Wednesday, February 25
International superstar Chow Yun Fat revealed undergoing plastic surgery 20 years ago after spotting signs of residing hair line and sagging skin at the corner of his eyes.

Chow was in Korea promoting his new movie "Dragonball" when he surprised the public by saying, "Since the year I made 'God of Gamblers', I realized the skin at the corner of my eyes were sagging and my hairline was residing. A Hong Kong doctor recommended a plastic surgeon who charged reasonably and then I started doing the treatments." That happened almost 20 years ago when he was only 33-years-old.

Chow was so engaged in the topic, he told the Korean host, "I can recommend a doctor to you if you would like to come to Hong Kong for a plastic surgery. You will definitely get a good job done for a reasonable price!" He said he went through plastic surgery for the audience "because they are my boss!"

In fact, many male artistes have undergone radio frequency resurfacing and intense pulse light treatments, one of whom includes Harlem Yu, to retain their youth

The A-List Surgery Must-Haves

From Grazia Magazine, April 2006

Hollywood’s annual cosmetic surgery survey of the swanky Beverly Hills Institute’s clients lists the top six most-requested A-list features in Hollywood’s operating theatres. “The list used to be dominated by classic beauties ? Catherine Zeta-Jones, Julia Roberts and Halle Berry ? but this year’s list is full of new talent, including Sienna Miller and Eva Longoria,” says Dr. Richard W. Fleming.

Most Wanted Cheeks: Naomi Watts Old trend: Solid cheek implants — a big operation and costly. Now: Adding volume with injections is quick, reverses the downward slide of time, and brings out your eyes.

Most Wanted Eyes: Sienna Miller Old trend: An overdone rabbit-in-the-headlights look. Now: “The most desired eyes are Sienna Miller’s, i.e., more voluptuous with heavier lids.”

Most Wanted Nose: Jessica Alba Old trend: A teeny ski slope. Now: Noses are stronger with less flesh and bone removed. “The ideal is that nobody can tell you’ve had your nose done,” says Dr. Fleming.

Most Wanted Lips: Scarlett Johansson Old trend: Big Now: As full and as pouty as possible. “Surgeons have to be careful we don’t make the pout too big, otherwise it doesn’t look natural,” says Dr. Fleming.

Most Wanted Breast: Eva Longoria Old trend: A Pammie DD. Now: “A respectable C cup. Clients are asking for breasts that go with the new, slimmer Eva Longoria body look that’s popular now,” says Dr. Fleming.

Most Wanted Jaw: Keira Knightley Old trend: There was less focus on the jaw line. Now: Strong, angular sculpted jaw, with lots more people requesting chin implants and neck liposuction.

Labiaplasty - Vaginoplasty (Tightening of Vagina)

2008-08-29T21:47:00.002+08:00

Cosmetic Labiaplasty involves surgically reducing and/or reshaping the female external genital structures. There are multiple reasons more and more women are requesting this procedure. They want to alleviate discomfort caused by large and/or thick labia, which often interfere with biking, working out, wearing tight fitting clothes. Or many women want to enhance or improve appearance of “butterfly” or asymmetrical labia. Feeling good about how you look often builds self-confidence and self-esteem.

During your labiaplasty consultation, your doctor will explain how long the labia reduction surgery will take, the amount of time and care necessary for a full labiaplasty recovery, and exactly when after surgery it would be safe to resume sexual intercourse.

Vaginoplasty (rejuvenation of the vagina) involves “tightening” and rebuilding of the vaginal muscles and the perineum. Childbirth, (especially multiple), aging, and genetic factors often cause the vaginal muscles to loosen, tear, and weaken. The diameter of the vagina gets bigger and there is a loss of feeling (and pleasure). Vaginoplasty returns the vagina to “pre-pregnancy” state and recreates sexual excitement and pleasure for the woman (and the man)! Some doctors use a laser for vaginoplasty and or labiaplasty surgery. You may hear varaitions of terms such as: labiaplasty or laser labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation and vaginoplasty or laser vaginoplasty or vaginal tightening. The difference is that some doctors are trained to use the laser for cosmetic vaginal surgery and reconstructive vaginal surgery and some use a scalpel.

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?

2008-08-18T19:58:00.002+08:00

BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used for smoothing of the skin around the eyes,noses and faces. It is an alternative to surgery.It reduces horizontal creases in forehead, reduces frown lines and minimizes the looks of crows' feet or smile lines around the eyes.
How skin ages and wrinkles is a complex process. There are many causes that can contribute to having such unwanted shik. The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. If you're angry or annoyed, for example, you knit your brows together. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you're frowning. After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent.
Taken mainly from Dr. Valentin's clinic.

What exactly is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Results may vary.

BOTOX is introduced into the muscles and relaxes the tiny facial muscles that cause expression lines, leaving the overlying skin smooth and unwrinkled. BOTOX works on the specific areas treated. Other muscles like those used to raise the eyebrows are not affected so a natural expression is maintained and soften the looks. After the injection, it takes 2-3 days to see the dramatic changes and around 7 days to see the full effect. The treatment will last around six to nine months, the result will fade away slowly and expression lines slowly return. After 2-3 years of repeated treatment it will gradually require less frequent treatment in the future to maintain the results. Those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows form over time as the result of muscle activity. BOTOX is injected directly into the muscles between your brows. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form.

