Gastric bypass surgery became more publicly known as more individuals underwent weight loss surgery as a way to assist them with obesity. Famous people were going on national television and openly discussing the discussion he or she made to have weight loss surgery. As with anything in life many individuals are for weight loss surgery and many individuals state undergoing a surgical procedure is a cope out to lose weight.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Anyone out there who has undergone weight loss surgery for an eating disorder knows it was not an easier way out. The surgery is a tool the individual still must change the behavior and relationship he or she has with food. Weight loss surgery requires a lifetime commitment to stay healthy and balanced for life by no means a quick fix. People who learn of the surgery are educated prior to surgery also after surgery. Many surgeons provide psychological and nutritional support before during and after gastric bypass surgery however, majority of patients do not follow up and take advantage of these offerings.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The saying "Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes" is appropriate, if he or she continues doing the same behaviors as they did prior to surgery they will experience the same result in eating disorders. Initially they may lose weight however, they will never achieve the goal weight, and eventually the weight regain will occur as well as long-term more weight will be added. Conceivably they can still have a small stomach yet be obese. The surgery is a tool if he or she finds they are experiencing weight re-gain and are motivated to get help inpatient treatment for eating disorders is appropriate.<br /><br />Joanna works for the Women's Behavioral Program.

In my Indianapolis plastic surgery practice, most of my cosmetic patients are taking at least one herbal supplement. For most, the concept of using herbal supplements is that they can't hurt and can only help. And since they don't need a prescription, it is natural to believe that they don't really pose any health risks. As such, herbal medications are assumed to be safe.<br /><br />A recent report in the March/April issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal finds that almost half of plastic surgery patients have used herbal supplements in the weeks before their upcoming surgery. Many of these include such ginkgo biloba, ginseng, garlic, echinacea, and valerian root. Most patients don't know that these supplements can have side effects which are very relevant to surgery including interaction with other medications (anesthetic drugs) and alteration of one's ability to clot properly. Despite the fact that the dangerous side effects of some herbal supplements have been widely publicized, many patients do not fully appreciate the importance of discontinuing these treatments before surgery. Furthermore, the unregulated manufacturing standards and lack of product regulations for the entire supplement industry can produce herbal supplements whose quality and actual contents vary considerably. Most of the time, nobody really knows what is actually inside those tablets.<br /><br />As a result, I provide my patients prior to surgery a comprehensive list of supplements that must be avoided in the weeks before and after surgery to minimize potential surgical complications. Stopping certain herbal supplements prior to surgery is just as critical as stopping aspirin, ibuprofen, or plavix. One should stop taking them two weeks before and for one week after any major plastic surgery procedure that requires an anesthetic and is more than just a minor operation.<br /><br />Dr Barry Eppley is a board-certified plastic surgeon in private practice in Indianapolis, Indiana at Clarian Health Systems.

In most cases, liposuction is a relatively safe outpatient procedure treatment in which fat is suctioned out using what's known as a Cannula tube.<br /><br />The procedure has been known to instantly help those struggling with body fat, including obese individuals,or disproportion ed individuals, or just average moms who can't get back to their pre-pregnancy figure no matter how hard they try.<br /><br />Although the testimonies about liposuction are limitless, the myths have also begun to run rampant, as people believe lipoplasty is a quick fix to their poor diet and lifestyle issues. The following article lists the top 3 myths (or false expectations) that people have regarding liposuction.<br /><br />For those considering the procedure, it's important to familiarize yourself with the following myths to gain the most realistic expectation of what lipoplastyplasty can actually do for you or your body.<br /><br />* Myth 1: Liposuction is a weight loss tool.<br /><br />Fact-False.<br /><br />While a person may not gain weight again in the specific area where fat cells were removed, any weight gain will spill over disproportionately to other parts of the body. Furthermore, because the fat cells are not completely removed in the targeted areas, excessive overeating following this procedure can cause the remaining fat cells to grow, thus causing the person to gain weight in spite of the treatment.<br /><br />* Myth 2: Liposuction will remove problem areas such as cellulite, stretch marks or loose skin.<br /><br />Fact-False.<br /><br />The procedure is only meant to remove stubborn fat cells, while contouring and shaping a person's existing figure. Conditions such as cellulite or stretch marks are actually skin conditions that are not removed during this procedure. In fact, cellulite and stretch marks may actually look worse following liposuction, as they stand out more next to the new toned and contoured body part.<br /><br />* Myth 3: A person will lose weight immediately following liposuction.<br /><br />Fact-False.<br /><br />A person will actually weigh more during the first 2-3 weeks following the procedure. That is due to fluid retention that often takes days or weeks to completely subside. However, the full effects of the procedure will not be noticed until 4 to 6 months post-op, as it takes this long for the body to adjust to the changes that have been made.<br /><br />Admittedly, adding a regular diet and exercise routine immediately following the surgery can help to significantly reduce the amount of time that it takes to see dramatic results in the body.<br /><br />As the points above make clear, liposuction is not a cure all for those that refuse to diet and exercise, or for those expecting a different cosmetic look (i.e. the removal of loose skin that may be better achieved by undergoing a tummy tuck than it would liposuction).<br /><br />However, after learning the common myths surrounding lipoplasty, the chances are a greater that a number of people will enter the procedure with realistic expectations and find themselves they are very satisfied with the final result<br /><br />In Boston MA liposuction surgeon Dr. Moss has an excellent reputation for providing his clients with Gold standard of care and treatment.

