Vain About Varicose – A Good Trait: 2008-03-17 07:52:00 The latest findings of a survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) state that sclerotherapy, the standard treatment for spider and varicose veins, is now the number two most performed cosmetic surgery procedure. Occurring more commonly in the calves of an individual, varicose veins have a distinct gnarled and viscous look about them.

These conditions occur more commonly in women and individuals of a higher age group (usually above 50).differs in severity almost as much as they do in health concerns.

Getting Knobby Knees Smoothened – Is It Worth It? 2008-03-19 07:53:00 Actress Demi Moore had a hate-hate relationship with her knees for a long time. While the rest of her body was properly taken care of (allegedly by plastic surgery), the knees were a constant area of shame for this svelte beauty.So she went ahead and had plastic surgery of the knees to get rid of the knobbed look. The £5,000 worth knee surgery gave her a set of knees that complement the rest of her perfect body.Plastic surgeons however, have always cautioned patients against getting any cosmetic work done on this part of the human body. This is mainly because any incisions done in the knee area cannot be hidden behind any crevices. The knees probably have to be one of the most exposed parts of the human body.The scars from any plastic surgery done in this area will be very visible and add Read more:Knees

Know More About The MRSA Infection: 2008-03-24 06:35:00 At least one in three humans carries Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium, in their skins or in their noses without developing an infection. A strain of this bacterium called Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), when introduced into a body through a cut or an incision is known to cause fatal infections.This is further aided due the more virulent nature of the MRSA bug and the speed with which it spreads through the body tissues. Infections caused by the MRSA superbug are one of the latest problems that cosmetic surgeons are grappling with.According to a report in the March/April issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, about ½ percent of patients undergoing a facelift surgery between 2001 and 2007 developed superbug infections. Other patients undergoing cosmetic soft tiss
Awfully Bad Lips – Avoiding Them: 2008-03-24 04:27:00 For some reason most female celebrities decide to have a cosmetic lip augmentation procedure at some point in their life. I took a look at a couple of celebrities who have had plastic surgery on bodyphilosophy.org and one pattern that stood out was that most of them had lip augmentation, and quite a number had the job excessively overdone. To cite a few of the worst pucker jobs, Courtney Love, Christina Aguilera, Jenna Jameson, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, etc. These famous lip augmentation jobs ranged from the use of injectable fillers to lip implants. Injectable fillers like human or bovine collagen, Restylane, HylaForm, Radiance and Artecoll are some of the more popular choices preferred by plastic surgeons world-wide for lip enhancement. The results of injectable fillers last an Read more:Awfully
Never Going To Go Under The Knife? Hah, Think Again: 2008-03-26 00:39:00 Irish television presenter Caroline Morahan claims that she got her first pair of heels at the age of three. Co-host of the popular Irish fashion show ‘Off the Rails’, Morahan comes across as a very stylish Irish with her dark hair and full figure. Known for her strong-voiced views about drugs and other body-abusing substances, she stands out as an anomaly in the image and supplement conscious world of fashion. Which is another reason why her views against plastic surgery and cosmetic modification are hard to digest. According to her, “You can't cheat your body: bones are bones.” Bones may be bones Miss Morahan, but it’s hard to ignore the little touches of cosmetic surgery that enhances thousands of faces and bodies in the glamour business.

Leeches And Plastic Surgery: 2008-03-28 06:59:00 The lady is very notorious for her very I-don’t-care-less attitude and leech therapy has not stopped Demi Moore from getting any more assertive about what she does and how she does it. The striking actress underwent a leech therapy on a recent trip to Austria to get the toxins out of her system.Before you go eww I would have you know that leeches have earned a very good name for themselves in medical circles. Used in by-gone eras for blood-letting and curing practically everything from headaches to fever, leeches have proven their worth time and time again. The leeches used for cosmetic surgery or reconstructive surgery are not common leeches though. For medical use, leeches like the Hirudo medicinalis are used and have been found to be better than swamp leeches.Reconstructive pla Read more:Plastic

Cosmetic Beautification For 50-Somethings: 2008-03-27 06:39:00 The elegant Dame Helen Mirren (67) when placed next to the erratic Sharon Osbourne (50) naturally comes across as more beautiful for her age. Interestingly, these dynamic women have both cosmetically enhanced their looks. So a poll which voted Osbourne as the woman to benefit most from plastic surgery comes as a surprise.The thing about plastic surgery for older men and women is that while you don’t age naturally, you are certainly given a marvelous boost in ageing gracefully. A lot of these 50 plus individuals are immensely successful and at such an age, most have achieved their goals in life.So what drives them to have a cosmetic revamp of their bodies? Professionally speaking, most men over 50 have plastic surgery procedures like facelifts, hair transplants and wrinkle-busting treatme Read more:Cosmetic
An Anesthesiologist’s Nightmare - Malignant Hyperthermia: 2008-03-27 06:35:00 The recent death of 18 year old Stephanie Kuleba due to malignant hyperthermia complications has raised the spotlight once again on plastic surgery and this particular complication. The high school senior chose to have a reconstructive breast augmentation surgery at such a young age in order correct asymmetrical breasts and an inverted areola.Malignant
hyperthermia syndrome is observed to be a genetic condition. It is very difficult to detect and identify people who are at risk from this condition. Very often the first time it is noticed in an individual is when anesthesia is being administered to the patient. In cases like Stephanie’s the first time was too late.Since the condition is hereditary, genetic testing and a biopsy of the muscle tissue can be done in order to detect it.

