Quickie Boob Jobs:

The substance called hyaluronic acid finds application in many cosmetic enhancement surgeries and treatments and is poised to become as indispensable as botulinum toxin. The naturally occurring substance is procured from the connective tissue in the human body and when injected suffuses the area with volume and lends shape to that region.

Used primarily to plump lips and fill wrinkles and concave scars, plastic surgeons have found a very unusual use for hyaluronic acid in breast augmentation surgery. The 30-minute boob job as it has been dubbed promises to increase the breast size by a cup.

Medical circles refer to this non-surgical breast augmentation procedure as a Macrolane treatment. A few injections of the substance allow the plastic surgeon to shape the breasts and bestow the patient with the desired cleavage.

Compared to a surgical breast enhancement procedure, Macrolane treatments require regular touch-ups. Another minimally invasive method to augment breast size has also been devised by the breast implant manufacturer Mentor which allows the plastic surgeon to adjust breast size six months after a breast implant surgery by way of a specially fitted implant.

The field of plastic surgery is constantly devising ways to make the pain and discomfort associated with major surgeries like breast enhancement less. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we stay abreast of the latest developments so that we can enhance the lives of our patients further.

Breast Surgery In A Surgeon’s Office – Is It Safe?:

The sad demise of the Florida teenager has left many professional plastic surgeons and the medical authorities locked in a debate over the suitability of performing certain plastic surgery procedures in the surgeon’s office.

Plastic surgery boards like the ASPS maintain that a plastic surgery procedure can be performed in an office setting safely and efficiently. In 2003, the official ASPS journal published a study which reviewed plastic surgery performed on 5,316 patients and found less than one percent suffering from complications.

However, the ASPS also exhorts surgeons to conduct an exhaustive preoperative medical examination of the patient and evaluate his/her suitability for such a cosmetic procedure. According to the ASPS, such precautions help plastic surgeons “identify conditions that may predispose the patient to intraoperative and postoperative complications”.

While Florida’s Board of Medicine is in sync with these views, researchers maintain otherwise. A major elective surgery procedure like breast augmentation or breast reduction can be performed on an outpatient basis, but requires meticulous patient health scanning on part of the doctor.

As a patient, it is tremendously important that you furnish your plastic surgeon Pasadena with a complete medical history of your family as well as your own. The joy of getting an enhanced body can be greatly magnified when the precautions taken against complications pay off.

Breast Augmentation For The Small-chested:

Plastic surgeons world-wide prefer their breast augmentation patients to have a bit more of body muscle and tissue mass in their chest area for good breast surgery results.

However, for those patients who wanted a breast augmentation but fell short on the required tissue mass, the submuscular implant technique was developed by cosmetic surgeons. This particular cosmetic surgery technique inserts the breast implant behind the chest muscle wall. This muscle wall consists of the pectoralis major muscle, the connective tissue in the breast area and the non-pectoral group of muscles.

The great part about this technique is its non-interference in a breast examination or mammography. The resulting shape of the breast is smooth and more defined as well. Since the breasts are separate from the breast tissue they are less liable to pose an obstacle to lactation.

There are certain drawbacks of this breast surgery technique though, the effects of which differ widely. Anesthesia is difficult to achieve during surgery making it important to tell your plastic surgeon about any inherited problems you may have. And as much as the muscles aid in keeping the implants safe, they are also known to push the implant to far down the chest.

Get Educated About Breadloafing:

Reader warning: This post does not contain a recipe for some new baking technique or a way of passing time.

Moving on, breadloafing is a colloquial term for a rare breast augmentation surgery complication called synmastia. The condition causes the breast implants to shift to the center of the chest giving the appearance of a singular mass of breast tissue without a definite cleavage.

For breast surgery patients who have had special work done for enhancing their cleavage, this complication will be rather disappointing. Incidentally, synmastia problems surface among this group of breast enhancement patients more as the breast implants are pushed close to each other to result in a narrower cleavage.

Synmastia or symmastia complications are known to be visible within four months of having a breast augmentation surgery. Some cases however, are known to occur much later as well.

Correction of this problem is a complex procedure and can involve either of two procedures. One is external suturing which is the less preferred method as it leaves visible scars and is temporary. The other procedure to correct the uniboob or symmastia problem is an implant revision surgery which reinserts the breast implants after strengthening the sutures from the inside.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, care is taken to minimize the risk of complications like synmastia by discussing with the patient the breast size that is right for them. Factors like available breast tissue and muscle too are studied during consultation.

