New Techniques Developed to Make Breast Enlargement Safer

Manchester, NH
(ContentDesk) June 12, 2006 -- Dr. Peter T. Pacik, founder of the Plastic Surgery Center, presented a combination of three techniques developed over the past 4 ? years to make breast enlargement surgery safer and more effective at the 47th annual meeting of the New England Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Inc. in New Castle, New Hampshire (June 2nd through June 4th, 2006).Dr. Pacik presented his new techniques, which provide improved integrity to the breast fold, thereby reducing the complication of bottoming out in a paper titled Augmentation Mammaplasty: Managing the Inframammary Fold.

The three techniques used in combination are enhanced lowering of the inner lower (thicker zone) of the breast fold giving improved rounding and cleavage to this area while at the same time protecting the position of the implant. (This technique was previously reported in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, Augmentation Mammaplasty: Enhancing Inferomedial Cleavage, Vol. 25, July/August 2005, pages 359-364.)Bottoming out is a potentially serious complication of augmentation mammaplasty because the implant migrates to an excessively low position. The tissues needed to repair this complication are very thin and complications such as pneumothorax and recurrence of the bottoming out can occur, says Dr. Pacik.

By respecting the integrity of the breast fold during the primary operation for breast enlargement, this serious complication can be reduced, and the operation made safer.Dr. Pacik combines these procedures with a muscular sling from the pectoralis major muscle to the level of the lower portion of the breast fold and blocking sutures to safeguard against bottoming out. Our incidence of bottoming out is about 2%, says Dr. Pacik. Other centers have reported this complication to be as high as 10%.

Our early statistics of more than 100 consecutive patients using the muscular sling, and more than 150 patients using blocking sutures, appear to be less than 1%, reports Dr. Pacik.He concludes, I believe that by incorporating these three technical changes, the operation has been made safer, while at the same time achieving enhanced cleavage of the inner lower zone of the breast.About Dr. Peter Pacik:Since 1972, Peter Pacik, M.D., F.A.C.S. has operated the Plastic Surgery Center in Manchester, New Hampshire and has been performing plastic surgery for patients in New Hampshire and New England.

HGH Releaser Used As An Anti-Aging Nutraceutical

(ContentDesk) October 12, 2005 -- Cosmetic surgery and anti-aging medicines are becoming more and more popular nowadays. This is because of the desire to look and feel younger. In this fast-paced world, we often forget to enjoy life and spend most of it working hard to make a living. We just take it for granted never realizing that life, indeed, is too short; until its too late and well be too old to do the things we always wanted to do.This is where cosmetology and anti-aging medicines come in. Cosmetic surgery is quite expensive and almost always has side effects.

On the other hand, anti-aging medicines are safer, cheaper, and easier to take. However, it is also necessary to consult a doctor first before taking any medication.The search for anti-aging medicines (or the fountain of youth) started with mans search for the secret to long life. Gerontologists, people that study diseases and problems of old people, say that it has something to do with the lifestyle, eating habits,...

Breast augmentation surgery and what you should know about it

True or false?

Breast implants are a one time procedure. They'll last an entire life time.

Breast augmentation is a minor procedure.

Breast implants are 100% safe.

All these statements are a pack of lies. Take the first statement, about this being a one time procedure.

Many women think that once the implant is in, you can leave it there and forget about it. Nothing is further than the truth.

Breast implants do NOT last forever. After 13 to 15 years, the incidence of rupture is 85%.
Meaning, you can expect to change implants a few times in your lifetime.

Even if the operation goes well, the final result might not be what you want. In fact within the first 3 years of having the breast augmentation surgery, 13% to 21% of the women have a redo surgery.

You need maintenance. Get them checked to make sure they're still good. You'd need...
