Cómo tomar la decisión
2008-04-24 23:06:00 Claro que tomar la decisión de operarse no es algo que se logre de un día al otro, hay muchas cosas que están en juego: nervios, miedo, excitación, ansiedad y esperanzas, expectativas, sólo por nombrar alguno de los sentimientos. Por eso acá les contamos la historia de una paciente que se animó al cambio, que las ganas de estar mejor le ganaron al miedo. Mirta viajó a Buenos aires y llegó a Plenitas para quitarse insatisfacciones que hacían que no pudiera disfrutar de una vida plena. Hoy, después del cambio puede verse al espejo sin rodeos.?Ya estaba cansada de ir a comprarme ropa y que nada me quedara bien. Siempre volvía a mi casa angustiada y enojada con mi cuerpo. Por mi carrera profesional siempre tengo que estar bien vestida y mucho de esos trajes que debo usar se adhieren al cuerpo y me daba un poco de vergüenza que la ?pancita? saltaba y eso me hacía sentir incomoda conmigo misma. Venia pensando y evaluando la posibilidad de operarme desde hace por lo menos dos años, las g... More About: Tomar
The World of Beauty for Men
2008-04-24 23:03:00 Years ago you wouldn?t have thought of men being concerned about their appearance. Taking care of your body and having cosmetic surgery were only associated with women. Women searching for feeling well, being appealing to others and concerned about their well-being, whereas man?s world revolved only around football games and having a beer with friends. Far from that, nowadays, men, in being more appealing and dealing with aging in the best possible way, are becoming part of the world of grooming and aesthetics. Looking good, looking young and appealing is not only for women, it?s now a world that belongs to both men and women equally.Men taking care of their aesthetics means being willing to feel good, to gain more self-confidence, improve their appearance, feel more attractive and thus being able to achieve a feeling of well-being improving quality life, in both social and work aspects. Anti-age, hair loss treatments, peelings, cosmetic surgeries to improve skin, creams and re... More About: Beauty , World , The World
Buenos Aires through a german's eyes
2008-04-24 20:12:00 What is so appealing about Buenos Aires that millions of people choose it out of the rest of the world as a destination when it comes to enjoying themselves, resting and discovering a place where they will be greeted with wide arms open.According to the survey carried out by the National Secretariat of Tourism of Argentina (SECTUR), virtually nine out of ten tourists who visited Buenos Aries found ?what they were expecting and even more? and considered that quality service improved or remained as good as in previous visits. The report, which covered virtually 800 cases, showed that more than 90% of the respondents said it is likely they come back to the country as a tourist. As we thought it would be ?unethical?, in a matter of speaking, for an Argentinean to promote its own country, we will let a German friend of ours speak for ourselves. We met him in San Martin de los Andes one of the most wonderful places of Patagonia.Marco has traveled to Argentina since 1994. The first places ... More About: Eyes
British go abroad for dental care
2008-03-12 23:36:00 UK: British go abroad for dental care Two new surveys reveal why more people from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland are going abroad for dental care. A dental tourism survey by RevaHealth.com reveals high levels of satisfaction among the thousands of dental tourists questioned. RevaHealth.com is an Internet- based searchable database of over 200 healthcare providers in 30 different countries. Over 20,000 patients have used Dublin based RevaHealth.com since launch in 2007. Patients who had travelled abroad to receive treatment revealed an average satisfaction rating of 84%, along with an average cost saving of £3200, or 60% of the cost of their treatment locally. More than 95% of respondents stated that cost was the main reason why they considered dental tourism in the first place, but when it came to choosing which clinic to visit, quality was the deciding factor. Patients reported wide variations in the amount of the money they saved and in the abilities of certain cli... More About: Dental , Care
Buenos Aires, Paris y sus similitudes ...
2008-03-10 18:37:00 Cuando Gustavo tuvo que diferenciar su Buenos Aires natal con Francia, el país que lo alberga desde hace más de 30 años, donde crecieron sus hijos y supo encontrar un grupo de amigos que le dio la bienvenida, no le fue tan fácil. Quizás alguien pensaría, pero que tendrán en común Buenos Aires con París? Sin embargo, estos dos maravillosos lugares tan alejados en el mundo, comparten más de uno lo que uno imagina. Empezando por el impresionante Río Sena, que divide en dos la capital francesa y donde se puede pasear en barco apreciando los monumentos, es totalmente diferente a la costanera y al Río de la Plata, pero igualmente emocionante por su encanto porteño tan particular. Recorrer los barrios parisinos típicos, como Montmartre, es tan conmovedor como andar por la Boca, San Telmo, Recoleta, por nombrar sólo algunos de los barrios característicos de Buenos Aires. A su vez, París es una de las ciudades más y mejor iluminadas del mundo. La torre Eiffel le da una fi... More About: Paris
Nowadays' 40s aren't what they used to be
2008-03-07 16:17:00 Nowadays? 40s aren?t what they used to be. Progress made in science and thought, and the globalization boom have done away with the stereotypes and taboos which used to constrain women and men, and now women and men alike may face the new millennium with a more liberal and open mind. The idea that a woman who is a mother may neglect her appearance and stop feeling attractive and that a 50-year old man must already have a defined path and can only but regret everything he didn?t do as a ?young? man has been left behind. Quite the contrary, nowadays what prevails is the desire to innovate no matter the age, feeling happy and satisfied with ourselves at both spiritual and aesthetic level, and the desire to accomplish what we didn?t dare when younger because of fear or inexperience. The change actually lies in the mindset, the way of thinking, and moving, and it is great to be able to reflect and make this youthfulness we feel deep inside visible in our body, no matter our age.

