Plastic Surgery Technique Might Ease Migraines

Added By admin on July 31st, 2009

July 31, 2009 (HealthDay News) — Thanks to a procedure borrowed from cosmetic surgery, Michelle Cramer has now lost most of her frequent and debilitating migraine headaches, as well as her frown lines.

Cramer, a graphics illustrator in Williamsburg, Va., suffered about 15 migraines a month for close to a decade until she had surgery to “disarm” various nerves that were apparently controlling her headaches.

“I get maybe two migraines a year now,” she said.

Cramer, 38, participated in a clinical trial to evaluate the surgery, the results of which are published in the August issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. More

In Cosmetic Surgery, Less Common Procedures Are Less Common Than Thought

Added By admin on July 30th, 2009

The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery announces the results of its 2009 Less Common Cosmetic Procedures consumer survey. While the media has coined these cosmetic procedures as ‘fringe’ and made it seem that they are in high demand, it is important to clarify the facts. The results reveal that less common cosmetic procedures are generally over-hyped and over-analyzed.

According to survey results, procedures such as bicep or tricep implants, calf implants, buttock implants, lip implants, penile enlargement and vaginal rejuvenation are performed significantly less than other cosmetic procedures. Only 1.6% of respondents reported ever having a less common cosmetic procedure. That number is significantly small and lacks the evidence of a growing trend. When respondents were asked to report what kind of less common cosmetic surgery procedure they had performed, the most common response was eyelash restoration (42.9%) and bicep or tricep implants (28.6%).

Breast Enlargement Surgery is Big Business in The U.S.

Added By admin on July 10th, 2009

Breast enlargement is the third most common cosmetic surgery performed in the United States. Clinically known as augmentation mammoplasty, surgical breast implants have seen an increase of more than 20% over the past four years.

Mostly, all breast augmentation surgery today is performed with saline filled implants that consist of a silicone shell filled with sterile saltwater. Saline filled implants are safe because the body absorbs the saline solution in case the implant ruptures or leaks. At present, the FDA does not approve silicone gel breast implants because they are not proven to be safe. More

Combining laser modalities safely and effectively zaps vascular and pigmented lesions

Added By admin on July 1st, 2009

July 1, 2009, EFFECTIVELY TREATING VASCULAR and pigmented lesions — from common facial telangiectasias to more challenging hemangiomas — relies on identifying the appropriate tools and then honing one’s technique to achieve the best results.

However, more often than not, patients want to make the most of their sessions by undergoing concomitant facial resurfacing to improve wrinkles and texture changes related to repeated sun exposure, according to William F. Groff, D.O., who practices alongside aesthetic laser pioneer, Richard Fitzpatrick, M.D., at the La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, in La Jolla, Calif. In these cases, Dr. Groff tells Cosmetic Surgery Times, a combination of two or more lasers is often the best approach. Here, Dr. Groff offers tips and perspective on wrinkle and vascular and pigmented lesion treatment strategies that result in patients whose post-procedure appearance is ultimately the best form of marketing.