Why? Well, cosmetic surgery deals with altering the body, or parts of it. Would you feel comfortable putting your bodies in the hand of a surgery center that has doctors and surgeons that are not trained? Let alone, are you comfortable being operated on in an area that is not clean, unsanitary, and so forth? Most people would not be, which is why finding a good surgery center is important for anyone considering some sort of cosmetic surgery.<br /><br />Firstly, try to ask around. Ask friends, family, or colleagues. Ask them whether they have ever had any sort of cosmetic surgery done, or if they know anyone who has. If so, they can possibly forward you to the name of the surgery center where the operation(s) took place. Aside from asking where they had surgery done, you should ask more specific questions. Ask questions such as, what type of cosmetic surgery was done exactly, how long it took, how much it cost, how long was the wait before the surgery, and anything else that could come to mind.<br /><br />Secondly, you can read reviews on the web. This should be a second option (if you cannot find people who have actually had cosmetic surgery done). Why? Because reviews on the web could be biased, fake, and so on. Though the web is a great resource these days, it should never be fully trusted. In other words, do not make your decision of going forward with surgery or not based on what you read on website. If you are going to use the web to read reviews, read several. If you only read one, the chances are it may not be accurate. If you read lots of reviews about a specific surgery center, and all of them say it is great, chances are, the reviews are legit. If you end up only finding one review about a specific cosmetic surgery center, you should probably not go with it.<br /><br />Finding a good cosmetic surgery center is not hard. It will just take a fair amount of research and questioning on your part. The hardest part of cosmetic surgery is finding the right place to have it done. Once you have completed that part, the rest is in the hands of the surgeons and doctors, thus you need not worry from that point on.<br /><br />When looking to improve your appearance with plastic surgery, make sure you have all the facts. If you're in the Los Angeles area, you can find more information at the Los Angeles Plastic Surgery site. It's full of relevant information, as well as in depth profiles of the top Los Angeles Plastic Surgeons.<br /><br /> <br />By Matt Robisonlalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158749087729391223.post-91208049472021021292009-04-29T21:10:00.003-07:002009-04-29T21:10:56.650-07:00Plastic Surgery Gets Down to the Details With MicrosurgeryMicrosurgery is a new development that makes plastic surgery much easier for both the doctor and the patient. With this advanced surgical technique, the plastic surgeon can do work better and more precisely than every before.<br /><br />Microsurgery uses a microscope to do detailed work under high magnification. This includes new techniques like sewing blood vessels and suturing nerves. It allows implants to get the blood they need, and actually function as a part of your body. This way, implants are no longer a foreign object. Microsurgery can work wonders in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.<br /><br />Breast Surgery Using Perforator Flaps<br /><br />Recovering from breast cancer is painful, but now plastic surgery can wipe the pain away using a new type of implant called perforator flaps. Implanting these flaps puts microsurgery to use. It can get the breasts you lost through breast cancer back, and they will feel perfectly real.<br /><br />This procedure uses skin, tissue and blood vessels from other parts of the body to reconstruct your breasts. Like a skin graft, perforator flaps are connected to an implant in the chest. The difference between flaps and implants is that flaps are "wired" to the rest of your body. This means that you have feeling in them, and they function just like real breasts.<br /><br />Getting Yourself Reconnected with Hand Surgery<br /><br />One of plastic surgery's main trouble areas has always been hand surgery. What do you do when your hand no longer works the way it is supposed to? You start to realize just how important your hands are. In the past, plastic surgery was powerless to do anything about it. Now, using microsurgery, hands can be fixed.<br /><br />Some hand problems are caused by nerve trauma. Others may be caused by cuts or fractures that sever a key artery or nerve. The most common hand problem is arthritis, which many of us suffer from in middle and old age. Microsurgery can reconnect all the hand's parts and get it working again. Fingers can even be reattached, or damaged nerves reconnected.<br /><br />Microsurgery for Treating Kids<br /><br />One of the major areas where this technique has helped is in pediatric surgery. These days, it is essential for treating problems in children. These problems might include anomalies in the body. The hands and feet are the most common areas that need help. Some children are born with too many or not enough fingers, and this means a lifetime of social problems and possibly pain.<br /><br />Facial deformities are also an area where now cosmetic surgery can help. Without microsurgery, doctors can't fix these problems without giving patients a fake prosthetic face. Now all the tissue can be connected and function as if the patient was born with it.<br /><br />It can also treat traumas in children. If kids have suffered damage to the face, hands, arms, feet or legs, it can now be fixed. Prosthetic limbs can now be connected with all the nerves and blood vessels working properly.<br /><br />Whether you are getting cosmetic work done, or treating traumas and abnormalities, microsurgery can open doors that before would have been shut. Microsurgery is a weapon for the toughest jobs that would have been impossible years ago. New techniques such as this are being perfected everyday, that make what we could only imagine yesterday a reality today.<br /><br />You don't have to be dissatisfied with your appearance or sit back and let aging happen.

If you want to get augmentation surgery, you will want to take proper steps to insure your bust looks natural and have minimal side effects.<br /><br />Many women are unhappy with the size of their breast and choose to enlarge them. If you are considering this procedure then you will want to research the procedure carefully. First, you may want to decide on ways to finance your surgery.<br /><br />Since the procedure is usually considered cosmetic and therefore elective surgery, this is usually not covered by insurance. Therefore you may want to use cash or some type of financing. There are several plastic surgery financing companies who can help you finance the procedure.<br /><br />Remember that these loans are usually considered unsecure loans, which means they are a bit riskier to offer. This means that the company will normally pass on much of the risk to the individual by way of a higher interest rate. If you are considering a financing company, choose one who can provide you with the best terms and conditions.<br /><br />While you decide on how to finance the procedure, you will also want to think about what size breasts you want. Do you want to go dramatically larger or just a bit larger? Look around and individuals walking around and also in magazines and see what shape you may want to get.<br /><br />In addition, you may want to try a few tests to see if you are able to handle a larger bust. For example, there are kits that you can get that will give you temporarily larger breast. If you do not want to get the kits, then you can place some oatmeal or rice in a bag and put them in your bra to see if you are able to go about your daily activities with your new size.<br /><br />You will want to sleep with a bra on and the sizers in your bra, to make sure you can handle sleeping comfortably. Remember to look at the shape of your body. If you have a small frame, then large breasts may look very unnatural on you. A very large bust can also create pain in your back, which may pop up well after the procedure is over.<br /><br />If you are considering the surgery, make sure you choose a doctor who has years of experience performing the procedure. This person should undergo regular training and should be monitored by some governing body to insure they adhere to certain standards. If you do this, you will minimize the risks of side effects during the surgery.<br /><br />Although most surgeries occur with minimal side effects and are considered safe, there sometimes are complications that occur during and after the surgery. If this happens, you want be with a doctor who can address your needs.<br /><br />If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, you will want to choose a doctor who has experience in this technique. Breast augmentation surgery can be great as long as you choose the proper sized breast implants.<br /><br />New Jersey breast augmentation surgeon will explain and demonstrate the differences between silicone gel and saline breast implants to you during your consultation.

