youngsters with eating disorders and weight issues. She says, “I've already heard online from boys and girls all over the world who are dealing with eating disorders. They're thanking me for standing up and saying, 'I am a plus-size model and I am beautiful.” St

    Plastic Surgery Consumer Alert – Cool Cosmetic Surgery Quiz:
    2008-05-20 03:23:00
    When two renowned cosmetic surgery boards unite to generate consumer awareness, the result is a fab site called Beauty for Life. A joint effort of the ASPS and the ASAPS, this portal aims to get the consumer know better about any cosmetic surgery decision he has to make. The site prickled my curiosity and I popped over for a dekko. What I seen left me suitably impressed. I had to create an account first and enter in details like age, height, weight, skin tone and gender. My lifestyle was then analyzed which included smoking habits, diets, exercise, sun exposure, etc. In the next step, just like how a good plastic surgery consultant would have done, they tried to isolate my motivation for a surgery and the part/parts of the body I wanted to improve. The comfort level indicator was a nice touch too and checked whether I would be alright with a surgery or would rather prefer a minimally invasive procedure. The part/parts of the body that need work were then further analyzed to crea

    Embarrassing Bodies Boosts Cosmetic Surgery Popularity:
    2008-05-12 01:06:00
    Channel 4’s medical-themed reality series Embarrassing Bodies is a novel show by reality TV standards. The crew/cast of the series prance all over Britain looking out for people too shy or uncomfortable to tell their doctor about an illness or medical condition that’s bothering them. Apparently the show has managed to make way for a dramatic surge in the demand for cosmetic surgery services in the United Kingdom. And why not, most of the men and women who appear on the show in search of a cure have odd protrusions and physical deformities that can be corrected through reconstructive plastic surgery. Everything and everyone from the male scrotum to a woman with psoriasis is examined in detail. Treatments are either meted out by the doctors or the patients are referred to an authority able to deal with the problem. A reality show reflecting on an off-screen function like plastic surgery’s popularity is not a new phenomenon however. Everybody remembers how shows like Extrem

    Cosmetic Chin Surgery For A Black Eyed Pea:
    2008-05-09 00:14:00
    Fergie vehemently keeps denying that she has had plastic surgery of any kind. But you and I and a lot of plastic surgeons know better. One look at her face and it is obvious that she has had a nice package of work done on her to give her that sizzling hot look. A rhinoplasty, brow lift surgery, face lifts and Botox have all been hinted at and have been repeatedly refuted by the sexiest BEP. The rumors of Fergie having cosmetic surgery hit her so bad that US Weekly received a good amount of flak from the singer for publishing pics of her in the 80’s besides her latest photos. Speaking about her latest pics, the ones clicked at the Costume Institute Gala showed a very heavily made up Fergie. A closer look had me wondering about that chin of hers. It looks decidedly plumper than usual. Maybe she went ahead and had that cosmetic surgery she mentioned some months back. I wouldn’t rule out her having had a cosmetic chin surgery in the interim.

Cher is famous for her totally groovy costumes and almost as famous for getting a lot of cosmetic surgery work done during her career.

Small wonder than that the woman felt the need to take some help from the plastic surgeon’s scalpel to keep the cheques coming in. And a good decision it has been too.

    Are Acne Care Cosmetic Skin Care Products Effective?
    2008-05-04 09:12:00
    There are a lot of skin care product manufacturers around the world that make specialized skin care products. These products are used for the treatment of acne or the treatment of ordinary skin breakouts or irregularities. There are also manufacturers that are subdivisions of huge cosmetics companies, and they often have a wide array of other products that do not necessarily have anything to do with taking care of acne. Are the acne care cosmetic skin care products made by cosmetics companies as effective as those that acne focused companies sell? The acne care cosmetic skin care products made by cosmetics companies are essentially products that underwent extensive research and testing, just like the products that their counterparts have come up with. The difference may be that the acne care products by cosmetics companies carry a more popular brand that people can easily associate with quality, that is, if the company in question is indeed a well known and quality conscious brand.

