This Is Not Just Advice – This Is A Requirement: 2008-03-04 04:51:00 Breast enhancement surgery using synthetic materials like silicone implants constitute a major elective surgery. It is not a surgery that can be performed in an hour and neither does it involve overnight recovery. While researching information for breast surgery, it is highly probable that you may have come across warnings and testimonials of patients who have had breast enhancement surgeries that went bad. Do not pass them off as minor casualties, read their stories. You can have an idea of what you need to ask your physician and plastic surgeon from them. It is best that you do not leave out any question unanswered by your cosmetic surgeon. Even if you doubt a certification that is displayed on his clinic wall, request an explanation. Many ‘plastic surgeons’ are known to pass t Read more:Requirement
Areolar Reduction: 2008-02-29 07:25:00 The nipple is actually divided into two parts: the nipple, which projects out and the areola or the dark pigmented skin that surrounds the projection. A small segment of women have nipples that are enlarged more than the normal size. The reasons for this are usually genetic with breastfeeding and pregnancy counted as secondary factors. Enlarged nipples can be rather embarrassing for most women, especially when they wearing form-fitting clothes. But women are not alone in facing this dilemma; men are known to exhibit large nipples as well. Sometimes it may be a result of gynecomastia and at times the condition could be simply genetic. For both sexes, nipple reduction or areolar reduction cosmetic surgery procedures are available, which significantly reduce the size of the nipples t
Milk Production And Breast Surgery: 2008-02-29 06:56:00 Plastic surgeons discourage women who wish to have a child and breastfeed in the future from having a breast reduction surgery. This is mainly because of the major alterations in skin and breast tissue that are involved in this surgery. Plastic surgery has advanced enough in recent years to ensure the breastfeeding abilities of a woman. Techniques that preserve the milk-producing tissue are being reviewed and incorporated in breast reduction procedures and other surgeries like breast augmentation, breast lifts and even mastectomies and nipple reconstructions. It is important to preserve the state of the milk ducts in a cosmetic breast surgery procedure besides protecting the nerves that affect the release of milk as well. If damaged, these ducts and nerves can be regenerated with the Read more:Breast

