Would You Take Advice From Pam On Breast Reduction?

2008-07-18T06:01:00.001-07:00

I know a lot of women who would rather take advice from her on a breast augmentation. I mean look at her- her upgraded breasts made her super-famous!

Bianca Benigno however, thinks otherwise.

The Big Brother evictee who missed Pamela Anderson's entrance in the BB pen wished she could have got to meet Pam and heard the diva's views on everything from Tommy lee Jones to a breast reduction surgery.

The 18-year-old is barely old enough to for a breast surgery but from all accounts is not happy with her bust line. Appallingly enough, Bianca's family describes her as "bitch, boobs and brains", the second of which Bianca seems set on changing with a breast reduction.

Pamela Anderson, incidentally, did have a breast reduction surgery way back in 1999. It was after she had her famous breast augmentation though. She did not stay reduced for very long as she went and boosted her breast size all over again.

Rumors are on about another breast reduction procedure and currently Pam is busy dispelling them.

Rather than having repeated cosmetic breast surgery, it is recommended that you stick to one size that you are comfortable with. Get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for honest advice and guidance on selecting the cosmetic surgery procedure that suits your body.

Breast Augmentation Financing – Evading Council Tax To Pay For It

2008-07-18T05:58:00.001-07:00

Before you get the wrong idea, we are definitely not advising you to pull off something like this.

But 59-year-old Gwynneth Lester paid a high price for the breast augmentation procedure she wanted right since her teenage years. She used up all her money to fund a £6,000 combination surgery procedure instead of paying off the debt she owed to the Gosport Borough Council.

The British resident defended her extreme move saying, "I'm knocking on 60, but I don't care. I've wanted a boob job since I was 17 years old, so just decided to go for it." Now that's one desperate momma!

A very popular procedure among 50-somethings, breast augmentation or a breast lift gives breasts that tend to sag (at this age) a perkier appearance. Plastic surgeons either perform a breast reduction and tighten the breast tissue through a breast lift surgery, or they insert appropriate-sized implants to put the bounce back.

Incidentally, in the U.S., over 16,196 women above the age of 55 had a breast enhancement via augmentation surgery last year. Moreover, this number is excludes the number of women who had a breast lift or a breast reduction surgery.

If for some reason you cannot afford to pay off a breast augmentation procedure immediately, you can get in touch with our consultants who will help you out. With the help of the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, you can have a hassle-free cosmetic surgery experience.

Jenny McCarthy And Jim Carrey’s Swimsuit Capers

2008-07-18T05:57:00.001-07:00

There are very few couples in Hollywood that would wear each others swimsuits (okay, there are none), and the model and the funny man are one-of-a-kind.

Jenny and Jim were spotted frolicking on the beach on the Fourth of July holiday and after a while Jim emerged wearing his wife's swimsuit, much to the photographers' delight! Considering Jenny is very slim and trim, it was a wonder the newly developed Jim Carrey managed to squeeze into it.

Closer up Jenny is significantly much thinner now than her days as a Playboy cover girl, which shot her to fame and an MTV contract almost overnight. Like most models, Jenny too had a breast augmentation, something that I find hard to believe after seeing her bikini pictures.

Looking at her in the snippy one-piece, she looks like she either had her breast implants removed in a breast reduction, or simply had a smaller implant inserted. She says she's, "all for plastic surgery if it makes you feel good."

Once very proud of her near perfect breasts Jenny exclaimed that she would love to share them with as many people as possible. Talk about being generous! But far from being just another model who has had a breast augmentation surgery, Jenny McCarthy is far from an airhead.

Actively involved in the initiative Talk About Curing Autism, Jenny spends a lot of time fighting against the condition that her son has. A model mother this one.

Get to know whether a cosmetic breast surgery will work as good for you as it does for Jenny McCarthy at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Breast Augmentation, Now Offered By Your Cancer Doctor

2008-07-18T05:55:00.001-07:00

This should be good news for breast cancer patients. If nothing else, at least the women who are operated for breast cancer will be assured about the quality they will be getting.

There is a surge in the number of cancer surgeons opting for a specialty training in plastic surgery techniques being noticed in the U.S. Tying the two fields seems like one of those ideas that are always hovering about never seem to strike.

Earlier, things were much harder for breast cancer patients.

After a lumpectomy or a mastectomy, women were either referred to another doctor for a reconstructive breast surgery or they had the option of having a breast augmentation at a later date. By combining these two procedures, doctors not only are assuring women that they will be taken care of by one surgeon but they are also presenting them with a good way of juggling finances.

A special term is applied to refer to this type of surgery- 'oncoplastic surgery' but as of today, there is no special certification offered to surgeons who specialize in it. To know whether your surgeon is proficient in oncoplastic surgery, you can get in touch with the consultants at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Our advanced surgical institute for corrective breast surgery in Orange County and California is AAAHC certified and is equipped with a staff affiliated with the ASPS as members.

Sophie Price Copies Her Sister’s Breast Implants

2008-07-15T05:15:00.001-07:00

It goes without saying- the breast augmentation gene runs in true in the Price family.

Sophie Price, Katie Price's 18-year-old sister has had a breast augmentation procedure to boost her cup size from a 32-C to a 32-E, and just like her sister, she is basking in the glow of all the attention her breasts are garnering.

The similarities are all there.

Sophie is the face of the adult channel Television X just like her sister was- the only difference being Katie bagged the deal when she was 23. Along with the augmented breasts, Sophie also sports a fake tan, a terrible flighty attitude and the too-shiny hair like her sister Katie.

Quite funnily, Sophie once commented that while she would love to be like her sister, she would definitely refrain from having breasts as big as hers. What she wanted was the 'bullet boob look', which she claimed to have been very fascinated with. Looks like she couldn't fight genetics after all!

Eighteen is a bit too young for getting a breast augmentation even though technically there is no law stopping teens of this age from having a cosmetic breast surgery. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we recommend teenagers waiting until their bodies developed further before having a breast augmentation surgery.

Breast Surgery Update: The Breast Augmentation Bra

2008-07-15T05:13:00.001-07:00

Garments specially crafted for cosmetic surgery patients are not a new thing but the trend is just lately catching up with patients.

This market has come up with just about everything to make the recovery process easier and more stylish for the patient. From the variety of materials used to the cut and fit of the garments, the modern woman is pampered just as she wishes after having plastic surgery of any kind.

Lingerie label Le Mystere's new breast augmentation bra is one of the upper body garments that have joined the ranks of all the fantastic recovery clothes out there. I just popped over to their site and was pretty blown by the very feminine designs they had to offer the woman who has just come out from a breast augmentation procedure.

According to a member of the BAAPS, "Lingerie catering for the unique shape of the augmented breast is great news for women". With what I have seen of this new range, I agree with this view. This concept is going to be very appealing for the many women who have to deal with scars and swelling that come from a breast surgery.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California offers some of the best breast lift surgery and breast augmentation prices and procedures. Visit us for a cosmetic surgery experience that is satisfying and positive.

When Healthy, Young Women Use Breast Augmentation To Please Their Men

2008-06-30T22:20:00.001-07:00

It takes all kinds to make the world and Katie Price and Peter Andre are living proof."

I remember coming across Katie mentioning somewhere that her husband loved her big, augmented breasts but still preferred a smaller version. This drove her to get a breast reduction in an effort to downsize them.

If a successful and beautiful woman living the high life in Western society will do something like this for her husband, it's hardly shocking to hear the same being done by women in the Middle East.

The reasons are a tad different in the latter society however. These women who live in a society that is all for polygamous marriages, would not disregard a breast augmentation or any other cosmetic surgery modifications if it could keep their husbands from taking another wife.

This behavior is noticed predominantly among women in the age groups between 20 and 65, disclosing to us the fear that exists in nearly every wife at every stage of her married life.

In the case of a young and glamorous Jocelyn Wildenstein, cosmetic surgery did not really keep her husband in check and in fact led to disastrous results for her. The various plastic surgery procedures she had just made her an addict to it.

So, if you want breast augmentation women, have one because you wish it and want to keep yourself happy. It's an enlightened age and time we live in, one that calls for independent decisions where women are concerned.

Cynthia Nixon’s Breast Controversies

2008-06-30T22:18:00.001-07:00

I'm sure after coming out and facing the challenges presented to her by breast cancer Cynthia would have preferred everybody leaving her breasts alone.

But rumors of her having had a breast augmentation surfaced not some days ago with few publications talking about Cynthia Nixon's recent visit to a cosmetic surgeon. There are no pictures of the no-nonsense Sex and the City star after the said breast surgery and so far no comment from the actress' rep either.

It is not unusual for women to go in for a breast augmentation procedure after emerging from a battle with cancer. While some women would prefer to proudly forgo prosthetic breasts, others would rather make a statement with breast implants.

Cynthia, if the news is anything to go by, must have opted to fall in the second group. It's not easy for women to lose a breast or both breasts to cancer and go in for artificial ones. Whatever they have a breast augmentation surgery or forgo it- it's a tough choice.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California provides help for women who are breast cancer survivors like Cynthia Nixon. Professional consultants and plastic surgeons work hard to make your experience with breast surgery an experience filled with dignity and confidence. Drop us a line if you wish to know more.

Bare Your Cleavage With Pride – Like Holly Willoughby

2008-06-30T22:16:00.001-07:00

The Desperate Housewives gave us some memorable moments with their various cleavage-flashing tricks and for their commendable efforts hardly raised any eyebrows from the viewing audiences. We expected it and I feel it gave a whole new meaning to "making use of what you have".

But when Holly Willoughby, host for British television's Dancing on Ice first went on air with her wardrobe of deep-necked dresses and blouses, the controversy that she sparked off was phenomenal. The again the difference in reactions could have something to do with the different audiences involved.

Cleavages, you can say, are almost as important as the size of the breasts they nestle among. You might say its typical male mentality which more often than not can drive perfectly well-endowed women to have a breast augmentation.

However, this doesn't mean you can underestimate the feminine need for good cleavage and subsequently great breasts.

Take Dolly Parton for example. The country music singer and actress believed her breasts to be so invaluable and indispensable for her career that she insured them for £350,000. And it's no secret that she had a major breast augmentation procedure to get those awesome breasts!

Likewise, Holly is one girl who is not going to be intimidated by the British audience. She is going to go ahead and continue wearing her deep-necked costumes on mainstream television and proudly bare her cleavage, and not for the ratings but because she wants to do it for herself.

How far have you gone to bare your god-given or cosmetically enhanced cleavage? Send in your story to the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Cosmetic Surgery To Remove Female Breasts

2008-06-17T06:20:00.000-07:00

Surely that can’t be as shocking as it sounds; after all there are breast cancer patients who have had a mastectomy to remove an affected breast.

Or so I thought. But Toyah Wilcox doesn’t have breast cancer and there is nothing wrong with her breasts. All she wants to do is remove her breasts because she “can’t bear them”. According to the 50-year-old, she is all but ready for the plastic surgery procedure but is facing strict opposition from her husband.

Toyah, a singer and actress, is a self-declared attention grabber and is aware that she will make headlines if she goes ahead with this unusual breast reduction surgery. Given her lifestyle habits this is not much of a surprise as she has been known to take a diet supplement that boosts collagen growth in the body.

The punk rocker has had her share of physical deformities though and in my opinion should be allowed to have a little fun with her body. Toyah was born with a clubbed foot, a twisted spine and some other problems to correct which she had to undergo tremendous adjustment and years of painful physiotherapy.

Her hormonal imbalance is also something that has contributed to her desire to have a breast reduction procedure.

