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.

Women Looking to Sculpt Ankles and Toes

Women in Britain are joining those in America in a race for cosmetic surgery on the lowest part of their lower extremities.

As today's women's shoe fashions - even those for winter - gravitate inexorably toward exposing ever more of the feet and toes, women with pedal anatomy considered to be imperfect are becoming more and more embarrassed. Consequently, they are flocking to cosmetic surgeons for corrective work on "cankles," imperfect "toe cascades" and hammertoes. (Read more about Women Looking to Sculpt Ankles and Toes)

Dissolving Away Fat in the Doctor's Office

It seems like the cosmetic physician's magic wand.

Just inject one of a variety of chemical cocktails into fat deposits in the body and watch them evaporate! This technique is called mesotherapy or LipoDissolve.

Or the doctor can aim a radio wave at problem areas of, say, the face or arms to tighten skin without any incision at all. This process is called Thermage, Thermacool or Thermalift.

The physician can even target and destroy fat cells with high-intensity ultrasound, a strategy known as LipoSonix. (Read more about Dissolving Away Fat in the Doctor's Office)

Can Acupuncture Reverse Wrinkles and Sags?

For centuries, when China's rich and famous started to grow wrinkled and saggy with age, they fought back with a form of acupuncture known as mei zen, which means "beautiful person."

Not long ago, this technique arrived in the United States, giving Americans an alternative to Botox, fillers and plastic surgery. Mei zen is a course of 10 acupuncture treatments, in which very fine needles are inserted into the skin. (Read more about Can Acupuncture Reverse Wrinkles and Sags?)

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.

Buttock Agumentation

They’re some of the most envied backsides in Hollywood. J.LO, Beyonce…no doubt their curvaceous derrieres have set a trend ablaze.
“I always wear fitted jeans,” says Marcella Bequillard.
“Beef up the bottom area, beef up your butt a little, make it perky,” says Jill LaVorgna.

Many women are now turning to buttock augmentation in an effort to compete with some of the best bottoms in Tinsel Town. “A butt lift is mostly a buttock enlargement or a buttock augmentation, but indirectly it causes some lifting of the buttocks, and basically it re-contours or reshapes the buttock,” says Dr. George Lefkovits of Lenox Hill Hospital.