Victoria Beckham Admits having breast surgery

2008-08-10T14:36:00.002+08:00

Victoria Posh Beckham may have finally admitted to having breast implants. She has denied many times when asked whether she had breast augmentation. Look at the pictures above and one can conclude that Victoria did have breast surgery to enhance her looks.

Breast Augmentation Breast Reduction (Augmentation Mammaplasty)

2008-08-10T14:25:00.002+08:00

Big heavy breasts may cause a woman to have medical problems with posture, skeletal deformities, back and neck pain and the sorts.
Breast reduction is a surgery that removes fat, glandular tissue, and excessive skin and gives the patient a more proportionate and well rounded breasts.

Lap Band or Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery

2008-07-17T11:02:00.003+08:00

The surgeon will make a small gastric bag in the the LAP-BAND surgery.It will restrict the amount of food the stomach will hold at any one time. The inflatable ring controls the flow of food from this smaller pouch or bag to the rest of the digestive tract. The patient will feel full with even with a small amount of food. Because of the slow emptying, the patient will continue to feel full for many hours reducing the temptation to eat between meals or large meals.

Rhinoplasty and breast augmentation and how they performed.

2008-07-01T12:27:00.001+08:00

Rhinoplasty is a complex art. For the nose, form and function are closely interrelated.The Natural Rhinoplasty emphasizes your positive features, subtracts the negative aspects, and restores harmony in your appearance without the obvious look of surgery. Each nose is a unique sculpture

Revision Rhonoplasty:
Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to repair both form and function of a nose that has previously been operated on. Many people have difficult breathing from their nose or are dissatisfied with the cosmetic appearance of their nose as a result of prior nasal surgery.Revision rhinoplasty is a nose operation carried out to correct or revise an unsatisfactory outcome from a previous rhinoplasty. It is also known as secondary rhinoplasty. Occasionally there can be a third or even more surgeries. An unsatisfactory outcome occurs from 5 to 20% of rhinoplasties. There are two main reasons for performing secondary rhinoplasty. The first is purely cosmetic. A patient may be unsatisfied with all or part of a previous "nose job”. A nasal fracture may not have been reduced enough, or too much. A prominent or bulbous nasal tip may have not been addressed appropriately, or over-aggressively. The nose may looked pinched, it may look like a parrot’s beak, or like a boxer’s nose. There are many ways in which previous nose surgery may have left a nose aesthetically unappealing to a patient. The second reason is functional. The original nasal surgery may have been carried out to help with difficulties in breathing, and the outcome may have been unsatisfactory. Alternatively, the original surgery may have been performed for cosmetic reasons, but may have disrupted a normal physiologic mechanism involving the inspiration or expiration of air, making it difficult to breathe. Secondary rhinoplasty, and especially tertiary rhinoplasty, are extremely complicated procedures. This is self-evident because it is clear that even when the patient was operated upon for the first time, even when the tissues were “virginal,” and untouched the desired result could not be obtained.

How rhinoplasty is performed:

It can be performed under a general anesthetic or with local anesthetic. Incisions are made inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty). Sometimes, a tiny, inconspicuous incision is also made across the columella, the bit of skin that separates the nostrils (open rhinoplasty). The surgeon first separates soft tissues of the nose from the underlying structures, then reshapes the cartilage and bone. This is not a particularily painful procedure. Most people remain at home for a week. If there are external sutures, they are removed 4 to 5 days after surgery. The external cast is removed at one week. If there are internal stents, they are usually removed at one to two weeks. The periorbital brusing lasts two weeks. The swelling subsided over several months, the majority in the first one or two. Due to wound healing, there are minor and subtle shifting and settling of the nose over the first year.

In some cases, the surgeon may shape a small piece of the patient's own cartilage or bone to strengthen or change the structure of the nose. Usually the cartilage is harvested from the septum although if there isn't enough which can often occur in revision rhinoplasty, cartilage can be taken from the concha of the ear or rarely the ribs. In the rare case, again usually revision rhinoplasty, where bone is required, it is harvested from the cranium or ribs. Sometimes a synthetic implant may be used to reconstruct the nose. This is most common when agmenting the bridge of asian noses.

To improve nasal breathing function, a septoplasty may also be performed. If there is turbinate hypertrophy, an inferior turbinectomy can be done.

There are several complications that can arise in rhinoplasty, although it is usually considered to be safe and sucessful. Post operative bleeding is uncommon and often resolves without needing treatment. Infection is rare and can occassionally progress to an abscess that requires surgical drainage under general anesthetic. Adhesions, which are scars that form to bridge across the nasal cavity from the septum to the turbinates, are also rare but cause nasal obstruction to breathing and usually need to be cut away. A hole can be inadvertently made at the time of surgery in the septum, called a septal perforation. This can cause chronic nose bleeding, crusting, difficult breathing and whistling with breathing. If too much of the underlying structure of the nose (cartilage and/or bone) is removed, this can cause the overlying nasal skin to have little shape resulting in a 'polly beak' deformity. Likewise if the septum is not supported, the bridge of the nose can sink resulting in a "saddle nose" deformity. The tip of the nose can be over rotated causing the nostrils to be too visible and creating a 'miss piggy' look. If the cartilages of the tip of the nose are over resected, this can cause a pinched look to the tip. If an incision is made across the collumella (open approach rhinoplasty) there can be variable degree of numbness to the nose that may take months to resolve.