Are You In Need Of Some Serious Under-sizing? 2008-02-29 06:19:00 Most reports of women who have large breasts state problems that range from the minor to debilitating. Bras that don’t seem to fit, clothes that are king-sized, skin irritation and rash, neck, shoulder and back pain, stretched, ugly looking areolas, stretched skin and a host of other problems plague women who are largely ‘endowed’. In light of these physical problems, large breasts are hardly a blessing for this group of women. Compared to the number of women who would do anything for augmented breasts, breast reduction patients are a rather glaring contradiction. From the standpoint of a mastectomy performed to treat breast cancer, plastic surgeons recommend a breast reduction procedure to get the breast that is unaffected in symmetry with the operated breast. Like breast s
Why Breast Lifts? 2008-02-29 05:51:00 Simply because women, who are according to the standards set by beauty – ‘past their prime’, desire to look and feel young again. The wonderful part about a breast lift surgery is the pert and toned contours that breasts embody post-surgery. A breast lift cosmetic procedure is not a surgery exclusively for older women however. Younger women, especially new mothers, and women who have small breasts are known to have a breast lift surgery as well.Even then, plastic surgeons recommend a breast lift surgery only after the breasts have completed developing. Factors like pregnancy and breast-feeding are known to have a different effect on the shape of the breasts. Breast
lift surgery can also reduce the size of the areola as the procedure displaces the nipple from its previous positi
Nipple Reconstruction – An Overview: 2008-02-29 02:05:00 Most women feel completely restored from a breast reconstruction only after a nipple reconstruction. Doctors perform this procedure as a final step in reconstructive breast surgery mainly because the reconstructed nipple cannot be shifted later. Surgeons make use of an assortment of techniques to reconstruct nipples. Intra-dermal tattooing, flaps using local tissue and skin or cartilage grafting are some of these techniques. Plastic surgeons suggest delaying nipple reconstruction till the body has adjusted to the reconstructed breast. A common complaint of nipple reconstruction is the decrease in projection and flattening of the nipple over time. This causes some people to go in for secondary procedures at times. There are non-surgical nipple options available for patients as well with Read more:Overview
Techniques Of Breast Reconstruction: 2008-02-29 02:04:00 A breast reconstruction surgery is performed using one of three main techniques: m Breast
implants m Tissue expansion m Tissue reconstruction Due to the complexity of the procedure neither of the breast reconstruction techniques related above can be completed in one operation. The main influencing factors for breast reconstruction involve the amount of breast tissue that has been removed during the mastectomy, the body size and the personal preferences of the patient. Women who are heavy smokers, diabetics, obese and/or have had radiotherapy are completely unsuitable for a plastic surgery procedure like breast reconstruction. After a screening procedure, the plastic surgeon determines the breast reconstruction technique that is suitable for the patient. While breast im
After Conquering The Breast Cancer Devil: 2008-02-29 02:02:00 A mastectomy or a lumpectomy is a harrowing experience in itself for women who have been victims of cancer. It is impossible to emerge unscathed from a struggle with breast cancer. The psychological and physical ramifications last long after the surgery. One way surgeons have devised to get women back to a semblance of their pre-cancer life is a breast reconstruction plastic surgery. The main aim of a breast reconstruction is to use the patient’s own body tissues to construct a new breast. Plastic surgeons achieve this using fat deposits, muscle tissue and skin from the abdomen, buttock or the thigh regions. Some cases of breast reconstruction plastic surgery require the use of synthetic material like breast implants to build the breast tissue. Using a combination of implants and i Read more:Breast

The Reasons Behind Gynecomastia: 2008-02-28 05:57:00 You never might have imagined that lavender and tea tree oils could be the reason for prepubertal gynecomastia. But the researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) do believe it to be very likely. The study found these essential oils to be similar to the female hormone estrogen, countering the effects of male androgens. In a way, this study simply compounds the observations of medical experts who hold the hormonal imbalance that boys undergo during puberty to be responsible for gynecomastia. Such imbalances cause the breast tissue to grow under the nipples in the male body. Some cases of prepubertal gynecomastia naturally lose the breast tissue while some are affected well into adulthood. About 50 percent of gynecomastia cases in grown males are Read more:Reasons
Breast Ironing And Breast Augmentation: 2008-02-28 05:56:00 Zero in to Cameroon, a country in Africa, where young teenage girls are pounded mercilessly on their breasts with hot pestles, coconut shells and assorted material. This practice, known as breast ironing, is done in the name of tradition and protection from the roaming eyes of men. About 50 percent of young girls in Africa suffer from this depressing practice and a lot of them come out from it scarred for life- both emotionally as well as physically. Medical experts have determined that such severe modification of the breast tissue can lead to breast cancer and cyst formation. Zero in to California, a state in North America, where young teenage girls get gifted a set of new breasts for their high school graduation.

The Not-So-Humble Bra: 2008-02-27 03:49:00 The piece of women’s clothing known as a bra has come a long way from making the U.S. War Industries Board request women to stop wearing metal-rich corsets to reduce metal consumption to the bra-burning days of women’s lib. Women all over the world have a lot of people to be thankful for as the history of this much-hidden but very supportive garment has been rather colorful. The ancient civilization of Crete is held to be the original birthplace of the bra with its women wearing something like it to support their breasts. The early bras gave away to the very restrictive and uncomfortable corsets, which alternatively down-played and pushed-up the female breasts depending on the ways of the times. Numerous innovations and innovators later, the bra coalesced into its present form an Read more:Humble
A Breast Implant In The Calf: 2008-02-26 06:22:00 There are some things that are believed to be simply impossible, like the mythological floods, the ban on firearms for U.S. civilians and the insertion of breast implants in the calf. Come again you say, breast implants in the leg? Now that’s something that sounds completely implausible. But Lane Jensen has gone ahead and done just that. He got silicone breast implants inserted into a tattoo of a buxom girl on his calf to make the effect look more ‘3D’. But Lane is not the only one to have something like this done on his body. There is an entire culture out there that swears by body modifications. Tattoo artists and body modification artists are the main propagators of this bizarre art from.

