| Cosmetic Surgery Predicted to Rise | | 2008-07-26 11:58:45 | | A recent study looked at trends in cosmetic surgery to predict future trends. It found that surgical procedures such as California breast augmentation and noninvasive procedures should continue to rise.

| | 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 | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |
| | 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.

| | 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.

| 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!

| | 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.

| | 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 | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |
| | 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 | | By: Face Surgery Orange County | | |
| | 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.

| | 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. This subcutaneous collagen growth allows the facial skin to rise and lends a healthy glow from within the face. The results of laser treatments like the Pearl Laser is facial skin that is visibly blemish-free and recovers from treatment faster and is gentler then the rest of the lasers available. For a patient who wants help with taking care of wrinkles this cosmetic face lift surgery treatment is remarkable less-invasive. The results however, last for less time than a face lift.

| | 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 | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |
| | 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.

| | 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.

| | Cher, Cosmetic Surgery And A Comeback: | | 2008-05-09 00:00:00 | | Original showgirl Cher is back! The 61 year-old singer has taken possession of the stage once again and is going to perform for a 3 year period at Ceasar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Cher and Las Vegas, now that’s one combination that’s got scintillating flamboyance written all over it! Cher is famous for her totally groovy costumes and almost as famous for getting a lot of cosmetic surgery work done during her career. In a recent interview with Oprah, she exclaimed that getting older in showbiz ‘sucks’. 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. I just checked out her official website and she looks stunning in it; even the opening night concert pictures I looked up were fabulous enough to make me green with envy! Plastic surgery and age have mellowed up dear old Cher quite captivatingly. Just last year Cher ‘fessed up to getting some h | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |
| | 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 | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |

Cosmetic Surgery Orange County Can Oblige: | | 2008-04-29 23:35:00 | | That amazing branch of medicine that can rethink the way you look at your body (usually for the better) is none other than plastic surgery. a tummy tuck Beverly Hills, a chin enhancement Beverly Hills or a face lift Pasadena can do wonders for your body image and your personality as well. Top plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California can even modify these major elective cosmetic surgery procedures (working on the guidelines set by a certifying body like the ASPS of course) and can use them for corrective treatment of various parts of the body. This is the serious side of cosmetic surgery and is loosely given the moniker of plastic surgery. It is possible for a patient to be displeased or dissatisfied with the outcome of a procedure like face lift surgery Beverly Hills or a nose surgery Orange County.

| | How Long Does Your Cosmetic Surgery Last?: | | 2008-04-28 00:24:00 | | The first fact about cosmetic surgery Newport Beach that you need to remember is that it includes both cosmetic enhancement operations and reconstructive surgery procedures. The first instance is generally performed to reshape normal body parts in order to improve the patient's over-all appearance. On the other hand reconstructive plastic surgery Orange County is usually performed on unconventional parts of the body to improve their functions, and possibly rectify any deformities. If the plastic surgeon is experienced enough he can also perform a reconstructive surgery and give it a cosmetic edge.The approximate time for procedure however, differs. A tummy tuck procedure Orange County takes 2-3 hours while a botox treatment takes just about 10 minutes. A breast augmentation Beverly Hills takes about an hour as compared to a breast lift surgery Orange County or a breast reduction Orange County any of which could last for 2-3 hours.A chin enhancement Beverly Hills takes about an hour | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |
| | Cosmetic Surgery | | 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.

| | 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.

| | 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.

| | 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 | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |

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.

| | Cigars From Cuba & Cosmetic Surgery From California: | | 2008-03-14 08:07:00 | | 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.

| | 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: | | 2008-02-28 05:54:00 | | 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- | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |

| | 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.

| | 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 | | By: All of Health Insurance | | |

| | Get Beautified With Cosmetic Surgery: | | 2007-10-05 07:26:00 | | 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. The innovations are endless, and so are the possibilities. | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |

Many who advertise the so-called lipo alternative tout their own “secret recipes.” As yet, no drug is approved by the FDA for use in Mesotherapy. The su | | By: Quietly Into the Night | | |
| | Some facts and figures on Cosmetic Surgery | | 2007-07-26 15:43:00 | | LONDON: The number of middle-aged men undergoing cosmetic surgery in the United Kingdom has doubled in just five years as they struggle to come to terms with 'menopaunch', according to a report.Men aged over 50 are spending thousands of pounds and taking weeks off work to have liposuction and other procedures such as eye bag removal (blepharoplasty) in attempts to remove stubborn fat, The Daily Telegraph reported on Monday, quoting a cosmetic surgery company as saying.Figures produced by The Harley Medical Group show that liposuction -- including work done on the abdomen, flanks, chest and chin areas -- accounts for 24 per cent of surgical procedures for 50-something men.This was followed by blepharoplasty (21 per cent), face lifts (14 per cent), rhinoplasty or nose operations (11 per cent), tummy tucks (eight per cent), neck lifts (seven per cent) and ear surgery (two per cent)."We have seen a dramatic increase in the number of 50-something male patients coming into our clinics.