When looks limit your life
2008-01-04 13:03:00 When looks limit your life Everyone says that the best time of your life is when you go to high school; I could not understand the meaning of such statement that, until today, revolves around my head. Ironically, that was my worst stage, I wanted to lock myself in a room and never get out, at least until my acne was gone. It is a complicated stage passing from childhood to the ever-feared teenage world, and everything that it implies: hormonal changes, first heartbreaks?turning into a woman. There I was, with my pimples and my hormones fighting to come out without knowing where to go.   ;   ; ?Any home-made remedy and even my own recipes were good to treat my pimples.

Interiew: Adult movies star
2007-12-18 14:43:00 Fernando 32 years old Porn star The reason why I decided to undergo a peneplasty was purely personal appearance; I work in the adult entertainment industry where size does matter. The way my penis looks is what sells best in this industry. Although I was average size and never had any size-related problem I thought that a few more centimeters could contribute to my career and it really helped a lot, everything turned out as planned. Two years after my first surgery I came back to Argentina, since Plenitas professionals assured me that with a second surgery my penis could grow even more in size and thickness. As a lover of my career I came back for a second surgery. Now I do can say I?m satisfied. I watch my movies and pictures and I see what I always wanted to see, I?m proud of myself because now I do think that I meet my objective. I?m one of those people who think that you can?t win the audience over with 20 centimeters when it comes to XXX movies. The two basic and indispensable... More About: Movies , Star , Adult
Laughing Therapy
2007-12-14 20:25:00 ?A day without a laugh is a wasted day? said one of the most well-known humorists himself, the unforgettable Charles Chaplin, who knew very well what he was talking about. Would you believe your doctor if he/she told you that laughter can improve your quality of life: release stress, diminish anguish and insomnia? Reduce cholesterol, oxygenate your blood, cut anxiety, strengthen your heart, and now and then, even if for short periods of time, leave your mind free of the daily problems that this ever rushing global world brings.   ; Even if it is hard to believe, with only three laughs a day, you can enjoy these free beneficial effects that have neither restrictions nor side effects. In laughing you release endorphins, which are the hormones responsible for diminishing pain and constitute a kind of natural drug that circulates through your body.