The cost of rhinoplasty varys regionally and between surgeons. If it is for functional reasons, like breathing correction, it can be covered by many health plans. For example in 2006, Ontario Canada the provincal health insurance carrier paid $480, while the cost for cosmetic rhinoplasty varied between $1000 to 10,000.

Ectropion or out-turning of eyelid

2008-07-01T12:13:00.003+08:00

The out-turning of the eyelid which would usually happen to the lower one is called Ectropion. Redness of the eye and eyelid,irritation,swelling could lead to this condition. The lower eyelid is usually pressed flush against the eye and keeps the eye bathed in lubricating tears. When the eyelid sags away, so do the tears, and the eye can become severely dry. Tearing occurs if the opening in the eyelid which drains tears away becomes separated from the eye. Thus, tears have no way to drain away except onto the face. Dryness of the cornea can lead to a scratchy sensation, redness of the eye, pain, and blurred vision. Sometimes the cornea can become infected.
Most of the time, ectropion occurs along with the general aging changes in the skin. The lower eyelid can become looser, and eventually pull away from the eye by gravity. Bell's Palsy, or a temporary paralysis of the side of the face, can suddenly make these normal aging changes much worse, and the eye can become severely dry due to ectropion. Other conditions lead to scarring of the skin under the eyelid, which pulls the eyelid away from the eye.

Treatment of ectropion in some cases is merely to lubricate the eye as best as possible, with artificial tears during the day and ointment at night. In more severe cases, or if the cornea is at risk due to severe dryness, the eyelid out-turning can be corrected surgically under local anesthesia.

Botox

2008-06-29T10:20:00.002+08:00

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is one of the most poisonous naturally occurring substances in the world, and it is the most toxic protein.[1] Though it is highly toxic, it is used in minute doses both to treat painful muscle spasms, and as a cosmetic treatment in some parts of the world. It is sold commercially under the brand names Botox, Dysport, and Myobloc for this purpose. The terms Botox, Dysport, and Myobloc are trade names and are not used generically to describe the neurotoxins produced by C. botulinum. Doctors use it to :

Temporary removal of facial wrinkles
Severe underarm sweating
Cervical dystonia - a neurological disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder muscle contractions
Blepharospasm - uncontrollable blinking
Strabismus - misaligned eyes
Botox injections work by weakening or paralyzing certain muscles or by blocking certain nerves. The effects last about three to four months. Side effects can include pain at the injection site, flu-like symptoms, headache and upset stomach. Injections in the face may also cause temporary drooping eyelids. You should not use Botox if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

Plastic surgery,history etc etc.

2008-06-16T15:10:00.002+08:00

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty interested in the correction of form and function. While famous for aesthetic surgery, plastic surgery also includes a variety of fields: craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, burn surgery, microsurgery, and pediatric surgery. The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic

History

Plastic surgery reaches back to the 700s BCE. Physicians in ancient India including Sushruta were making use of skin grafts for reconstructive work as early as the 8th century BC. In his work Sushruta Samhita describes rhinoplasty and otoplasty. This knowledge of plastic surgery existed in India up to the late 18th century as can be seen from the reports published in Gentleman's Magazine (October 1794).

The Romans were able to perform simple techniques such as repairing damaged ears from around the 1st century BC. Due to religious reasons they didn't approve of the dissection of both human beings and animals, thus their knowledge was based in its entirety on the texts of their Greek predecessors. Notwithstanding this Aulus Cornelius Celsus has left some surprisingly accurate anatomical descriptions, some of which —for instance, his studies on the genitalia and the skeleton— are of special interest to plastic surgery.

In 1465, Sabuncuoglu's book, description, and classification of hypospadias was more informative and up to date. Localization of urethral meatus was described in detail. Sabuncuoglu also detailed the description and classification of ambiguous genitalia (Kitabul Cerrahiye-i Ilhaniye -Cerrahname-Tip Tarihi Enstitüsü, Istanbul)[citation needed] In mid-15th century Europe, Heinrich von Pfolspeundt described a process "to make a new nose for one who lacks it entirely, and the dogs have devoured it" by removing skin from the back of the arm and suturing it in place. However, because of the dangers associated with surgery in any form, especially that involving the head or face, it was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that such surgery became commonplace.

Up until the techniques of anesthesia became established, all surgery on healthy tissues involved great pain. Infection from surgery was reduced once sterile technique and disinfectants were introduced. The invention and use of antibiotics beginning with sulfa drugs and penicillin was another step in making elective surgery possible.

In 1791, Chopart performed operative procedure on a lip using a flap from the neck. In 1814, Joseph Carpue successfully performed operative procedure on a British military officer who had lost his nose to the toxic effects of mercury treatments. In 1818, German surgeon Carl Ferdinand von Graefe published his major work entitled Rhinoplastik. Von Graefe modified the Italian method using a free skin graft from the arm instead of the original delayed pedicle flap. In 1845, Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach wrote a comprehensive text on rhinoplasty, entitled Operative Chirurgie, and introduced the concept of reoperation to improve the cosmetic appearance of the reconstructed nose. In 1891, American otorhinolaryngologist John Roe presented an example of his work, a young woman on whom he reduced a dorsal nasal hump for cosmetic indications. In 1892, Robert Weir experimented unsuccessfully with xenografts (duck sternum) in the reconstruction of sunken noses. In 1896, James Israel, a urological surgeon from Germany, and In 1889 George Monks of the United States each described the successful use of heterogeneous free-bone grafting to reconstruct saddle nose defects. In 1898, Jacques Joseph, the German orthopaedic-trained surgeon, published his first account of reduction rhinoplasty. In 1928, Jacques Joseph published Nasenplastik und Sonstige Gesichtsplastik.