Breast implants usually cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on a number of factors. The average cost is about $4,000. You can expect to pay more for implants in major metropolitan areas, especially New York and Los Angeles.<br /><br />The least expensive place to get your surgery is in the southern states. When you're asking about the price, be sure to ask if it includes one implant or both. This might seem obvious, but this simple mistake could mean seeing the cost double when you get your bill! It's important to make sure you've got all the details covered.<br /><br />Some Things That Affect Price<br /><br />$2-10,000 is a big range. So, what factors affect the price?<br /><br />First off, the type of implant makes a difference. Silicone implants cost more than saline. You can expect to pay about $1,000 more per implant, although this varies quite a bit depending on location. Another major factor is what the price covers. Implants themselves usually cost around $1,000 a piece.<br /><br />Anesthesia is usually $500 to $800, and hospital fees usually run about $1,000. Medications to help you in your recovery will also add to the cost. Make sure your quote covers everything, so there won't be any surprises. A reputable clinic will give you all the detailed information you need up front.<br /><br />A few years after you get your implants, you'll want to have a follow-up. This will include an MRI, which usually costs somewhere around $2,000. Don't think of this as an optional cost! The purpose of the follow-up visit is to make sure the implants are not ruptured. This is an important safety measure, so don't try to cut costs by not doing it!<br /><br />Breast Implants and Insurance<br /><br />Many folks find it hard to get funding for their implants. Health insurance almost never pays for breast augmentation. In cases where the operation is for breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, coverage is sometimes available.<br /><br />Even when there is coverage for breast augmentation, it usually doesn't cover health problems that might occur as a result of the surgery, follow-up appointments or MRI's. Be sure you know exactly what is and isn't covered in your health plan.<br /><br />In face, some health plans will raise your premiums if you have had breast work done. They view it as a risk, even though breast implants are safer than ever these days. Your health company may be one of these, so be sure you read the fine print and know where they stand.<br /><br />How Much Should You Pay?<br /><br />You can't really put a price on quality breast augmentation work. If a doctor says they will do the job at a ridiculously low price, it might be a good idea to look elsewhere. It's not worth the risk going with a clinic that may not be safe or trustworthy in order to save money.<br /><br />A breast job done badly will end up costing you more because you'll have to have corrective surgery, or have the bad implants removed. When shopping for a clinic, don't worry as much about the cost as about the quality they offer.<br /><br />By A Aaronsonlalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158749087729391223.post-59563807430054578342009-04-29T00:50:00.001-07:002009-04-29T00:50:35.060-07:00Plastic Surgery Can Help One Regain ConfidenceWhile the idea of life being hard is about as old as life its self, this new era is being defined by this saying in the worst of ways. And while the people old enough to remember the last depression will undoubtedly say they had it way worse, the only thing people can be sure of now is that they will probably be sprouting the same sentiments to their great, great grandchildren someday.<br /><br />There's no question that the future is bleak, and that it's being felt nationwide. Once sturdy, possibly even noble conglomerates are disappearing at record rates leaving the masses with only unemployment and decidedly less options when seeking affordable home electronics.<br /><br />While the economy boomed over the past decade, health, a fad actually started during the rather rough economic times of the early Reagan administration swept the nation, placing physical looks and physical health at a premium. In some ways, a healthy lifestyle was as valued as a lifestyle based around having luxury.<br /><br />Those with regular jogging routines and a love of a crunch-based exercise regiments could stand proud regardless of how large their stock portfolios were. And while the rest were alright with this, what with the security of a decent paying job and being able to afford things for their children, they didn't have to take care of themselves from a fitness perspective.<br /><br />Suddenly, many find themselves facing middle age not only looking unhealthy, but without any financial blanket to help themselves sleep at night. The ability to eat fast food while passing their less financially motivated neighbors jogging vigorously down the sidewalk has become a thing of the past.<br /><br />That's why looking one's best is more important than ever in today's day and age. And for those who haven't been as good about helping up their health, plastic surgery is a great option to start one living a better life.<br /><br />For these individuals, as the economy has dwindled, so has their confidence. Plastic surgery can be a great motivator to encourage one to make the changes now, to start a better existence. There are many options, from liposuction, to facelifts, to abdominoplasty (tummy tucks), to lipoabdominoplasty.<br /><br />These can take the weight off, remove age lines, get rid of excess sagging skin, and even help form those well defined abs that most people never bothered to get in the first place. These techniques can not only make a person look younger, they can make a person look better than they'd ever looked in the first place.<br /><br />While plastic surgery can do wonders, it's up to the individual to make the necessary steps to maintain that physique. It gives the luxury of showing the results up front. This provides a base for a person to maintain, which is much easier than years of hard work with so much uncertainty. And while there's still hard work involved, it is easier when one can see how attainable it is.

No two nipples are ever exactly alike, usually not even on the same person. While much breast reshaping (breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift) goes on in plastic surgery, many men and women suffer from nipple deformities as well which also affects their self-esteem. Nipples can stick out too much, can be turned in, or the areola (the colored area surrounding the nipple) can be too large. Some of these nipple problems may affect certain breast functions such as feeling or lactation. The good news is that there are some very simple plastic surgery procedures that are quite effective at improving these problems.<br /><br />For the sake of clarification, what most call the nipple is actually two different structures. The true nipple is the central projecting skin area that has both enhanced sensation and milk ducts for lactation. The flatter, almost always more pigmented, skin around the true nipple is called the areola.<br /><br />Nipple inversion (shy nipple) affects about 2% of the population, more commonly in women than men. Some nipples can be turned in slightly or to a significant degree. Some people are born with nipple inversion, others occur later often after breastfeeding. In rare instances, a tumor may be pulling the nipple inward and this should be ruled out particularly if it occurs later in life and just on one breast. Correction involves a simple procedure done under local anesthesia. The nipple is released and brought out. The biggest problem with nipple inversion correction is relapse, the nipple losing projection and returning to an inward position. Nipple inversion surgery can also be done at the time of other breast surgery. I usually like to delay repair in the case of breast augmentation until later as the implant may help to push out some nipples, making correction unnecessary.<br /><br />Enlarged nipples often create visible 'headlights' which can be a source of embarrassment for many women. This can also be an issue for some men. An overly projecting nipple can be easily reduced through a wedge excision or a 'ring' reduction approach. Sensation and the ability for milk production can be preserved with either technique. Done under local anesthesia, nipple reductions are very stable and are not associated with any significant relapse.<br /><br />"Puffy" nipples can occur in women and are usually associated with the tubular breast deformity. In this nipple problem, the areola and the nipple are pushed outward due to an underlying herniation or protrusion of breast tissue. Correction of this problem is slightly more complex than isolated nipple surgery. It is usually treated as part of tubular breast surgery which involves the use of a breast implant and areolar manipulation. This is treated by making an incision around the areola, removing some of the pigmented skin (if needed), and lifting the areola skin up and decreasing the projection (puffiness). This is a more extensive surgery and requires an operative room experience under anesthesia.<br /><br />Large or wide areolas are extremely common in big breasts. Usually the size of the areola is related to the size of the breast, but not always. Large areolas are commonly reduced as part of breast reduction surgery. They can be reduced independent of a breast reduction through the periareolar approach. By removing a ring of the outer areola, the circular diameter of the areola is narrowed. Due the tightness of breast skin, there is a limit as to how much the areola can be reduced. This procedure results in a scar at the junction of the areola and skin which occasionally widens and requires secondary revisional surgery.<br /><br />Dr Barry Eppley is a board-certified premiere plastic surgeon in private practice in Indianapolis, Indiana at Clarian Health Systems.

