If Inverted Nipples are Keeping You Down, Help is on the Way!

October 18, 2012 by

While the issue of inverted nipples tends to remain a seldom-discussed topic in conversation, approximately 2 percent of women face this problem every time they look in the mirror. Help is on the way! Today’s market for cosmetic surgery continues to grow giving women an opportunity to change imperfections that hold them back from living the lives they dream.

An inverted nipple is a nipple that has the opposite appearance of a normal nipple. It is flat with a pressed in nature. With inverted nipple correction, an incision is made in the areola giving access for the surgeon to reposition the nipple in an outward facing fashion. As with any incision at this site, future breastfeeding may not be an option so discuss the pros and cons during consultation prior to cosmetic surgery. Even with three different grades of inverted nipples, each type can be corrected through inverted nipple surgery. While this may not be as noticeable a result for everyone to see, a mini face lift might give that youthful look to perfectly compliment the newly boosted self-esteem.

A mini face lift is a smaller version of the traditional face lift. It uses smaller incisions and pinpoints a specific trouble spot. By focusing on only one imperfection, the surgeon can achieve the desired look of the client and do so in a more subtle fashion. The recovery period for a mini face lift is shorter than the traditional face lift. This improved period of recovery has made the mini face lift sometimes called the “weekend face lift.” The subtle changes found in the results of the mini face lift offer a more consistently youthful appearance for clients. This procedure can improve problem areas such as the jowls, nasolabial folds or trouble spots in the neck.

Why Use a Cosmetic Surgery Forum

July 27, 2012 by

There are many reasons why people find the need to join online forums. These reasons vary wildly but the end purpose is generally the same. These people desire to find common ground with someone or to find an easily located site on the web for informative purposes. The most cited reasons to use a cosmetic surgery forum are for support, information, and trading stories.

Support oriented sites come in two main varieties. The primary purpose of a support site is to offer something akin to group support. These sites allow people to come together to discuss reasons for choosing cosmetic surgery and might be therapeutic if something went wrong during one. Other support purposes of this type also include simply finding people that have already had similar cosmetic work done on them in an effort to find out further information. The second type of support site is one that is attached to a main website such as a surgeon’s home page, or one that belongs to an insurance company. These discuss cosmetic surgery as well as particular information about the surgeon, insurance, etc.

Information based forums are quite simple to discern. These forum types are primarily focused on providing information on specific or general cosmetic surgery. They might have detailed information on a given surgery, or provide a list of competent surgeons in a particular area of the country or world at large.

Cosmetic surgery forum sites that are focused on trading stories between individuals that have undergone or are considering undergoing cosmetic plastic surgery. These stories can be positive experiences or highly negative in tone depending on how a particular surgery went. A sub-current of some of these folders are cosmetic surgery forums that focus entirely on black market horror stories of cosmetic surgeries gone terribly wrong.

Cosmetic Surgery Developments

March 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Although the popularity of cosmetic surgery might seem like a modern phenomenon, you might be surprised to learn that it has actually been around for centuries, growing and developing into the multi-million pound industry we see today. Initially it began as a means to repair cosmetic damage caused in battle and came from necessity rather than aesthetic concerns.

The first real use of reconstructive surgery is thought to have taken place around 800 BC in India where surgeons grafted from the shoulder to repair the nose of a person who had had theirs removed as punishment. These techniques were later picked up by the Romans who travelled to India in order to learn about rhinoplasty and other procedures. These ideas were outlined in Aulus Cornelius Celsus’ “De Medicina” and were quickly taken up by physicians across Europe. There is also evidence to suggest that the Ancient Egyptians were also utilizing plastic surgery techniques during this time.

After this progress in medicine took somewhat of a backseat as mysticism and religion once again took over during the middle-ages. It was not until the Renaissance that more advances were made in surgical development with safer techniques. In the fifteenth century Serafeddin Sabuncuoglu wrote “Imperial Surgery” which outlined ideas about maxillofacial and eyelid surgery and laid the foundations for modern surgical breast reduction techniques.

Cosmetic surgery took a back seat again for the majority of the 17th century, and although it did briefly gain popularity once again during the 18th, there were no really significant developments until the 20th when war once again made reconstructive surgery a necessity. Military doctors were forced to treat injuries the like of which had never been seen before, brought about through the advance of modern weaponry and forced new innovations and techniques to heal wounded soldiers.

These developments continued into the 21st century and are still gaining momentum today. Thanks to new laboratory equipment, understanding of infection prevention and the use of anesthesia, the science has been able to develop to a point where, in March 2012, the world’s first ever full face transplant was deemed successful.