Plastic surgery can bring out the best in a person’s features if performed by a cosmetic surgeon who understands the patient’s physical anatomy and problems well. For this you need a cosmetic surgeon who is experienced and is board certified, both of which you will find at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Carmen’s Got (Cosmetic Surgery) Assets To-Die-For

2008-06-16T04:29:00.000-07:00

I came across a nice little snippet about Carmen Electra the other day and it got me wondering why I haven’t covered her up out here, considering her sizeable assets. Carmen has a history of cosmetic surgery (subdued) and certified hotness behind her. Just take a look at her portfolio and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Carmen was: discovered by Prince when she was in her teens, did a Playboy spread when she was in her mid-twenties, replaced the oh-so-hot Jenny McCarthy, bagged a role in the sizzling Baywatch Hawaii, has a comic book character by her name, was spokesperson for Budweiser, had a nine-day marriage to basketball jock Dennis Rodman, was a Pussycat Doll, had a reality TV-style marriage to Jane’s Addiction front man Dave Navarro and is founder of the Naked Women’s Wrestling League. Whew, this woman sure has been there and done a lot!

Millions of men out there will agree that the breast augmentation Carmen had early in her career just added to her sex appeal. Her breast implants are right there in the Pamela Anderson and Anna Nicole-Smith league.

Carmen’s original breast size was a lowly 32-B and after her breast augmentation procedure they graduated to 36-DD. Quite an upgrade that.

Cosmetic surgeons normally wouldn’t recommend women to go ahead with breast implants of that size unless they were prepared to maintain a body that’s as fit as Carmen’s. Of course, it’s another matter altogether if the patient has a body that will support such large implants.

Get to know the size that’s best for you at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Breast Reduction Surgery: Queen-style

2008-06-13T03:55:00.000-07:00

The California law that ruled out same-sex marriages as illegal has created quite a furor in international circles and raised the hopes of a lot of homosexual individuals. While Ellen DeGeneres and Portia Rossi were all-out relieved with it and are making plans for their marriage, Queen Latifah is not that sure.

Latifah and her friend Jeanette Jenkins, a personal trainer and founder and president of Hollywood Trainer, have known each other for five years now and according to sources are all set to marry. The only obstacle seems to be them coming out in the open about their relationship.

Latifah, one of the busiest and bustiest African-American actresses is one person who has stuck true to her plus-sized image. No amount of cajoling from Hollywood heavyweights and the beauty business could make her less proud of her body.

However, she did go in for a breast reduction surgery at one point in her adult life and was instrumental in projecting an image that gave much dignity to the plastic surgery procedure. Queen Latifah had a breast reduction to rein in breasts that were giving her back pains and causing other health issues.

Cosmetic surgery patients who want a breast surgery procedure like breast reduction usually have it for corrective rather than cosmetic reasons, akin to Queen Latifah’s case.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California you could go in for a breast lift surgery along with a breast reduction and tackle the aesthetic angle as well. The results of such a combination procedure are known to lend a more natural contour to existing curves.

Breaking News - Breast Augmentation Causes Splits

2008-06-12T03:33:00.001-07:00

Before you reach out to cancel your breast surgery appointment, let me tell you that the split I’m referring to is George Clooney’s with his girlfriend Sarah Larson.

The two lovebirds cooed for more then a year with George even breaking his personal dating protocol and taking Larson to a red carpet event. It was a romance with a cozy ‘Playboy Meets Waitress” theme.

Poor Sarah came to know about the split from a magazine though and was understandably devastated.

In my opinion what is more devastating is the fact that Sarah’s breast augmentation is believed to have been one of the reasons Clooney broke up with her.

While Larson didn’t exactly go in for Jordan-size implants, her bustline looks decidedly curvier than before. The breast augmentation procedure boosted her size from an –AAA to an –A cup. Surely such an upgrade cannot be held as a sign of the girl being dazzled by her boyfriend’s fame and riches!

From all reports Sarah had a breast augmentation surgery against Clooney’s wishes. While I applaud her decision to have it for herself doctors recommend that breast surgery and plastic surgery candidates discuss their step and ruminate on its implications with those near to them.

It’s important to tackle your surgery from all angles, especially from your family’s point of view. The consultants at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California can help you decide.

From Enhancing Teeth To Augmenting Breasts – Hillary Duff

2008-06-10T22:31:00.000-07:00

Hillary Duff has come a long way from her awkward Lizzy McGuire Disney days. Professionally as well as physically, young Lizzy has matured into a girl who has her sights set firmly on what she wants.

Hillary makes more appearances in the news for her style choices and spottings, so it’s only understandable that she would be linked with plastic surgery at some point. Her best known tryst with cosmetic enhancement would be her veneers which supposedly ‘enhanced’ her already megawatt smile.

However, after fans and critics alike noticed her discomfort with them she went and had them shortened. But did she have another plastic surgery procedure while she did that?

Speculations of a breast augmentation surgery are doing the rounds and have us at PSI breast augmentation wondering if Hillary has finally joined the ranks of Lindsey Lohan and Heidi Montag. Twenty-one-year-old Hillary is certainly past the minimum age limit (18) for cosmetic surgery.

In an interview with The Sun two years back, Hillary stated, “I don't have anything against people who have surgery. If I get older and feel uncomfortable about something then maybe I will have it. I never say never.” Looks like she decided it was time for her after all.

What do you think- did Hillary have a breast surgery? Type in your thoughts here at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

A Breast Enhancement To Get Into Playboy

2008-06-09T21:14:00.000-07:00

Whatever Brigitte Nielson may be (hot momma, attention-hungry, reality TV freak) she has her heart in the right place- for cosmetic surgery that is.

The forty-four-year-old actress is going to star in a reality TV-inspired show where her cosmetic surgery procedures will be recorded and televised to the world. Some of the surgeries she is slated to get done are a breast reduction with breast lift surgery combined.

Brigitte is far from new to breast surgery procedures as she is believed to have had a beast augmentation early in her career. Indeed, the Red Sonja actress was even caught groping Anna Nicole-Smith at an awards function some years back and the two were said to have compared their respective breast implants.

If Brigitte goes ahead with the cosmetic breast surgery procedure, she will have diminished her 36-C size considerably. She wants them to be more discreet and look perfect for the cover she hopes to bag in Playboy in December. According to her it’s just her way of celebrating her first Playboy cover 20 years ago.

With her various body modifications and breast enhancements Brigitte hopes to forget 15 years off her appearance. Considering that she doesn’t look all that old for her age, I doubt she will have much difficulty doing that.

Let’s just wait and see what the cosmetic surgeons have in store for us after they are done with Brigitte Nielson. Send in your thoughts to the Plastic Surgery Institute of California right here.

Self-repairing Breasts – The Latest In Breast Augmentation?

2008-06-04T05:02:00.000-07:00

Stem cell breast implants are rather old news in fact and every now and then reports of new developments keep surfacing.

In 2004, stem cells were first used for breast augmentation and since then there have been quite a number of applications of this surgery. Doctors believe stem cell breast implants could very well pass off for cosmetic surgery purposes due to their body enhancing nature.

The doctors at the Tokyo University medical school were the first to introduce this breast augmentation alternative. They believed it could be a veritable blessing for women who have been victims of breast cancer.

Compared to silicone breast implants, stem cell implants are yet to achieve recognition as a safe method to augment the breasts though. This is the main drawback for this breast surgery procedure.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we always suggest patients to play safe and opt for FDA approved implant materials when considering a breast augmentation procedure.

Scarlett’s Breasts – Breast Enhancement Result?

2008-05-31T05:48:00.000-07:00

For all the excuses that admirers make for Scarlett Johansson she really doesn’t do justice for her image. Currently engaged to Ryan Reynolds (Just Friends) Scarlett disappointed many with her diva-like behavior when invited for this year’s Cannes Festival.

Beauty magazines have regularly feted her with praises for her looks though and she is believed to possess the most perfect pair of breasts. In 2006 In Touch magazine put her on top of the list of women with the best breasts in Hollywood.

A breast augmentation does not seem anywhere in sight for the South African actress though as she already seems to be loaded in that department.

But Scarlett does tone up her breasts from time-to-time and is believed to use a breast enhancement cosmetic by Rodial called Boob Job. The cosmetic is believed to firm the breastline and increase the cup size for women. Hmm… I don’t see Scarlett’s breasts reaching gargantuan proportions though.

But then Scarlett must be doing something right as she had beat out voluptuous beauties like Salma Hayek and Jessica Simpson in the poll. The fact that most of the girls on the list have had a breast surgery is another kettle of fish altogether.

How much would you rate Scarlett’s breasts though? Let us know at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

The Hills Stars And Their (Breasts) Hills

2008-05-29T05:24:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah. Audrina Patridge has definitely gone back on her vow to ‘never’ have plastic surgery. From the beach shots of her filming Into the Blue 2: The Reef, her newly upgraded breasts are if anything, a bonus for men to get excited about.

Ever since the MTV series Laguna Beach began and subsequently transformed into The Hills, the teenage couch potatoes of America have followed the protagonists every move with longing, envy, lust and avarice.

The girls who star in the show have become cult icons. Adolescent girls avidly follow their make ups and break ups and teenage boys secretly check them out when the girls have gone to pop the corn.

Cosmetic surgery is just one of the many undertones that make its presence felt in the series and with Audrina’s speculated breast augmentation; it seems to have percolated into real life as well. But then again it could also be a case of following in Heidi Montag’s breast surgery forays.

Her (highly speculated) breast augmentation procedure comes as no surprise though as the 23-year-old was never one to back off from flaunting her breasts. In the topless photos that were taken when she was a mere high school graduate her breasts look nowhere close to what they look now.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California while all for enhancing the body is not one for teenage and adolescent breast lift surgery or augmentation. Leave it for when you are older why don’t you, it’ll suit you much better than.

How To Get A Breast Lift Using Adhesive, Goop, Etc.

2008-05-29T05:23:00.000-07:00

Okay, no need to be alarmed. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California does not make use of adhesives to fix your breasts at all.

But there are breast lifts that can be had with little much than a sticky tape called Liftits. It’s quite a novel idea I must say and had me very intrigued. Amazing, the things they come up with these days to give you breasts that look perky without old-fashion breast surgery.

The company that brought out Liftits claims that they work very well on cup sizes A to D and can lift the breast by 2 inches. Wow. Pretty strong adhesive I must say.

There is an entire market out there dedicated to giving women, or rather their breasts, the ultimate high. From breast toning creams to gels that can add volume, from lasers that stimulate collagen growth to stretch mark busters in tubes- you just have to name what you want.

Looking at all the mind-boggling options available today for the enlightened woman, I can’t help but wonder if breast surgery procedures like breast augmentation, breast lift surgery, nipple-lifting surgery, etc. are soon going to be referred to as something we women used to have in the good old days.

But then, I look at all the teeny-boppers of this era (Lindsey Lohan, Heidi Montag, Britney Spears) and I hear a voice stamping its foot and telling me that its here to stay. After all yesteryear’s women (Madonna, Pamela Anderson, Joan Rivers) still love a breast lift surgery or an augmentation every now and then!

But do tell me about the things you do to get your girls up and if you have ever had any breast surgery.

Blaming the Husband For Big Breasts - Not Cool!

2008-05-28T06:24:00.000-07:00

There is no line that cannot be crossed for Chantelle Houghton, who stepped out in all her fake tanned glory for a night at a London nightclub to promote fellow wannabe Chanelle’s musical foray.

Flashing cellulite and a barely there dress, Chantelle is an example of what not to wish for when you select your breast implant size for a breast augmentation. She enlarged her breasts from a 32B to 32DD and blamed it on her husband.

In my opinion, the first mistake she made is having a breast augmentation surgery to lift her out of divorce blues and a failed marriage.

Now we all know that it’s important to pull yourself out of the despair that usually follows a separation, but getting a breast lift or upgrading your breasts is not a smart choice. Plastic surgeons recommend that patients have a stable mental and emotional level when deciding on a plastic surgery procedure.