Our parents told us to take good care of our teeth, brush them three times a day and floss to ensure good hygiene and to maintain a healthy smile for many years to come. Doing so everyday, and learning the importance of proper dental care, we practice proper cleaning until they become part of our daily habits and routines.

    Jamie Lee Curtis Going Topless At 50 – Help From Cosmetic Surgery?:
    2008-04-30 05:03:00
    Jamie Lee Curtis is one actress who has got quite a kitty-full of nicknames to mark her advancement in Hollywood. She started out with ‘Scream Queen’, moved on to ‘The Body’ and finally ended up with ‘Freeze Frame’. As you must have guessed, the latter two names are on deference to her fantastic figure that got its share of wolf whistles. It would be hard to believe that this actress once had a cosmetic surgery procedure like liposuction and even dabbled in Botox. The procedures did not turn out to be what she expected and she pretty much shocked fans when she admitted that she turned to painkillers to drown the disappointment. Then JLC announced that she would be quitting acting altogether because she wasn’t ‘ageing well’. So it comes as something of an irony when I came across a cover she did for the AARP saying that she did it to urge people to ‘age wisely and well’. Hmm… quite a contradiction this woman is, I must say. But then for an actress who

    Plastic surgery, due to the emphasis placed on the need for aesthetic sensibilities of in a cosmetic surgeon, is practically an art form. Regardless of its image though, it is treated by the medical profession worldwide as a serious branch of medicine.Even in a generally corrective procedure like breast reduction, a plastic surgeon is known to place tremendous attention to the contours of the breast to lend it a look and feel that recalls a regular bust line. Patients have benefited a lot from such procedures as they can experience a very satisfactory breast enhancement surgery result. Top plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California recommend patients to exercise caution while choosing the plastic surgeon and the place for surgery.There are a lot of local cosmetic surgeons available, who are ever-ready to do a surgery for bargain basement prices but more often than not, they are poorly skilled, have no gradation, no proper equipment and will never be able to compen

    2008-04-20 23:14:38
    You might look at plastic surgery as the ultimate in vanity, but it is not always so. I’ve often said I’d just as soon avoid surgery that wasn’t medically necessary. But sometimes it’s hard to define what “necessary” really means. The “Father of Plastic Surgery”, Sir Harold Gillies developed techniques of transplanting and shaping skin in order to help seriously wounded soldiers. Plastic surgery helped some of them to show their faces in public, which is not medically necessary, but has a lot to do with the quality of life. How about breast implants? A lot of women have them not to have bigger boobs, but to have boobs at all after mastectomies. I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same thing. Actor212 recently had a cancer removed that left a hole in his nose. He had it repaired by surgery which transplanted tissue from his leg and ear. And my daughter has braces to repair a severe underbite. They might work, or she may need s

    Financing Cosmetic Surgery: Invest in Your Looks.
    2008-04-19 06:05:00
    Do you dream about having plastic surgery treatment? Everyone has at least one area of their body with which they are not quite satisfied. People do not like the way their nose is shaped, or the strawberry birthmark behind their ears, or they see too many crow's feet at the corners of their eyes. What part of your body is least satisfying to you? Many people decide that the visible signs of aging are painful reminders that their lives are passing, and decide to opt for facelifts or chin lifts. They hope that, for a few more years at least, they can avoid looking older.Others struggle with painful reminders of being teased in childhood because of visible birthmarks or moles or other blemishes. Have you heard of a procedure that would enhance your beauty or remove a painful scar? Have you put off learning more because the cost seems far out of your reach? Don't wait any longer!

