Breast: : Implants,Types,Risks,Maintenance

Women can make their breast looks perfect according to their desire. They can get breast implants to make their breasts bigger and fuller. That can be done for reconstructive purposes, such as after mastectomy for breast cancer, or for cosmetic reasons. This article discusses the types of breast implants available, the procedures used, and possible complications. Beside this they also can have breast lift, breast reduction, breast reconstruction or breast liposuction at any time. 

Saline and Silicone Breast Implants

There are two types of breast implants: saline and silicone.

Saline-filled implants are silicone shells filled with sterile salt water (saline). Silicone-filled implants are silicone shells filled with a plastic gel (silicone). Although many women say that silicone implants feel more like real breasts than saline, they pose more of a risk if they leak.

In 1992, the FDA halted the sale of silicone implants because of safety concerns. In 2006, after reviewing more research, the FDA started allowing certain silicone breast implants back on the market.

Recovery After Breast Implantation

Your breasts will be covered with gauze after the surgery. You may have drainage tubes, which will be removed in a few days. You may need to wear a surgical bra as you heal.

You'll need to take it easy for a few days after your breast augmentation surgery. For instance, you shouldn't do any heavy lifting for up to six weeks after getting your implants.

Possible Complications

Although it is a cosmetic procedure, breast implant surgery can have risks, such as:

• Breast pain
• Changes in sensation in the nipple and breast
• Scar tissue forming and hardening in the area around the implant
• Scarring
• Bleeding
• Infection

Problems with the size or shape of the implants (for example, the breasts may not be symmetrical)

It is also possible for implants to rupture and leak. If saline implants rupture, the saline will be safely absorbed by the body. A silicone leak may stay inside the implant shell or leak outside of the shell. When a saline implant ruptures, it will deflate. But silicone breast implants may cause no obvious symptoms when they rupture. This is called silent rupture.

Maintenance

Breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime. You may need to have the implants replaced if you have complications or if the size and shape of your breasts change over time.

Women who have silicone gel-filled implants will need to get an MRI scan three years after the implant surgery and then MRI scans about every two years to check for silent rupture. If your implants rupture, you will need to have them removed or replaced.

Having breast implants can make it more difficult to get a mammogram, but special X-ray views can be done. There is a chance breast implants may make you more likely to get breast cancer. Breast implants also may make it harder for you to breastfeed.

Liposuction: What,Why,How,Risks,Complications

Liposuction removes fat from your body using suction. During liposuction, small, thin, blunt-tipped tubes (cannula) are inserted through tiny cuts in the skin. Fat is suctioned out through these tubes as the doctor moves the tubes around under the skin to target specific fat deposits.

In recent years, improved techniques have made liposuction safer, easier, and less painful. These newer techniques include:

Tumescent liposuction. A local anesthetic is used to numb the area of your body where the tube will be inserted. Next, a large amount of an anesthetic solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine is injected into the fatty tissue before traditional liposuction is done. Tumescent liposuction may not require general anesthesia (which makes you sleep through the procedure).

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction. This technique uses ultrasound to liquefy the fat, which makes it easier to remove. This technique may be particularly helpful in removing fat from the neck, upper abdomen, sides, and back.

Laser-assisted liposuction. This technique uses low-energy waves to liquefy the fat, which is removed through a small cannula.

Liposuction is usually done as an outpatient procedure in a properly equipped doctor's office, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital. In general, it does not require an overnight hospital stay unless a large volume of fat is being removed. Local anesthesia is used in some cases. And you may or may not be given a sedative to help you relax. If a large area or volume of fat is being treated, general anesthesia or deep sedation with a local anesthetic may be used.

Why It Is Done


The main purpose of Liposuction is to reshape one or more areas of your body, not to reduce body weight. Liposuction is typically used on "problem" areas that have not responded well to diet and exercise. These areas are often on the outer thighs and hips on women and the waist and back on men. The face, neck, abdomen, back, buttocks, legs (thigh, knees) and upper arms are all commonly treated areas.

Risks

Liposuction done by an experienced doctor in a properly equipped facility is usually safe. Having more than one area treated, or having a very large area treated, may increase the risk of complications during or after the procedure.

Common side effects of liposuction include:

Temporary swelling, bruising, soreness, and numbness in and around the treated areas.

Irritation and minor scarring around the incision sites where the cannulas were inserted.

Baggy or rippling skin. The skin will usually tighten and retract after a few months. But in some people the skin may remain somewhat loose.

Less common side effects include:

Permanent color changes in the skin.

Uneven skin surface over the treated area.

Damage to the nerves and skin. The heat generated during ultrasound-assisted liposuction may burn the skin or damage the tissue under the skin.

If you gain weight after having liposuction, your body may store the new fat in a different place than where you had fat cells removed. New fat can grow deep inside your body, around your organs, such as your heart or liver. This type of fat can be more harmful to your body than fat that is stored near the surface of your body, such as on your hips or thighs. So people who have liposuction need to be careful not to gain extra weight.