According to Houghton her husband would berate her for being unstylish and OD’ing on fake tan and would make her do things that were contrary to her nature. While I can certainly understand the angst she must have gone through, it’s no reason to binge out on cosmetic surgery and use it as a way to get back lost confidence and get nasty at your husband.

Get a breast augmentation because you want it. For yourself. The decision to have a breast surgery or any other body altering surgery or treatment should be rooted in a personal desire for change.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can help you understand breast surgery better. Get in touch with us for a consultation.

Small Breasts? No Problem, You Can Pull It Of With Our Help

2008-05-27T21:09:00.000-07:00

She doesn’t have breasts to die for and neither is she drop dead gorgeous, but what Juliette Lewis lacks in physique, she makes up in acting talent and shock value.

Well known for her critically applauded roles in Cape Fear and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, 35-year-old Juliette is as unconventional as they come. Recently spotted dancing up a storm at a party in Cannes, Juliette has never let any particular style hold her down.

This is just as well though as I have never seen anyone pull-off bandeau bikinis so well and yet manage to look as sexy and cool as Juliette. Her breasts may not win the hooter-of-the-year award but hey, she’s got the guts to pull them off!

If you have a chest similar to Juliette’s but aren’t exactly comfortable with the small size, then you could think of a breast augmentation surgery.

Your plastic surgeon would of course have to place the implants on your pectoralis muscle during the breast augmentation procedure. This is because of the lack of adequate tissue in the chest area to cover the breast implant.

Alternatively, you could think of fat transplants in place of silicone implants for your breast augmentation. But this can only be an option if you have flab that you want to get rid of in some other part of your body.

Smart Parenting Move – Refusing Your Teenager A Breast Augmentation

2008-05-27T21:00:00.000-07:00

Not all parents push their famous (and not-so-famous) kids to aspire for lofty heights in showbiz and Doris Garrison is a wonderful case in point.

Doris happens to be Kelly Rowland’s mommy and also a very smart mother to boot. Kelly, an ex-Destiny Child member recalled in a recent interview with World Entertainment News Network about her mom’s prudence in responding to a teenager’s whim for cosmetic surgery.

When Kelly was seventeen, like a lot of young girls she wanted to have a breast augmentation surgery. Till last year she had an A-cup, something that most glam divas don’t really stick with for long.

After the breast augmentation surgery Kelly Rowland had to enlarge her breasts from an A-cup to a B-cup last year, she realized just how smart her mom was to make her wait till her body stopped developing.

Teenage breast surgery is only justified when there is a corrective breast reduction surgery involved. For a breast augmentation it is imperative that you let your teenager wait till she is older and possesses a body capable to deal with the change.

You can get further advice on cosmetic breast augmentation surgery at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

A Royal Breast Lift

2008-05-26T22:30:00.000-07:00

Even though she is a royal princess, Princess Beatrice of York never struck me as a subdued, demure girl. And my image of this 19-year-old was firmly established when I caught her in a quirky and colorful Alexander McQueen creation- for her cousin Prince Peter Phillip’s wedding no less.

She certainly stood out in her ensemble and did credit to her break job as a personal shopper at Selfridges.

However put together Beatrice may be in the style department, she is not really toned and fit physically. A girl with a naturally pear-shaped boy, Bea has got breasts that sag too much for her age.

But a breast lift surgery, which can take care of this problem, won’t be that great an idea right now for the royal princess as her body is yet developing. The push and pulls of her teenage years are still wearing off.

For a breast lift surgery or a breast reduction, it is best to wait till the potential plastic surgery patient has got past the age immediately after adolescence. Plastic surgeons can then work on the breast area to remove excess fat and lift the surrounding skin to give them a perkier appearance.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we are highly skilled in breast surgery procedures like breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast lift surgery. If you think you might look and feel better with any of these procedures, you can get in touch with our advanced surgical institute.

Christina Spills Over – Why Big Breasts May Not Be A Good Idea

2008-05-26T22:24:00.000-07:00

She is nothing like her perfume bottle.

Post-pregnancy Christina Aguilera looks like she’s about to spill, burst and do a million embarrassing things with her breasts. And I’m not surprised one bit.

Some years back Christina had a breast enhancement surgery. Though she has not confirmed it, we know there was no way that Christina would balloon up so much in the chest region. Check out Awful Plastic Surgery’s pics on her.

As a new mother, Christina should have known that her breasts were going to swell up even more due to lactation. Just a couple of days back I came across pictures of her out and about in New York and she looked like a sexed-up Barbie. Not a pretty picture that I tell you.

For women who plan on having kids after a breast augmentation, give a thought to the way your body is going to swell up during pregnancy. It is important to remember that if your nerves get obstructed or damaged during insertion of the breast implants, your milk production will get severely affected.

Make sure your plastic surgeon has told you all this when you have a consultation for a breast lift surgery or a breast augmentation. A bad decision could have you end up with augmented breasts that feel uncomfortable when lactating or breasts that do not lactate at all.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can help you select the right breast implant size. Visit our advanced surgical institute for further help.

The Wonderbra Wonder Woman And Her Breasts Are Back

2008-05-22T20:58:00.000-07:00

In 1997 Associate Press had this to say in article mentioning the Wonderbra- “It will leave men gawking and arouse feminist wrath.”

We don’t know about arousing feminist wrath, but Eva Herzigova, former Wonderbra model, definitely left a lot of men (and women) gawking at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Her seductive black lace number showed off her oh-so-long legs to perfection and for once drew attention from her breasts.

While she may not look the same as she did during her heydays, she at least looks healthier than what she did way before she got pregnant. She was painfully thin then and had people wondering about her Wonderbra rep.

A mother to 11-month-old George, Eva has got her breasts back and quite a lot of her curves as well.

If you are thinking of having a breast augmentation to get breasts that are elegantly full like Eva’s, your plastic surgeon will first check your body frame. Since Eva’s bustline is not over-the-top, you can expect a good effect post-surgery.

Your breast surgery doctor will show you a breast implant size that’s smaller than a 36-C (Eva’s size). These implants are of silicone and come in different shapes so that they can settle better in different people.

To get a better idea about the breast size that can work for you get in touch with our breast augmentation surgery experts at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Breasts So Nice That Monkeys Too Like ‘Em!

2008-05-21T21:42:00.000-07:00

Now wouldn’t it be lovely if the rest of the simian world too showed a bit of their appreciation. But Christina Ricci is one actress that doesn’t pay much attention to the attention she gets.

So when she was shooting for the Speed Racer movie and the monkey made a dash for her breasts Ricci was less than pleased about it, given her dislike for monkeys. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like animals.

Almost always Christina is photographed with her French Bulldog Ramen hugged close to her breasts which are said to have undergone a breast reduction surgery at one point of time. When you look at Ricci today, she looks thinner than her days as part of movies like Sleepy Hollow and Prozac Nation.

Her battle with anorexia could have been one of the reasons why she had a breast reduction. Women have this breast surgery procedure when they have breasts that are too big for their body frame.

Plastic surgeons remove excess and unwanted fat deposits from the breast mass in a breast reduction surgery and reduce and sculpt the breasts in order to suit the body frame of the person.

Frequently, a breast reduction procedure is classified as reconstructive or corrective plastic surgery especially when women complain of stress on their backs and waist due to heavy breasts.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we offer breast reduction in Beverly Hills and Orange County and select areas in California. Let us know if you need further help.

Make A Noise About Your Breast Size

2008-05-21T21:41:00.000-07:00

One thing that makes a major difference in a cosmetic breast surgery is the breast size you choose.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California skilled plastic surgeons pay especial attention to the breast implant size selection process. The breast augmentation candidate is shown the implant sizes available which are measured in cubic centimeters (ccs).

Compared to cup size, measuring in ccs gives the plastic surgeon a better and closer idea about the desired breast size. A breast augmentation patient can select her breast implants from sizes 125 ccs to 1200 ccs.

To give you a perspective, your surgeon will evaluate your body and particularly your breast area for weight, height, bone and muscle structure and the result you wish for. Breast implants selected based on these factors can help establish a comfortable fit.

At our advanced surgical institute for breast augmentation we avoid a breast surgery reversal which can happen by selecting the wrong implant size. However, if you have been unhappy with a breast augmentation surgery performed by another doctor, we can correct it with a breast reduction procedure.

A breast reduction surgery takes less time to perform as compared to a breast augmentation surgery. Get in touch with us for a safe breast surgery procedure.

Tori And Her Breasts Make A Comeback

2008-05-20T01:47:00.000-07:00

This is one of the sexier moms Hollywood can boast about. Tori Spelling certainly has the package- a fairytale childhood, a smooth break into the glam life, well-toned figure, doting husband and son, blond looks, etc.

Tori, it is rumored, is all set to make a comeback in a spin-off of her hit TV show Beverly Hills 90210 and this time she wants to be cast as a sexy mom. Once she gives birth to her daughter I’m sure clinching that role wouldn’t be a problem for the 34-year-old.

Post breast augmentation, Tori made the world sit up and take closer notice of her and is partly to blame for her sexy figure. I must say, the plastic surgeon did a pretty good job on Tori. She recently revealed her breast augmentation in a bid to stop the speculation about them.

Quite a relief that- compared to most stars who attribute their cosmetic enhancements names like ‘good genes’, ‘exercise’, ‘diet’, and so on.

Tori had her breast surgery when she was in her 20’s though, which is not really a good idea. Cosmetic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California recommend young women who want a breast surgery to wait till their breasts have completed development.

To know if you are past the breast development stage, you can get in touch with our advanced surgical institute.

Feel Happy About Reverting To Small Breasts

2008-05-20T01:46:00.000-07:00

BBC America has a quirky documentary called My Small Breasts And I as part of its BBC America Reveals series. The show talks about three women and their relationship with their small breasts and how they deal with the ‘stigma’ of being small breasted in a country that favors plastic surgery a lot.

The show is an eye opener in a way as it reflects the emotional and physical see-saw a lot of small breasted women undergo. But contrary to a lot of male opinions, small breasts can actually look good on a woman and make her look good as well.

While women like Tara Reid, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce might have had a breast augmentation surgery, paragons like Keira Knightley, Paris Hilton and Nicole Kidman have managed quite well to stay without one.

As we at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California say- it’s a personal choice. We come across women who want to go back to being small breasted after a breast augmentation surgery. A breast reduction does the job for them and takes care of any discomfort experienced due to enlarged breasts.

At times, the motivations for a breast reduction surgery have health reasons underlying them and in such cases, patients are better off having a breast reduction procedure. Get an appointment with our consultants at the advanced surgical institute for a breast reduction in Beverly Hills and LA.

The Young Hogans – Do They Know Best?

2008-05-20T01:43:00.000-07:00

The Hogan family’s back in the news. This time it is kiddy Nick Bollea who’s making pages though. Nick is currently serving an 8-month jail sentence for charges of felony reckless driving that left his best friend critically injured.

Elder sis Brooke, the loyalist that she is, has been defending her brother and lashing out against the negativity splashing about on her MySpace page saying, "A LOT of lies were told in that trial. Believe me. And it wasn't from us."

Twenty-year-old Brooke is enjoying the high life as a failed singer, flighty socialite and just being part of the dysfunctional Hogan family. Her major assets seem to be her breasts which she is believed to have enhanced in a breast augmentation procedure.

Originally an A cup, Brooke graduated to a C and has stuck with that size ever since. They are not bad looking and surprisingly decent-sized for a wannabe like Brooke who has been trying to make it in the social circuit so very hard.

But its still a very young age to get a breast augmentation surgery as the body has not yet done developing. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California doesn’t advocate women as young as Brooke getting a breast surgery.

Get in touch with our advanced surgical institute to know more about your breast enhancement surgery options.

Breast Surgery And The Middle East

2008-05-18T21:14:00.000-07:00

I came across some mentions of a study conducted by Clinique on Arab women recently and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the cosmetic giant found them to possess the youngest and healthiest skin in the world. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the original study and have no way of knowing whether this is true or not.