As they saw how irritated I became some of them even mounted the pressure which I could not always handle, and I admit I even cried sometimes at home in the shower, punching my nose in despair. Quite sad, looking back at it now, and so young I was not yet familiar with positive thinking and other methods, but had enough willpower to decide that I have to do something about the situation as I was not the type who gives up easily.<br /><br />The Nose Job Surgery Failure<br /><br />First and foremost I was determined to change my external appearance, and started hectically searching for the descriptions and costs of a nose job surgery procedure by cosmetic surgeons. I imagined that if I will have a smaller nose I will be accepted and cherished by my looks, and I can just fit in easily with the others. It came to a point that my parents sat down with me and explained that a nose job could have unforeseen consequences for such a young person, and I should wait with it until I get older and more mature to make a more informed decision. I can tell you now, that I did not undergo a nose job surgery at the time, because I was shown some failed procedures by our psychiatrist which succeeded in turning me away from such a drastic procedure, not even advised for young and growing persons.<br /><br /> Happy Ending<br /><br />As I approached my 20s, my high school mates were far away and I joined communities where performance was emphasized rather than looks, and hence no one was picking on something that I was born with. I also grew taller thus my body became proportionate with my nose. So even if that failed nose job surgery was not mine, the sight of it helped me in changing not my nose but my perceptions and my communities. If someone picks on me today which rarely happens, I tell them to watch out, tomorrow you might want to have a nose as big as mine, when I will be all over the newspaper as the newest star. Aside from this joke, I beg you to get informed prior to committing yourself to a nose job or other cosmetic surgery.<br /><br />Here is a video resource, called Cosmetic Surgery Tell All - Face Lifts, Breast Jobs, & Tummy Tucks, http://www.reviewcritical.com/cosmetic-surgery-tell-all, that I shared with my kids when they had doubts about their looks. This is not a collection of failed cosmetic surgeries, but a very informative resource on all kinds of cosmetic jobs, like nose, breast and tummy jobs.<br /><br /> <br />By George Gregorylalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158749087729391223.post-13359439146460173512009-04-29T00:45:00.000-07:002009-04-29T00:46:17.274-07:00Plastic Surgery - Feel Good About Yourself During Bad TimesAs the economy is hurtling quickly towards borderline oblivion, and the majority of Americans are recalculating retirement age to the upper echelons of their seventh decade, it's becoming very, very difficult to find something to feel good about.<br /><br />From those facing layoffs, to those working insane hours because of greatly reduced work staffs, everybody is feeling worse and worse about the future. These times are scary and nobody can predict what will possible bring an end to this recession.<br /><br />As a society that loves to buy things, it's fair to say, things are bad. People aren't buying things, so stores aren't selling things, and thus nobody is happy anymore. Beloved electronic behemoths, once thought of as almost comforting in their monolithic embodiment across shopping malls nationwide are disappearing almost as fast as the nation's collective dream of having some money to retire on.<br /><br />It's fair to say America's caught a case of recession depression, a notion embodied and talked about endlessly by both great grand relatives nationwide and ironically high priced documentary films, but mostly ignored or tolerated until something more interesting came along. And now faced with a new depression, the nation is naturally shocked and surprised by such an unpleasant outcome. It's why now more than ever feeling good about one's self is of such value.<br /><br />Plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery are all great ways to help improve not only one's appearance but one's entire outlook on life. It's great for improving how one sees them and how one feels others see them.<br /><br />It's not only effective, but increasing in popularity among men and women. With all the negative feelings floating around, the least a person can have is a little pride. It's not only helpful, but necessary. Plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery offer a tremendous variety of options.<br /><br />Abdominoplasty, liposuction, lipoabdominoplasty, Botox, and face lifts are just a few of the most popular and commonly performed procedures done today. Plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery work so effectively because they help show people how good they can look.<br /><br />And when the results are shown up front, it is motivation to maintain a healthier lifestyle. With liposuction, it can help remove the fat evenly, and even helps remove the layer that's resistant to exercise. Face lifts can help take years off a person's life, better representing how they feel on the inside.<br /><br />Abdominoplasty not only removes the excess skin that's an ugly reminder of progress, but it can also help form the abdominals that months of crunches haven't seemed to have any effect on. By fixing the physical areas, you're helping fix the psychic areas too.<br /><br />By fixing what you feel others need fixed, you're better preparing yourself for how you feel others should treat you. That's power that can only come from change. And those are just a few of the benefits of plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery and how it can help regain positive focus. Check out these procedures and others today and make the first steps to being happy again.<br /><br />With plastic surgery, Washington DC surgeons can helps you attain the look you desire with advanced surgical techniques.

