Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift surgery, is one of the lower profile procedures available from a plastic surgeon, but its effect can be significant. By selectively tightening the skin around the eyes and adjusting fat deposits, your surgeon can reduce or even eliminate those bags and droopy lids that make you tired and older. The eyes are, after all, an important focal point of the face, despite the relatively small real estate they occupy. Even the most subtle changes can make a world of difference. Of course, before you pursue any surgery, cosmetic or otherwise, it’s important to consult with a qualified and conscientious surgeon who can help you make the decision that will truly be right for you.

Demi Moore’s Medical Leeches

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:30:44 +0000

According to Cripes Suzette! and her unusually far out but entertaining website, Death by 1000 Papercuts, actress Demi Moore says the secret to her youthfulness is leech therapy.

No, Demi doesn’t roll around a swamp hoping the wormy little vampires will latch on. Instead, she uses medical leeches to “cleanse and detoxify” her body. Really! (It wasn’t an April Fool’s stunt.) Read more.

In response — and probably to deflect additional comments about any questions at all regarding Hillary Clinton’s plastic surgery — the former leading lady said she doesn’t need any medical leeches because she’s already got two ugly, blood suckers permanently attached to her!

But, hey, we don’t talk politics here! We do evidence-based medicine and plastic surgery. And to enlighten Suzette and the amazed folks at Death by 1000 Papercuts, we bring you this bonefide picture of medical leeches. With an actual medical professional who know how to use them.

Doctor’s Little Helpers
Medical Leeches (scienceinAfrica.com photo)

These creatures actually carry a low yuck factor because they live in sterile conditions and are fed a balanced U.S. FDA approved diet. (Well, balanced for leeches, anyhow.)

In fact, we once carried a story about medical leeches helping plastic surgeons save and reattach a Louisiana woman’s eyelid that had been torn off in a dog attack. Read more.

Oh, and since we do evidence-based medicine, here’s another handy tip. The body already does an excellent job of cleansing and detoxifying itself. Otherwise, you would become very, very sick — if not on death’s doorstep — because you would have what is commonly known as a raging infection. Read more.

Facts about Financing Plastic Surgery/Cosmetic Surgery

editor — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:30:43 +0000

There are a variety of reasons why increasing numbers of people are electing to have plastic surgery. In some cases, they opt having this procedure just from plain vanity but some to more anxiety causing defects; others want to improve their self confidence and their ability to feel better.

Plastic surgery is now part of the modern life. Whether you’re rich, famous or unassuming and modest plastic surgery is financially possible through many plastic surgery financing options. Plastic surgery may be covered by the patient’s medical insurance. However getting a cosmetic surgery may be the procedure that you have to finance yourself using your own money or through loan. But before we look deeper into those options, let’s take a look at what else you should know about financing plastic surgery.

Although there is the option for plastic surgery financing to offset cosmetic surgery cost constraints, depending on the amount of finance needed, not everyone will qualify for loans or a finance repayment package. As a consequence, many need-driven prospective patients may well go down the slippery slope of trying to self finance cheap cosmetic or plastic surgery. But as much as you can, don’t go bargains. This is the worst possible mistake you could ever make. You may be tempted to pick a surgeon who asks for less, cheap surgeons may also have cheap services that may result in more financing plastic surgery problems you would have to pay because of the unwanted or bad results.

The need to carry out due diligence and fully research the consultant surgeon and the clinic’s track record; the length and bread of their experience; and the medical facilities that they have at hand are also important factors to consider because it is better to secure at the outset, the wanted outcome, rather than to risk health complications, not to mention additional expenses corrective cosmetic surgery can incur.

Making budget prior to taking up any projects helps a lot. It helps you to learn hidden costs that some of them can be well avoided with prior information. So before jumping into decision, learn about all the expenses you may expect from the surgery. Be warned that they may also be hidden costs or miscellaneous fees that you may not have asked about and may not be included in offers for financing plastic surgery. The extent of work to be performed, the type of procedure and the region you belong to are some of the factors that affect the cost of plastic surgeries. Doctors and clinics will also therefore have different payment schemes or offer financing plastic surgery.

Some clinic and surgeons will not allow you to present loan or installment plans. Some clinics will even ask for a complete payment before a procedure to secure patient assurance. Be extra careful with this issue. This maybe potentially dangerous though especially if accidents happen.

There are several finance companies and banks that provide options for financing the procedure. Most of them will tell you that they have affordable and flexible rates but the truth is applying for a loan maybe a little more difficult than imagined. Some companies may have higher interest rates than other simply because it is their only security if you are suddenly unable to pay.

Plastic or cosmetic surgery is expensive but it is a good investment. A proper planning and a good research can help you save significantly on the total costs of the procedure without making you tied up to a debt burden for fulfilling your dreams.