The U.S.'s first plastic surgeon was Dr. John Peter Mettauer. In 1827, he performed the first cleft palate operation with instruments that he designed himself. The New Zealander Sir Harold Gillies, an otolaryngologist, developed many of the techniques of modern plastic surgery in caring for those who suffered facial injuries in World War I. His work was expanded upon during World War II by one of his former students and cousin, Archibald McIndoe, who pioneered treatments for RAF aircrew suffering from severe burns. McIndoe's radical, experimental treatments, lead to the formation of the Guinea Pig Club. Plastic surgery as a specialty evolved tremendously during the 20th Century in the United States. One of the founders of the specialty, Dr. Vilray Blair, was the first chief of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. In one of his many areas of clinical expertise, Blair treated World War I soldiers with complex maxillofacial injuries, and his paper on “Reconstructive Surgery of the Face” set the standard for craniofacial reconstruction. He was also one of the first surgeons without a dental background to be elected to the American Association of Oral and Plastic Surgery (later the organizations split to be renamed the American Association of Plastic Surgeons and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons) and taught many surgeons who became leaders in the field of plastic surgery

Demi Moore - $600,000 on Plastic Surgery?!
ABC Chicago

Demi Moore reports having some "$600,000 worth of plastic surgery. That includes breast implants, collagen injections, liposuction and a $12,000 procedure to lift sagging skin around her knees."

She pays much more than the average patient at Beverly Hills prices, but it is still pretty amazing.

Surgery of the skin :Skin biopsy

2008-06-14T17:47:00.001+08:00

Surgery of the skin is usually performed by dermatologists or skin specialists plastic surgeons. In most situations, local anaesthesia is used. Types of skin surgery include:

Skin biopsy
Excision of skin lesions
Curettage & cautery
Skin grafting
Mohs microscopically (for difficult skin cancers)
Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen)

Why do you need to have a skin biopsy?
Skin biopsies are performed to help with the diagnosis of your skin condition.
There are two situations in which this usually occurs:
To find out the different types of rashes or skin lesions. Skin biopsy could provide some information in this process.
If you are a suspect of skin cancer, biopsy is taken to confirm that the skin cancer is present. The biopsy may also give the dermatologists information on the types of skin cancer you are having and then would prescrible the best possible types of treatment.

JANET JARMAN/CONTACT PRESS IMAGES FOR TIME
Tokyo's Kimura revels in a night out on the town after her eyelid, chin and nose surgery

At 18, Saeko Kimura was a shy, sleepy-eyed university student. Until she discovered a secret weapon: if she applied a strip of glue to her eyelids, her eyes became wider, rounder, prettier. "Men noticed me," she says. "I became outgoing. Suddenly, I had a life." Her new looks also landed her part-time work as a hostess in an upmarket bar, where she gets top dollar on a pay scale determined by beauty.

But Kimura lived in fear of discovery, rushing off to the bathroom several times a day to reapply the glue and never daring to visit the beach. And so, at 21, she finds herself in a doctor's office in a Tokyo high-rise, lying on an operating table with her fists nervously clenched. Plastic surgeon Katsuya Takasu breezes in wielding a cartoonishly enormous needle. "This will hurt a little," he says cheerfully. Once the anesthetic is administered, Takasu brandishes another, hooked needle and threads it through Kimura's upper eyelids, creating a permanent crease. He then injects a filler fluid called hyaluronic acid into her nose and chin and pinches them into shape. Takasu inspects his handiwork. "The swelling will go down in a few days," he says. "But even if you went out tonight in Roppongi, you'd be a hit." A nurse hands Kimura a mirror. Though red and puffy, she now has the face she's always dreamed of: big, round eyes, a tall nose, a defined chin. The entire procedure took less than 10 minutes. But Kimura collapses with an ice pack on her face and moans, "Oh, the pain."

What we won't do for beauty. Around Asia, women—and increasingly, men—are nipping and tucking, sucking and suturing, injecting and implanting, all in the quest for better looks. In the past, Asia had lagged behind the West in catching the plastic surgery wave, held back by cultural hang-ups, arrested medical skills and a poorer consumer base. But cosmetic surgery is now booming throughout Asia like never before. In Taiwan, a million procedures were performed last year, double the number from five years ago. In Korea, surgeons estimate that at least one in 10 adults have received some form of surgical upgrade and even tots have their eyelids done. The government of Thailand has taken to hawking plastic surgery tours. In Japan, noninvasive procedures dubbed "petite surgery" have set off such a rage that top clinics are raking in $100 million a year.

