| 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 | | |

| Of Titanium, Boxers & Chin Surgery | | 2008-07-18 08:10:00 | | A friend of mine recently announced his intentions of enrolling for kick boxing classes and all I could think of was the punches and black eyes that (I feel) are so common to this sport.Apart from my unfamiliarity with the sport, I do know that boxing is a pretty rough activity and that both professional and amateur boxers more often than not, have to take a punch to the face. The good thing is that there is always reconstructive surgery or cosmetic surgery to repair most of the damage.I dug a little further and came across a professional boxer who took a punch to her chin and suffered a split jaw for it. (Note: Link contains gory pictures)Kim Couture is as gutsy as they come and fits the gorgeous sportswoman image to the tee.Kim recently suffered an injury to her jaw during her MMA pro debut spar with her opponent Kim Rose and had to have a chin surgery fix her jaw.

| Is Plastic Surgery Immoral? What World Religions Have to Say | | 2008-07-17 02:50:00 | | By Andrea UseemGiving birth to three healthy boys was priceless. Having an incurably squishy tummy to show for it is embarrassing. And I admit that after inflating and deflating the balloon that is my belly three times, the idea of getting a tummy tuck does sometimes cross my mind. But I worry that altering my body for vanity is wrong.Oprah says cosmetic surgery isn’t something women should be ashamed of, but still, the idea of spending thousands of dollars and undergoing surgery simply to look better doesn’t sit right with me. Since I’m a religious person who tends to think in moral terms, I called up bioethicist Arthur Caplan to get some perspective. Read More

| Zilla may need surgery | | 2008-07-16 16:44:00 | | From Ed Price:Season-ending surgery on Hideki Matsui's left knee is more likely than ever.Matsui, who has not played for the Yankees since June 22, has a recurrence of swelling in his knee and will fly back to New York today to be re-examined by team physician Stuart Hershon on Friday. He had been in Tampa, Fla., trying to work back from the injury."To me it's not a good sign," manager Joe Girardi said. "I don't know what the approach is, but obviously you can't expect him (back) any time soon."General manager Brian Cashman said surgery for Matsui is "certainly possible," and that if it is needed, it would end Matsui's season.

| Your Plastic Surgery Procedure Could Help Cure Your Migrane | | 2008-07-15 23:55:00 | | Anybody who has experienced a migraine will agree that it bestows just about the most awful pain ever on a person.The corrugator supercilii muscle that occurs in the forehead region is believed to be a key player in why people suffer from migraines. Cosmetic surgeons recently discovered a cosmetic surgery technique that can reduce this problem and probably do away with it completely.Usually removed to reduce the frown lines that occur as people age, the corrugator supercilii muscle's absence was found to bring relief to many candidates who faced migraine problems. The removal reduced the pressure placed on the nerves in the forehead area and as a result, relieved the candidate from the splitting and at times nauseous headaches that characterize a migraine.At this point, I would have to point out that not everyone is a candidate for this plastic surgery technique.Plastic surgeons have to administer a dose of botulinum toxin in order to ascertain the candidate's suitability f | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |

| Stem Cells For Nose Surgery? Probably | | 2008-07-15 23:43:00 | | Stem cell research has been on for at least two decades now and has made tremendous headway in biological and other related medical studies.Generally, research utilizes two kinds of stem cells- embryonic and adult stem cells. While human embryonic stem cells (isolated from human embryos) are a largely controversial field, studies continue.Plastic surgery procedures like nose enhancement and corrective nose surgery could benefit from adult stem cells that occur in the adult human body and display the potential to reconstruct lost tissue or grow it non-invasively. Certain reconstructive nose implant procedures make use of synthetic materials like silicone, which could be substituted with inherently cultivated stem cell implants.Over a period of time, soft tissue implants tend to lose at least 40-60 percent of their total volume. Stem cells, on the other hand, once they have generated the final size and shape of the tissue mass (bone, fat, cartilage, etc.) could reta | | By: Nose Surgery Beverly Hills | | |