It is an actual medical diagnosis (ankyloglossia) that is not that uncommon. (estimates are one in one to two thousand people) In my Indianapolis plastic surgery practice, I have seen lots of them over the years. It is a condition inside the mouth where the tip of the tongue is tethered down to the floor of the mouth. It is marked by an inability to move the tongue beyond the front teeth.....or just barely past them. When there is an attempt to stick the tongue out, a V-shaped notch appears at the tip. Technically, it occurs when the lingual frenulum (on the underside of the tongue) is either too short or anteriorly placed , restricting the mobility of the tongue.<br /><br />Ankyloglossia occurs as a result of a developmental aberration in utero. Early in fetal development, the tongue is attached to the floor of the mouth. Like how fingers become separate from the initial fetal webbed hand (planned cell death and atrophy), the tongue and the floor of the mouth separate leaving a residual attachment known as the frenulum. Tongue-tie results when this frenulum is short and thus limit the movement of the tongue. This is a condition which can be seen at birth if one looks carefully enough. But it becomes very apparent when the front teeth have erupted. Physical exam will easily demonstrate the short or anteriorly placed lingual frenulum. While the tongue continues to grow until about four years of age, one does not outgrow a short frenulum. Once present, it remains so.<br /><br />Tongue-tie most commonly appears as a partial restriction and rarely as a complete fusion. There is considerable controversy as to what functional problems that it may or may not cause. It has been implicated in speech defects, breastfeeding difficulties, and a source of dental problems. While I have seen and treated many tongue-ties in babies and young children, the few I have seen in adults did not appear to be causing any significant problems. The main reason tongue-ties are treated is for better tongue mobility which has a cosmetic benefit and probably some minor functional improvement as well.<br /><br />The main reason to treat tongue-tie, in my opinion, is the sheer simplicity of doing it without postoperative complications or relapse. One can have a lot of debate as to whether it is medically necessary, but if you can eliminate the problems with a very simple and quick procedure, that debate takes on less significance.<br /><br />Tongue-tie is released through a procedure known as a frenuloplasty or frenectomy. The frenulum is incised near its midportion until the tongue is fully released. Then it is sewn together with small resorbable sutures creating a long unrestricted frenulum. In babies and children this requires a general anesthetic. In adults, it can be done under local anesthesia in the office.<br /><br />Dr Barry Eppley is a board-certified premiere plastic surgeon in private practice in Indianapolis, Indiana at Clarian Health Systems.

An ever increasing number of women are opting for breast enlargement surgery and procedures such as facelifts are more popular than ever.<br /><br />For some the cost may be prohibitive meaning they turn to cosmetic surgery abroad. This may seem like a good idea and of course prices can be half of what you would pay in the UK, but are you really getting the same quality treatment?<br /><br />Be this as it may, one area often overlooked is the humble travel insurance policy and in particular whether they are covered when travelling abroad for these kinds of procedures.<br /><br />It appears that over 126,000 Brits travel abroad each year seeking cheaper medical and cosmetic treatment but a third of this number fail to check their policies to see if they are covered. Should something go wrong with your procedure you will find that the majority of insurers do not cover medical treatment abroad meaning you may have to pay privately for expensive reconstructive surgery back in the UK.<br /><br />Unfortunately, many procedures carried out in destinations such as Eastern Europe do not go without their hitches and it is not unknown for cosmetic surgery procedures such as breast enlargement to be botched leaving patients with asymmetrical breasts. You have very little comeback should this be the case and you may also find that the aftercare you receive is limited and of a poor standard which is something that can be expected in cut price operations where there is little room for profit.<br /><br />You should think carefully before opting for cosmetic surgery procedures abroad. It may save you money but is it worth the possible emotional and physical cost should something go wrong?<br /><br />By James P Wilkinsonlalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158749087729391223.post-30877898013470440842008-12-11T22:08:00.000-08:002008-12-11T22:11:46.607-08:00Cosmetic Surgery For Individuals Who Lose Weight TremendouslySudden and tremendous weight loss can be dangerous to the body. If you are on an extreme diet without any help of exercise, your body can lose weight due to nutrient deprivation and can result to some adverse effects to the organs of the body as well as the skin. There are several individuals who lose tremendous weight and end up having saggy skin. This problem can be corrected through a number of cosmetic surgery procedures.<br /><br />1) Gastric Bypass Procedure<br /><br />Gastric bypass is a procedure done to those who do not want to gain weight and want to restrict their food intake. The procedure is performed by creating a small pouch in the stomach in order to restrict food intake to less than what the person eats before having the operation.<br /><br />There are several benefits of gastric bypass and they include a more normal life by losing massive amounts of weight. In fact, most patients see the results as they tend to lose 100 to 200 pounds months after the surgery.<br /><br />After the surgery, you would be able to look and feel better and also fit into more normally sized clothing. More so, you would also be able to return to your active lifestyle and significantly lower the risks normally associated with the major diseases and conditions related with morbid obesity.<br /><br />2) Contouring the Body and Tummy Tucks<br /><br />Tummy tucks and body contouring procedures are also done to patients who have lost tremendous weight over a short period of time. These two are popular cosmetic surgeries that are used to strengthen and tighten overly stretched skin and abdominal muscles in order to achieve a flatter and smoother stomach.<br /><br />These procedures are also done if you have experienced weight gain, pregnancy and more. The effects of these events to the abdomen cause the muscle not to return to its original shape. Also, if the muscles are stretched beyond their limits, they tend to lose their ability to return to normal and respond to various diet programs and exercise.<br /><br />However, preparing for a cosmetic surgery is also important. There may be some surgeons who will require you to do some preparation, like exercising and balanced diet, before going into surgery. You must not neglect these preparations and do them religiously.