Elsewhere in Asia, this explosion of personal re-engineering is harder to document, because for every skilled and legitimate surgeon there seethes a swarm of shady pretenders. Indonesia, for instance, boasts only 43 licensed plastic surgeons for a population of about 230 million; yet an estimated 400 illicit procedures are performed each week in the capital alone. In Shenzhen, the Chinese boomtown, thousands of unlicensed "beauty-science centers" lure hordes of upwardly mobile patients, looking to buy a new pair of eyes or a new nose as the perfect accessory to their new cars and new clothes.

The results are often disastrous. In China alone, over 200,000 lawsuits were filed in the past decade against cosmetic surgery practitioners, according to the China Quality Daily, an official consumer protection newspaper. The dangers are greatest in places like Shenzhen that specialize in cut-price procedures. "Any Tom, Dick or Harry with a piece of paper—genuine or not—can practice over there," says Dr. Philip Hsieh, a Hong Kong-based plastic surgeon. "They use things that have not been approved, just for a quick buck. And people in China don't know that they're subjecting themselves to this kind of risk."

Of course, Asians have always suffered for beauty. Consider the ancient practice of foot binding in China, or the stacked, brass coils used to distend the necks of Karen women. In fact, some of the earliest records of reconstructive plastic surgery come from sixth century India: the Hindu medical chronicle Susruta Samhita describes how noses were recreated after being chopped off as punishment for adultery.

Liposuction

2008-06-10T19:11:00.003+08:00

Before

After
Liposuction may be termed in a variety of ways to describe the procedure designed to remove localized fat in one or more areas of the body, including abdominal liposuction (stomach liposuction), face liposuction (chin liposuction and cheek liposuction), neck liposuction, as well as liposuction of the thighs and arms.

Most people who choose liposuction are women, but male liposuction has become more and more popular in recent years.

The Liposuction Procedure
This plastic surgery procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, but in some cases, local anesthesia. The decision for which type of anesthesia to use involves both you and your doctor and takes into account how much time the surgery takes. Time in surgery varies, depending on the size of the area being treated, but it is usually less than an hour. However, many people choose to treat multiple areas, which will increase the total time. General anesthesia is also preferred for people who wish to avoid the possibility of anxiety or discomfort that they may associate with the procedure.

With more recently developed techniques such as tumescent liposuction, local anesthetics provide both a numbing effect and a means to help remove fat. Also, a local anesthetic may be better when removing small areas of fat in one region that doesn't require much time in surgery.

Fat deposits adhere to the underside of the skin and can be removed if they can be dislodged. First, you would receive a local anesthetic in the area to be treated, as well as any additional anesthetics that you and your doctor decide upon. Your surgeon would make an incision and insert a cannula (a long, hollow needle) under the skin, scraping it along the underside skin surface to loosen the fat deposits. The fat deposits are then sucked into the vacuum through a tube connected to the cannula. More here

Surgical methods of penis enlargement — not for cosmetic use

2008-06-06T16:09:00.003+08:00

Some surgeons have developed several different enlargement techniques, none of them endorsed by medical organizations. The American Urological Association, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons(ASPS) have all issued policy statements against cosmetic surgical procedures to enhance the penis.

A few different techniques are used to lengthen a penis. All of them are experimental. There aren't enough studies of penis augmentation surgery to give an accurate picture of results and risks of complications.

One procedure to lengthen the penis involves severing the suspensory ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone and moving skin from the abdomen to the penile shaft. When this ligament is cut, the penis may look longer because more of it hangs down. But cutting the suspensory ligament can cause an erect penis to be unstable and position itself at odd angles, particularly when erect.

Another operation advances a skin flap from the pubic area onto the penis. This procedure can lead to severe deformities, such as hair growth on the base of the penis, scarring and other problems.

Some procedures to make the penis thicker involve suctioning fat from a fleshy part of the body and injecting the fat into the penis. Another technique is simply to graft fat cut away from the buttocks or abdomen onto the penile shaft. Some practitioners use tissue from cadavers.

None of these techniques has been proved to be safe or effective. The ASPS considers injecting fat into the penis of unproven benefit and unknown safety. Potential risks of these techniques include infection, loss of sensation in the skin, excessive bleeding and loss of penile function. While this may increase penis girth, the body can reabsorb the fat over time and cause an irregular contour to the penis. In one study, less than a third of the injected fat remained after one year following injection.

Surgery is risky, costly and unlikely to produce satisfactory results
Studies have shown that the majority of men who undergo penis enlargement surgery aren't satisfied with the results. Surgery may at best add an average of half an inch to the length of the flaccid penis. Surgery may not add any length to the erect penis.

Following various types of cosmetic penile enhancement surgery, some men have had to undergo additional operations to correct deformities caused by the original procedure. The ill effects include scarring, a shorter penis, hair on the base of the penis, a low-hanging penis, loss of sensitivity and abnormal fat lumps. Other complaints include impotence (erectile dysfunction), urinary incontinence and persistent pain.

Then there's the cost: as much as $10,000 for a typical penis-enlargement surgery that doesn't require additional corrective surgery. Because cosmetic surgery is seldom covered by insurance, you'll likely have to bear the entire expense.