| BDD & Chin Surgery – Bad Combination | | 2008-07-15 07:20:00 | | BDD is short for body dysmorphic disorder, a condition that makes a person feel insecure about their body and perceive it to have an excess of flaws. A primarily mental condition, BDD is usually found to affect anyone in their teens or above. A clinic in Victoria, Australia discovered at least 15 percent of patients suffering from this disorder visit plastic surgeons in the hopes of finding an antidote to their 'flaws'. Many of them are quite blessed in the beauty department, but the nature of the disorder is such that they will not rest until they have cosmetic surgery. Facial surgery procedures, such as chin enhancement, cheek implants, etc. are more common among this group of people. Chin surgery doctors need to screen a patient before consenting to perform a chin implant or an enhancement on them. As it is one of the focal points of the face, repeated chin surgery procedures demanded by a BDD patient will result in a weak and shapeless chin.

| Knee Replacement Surgery | | 2008-07-07 21:00:00 | | Knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty, is a common operation done to relieve the pain and disability from degenerative arthritis, most commonly osteoarthritis, but other arthritides as well.it consists of replacing the diseased and painful joint surfaces of the knee with metal and plastic components shaped to allow continued motion of the knee.Incapacitating pain from arthritis of the knee affecting everyday activities -- particularly walking and standing -- is the main reason to have a total knee replacement. The patient must be aware of the risks of the surgery and be prepared to take those risks rather than continue with the symptoms.The surgery involves exposure of the front of the knee, with detachment of part of the quadriceps muscle (vastus medialis) from the patella. The patella is displaced to one side of the joint allowing exposure of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The ends of these bones are then accurately cut to shape using cutting guides o | | By: Biosolution | | |

But what if day after day, the image that stares back at you dissatisfies you for some reason or another? It could be a few wrinkles here a droopy, oily nose there, it could be anything.

| 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.

| VBLOCTM Vagal Blocking Therapy – Alternative To Bariatric Surgery | | 2008-07-01 01:16:00 | | The VBLOCTM vagal blocking therapy is touted as one of the most advanced technologies to hit the obesity-reduction market in a long time. This implantable medical device could remove the need for a bariatric surgery, making it much easier on the patient who is obese or overweight. While not as extreme as any other weight loss surgery, the vagal nerve blocking device nonetheless provides significant weight reduction in the patient. The device works similar to a heart pacemaker but unlike the latter it makes use of high-frequency electricity to block the nerve impulses between the brain, the tummy and the pancreas. These blocking signals are used to influence how the stomach functions and digests food. Weight loss surgery is a very common option among patients who want to better their obese bodies. Often cosmetic surgery procedures like tummy tuck surgery or liposuction are used to shape and tone the lumps that result from a weight loss process.

With the war paint on she looks like an exotic Hawaiian beach babe and nothing remotely like the mommy she looks like sans makeup. While makeup is one way to hide raw facial features and enhance them, eyelid surgery is another more permanent way to build up on physical flaws that bother.

Family doctors are a common name for them. While the incredible knowledge a GP possesses is commendable and very trustworthy how far will you go to trust your family doctor to perform a liposuction surgery? The Health Ministry of Singapore thinks GPs can be trusted to perform a liposuction procedure though and are set to pass a redraft of guidelines for this cosmetic surgery procedure. If the move goes unopposed, GPs will be legalized to administer a liposuction surgery under local anesthesia to remove less than a litre of fat. As if the liposuction casualties that are reported are not enough to warrant more stringent precautions for plastic surgery.

| 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.

| Face Surgery And Anesthesia – Now More Pain | | 2008-07-01 00:41:00 | | A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that post-surgery pain heightens if the cosmetic surgery patient has been introduced to general anesthesia. A procedure like face lift surgery often calls for the doctor to employ complex techniques to reconstruct the patient's face. In reconstructive face lift surgery especially there is often a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures executed to get the desired changes. Cosmetic surgeons administer general anesthesia if this is the case allowing them to conduct the face surgery or face implant operation while the patient is unconscious. The research conducted on rats discovered that the chemically irritating anesthesia drugs commonly integrated in general anesthesia can cause pain-sensing nerves strong sensitivity and inflammation. Most patients will shudder at that and tell their face lift surgeon to use local anesthesia for their plastic surgery. However, it wo | | By: Face Surgery Orange County | | |