Dangerous complications

Although death is very rare with liposuction, it can happen. If you are having a large amount of fat removed, are obese, or have health problems, your risks go up. Possible complications include:

-Excessive blood and fluid loss, leading to shock. But this is extremely unlikely.

-Fat clots or blood clots, which may travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) and become life-threatening.

-Buildup of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema). This is most likely to occur when a large volume of fluid is injected into the body.

-Infection. In some cases, antibiotics may be given before or after liposuction to help prevent infection.

-Toxic reaction to the injected solution (lidocaine toxicity), especially if large areas or many areas are treated at one time.

-A puncture into the cavity containing the abdominal organs or damage to an organ such as the spleen.

liposuction should not be done in people who have severe heart problems, who have blood-clotting disorders (such as thrombophilia, a disorder in which the blood clots easily or excessively), or during pregnancy.

5 OF THE BEST NOSE JOBS IN HOLLYWOOD

1.

Cameron Diaz still denies she had a nose job! Famous actress and one of the biggest sex symbols in Hollywood definitely had a different nose before and it is obvious if you compare her before and after photos. She definitely fixed it in 2006, because before that year, her nose looked kind of different. As you can see, Cameron never had a big nose, but she clearly changed the form of her nose so it looks more perfect.

2.

Blake Lively could never lie to us about having nose job, because the difference is really big. As you can see, her nose is definitely slimmer and kind of smaller too! Blake looks completely different and, if we may say, much better with a smaller nose. Her original nose had this droop at the tip, so it is obvious that she did some lifting in that area. Blake never admitted publicly, but it is undeniable that she did it.

3.  

We always knew Halle Berry is a beautiful woman, but we never knew she changed so much! Her transformation in 16 years is definitely special. However, Halle denied several times that she had a nose job. It is kind of weird, because her nose look much smaller in her 40s than it was in her 20s! You can see how her nose looked wider and her nostrils are now obviously smaller. We love you Halle, but you can’t fool us!

4.

Dianna Agron never denied having done rhinoplasty. She admitted to doing it twice, actually! The first time was in high school and the second time was during a tour with Glee! Both times were caused by an accident where she unfortunately ended up with a broken nose. On the other hand, she also ended up with one of the prettiest Hollywood noses ever, so always look on the bright side, right?

5.

Kim Kardashian is definitely queen of transformations. She changed so much through the years, so she proved that, with huge amounts of money, you can look however you want. Even though she is popular for contouring her face and hiding everything that can ruin a perfect selfie, Kim definitely did a nose job. This is also one of the best nose jobs in Hollywood, because the difference is so insignificant and yet so visible!

Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery (called blepharoplasty or eyelid lift) is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to get rid of crepey eye skin, drooping eyelids, puffy bags and dark circles under the eyes. Work on the upper and lower eyelids is often performed in separate procedures.

Eyelid surgery risks and complications: These are rare but can include the inability to close the upper lid if too much skin is taken, and dry eye. If patients currently have dry eyes, blepharoplasty surgery can make the eyes drier. Permanent blindness and double vision are exceedingly rare.

Double eyelid surgery refers to the creation or accentuation of an eyelid crease. The procedure is often called Asian blepharoplasty or Asian eyelid surgery due to its popularity among people of Asian descent who want to "open up" their eyes by creating a visible fold.

Eyelid surgery recovery time: Patients undergoing blepharoplasty typically get stitches removed in 3-4 days and the steri-strip (small pieces of tape) within 7 days.  Most return to work within 8-10 days. Make-up can usually be applied by Day 8. With doctor clearance, patients resume normal activity within 3-4 weeks.

Laser eyelid surgery and laser blepharoplasty: Lasers are sometimes marketed as being less invasive than traditional eyelid-lifting surgery. Many surgeons on RealSelf believe this is hype.

Female Celebrities (Rhinoplasty: Before & After pictures)

From Rihanna, Angelina to Priyanka, we can see celebrities around the world hollywood to bollywood have great impact on Plastic surgery. 

What is Rhinoplasty? Why,How,Risks

Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose. It can make the nose larger or smaller; change the angle of the nose in relation to the upper lip; alter the tip of the nose; or correct bumps, indentations, or other defects in the nose.

During rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes incisions to access the bones and cartilage that support the nose. The incisions are usually made inside the nose so that they are invisible after the surgery. Depending on the desired result, some bone and cartilage may be removed, or tissue may be added (either from another part of the body or using a synthetic filler). After the surgeon has rearranged and reshaped the bone and cartilage, the skin and tissue is redraped over the structure of the nose. A splint is placed outside the nose to support the new shape of the nose as it heals.

Rhinoplasty may be done using general or local anesthesia. It is usually done as an outpatient procedure but sometimes requires a 1-night stay in the hospital or surgery center.