It has never been that close to fulfill that dream as it is now. With the use of new technology and advance treatments looking young and beautiful has never been this easier.<br /><br />In this world where everything is so competitive there is competition for good looks among women too. If you are young and have started dating then obviously the premium is on good looks. Now some females will have that good look automatically but some may not have that and the only option is of that to undergo cosmetic surgery.<br /><br />A lot of females at a younger age or even at a later stage want to have more enhanced breasts and hence the breasts enhancement is increasingly the option the women are turning to. The influence of Hollywood celebrities on the girls is another reason that the females are going for cosmetic surgery.<br /><br />Let us look at females who are in marriage. Often females who are in their forties and fifties want to have a younger look. The reason is not hard to fathom. These females know that if they do not look young and smart then their husbands will not like them or lose interest i them. So a lot of married females undergo breast augmentation surgery for restoring the firmness of their sagging breasts. The next thing they go for is the face lift as that removes the wrinkles and the faces looks very young. The posterior part of the body is also another area where females feel the need for surgery and that is why butt lift is now becoming increasingly common.<br /><br />After pregnancy effects can lead a female to a plastic surgeon. After pregnancy , the breasts become fuller and especially once the females stop breast feeding the breasts lose their shape. To correct this shape the only option is to have a breast lift along with the breast enhancement.<br /><br />To have that perfect smile is a dream come true. The answer to get that perfect smile is a visit to the cosmetic dentist who can easily fix your teeth and help you get that smile which we see on each and every Hollywood actress.<br /><br />There is an alternative to all this which is having good diet and exercising regularly. That can help females look young and healthy. A tough option but an option worth trying for to counter the effects of aging.But there is no alternative to changing your looks which is a genetic thing apart from cosmetic surgery.<br /><br />The author writes about New York City Blepharoplasty and has a resource to help Manhattan people looking for NewYork City Blepharoplasty surgeons.<br /><br /> <br />By Alka Kheterpallalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158749087729391223.post-66000562666205474812008-07-27T23:09:00.000-07:002008-07-27T23:10:50.604-07:00The Ripple Effect of Saline Breast AugmentationSaline-filled breast implants typically have some amount of rippling or wrinkling which is not usually seen with silicone gel breast implants. (although it can still occur) This is particularly evident in women with thin skin and very little breast tissue. Implant wrinkling is felt on the bottom and sides of the breasts and can be seen as patterned set of lines visible through the breast skin. Breast implant wrinkling is usually most visible in certain positions, particularly when one is leaning forward or lying on your back. Wrinkles on a saline breast implant may be only a minor cosmetic issue (if you were informed before surgery) or might be a source of major unhappiness and be the reason to undergo revision surgery.<br />Rippling occurs as a result of the physical interface between the saline and the elastic silicone polymer shell. The exact reason wrinkling of the breast implant occurs has to do with how well the filler material coats the inside of the implant and bonds to it as well as its own viscosity. Water (or saltwater) flows easily and does not 'stick' well to the inside wall of the breast implant shell, resulting in implant buckling and folding. This is a normal finding with saline breast implants and its presence is not abnormal or the plastic surgeon's fault. Placement of saline breast implants above the muscle is also much more likely to lead to visible implant wrinkling in thin individuals as there is little breast tissue to cover the visible ripples and there is no pressure on the implant from the overlying muscle. Textured saline implants are particularly prone to rippling due to their thicker shell (harder for the water to push it out) and due to traction from the implant grabbing the thicker non-stretchable surrounding scar that it creates. The combination of textured saline breast implants above the muscle has the highest incidence of significant wrinkling issues.<br />Established ways to diminish the amount of wrinkling which can occur are to overfill the breast implant with more saline than the implant base size (increase the internal fluid pressure) and to place the saline breast implants under the muscle. (which puts more pressure on the outside of the implant). Both of these methods do lead to less wrinkling, but neither can completely prevent it. Overfilling a breast implant with too much saline will make it feel more firm than normal breast tissue, although this is generally well accepted by most patients. The best approach for prevention is to use non-textured (smooth) saline implants placed under the muscle which are then filled 25 to 50cc more than its base size. While all implant wrinkling can not be prevented with saline fills, a significant reduction can be seen in most patients with this approach.<br />Dr Barry Eppley is a board-certified plastic surgeon in private practice in Indianapolis, Indiana at Clarian Health Systems.

The old stories about aging movie stars who sneak off to Switzerland to have face lifts may once have been true.<br /><br />Yet today, having cosmetic surgery abroad is not only de-stigmatized, but is openly promoted. Since American insurance companies and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) will not cover elective cosmetic procedures, it is financially prudent to have your surgery abroad in a fully accredited medical center staffed with board-certified surgeons who maintain an outstanding standard of care that is comparable to any major medical facility in the United States.<br /><br />If you elect to have cosmetic surgery abroad, distinguished medical facilities perform many kinds of procedures including dental correction and lasix eye surgery.<br /><br />One of the most popular cosmetic procedures is blepharoplasty; this is eyelid surgery that is designed to remove the excess skin, fat and drooping muscles around your upper and lower eyelids.<br /><br />This condition is often referred to as "hooded eyes" and can make you appear constantly fatigued or older than you really are. Having this type of cosmetic surgery abroad is completely safe and effective when performed at a state-of-the-art medical center with a board-certified surgeon.<br /><br />Another very popular type of cosmetic surgery abroad is abdominoplasty; this procedure is commonly known as a "tummy tuck." It removes excess skin and fat in your abdomen that can occur after pregnancy, after a substantial weight loss, or upon aging.<br /><br />This is not a simple procedure and should never be performed by an unqualified surgeon or at a sub-standard foreign medical center. When you have this type of cosmetic surgery abroad at a top-quality facility, you can be assured of only the best surgical and follow-up nursing care.<br /><br />Breast augmentation is one of the most common types of cosmetic surgery. Although it is widely performed in the United States, it is not covered by insurance companies or HMOs since it is an elective surgery. Having breast augmentation at a high-quality foreign medical facility is much less expensive than having the procedure done in America.<br /><br />Our high cost of living is what drives the price of breast augmentation and other surgeries so very high. Having this cosmetic surgery abroad is very affordable since the local cost of living is lower and there is no tax involved.<br /><br />There are many excellent reasons why you should choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad; the most essential detail of your surgery depends upon doing your homework about the accreditation of the foreign medical facility and the qualifications of the medical staff.<br /><br />Beautiful You Holidays is one of the first and unique world renowned medical organizations in Malaysia, specializing in Cosmetic Surgery Abroad.