Her strange getups and body language somehow complemented her voice which if I could describe in word would be called 'sweet'. Debbie has grown up a lot now and is almost 63 but is far from an aging dowager put to pasture. She looks absolutely stunning and ready to give her younger counterparts stiff competition with a face that has been revamped to the last wrinkle.

| General Anesthesia & Pronounced Post-Chin Surgery Pain | | 2008-07-01 00:35:00 | | For most people a chin surgery means a minor cosmetic operation and treat it as just so.While this might hold true for basic chin enhancement work, a more complicated procedure like chin reduction or chin implant surgery to adjust the contours of a chin, involves more complex work.Towards this end, plastic surgeons plan out the procedure and advice the patient on pre and post-surgery care. One of the components of a chin surgery- anesthesia administration, call for acquainting the candidate about the effects and requirements of the step.While local anesthesia is common for outpatient procedures that are basic, general anesthesia is preferred for inpatient treatments or combination chin enhancement procedures.A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that the drugs used for general anesthesia could prove to amplify post-surgery pain after the patient awakes.

| Health Tip: Before Getting Plastic Surgery | | 2008-06-24 10:30:01 | | (HealthDay News) -- You should do your homework before you elect to have plastic surgery. Here are suggestions on how to prepare for the procedure, courtesy of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons: Research the surgery until you fully understand its possible benefits and risks.

Talk to other people who have had the procedure to gain their insight. Don't be afraid to discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor. Be sure the physician knows your complete medical history. Make sure the surgeon you select is qualified, properly trained, and certified to perform the procedure. -- Diana Kohnle | | By: angelite nurses | | |

| Older Plastic Surgery Patients & Anesthesia | | 2008-06-17 23:45:00 | | Earlier in the year, researchers at the Duke University Medical Center discovered that patients above 60-years were more at risk for long-term cognitive problems after going through elective surgery procedures. Cosmetic surgery too falls under this classification leading to some amount of concern among individuals who favor it and have had it. The study found a lot of young and middle-aged and elderly patients experiencing postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) when they were discharged. Within three months, patients aged 60 and above were found to exhibit POCD more than the other age groups. While researchers cannot pinpoint the exact causes of POCD, anesthesia administration during surgery is believed to be one of the triggers of this condition. There are some factions that attribute Bill Clinton’s lash out during his wife’s electoral campaign to POCD.

| 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.

Matt stars in Bone Deep an action flick that includes T.I. a rapper facing imprisonment for weapons possession. Jezebel calls Matt “the poor man’s Clive Owen” and they couldn’t be less correct in this point. Matt has always portrayed roles that may at best be called eclectic and in the process has left behind his teenage heartthrob status to achieve a more mature look. Chiseled cheekbones and deep-set eyes make Matt perfect for roles spanning from diabolic villains to smooth-talking charmer to the boy-next-door. The nose enhancement surgery he is believed to have had just polished looks that already made women hoot.

The vivid colors are a treat for every eye and help in understanding our world better. However, when this god gifted vision of ours gets blurred due to weak eyesight, our perception of things around us can also change. Although we have spectacles and contact lenses to help us in our handicap, but even these devices is a necessary burden, nevertheless. The glasses are perched on the nose all day long and without them we feel helpless and same are the case with the contact lenses. Inserting an artificial device in your eyes cannot be all that comfortable, even through the new age soft lenses promise comfort and convenience to the user. Hence, considering all these facts, it would be safe to say that nothing can take the place of natural, perfect vision.

Unlike many of her glam counterparts, she has not given up on her looks. Neither has she let her plastic surgeon go berserk on her face. The face lift surgery she had without her husband’s knowledge stands testimony to her makeover and her un-50-like looks. While the tell-tale signs of aging can be seen just lurking around a faint wrinkle, Toyah’s face is far from crinkled with them. Toyah was responsible for many of the looks which can be seen in pop and punk divas today with her fluorescent hairdos and extreme makeup. Regardless of her flamboyant attitude towards personal enhancement, Wilcox claims her wish for a face lift procedure was planted after Jonathan Ross commented on her looks.