Breast Reconstruction Surgery Via DIEP Flap Method:

Sufficient abdominal fat is the main requirement for a patient to have a reconstructive breast surgery using the DIEP flap method. The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) is the main blood vessel instrumental in this type of breast surgery.

Due to the procedures involved, DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery also involves a tummy tuck surgery. Skin, blood vessels and fat from the lower abdominal area is harvested and transplanted in the breast tissue, resulting in a reduction in the tummy size.

The perforators occurring in the muscles in the abdomen are removed and connected with those in the breast area. The muscles are left undisturbed and intact, and are allowed to preserve their strength.

Classified as a microsurgery (due to the use of microscopes), DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery takes plastic surgeons a longer time to perform than a TRAM flap surgery. A minimum of 8 hours is the normal time if reconstruction of both the breasts is involved.

Plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California are acquainted with various reconstructive breast surgery procedures. Free flap breast reconstructive surgery procedures like the DIEP flap are complicated operations and we recommend that you discuss your options with a certified and trained plastic surgeon.

Cleavage Concerns:

When Jessica Simpson tops the list for best cleavage you know its time to re-think just how attractive or not your cleavage might be. To surpass buxom beauties like Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Dita Von Teese has to be an achievement for the blond beauty.

The early Greeks defined the way the human body was to be portrayed in art and included curves and smooth lines as an important component of this definition. When the Wonderbra, the revolutionary brassiere that first made cleavage exposure a style statement, popped on to the fashion scene the perceptions of feminine beauty were reworked once again.

Plastic surgery patients wishing a breast enhancement surgery very often come in with photographs of their favorite celebrity and request boob jobs that mirror their breasts as closely as is possible. Perfect cleavages are frequently added to the wishlists of many patients wishing a breast augmentation as well.

In the process of getting a cleavage to die-for, cosmetic surgery patients often end up asking their surgeons to fit them with bigger breast implants, whether or not they have the physical proportions or breast tissue available for the procedure.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for breast augmentation help and breast enhancement advice. Top plastic surgeons and trained consultants not only fit you with breast implants of the right size but also advice you on how to enhance your breasts using subtle make-up techniques. And yes, we help out men who want a buffed chest as well.

Why New Mothers Are Tender About Their Breasts:

Female hormones work overtime during pregnancy and their continually changing breast size are indicators of this fact. Not only do the breasts display a gradual growth but they also feel very tender and hypersensitive. The nipple and areola also undergo a darkening in color with the glands occurring in the areola surface growing bumpy.

These changes vary from woman to woman with some symptoms varying in intensity from others. Usually for small breasted women an increase in breast size will be a welcome change, but for those who already have large breasts, a larger size can be cause for some discomfort.

The period after pregnancy and more importantly after the child has been weaned can result in a completely opposite state of affairs though. Many patients who visit us for cosmetic surgery after they have given birth raise concerns about their post-pregnancy body.

Loose skin and loss of breast volume are stated as the most common denominators for requesting a plastic surgery procedure like breast augmentationbreast lifts. Sometimes these breast enhancement surgeries are also combined with a tummy tuck surgery to take care of loose skin and muscles in the abdominal area.
and

Top plastic surgeons at our advanced surgical institute, exhort these women to wait for a while before going ahead with a cosmetic surgery procedure to get their body back in shape. Having an invasive plastic surgery soon after a pregnancy is an unwise step as the body is still undergoing major hormonal changes and upheavals.

Reconstructing Breasts After A Lumpectomy:

A lumpectomy is a type of breast-conserving surgery procedure performed on women who have breast cancer. Surgeons remove single tumors under 4cms present in the breast tissue and if needed the adjacent tissue in this surgery.

Lumpectomy procedures are held to be as beneficent for the patient as a mastectomy procedure which removes the entire breast mass. A study presented two years back at an annual ASPS meeting found that at least one-third of breast cancer survivors expressed disappointment with a lumpectomy.

This is mainly because a lumpectomy removes a section of the breast tissue, it could be a quarter or it could be more; the end result is usually a breast that looks very disproportionate compared to the other one.

Many breast cancer patients frown upon such cosmetic considerations stating that the priority of any patient has to be defeating breast cancer. But more than a desire to look good and in proportion, cosmetic breast reconstruction surgery helps tremendously in emotional healing.

