A Wrong Site Surgery Victim
2009-08-27 04:20:00 It's a perfect Fall day when I plop down in my doctor's office. She's a nice person that I genuinely like. While young and relatively new in practice, she possesses a healthy confidence combined with a relaxed manner that I both enjoy and respect. This doctor also cares for my three boys who tell me "she has better breath than that other guy". In addition to the admirable quality of better breath, she's someone I'm glad for my boys to know. She is a competent, professional woman who is not their mother. I relax back as she prepares to perform the procedure. We made this appointment a few weeks back after she advised me that it should be done. ...

How Much Is Too Much Plastic Surgery?
2009-07-18 05:43:00 The recent publicity surrounding the death of Michael Jackson has included much discussion about plastic surgery, specifically people who have too much plastic surgery. This does come up with patients. It may even be more prevalent here in Los Angeles than in other parts of the country.Without a doubt, there is such a thing as too much plastic surgery. The key is to understand why someone is looking for a procedure. Is it for reasonable goals, such as seeking Beverly Hills rhinoplasty to smooth a large bump on the nose? Similarly, is it to have a Mommy Makeover to return to that pre-baby shape? These are reasonable goals. They are what we look for in people who have appropriate expectations for procedures.Warning signs of someone having too much plastic surgery, or seeking it for questionable reasons, are when someone says the procedure is for somebody else, to radically change someone's life, or to land that job as the next "Baywatch&...

Hemorrhoids Treatments – Home and Surgery
2009-07-16 09:15:00 Hemorrhoids or Hemroids are painful swellings that occur due to ignored growth of the veins in the anal area. They are commonly referred as piles.

Plastic Surgery for Men
2009-06-06 02:34:00 Plastic surgery for men is an increasingly popular area within our field. In the past, plastic surgery was almost exclusively the domain of women. Sure, there was the occasional man who came in but by and large this was quite rare. No more. We do more plastic surgery for men every month. In fact, our volume of male patients is growing even faster than that for our women.There are several very popular procedures for men. We do a large number of rhinoplasty procedures on male patients. Many of these men also have breathing issues, including snoring which can be corrected with a simultaneous septoplasty. We do a lot of fat removal on male patients, often with large volume liposuction. Not everyone is a candidate for these procedures. You must be in very good health and allow a bit more extended time both for recovery and to see the final results. We often do eyelid surgery to freshen the face. And, of course, we do...

Plastic Surgery on the Upswing -- In Scotland
2009-03-11 19:33:00 I came across this article from Europe, noting the increased plastic surgery volume. This of course is a bit of a surprise, as the economy generally takes its toll on all elective medical procedures. Here is a reprint from the Scotsman newspaper ---IN these times of belt-tightening and cutbacks, you would have thought cosmetic surgeons would be left twiddling their scalpels. But it seems the credit crunch is actually providing an unexpected boost for the industry, with the number of people in Edinburgh undergoing expensive cosmetic surgery – particularly breast enlargements – on the rise.Some experts even believe the hike could be down to a determination to look and feel good in increasingly competitive work environments. The number of Edinburgh women undergoing breast enhancement surgery rocketed by more than 20 per cent last year, according to the Transform Cosmetic Surgery Group, which carried out 324 procedures at its clinic on Great Stuart Stre...

Tree-surgery for atheists
2009-03-07 07:10:00 This article also appeared on the Guardian?s website this week. You can comment on it either there or here.Recently, Colin Blakemore tried to argue that the relentless march of science was leaving precious little room in which religion could survive. He argued that belief in supernatural forces was of a piece with our mistaken belief in freewill. According to Blakemore, both are simply an ?illusion?. I think he is wrong. More than that, I think he believes he is as well, or at the very least, he behaves as if he does.In the course of his argument, Professor Blakemore quoted Pope Benedict XVI when he said, ?If, however, reason?becomes deaf to the great message that comes from the Christian faith and its wisdom, it will wither like a tree whose roots no longer reach the waters that give it life.? Blakemore then trivialises the issue by listing a series of scientists who were not Christians as if that was the Pontiff?s point.Rather, Pope Benedict was highlighting the fact that the bran...

What To Expect After Liposuction Surgery
2009-01-23 08:07:00 What To Expect After Liposuction Surgery was written by Seth Miller from e-liposuction.comAfter the successful surgery, a patient should expect some drainage from the doctor?s incisions. In most cases the drainage is minimal but may last for several days. If the physician suspects the wounds will have excess drainage, he or she may insert a drainage tube or bag to collect any excess fluids and minimize discomfort. The patient will also need to wear special garments, called compression garments, that keep the treated area compressed and tight while in recovery. Most patients will need to wear the garments for several weeks after liposuction. Many surgeons include the garments in the total price of the procedure, otherwise the doctor should inform the patient of the type of garment and where to purchase it.Swelling, bruising, and pain are common complaints in the recovery phase after liposuction. Although these are common, in most liposuction surgeries, patients should not experience ...

There are certain commonalities to all surgical weight loss opoerations, and it is this common ground that I base my arguments on.Anaesthetic ComplicationsMorbidly obese people - the only people who should even consider surgery, are the highest at risk for complications to surgery due to anaesthetic.

Shortly before surgery This past summer we discovered she has hemi-vertebrae, where 50% of one vertebrea is missing. She has been in a great deal of pain. We had an appointment for this morning with an orthopedic surgeon to decide the next move. We arrived at the hotel last night. We took Jessica into the hospital to show here where she was 11 years ago at this time when she had two open heart surgeries and found out one of her main nurses will be on tonight but were disappointed we’d not see her. We went back to our hotel room and got ready for bed. Jessica began having a hard time breathing and her heart was beating very rapidly and hard - which we could see across the room. We thought it might be panic attacks or a reaction to Tylenol PM which she just began taking. We walked ...
What To Expect After Gastric Bypass Surgery
2008-12-12 08:07:00 What To Expect After Gastric Bypass Surgery was written by Eddie Tobey from e-gastricbypasssurgery.comMost- patients recover after gastric bypass surgery without complications. Typically, those who undergo the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure, which involves stapling of the stomach and bypassing the first part of the small intestines, have a hospital stay of two to four days. Other gastric bypass procedures may have shorter or longer recovery times.Aside from common risks associated with surgeries like infection, after gastric bypass surgery, patients must be more sensitive to their nutritional intake. Since the surgery bypasses a portion of the small intestine responsible for much of the body?s nutrient absorption, patients may face problems like lack of iron (anemia), lack of calcium leading to osteoporosis, lack of vitamin B12 and more. With nutritional counseling and supplements, these effects can be lessened greatly.After gastric bypass surgery, there is also the possibility t...
