In the past 10 years or so, a plethora of products and techniques have been developed to make lip augmentation more effective and patient friendly. Today, lip injections are done with relative ease of due to surgeons utilizing tiny 30 and 31 gauge needles (approx. as thick as a dozen human hairs).

Some of these new techniques and injectable substances now used to plump up one’s lips include.

Fat transfer: In this surgeons harvest through liposuction or excision the patient’s fat from places on the body where it can be spared and then inject it or surgically place it into the lips. Surgical insertion typically will require general anesthesia.

Post Bariatric Surgery Body Contouring: A big business for cosmetic surgeons

admin — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 01:37:17 +0000

What is the most rapidly growing field in the plastic surgery medical sciences? The post bariatric body contour. This rising field of expertise is being driven by the success of the gastric bypass and lap band surgical weight loss procedures. These two surgical techniques accounted for a total of over 104,000 completed procedures in just the United States in the past 3 years. The proliferation of these weight loss surgical procedures has resulted in a very large post surgical population that has lost 100 pounds or more per individual.
While the health benefits of these dramatic weight loss procedures is saving people’s lives who had suffered for years with morbid obesity- the cosmetic damage done to the body done by carrying very large amounts of weight is often difficult to reverse. During the weight gaining process the epidermis has been expanded, while the dermis has been stretched to the point of actually splitting. The result is permanent stretch marks. Upon completion of the weight loss afforded by gastric bypass or lap band surgery, the patient ends up with literally large amounts of loose and hanging skin. This is certainly not attractive and leaves a cosmetic flaw that affects the patients overall outlook on life despite having been successful at losing a large amount of weight.
The result is a growing number of specialized cosmetic physicians, clinics, spas and medical practices that are tailoring their expertise to tummy tucks, body lifts, thigh lifts, breast lifts, arm lifts and face lifts all designed to aid patients who have recently undergone a large weight loss. There is an entire movement of organized plastic surgery and medical companies that are gearing up to reach out and try and capture this growing market segment of their industry. Says Shelly Robertson, ” I had completed my lap-band weight loss but was still very unhappy with the overall look of my body. A body contouring specialist offered me the procedures I needed to satisfactorily meet the goals I had set out for myself when I decided to undergo medical weight loss. I am very pleased with my results.”

Always consult only a licensed medical doctor or similar medical facility before undergoing any medical procedure.

Anna Nicole- the secret breast tape capers ?

Several news wires are reporting that the cosmetic surgeon who taped the late Anna Nicole Smith’s breast augmentation surgery may be attempting to sell the tape to a memorabilia dealer. A judge recently issued a temporary restraining order against the release of the 1994 tape at the request of Howard K. Stern. The surgeon stated that he routinely records surgeries with the patient’s permission and promised to keep the video confidential “during the patient’s lifetime.”

It is actually a very common medical practice for the doctor to take before and after photos of surgery patients, and only use the photos with their consent. It would certainly be unethical for a physician to use this tragedy to make money.

Breast enhancement and your choice of bra during follow up

admin — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:43:16 +0000

Breast enhancement is one easy way to obtain immediate gratification to improve your self-confidence and image. Breast augmentation recovery involves the importance of resting, taking medication, not lifting weights or exercising, use of compression garment, and also the correct bra. However, many people may not understand the importance of finding a post surgery bra that fits properly and gives you the correct amount of support.

Advantages to the Right Post Breast Surgery Bra
The right after breast augmentation bra does not only reduces swelling, but positions the breasts correctly on the chest, shortens recovery time, improves blood circulation, and helps to flush potentially harming body fluid to help maintain beautiful breasts. Alternatively, if you are not wearing suitable garment, you may end up with a backache, thinning skin on your breasts, and or sagging breast, and no women wants that!

Breast Augmentation Recovery Garments

Your bra size and type will vary throughout the healing process. In the beginning of recovery, you want to ensure you have the best support possible with the littlest amount of pain. Your plastic surgeon will advise compression garment. Compression garments assist in minimizing the throbbing sensation, discomfort, and pain. After your first week or so of breast augmentation surgery, another type of support garment may be suggested by your plastic surgeon and the final suggestion might be a sports bra. Sport bras firmly hold the breasts in place providing comfort, with a little less support then a compression garment, but still just enough. Soon enough you will be ready for a no under wire bra with less reinforcement.

Bra Selection for Breast Augmentation Patients is something you should discuss with your breast enhancement physician and post care nurse. Martha Robertson discussed her bra needs with her follow up nurse and found a wealth of information and brochures available.

Selecting the right bra is not always the easiest thing to do after a breast augmentation. However, it is possible. There are many factors that can help you in finding the bra that best fits your new breast augmentation look. When deciding on the right bra, you want to keep in mind not only the band and cup size determine if it is appropriate for you, but also the location of your breasts as they sit in the cup and how they are positioned. Additionally, bras with under wire are not to be worn any sooner then six weeks after your procedure and then on are only to be worn on occasion.

Always consult a licenses physician or similar medical care provider before undergoing any medical procedure.