Penis Enlargement Surgery

2008-06-06T16:06:00.000+08:00

Penis Widening may be performed as an independent procedure, or combined with penis lengthening, glanular enhancement and supra-pubic lipo. Clients have a choice of using Allograft Dermal Matrix Grafting (Alloderm ®), or Autologolous Dermal Grafting.
The surgery is performed with curvilinear incision in the infra-pubic region at the base of the penis that approximately 2 inches in length and a second incision usually made approximately 5 mm proximal to the glans (the head) of the penis. This incision in necessary in order to insert the AlloDerm/Dermal grafting below the skin inside the front part of the penis for the girth enhancement procedure. Extreme precaution is taken to avoid major blood vessels and nerves.

Patients can expect a circumference girth gain of 3/4" to 1" with Allograft Dermal Matrix Grafting (Alloderm ®), or 1" to 2" circumference girth gain with Autologolous Dermal Grafting.

Penis Lengthening may be performed as an independent procedure, or combined with penis widening/glanular enhancement and supra-pubic lipo. The penis is held within the body by the suspensory ligament. Lengthening is acheived by releasing the suspensory ligament from the pubic bone, allowing the inner penis to advance outside of the body. The procedure is performed through a discreet transverse incision in the supra-pubic region above the base of the penis.

Patients can expect a length gain of 1-2 inches with surgical intervention coupled with post-op physiotherapy.

Early this year bombshell Mariah Carey, the 39-year old singer married 27-year old rapper-actor, Nick Cannon.

Mariah had breast augmentation as well as laser liposuction . Possibly she had facial procedures to minimize the appearance of aging, including dermal injections such as Botox, Juvederm and laser skin treatments to maintain her smooth, poreless, wrinkle-free complexion such as Fraxel, Active Fx, and CoolTouch. A more drastic procedure is a possible rhinoplasty (nose job) to slim her nose as well as possible liposuction on her abdomen and thighs. Probably she needs a breast job to help her boobs stay firm and resist the force of gravity.

Innovative Radio Frequency Technology

Innovative Radio Frequency Technology

Also known as the latest in soft face – lift and non – surgical!

Thermafine Lift is a Radio – frequency device, known as RF, designed by Termafine aesthetic applications for skin tightening and lifting.

Basically the Thermafine lift is able to transmit heat to the dermal layers of the skin without affecting the epidermis. The rise in temperature causes shrinkage of existing collagen, resulting in tightening of the overlying skin.

What is the science behind RF in Skin – rejuvenation?

RF energy is part of the electro – magnetic spectrum which includes gamma rays, infra – red and radio waves among others.

When RF energy is applied to tissues, electromagnetic fields cause movement of charged particles within the tissue, resulting in heat – generating molecular action. The heat causes collagen to shrink, which tightens the skin above it giving the skin a more youthful and firmer look.

Psychological Benefits of a Bigger Penis

2008-01-01T16:07:00.000+08:00

The face of a man is usually an open book to most women. They can read practically anything in our faces. I’ve known ladies who could tell the size of my penis, bank account and the status of my sex life by taking only one look at me. Of course, the look was followed by the lady’s departure in the opposite direction.

Failure always leaves a mark on your face, just like success does. And women can read those marks awfully well. It’s even worse when you have a small penis and failure tends to follow failure in a pattern that grows bigger every day.

The first thing women notice about a man is his confidence level. A stoop-shouldered man with a downcast look has very little chance of actually getting a date from a decentlooking lady.

On the other hand, a broad-chested guy with a confident look in his eyes and a swagger in his step is sure to catch the eye of most women. He may not get every single pretty girl, but he’ll sure as hell be noticed by each and every one. Trust me, nothing gives a man more confidence than a big penis. A man who knows that the schlong dangling in his pants is big enough to satisfy any woman walks around with an “I don’t have a care in the world” kind of aura.

You can bet your life that women notice that. Women don’t care a lot what a man says, since most men have little to say that interests a woman. But they pay strict attention to the subtle signs in a man’s attitude. Women think: “If he looks confident, then there must be something about him that makes him so confident. This could be interesting”. A big penis is your ticket to that show of confidence that is not an act or a sham, but the real thing. Are you suffering from low-confidence and anxiety? Are you afraid that women may look down on you? Then penis enlargement is the solution for you. The minute you stop worrying, it’s their turn to be anxious.

A big penis has a lot of benefits and no downside that I can think of. Well, maybe if you decide to increase your penis size to 9 or 10 inches; that could be a problem. But if you stick to a nice 8 inches, then you’ll reap all the benefits. Increased confidence, greater stamina in bed, better control of your ejaculation, longer sex sessions and more pleasure for you and the lady, all these can be yours.

PLASTIC SURGERY: CROSS ACNE SCARRING TREATMENTS JOURNEY

2007-12-23T20:28:00.000+08:00

Techniques and procedures used in plastic surgery.

2007-11-24T12:46:00.000+08:00

Common techniques used in plastic surgery are:

incision
excision
microsurgery
chemosurgery
electrosurgery
laser surgery
dermabrasion
liposuction
In plastic surgery the transfer of skin tissue (skin grafting) is one of the most common procedures. (In traditional surgery a “graft” is a piece of living tissue, organ, etc., that is transplanted.

Autografts: Skin grafts taken from the recipient. If absent or deficient of natural tissue, alternatives can be:
Cultured Sheets of epithelial cells in vitro.
Synthetic compounds (e.g., Integra--a 2 layered dermal substitute consisting superficially of silicone and deeply of bovine tendon collagen with glycosaminoglycans).
Allografts: Skin grafts taken from a donor of the same species.
Xenografts: Skin grafts taken from a donor of a different species.
Usually, good results are expected from plastic surgery that emphasizes:

Careful planning of incisions so that they fall in the line of natural skin folds or lines.
Appropriate choice of wound closure.
Use of best available suture materials.
Early removal of exposed sutures so that the wound is held closed by buried sutures.

