Botox To Reaffirm The Chest

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Botox To Reaffirm The ChestSometimes they are inventions of the media, but other times they are a product of the mind of some plastic surgeon or cosmetic surgery.
One of these recent “news” is the use of botox to reaffirm the chest. The information I read in the tabloid Daily Mail, a newspaper that I quote often in the Journal of Cosmetic Surgery, not for its rigor, but because of the colorful stories published. Desgracidamente this information is being reproduced on many websites and blogs as the Internet presents a real alternative to cosmetic surgery.
What is truth in this? Botox Can reaffirm a breast?
No, it can, but first it is necessary to clarify that the trade name Botox for cosmetic use in Spain is Vistabel, is only allowed for the filling of wrinkles in some areas of the face. Apart from permitted uses, the botox, you can not assert a breast.

Botox can paralyze the pectoral muscle but has no effect on the breast support. According to their “creators” of the pectoral muscle paralysis requires the back muscles to contract and thus elevate the breast. The alleged action on the subject of the pectoralis chest is one of the false belief that everyone takes for certain. The female breast, breasts, or as they say in Argentina lolas are actually a modified skin gland whose only subject to give Cooper’s ligaments (thin structures that are fixed to the skin). So as much as you can get is some tension in the breast skin and remove wrinkles, which may give some sense of reassurance. (more…)

The cosmetic surgery is the most common vaginal labia-plasty, an operation that is to reduce the tissue of the labia.

Duration Of Breast Implants

Friday, February 19th, 2010

SURGERYThere is much confusion and bad-enough information regarding the duration of breast implants. In this article we will try to clarify.
It is first important to distinguish between existing cohesive gel implants or saline implants and the old silicone oil. The latter should be changed to 10 years. Today almost all plastic surgeons use cohesive gel implants, but until recent years some still used implants and silicone oil. The prosthesis of silicone oil should be changed because if they break, the silicone oil spills its contents within the capsule (cavity around the implant) or outside it. Extra-capsular rupture is a serious event that must be corrected in the operating room as quickly as liquid silicone tends to spread.

Current cohesive gel prosthesis can last a lifetime, can last 15 or 20 years or may last a single year (though unlikely, we know some cases). There are several reasons why an implant can be changed according to the manufacturer Mentor: “Your implants may break due to the following causes: damage caused by surgical instruments, to force the implant during implantation and weakening occur, to form folds or wrinkles in the implant shell; excessive force in the chest (for example, during closed capsulotomy, which is contraindicated), trauma, compression during mammography images and intense capsular contracture. Breast implants may also simply wear out over of time. ” Source: Important Information for patients about breast augmentation breast implants, silicone MemoryGel.. (more…)