2007-12-14 20:13:00 You?d better be in good company! Whenever you have the chance to travel somewhere, you think, first of all, about where you want to go; and almost immediately, you think with whom. However, there are people who get a headache from only having to choose a traveling partner and are clueless about who to choose. Sometimes we think about the ideal place based on the person who we always wanted to travel with, but other times it is the other way around, you look for a suitable partner for the place you?ve already chosen. Well, you have to be prepared, if you don?t take into account certain important details you might regret having chosen that person, who can even spoil your travel. You will probably disagree with him/her on what to do, you both may not have the same pace and so you have to be always waiting for him/her or hurrying him/her up, well?let?s not dig up that much into what may happen, on the contrary, in order to avoid all these issues let?s mention some prospects to bear in...

Fertilización asistida: No hay que dejar venverse
2007-12-06 13:52:00 JULIA Y MARCELO FUERON PAPÁS DESPUÉS DE CUATRO AÑOS DE INTENTOS No hay que dejar vencerse Cuando la angustia y la desesperación hacen creer que todas las puertas se han cerrado, el avance de la ciencia y la medicina brinda posibilidades para seguir luchando y mantener viva la esperanza. Julia siempre soñó con formar una familia: hijos frutos de un amor verdadero, con una mamá y un papá presente que les pudieran brindar una buena educación, afecto, estabilidad económica, contención. Le costó, pero lo logró: la fuerza interior, la mente en positivo, el no bajar los brazos ante cada desilusión, el apoyo incondicional de su marido fueron pilares fundamentales para enfrentar el sinuoso camino que tuvo que transitar. Hoy responde orgullosa a las vocecitas de sus dos hijos cuando la llaman mamá. El reloj biológico marcaba que ya era la hora límite: Julia conoció a los 40 años a Marcelo, quien para ella, reflejaba todo lo un hombre tiene que tener pa...
Rinoplastia: Cuando una cirugía cambia la vida

Empecé a acomplejarme a los 14 años cuando empecé a salir con amigas. Me arreglaba, me vestía con lo más lindo y en el momento que me miraba al espejo, me veía tan horrenda que prefería esconderme, inventaba excusas y me quedaba aislada en mi cuarto, llorando sin decir porqué. Me la pasaba mirando fotos mías y comparándome con los demás. ¿Por qué a mí?, me preguntaba todo el tiempo. En el colegio todos se burlaban de mí, sentía que nunca iba a poder gustarle a nadie con esa nariz. Llegaron mis 15 años y mis papás me dieron a elegir entre una fiesta o un viaje a Disney. Ninguna de las dos opciones me convencían: en la fiesta yo sería el centro de atención y todas las miradas se dirigirían hacia mí; ... More About: Vida
An english girl in Buenos Aires. Reflections on a great journey
2007-11-29 21:21:00 Well, after 10 weeks of working at Plenitas, my time in Buenos Aires is coming to an end. It has been many things, nearly all of them positive, and the majority very positive. It's been good folks, but here's a round up of the bits that stand out: Best thing: The people. full stop. Argentinians are warm, friendly and welcoming. The culture is very open: people kiss on the cheek when they meet, and there is a lot more general contact between people. Strangers are happy to see you and want to talk to you. When I first arrived I was struck by, and even disappointed by the lack of ethnic variety in the people. However, in some way, Buenos Aires is better off for this. Though London is enriched by being a fully cosmopolitan city, it also suffers from the 'not another darn foreigner' attitude. Here, people woth different coloured skin stand out, and the locals want to know where you are from, what you are doing in Buenos aires, an...

An english girl in Buenos Aires Part III
2007-11-29 21:18:00 5th November It's so odd to be reading emails from my friends in England, Halloween and bonfire night have both passed by now back home, events which normally mark the end of balmy autumn days and the start of cold crisp frosts and dark afternoons, winter is just around the corner. However, here, on the other side of the world the days are getting longer, the sun is getting stronger and everyone is starting to pick up a bit of colour in their skin. One of the nicest things about warm climates is that it forces people to come outside and come together, away from our houses with closed doors and windows, out into the parks and squares. It has also meant that I have had the chance to experience a typical Argentinian 'asado'. An asado is basically, a barbeque, and like most social occasions it is centred around food.