Auto Part Lubricators To Reduce Facial Wrinkles: 2008-03-27 06:33:00 This is the part where you gag in horror and disbelief, but read on and you will know just why plastic surgeons prefer using FDA approved fillers to do the job of getting rid of wrinkles.The story circulating in plastic surgery circles lately is about the late King of Rock and Roll’s wife, Priscilla Presley. Reports of the doings of her ‘plastic surgeon’ recently surfaced and it was discovered that he was sentenced to 18 months in prison for smuggling drugs and using them on people illegally. Notable personalities like Larry King and Lionel Ritchie’s wives were found to be injected with a non-FDA approved drug by the supposedly legitimate dermatologist as part of a treatment for wrinkle reduction. Cases like these highlight the necessity to insist that a registered and experien
Get Acquainted With Medi Spas: 2008-03-31 03:34:00 The advanced surgical institute, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, recently launched an entire range of advanced skin care and a revamp of the Gym and Medi Spa facilities. Keeping our Medi Spa centers updated with everything spanning from the latest in cosmetic technology to the best in skin-care has always been a priority for us. For the average consumer, to explain the need for a medi spa center would be an exhaustive process. In a nutshell, the ASPS simplifies a medi spa center as any location that offers anything and everything in skin-care and minor cosmetic enhancement like facials and even laser treatments and medical procedures. Some medi spas are located in shopping malls and can even be stumbled upon in beauty salons, while the more advanced (and mildly expensive)
Is Eighteen Too Soon For Cosmetic Surgery?: 2008-03-30 23:31:00 Ashlee Simpson, Ashley Tisdale and maybe the Jonas Brothers member Joe Jonas have all had plastic surgery, either for reconstructive purposes or for plain ol’ cosmetic joy. 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 co Read more:Cosmetic

Faces That Rock And Faces That Stink: 2008-04-02 00:59:00 Sarah Jessica Parker bagged the role of a lifetime with her iconic character Carrie Bradshaw in the hit series Sex and the City. As Carrie, SJP made millions of women re-think the way they dress and look with her quirky ensembles and designer threads.So when Maxim voted her the ‘Unsexiest women alive’, her disappointment is completely understandable. SJP is rumored to have had a rhinoplasty to narrow down her nose which by unanimous opinion was some very good plastic surgeryPut her next to the once quite passable Courtney Love and you would have thought this mad rocker would have bagged the ‘honor’. But guess Love will have to wait for next year by when she might make some more bad decisions and get a bad plastic surgeon or a worse boyfriend.Plastic surgery is not just for everyone Read more:Stink
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, las Read more:Cosmetic

Living Room Laser Treatments: 2008-04-01 08:24:00 The U.S. Food and Drug Association recently cleared a device called Silk’n for removal of hair growing in the underarms, lower legs and on the bikini line. The gadget makes use of lasers to get rid of unwanted hair in the desired areas.Medical analysts predict a rise in demand for such devices which rule out the need for repeated visits to the plastic surgeon’s office. One restriction that is placed on the sale of laser hair removal devices however is over their OTC sale. It requires only plastic surgeons and physicians to retail them. This is just as well, because laser hair removal treatments are not for everyone. For instance, dark skinned individuals and light haired people do not respond well to laser hair removal treatments.

Slipping Into Sky High Heels Effortlessly With Botox: 2008-04-01 08:22:00 The new ‘it’ shoes are simply to-die-for; take a look at the new Christian Louboutin red-soled shoe range and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Highly celebrated and proudly flaunted by many a celebrity, socialite and climber, these red-soled shoes remind each woman that it doesn’t matter how meaty or lacking her legs are. Shod in a knock-out pair, she can have the world at her feet. But one of the main problems associated with high heels is the strain it puts on the calf muscles and the heels. A lot of women balk at the idea of wearing stilettos for this very reason. Medical researchers have observed a variety of foot problems ailing people who wear high heels frequently. One of these problems is metatarsalgia which is a pain in the ball of the foot. Bunions, calluses and Read more:Heels
When One Thing Leads To Another: 2008-04-04 08:37:00 Croatian model Kristina Lumbar thinks, “all guys love girls with large breasts and plump lips, they just don`t want to admit it.” This probably explains why girls as young as 18 want to have breast augmentation procedures.Medical experts maintain that from the 400,000 breast augmentation surgeries performed in the U.S. last year at least 2 percent hailed from the under 18 age group. Plastic surgeons also get many girls coming to them with pictures of Angelina Jolie and Jessica Simpson for getting some cosmetic surgery work done celebrity-style on them. The famous and unanimously sexy Angelina pout however, has given over to the trout-pout sported increasingly by the new breed of actresses like Jenna Jameson, Leslie Ash and Traci Bingham.

