Surge of Surgeries Tightens Flabby Skin

In this era of rampant obesity, after people become very heavy, they often turn to stomach stapling or liposuction, which causes them to lose a great deal of weight very quickly. This can leave unsightly folds of flesh hanging all over their bodies.

When this happens, many choose to undergo yet another operation that removes the flabby folds. In Britain, for example, 21 percent of men and 22 percent of women are clinically obese, which is expected to rise to a quarter of all adults in 2010. So it's perhaps not surprising that the number of tummy tucks in Britain has increased since 2003 by nearly a third, according to Harley Medical Group, the nation's largest cosmetic surgery firm.

Body Contouring a Good Follow-up to Liposuction

Obese patients who undergo the weight-reduction procedure known as liposuction are left with unsightly sags of skin that are uncomfortable and embarrassing. The excess tissue may even lead to irritation and infection as it rubs against the body.

Enter body contouring. This technique gets rid of the unattractive folds, making the patient sleek and "normal"-looking. But it's a complex, highly invasive procedure that involves considerable discomfort during recuperation. (Read more about Body Contouring a Good Follow-up to Liposuction)

Large Numbers Support Interest in Cosmetic Surgery

A survey conducted by UCLA scientists and reported in the latest issue of the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery shows that most women and large numbers of men are intersted in having cosmetic surgery. Forty eight percent of women in the survey showed interest in cosmetic surgery, liposuction or both, and 23 percent said there might be a possibility of interest. For men, 23 percent said they would be interested in surgery, and another 17 percent expressed possible interest. Additionally, 21 percent of women and 11 percent of men described themselves as unattractive, and 31 percent of women and 16 percent of men reported feeling so uncomfortable in a swimsuit that they avoid wearing one in public.

Plastic Surgery, the Who and What of It

Ever wonder who's getting plastic surgery? For the most part, it's women. Statistics compiled by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that of the 11.5 million cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures done in 2005, over 90% were preformed on women. In fact, surgical procedures for women showed a modest annual increase of 2%, while they were down 8% for men.

People ages 35-50 years are the most likely to have a cosmetic procedure done, accounting for nearly half of procedures, compared with just 4% of people 65 and older. (Read more about Plastic Surgery, the Who and What of It)

Post Pregnancy Tune Up

As a new mom, Kristin Mackey has learned the drill…diaper changing marathons, countless feedings and burpings…but, what she still can’t grasp is the metamorphosis of her body, post pregnancy. “I had some broken capillaries in my face, you get like this little pouch that won’t go away, and some cellulite in some unmentionable places,” says Kristin.

Kristin, mom of 4 month old, Carson, is thoroughly enjoying the little miracle she brought into the world, but as a first time mom she’s also trying to adjust to the person she now sees in the mirror. “I am really looking forward to get into a bathing suit and get into my old clothes, that is really the biggest thing,” says Kristin.

March 3rd - Health Wrap

If a man has a small, low grade, or not highly aggressive prostate cancer, delaying surgery -- even for years -- does not appear to increase the risk of the disease progressing to an incurable form.

That's according to a 10-year Johns Hopkins study published in the latest issue of the Journal of the National CancerIinstitute.

It found the risk of noncurable prostate cancer -- defined as a less than 75 percent chance of remaining disease-free 10 years after surgery -- was the same for men receiving immediate surgical treatment and those who waited -- on average -- two years before having surgery.

New Cellulite Laser

Thirty-one year old Kristi Rook says she has tried every lotion, potion and fad diet in the book, but, she just can’t get rid of her cellulite.
“I run, I bike-ride, I kick box, I volleyball, all summer, you name it and I’ve tried it, it is so frustrating that I do all this exercise and I can’t get rid of cellulite.”

Kristi says she packed on twenty pounds in college and as a result, is still fighting cellulite. But, she recently tried the new FDA approved laser called TriActive. It is a therapeutic massage treatment for cellulite, which smoothes and tightens the face and body. (Read more about New Cellulite Laser)

Pull Procedure

Mary Lucina never had a weight problem until she became pregnant. Once she delivered her son, she continued to pack on the pounds and eventually developed high blood pressure and diabetes. Her weight topped at 247 pounds. Desperate to get her weight under control, Mary had gastric bypass surgery two years ago.

I went from being overweight and then I lost 80 pounds but I still had a lot of excess skin so I went for the tummy tuck which was then followed by the PULL procedure, says Mary Lucina. (Read more about Pull Procedure)

SCULPTRA SKIN FILLER

There is a new way to help get rid of wrinkles and plump up an aging face. This new treatment actually stimulates the production of new tissue that fills in the folds of the wrinkles.
The treatment was actually approved by the FDA for use in AIDS patients whose faces get sunken due to the loss of fatty tissue. But now healthy individuals are also using it to get a younger look. (Read more about SCULPTRA SKIN FILLER)

TITAN SKIN PROCEDURE

The Titan skin tightening procedure is giving thousands of people the world over the chance to non-surgically improve the way they look.
As a former model, Erin Yates used to have a wash board stomach. But she says giving birth to four children changed all that. “I have gained a good 50 or 60 pounds with each of my children. I could never get my lower stomach area to really tighten up. There was no fat there, but the skin would just be saggy,” says Erin. (Read more about TITAN SKIN PROCEDURE)