Actually, they do have sizeable bosoms on them, but the presence is not as in-your-face as the former group. Actresses like Kiera Knightley, Hillary Swank and Gwyneth Paltrow are a rare breed of women in an industry where it is natural to be fastidious about lifestyle indicators like pet gym memberships, plastic surgery procedure count and designer maternity wear. Kiera Knightley however admits that she does face some consternation over her assets from film directors with her being required to choose doubles for her derriere as well.

Who Will Pay For Your Boob Job? 2008-02-24 23:06:00 Let’s face it, cosmetic surgery treatments like a breast augmentation or a liposuction procedure can be expensive. There are no two ways about it and you will have to convince the bank that you are having a surgery because it is going to save you from a health risk before they decide to give you a loan. While reconstructive cosmetic surgery procedures that can help you correct or remove a health risk do enjoy financial assistance, treatments and surgeries that are purely cosmetic in nature and purpose find no such relief. So you may hope for help to correct ear deformities in your child, but you can forget about similar help for the boob job that you so desperately want. This is where mommies and young women both, turn to methods like online sponsors and beauty contests. There are
What To Do When Your Sack Of Joy Ruptures: 2008-02-24 23:03:00 Contact your doctor. Medical experts suggest removing a breast implant completely in case of a rupture, especially if the implant is silicone gel filled. This gel has a nasty tendency to seep into the breast tissue and harm it. It is also known to cause damage to the lungs and the lymph nodes. If ruptured silicone gel filled breast implants are not removed in time, the patient will have to undergo a mastectomy to remove the entire breast tissue. There are chances of the body being prone to diseases and infections as well if a breast implant is damaged. A ruptured breast implant can be detected by the patient in cases where the causes are accidental shock to the breast or regular stress on the breast. But there are cases where punctured breast implants are known to pass notice if t
Possible Surgery Complication – Capsular Contracture: 2008-02-24 23:02:00 Plastic surgeons and medical experts always stress on the fact that surgery of any kind is not without a certain amount of risk. In the case of a surgery to enhance the breast using breast implants, the surgeon ascertains that the patient is made aware of the nature of a beast augmentation surgery and the complications involved. In the course of the consultation and examination process, plastic surgeons relate capsular contracture as a possible complication that might take place post-surgery. At least 16 percent of breast surgery patients are said to exhibit capsular contracture according to an Inamed survey. The FDA describes this occurrence as a tightening of the scar tissue that is supposed to form around the breast implant. Capsular contracture may occur in either or both the ins Read more:Possible

Nothing Lasts Forever: 2008-02-24 23:01:00 The pursuit of happiness is a life-long quest and the pursuit of beauty often crosses paths with it. Plastic surgery does the best it can to let these two roads converge smoothly. The human body is a complex entity, often rejecting or prolonging adaptation of those elements which are foreign to it regardless of the benefits they may have. Breast implants that are made of silicone too face this obstacle more often then not.While they have been approved for medical use by the Food and Drug Association (FDA), they do have a limited period of use. Carol Ciancutti-Levya, director of an anti-implant documentary states that breast implants may last for less than ten years or for more than ten years. There are even chances of the implants rupturing over time and changing position, which is Read more:Forever