The reasons stated in the reports were very convincing though and brought me to a similar campaign that the Unilever brand Dove conducted as part of their global Campaign for Real Beauty.

The study discovered that at least 30 percent of Saudi women would consider plastic surgery in the future placing the country on the same levels as Brazil, Argentina and Mexico.

Breast augmentation, surprisingly, is one of the more popular plastic surgery procedures in the Middle East. In Lebanon, nearing the beach season, the demands for breast surgery are noticed to be on the rise. There are some things that just don’t change.

You could be a housewife in LA or a rich sheikh’s wife in the Middle East, but the motivations for breast augmentation surgery and other cosmetic modifications don’t really change. The desire to look good and feel great is a common denominator among women in any society and country.

For your own cosmetic makeover, visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

On Our Breast Surgery Radar - Heidi Klum’s Cupcakes:

2008-05-13T21:27:00.000-07:00

Okay, before you get those brain cells busy, let me tell you that I’m referring to the cupcakes Heidi gifted Victoria Beckham on her 34^th birthday. And guess what- stick thin Victoria is actually eating them everyday!

Wow, talk about miracles. But then Heidi is a Victoria’s Secret angel after all. An unlikelier mum-pal pair you couldn’t have!

But getting back to business, Heidi Klum’s own cupcakes, I mean breasts (;p) are completely perfect. Klum has made good earning on her figure with Models.com choosing her as the world’s sexiest model.

A lot of people feel that Heidi owes her figure to some cosmetic surgery work, especially breast augmentation surgery. All I have to say is that if she has had a plastic surgery, then her plastic surgeon has done a great breast enhancement job on her.

Heidi’s breasts are in proper proportion to her body- not overly big and not minuscule either. They manage to convey the right amount of oomph factor without making her look artificial.

So what do you think? Would you like a pair of breasts like Heidi’s? The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can measure you up for a breast augmentation using implants. You can then see if the size is right for your body.

You Can Look Great After A Lumpectomy/Mastectomy:

2008-05-13T21:25:00.000-07:00

Cynthia Nixon rocks in her Calvin Kleins! Currently in London for the premiere of Sex and the City Cynthia cut a glamorous figure in a Calvin Klein gown as revealing as her character in the film is conservative.

Cynthia recently got out from a silent battle with breast cancer which was removed from her right breast. She felt she could deal with the situation better because her mother too was a breast cancer survivor. Today, she is the spokesperson for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Kylie Minogue recently honored with medals from Queen Elizabeth II and the French Government respectively, is another woman who emerged triumphant from the fight against breast cancer. Currently she is on her KYLIEX2008 tour which is right there in the glamour ranks with Jean Paul Gaultier as the designer for the tour.

Former first ladies Nancy Reagan and Betty Ford too have dealt with the terror that is breast cancer and have helped empower thousands of women against the disease.

Breast cancer does not have to be the end of the road. Contact a reconstructive breast surgery plastic surgeon who can help restore your breast after a lumpectomy or a mastectomy.

There is always help and the Plastic Surgery Institute of California is ready to help you out with plastic surgery. Visit our advanced surgical institute for breast augmentation and corrective breast surgery procedures.

Cher - The Breast Augmentation Showgirl:

2008-05-11T22:15:00.000-07:00

Cher the eternal showgirl is back on stage and this time it’s in fabulous Las Vegas where she has been booked for performances in Caesar Palace for three years. I just knew the world hadn’t seen the last of her after her Farewell Tour ended in 2005.

For a 61-year-old, Cher doesn’t look all that bad, in fact she looks smashing!

Of course she has had help from plastic surgery along the way, but hey, it has been completely worth it. Beginning from a rhinoplasty and moving on to a breast augmentation and from there moving on to a face lift, Cher has made some commendable cosmetic surgery decisions.

The breast augmentation procedure was something Cher decided to have after the birth of her child Chastity in 1969. At that time she exclaimed, “I couldn't bear to see them deflate” reflecting sentiments expressed by a lot of small/medium-breasted women who delight in their swollen breasts during and post-pregnancy.

Her decision to have a breast surgery also stems from her intense struggle to keep away Old Man Time. Cher went in for a few cosmetic surgery procedures so that she could preserve her body and ensure her place in the showbiz and glamor business that is dominated almost entirely by pretty young things.

One thing cannot be denied though, Cher is an enduring classic and amen to that!

Superhero’s Girlfriend Wants Plastic Surgery:

2008-05-11T22:11:00.000-07:00

Liv Tyler’s back in action folks, and this time she’s a super-girlfriend with a mind of her own!

For a kid with braces to an ethereal elf in Lord of the Rings to a super hero’s girlfriend in the upcoming comic book flick The Incredible Hulk, Liv Tyler has achieved quite a lot. Not very many of her movies have been that much of a hit, but in the select few that have been, she has established a name for herself.

She recently appeared on the red carpet for a screening of Iron Man and looked resplendent in a sequined Stella McCartney number. Straightened hair and bangs complimented a mature style instead of the waif-ish look she has been championing all these years.

For a woman who is part of the acclaimed elite of Hollywood actresses, Liv has never resorted to any plastic surgery. She could have had a breast augmentation surgery to add volume to her breasts, but seems to have foregone it since her bustline looks the same.

She is small-breasted no doubt, but somehow a breast augmentation wouldn’t look all that great on her. When I look at her, I always get the feeling that her curves blend in with one another.

But she just might go ahead and have a cosmetic surgery procedure (she doesn’t say which one) since she dint quite like what happened to her body after she gave birth to her son Milo. Whatever she decides, I hope she gets a good plastic surgeon; it would be a pity to see such beauty botched due to bad plastic surgery practices.

Breast Surgery And Spring Cleaning To Get Your Life Back On Track:

2008-05-08T22:43:00.000-07:00

Sometime she does crazy things to get in the papers and at others she’s just a mom who loves her kids. But everybody knows and loves Pamela Anderson for being one of the first people to make breast augmentation appear on many women’s must-have lists.

And of course, how can I forget! A large part of the demographic also remembers her for being one of the original hot babes of Baywatch. Speaking of which, she has decided to give out most her Baywatch gear and underwear in a garage sale to-die-for.

The sale had many knick-knacks collected during her Baywatch days and also some of her favorite white furniture and colorful footwear.

On the heels of her third divorce, Pamela seems set to start over from scratch as everything from one of her LA mansions was put up on sale. Well, nothing like a good therapeutic spring clean to start your life over.

Apart from her repeatedly publicized breast augmentation surgery, not many people know that this blond sexpot is a natural brunette. When she was discovered at the BC Lions game she was not the bleached blond and enhanced Barbie we see today.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California thinks spring cleaning can be great for the mind and a breast augmentation need not necessarily be something to cure the divorce blues. However, a breast surgery could be a great idea if you think your body needs some enhancing.

Another Boob Job Junkie – Bianca Gascoigne:

2008-05-06T06:50:00.000-07:00

We all agree that Katie-Price is a breast augmentation junkie with various upgrades and downsizes to her credit. Following her is Jodie Marsh who despite her one-time claims to preferring natural breasts went ahead and got herself a G-normous pair of breast implants.

And from recent behavior, Bianca Gascoigne seems to have joined the ‘Boob Job Club’.

The signs are certainly all there. These women are all British and television personalities in their own right. A craving for attention and making it to the headlines everyday is another thread that binds them.

They have all had a breast augmentation to further their careers and till date Katie-Price and Bianca have not been satisfied with their respective breast implants. For all you know it may just be a matter of time till when Jodie Marsh starts complaining about her own pair.

The sad thing is Bianca is just 21 years-old and already has had two breast augmentations. The first job pumped up her breasts from an A to a size C and her latest breast augmentation boosted it further till 34DD.

Looks like she got the soccer ball craze from her footballer father Paul Gascoigne, only these are in her chests instead of being kicked about!

Always remember to select the breast implant size that will suit your body frame. For a satisfactory cosmetic breast enhancement result consult at length with your plastic surgeon so that he can help you better.

Will Men Forget What Real Breasts Are Like? Breast Augmentation Pasadena Wonders:

2008-05-05T05:19:00.000-07:00

The Sun asked this question in a column last week and it immediately got PSI wondering if this could happen.

The statistics seem to be in favor of such a predicament. As you must have read in several places across the Internet, a breast augmentation was the number one cosmetic surgery procedure performed by doctors in the U.S. last year.

If 347,500 breast enhancement surgeries were performed last year, then according to previous patterns and current trends, this number is bound to boost this year. There are 153.6 million women in the U.S. (the total number of women in the U.S. as of 2007) who have the choice of having a breast augmentation surgery.

Some of these women could have a breast surgery after a mastectomy or a lumpectomy performed to treat breast cancer (182,460 cancer cases found as of 2008). At least 26,909 women have had a breast implant removal surgery for some reason or another so far.

Breast augmentation, whether for cosmetic purposes or for medical reasons is a plastic surgery decision that is steeped in a women’s idea about her body. She might decide to not have a breast reconstruction surgery after a lumpectomy or a mastectomy, or she might decide to have one.

She might decide to have a breast enhancement as a feel-good treat for herself or she might decide to have one to further herself in her profession.

The prerogative, women, is entirely one of your own and should not be tinged by anyone else’s desires. So if you need help, get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. Our consultants are experienced in the nuances of plastic surgery and are empathetic as well.

Men may forget, but then again they usually do.

Gwyneth’s (wannabe) Bodacious Transformation – Can A Breast Surgery Make All The Difference For The Star?:

2008-04-30T04:02:00.000-07:00

Looks like the golden girl of Hollywood is finally showing her true colors, and boy, am I loving it!

The lissome blonde actress that dazzled everybody with her characterization as Shakespeare’s muse in Shakespeare in Love seemed resigned to fate of similar demure roles. But since she began touring for the promotions of her latest film Iron Man, she has adapted an edgier, sexier look.

Teetering Louboutins and goth-inspired mini dresses that expose more than what Paltrow used to cover in the past seem to have replaced her previous wardrobe. But what if she had a bit of plastic surgery to carry her transformation to va-va-voom level?

What if she had a breast augmentation? Not something ostentatious, but just adequate enough to suit her naturally thin body. When she was with her first child Apple she was rather happy with her swollen breasts. I think with the right diet plan and her new attitude, Gwyneth can carry off the big-breasted look with chutzpah.

A lot of women (and men too) who are naturally thin before pregnancy exclaim their happiness over breasts that are suddenly bigger. Some of them want to keep that look even after they have delivered their baby.

A breast augmentation Beverly Hills is a great option for naturally thin mothers. An enhanced bustline when combined with a body that looks like it has been taken care of with the right exercise plan has a certain oomph-factor.

Feel like possessing a cleavage to match the one you had when you were pregnant? Get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for a breast augmentation Beverly Hills.

When Miley Cyrus Got ‘Un-artistic’… Do We Have Another Plastic Surgery Junky In The Making?:

2008-04-28T21:48:00.000-07:00

US Weekly ranked her as the ‘#1 Power Girl’ and at 15, Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana fame is People magazine’s richest teen celebrity. With her rise to super-stardom described as nothing short of phenomenal, Miley’s latest risqué undertaking comes as nothing short of dismaying.

An Annie Leibovitz photo shoot for Vanity Fair had Miley posing topless for a photo-spread and subsequently fuming at it when it was released. Coming on the heels of several shocking photos which surfaced earlier this year, concerns of whether this young girl seems headed for the same pastures as Britney Spears or Amy Winehouse are loud.

Teenagers like Venessa Hudgens, Ashley Simpson and Jamie Lynn Spears too have attracted their fair share of controversy with nude photos in case of the first resurfacing and teenage pregnancies in case of the other two.