    Plastic Surgery Vs. Cosmetic Surgery:
    2008-04-16 08:25:00
    Often considered synonymous with each other, both these terms are but different aspects of the main branch of medicine known as plastic surgery. Plastic surgery, technically speaking, is held to involve corrective or reconstructive surgery procedures that repair or correct deformities or abnormalities. For instance, surgeries for correcting protruding ears- Otoplasty, removing nasal deformities- rhinoplasty and also procedures for correcting abdominal deformities caused due to surgery- Abdominal Lipectomy. However, these very same procedures can also be used to enhance the features in question by a cosmetic surgery. A rhinoplasty can shape the nose and enhance a profile; an otoplasty can give a slender shape to the ears, while an abdominal lipectomy can also give a patient a narrow waist and a gently curved tummy. As you can see, there are no definite lines that distinguish between these two terms. Hence, a plastic surgeon is also called a cosmetic surgeon. Once they are done with

    Transgender cosmetic surgery
    2008-04-07 03:40:00
    A lot of hoo-haa has been made recently about Thailand’s attitude towards the third sex and her constantly changing views on it. This Asian country is viewed as something of a leader in the cosmetic sex-change industry with castrations being offered for as less as $125. Breast enhancements using implants, a technique called penile inversion, Adam’s apple shaving and a host of other procedures are offered for men who want to look like their female counterparts. These unusual but not unheard of cosmetic surgery procedures find a lot of takers in Thailand with the country even playing host to what was Asia’s largest Gay and Lesbian event some years back. Transgender cosmetic surgery, while a heavily disputed by religious groups and medical experts is undoubtedly performed in the West.

    Day Care Cosmetic Surgery:
    2008-04-01 08:55:00
    Plastic surgery for the masses is the motto of this £750,000 center for plastic surgery in Lancashire, England. The state of the art center is said to be inspired by the day case surgery or outpatient surgery system popular in the United States. From the 60 percent surgeries preformed currently in the U.S., medical experts predict the figure to increase by 15 percent in the next decade. The convenience and low cost of health care involved in outpatient plastic surgery procedures is cited as two of the main motivators for this form of surgery. For an outpatient cosmetic surgery procedure the patient does not have to be admitted into the surgical institute for an overnight stay. Some ambulatory cosmetic surgery procedures for adults include otoplasty or ear surgery, eyelid surgery, laser treatments, face lift surgery and a mini-tummy tuck. Patients who find it difficult to afford a cosmetic surgery procedure usually request plastic surgeons for an outpatient surgery. While the act

    Corrective Vs. Cosmetic Breast Surgery:

Arizona State senators face a similar problem with a move to give women who chose to install ‘non-original equipment’ in their bodies a tax break. On implants inserted for cosmetic purposes a 5.6 percent sales tax is imposed.The line that distinguishes cosmetic breast augmentation from reconstructive breast surgery is a fine one. Breast surgeries for corrective reasons include breast implant surgery performed for those who have lost a breast or both breasts due to cancerous outgrowths in the breast region.A reconstructive surgery for correcting misaligned breasts might even be argued to be a cosmetic procedure as the outcome is to improve the appearance of the breasts.One argument claims it unfair to tax surgery of any kind since it is a medical service that is requested and paid for. As medical practitioners perform plastic surgery procedures like breast augmentation, it is argued t

    Is Eighteen Too Soon For Cosmetic Surgery?:

    Ashlee Simpson, Ashley Tisdale and maybe the Jonas Brothers member Joe Jonas have all had plastic surgery, either for reconstructive purposes or for plain ol’ cosmetic joy. The serious issue of teen plastic surgeries has been highlighted lately with the story about the high school teenager who died of anesthesia complications while she was having a reconstructive breast augmentation. The question is for how long can regulating authorities hold back these young minds from reading about celebrity plastic surgery junkies like Pamela Anderson, Victoria Beckham, Christina Aguilera and Paris Hilton on a daily basis? And parents who actually gift their teenager kids rhinoplasty and gynecomastia correction procedures are another kettle of fish altogether.Whether it is a new tech gadget or a cosmetics line, the youth are the most bombarded sections of society and sadly the most impressionable as well.