Surgeons who do rhinoplasties typically have training in either plastic surgery, otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat specialty), or both.

Why It Is Done

Rhinoplasty can change the size, shape, and angle of your nose and bring it into better proportion with the rest of your face.

Rhinoplasty may also correct structural problems with the nose that cause chronic congestion and breathing problems.

How Well It Works

The results of rhinoplasty may be minor or significant, depending on what kind of correction you want. It is important that you and your plastic surgeon agree on the goals of the surgery. If your expectations are realistic and your plastic surgeon shares them, he or she will probably be able to give you the results you want.

The results of rhinoplasty are permanent, although subsequent injury or other factors can alter the nose's appearance. Cosmetic surgery should only be done on a fully developed nose. Complete development has usually occurred by age 15 or 16 in females and by age 17 or 18 in males. If surgery is done before this time, continued development of the nose can alter the surgical results and possibly cause complications.

Risks

You can always expect temporary swelling and bruising around the eyes and nose after rhinoplasty. Other problems that may occur include:

• Bleeding.
• Injury or holes to your septum (the wall that separates your nostrils).
• Skin problems, including breakdown of skin tissue (skin necrosis) and irritation from the tape and bandaging.
• Infection. Preventive antibiotics may be given after surgery to reduce the risk of infection.
• Serious nasal blockage caused by swelling inside the nose.
• Complications of anesthesia.
• It is also possible that the cosmetic results of the surgery will not be what you wanted.

The history of plastic surgery

The history of plastic surgery goes as far back as 2000 B.C. In India and Egypt, ancient physicians practiced some of the most rudimentary forms of plastic surgery. According to a 1994 article in the Washington Post by Thomas V. DiBacco, reeds were used in Egyptian nose reconstruction to keep the nostrils open as the nose healed. In 600 B.C., the Indian doctor Acharya Sushrut published the Sushruta Samhita, a collection of medical texts about plastic surgery, the first of its kind in ancient history.

In another part of the world, plastic surgery also experienced its earliest developments. Around the first century B.C., Roman physicians practiced early beginnings of surgical methods to alter the body. With a culture that highly valued the physique and beauty of the natural human body, ancient Roman doctors operated on former gladiators whose bodies and faces had become severely damaged. At this time, Roman medical writer Aulus Cornelius Celsus wrote "De Medicina,” which outlined some of the methods used in the practice of breast reduction and reconstruction of the ears, lips and noses – another important early text for plastic surgery.

After the fall of Rome at the end of the third century A.D., the progress of plastic surgery appears to have stalled for several hundred years. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the spread of Christianity forbade any kind of surgical changes to the body, as dictated by Pope Innocent III.

Then, in the late 1500s, a breakthrough in plastic surgery occurred. In Sicily, Italy, Gasparo Tagliacozzi experimented with skin grafts for nose reconstructive surgery. However, Tagliacozzi’s progress was hindered by the influence of the Church. In addition, the technology of general anesthesia was still in its earliest stages at this time, which made any plastic surgery attempts extremely painful.

For centuries, plastic surgery continued to struggle without much progress; plastic surgeries were performed sparingly with mixed results. In 1907, the first text pertaining specifically to cosmetic surgery, “The Correction of Featural Imperfection,” was published but disregarded by the medical community. However, the outbreak of World War I would change the course of plastic surgery history forever. As the history of the American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASPRS) describes, trench warfare caused thousands of WWI soldiers to receive extensive trauma wounds on their faces, necks, throats, and arms. This resulted in plastic surgery quickly becoming an independent medical practice that varied greatly across the nation. In order to regulate the profession, the ASPRS was created in 1931. With the establishment of an authoritative institution, plastic surgery began a new age of enlightenment.

Within the past 100 years, the field of plastic surgery has experienced tremendous progress. The first medical journal for plastic surgery saw its first publication in 1946, which increased communication about new developments in the medical community. In response to the rapid growth of plastic surgery, the ASPRS eventually changed its title to its present name, the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Virtually all types of plastic surgery have undergone considerable technological advancement, and many have received lawful recognition; in 1998, President Bill Clinton signed a law requiring insurance companies to cover breast reconstruction surgeries after a mastectomy. In the mid 2000s, interest in plastic surgery skyrocketed. Popular shows such as Extreme Makeover, Dr. 90210, and Nip/Tuck gave the plastic surgery industry a new and familiar look to the public.

Despite its rocky historical past, plastic surgery is a growing multi-billion industry. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the demand for plastic surgery services has only decreased by two percent in the past year. Of all plastic surgeries, breast augmentation and liposuction are the most common, with women usually accounting for 91 percent of the patients.

Today, modern technology continues to expand the horizons of plastic surgery. From its earliest beginnings to its most recent developments, the world and history of plastic surgery continues to evolve.