Physical enhancement decisions made by a lot of men and women when they are teenagers or just past their teens often mark a transition phase. In case of Denise Van Outen, Lacey Turner and Tori Spelling cosmetic enhancement and modification turned out to be a downer.

Denise Van Outen today rues her obsession with sun bed bathing when she was in her teens and now has spots and blemishes to remind her of her folly. Lacey Turner on the other hand, had a breast augmentation Newport Beach on her 19th birthday while Tori had a rhinoplasty and then a breast augmentation surgery.

It’s normal - nursing the desire to look good when you are in your teens. What’s not normal is a plastic surgery Newport Beach at such a young age. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for further advice and help.

Obesity Affecting Reconstructive Breast Surgery Orange County?:

2008-04-27T22:00:00.000-07:00

Obese individuals always have a tough time coping with the many diseases and health issues that they come across during the course of their lives. In 2006, the ASPS presented findings that suggested that obese women have greater chances of facing complications after a reconstructive breast augmentation Los Angeles surgery than patients who are simply overweight.

In a recent Science Daily report, these problems faced by obese patients were reiterated with scientists discovering that breast cancer patients have worse disease outcomes and generally go to their doctor when their cancer is in an advanced stage.

Due to the high BMI of an obese patient, reconstructive breast augmentation Beverly Hills
surgeons have noticed frequent instances of the wounds catching infections and fluid buildup among the patients. This is not a good sign and can quite hamper the recovery process.

For a woman who has just had a difficult lumpectomy or a mastectomy procedure, this could be rather traumatic.

Obesity has to be dealt with before contemplating a breast augmentation Orange County mainly for the sake of patient safety. Sure, a tummy tucks Los Angeles or a liposuction Beverly Hills
could sound like quick solutions, but in this case they are not.

Have a healthy diet plan and exercise regularly. Kill your morbid obesity, lower your BMI significantly and get back in shape before you think of having a breast augmentation Pasadena. The results are bound to be satisfactory and recovery will be better to deal with.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California is ready to help you out whenever you and your body are.

Katie Price Goes Shopping For New Boobs – Why You Shouldn’t Imitate Her:

2008-04-25T05:13:00.000-07:00

Just when I thought this crazy woman could not possibly get any more delinquent, I am rendered speechless and proven wrong with her next antic.

The woman who gives pink a bad name has gone for another visit to her plastic surgeon. For another breast reduction Orange County!! Considering that it was her breasts that got her instant attention in the first place, her latest decision to over-do them should probably come as no surprise.

I thought taking your kid out for an entire day of mindless shopping when she has chicken pox could possible be the number one stupid thing that KP could have managed to do. But no, she has managed to beat herself again with this stint.

But how smart is KP’s next breast surgery Orange County move? Till date she has had two cosmetic breast surgery procedures. A breast augmentation Los Angeles followed a breast reduction Beverly Hills and if her cosmetic surgeon agrees another of the latter procedures is bound to follow.

Talk about OD’ing on breast augmentation surgery!

Top plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California do see requests from patients who have had a bad deal from another surgeon. It is only if the corrective procedure has the potential to make the patient’s condition better do we go ahead with it. In a facility where patient safety is given paramount importance, such details are not overlooked.

Plastic Surgery Alert - Breast Surgery Orange County Advances To Aid Lumpectomy Patients:

2008-04-24T05:15:00.000-07:00

Did you know… that Cynthia Nixon, the stylish Miranda from the popular series Sex and the City, is a spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure in recognition of her silent battle with and subsequent survival from breast cancer? The organization reports 2.5 million people in the United States as having survived breast cancer!

From this large populace at least 56,000 had a reconstructive breast surgery the previous year.

What about the rest of them? Do they know about the options they have for regaining a semblance of structure in their breasts or are they simply inadequately informed?

The ASPS hopes to solve this problem if their latest effort is anything to go by. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California (an affiliate of the ASPS), found out that the cosmetic surgery body has developed three reconstructive breast augmentation Beverly Hills techniques that hopes to aid breast cancer survivors.

Nipple-sparing mastectomy, deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps and acellular dermis graft slings are the major breast augmentation Newport Beach techniques that have been worked upon by the ASPS. Performed by experienced plastic surgeons, these reconstructive breast augmentation Orange County procedures could really help women that need to have a complete mastectomy.

Younger women who hope for a preventative mastectomy due to a breast cancer gene in the family could also benefit from these reconstructive breast augmentations Los Angeles procedures which we offer at our advanced surgical institute.

Please do not hesitate to voice out your doubts, we would be glad to help you.

Mothers As Influencers For Their Daughters’ Breast Surgery Orange County?:

2008-04-24T05:11:00.000-07:00

A couple of days back I had expressed my dismay at Alicia Douvall’s sad influence on her 13 year-old daughter Georgia. The kid wanted a breast augmentation Los Angeles for her 13th birthday just because she wanted to emulate her plastic surgery crazy mother!

Another instance I came across of a mother influencing her daughter’s self-image was in an article on Tampabay.com. A grandmother was expressing her concern for her 6 year-old grandchild’s mental well-being due to the mother constantly fussing about her figure and post-tummy tuck body.

Similarly, British television celebrity Melinda Messenger seems to have been affected by her parent’s split when she was a child; enough so that her own marriage is on a rocky road today. Reports say that the one-time Mother of the Year (2003) may be the one to blame for the marriage failing due to her need to be a perfect mom.

Motherhood is a tremendous responsibility thrust upon a woman’s shoulders and while a number of them carry the burden gracefully, there are always some that do nothing short of a bad job. It would do to pay attention to what Fugen Neziroglu, the psychologist who advised the grandmother mentioned above, has to say about this issue.

If you have had a breast augmentation Newport Beach or a Mommy Makeovers Beverly Hills, it would be prudent to talk to your child and emphasize that the surgery was not done because you hated your body. It is crucial that you explain sensitive issues like body enhancement to your child or she may have a tough job accepting herself when she grows up.

Get Ready For A Dazzling Appearance With Breast Reduction Beverly Hills: The Plastic Surgery Institute of California

2008-04-23T04:50:00.000-07:00

The city of Beverly Hills is surrounded by Westwood, the Santa Monica Mountains and Hollywood. The glamorous city is full of dazzling men and women who like to look young, beautiful and trendy.

The plastic surgery procedures such as breast reduction are gaining tremendous popularity amongst the figure conscious, stylish women of Beverly Hills.

The Male Chest Enhancement Plan:

2008-04-22T06:47:00.000-07:00

Presenting… the chest enhancement plastic surgery procedure that will bequeath you less endowed men with a chest that you can crack nuts on (or at least look like you can crack nuts on it).

The procedure is a diversion of female breast enhancement surgery and is known as pectoral implant surgery. This particular cosmetic surgery augments the form and size of the pectoral muscles which are usually pumped up as a result of heavy pectoral exercises.

Men who struggle to build up this part of their body via exercise but cannot do so are usually champions of pectoral implant surgery. But before you get all excited men, it would be better to inform you that this male breast augmentation surgery can only give your chest a toned look. The procedure does not add to the muscle mass in any way.

The surgery gives the existing muscles a toned, enhanced look. For patients with congenital defects or loss of muscle in an accident or injury, the pectoral implant procedure can often reproduce a natural, even and symmetrical chest area.

Top plastic surgeons at our advanced surgical institute generally perform this cosmetic surgery using the endoscopic technique. Lasting anywhere between one to two hours, the male breast augmentation procedure uses silicone implants that conform to male body contours. You can find out more about them at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Connoisseurs Of Cosmetic Breast Surgery:

2008-04-21T22:13:00.000-07:00

Plastic surgery, due to the emphasis placed on the need for aesthetic sensibilities of in a cosmetic surgeon, is practically an art form. Regardless of its image though, it is treated by the medical profession worldwide as a serious branch of medicine.

Even in a generally corrective procedure like breast reduction, a plastic surgeon is known to place tremendous attention to the contours of the breast to lend it a look and feel that recalls a regular bust line. Patients have benefited a lot from such procedures as they can experience a very satisfactory breast enhancement surgery result.

Top plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California recommend patients to exercise caution while choosing the plastic surgeon and the place for surgery.

There are a lot of local cosmetic surgeons available, who are ever-ready to do a surgery for bargain basement prices but more often than not, they are poorly skilled, have no gradation, no proper equipment and will never be able to compensate for the harm, if any, caused to you during surgery.

Cosmetic surgery is a special type of surgery that can involve both a person's appearance and his ability to function well. Plastic surgeons strive to perk up patients' appearance and self-image through both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.

At advanced surgical institute, we pay special attention to this and have chosen the best surgeons around the globe, who offer the best services with utmost care to our patients. Our professionally qualified surgeons have a high success rate with cosmetic surgeries.

Is Plastic Surgery Right For Your Teen?

2008-04-20T21:43:00.000-07:00

With shows like “The Swan” and “MTV I Want a Famous Face”, the reach that cosmetic surgery has over people has grown wider, embracing impressionable minds as young as 12. These teenagers form a growing section of the clientele that plastic surgery attracts. And it’s not only disfigurements like protruding ears, asymmetrical breasts and acne problems that have these youngsters running for a ‘knife- style’ change.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, noted that procedures like breast augmentation, reduction mammoplasty, rhinoplasty and liposuction too are popular amongst this group. A survey by the ASPS also reported a surge in the figures from 2000 to 2005 from about 306,000 to 333,000.

Parents are advised to evaluate for themselves their progeny’s need for cosmetic surgery, especially if their children are below 18 years of age. Stable emotional maturity on part of the teenager is a trait that the parent has to ensure the child possesses.

Parents as well have to understand the implications of cosmetic surgery at such a young age, and are advised not to allow their child to under-go cosmetic surgeries for the sole purpose of societal and filial acceptance.

However, reconstructive surgeries like nose- reshaping, correction of disfigurements, etc. are good reasons for taking recourse to plastic surgery. Schedule a visit today at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. Our experienced team of doctors will provide you with an unbiased opinion on your teen’s suitability for availing our services.

You Can Forget About The Brazilian Butt Lift And Boob Job Now:

2008-04-18T05:27:00.001-07:00

Bloomberg just reported the newest addition to the list of countries cracking down on unethical and hazy cosmetic surgery standards-

Brazil

. This move by the Federal Medical Council seeks to dispel relations between

Brazil

’s plastic surgeons and the lending offices, stating the latter as against medical ethics and exposing patients to serious risks.

This move will critically hamper

Brazil

’s tourist industry and more importantly the medical tourism sector. Due to the inexpensive plastic surgery rates in this part of the world,

Brazil

has made itself a haven for cosmetic surgery patients.

Breast augmentations and operations that would usually cost a lot in the

U.S.

are the prime drawers of medical tourists to this country. The lending offices that proliferated as a supplement to this industry offered patients elaborate and attractive offers and low interest rates.

Plastic surgery practices elsewhere in the world are undergoing a similar transformation. While to an extent the questions raised about standards and ethical issues in plastic surgery are commendable, the repercussions on the average man or woman’s accessibility to cosmetic surgery could be threatened.

It’s a difficult debate and whatever the conclusion, medical boards, patients and cosmetic surgeons will not settle without a fight. In the meanwhile, you can head for your breast enhancement procedure to the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Breast Implants And Happiness:

2008-04-16T22:43:00.000-07:00

Feminine charm and curves are undoubtedly highlighted by the female breasts. The need to have perfect and toned breasts is thus foremost on a score of women’s minds. Sexy lingerie, curvy Hollywood bombshells, evolving fashion trends, music videos with amply endowed PYTs, etc. dog the average woman more than necessary throughout her day. It’s no wonder so many American women opt for breast implants and breast augmentation.

