Breast Implants - Enhance Your Breasts and Feel More Feminine

By -

Many women choose to enhance their breasts by the use of breast implants. Before undergoing any breast implant surgery, make sure you are in good health and choose a reputable doctor. Breast implants can not only enlarge women's breasts but also reshape those which droop or are misshapen. They can be used also to replace tissue removed due to cancer or trauma which led to breast abnormality.



Implants are usually filled with two materials, saline or silicone gel. Saline ones have a silicone shill but they are filled with saline. Silicone ones have a silicone shell and are filled with silicone gel. In the past, the FDA placed a hold on the silicone gel implants but has since upheld their moratorium.



Most individuals who choose augmentation surgery are usually younger. In addition, more mothers are electing to get the surgery to correct adverse affects due to pregnancy and motherhood. Regardless, most undergo the procedure to increase their self esteem and feel better about their bodies. Other techniques include an incision place in the armpit or an incision in the navel.



Breast augmentation surgery usually takes a few hours to perform. The length and type of procedure can depend on the type of implant and how and where it is placed. Many times the incision is placed below the breast in the infra-mammary fold. Others choose to place the incision near the areola. With this method, there is a higher degree of capsular contracture.



Individuals must make sure to not get implants which are too large because this can increase the likelihood of complications during and after surgery. It can also increase the likelihood of rupture. This can also increase the likelihood of back issues after the surgery. For the most part, those which are too large for the body can look unrealistic to others.



The recovery period can vary depending on the individual and type of procedure. Most women are able to resume normal daily activities after a week. Those women who place their implants under the muscle can expect a longer recovery time and may experience more pain. The patient should avoid cigarettes before, during and after the surgery.



Most scars and discomfort will fade months after the surgery. There is a chance that an implant may rupture in the body. If that is the case, then most doctors suggest that implant be removed. Generally, the longer the implant remains in the body, the larger the likelihood for a rupture. This is why it is important that individuals go to the doctor routinely and get tests done to see if there is a rupture.



Capsular contracture also can occur, which occurs when the capsule tightens and squeezes the implant. This can be very painful and can distort the look of the breast. Many times, the implant must be removed with capsular contracture also.



Breast augmentation surgery can be safe as long as the patient follows the advice of the doctor and understands the risks and side effects. As long as the patient chooses a reputable doctor with experience, they should feel relatively minimal pain after the surgery.

Eyelid Surgery - Special Considerations For Older Plastic Surgery Patients

By -
In 2007, the eyelid lift was the number one cosmetic procedure of the 55 and older crowd. That age group also accounted for nearly 50% of all the people having the procedure. Now, cosmetic surgical procedures certainly aren't just for the older crowd anymore. Men and women in the 30s and 40s are turning back the years as well. However, because their skin still has good elasticity, they can use the non-invasive methods to regenerate their skin. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity and surgical techniques are the only way to truly get rid of the wrinkles and tighten the skin. While surgical cosmetic work is common in people 55 and older, this means that the surgeon and the patient have to take more precautions. Here are some of the special considerations for older patients seeking an eyelid lift: 1. Overall health - This is not to say that everyone seeking plastic surgery that is less than 55 is in perfect health, but the chance of having certain health issues is increased w

Eyelid Surgery - Why a Laser Eye Lift is Better Than Eye Cream

By -
Modern eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the eyelids and remove tired eyes, bags under eyes, eye hoods, dark circles and eye wrinkles with much less down time and fewer complications than ever before. New laser eyelid surgery is faster with less bruising and no change in eyelid shape after surgery. Expecting an eye cream to remove eye bags is like putting an aspirin on top of your head to cure a headache. What is also new is that the laser is used for eyelid surgery and a visible incision on the lower eyelid is no longer required. The new technique is called transconjunctival blepharoplasty meaning the incision for the lower eyelid surgery is made on the inside of the eyelid-thus no visible scar and no change in eyelid shape. What Can Modern Laser Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty Achieve? Remove Eye Hoods and Tired Eyes - As our eyes age loose skin develops on the upper eyelid and the tissue falls down over the eye lashes. This is called Dermatochalasis, but is commonly called eye hoods o

Nose Job From 500 BC To 2008

By -
A nose job is medically termed as rhinoplasty. It is the name given to the surgical procedure normally performed by a plastic surgeon to improve the cosmetic appearance of a person's nose. A nose job is the medical alteration of one's nose look to make it look better. Sushruta, a Hindu physician, was the one who first introduced and developed the concept of plastic surgery for noses. It was in 500 BC when he attempted to reconstruct the noses of his amputated patients. During that time, noses were removed as punishment for certain crimes. The procedure surrounding a nose job requires local or general anesthesia, depending upon the extent of the operation. There will be incisions made inside the nose. They can also be made on the skin separating the nostrils. The surgeon would reshape the cartilage and the bone of the nose. Without anesthesia, the patient won't be able to withstand the pain. This is also the reason why nose jobs can only be conducted inside a hospital or a f