Today, there are many options for women who have conquered breast cancer via a lumpectomy and mastectomy. Advanced surgical institutes like the Plastic Surgery Institute of California offer reconstructive breast surgery using breast implants, tissue transplants and nipple reconstruction besides other cosmetic breast enhancement.

Innocent Young Princesses And Flakey Bimbos:

Here’s another example of real life branching out into the virtual world.

The newest toy to bounce into the hands of unsuspecting pre-teens and teens is the virtual game Miss Bimbo. With members given a naked virtual character and cash to provide her with anything from breast augmentation to new clothes for a beauty contest, the site boasts of around 246 024 registered ‘bimbos’.

Parents in Europe have raised concerns over the sensibility of such a site especially when a father found money deducted from his mobile bill due to messages his daughter had sent to fund items for her bimbo. It’s the Tamigotchi phenomena all over again, only this time, the repercussions on impressionable young minds could be worse.

Plastic surgery, as branch of medicine is misunderstood a lot when tagged alongside such consumer horrors. Boards like the ASPS rule that persons under the age of 18 should not be encouraged to have a plastic surgery procedure except if it is for reconstructive purposes.

Imagine the ideas that a 10 year old playing this virtual game would get if she could get her online bimbo a breast enhancement surgery or any other cosmetic procedure. After Britney Spears’ revelations about her own teen breast augmentation procedure and the subsequent reversal surgery she had due to discomfort, these types of messages should be discouraged.

Top plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, an advanced surgical institute located in Beverly Hills, Orange County and Los Angeles, insist that young patients undergo a careful screening procedure in order to determine the exact need for cosmetic surgery before going ahead with further consultation.

The Complete Chest Revamp For Men:

A couple of years back, the word ‘metrosexual’ hit men full smack in the face and society’s expectations of the modern male rose up considerably. No longer was it weird for men to even contemplate something like a face wash specially for the night and Italian cooking for the love of his life.

The metrosexual male knew how to play society like a finely tuned violin and women simply loved not having to complain about dirty socks on the sofa for once. Today, the term still hangs around in restrooms, fashion magazines, preppy college clubs, corporate gossip rooms and the like and occasionally peeks around the corner just to keep things interesting.

A by-product of the whole metrosexual revolution is the importance men pay to well-groomed chests. Earlier, cosmetic surgery had the male breast reduction surgery which took care of gynecomastia or ‘men boobs’. The surgery was more reconstructive in nature and focused mainly on getting men to lose prepubertal breasts.

This state of affairs was remedied with cosmetic surgery stepping in with a pair of fresh gloves on to deal with the metrosexual male. Plastic surgeons and cosmetologists came up with a mind-boggling range of procedures to offer men, metrosexual or not, with a lot more ways to look great.

Pectoral implants to give the appearance of a pumped up chest, laser hair reduction and removal to take care of chest, armpit and back hair, wrinkle reduction and acne treatments that suited tougher male skins, liposuction, injectable fillers, etc. are available today.

Looking good need not be an effort for the modern man. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for awesome cosmetic treatment combinations for men.

Breast Surgery Infections:

The MRSA bug that has been observed to resurface in a spate of plastic surgery cases lately finds mention in lists of potential breast surgery complications as well.

One such case was highlighted here and related the gruesome story of a woman who was infected with this to be married having to undergo a complete breast implant removal just two days before she tied the knot.

Post-operative breast augmentation infection triggered by the presence of Methyl Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a strain of the bacterium staph is rare however (occurring in less than 2 percent cases). Extreme precautions are being taken by hospitals and surgical facilities to increase sanitary levels and patient care in an effort to reduce the risk of such infections.

Medical experts exhort patients who wish to have breast augmentation surgery to wash the armpit region for a few days before surgery using certain anti-bacterial soaps. This step is taken to ensure that the presence of staph, which is known to occur naturally in some individuals, is completely eliminated.

Proper pre-operative care and a trained plastic surgeon are your best shields against developing a breast augmentation infection. Remember to do your homework well when choosing your cosmetic surgeon. Not only should he be board certified by a body like the ASPS, but an experienced background in different surgical disciplines can be an added advantage.

Living Life To The Fullest With Cosmetic Breast Surgery:

If there was one word to describe Natasha Woods, it would be exuberant. But for a woman with a heart as large as hers, Natasha would need a lot more words to describe her and they still wouldn’t do her spirit justice!