The ASPS confirms breast enhancement surgery as holding the rank of the most popular plastic surgery procedure with 3,47,500 procedures performed last year itself. If such a procedure is shown to result in improved self esteem, confidence, health and personal relationships, then breast implant procedures seem to have earned their popularity well. Patients who have had a mastectomy and suffer from physical deformities are also grateful breast implant patients.

Studies might claim to make a connection between breast implants and rising suicide rates; but the care that plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California provide, enable you to have a comfortable and pleasant transition from your old body to your newly enhanced one. The post surgery precautions are crucial for a patient’s health and we ensure that follow up care is provided to help you with a smooth healing process.

Puff That Chest With Pride:

2008-04-16T05:46:00.000-07:00

There are some men who huff, puff and go through all the required paces, but still face the disappointment of seeing their chests refusing to gain that buffed, hard-muscled look. And then again, there are those who achieve that kind of a chest by simply having a pectoral implant.

If women can enhance their breast size via breast augmentation, than the options available for men are bound to include pectoral implants. The procedure works on the same lines as a breast implant procedure.

An implant made of solid silicone (unlike the softer gel implants used for women) is inserted under the pectoralis muscle in the chest area. The incision is usually hidden in the arm pits. Even if you change your mind, the implants are easily removable with the recovery time for removal being less than what it was for insertion. A reversal of this procedure should be avoided though unless it is for health reasons.

A few important issues have to be considered before having this plastic surgery procedure. The implants will not add definition to your chest muscles. They are only capable of providing volume.

Like all surgeries, a pec implant surgery too involves complications like displacement of the implants, hematoma, seroma, and numbness in the upper arm. Proper consultation and a qualified cosmetic surgeon can go a long way in ensuring your health and safety. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more help.

An iPod, Perfume, Boob Job And A 13 Year-old:

2008-04-15T23:38:00.001-07:00

Now this is breaking news! Everybody knows Alicia Douvall for being somebody you wouldn’t want to about (exceptions of the male kind may be made). One-time star of Celebrity Love Island, Alicia’s well known for her less than demure outlook on clothing and partying and her obsessive regard for plastic surgery.

Her daughter is set, it seems, on a career as a lingerie model later in life and she just might succeed given her genes and her mother’s quite persuasive nature! But before she does that, Georgia Douvall wants a breast augmentation for her 13^th birthday.

I mean c’mon, your body’s barely hit puberty and is yet working out exactly what your future breast size is going to be and breast implants? Give the kid a game of scrabble I say, it can help her enhance an even more vital part of her body!

After all the efforts being done to curb the need for cosmetic teenage plastic surgery and various other body modifications that may turn out to be harmful in the long run, this certainly comes as something of a shocker.

Alicia could do well to hustle her daughter towards a healthier outlook on her body and keep the breast augmentation for when she’s past the growing stage. At our advanced surgical institute we certainly recommend this.

Breast Surgery Tales - Augmentation To Improve Sex Life!:

2008-04-14T06:31:00.000-07:00

Jodie Marsh feels that she has a better sex life when she feels good about her body. This is one of the main reasons why she went and had a combination of a breast augmentation and a breast lift.

This busty beauty once famously went about having the words ‘REAL’ written across her chest and was a staunch defender of the natural cleavage and un-tampered boobs. So when she changed her 32DD to a 32GG everybody wondered. She exclaims rather airily, “I could meet the perfect man tomorrow and if I do, I’ve now got perfect boobs for him.”

For those in the dark about this crazy woman, Jodie starred in the MTV reality show Jodie Marsh: Who’ll Take Her Up The Aisle? After she got her dream hubby, the relationship predictably fizzled out in front of a million viewing eyes.

Currently Marsh is heavily into a ‘casual’ relationship which she is hoping to spice up with her newly enhanced breasts. Seriously, when ever will reality stars get a grip on reality! All they seem to be doing is lose any sense of it.

Now, if you want a breast augmentation it shouldn’t be because you want to impress your partner or improve your sexual life. Get a breast enhancement because you want it for yourself, to improve the look and feel of your body.

If you are having any doubts about breast surgery, call the advanced surgical institute, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Adding Cleavage Artificially? How About A Breast Enhancement?:

2008-04-11T02:10:00.000-07:00

Kate Hudson reasons people say good things about her may be because of her “big, flamboyant, open personality.” With a megawatt smile just like her mother Goldie Hawn, Kate is a natural stunner and part of her appeal lies in her almost non-existent and very un-flamboyant cleavage, a stark contrast to most actresses her age and below who fuss constantly over theirs.

I barely recognized her when the promos for her latest film Fool’s Gold came out as she looks a tad more endowed than she normally is. But no, she did not have a quickie breast augmentation; rather the marketing managers working on the promos did a little breast enhancement work of their own.

Keira Knightley was another actress who looked positively overflowing in her role as Elizabeth Swan in the Pirates... movies but is anything but in real life. She too had a quickie breast enhancement at the hands of the movie’s makeup and art department.

These are Hollywood dazzlers we are talking about however, and for real women there are no round-the-clock makeup departments or digital artists to create the illusion of a naturally buxom bosom. A better option is breast augmentation using breast implants or fat transplants.

Plastic surgeons at the Plastic surgery Institute of California, an advanced surgical institute for cosmetic enhancement can create breasts that not only suit your body, but you can be comfortable with. Step in for a quick examination and a thorough consultation.

Know More – The Anchor-shaped Breast Lift:

2008-04-08T22:03:00.001-07:00

If you are facing really severe breast sag, then it is very likely your plastic surgeon will inform you that he needs to perform an anchor-shaped mastopexy. Don’t let that big term confuse you though. It is just a type of breast lift procedure.

The anchor-shaped breast lift technique is the most common of the mastopexy techniques and plastic surgeons have performed it quite successfully on patients. This cosmetic breast lift technique derives its name from the anchor-shaped incision that is made on the breast of the patient.

The incision is more true to the natural shape of the breast and pulls the areola, the nipple and the excess sagging skin towards each other to give the breast an enhanced look.

Besides the anchor-shaped breast lift, cosmetic surgeons can also perform the periareolar incision which involves less scarring. The difference in scarring levels is caused due to the amount of excess skin which requires the plastic surgeon to cut a longer incision in case of the anchor-shaped mastopexy.

If you are considering a breast lift to correct sagging breasts, contact the expert plastic surgery consultants at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. We will connect you to plastic surgeons that will examine you for the breast lift surgery procedure that is best for your body.

Teen Breast Augmentation Concerns In Foreign Countries:

2008-04-07T01:43:00.000-07:00

Eighteen year old Stephanie Kuleba’s death due to complications during a breast augmentation surgery raised questions about the sensibility of encouraging elective plastic surgery among teenagers in America. The repercussions of this concern are being felt worldwide with various countries seeing a rise in teenage plastic surgery figures.

In India, doctors are noticing a 20-25 percent increase in the number of teenagers contacting them for a plastic surgery procedure. They cite cosmetic breast augmentation and corrective breast reduction as the most popular cosmetic surgeries requested by girls and boys respectively.

In Australia, the state of Queensland already bans people under eighteen from having any body piercing or tattoos and cosmetic surgery is all set to be included in the list as well. This country too seen a 20 percent rise in requests for cosmetic surgery from teenage girls.

Zoning in again to the U.S., the Donda West Law is on the verge of attaining success and leading the government seeking a revision of who’s to have a plastic surgery and who cannot have one. Following the death of Donda West due to complications arising during a combination breast reduction surgery, a tummy tuck liposuction treatment, relatives sought out legal precautions to prevent a repeat.

Breast Implant Rumors:

2008-04-04T06:39:00.000-07:00

AskMen.com has this to say about the Heroes actress, Kristen Bell, “Some women look like scary hags without makeup, but Kristen Bell is not one of them.” For a girl who was “not nearly pretty enough to play the pretty girl and not homely enough to play the ugly girl” this might seem like an odd evaluation, but then rumors about her having a breast augmentation are definitely odder.

A natural B cup, Kristen has a very slender frame edging just barely on the slight. If she had a breast augmentation, it would definitely show on her figure, and hey, she ain’t looking over-stuffed from any angle as far as I can see!

Whether she plans on having a breast implant fitted in or not, Kristen Bell still remains one of the few actresses not open to the idea of baring their breasts for a shot. It’s her personal decision though, as it doesn’t stop her from supporting her co-star from baring it all.

The 28 year-old’s strong convictions seem hard to believe when you look at the rest of the young starlets her age who have dabbled in various excesses (heroin, too much Botox, overexposure) and less (skimpy clothes, brains, class). How far her convictions stand by her is another matter to altogether.

Make a wise plastic surgery decision when you are young and have a breast augmentation only when you think is the right time for you. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for advice and consultation.

Mastopexy And The Woman:

2008-04-03T06:41:00.001-07:00

A breast lift or a mastopexy procedure is more of a cosmetic consideration rather than a health requirement. Certain cases however, can be called serious considerations for having this plastic surgery procedure.

Women who sometimes have one breast lower than the other or whose nipples and areolas droop downwards are reasons why a corrective breast lift is performed. Stretched skin over the breast, enlarged areolas, pendulous breasts and breasts with less volume are also reasons why you can go ahead with a breast lift procedure.

The main takers of a breast lift however, are the group of women who have just given birth or have stopped breast feeding. Plastic surgeons discourage the former group from having a breast lift on the heels of a delivery and encourage the latter to have one when they are sure that they no longer want to breast feed.

Breasts lifts are also popular among those above 50 years of age. The combined effects of gravity and age cause a lot of women to consider this cosmetic breast surgery procedure. Not everyone is blessed with Madonna’s brawn and stamina!

Before taking a decision to have a major elective surgery like breast lift, consult a plastic surgeon that you are sure is a member of or affiliated with a recognized plastic surgery board like the ASPS. Start your search from the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Corrective Vs. Cosmetic Breast Surgery:

2008-04-01T06:12:00.001-07:00

This is one debate that seems destined to meet with a dead end every time the subject is broached. Arizona State senators face a similar problem with a move to give women who chose to install ‘non-original equipment’ in their bodies a tax break. On implants inserted for cosmetic purposes a 5.6 percent sales tax is imposed.

The line that distinguishes cosmetic breast augmentation from reconstructive breast surgery is a fine one. Breast surgeries for corrective reasons include breast implant surgery performed for those who have lost a breast or both breasts due to cancerous outgrowths in the breast region.

A reconstructive surgery for correcting misaligned breasts might even be argued to be a cosmetic procedure as the outcome is to improve the appearance of the breasts.

One argument claims it unfair to tax surgery of any kind since it is a medical service that is requested and paid for. As medical practitioners perform plastic surgery procedures like breast augmentation, it is argued that the revenue departments do not have to tax them.

Currently, insurance companies do not view breast augmentation as a medical necessity and obtaining a loan or medical insurance for this procedure is a difficult process. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, experienced consultants can help determine the difference between corrective breast augmentation and cosmetic breast enhancement.

A Normal Life:

2008-04-01T06:08:00.000-07:00

Every one to ten days a baby is born in the United States with Poland’s Syndrome, a chest wall anomaly. Characterized by an absence of the pectoralis muscle and at times a webbed appearance of the fingers of the same side of the body, this rare condition is a congenital disorder.

Poland’s Syndrome has been observed to affect girls more than boys with the latter group displaying less visible signs. Usually girls who are affected by this condition can receive help from a reconstructive breast surgery procedure to correct asymmetry in breasts.

Plastic surgeons, when confronted with a reconstructive breast surgery to correct breast asymmetry have to study patients for three essential requirements.

The development of the breasts has to be evaluated with the help of the patient.
The extent of the chest wall deformity has to be established.
The availability of the latissimus dorsi muscle has to be determined.

Without the patient meeting these three requirements, the plastic surgeon cannot go ahead with the procedure. Delaying reconstructive breast surgery till these conditions are met or can be resolved is the prudent step to take in this case. The discomfort faced would not be a physical one as much as an aesthetic one.

