			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a trend for women (actually many would say young women or girls) to be undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures.  These girls are often in their teen years and are getting cosmetic surgery done with the consent of their parents.  When is it to young for surgery ?  These girls feel that cosmetic surgery may lead to a potential life as a model or beauty queen or celebrity of some sort and thus they are choosing to go under the knife.  Is this worth the risk ?  What does this say about us as a society and our obsession with physical beauty and outward appearance and celebrity ?  Watch this video as this young lady describes her choice to undergo several different cosmetic surgical procedures.  A super model body and look at what financial cost and at what risk to one&#8217;s health and long term well being ?</p>

Watch a real world Hooter&#8217;s girls get a breast augmentation and a nose job (rhinoplasty).  These young beauties apparently feel they&#8217;re not hot enough and want the cosmetic surgeon to give them a competitive edge by enhancing their features with cosmetic (also called plastic) surgery.  Cosmetic procedures are an elective surgery procedure - meaning these young Hooter&#8217;s beauties are willing to pay out of pocket to surgically enhance their look.  Fortunately, cosmetic surgery financing is an option now days which helps some by allowing them to pay off their multi thousand dollar procedures on a month to month payment plan basis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would one expect to be the most rapidly growing field in the plastic surgery medical sciences?  Answer- The post bariatric body contour.  This rapidly gorwing field of expertise is being largely driven by the success of the gastric bypass and lap band surgical weight loss procedures.  These two surgical techniques accounted for a total of over 100,000 completed procedures in just the United States in the past 3 years.  The proliferation of these weight loss surgical procedures has resulted in a very large post surgical population that has lost 100 pounds or more per individual.<br />
While the health benefits of these dramatic weight loss procedures is saving people’s lives who had suffered for years with morbid obesity- the cosmetic damage done to the body done by carrying very large amounts of weight is often difficult to reverse.  During the weight gaining process the epidermis has been expanded, while the dermis has been stretched to the point of actually splitting.  The result is permanent stretch marks.  Upon completion of the weight loss afforded by gastric bypass or lap band surgery, the patient ends up with literally large amounts of loose and hanging skin.  This is certainly not attractive and leaves a cosmetic flaw that affects the patients overall outlook on life despite having been successful at losing a large amount of weight.<br />
The result is a growing number of specialized cosmetic physicians, clinics, spas and medical practices that are tailoring their expertise to tummy tucks, body lifts, thigh lifts, breast lifts, arm lifts and face lifts all designed to aid patients who have recently undergone a large weight loss.  There is an entire movement of organized plastic surgery and medical companies that are gearing up to reach out and try and capture this growing market segment of their industry.<br />
Always consult only a licensed medical doctor or similar medical facility before undergoing any medical procedure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Several news agencies are reporting that the cosmetic surgeon who taped the late <strong>Anna Nicole Smith&#8217;s</strong> <a href="http://www.dryoun.com/bhb-proc-breast.htm">breast augmentation</a> surgery may be attempting to sell the tape to a memorabilia dealer. A judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the release of the 1994 tape at the request of Howard K. Stern. The surgeon stated that he routinely records surgeries with the patient&#8217;s permission and promised to keep the video confidential &#8220;during the patient&#8217;s lifetime.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is actually a very common medical practice for the doctor to take before and after photos of surgery patients, and only use the photos with their consent.  This would appear to be a breach of medical privacy laws and certainly just plain old sleazy on the part of Anna&#8217;s former cosmetic surgeon.  Either way, Anna has a pair of female features that men still just love to love.</p>

If Ann had a <a href="http://www.beverlyhillsbeauty.com/bhb-proc-breast.htm">breast augmentation</a>, she has nice, modest size implants that take her from an A to a B.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="entry">
<p>The simple answer is yes !</p>
<p>Breast enhancement is one easy way to obtain immediate gratification to improve your self-confidence and image. Breast augmentation recovery involves the importance of resting, taking medication, not lifting weights or exercising, use of compression garment, and then a good bra. However, many people may not understand the importance of finding a post surgery bra that fits properly and gives you the correct amount of support.</p>
<p>Advantages to the Right Post Breast Surgery Bra<br />
The right after breast augmentation bra does not only reduces swelling, but positions the breasts correctly on the chest, shortens recovery time, improves blood circulation, and helps to flush potentially harming body fluid to help maintain beautiful breasts. Alternatively, if you are not wearing suitable garment, you may end up with a backache, thinning skin on your breasts, and or sagging breast, and no women wants that!</p>
<p>Breast Augmentation Recovery Garments are part of your post follow up:</p>