Medical Mission to Ethiopia

July 26, 2010 by

Ethiopia is a country that has a very high rate of people living in poverty. Along with poverty , comes many diseases because the people cannot afford to treat infections. A disease called Noma has infected many people in this country. This is a very deadly disease that only attacks the face. The disease eats away flesh from the face similar to the way gangrene would. There is a one out of ten chance that an infected person will survive this disease. Those that do survive will still have severely disfigured faces. The only actual treatment for this disease is surgery and antibiotics. In the later stages of this disease it is difficult or impossible to talk or eat. There are so many diseases in Ethiopia, 90% of children do not even make it to their first birthday.

A plastic surgeon that runs a Leeds cosmetic surgery clinic came up with the idea of a charity act to help the unfortunate people. Le Roux Fourie Plastic Surgeon and several other surgeons made a trip to help some of the people living with Noma. The trip lasted ten days, the first few days were used to determine which people would be good candidates for the surgery. Many of the people were already past the stage where the surgeons would be able to help.

They ended up helping 44 people in the ten days they were there. Many people required two surgeries, one to remove the infected skin, and the other to reconstruct the face. When this trip was finished, they decided to organize another. They wanted to keep helping the people in Ethiopia. They planned a total of three trips to Ethiopia during the first year. There are so many more people left to help, the surgeons will probably continue to donate their time.

Laser hair removal is becoming more common

June 2, 2010 by

Laser hair removal is not as new as some people might think.  One of the first treatments experimented with when studying the potential applications of lasers was that of hair removal and growth prevention as well as treatments for infertility.  The treatment was extensively tested before its first commercial availability in the mid nineties.

These days it is becoming a more and more common procedure, accepted as a relatively safe and very effective way of permanently reducing or stopping hair growth in targeted areas it is now available at high street clinics across the developed world.

By targeting and heating the hair follicles while avoiding damage to the skin, the lasers can be used to only injure the hairs and prevent their growth and not or hurt the patient’s skin.  This works best on dark haired patients with light skin although there are now machines available which can operate effectively on those with dark skin as well.  It does not however, work with blonde or red hair.

There is no need for people to be put off by the results they may have seen on people who have had lasers used for tattoo removal, there the laser is being used to break down pigmentation in the skin and this is what causes the lightening effect that some may experience in areas treated.  This should not happen with hair treatment as the follicles are being targeted, not the skin.

Medical treatment Safety

June 2, 2010 by

The safety of treatment is always of paramount importance, both to patients and the facilities offering their services. All medical treatment carries a risk of complication, however minuscule, yet science and medicine continue to advance so that patients need not worry strenuously over safety.

Experience and Accreditation

One of the most important factors in any procedure is the reliability of the doctor or specialist carrying out the treatment. When looking for a specialist in laser hair removal or tattoo removal, it is important to feel comfortable with the person in question. Ask about their relevant experience, and any evidence (certificates; titles) that they present to you. They should be happy to answer your queries, and ideally should have years of experience in the field. Accreditation is also vital for doctors and services in many areas, and it is recommended to find out about the status of an infertility doctor or any type of surgeon.

Equipment and Medicine

Even the best doctor in the world would struggle with poor equipment, so in the case of laser hair removal or similar treatments it is worth researching laser types. Accreditation, if used in your area, can often be a good guide to a hospital or clinic’s standing. In terms of medicine, doctors will always explain any risk factors or possible side effects beforehand. Many of the most widespread fertility drugs have been used safely for over three decades, with substantial figures and studies displaying their safety record.

Costs of a Nose Job

May 28, 2010 by

The cost of a nose job can vary from expensive to very expensive. However, it depends on what type of nose surgery that is being done, the soft rhinoplasty or the hard rhinoplasty. There are many other factors that contribute into the price of a nose job.

Is the rhinoplasty a revision? If so, then the fees for the nose job can get a bit more expensive. The reason for this is the risks become higher when revisions are made to an old nose job.
What are the surgeon’s consultation fees? Depending on which surgeon one goes to will determine on the prices of the fees associated with his or her consultation. It also depends on how many consultations a surgeon would like to have with a rhinoplasty patient before and after surgery.

What are the costs of the hospital or facility? In most cases after a rhinoplasty surgery the patient will have to spend at least two nights in the hospital or facility for observation.

Nose job prices also depend on the experience the surgeon has. The more experienced the surgeon the expensive the surgery. Also, the location where you have the surgery will affect the price of the nose job. The bigger the city, the more experience a surgeon will have, so the prices will tend to be higher.
If having rhinoplasty surgery for medical reasons, such as breathing better some of the costs may be covered by an insurance company. However, if only for cosmetic reasons nose jobs will have to come out of the patients pocket.

Rhinoplasty surgery cost range is usually between $4,000 and $12,000. The average cost from start to finish is around $5,500. The fees for the surgeon, anesthesiologist and facility are all figured into the total average cost of a nose job.