Poland

’s Syndrome benefited greatly from this plastic surgery procedure.

Breast Surgery Popularity Figures:

2008-04-01T06:06:00.000-07:00

How about that? Breast augmentation has been the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure for 20 years in a row! The Harley Medical Group, a UK cosmetic surgery provider, published its latest findings which highlighted the popularity attained by this form of cosmetic breast surgery.

Regardless of the fact that the study was conducted on UK residents, the world wide implications of this particular breast surgery procedure are no different. Breast augmentation, in its early days was a favorite among the rich and those femme fatales inclined towards the arc lights.

Today, people view it with a more level-headed approach; especially once the benefits it posed for breast cancer survivors were realized. Breast augmentation using tissue transfers and fat or silicone transplants is increasingly being adapted by women who have had a mastectomy or a lumpectomy.

The field of reconstructive breast surgery has given hope and help for a number of women who have found it difficult to deal with a body sans breasts. Plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California offer reconstructive breast augmentation services as well as cosmetic breast enhancements for women.

At our advanced surgical institute, we offer patients the chance to get a better body and experience a better outlook on life. Feel free to visit us for more information.

Quickie Boob Jobs:

2008-03-31T06:47:00.000-07:00

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?:

2008-03-31T01:27:00.001-07:00

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:

2008-03-30T21:26:00.001-07:00

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:

2008-03-28T04:36:00.000-07:00

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:

2008-03-27T04:44:00.001-07:00

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:

2008-03-27T04:28:00.000-07:00

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:

2008-03-27T04:24:00.000-07:00

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 augmentation breast 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:

2008-03-26T06:45:00.000-07:00

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.

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:

2008-03-25T06:45:00.000-07:00

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:

2008-03-24T21:35:00.000-07:00

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:

2008-03-23T21:27:00.001-07:00

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:

2008-03-20T04:49:00.001-07:00

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:

2008-03-19T05:47:00.001-07:00

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:

2008-03-18T05:17:00.000-07:00

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 surgery abdominoplasty, 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:

2008-03-17T00:09:00.000-07:00

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:

2008-03-14T04:37:00.000-07:00

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…:

2008-03-14T04:35:00.000-07:00

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:

2008-03-04T02:51:00.000-08:00

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.

Areolar Reduction:

2008-02-29T05:25:00.000-08:00

The nipple is actually divided into two parts: the nipple, which projects out and the areola or the dark pigmented skin that surrounds the projection. A small segment of women have nipples that are enlarged more than the normal size.

The reasons for this are usually genetic with breastfeeding and pregnancy counted as secondary factors. Enlarged nipples can be rather embarrassing for most women, especially when they wearing form-fitting clothes.

But women are not alone in facing this dilemma; men are known to exhibit large nipples as well. Sometimes it may be a result of gynecomastia and at times the condition could be simply genetic.

For both sexes, nipple reduction or areolar reduction cosmetic surgery procedures are available, which significantly reduce the size of the nipples to get them in proportion with the rest of the breast.

A nipple reduction surgery is usually performed on an out-patient basis and can be wrapped up within an hour. It can also be performed as a supplementary procedure to breast reduction, breast augmentation or a breast lift surgery.

The recovery period is not very long for a nipple reduction surgery, though it might take a while if combined with another cosmetic breast surgery procedure. You can visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to know more about your options for an areolar reduction surgery.

Milk Production And Breast Surgery:

2008-02-29T04:56:00.000-08:00

Plastic surgeons discourage women who wish to have a child and breastfeed in the future from having a breast reduction surgery. This is mainly because of the major alterations in skin and breast tissue that are involved in this surgery.

Plastic surgery has advanced enough in recent years to ensure the breastfeeding abilities of a woman. Techniques that preserve the milk-producing tissue are being reviewed and incorporated in breast reduction procedures and other surgeries like breast augmentation, breast lifts and even mastectomies and nipple reconstructions.

It is important to preserve the state of the milk ducts in a cosmetic breast surgery procedure besides protecting the nerves that affect the release of milk as well. If damaged, these ducts and nerves can be regenerated with the help of procedures like recanalization and reinnervation respectively.

In case the generation of milk and its release is reduced after a breast surgery, there is help for women. The Breast Feeding After Reduction (BFAR) website is an information and support portal for parents and mothers who wish to beast-feed after a breast reduction surgery.

If you wish to have a breast surgery and retain the ability to breastfeed your child, we can help you with a cosmetic surgery procedure that can suit you. Visit us at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Are You In Need Of Some Serious Under-sizing?

2008-02-29T04:19:00.000-08:00

Most reports of women who have large breasts state problems that range from the minor to debilitating. Bras that don’t seem to fit, clothes that are king-sized, skin irritation and rash, neck, shoulder and back pain, stretched, ugly looking areolas, stretched skin and a host of other problems plague women who are largely ‘endowed’.

In light of these physical problems, large breasts are hardly a blessing for this group of women. Compared to the number of women who would do anything for augmented breasts, breast reduction patients are a rather glaring contradiction.

From the standpoint of a mastectomy performed to treat breast cancer, plastic surgeons recommend a breast reduction procedure to get the breast that is unaffected in symmetry with the operated breast.

Like breast surgery of any kind, plastic surgeons advise patients to have a breast reduction surgery only after the breast tissue has stopped developing. Women who wish to have babies and breast-feed are absolutely discouraged from having a breast reduction surgery.

The decision to have a breast reduction surgery is an important one and can help improve the physical and psychological health of the woman. But it is important to discuss with your physician or plastic surgeon the health requirements that are necessary for a breast lift plastic surgery.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for expert advice and consultation for a breast reduction surgery.

Why Breast Lifts?

2008-02-29T03:51:00.001-08:00

Simply because women, who are according to the standards set by beauty – ‘past their prime’, desire to look and feel young again. The wonderful part about a breast lift surgery is the pert and toned contours that breasts embody post-surgery.

A breast lift cosmetic procedure is not a surgery exclusively for older women however. Younger women, especially new mothers, and women who have small breasts are known to have a breast lift surgery as well.

Even then, plastic surgeons recommend a breast lift surgery only after the breasts have completed developing. Factors like pregnancy and breast-feeding are known to have a different effect on the shape of the breasts.

Breast lift surgery can also reduce the size of the areola as the procedure displaces the nipple from its previous position. The incisions made by the cosmetic surgeon are along the original contours of the breasts and removes the unwanted skin. The surrounding skin is then pulled down and the areola and nipples are lifted up.

At times, a breast lift surgery is supplemented by a breast augmentation surgery. Cosmetic surgeons insert silicone implants in the breast tissue to get breasts back in symmetry and prevent them from sagging.

The breast lift surgical procedure is purely cosmetic in nature and is included in the body contouring procedures that plastic surgeons devise for a complete body makeover. To know more about the breast lift surgery and its suitability for you, visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Nipple Reconstruction – An Overview:

2008-02-29T00:05:00.001-08:00

Most women feel completely restored from a breast reconstruction only after a nipple reconstruction. Doctors perform this procedure as a final step in reconstructive breast surgery mainly because the reconstructed nipple cannot be shifted later.

Surgeons make use of an assortment of techniques to reconstruct nipples. Intra-dermal tattooing, flaps using local tissue and skin or cartilage grafting are some of these techniques. Plastic surgeons suggest delaying nipple reconstruction till the body has adjusted to the reconstructed breast.

A common complaint of nipple reconstruction is the decrease in projection and flattening of the nipple over time. This causes some people to go in for secondary procedures at times.

There are non-surgical nipple options available for patients as well with nipple prostheses that can be custom-made. Such nipple prostheses are created in a mould to match the nipple of the other breast and can be stuck on the reconstructed breast. The prostheses are made of silicone.

Plastic surgery is not a frippery as the media makes it out to be, especially not when it can help women fight the battle against breast cancer. Reconstructive breast surgery has helped a lot of women get back to their normal life with their head held high.

You can visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for any advice and cosmetic procedures like breast reconstruction, breast augmentation and breast reduction.

Techniques Of Breast Reconstruction:

2008-02-29T00:04:00.001-08:00

A breast reconstruction surgery is performed using one of three main techniques:

m Breast implants

m Tissue expansion

m Tissue reconstruction

Due to the complexity of the procedure neither of the breast reconstruction techniques related above can be completed in one operation. The main influencing factors for breast reconstruction involve the amount of breast tissue that has been removed during the mastectomy, the body size and the personal preferences of the patient.

Women who are heavy smokers, diabetics, obese and/or have had radiotherapy are completely unsuitable for a plastic surgery procedure like breast reconstruction. After a screening procedure, the plastic surgeon determines the breast reconstruction technique that is suitable for the patient.

While breast implants are preferred by most women due to the comparatively short procedure, tissue expansion is recommended by most plastic surgeons. It involves inserting an implant in the pectoral muscle which has been expanded deliberately for a period of time.

Tissue expansion is a gradual process and it can take several months to complete the procedure. Breast tissue reconstruction is the most complex procedure from the three reconstruction techniques and involves transferring a section of skin, muscle, fat and blood vessels from other parts of the body to the chest region.

Make sure your plastic surgeon informs you about the different techniques of breast reconstruction and discusses the one best suited for you. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more help.

After Conquering The Breast Cancer Devil:

2008-02-29T00:02:00.000-08:00

A mastectomy or a lumpectomy is a harrowing experience in itself for women who have been victims of cancer. It is impossible to emerge unscathed from a struggle with breast cancer. The psychological and physical ramifications last long after the surgery.

One way surgeons have devised to get women back to a semblance of their pre-cancer life is a breast reconstruction plastic surgery. The main aim of a breast reconstruction is to use the patient’s own body tissues to construct a new breast. Plastic surgeons achieve this using fat deposits, muscle tissue and skin from the abdomen, buttock or the thigh regions.

Some cases of breast reconstruction plastic surgery require the use of synthetic material like breast implants to build the breast tissue. Using a combination of implants and inherent tissues is not uncommon for a breast reconstruction surgery.

The reconstructive surgery can be either performed during the cancer surgery or it can be performed after the patient has recovered sufficiently. Most surgeons prefer a breast reconstruction procedure during a cancer surgery.

The newly reconstructed breasts will be different from the old breasts and more than one procedure is often necessary before a more natural looking form can be achieved. Sensation in the breast area will also change after a breast reconstruction.

The battle against cancer is not easy and banishing it completely can be more difficult. You can visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for honest consultation and advice.

The Reasons Behind Gynecomastia:

2008-02-28T03:57:00.001-08:00

You never might have imagined that lavender and tea tree oils could be the reason for prepubertal gynecomastia. But the researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) do believe it to be very likely.

The study found these essential oils to be similar to the female hormone estrogen, countering the effects of male androgens. In a way, this study simply compounds the observations of medical experts who hold the hormonal imbalance that boys undergo during puberty to be responsible for gynecomastia.

Such imbalances cause the breast tissue to grow under the nipples in the male body. Some cases of prepubertal gynecomastia naturally lose the breast tissue while some are affected well into adulthood.

About 50 percent of gynecomastia cases in grown males are found to be the result of perpubertal gynecomastia. Medical reasons are counted in this margin as well with the side-effects of certain medicines held to be triggering factors.

Drugs and anabolic steroids are other reasons for occurrences of gynecomastia among adult males. Tumors, hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney diseases form the other reasons.

If you have excess male tissue as a result of any of the above reasons, you are not alone. Every year 14,000 men face the plastic surgeon for getting rid of excess male breast tissue. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more information on dealing with gynecomastia.

Breast Ironing And Breast Augmentation:

2008-02-28T03:56:00.001-08:00

Zero in to Cameroon, a country in Africa, where young teenage girls are pounded mercilessly on their breasts with hot pestles, coconut shells and assorted material. This practice, known as breast ironing, is done in the name of tradition and protection from the roaming eyes of men.