Every year, thousands of women make the decision to undergo this procedure. The reasons that drive them forward, however, are as varied as women themselves.<br /><br />According to Australia's Department of Health and Aging, there are several predominate reasons women cite for undergoing breast augmentation surgery. They include:<br /><br />Cosmetics - Many women choose to have breast augmentation surgery simply to improve the appearance and/or size of their breasts. Cosmetic motivators are common for women who feel their breasts are too small, too misshapen or even asymmetrical. It is not uncommon for women who have had children to seek out breast augmentation to increase lift and reduce sag. This surgery, when performed by a skilled surgeon, can dramatically improve and enhance breast appearance. When breast augmentation is performed for cosmetic reasons, a self-esteem improving factor also tends to come into play. The surgery itself is not a panacea, but it can have a big impact on self-esteem.<br /><br />Reconstruction - Some women elect to have breast augmentation surgery following a mastectomy. Although reconstruction is not 100 percent necessary following mastectomy, this surgery can give cancer survivors a more natural appearance and help them overcome self-esteem issues that can arise as a result of mastectomies.<br /><br />Replacement - Many breast augmentation procedures are performed to replace existing implants that were put into place either for cosmetic or medical reasons.<br /><br />Correction - Women who face congenital deformities in their breasts often opt for augmentation to gain a natural appearance.<br /><br />DECIDING IF BREAST AUGMENTATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU<br /><br />Breast augmentation surgery can give a woman a fuller, more symmetrical and even natural appearance. Whatever your reasons for considering this surgery, it is important to make sure this is the best option for you. While breast augmentation can greatly enhance appearance and boost self-esteem, it is not a miracle cure for what ails you. The best surgeons will make it clear that breast augmentation is an enhancement, not a life changing move, per say. While it can have very positive effects on confidence levels, breast augmentation will not change who you are on the inside.<br /><br />To decide if breast augmentation is right for you, consider:<br /><br />Your motivations - Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure. With this in mind, it is very wise to examine personal motivations closely.<br /><br />The risks - The risks of breast augmentation surgery are very minimal when a skilled surgeon and staff oversee the procedure. Still, weighing the risks with the potential benefits is always in order if surgery is under consideration.<br /><br />The goals - If breast augmentation surgery is desired to improve appearance and add to confidence, the goals will likely be met. Goals, however, should be realistic and they should be conveyed clearly to the surgeon. It is terribly important that both the patient and the surgeon are on the same page in regard to outcome expectations.<br /><br />There are a host of reasons to consider breast augmentation surgery. When women approach the topic with an open mind and honesty, many find this enhancement is one that can improve appearance, boost self-esteem and just simply help increase confidence.<br /><br />By Dr Zion Chanlalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158749087729391223.post-58844358166024577302008-05-27T01:01:00.000-07:002008-05-27T01:02:01.954-07:00Cosmetic Surgery For The FaceSome individuals may not be contented on the how their facial appearance looks like. The option to solve this issue is to consider a facial cosmetic surgery. There are surgical procedures that can be done for the face such as face lift as well as eyelid surgery or someone may opt for a non-surgical method like Botox or cosmetic fillers.<br /><br />Rhytidectomy or face lift is among the popular facial surgical procedures that are done on many people. If you like to do a face lift, you must remember certain things like your age, the current physical shape of your face, your bone structure, skin concerns like coloring and the texture. Consider also to be realistic. Choosing a reliable plastic surgeon that has enough experience in face lifts are very essential because it is your physical appearance that is at risk. Prepare also to pay costly price if your insurance won't cover the procedure. This won't prevent aging to happen; therefore it is still required for you to continue doing your skin care.<br /><br />Face lift functions on the lower area of the face and brow lift would do a great job on the upper part of the face. Brow lift is usually done with face lift, though the customer may choose to have that procedure alone. This will fix the appearance of the forehead furrows, sagging eyebrows and frown lines.<br /><br />You may choose also to use fillers to fix the soft tissue contour flaws like wrinkles and folds.

Some who experience plastic surgery for the first time may go for another session until they get addicted with the procedures. Usually, these addicts have an ideal outlook of what they want to get with the surgeries.<br /><br />Undergoing through any plastic surgery isn't so negative as for some people may think it is. There are essential benefits that a person may achieve once he or she decided to go on a particular plastic surgery. Children who are born with serious deformities may require undergoing plastic surgery to provide them the acceptance that they should acquire with the public. We can't deny the fact that the majority of the people on earth prioritize the appearance of a person and certain deformities are very attention catcher and most of the people who have these may feel inferior. Plastic surgery would be essential for people who are experiencing these cases.<br /><br />But why do other beautiful and normal individuals still choose to have plastic surgery?

You must know what to ask, and know whom to ask. Only then can you confidently proceed with the transformation procedure.<br /><br />In the complex arena of cosmetic surgery, there are several different procedures and each procedure requires a specialist surgeon as well. Even more certain than the number of surgeons themselves, is the number of specialists who are competent and will provide similar, if not the same results.<br /><br />Asking questions is perhaps the most useful way to get information about good cosmetic surgeons. And who better to ask than patients who have undergone cosmetic surgery and are willing to share their pleasant or not-so-pleasant experiences with you. Your regular doctor or gynecologist is also a good source of advice. If you visit hospitals, then you can try speaking to other surgeons or hospital staff that work daily in close proximity to such surgical procedures and are a wealth of information on the possible results.<br /><br />Collate as much information as you can from newspaper articles, magazines and even Internet portals.<br /><br />Before you arrange a consultation, make sure you have read brochures or pamphlets that describe the surgeon's experience, area of expertise and specializations. If they have web sites of their own, please ensure you have gone through those as well. Many doctors charge a fee for the initial consultation even if you decide not to proceed with the surgery, so obtain this information beforehand and keep an eye out for such details while researching for your queries. Do not concentrate on a single doctor, but try and make a list of three-four doctors who can handle your needs.<br /><br />Do not decide upon the cosmetic surgeon you'd like to operate on you on your very first visit. See a few doctors and then decide. Non-invasive procedures are different from invasive ones and do not carry as many risks. Even if you feel confident with your first doctor, meet a few more and then confirm your decision. Wise decision are not made on impulse but through careful thought.<br /><br />What is most important, however, is that you feel comfortable with the doctor who will operate on you body. You must trust them to take their advice and follow it. The doctors should also be sensitive enough to understand your needs and educate you on the risks and consequences involved in the treatment. If you do not feel very sure about your choice of doctor, do not commit to any procedure. Make sure all the paperwork regarding fees and hospital bills is completed before the surgeries.<br /><br />Given below is list of must-asks for anyone considering a cosmetic surgery:<br /><br />* What is the doctor's qualification?<br /><br />* Which associations is he a member of?<br /><br />* How long has he been practicing and in which area?<br /><br />* What does he recommend for you and why?<br /><br />* How many similar operations has he performed in the last year?<br /><br />* Where will the operation take place?<br /><br />* What kind of anesthesia will be administered and by whom? (The anesthetist is as important during a surgery as he surgeon)<br /><br />* How long will the surgery be?<br /><br />* Will overnight stay at the hospital be involved?<br /><br />* How many incisions will be required and where?<br /><br />* What is time of recovery including leave from work and complete healing?<br /><br />* How long will the results last?<br /><br />* Are there any available photographs of patients both pre-suregery and post-surgery?<br /><br />* What are the results you can expect to see?<br /><br />* Has there ever been any legal action pursued against the doctor because of a surgery he has performed?<br /><br />* Is there any outstanding case against the doctor? (Confirm this with the General Medical Council)<br /><br />Do not feel embarrassed or afraid to ask such questions. A qualified doctor will appreciate these concerns and allay your fears before the surgery.<br /><br />Learn more about chin lifts cosmetic surgery and the procedures involved in plastic surgery eye lift when you visit http://www.enhancivesurgery.com, the online portal of cosmetic surgery recuperation and aftercare.<br /><br /> <br />By Dr. Paul Smithlalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158749087729391223.post-67708223906019530822008-05-25T18:56:00.000-07:002008-05-25T18:57:56.663-07:00Cosmetic Surgery PackagesThe popularity of cosmetic surgery is unstoppable.