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.

| LASIK Eye Surgery animation | | 2008-06-16 06:07:00 | | LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a type of refractive laser eye surgery performed by ophthalmologists for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.[1] The procedure is generally preferred to photorefractive keratectomy, PRK, (also called ASA, Advanced Surface Ablation) because it requires less time for the patient's recovery, and the patient feels less pain, overall; however, there are instances where PRK/ASA is medically indicated as a better alternative to LASIK.The LASIK technique was made possible by the Colombian-based Spanish ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer, who, around 1950 in his clinic in Bogotá, Colombia, developed the first microkeratome, used to cut thin flaps in the cornea and alter its shape, in a procedure called keratomileusis. Stephan Schaller assisted. Barraquer also provided the knowledge about how much of the cornea had to be left unaltered to provide stable long-term results.Later technical and procedural developments included the RK (radial ke | | By: Biosolution | | |

| lasik:Is Lasik Surgery good for the eyes? | | 2008-06-13 07:36:00 | | In first glance, it does look good as the cornea is reshaped (instead of any concave or convex lenses). But does it stay that way? Is there some long term problems faced by patients of lasik surgery? From what I have found researching on Los Angles Lasik Eye Surgery patients, there seem to be not much evidence to the complications theory. In my personal experience, two of my friends had theirs done eight years ago and both of them are doing fine. If you ask any Los Angeles lasik surgeon, Dr. Andrew Caster for example, I think you will get the same response, that machines and experience have not made it a safe exercise. But that is not to say that complications do not occur, but if you go to a good eye doctor, then she or he will (or at least should) examine your eligibility and reject you for lasik if you are unsuitable. For example, you cornea might be too thin or your eyesight may be too poor, in which case they might recommend contacts. Also, there are many types of lasik. For peopl | | By: LASIK. | | |

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.

Besides being the gateway to our soul our eyes are also, one of the primary connection to the outside world. We get to know the people around us, the colors, and the objects and in fact our whole surrounding as we perceive it is based on our senses, out of which our eyesight plays a key role. Now, if your eyesight were to get affected and your vision became less than perfect, your world would get blurred too. Defective vision poses many problems, especially when you are leading an active life outside the four walls of your home.

| Heart surgery safer at night | | 2008-06-09 06:52:00 | | By Jeremy Laurance, Health EditorOperations are now safest when carried out at night, according to a major investigation into deaths following heart surgery. After decades in which the NHS has fought to reduce risks outside normal working hours, heart patients now get better care after 6pm and before 8am. The explanation is that patients are more likely to be operated on by a consultant out of hours, rather than a junior surgeon, according to the National Confidential Enquiry into Preoperative Deaths (NCEPOD), whose report is published today. The big expansion in consultant numbers in recent years and the cut in junior doctors' hours because of EU regulations is making round-the-clock hospital medicine safer – in contrast to primary care, where GPs are less available out of hours. During the day, heart surgery is more often performed by junior doctors.

He firmly believes that through presbyopia cannot be cured, we can achieve correction through lasik. If you are an individual needing reading vision correction and considering laser eye surgery in Southern California , you will find this article very interesting.Lasik alters the shape of the cornea, which is the clear tissue in the very front of the eye. The need for reading glasses that comes as we get older (known as presbyopia) is a result of the aging of the lens deep inside the eye, behind the colored part of the eye. Presbyopia means "old eyes". So Lasik cannot correct presbyopia. However, Lasik can be used to create monovision, just as glasses or contact lenses do, in which one eye is adjusted for distance and one for near. Many Los Angeles Monovision patients prefer contact lenses to the alternative of using reading glasses. The same effects can be achieved with Lasik.

This allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience.Patients undergoing surgery usually undergo preoperative evaluation. It includes gathering history of previous anesthetics, and any other medical problems, physical examination, ordering required blood work and consultations prior to surgery.The level of anesthesia achieved ranges on a continuum of depth of consciousness from minimal sedation to general anesthesia.
