The Skinny on Silicone Breast Implants

By -

Silicone breast implants began to gain in popularity in the late 1950's, and since then more than two million women have opted for this plastic surgery option. However, when news reports began disseminating information in the mid-1980's about potential dangers of silicone breast implants, this form of plastic surgery came under fire. The FDA investigated this, which caused concern with some patients; however, silicone breast implants can still be used in most surgical procedures.



It is important to realize that significant scientific evidence was not connected to silicone breast implants and the health problems that women experienced after surgery; it turns out that some people were simply sensitive to the procedure, and others had experienced an allergic reaction to silicone, a natural element found in rocks and sand. Silicone is also found in some medicines, which is why being tested for allergies is extremely important before you receive breast implants. Medical manufacturers also use silicone for artificial joints and heart valves because of its durability.



Because so many women have already had this type of breast implant, it has been difficult for scientists and doctors to get an extensive amount of information on this substance and why it has caused severe health problems for some patients.



If you are still skeptical about whether or not silicone breast implants are for you, you should talk to your doctor about other options, such as saline implants or a simple breast lift.



The saline solution in saline breast implants is salt-based, and may react to your body better. For some women, saline breast implants also make it easier to breastfeed, which is something you will want to think about if you are planning to become pregnant in the future. You should also do a thorough breast examination to determine if simply having a breast lift will give you the look you want. This form of plastic surgery will help to improve your posture and could even increase your cup size, and the size of the breast implant can be relatively small, if your doctor needs to use one at all.



Keeping up with your health and monitoring any reactions you may have after the plastic surgery is also important for your health; be sure to stay in contact with your doctor for months after your surgery to better monitor your progress.



For many women, plastic surgery on their breasts is more than just a solution to vanity; it is an opportunity gain some happiness and satisfaction in their overall appearance. They should have the opportunity to gain a sense of self-confidence in themselves. It is just important that these women take the time to research all of their plastic surgery options before making a final decision.

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