The actress and comedienne is a victim of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a disease which inhibits the signals from the brain to the muscles. Being bound to a wheelchair has not kept this lovely lady from having breast implants and the occasional Botox shot though.

Oh yes, you heard that right, but before you pass her off as just another fluffy actress, I have to mention that Natasha Woods’ breast augmentation was carried out for reconstructive purposes. The Botox was just something she wanted.

Natasha’s breasts were asymmetrical and she found much relief when a very prominent breast implant manufacturer stepped in and helped her out. Her new breasts are sources of much pride for her and an example of the cheerful resilience that is so characteristic of her.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, an advanced surgical institute situated in prime Californian spots like Orange County, LA and Beverly Hills, cosmetic surgeons perform reconstructive breast surgery procedures.

We recognize and salute the spirit of individuals like Natasha Woods, who prefer making their lives better anyway they can rather than watching it go by from the side-lines.

Breast Surgery Complications Can Happen To A-listers Too:

I came across a hilarious list the other day documenting the ten worst celebrity breast augmentations. The unlucky starlets and models and wannabe’s needless to say, had pretty some pretty bad work performed on them by their plastic surgeons, whoever they may be.

The boob jobs listed featured the usual suspects of botched breast surgery operations and breast implant complications. One of the more common conditions, nipple flattening, can be observed in Pamela Anderson’s modified breast shots. Top plastic surgeons can remedy this condition with a nipple reconstruction procedure.

A list like this cannot do without Victoria Beckham, who has been notoriously rapped for her rigidly standing out breasts. This is one issue which a plastic surgeon has to avoid at the earliest. Lack of adequate breast tissue to cover the breasts is a requirement that cannot be ignored.

And then there’s the absolutely gorgeous Christina Aguilera whose breast augmentation had the ripple-effect which is known to be the result of the implant shifting.

Plastic surgery procedures like breast reduction and breast augmentation are major operations and require the patient to understand the procedures thoroughly.

Plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California understand the risks and complications involved in breast surgery operations and make it a point to inform the patient first-hand about them before diagnosing them for surgery.

Shopping For New Breasts? Do Try Out The Right Size:

Actress Tara Reid and model Katie Price are two women who have raised the most noise about breast augmentation surgeries that left them dissatisfied. Both these women claimed to have the wrong sized breast implants and breast reduction, respectively, performed on them, resulting in breasts that felt sorely uncomfortable.

According to implant manufacturer Mentor, choosing the right size of breast implants may just be the toughest decisions that the patient might have to make when having a breast augmentation surgery. Plastic surgeons make sure that the existing breast tissue is adequate enough to accommodate the size of the breast implants desired by the patient.

On this note, it is important to remember that the larger the implant size, the higher will be the risk of your breasts sagging over time. Choosing breast implants that are not in proportion to the existing tissue mass can also result in the edges of the implant standing out as a distinct ridge post-surgery.

Therefore, when the patient is selecting the desired breast size, plastic surgeons are required to explain them the various types of implants that are available and which can match the rest of the anatomy of the patient. Silicone breast implants filled with saline gel or silicone gel are available in different breast sizes.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, plastic surgeons can help you select the right implant size so that you are as comfortable as possible with your new breasts. While a perfect fit is impossible to guarantee, maximum possible comfort and expertise is what we guarantee our patients.

Exercise Plan To Come Smiling Out Of Breast Surgery:

Earlier this month, Angie Best, a trained nutritionist, launched a cosmetic surgery diet and exercise plan in collaboration with the Harley Medical Group. The exercise plan is supposed to physically prepare patients for plastic surgeryabdominoplasty, breast surgery, liposuction and buttock augmentation/reduction and also enable rapid healing.

Plastic surgeons and medical experts world-wide have to check the suitability of a patient before allowing them to commit themselves to any kind of surgery. This is an important part of the initial examination process as any obstacles to proper recovery and healing can be identified and the procedure can be worked around them or not performed at all.
procedures like

Towards this end, plastic surgeons recommend patients who wish to have an elective breast surgery procedure like breast augmentation or a breast lift to follow a certain set of exercises and a customized diet plan.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, top plastic surgeons prescribe patients who wish to have a cosmetic breast surgery a set of exercises to follow before the procedure. Fitness regimes that take into account the individual recovery pattern and period too are suggested.