Is Breast Augmentation Right For You?

editor — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:30:42 +0000

If you are considering enlarging your breasts with breast augmentation and whatever your reasons for considering breast surgery, you have many factors to consider. If you are unsure if the procedure is right for you, then there are questions that you need to answer, steps and things you need to know more about, so it can easily guide you in your decision of having the surgery.

First and foremost if you are considering the surgery, make sure you consult with a cosmetic surgeon. Look for a doctor who will able to answer all of your questions without pushing you into a decision. You can ask for his or her credentials. Ask this professional to show how your body will look like after the surgery. But normally during the consultation, the doctor will take before and after pictures to determine what he or she will change. During the consultation period, you will also make certain decisions about your implants and surgery.

Another thing to consider if you are seriously thinking about getting a breast augmentation is to be sure if you can make time investment required for a proper recovery after the procedure. You need to be prepared to be rather uncomfortable for some time afterwards. Recovery from breast augmentation can take two to three weeks of bed rest and abstinence from normal activities. Immediately after the surgery, you’ll be bruised and in pain, so you must keep in mind that you might not be up to working for a week or more after surgery.

Are you financially prepared? While the cost of plastic surgery has dropped drastically over the past several years, it can still be a blow to the bank account to get a breast augmentation. Be sure that you can comfortably make payments and have at least a small down payment available, although there are many affordable loan programs to help you finance your dreams, keep in mind that no plastic surgery procedure is worth going into debt.

While everyone hopes their surgery will go smoothly, there are still cases where complications arise, either during or after the surgery. Although it is rare to suffer from complications, it is better to still find out from your surgeons what the risks are in your particular case so you can make an informed decision. Research carefully all risks and complications before submitting to the surgery.

Talk to your family and friends about your desire for implants. These people will have their own opinions and reactions to your breast augmentation. They may support you, while others may strongly oppose your decision. So ask yourself if you are prepared for other people’s reaction. You must be prepared for the possibility of criticisms and negativity by other people.

Before going ahead to the procedure, have a frank conversation with your self. Why are you really undergoing this kind of surgery? List the pros and cons of breast implant surgery. Ultimately, breast augmentation should provide you with some form of peace and contentment with yourself and your self image.

Before making such a big decision, it is important to consider the above points. Breast augmentation end results may seem ideal, but it will be a long process and a big commitment. But it you think you can handle all the obstacles, and then it may be one of the best decisions you can make.

Newport Beach Breast Enhancement

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:30:41 +0000

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast using implants filled with silicone gel or saline, a salt-water solution. Breast implants are inserted behind each breast, either above or below the muscle, depending on the particular patient. Women choose to have breast augmentation surgery for a variety of reasons. Some women wish to enhance their body contour because they feel that their breasts are too small. Other women seek to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy and nursing, or to balance a difference in breast size. The results of breast augmentation can be subtle or dramatic, and depend on a patient’s personal preferences. For many of Dr. Ackerman’s patients, the results of breast augmentation surgery are satisfying and exhilarating.

For women whose bodies are shaped the way popular culture tells us they are supposed to be shaped, it’s probably easy to suggest that we should all be comfortable and happy with our bodies the way they are. Surely, there are examples of those who are not so shaped, and yet seem happy with their figure. At the same time, if someone puts on a few extra pounds, it’s expected that they should do something about that by exercising and bringing themselves back “in shape” because being “out of” shape is undesirable. We do tend to judge one another on our appearances. What about the woman whose breast size is “too small,” and so is treated as being less desirable than the woman with a fuller bust line? Why should she feel marginalized, when she does have options available to her to change the way she looks?

Considering Cosmetic Surgery – Michigan

Plastic Surgery MI – It’s been said that “clothes make the man,” and it’s true to a point. You can argue all you like that the most important thing is what’s on the inside, and you would of course be right, but there’s a difference between not being the most important thing and having no importance whatsoever. It’s axiomatic that when you look better, you feel better. What looks better than what else is a matter of taste, but medical science has recently added quite a lot to what the average American can include in a makeover.

As with clothing, there’s more to your physical appearance than just one or two “most important” parts. There are all kinds of twists that come with surgery, in fact, but that doesn’t make it impossible to sort out priorities. The right surgeon will help you do just that, partly by making certain that you understand all the advantages and disadvantages of any procedure you’re considering. As with what you wear, if you know your priorities and keep them balanced with realistic expectations, elective surgery can be a positive experience.

Plastic Surgery for Pooches

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:25:29 +0000

Yearly, some appearance-challenged canine is named top dog in the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. (Read more.)

Gus, a Chinese Crested, won for 2008 even though he has had a rough row to hoe in life. He has lost one leg to disease, one eye in a cat fight, a handful of teeth due to chewing on countless bones, and a furry coat due to heredity; after all, he is a hairless Chinese crested dog. Gus was simply born to be as ugly as a mud fence.

