Pectoral Implants Give Your Chest Better Definition

By -

It seems there are those of both genders that are not happy with what nature gave them in terms of their chests. For women, breast implants can result in a larger, fuller shaped chest as desired. For men, the most desired look today seems to be firm and defined pectoral muscles. Not all men can achieve this effect, no matter how hard they work out. Plastic surgery offers help to those whose muscles are not built for the look they want-the solution may be pectoral implants.



According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, pectoral implant cosmetic surgery is growing in popularity, with the number of procedures rising 8 percent from 2006 to 2007. Like many breast implants, pectoral implants are made of silicone.



Unlike breast devices, these are of a rigid material and more flattened in shape. They are designed to be soft enough to be pliable but still feel like expertly defined muscles. The devices can be clear or opaque. Cosmetic surgeons offer pectoral implants in many different sizes in order to provide the ideal proportionality of the chest to the rest of the body.



In fact, many plastic surgeons can even "custom fit" the devices by creating molds of the patient's own chest muscles and making the implants themselves. This is often the option that created the best match and comfort.



How It Works



The cosmetic surgery procedure is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia can be used, but general is typically preferred. The endoscopic method involves making small incisions under the armpits.



The devices are then pushed through the incision and moved into position under the pectoral muscles by the plastic surgeon. This is done so that the implants look more natural, being shielded from sticking out against the skin by the natural muscles. The effect of this plastic surgery technique is to simply enhance and define the look of chest. After the devices are well positioned, the incisions are sutured together and closed.



The cosmetic surgery takes about an hour and a half, after which the chest will be wrapped tightly with ACE bandages to help the implants stay in the right position and help the chest get the needed amount of compression in the healing process. The cosmetic surgeon will recommend that the bandages be worn for approximately three weeks.



The recovery usually means lots of sleep and rest during the first few days. It also means some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with medications prescribed by the plastic surgeon. The swelling can often go down faster with the application of ice packs.



After pectoral implant plastic surgery, patients are asked not to raise their arms above their head for at least a day or two to give the incisions time to heal properly. This means that showering is not permitted until the plastic surgeon gives the okay.



Most men can return to their jobs after about a week, unless their jobs require lots of moving and lifting, in which case it may take longer. The cosmetic surgeon typically cautions patients to stay away from intense exercise for a month or more. Pectoral implants are a new cosmetic surgery procedure that can help men increase their confidence by giving them a chest that looks firm, defined, and well-exercised. It is a simple procedure that offers lasting benefits.

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