A major elective cosmetic procedure like breast augmentation or breast reduction
can be easier to recover from if only the right precautions are taken and adequate preparation is made.

Latest In Breast Surgery - Furry-feel Implants:

There’s something interesting happening in Oz-land and a lot of women are avidly following it; that is, women who have their sights set on technologically advanced cosmetic surgery.

The ‘Furry Brazilians’ are the latest offering in cosmetic breast enhancement and have been welcomed effusively by the Australian medical profession. These breast implants are manufactured in Brazil and have been use since the 1960’s by Brazilians as well as Europeans.

A layer of a type of foam called polyurethane is used to coat the furry-feel implants, giving it a soft feel. Polyurethane is a material that is used in manufacturing many medical devices and is considered safe for such use.

Plastic surgeons claim that the use of these foam breast implants can reduce the risk of a complication known as capsular contracture by at least 400 percent. This particular breast enhancement complication is known to affect one in ten women who have a breast augmentation surgery.

The use of the soft, comfortable feeling ‘Furry Brazilians’ may just be the thing to reduce the severe pain caused by capsular contracture. More research pertaining to the efficacy of using polyurethane for breast augmentation on U.S. women is required however.

The FDA has yet to issue a green signal for use of these breast implants, but since the Brazilians, Europeans and now the Australians have demonstrated the usefulness of this material, it might be a matter of time for them to get approved.

When Your Breasts Are Not In Symmetry:

Well, there’s nothing much you can do for asymmetrical breasts except blame your genes.

Asymmetry in breast size usually involves a difference in breast size or breast shape or both these factors. Breast growth starts after the first menstruation and can continue for about four years.

After adolescence, the only major changes in breast size are brought about due to pregnancy or menopause. Your first concern about a difference in breast size in the intervening years should always be about breast cancer.

However, if the doctor does not find any traces of breast cancer then asymmetry in breast size could be because of fluctuation in estrogen levels, the female hormone controlling breast size.

Asymmetry can be ignored in some cases where the difference is not noticeable but in certain women, there can be cause for some discomfort. In this case you can have a breast symmetry correction surgery via a breast augmentation surgery or a breast reduction surgery depending on your need.

Cosmetic surgery to correct asymmetry in breasts is resolutely the better option as compared to wearing certain types of garments or creams that promise a lot and deliver less. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more information on this particular type of breast surgery.

And Another Boob Job…:

Ms. Kelly Rowland has finally succumbed to the boob job bug with her new set of enhanced breasts. The very talented singer is remembered for her rich chocolate voice and short pixie cut which complemented her athletic frame in her ‘Dilemma’ days (sic 2001).

But that was then and this is now and Beyonce is the ruling queen of curvy feminine beauty post Destiny’s Child. Kelly confessed to pining for an hourglass figure just like her cousin and former band mate.

Looks like piling the plate did not help much for Rowland who opted for a breast augmentation procedure. Her new breasts oddly contrast the rest of her body which is very svelte and slender. The supposed buttock augmentation doesn’t seem to have done much good for her figure either.

When you step in the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for consultation about a breast augmentation procedure, your body proportions are carefully measured. The breast size that you desire depends a lot on the width of your chest, the bone structure and also the amount of tissue you have available for the breast implant to be inserted.

This Is Not Just Advice – This Is A Requirement:

Breast enhancement surgery using synthetic materials like silicone implants constitute a major elective surgery. It is not a surgery that can be performed in an hour and neither does it involve overnight recovery.

While researching information for breast surgery, it is highly probable that you may have come across warnings and testimonials of patients who have had breast enhancement surgeries that went bad. Do not pass them off as minor casualties, read their stories. You can have an idea of what you need to ask your physician and plastic surgeon from them.

It is best that you do not leave out any question unanswered by your cosmetic surgeon. Even if you doubt a certification that is displayed on his clinic wall, request an explanation. Many ‘plastic surgeons’ are known to pass themselves off as affiliated to one board or another as a sign of accreditation.

Check out resources like the U.S. Food and Drug Association and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that are regulating bodies recognized by the government. Plastic surgeons certified by such boards are the ones you need to include in your search for a good plastic surgeon.

As much as you scrutinize your prospective surgeon, it is important that you spend some time analyzing your body as well. The ensuing recovery period can be greatly helped if the diet followed is nutritious and healthy. The right exercise regime will also prove to be very beneficial.