About 50 percent of young girls in Africa suffer from this depressing practice and a lot of them come out from it scarred for life- both emotionally as well as physically. Medical experts have determined that such severe modification of the breast tissue can lead to breast cancer and cyst formation.

Zero in to California, a state in North America, where young teenage girls get gifted a set of new breasts for their high school graduation. This practice, known as breast augmentation, is done in the name of social acceptance and is seen as an indicator of physical beauty.

About 35 percent of young girls in America gladly go in for a breast augmentation procedure and while some of them come satisfied with their new bodies, some are filled with a need for more surgery. Medical experts have determined that breast augmentation in teenage girls can lead to complications in the future as the breast tissue is yet developing and changing.

Two different cultures and two different ways to look at a blooming, blossoming young body. The human body is meant to grow naturally during the developing stage of adolescence.

If you are troubled about your young teenage daughter’s wish for a breast augmentation procedure, contact the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. We can help you and provide you with unbiased information.

The Not-So-Humble Bra:

2008-02-27T01:49:00.000-08:00

The piece of women’s clothing known as a bra has come a long way from making the U.S. War Industries Board request women to stop wearing metal-rich corsets to reduce metal consumption to the bra-burning days of women’s lib.

Women all over the world have a lot of people to be thankful for as the history of this much-hidden but very supportive garment has been rather colorful. The ancient civilization of Crete is held to be the original birthplace of the bra with its women wearing something like it to support their breasts.

The early bras gave away to the very restrictive and uncomfortable corsets, which alternatively down-played and pushed-up the female breasts depending on the ways of the times. Numerous innovations and innovators later, the bra coalesced into its present form and family of variations.

Today, medical researchers recommend women to wear a bra all the time so that the breasts have adequate support. Without proper support, the breasts can sag and appear un-toned.

Even after a breast surgery like breast augmentation, plastic surgeons recommend patients investing in special support bras or a compression garment. Doing so has been observed to improve blood circulation, minimize post-surgery swelling, flush out harmful fluids from the body and reduce the recovery time.

Compression garments prevent newly formed scars from stretching as well. Recovering from a breast augmentation procedure or a breast surgery is a long process which can only be speeded by following the post-surgery advice relayed by your plastic surgeon.

A Breast Implant In The Calf:

2008-02-26T04:22:00.000-08:00

There are some things that are believed to be simply impossible, like the mythological floods, the ban on firearms for U.S. civilians and the insertion of breast implants in the calf.

Come again you say, breast implants in the leg? Now that’s something that sounds completely implausible. But Lane Jensen has gone ahead and done just that. He got silicone breast implants inserted into a tattoo of a buxom girl on his calf to make the effect look more ‘3D’.

But Lane is not the only one to have something like this done on his body. There is an entire culture out there that swears by body modifications. Tattoo artists and body modification artists are the main propagators of this bizarre art from.

From devilish horns in the temple to star shaped sternum Teflon implants and spikes in the scalp, they do it all and on practically any part of the anatomy. Most body modification artists recommend these physical alterations only for those who are aware of the risks involved.

And the risks involved are rather considerable and somewhat similar to regular plastic surgery implants. Needless to say, Jensen’s silicone calf implants were rejected by his body and had to be taken out after lymphatic ooze came pouring out of the incision.

While as an art form body modifications are to be respected, it is necessary that people understand the risks involving modifications like Teflon or silicone implants. It can get rather ugly when they turn back on you.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more advice and help on breast implants made of silicone gel or saline solution.

Endowment And Its Strange Appeal:

2008-02-25T20:49:00.000-08:00

As much as Kim Kardashian and the rest of Hollywood’s buxom-chested beauties are closely followed for their iconic mummeries, Kiera Knightley and the likes of Hillary Swank are known for their lack of them; and are admired for keeping it so. Actually, they do have sizeable bosoms on them, but the presence is not as in-your-face as the former group.

Actresses like Kiera Knightley, Hillary Swank and Gwyneth Paltrow are a rare breed of women in an industry where it is natural to be fastidious about lifestyle indicators like pet gym memberships, plastic surgery procedure count and designer maternity wear. Kiera Knightley however admits that she does face some consternation over her assets from film directors with her being required to choose doubles for her derriere as well.

For her movie Pirates of the Caribbean, Knightley’s role required her to look the part of a buxom lady-pirate, a feat achieved by an almost dying ‘art’ form of Hollywood make-up, the bosom make-up.

For the rest of us non-celebrities there is breast surgery that we can look forward to for breast enhancement. Procedures like breast reductions, breast augmentation, breast lifts and other breast surgery procedures can be performed by plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Who Will Pay For Your Boob Job?

2008-02-24T21:06:00.001-08:00

Let’s face it, cosmetic surgery treatments like a breast augmentation or a liposuction procedure can be expensive. There are no two ways about it and you will have to convince the bank that you are having a surgery because it is going to save you from a health risk before they decide to give you a loan.

While reconstructive cosmetic surgery procedures that can help you correct or remove a health risk do enjoy financial assistance, treatments and surgeries that are purely cosmetic in nature and purpose find no such relief. So you may hope for help to correct ear deformities in your child, but you can forget about similar help for the boob job that you so desperately want.

This is where mommies and young women both, turn to methods like online sponsors and beauty contests. There are online cosmetic surgery sites that are barely short of an adult social network and there are retail promotions that run contests with a breast surgery or some other cosmetic surgery procedure as the reward.

Due to issues of patient safety standards and surgeon credibility it is better to steer clear of such attractions. Entrusting an important decision like plastic surgery to a stranger you met online or the whims of lady luck is a bad idea. What do you do when a major complication arises?

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California and we can help you if you are facing a financial dilemma and yet desire a plastic surgery. Our experienced consultants can help you find an agreeable solution.

What To Do When Your Sack Of Joy Ruptures:

2008-02-24T21:03:00.000-08:00

Contact your doctor.

Medical experts suggest removing a breast implant completely in case of a rupture, especially if the implant is silicone gel filled. This gel has a nasty tendency to seep into the breast tissue and harm it. It is also known to cause damage to the lungs and the lymph nodes.

If ruptured silicone gel filled breast implants are not removed in time, the patient will have to undergo a mastectomy to remove the entire breast tissue. There are chances of the body being prone to diseases and infections as well if a breast implant is damaged.

A ruptured breast implant can be detected by the patient in cases where the causes are accidental shock to the breast or regular stress on the breast. But there are cases where punctured breast implants are known to pass notice if they are old or if there is an accidental cut during the breast augmentation surgery.

The symptoms of a ruptured implant can be isolated to a certain extent and include a decrease in the breast implant size, tenderness, numbness, lumps, breast rash, chest pain, etc.

It is best to have a mammogram or even better, an ultrasound or an MRI to confirm a rupture. For this you have to get in touch with a doctor or your plastic surgeon. If your plastic surgeon is unsatisfactory you can get in touch with us at the Plastic Surgery of California to help you out.

Possible Surgery Complication – Capsular Contracture:

Plastic surgeons and medical experts always stress on the fact that surgery of any kind is not without a certain amount of risk. In the case of a surgery to enhance the breast using breast implants, the surgeon ascertains that the patient is made aware of the nature of a beast augmentation surgery and the complications involved.

In the course of the consultation and examination process, plastic surgeons relate capsular contracture as a possible complication that might take place post-surgery. At least 16 percent of breast surgery patients are said to exhibit capsular contracture according to an Inamed survey. The FDA describes this occurrence as a tightening of the scar tissue that is supposed to form around the breast implant.

Capsular contracture may occur in either or both the inserted implants. The implant is squeezed as a result of this condition, making it very painful and uncomfortable for the patient. A four grade system known as Baker grades is used by plastic surgeons for determining the severity of this condition.

Grades III and IV especially require a re-operation with a capsulectomy (complete removal of the capsule) as the best solution. As a capsulotomy (removal of scar formation by cutting off the capsule) causes the problem to persist, complete removal of the layers of collagen along with the capsule on which they occur is the better course to take.

Remember, breast implants are not permanent and do not suit everyone. Your plastic surgeon will be able to guide best for a breast augmentation surgery using silicone or saline filled implants.

Nothing Lasts Forever:

The pursuit of happiness is a life-long quest and the pursuit of beauty often crosses paths with it. Plastic surgery does the best it can to let these two roads converge smoothly.

The human body is a complex entity, often rejecting or prolonging adaptation of those elements which are foreign to it regardless of the benefits they may have. Breast implants that are made of silicone too face this obstacle more often then not.

While they have been approved for medical use by the Food and Drug Association (FDA), they do have a limited period of use. Carol Ciancutti-Levya, director of an anti-implant documentary states that breast implants may last for less than ten years or for more than ten years.

There are even chances of the implants rupturing over time and changing position, which is why experienced plastic surgeons inform their patients about the complications and risks involved before-hand. Patients are required to sign the documents for a breast surgery only after they fully understand the risks involved.

The two manufacturers of breast implants, Allergan Inc. and Mentor Corp. even offer a 10 year replacement guarantee for breast implants and discharge a part of the surgical fees.

Such precautions and high safety standards are relieving as they give the patient a good idea of what is involved in a breast enhancement procedure. Based upon the warnings and risks involved, they can make a decision.

We can help you if you want an honest and through diagnosis for a breast augmentation surgery. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California follows high standards of service and treatment.

Signs Of A Bad Boob Job:

Breast implant manufacturer Mentor Corp. agree that choosing the right breast size may very well be the most difficult decision that breast augmentation patients make. Plastic surgeons only advise patients who have adequate breast tissue mass to go ahead with a breast implant surgery.

The presence of adequate breast tissue is thus very important for a successful breast augmentation and a satisfactory breast shape. If this requirement is not met, there is nothing that the cosmetic surgeon can do to prevent the edges of the implant from showing against the skin.

And this is something you really wouldn’t want. Think Jade Goody. Her implants are highlighted too starkly against her skin.

Bigger, rounder breasts for some reason find a lot of takers among petite framed women but they fare rather bad for the body. Big breast implants are often inserted for such small-framed women making the skin stretch unnaturally over the underlying tissue.

Irregular scarring as a result of a combined breast lift and breast augmentation procedure is often observed among patients. There is a possibility of the tissue rippling or denting which makes such scarring even more pronounced.

While such breast implant problems are not uncommon, they can be prevented to a large extent if your breast surgery doctor knows his job well and is certified by an accredited board of plastic surgery like the ASPS.

The cosmetic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery of California can help you in your decision to get a breast enhancement surgery.

Creams For Boosting Busts:

Late last year, Reuters published a news piece on the increasing popularity of breast lift creams among Asian women. These ‘breast enhancement’ creams are viewed by a majority of slender-framed Asian women to resurrect their flat bustlines. The financial officer of a distributor of breast creams even claimed to sell more than one million boxes per year.

Regardless of the fact that breast implants and other plastic surgery for the breast enjoy immense popularity in the South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore markets, women seem to prefer less expensive and non-invasive breast creams.

The FDA, the regulating body in the U.S. for health products, frowns on these breast enhancement creams. According to the researchers at the FDA, “At best, devices promoted as breast developers merely strengthen and develop the muscles that support the breasts, and exercising these muscles will not really increase breast size.”

Breast implants that are used for breast enhancement and breast augmentation are however approved by the FDA. Made of silicone, these breast implants are known to last for ten years in some cases.

While a breast augmentation surgery is by no means a simple and risk-free procedure, it is an approved and safer method for breast enhancement. Health experts discourage the use of breast enhancement creams and lotions as they are known to contain phytoestrogens which can prove very harmful for women prone to particular types of breast cancer.

It’s your body; do not let it fall prey to false promises of enhancing it. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for breast augmentation surgery.