Sexual dysfunction

2007-09-26T10:40:00.000+08:00

Sexual problems are defined as difficulty during any stage of the sexual act (which includes desire, arousal, orgasm, and resolution) that prevents the individual or couple from enjoying sexual activity.

Sexual difficulties may begin early in a person's life, or they may develop after an individual has previously experienced enjoyable and satisfying sex. A problem may develop gradually over time, or may occur suddenly as a total or partial inability to participate in one or more stages of the sexual act. The causes of sexual difficulties can be physical, psychological, or both.

Emotional factors affecting sex include both interpersonal problems and psychological problems within the individual. Interpersonal problems include marital or relationship problems, or lack of trust and open communication between partners. Personal psychological problems include depression, sexual fears or guilt, or past sexual trauma

Weight Loss (Bariatric) Surgery

2007-09-05T11:22:00.000+08:00

Bariatric surgery is the technical term for operations that are designed to help people lose weight where diet and exercise alone have failed. Surgical therapy has been shown to be effective over both the short-term and long-term in achieving weight loss. However, surgery should be considered as part of an overall plan of weight management - it is not an option for all people who are overweight, and surgery alone without dietary or lifestyle modifications may not be successful.

Botox have been used for neck spasms, cranial nerve disorders and eye spasms. With the recent FDA approval of Botox® for cosmetic use , the drug is used to smooth wrinkles. When injected into facial muscles botulinum toxins block nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing muscles and smoothing wrinkles. Currently Botox® is the only form of botulinum toxin approved by the FDA for cosmetic purposes in the glabellar region, but two others, MyoblocTM and Dysport® are under FDA review for cosmetic use.

Enlarged breasts are often the result of hereditary factors or weight gain. Hormones also play a part in some cases where the breast tissue is actually more sensitive than normal to certain female hormones. Sagging breasts result from poor skin tone, stretching of ligaments during pregnancy and breast feeding, weight changes, heredity, and the aging process. Either of these conditions can be corrected with the same basic operative procedure, and thousands of women each year undergo successful surgical alteration of their breasts.
During your initial consultation, you will be encouraged to discuss your desires, fears, expectations, and goals. In addition to reducing breast size, the doctor will strive to create a more aesthetically pleasing breast by improving shape and balance and creating breasts which are proportional to your chest and shoulders. No woman has breasts which are perfectly symmetrical. In addition, a youthful appearance--firm breasts with proper uplift--is desirable.

Breast Augmentation

2007-04-19T14:22:00.000+08:00

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the size of the breasts. It is usually performed to enlarge small, underdeveloped breasts that have decreased in size after pregnancy. It can also be performed in cases of breast deformity, or where one breast has not developed in proper symmetry with the other. When a breast is lost due to breast cancer, breast reconstruction may also be possible.

There are several types of incision techniques that can be considered for breast augmentation. The incision type used generally depends on the surgeon's technique. Once the incision is made, the surgeon will lift breast tissue up and down to create a pocket. This pocket will either be under the tissue or underneath the chest wall muscle. Once the pocket is created, the breast augmentation surgeon will place a breast implant inside. Traditionally, this procedure has been accomplished by using a flexible plastic envelope containing a silicone gel. However, there have recently been concerns raised about the safety of silicone implants. While further research is being done, new patients desiring breast augmentation are restricted to saline-filled implants.

Breast augmentation surgery can usually be done in one-day surgery as an outpatient procedure. Most women are able to return to work in four days.

Understanding risk

No major problem is experience with augmentation mamoplasty. However every surgical procedure has risks. The potential complication of surgery is best discussed on a personal basis.
You should be aware that pregnancy can alter breast size in an unpredictable way and could affect the long term results of your surgery.
There is no evidence that breast implants will affect pregnancy or your ability to breast feed.

How breast augmentation is performed ?

Currently woman undergoing breast augmentation receive gel filled or saline filled implants with a silicone shell.
The silicone shell used mostly are textured (rough) surface to diminish surrounding scar “so called capsule” formation.
However you should consult and discuss all the safe implant types you may choose with your specialist.

Understanding the risk

The potential complications include blood accumulation around the implant that may need surgically drained, infection, malposition of the implant etc. Change in the nipple or breast sensation may result temporary from breast augmentation. Capsular contracture around the implant can cause discomfort or change in the breast appearance.
You will be instructed to massage your breast implants regularly to lessen its possibility.

Your surgical experience

In some instances your specialist will recommend a baseline mammogram before surgery and this will help to detect any future change in your breast tissue. You should perform self breast examination after augmentation. Basically breast augmentation is performed on an ambulatory basis. However overnight stay at the hospital is not uncommon.
The anesthesia choices should be discuss between you and your anesthesiologist. When the surgery is completed,the surgeon will wrap your chest with elasticized bandage to immobilize breast implants and collapse the creating pockets.

Post operation period

You may permitted to go home after few recovery hours if you feel comfortable. Bandage and wound dressing should be removed within two days, and you may be instructed to wear a support bra; front hook without push up frame.