But for a woman with a heart as large as hers, Natasha would need a lot more words to describe her and they still wouldn’t do her spirit justice! The actress and comedienne is a victim of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a disease which inhibits the signals from the brain to the muscles. Being bound to a wheelchair has not kept this lovely lady from having breast implants and the occasional Botox shot though.Oh yes, you heard that right, but before you pass her off as just another fluffy actress, I have to mention that Natasha Woods’ breast augmentation was carried out for reconstructive purposes. The Botox was just something she wanted.Natasha’s breasts were asymmetrical and she found much relief when a very prominent breast implant manufacturer stepped in and helped her out.

    Cuba and California undoubtedly have a lot in common- sunny locales, lovely beaches, a history steeped in patriotism and of course, a haven for film stars. Lately, cosmetic surgery too has been added to the growing list of similarities between and things to do in these two regions. Due to the difference in exchange rates and economy, medical help in countries like Cuba, Thailand, India and South Africa cost less than what they do in the U.S. The important point to remember is that while California has long been associated with the cosmetic surgery profession, these countries have just recently made in-roads into the field. There is a reason why people the world over call California the Mecca of plastic surgery and this is because this particular branch of medicine has most of its research centers in this state. The climate of the state is pleasant and very conducive to recovery, not to mention the high standards of quality that are followed in the United States. The Plastic Surge

    Why Cosmetic Surgery Will Never Go Bust:
    2008-03-07 00:06:00
    Plastic surgery has emerged glistening with victory from the gloomy haze surrounding the U.S. economy. This is perhaps the strongest indicator of the hold that this branch of medicine has over the American mind. A close look at the statistics show a dramatic rise in the number of plastic surgery procedures that took place between 2000 and 2006- 48 percent! In 2006 alone, eleven million cosmetic procedures were performed by doctors in America.With around 80 percent of these procedures being minimally invasive, there is no doubt about the impact that the major elective surgical procedures have on the populace as well. Breast augmentation using implants, nose jobs, liposuction, eyelid surgery and tummy tuck are the more popular ones from the lot.Women undoubtedly are the upholders of the cosmetic surgery business, thanks to the level of financial independence that they maintain.

    Emerging Cosmetic Surgery Trends:

    A glaring trend that is being noticed lately is the number of cosmetic surgery procedures and beauty treatments that are custom-made for men. Indeed, the interest that the male of the species is taking in personal grooming has burgeoned in the last few years. It was inevitable and the trend seems likely to stop being a trend before long and treated as a permanent fixture in the annals of beauty. According to Jason Pozner, a plastic surgeon in Florida, “Doctors, health centers and spas have made it more convenient for men to get cosmetic procedures, with later hours and more masculine settings.” Gone are the days when a hurried trip to the local barber took care of all the shaving, trimming, buffing, clipping and grooming that a man would possibly want. Whether it is the boardroom or the bedroom, the new man wants to deliver much more of an impact. So out come an entire army of masseuses, nail specialists, hairstylists, personal stylists, cosmetologists and dermatologists-

    Cosmetic Surgery Is a Leading Economic Indicator
    2007-12-10 14:49:00
    A front page article in Saturday’s Wall Street Journal, Evidence Grows That Consumers are Pulling Back, discussed the slowdown in spending on cosmetic surgery as a harbinger of a recession.  (I’d like to link to the article but The Wall Street Journal doesn’t allow it. Hopefully, Mr. Murdoch will change this now that he owns the paper.)  It seems as if spending on such surgery had previously been recession-proof. Perhaps it fell under the heading of consumer necessities. Now cosmetic surgeons are feeling the economic pain. The article specifically mentions a drop off in corrective eye surgery and breast implants. There used to be a hemline indicator for the stock market. For every decade starting with 1900, the stock market rose and fell following the length of women’s skirts. It would be politically incorrect for me to suggest an implant indicator, so I won’t.    Are we heading for a recession, and a 15% decline in the stock market from its present levels? Plastic surgeons might say yes. Last week, though, the stock market said no. The popular indexes were up close to 2%. The past two weeks rally has moved the S&P and the NASDAQ close to their 2007 highs. The Dow has lagged somewhat, positioned approximately halfway between its 2007 high and low.  The market responded positively to an anticipated Fed rate cut. We’ll find out on December 11th what the Fed intends to do, but a ¼ point cut seems baked into the market and some expect a ½ cut. After that’s out of the way, the market will again be left to ponder the likelihood of a recession. On the plus side, the Q3 productivity number was excellent and Friday’s report of 94,000 new jobs created, although slightly below the magic 100,000 number, was encouraging.    The not so good news for the week was delinquent mortgage payments hitting thei