The New Lift On The Block: 2008-04-04 01:09:00 Boasted about as mini facelift, this cosmetic surgery procedure is another example of the latest developments taking place in the area of day care surgery. Plastic surgeons in Seattle have developed a technique to perform a face lift that can be performed in a plastic surgeon’s office and involves no anesthesia at all.The only pain reducing agent involved is a drug called valium which is introduced to a patient during certain cosmetic procedures.Outpatient or day care plastic surgery requires the presence of an anesthesiologist who assists the plastic surgeon during the procedure. This new type of face lift however, removes the need to have an anesthesiologist thus reducing costs, but also adding to the risks involved. Regular cosmetic face lifts take two to three weeks for the swellin
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.
Hairy Woes: 2008-04-09 07:34:00 George Clooney shares the fears of thousands of American men who go bald before their time. All of 48, the suave and stylish Clooney is scared that his hair will thin out and land him less plum roles ultimately leading to a fizzle out in his career.Men working in professions where looks and grooming matter (which is just about any profession) don’t mind spending those extra bucks for a pate that looks fuller for this very reason.But other Hollywood men have done just fine with their receding hairlines by opting for hair transplant treatments to get back their locks. Johnny Depp, Owen Wilson, Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, the list goes on and features just about every hot guy on the silver screen.

And to think Amanda Holden wants to look like Rivers when she’s old! The pretty 37 year-old Holden like Rivers also believes in cosmetic surgery with one minor difference – she wants to do it when the time is right.Joan Rivers on the other hand, is constantly dabbling in plastic surgery and has gone so far out in practicing her beliefs that her doctor refuses to see her anymore.

A Responsible Decision – Plastic Surgery: 2008-04-11 04:14:00 Tell me, however does stripping in a movie make you a mature, responsible actress? Apparently Lindsey Lohan thinks so, the daft sucker! You would think that women like Dame Judi Dench and Helen Mirren were crazy to take the long hard route to superstardom ignoring something like stripping for their roles which could have made them respectable actors.Lilo actually went and replicated Marilyn Monroe’s photo shoot as well on the February cover of New York. Now Marilyn Monroe may not be though of as a mature actress but what she did have going for her was oodles of charisma and beauty that was nearly flawless. The world gasped when Lohan attempted to copy this timeless beauty.No amount of cosmetic surgery would be able to make Lindsey Lohan equal to a Helen Mirren or a Marilyn Monroe. Why?

How Pert Is Your Butt?: 2008-04-10 23:54:00 Most male fantasies include a butt that that defies gravity and breasts to go with it. A woman with the right curves on her can make any masculine mind go crazy. Jennifer Lopez probably insured her derriere banking on this very fact.The ASPS noted a total of over 1,038 buttock implants performed in 2007, a 62 percent rise from the previous year. Is this number set to triple by 2008? The statistics do point to this possibility not to mention fashion trends throwing out the skinny for the curvy.Cosmetic surgery procedures like buttock lifts, buttock implants and complete lower body lifts have a solution for plumping up the backsides of women. The implants used for a buttock augmentation are harder and firmer than the more fluid ones used in a breast augmentation procedure.The procedure is no
What’s Cooking In Canadian Plastic Surgery? Will It Affect The U.S.? 2008-04-14 08:24:00 It’s sad that deaths mark the start of any major law process in the world.

Breast reconstructions, Otoplasty, correcting asymmetry in pectoral muscles in men, etc. are some of the reconstruction procedures that are provided at the PlasticSurgery
Institute of California.The boost in self esteem that such procedures provide is very noticeable and can turn out to be advantageous for the patient.

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 wais Read more:Surgery

Athletes And Plastic Surgery - Viable Or Not?: 2008-04-18 07:29:00 Anna Kournikova is looking very toned and sexy these days. The trademark tubby body that we are used to seeing in female tennis stars has disappeared from the Russian bombshell’s body. Anna may be a plastic surgery teetotaler though, as she looks just like she did when she made her debut on the tennis courts. Oh her weight did fluctuate over the years, but on the whole she looks the same. But there are athletes and sportsmen who have dabbled in plastic surgery and cosmetic enhancement from time to time.There were the nasal strips that surfaced in the previous decade which promised to increase air intake for athletes. More often than not, plastic surgery among athletes tends to lean towards the reconstructive/corrective type. Sportsmen and women who are actively into sports have been Read more:Plastic

Ear correction: 2008-04-21 06:58:00 Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is typically done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to moderate the size of large ears. Few unfortunate people grow up with prominent ears, receiving teases and scoffs.In order to avoid this, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California suggests ear correction
surgery, preferably when the child is between ages four to 5 years.Ear surgery, by and large takes about two to three hours. However, complicated procedures may take longer. The problem determines the duration of the operation.There are two ways that cosmetic surgeons go about this surgical procedure. With one of the more common techniques, the surgeon makes a small incision in the back of the ear to expose the ear cartilage. He will then sculpt the cartilage and bend it back toward