Though there are other factors at play here, many choose to undergo procedures meant to enhance their appearance to feel more comfortable with themselves. It is this desire that has etched a unique place in the medical industry.<br /><br />Cosmetic plastic surgery is a booming business in the medical world, with numerous doctors, surgeons, and medical personnel focused on helping their patients to attain their desired look. There are of course benefits as well as risks that must be considered prior to allowing cosmetic plastic surgery into your life, or under your skin. With this in mind, there are a number of reasons why people look for ways to improve, alter, or change their appearance. It is important to get clear on the motives behind any surgical operation and be 100% clear on the risks and benefits associated with it. Understanding what the procedure will do for you and how it will benefit your health is a great way to make sure that the procedure is mandatory for your peace and wellbeing. All too often procedures are undergone without a solid understanding of the purpose or the risks. Since there is no 100% guarantee as to how the body will handle or respond to any given surgical procedure, it is always important to understand how the procedure might potentially change not only your appearance but your life.<br /><br />The benefits associated with cosmetic plastic surgery are primarily psychological ones. For many, the alterations that are made possible by advancements in medical technology and the experience of surgeons make creating a more pleasing appearance easier and more minimally invasive in some ways. Depending on the procedure at hand, patients are offered ways minimize their recovery time as well as pain and swelling, blood loss, and a number of adverse side effects. For many, altering their appearance, especially where there is some deformity or lack of function in a body part can contribute to a happier and more comfortable body image. This benefit is often all patients need to undergo a cosmetic procedure, and the psychological effects of feeling insecure and self-conscious day in and day out are not the key to a happy life. Rather, where there are options to alter the appearance of the body, and when that appearance brings great emotional suffering, a patient may opt to undergo cosmetic plastic surgery.<br /><br />With all surgeries there are risks, as mentioned, and it is vital that patients make responsible and informed decisions about their health and their wellbeing. There are a number of helpful and quality surgeons out there and the key is finding them. As with any prevalent business, there are a number of so-called medical professionals who are not credible and who do not perform par excellence. With this in mind, patients must be suspicious and research and ask questions throughout the process. This is the best way to ensure that cosmetic plastic surgery will go well.<br /><br />By Elisa Cruzlalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158749087729391223.post-24891276691387579372008-05-22T20:23:00.001-07:002008-05-22T20:23:47.498-07:00Plastic Surgeons Offer Custom Calf ImplantsFor many, the use of cosmetic surgery is a viable option to help alter any emotional or mental challenges associated with image related insecurity. Cosmetic surgery has come a long way and plastic surgeons are using some of the most advanced technology available to keep their patients looking and feeling their very best.<br /><br />The option of calf implants is not necessarily a common request in the cosmetic surgery world but it certainly is an available procedure which many have sought out. Calf implants are a way to gain thicker, fuller, and more muscular looking calves. There are a number of different reasons why one would seek out calf implants. For many, the desire to have proportionate looking calves as opposed to the rest of the body, in particular the thighs and buttocks, is an important part of the aesthetic image. Men and women alike can seek out calf implants to find a way to alter the balance and structure of the calf area. The surgical procedure itself requires an experienced and special cosmetic surgeon who is familiar with the implantation of synthetic calves. The calves themselves are comprised of silicone and must be fitted to meet the patient's body shape and type. This is obviously a meticulous procedure that is best left to a professional who is familiar with the process. Obviously, it is best to seek out a cosmetic surgeon who performs the procedure on a regular basis. Asking plenty of questions is always a good idea, so that the patient can be fully informed throughout the entire surgery.<br /><br />During the recovery period after the surgery, patients must first allow the legs to heal from the initial surgical procedure. This includes any pain, swelling, bruising, stitches, and the overall healing of the skin. This can take a few weeks to be fully healed but every body is different. During this period, any movement that stresses the wounds is discouraged and the legs should be elevated most of the time. Only short walking distances should be managed and nothing long distance which can put stress on the legs or cause blood to pool in the lower half of the legs. The legs should be treated with care. Following this initial period, the patient must gain the composure necessary to move around at higher rates and for longer periods of time with the new implants in place. Since the skin around the surgery area will need time to adjust to the new calf implants, the patient may notice some tightening in the area as it heals. This is normal and will subside as the skin gets used to the new shape underneath. Patients should not engage in any rough or extensive activity which requires heavy use of the legs for at least a month or perhaps longer depending on your body's healing capacity. Each patient is different. Furthermore, any scarring on the leg will need to be treated with a scar cream which will prevent any marks. It is thus also good to avoid heavy sun exposure while the skin is healing and scars are being removed with medications.<br /><br />By Elisa Cruzlalabell14@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920362510020651noreply@blogger.com