2007-11-19 20:19:00 DOES A CAR AND PENIS SIZE REPRESENT MANHOOD TO MEN? It doesn?t matter whether you are Aries or Gemini, if you where born on a Friday 13, if you are unpunctual, if you can?t control your desire for your friends? wives, if on a first date you take a girl out to the cheapest place or if you have so many girl-names on your phonebook that you end up calling everyone by ?sweetheart? so that you don?t mix them up. It seems that in this globalize world the only thing that matters is how much you got and how big it is what you got. Far from being a myth, men feel represented by his penis, despite that it has been scientifically proven that manly and fertility are not at all related to penis size. Regular penis size is between 11cm and 19 cm while erect. This is no news to anyone; however, there are men that even knowing that they are among the average have a distorted vision of the real size of their penis. In these cases, it is necessary to treat the patie...
An English girl in Buenos Aires - Part III (the diary begins...)
2007-11-02 20:13:00 29/10/07 Yesterday was the Presidential Election day in Argentina, which caused much more of an impact here than it ever does back in the UK. Firstly, voting is compulsory, which means that everybody has to at least show up to the polling station. Secondly, in a country that suffered from a rapid and dramatic currency devaluation just 6 years ago, the people can't afford to be passive at election time. All the local radio and TV stations were full of election coverage and you could hear people in streets and cafes discussing what they thought of the different candidates. This morning, it was confirmed that Cristina Kirchner, the wife of the present president had won, which came as no surprise as she has consistently been leading in opinion polls over the last few months. We'll have to wait and see to be sure but everyone is assuming that her leadership will probably follow along similar lines to those of her husband before her. Reading ...

Bargain nip and tuck draws tourists to South America.(Reuters)
2007-10-31 16:32:00 By Katie Paul BUENOS AIRES (Reuters ) - Canadian lobster and tuna fisherman Everett Condon had never traveled further south than the United States until this year, when he spent his off-season going to tango shows and getting plastic surgery in Argentina. Like thousands of others, mostly from the United States, Europe, and Canada, Condon was drawn to South America 's attractive exchange rates and reputable doctors who are highly skilled due to a local rage for cosmetic surgery. The 66-year-old signed up online for a face-lift, eye-lift, and chest reduction through the flashy Web site of a Buenos Aires medical tourism company. "I've been thinking of this for a long time, but it's a lot more expensive in my country," said Condon, who had a nose job back home and then started looked for cheaper options to make himself look younger. The Buenos Aires boob-job boom began after a 2002 financial collapse and currency devaluation made visiting the country cheaper. Since then, companies have...

An english girl in Buenos Aires part II
2007-10-24 15:04:00 22nd October 2007 Buenos Aires has finally woken up to spring! And the prima-vera has brought us warm sunny days, blue skies a light refreshing breeze - exactly the sort of weather I was dreaming about back in England before I left. The Plenitas offices are in Belgrano, a prosperous, mostly residential area in the north of the capital. It is a lovely place to be in the sunshine and perfect for a quick stroll at lunch times, I can peer into the gardens of the more prosperous Portenos' homes if I want a break from the office. The sunny weather has also introduced me to another great foody item here - and that is ice cream, or helado as they call it. The city is full of 'heladerias' which make their own icecream on site, and you can choose any combination of flavours,with a huge variety of toppings, from fresh fruit to indulgent but delicious pure melted chocolate. The actual icecream though, is delicious, very different from the European and American icecream brands I am used to.... More About: English , Girl , Part

2007-10-24 14:56:00 My experience of Buenos Aires : An English girl in a strange city! For a foreigner, Buenos Aires is an incredibly easy place to live. the Capital Federal (equivalent to zones one-three in london i suppose) is considered BA proper, and is served by a subte with 5 different lines. I happen to live 5 minutes from a station that takes me to the 'Microcentro' in about 15 minutes. Then there is this incredible network of buses that serves the whole city 24/7. I have no idea what the bus timetables are like but from any given stop I can normally catch any of a number of different buses and I have never had to wait more than 10minutes, even at 5 in the morning. The city is (almost) a perfect grid, which means it's very hard to get lost, and you can tell where you are at any street corner just by looking at the street signs. The only problem with this is that, like yesterday, you might cleverly find a bus that goes to your road, but, when you look at the numbers you realise it is your road... More About: Girl , Part