After breast augmentation

You can resume your normal work within few days or a week depended on your job. The results of your breast implants will be long lasting except for implant deflection that might occur for saline filled implant.
You will returned to your surgeon in 7 days post operation for stitches removal. Follow up care may be planned. You are encourage to schedule a routine breast evaluations at the frequency recommended for your age group.

Cosmetic Surgery for Face and Eyes.

Liposuction

2007-03-01T23:20:00.000+08:00

When exercise and dieting can't get rid of that one area of your body that's been nagging you, liposuction could be your answer. Also known as lipoplasty, the liposuction surgery procedure is a popular cosmetic technique that can remove fat deposits in specific areas of the body. This is usually achieved by inserting a probe into the body, liquefying the fat, and then extracting it. Of course, there are a variety of techniques with varying results, and each target area brings its own specific concerns.

The key fact about lipoplasty is that it is not an alternative to exercising and eating well. It is still a surgical procedure and it brings with it a lengthy healing process, and the possibility of health complications. There's also the question of cost. As with all cosmetic operations, liposuction doesn't come cheaply. It's an investment of time and money, but one that can have great results for your body.

How will you know if liposuction is for you? Well, first of all, you should be a healthy person in both mind and body. Second, you should have healthy skin that has good elasticity. That's because once the fat is removed, your skin will need to respond to the new contour of your body. Lastly, you should have some pockets of fat that you've been trying to work off, but just can't get rid of. It's nothing to be ashamed of, really, because some fat is an inherited trait that can't be treated with exercise and dieting. If you're tired of a problem area in your body that makes you look disproportionate, then liposuction surgery could be your answer.

On average, less than 10 pounds of fat are removed from the body in a single operation. That's because the procedure also involves some blood loss that must be counter-acted by intravenous injections. Though losing 10 pounds in one shot can sound like a great way to lose weight, lipoplasty is only a method to contour the body. You might have heard of people losing 50 pounds of weight in one liposuction surgery, but that's completely exaggerated. There's no way that skin could accommodate that kind of change without additional surgery to remove excess skin. Such secondary operations often leave scarring, and that's why the average liposuction procedure is still below 10 pounds of fat.

Liposuction has been helping men and women overcome their problem areas for many years. It's a safe procedure in an established field. Every imaginable place in the body where fat can accumulate has been subjected to lipoplasty procedures before, so there isn't a problem that your doctor can't help with. Undergoing a cosmetic operation is not an easy decision, and finding the best information is important. Feel free to browse the rest of our liposuction section for specific information on the procedures, costs, results, and risks of liposuction.

Asian Rhinoplasty (Surgery of the Oriental Nose)

2007-02-21T16:07:00.001+08:00

Left: Before surgery.
Right: 7 weeks after surgery.

This 25 year old female Asian complained that her nose was too wide and flat. She did not like her wide nostrils and the width of the tip.
The Asian nose is naturally wide. Just how wide the nose should be is a personal choice. Notice how the nose was narrowed to fit her face.
The bones, cartilage, and nostrils widths were reduced.
A rhinoplasty does not have to look like surgery was done. Negative features can be minimized while the positive ones emphasized. She had an open rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. The bones and cartilage were moved closer and the width of the lower nose reduced.
There is a gentle elevation of the nasal boney dorsum. Moving the bones closer raises the dorsum. No dorsal graft was used during this nasal surgery. Excessive elevation of the Asian nose can look very unnatural

Surgery of the eyelid.

2007-02-17T15:52:00.000+08:00

Eyelid surgery can correct the drooping upper eyelid and puffiness below the eyes,which makes a person looks older and more tired than actually is. This procedure is called blepharoplasty.

Essentially, blepharoplasty is used to remove the fat as well as the excess skin and muscle on the upper and lower eyelid.

The above surgery is usually performed as a"outpatient" surgery and it is done under local anesthesia.

The procedure takes anything from one to three hours and the patient is conscious all the time.

Chemical Peel If You're Considering Chemical Peel...

2007-02-06T07:21:00.000+08:00

Chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) are used for this purpose. The precise formula used may be adjusted to meet each patient's needs. Although chemical peel may be performed in conjunction with a facelift, it is not a substitute for such surgery, nor will it prevent or slow the aging process. We provide basic information about certain types of chemical peel treatments and the results you might expect. We won't answer all your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Once you and your plastic surgeon have decided on a specific peel program, be sure to ask about any details that you do not understand.
Deciding if chemical peel is right for you Chemical peel is most commonly performed for cosmetic reasons -- to enhance your appearance and your self confidence. Chemical peel may also remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and even control acne. In certain cases, health insurance may cover the peel procedure. Be sure to check your policy and contact your insurance company before the procedure is performed.
Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic, lactic, or fruit acids are the mildest of the peel formulas and produce light peels. These types of peels can provide smoother, brighter-looking skin for people who can't spare the time to recover from a phenol or TCA peel. AHA peels may be used to treat fine wrinkling, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. Various concentrations of an AHA may be applied weekly or at longer intervals to obtain the best result. Your doctor will make this decision during your consultation and as the treatment proceeds. An alphahydroxy acid, such as glycolic acid, can also be mixed with a facial wash or cream in lesser concentrations as part of a daily skin-care regimen to improve the skin's texture.