Signs Of A Bad Boob Job: 2008-02-22 06:54:00 Breast implant manufacturer Mentor Corp. agree that choosing the right breast size may very well be the most difficult decision that breast augmentation patients make. Plastic surgeons only advise patients who have adequate breast tissue mass to go ahead with a breast implant surgery. The presence of adequate breast tissue is thus very important for a successful breast augmentation and a satisfactory breast shape. If this requirement is not met, there is nothing that the cosmetic surgeon can do to prevent the edges of the implant from showing against the skin. And this is something you really wouldn’t want. Think Jade Goody. Her implants are highlighted too starkly against her skin. Bigger, rounder breasts for some reason find a lot of takers among petite framed women but the
Creams For Boosting Busts: 2008-02-22 06:52:00 Late last year, Reuters published a news piece on the increasing popularity of breast lift creams among Asian women. These ‘breast enhancement’ creams are viewed by a majority of slender-framed Asian women to resurrect their flat bustlines. The financial officer of a distributor of breast creams even claimed to sell more than one million boxes per year. Regardless of the fact that breast implants and other plastic surgery for the breast enjoy immense popularity in the South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore markets, women seem to prefer less expensive and non-invasive breast creams. The FDA, the regulating body in the U.S. for health products, frowns on these breast enhancement creams.

Selecting The Right Breast Size: 2008-02-21 06:22:00 Thirty four patients who have a breast augmentation re-operation do so just because they want to change the size of their breast implants; they usually end up getting bigger ones. The breast size always involves some amount of confusion for a woman, with a lot of women wearing the wrong bra most often then not. Therefore, it is important to choose the right implant size before having a breast augmentation surgery. Traditionally, breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters or cc, which denote the volume of the implant, not the length, height or width. There are three breast implant profiles, high, moderate and low – depending upon how much the shell projects from the chest wall. The breast implants that are currently available come in a teardrop shape and a round shape. The Read more:Breast

Breast Enhancement Through Periareolar Incisions: 2008-02-20 07:32:00 Breast augmentation using periareolar incisions are very similar to a mastopexy procedure, as the area for incision is the same, namely, the areola. Making an incision under the areola gives the plastic surgeon better access to the underlying breast tissue reducing the surgery time for the patient as well as the doctor. Saline breast implants can be used for women of any body size, but silicone breast implants are recommended for women who have a larger areola. The periareolar incision makes it easy for the cosmetic surgeon to hide the surgery scar as well, due to the different color and texture of the areolar skin. However, there are certain drawbacks which a patient has to evaluate with their doctor during consultation. One of the main reasons for concern over this type of breast au Read more:Breast

When Your Breasts Are Not In Symmetry: 2008-03-14 06:37:00 Well, there’s nothing much you can do for asymmetrical breasts except blame your genes. Asymmetry in breast size usually involves a difference in breast size or breast shape or both these factors. Breast growth starts after the first menstruation and can continue for about four years. After adolescence, the only major changes in breast size are brought about due to pregnancy or menopause. Your first concern about a difference in breast size in the intervening years should always be about breast cancer. However, if the doctor does not find any traces of breast cancer then asymmetry in breast size could be because of fluctuation in estrogen levels, the female hormone controlling breast size. Asymmetry can be ignored in some cases where the difference is not noticeable but in certai
And Another Boob Job…: 2008-03-14 06:35:00 Ms. Kelly Rowland has finally succumbed to the boob job bug with her new set of enhanced breasts. The very talented singer is remembered for her rich chocolate voice and short pixie cut which complemented her athletic frame in her ‘Dilemma’ days (sic 2001). But that was then and this is now and Beyonce is the ruling queen of curvy feminine beauty post Destiny’s Child. Kelly confessed to pining for an hourglass figure just like her cousin and former band mate. Looks like piling the plate did not help much for Rowland who opted for a breast augmentation procedure. Her new breasts oddly contrast the rest of her body which is very svelte and slender. The supposed buttock augmentation doesn’t seem to have done much good for her figure either.When you step in the Plastic Surgery Inst Read more:Boob Job
