A good candidate for plastic surgery:
2007-09-03 07:00:00
Am I a good candidate for surgery?This is one of the most frequently asked questions from people around the globe to surgeons. The answer is just as simple as the question.An irresolute patient is not a good contender for plastic surgery. A patient with unrealistic goals also contributes to not be a good applicant for surgery.People with health problems like diabetes, hypertension, lung disease, heart disease, high cholesterol, arthritis, emphysema don’t generally form good candidates for cosmetic surgery. An emaciated, severely depressed, corpulent or someone who is a chain smoker or heavy drinker does not make a good applicant for surgery.Most plastic and cosmetic surgeons will ask potential patients a sequence of questions upon their original. The idea of asking the questions is to calculate whether the patient is genuinely bearing in mind plastic surgery to look and feel in good health, or if the patient is in quest of plastic surgery as a means of camouflaging emotional suffe...

ENDERMOLOGIE: Banish Cellulite:
2007-08-29 12:04:00
ENDERMOLOGIE has been a specialized procedure for the treatment of cellulite since 1986. Over 100,000 treatments are now performed every day in over 95 countries worldwide. Endermologie treatments are non-invasive and enrich the look of cellulite.Endermologie is a FDA cleared process, developed by LPG, using the Cellu M6 Keymodule machine to temporarily, yet efficiently condense the appearance of cellulite and circumferential body measurements of treated areas.In its original form Endermologie was used to recuperate scars, burns and damaged muscular tissue. The reduction of cellulite and significant inch loss from the body was only a side-effect of Endermologie.The Keymodule's undersized hand-held, motorized treatment, head with specially designed rollers performs the Endermologie treatment. By tenderly lifting and rolling the skin, the Cellu M6 Keymodule stimulates local blood circulation thus dropping surplus fluids. Endermologie also smoothens the surface of the skin.All treatm...

Mentoplasty:
2007-08-29 11:18:00
Chin Surgery or mentoplasty refers to changing the shape of the chin either by adding an implant or by moving part of the bone forward; or by removing part of the bone to improve a profile. A weak chin creates an impression of a larger nose or the appearance of a fleshy neck. Chin augmentation permits patients to generate a profile they find more gratifying, by creating a more defined chin. Chin augmentation surgery crafts an unbiased relationship between the facial structures. Chin augmentation uses synthetics or biologicals to enhance the bone structure. There are two main types of chin augmentation procedures: surgery and injectables. Chin augmentation surgery is executed in order to insert an implant into the tissue on top of the jaw. After surgery for chin augmentation, patients are expected to wear a support brace to allow the tissues and implant to heal properly. There is staining and swelling for the first 5 to 7 days after chin augmentation surgery, and the swelling may sta...

Face & You:
2007-08-27 11:36:00
For several years, it was believed that our face is a single piece of mass which in due course of time gets weighed down by gravity, creating sagging skin.However a recent study shows that our face is made up of 16 different compartments of fat, which age at different levels and at different times. This indicates that as your cheeks begin to sag, the area around your eyes may remain juvenile and spry looking. This has also enabled plastic surgeons to understand that the face stores fat which could lead to more effective anti-aging strategies, better facial reconstruction techniquesThis discovery is changing preceding postulations about the face’s composition, and its implications may reach to better face-lifts & to a new understanding of obesity.Plastic Surgery Institute of California successfully carries out face-lift surgeries like brow lift, Blepharoplasty, Facial Implants, Neck Lift & Rhinoplasty.Plastic Surgery Institute of California keeps a constant update about the latest ...

It is the face that makes you memorable as well as sightable and now there is more.Earlier it was believed that people undergo surgery for improving self-esteem and confidence, having a discomfort either physical or emotional. A recent study says that plastic surgery procedures can act as a natural mood enhancer as well. Research proved that during a survey on 362 patients, including 61 patients (17 percent) who were taking antidepressants at the time of their surgery had dropped by 31 percent, or down to 42 patients, six months after surgery. It has been reported that 98 percent of patients said that plastic surgery had markedly improved their self-esteem.This shows that plastic surgery proves to be an important factor responsible for the decrease in the number of patients requiring antidepressants.The Plastic Surgery Institute of California is wholly committed to the utmost aesthetic triumph in improving our patient’s distinctiveness and guise.Contact us: www.plasticsurgeryinsti...

Plastic surgery is not a black art. It is a scientific procedure, which one undergoes to relieve a physical or emotional discomfort.

A new face of time:
2007-08-13 14:42:00
For hundreds of years, everyone has believed, that the fat on the face is one confluent mass, which eventually gets weighed down by gravity, creating sagging skin. But according to the recent study, the face is made up of individual fat compartments that gain and lose fat at different times and different rates as we age.This theory indeed has given birth to different facial rejuvenation techniques used to control ageing and helps doctors and scientists understand the physiological process of ageing. It also helps doctors understand the accumulation of fats in different areas of the face and allows an appropriate and precise approach to face-lift and rejuvenation theories.Face lift cosmetic surgery is intended to improve your facial appearance and make you look good for your age. Facelift surgery can recover damages on your skin caused with ageing-loosening of the facial skin and creasing of the skin around the nose and mouth.The brow lift can reduce severe wrinkles in the forehead an...

Liposuction is rightly called ‘the battle of the bulge’. Every third person today is troubled by this five-word phrase. Television, newspapers and magazines all the time thrust this information in your face. There are certain people who you can’t blame for the bulge, certain people have fat cell that don’t sink easily despite diet and exercise. Obesity has heredity to blame for this.Liposuction helps remove small bulges that won’t budge and also helps to restore body shape. The areas most commonly treated include the hips, abdomen, thighs and buttocks and face. Liposuction does not remove cellulite, only fat.A good candidate for liposcution should ideally have realistic expectations about the results of this procedure. Good overall health is a must, concentrated pockets of fat do not respond well to diet and exerice.Age is generally not a major consideration when discussing liposuction; however, older patients often have less elasticity in their skin and thus may not achie...

These abnormalities may be due to congenital defects, defects in development, accidents or disease.

LONDON: The number of middle-aged men undergoing cosmetic surgery in the United Kingdom has doubled in just five years as they struggle to come to terms with 'menopaunch', according to a report.Men aged over 50 are spending thousands of pounds and taking weeks off work to have liposuction and other procedures such as eye bag removal (blepharoplasty) in attempts to remove stubborn fat, The Daily Telegraph reported on Monday, quoting a cosmetic surgery company as saying.Figures produced by The Harley Medical Group show that liposuction -- including work done on the abdomen, flanks, chest and chin areas -- accounts for 24 per cent of surgical procedures for 50-something men.This was followed by blepharoplasty (21 per cent), face lifts (14 per cent), rhinoplasty or nose operations (11 per cent), tummy tucks (eight per cent), neck lifts (seven per cent) and ear surgery (two per cent)."We have seen a dramatic increase in the number of 50-something male patients coming into our clinics. ...