Nonetheless, his owners think Gus, pictured below, is precious.

2007’s winner was even more revolting. Also a Chinese Crested, Elwood, pictured below, won that year, perhaps because he is even more crested and has even less hair than Gus. You have to admit that when it comes to looks, Elwood is also just a real dog.

A Plastic Surgeon for Dogs

Anyhow, there’s somebody we would like Gus and Elwood to meet — Brazilian doctor Vet Elgado Brito, a big proponent of pet plastic surgery.

To the Brazilian way of thinking, if you make people beautiful, hey, why not make their “animal companions” beautiful, too? Works for me! (As long as the creature is house broken; there’s no way that beauty alone makes up for, well, you’ve got the picture by now.)

Botox and Breast Augmentations

Dr. Brito has used Botox to straighten inverted doggy eyelashes so that Fido’s eyeball is not irritated. Among other cosmetic surgery, the South America doc has even performed canine breast augmentation by tightening mammillae of female dogs before beauty contests so that the dogs could take part in the type of contests in which good looks — and not vile features — are judged. (Read more about Dr. Brito.)

to remove the dog’s wrinkles
but could not afford 1,500 vials of Botox.

But if you look closely enough, others are making unsightly animals more attractive, too.

Rhinoplasty and Eyelid lifts

The Animal Medical Center of Southern California requires a medical reason for cosmetic treatments on animals; nonetheless, the work often results in an eyelift, facelift, rhinoplasty or abdominoplasty, a procedure we Homo Sapiens fondly call a “tummy tuck.” However, liposuction is out, partly because dogs don’t mind being fat.

If your “animal companion” is a Pug, Bulldog or a Boston terrier, breeds in which breathing problems are common, the mutt may be eligible for rhinoplasty. Sharpeis and Chows often have a congenital defect that make their eyelids roll inwards, causing the eye winkers to rub the eye, perhaps resulting in scratches. The solution? A canine style eyelid lift.

Lip Augmentation

And there is the heart-warming case of Feznick, a 75-pound gray kangaroo who lives at a farm for Hollywood animal actors. Feznick was bitten on the face by his neighbor, a wolf and fellow actor when he, Feznick, poked his snout into the next cage. That left the ‘Roo with a snarling lip and totally unsuitable for his close-ups. So, back in 2006, a vet named Dr. Wolff (really!) repaired Feznick’s lip with a little cosmetic surgery described much like the human procedure, “except with a lot more hair.” (Read more.)

This Kangaroo isn’t Feznick (we could not afford
his picture!) but another Kangaroo who is available
for movies and commercials. (His day job is being an
attraction at a petting zoo.)

Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, CA – Choosing Your Surgeon

via drfpalmer.com

Choosing a plastic surgeon is not a thing to take lightly. Though it’s true that some pretty impressive advances have been made in the fields of medicine in general and cosmetic surgery in particular, there remains the minor detail that surgery is no cookie cutter endeavor. Your surgeon should evaluate your current condition and, based on that evaluation, recommend for or against procedures and techniques based on whether he believes they will help you achieve your goals. There’s a lot of room for interpretation, however, and different doctors are likely to give you different recommendations based on their experience, aesthetic taste, and ethics. As with most any situation where very much money changes hands, those who begin their search with their pocketbooks run a higher risk of dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, dissatisfaction with a tummy tuck, face lift, or breast augmentation is a lot harder to rectify than dissatisfaction with your average pair of slacks. A person who makes finding a qualified, experienced physician with whom he or she can be comfortable a top priority stands a much better chance of being satisfied from the start.

Liposuction in Michigan

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:25:26 +0000

Liposuction or suction assisted lipectomy (SAL) is the process of contouring the body through the removal of fat. A long, hollow, blunt, metal canula (tube) is inserted through small incisions and fat is aspirated or removed using a vacuum suction device. This allows sculpting those diet and exercise resistant areas to achieve the figure that you desire. Dr. M Kayser is a Michigan Plastic Surgeon who is Board Certified in Plastic surgery. As a perfectionist, Dr. M Kayser will take all measures necessary to ensure that your results are the best that he can offer.

Liposuction is not a means of weight loss, but it is an effective way to augment results gained through diet and exercise. Since the fat deposits in certain areas of the body–the abdomen, hips, and thighs, for example–can be be reluctant to behave themselves properly, these areas are frequently addressed using this simple surgical procedure. Of course, no surgery is without risk, and it’s important to consult with a properly qualified surgeon before pursuing any such procedure. Doctor M. Kayser is a board certified Michigan plastic surgeon who can help you understand both the risks and benefits of this and other cosmetic procedures for you as an individual.