    Cosmetic Surgery - Are You Covered By Health Insurance?
    2007-11-21 03:19:00
    Cosmetic surgery, in its true sense, is an elective procedure that is performed to reshape or enhance body parts a patient may find unflattering. Since cosmetic surgery has an intrinsic aesthetic intent, it is usually not covered by health insurance. The argument put forth by insurance firms is that a person can very well do without cosmetic surgery, and the procedure is used for mere beautification instead of being a life saving surgery. On the other hand, reconstructive surgery is generally covered by health insurance, though the extent of coverage may vary a lot from one case to another.In many ways, the answer to the insurance question lies in discerning whether the plastic surgery procedure is cosmetic or reconstructive. For instance, abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck), when performed on an obese patient to guard the patient against heart problems, is eligible for health insurance. Breast reduction surgery, when carried out with the intent of reducing weight of the breasts to curtail orthopedic pain, is typically covered by health insurance. On the other hand, breast implants or augmentations are performed with the aesthetic aspect in mind and, therefore, don’t normally qualify for an insurance.There is a fine line dividing the two categories of plastic surgery, namely cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, as far as eligibility for insurance is concerned. For instance, eyelid surgery, when performed to attain an aesthetic enhancement is considered cosmetic and ineligible for insurance. The same procedure may be covered by insurance if the eyelids are drooping to the extent of obscuring a patient’s vision. The hard fact remains that most of the plastic surgery procedures are performed with an aesthetical intent, in order to enhance alluring portions of the body.To summarise, plastic surgery that is performed to improve function instead of aesthetics is normally eligible for an insurance cover. However, it’s best to discuss your case with an insurance agent, in

He provided valid food for thought when he questioned the logic in Whitney Houston opting for Madonna’s nose. Would she still be as striking he asks.According to data collated by the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, over 20 percent of cosmetic surgery patients were black, Asian or Hispanic in 1990.

I don't know, but I think I will start paying more attention to natural ingredients and organic cosmetics..

    An intense sense of aesthetics and proportion is what sets plastic surgeons apart from the rest of the practitioners of the medical profession. To mold, shape, and sculpt is what this branch of medicine intrinsically deals with. From being applied by the ancient Indians for purposes of skin grafting to being applied notoriously by the famous Michael Jackson for lightening his skin, cosmetic surgery sure has come a long way.The demand for solutions to cosmetic problems have in no mean way been accelerated by the emphasis on beauty and presentation, the media interest in the lives of the newsmakers, and popular culture which have ultimately led to a more style sensitive populace. And it is just not limited to women, who seem to form a majority group of those turning to the knife. With major brands like Estee Lauder, Biotherm and Clinique coming up with excellent skin care ranges for men, men too have leapt on the beauty bandwagon and are serious users of cosmetic surgery procedures.Though quite a lot is possible these days with the various options available to those desiring cosmetic surgery, it is important to be realistic about the options you have recourse to and the results you are hoping to achieve. A new look, while changing your appearance physically also has repercussions on your emotional persona. Procedures like Rhinoplasty, Breast reduction and augmentation, face and nose lifts and tummy tucks often lead to a change in outlook and ultimately in personality.At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, our surgeons provide you with the option of being able to weave your dreams of a beautiful you.