<p>Your bra size and type will vary throughout the healing process. In the beginning of recovery, you want to ensure you have the best support possible with the littlest amount of pain. Your plastic surgeon will advise compression garment. Compression garments assist in minimizing the throbbing sensation, discomfort, and pain. After your first week or so of breast augmentation surgery, another type of support garment may be suggested by your plastic surgeon and the final suggestion might be a sports bra. Sport bras firmly hold the breasts in place providing comfort, with a little less support then a compression garment, but still just enough. Soon enough you will be ready for a no under wire bra with less reinforcement.</p>
<p>Bra Selection for Breast Augmentation Patients is something you should discuss with your breast enhancement physician and post care nurse. Leslie Montana discussed her bra needs with her follow up nurse and found a wealth of information and brochures available.</p>
<p>Selecting the right bra is not always the easiest thing to do after a breast augmentation. However, it is possible. There are many factors that can help you in finding the bra that best fits your new breast augmentation look. When deciding on the right bra, you want to keep in mind not only the band and cup size determine if it is appropriate for you, but also the location of your breasts as they sit in the cup and how they are positioned. Additionally, bras with under wire are not to be worn prior to six weeks after your procedure and then on are only to be worn on occasion.</p>
<p>Always consult a licenses physician or similar medical care provider before undergoing any medical procedure.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are countless treatments that are available in the medical field that have been created to combat aging and other topical looks of the skin. These treatments come from various medical fraternities across the globe and some are more effective than some. One of the  newest medical procedures that is used to fight skin aging and skin rejuvenation is called photofacial. This treatment claims to reverse all things related to the skin using a new and unique procedure.</p>
<p>Photofacial is the use of light to reverse the look and damaged caused to the skin by the sun or other environmental factors. The results from this treatment will allow the skin to have a more youthful looking skin and will make the individual the envy of their peers.</p>
<p>The photofacial system works by a device that emits a series of gentle pulsed light treatments that is focused on the damaged area of the skin. The wavelength of this light, unlike a laser treatment, penetrates the skin way below the epidermis due to the various wavelengths that is associated with this treatment. The length of time for the treatment to be successful is around 3 weeks, where the individual needs to come in for a series of 5 or more treatments to ensure that their skin can look the best.</p>
<p>Photofacial is not without its downside, and this is what we call side effects. Fortunately the side effects from using this skin treatment are very mild, and cause very little discomfort. What&#8217;s usually associated with the photofacial treatment is redness of the skin. This usually occurs right after the person receives the treatment. This usually lasts a day, but there have been occasions where individuals have stated that they experience redness for a longer period of time. Another side effect is the blistering of the skin. This is due to the use of the low energy light and the reaction of the skin to this treatment. Aside from blistering, the skin will also face some amount of swelling; however this will depend on the person and their skin type.</p>
<p>In a market that is overloaded of devices, procedures and techniques that are used to reverse the look of skin aging, very few stand out. Each one claims to be the brand new thing, that will revolutionize the market and allow youthfulness to be achieved after a few treatments. The new kid on the block, Photofacial claims to achieve all of this, by using a brand new system. A series of lights should be able to reverse the aging of skin and make it look youthful and fresh. The system is not without its side effects, but these are very minor and will not cause substantial damage to the skin or the individual.</p>
<p>Always consult a licensed medical doctor or similar professional before undergoing any medical procedure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Breast reduction, also known as Reduction Mammoplasty, accounts for over 81,300 procedures performed each year, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This is a very significant number and represents women with larger breast sizes usually a C or D cup or larger. The majority of patients are looking for a C cup bra which is usually the right cup size to alleviate pain associated with enlarged breasts, improve body proportions and offer complimentary appearance . Breast reduction surgery is offered to improve the patients quality of life.</p>
<p>Dr.  Levin has found that individuals usually seek breast reduction because of medical conditions associated with enlarged breasts, including, back, neck and shoulders pain or discomfort. Other symptoms resulting from enlarged breasts are: shoulder indentations from wearing bras, discoloration of the skin, inframammary rash, kiposis, mastodynia (breast pain), and a psychological impact due to esthetic considerations. Some of these conditions often cause interference with daily life activities.</p>
<p>Breast reduction may be performed on patients 16 years of age or older. A significant breast reduction equates to excision of more than 500 gr (1 pound) of glandular tissue in each breast. Extreme cases involve an excision of 5 pounds or more. Typically breast reduction surgery is done under intra Venus sedation or General Anesthesia. In some cases, breast reduction can be accomplished under local anesthesia.</p>
<p>Breast incisions are typically located around the areolas and an inverted T incision under the areolas.
