Body Reshaping After a Baby
With the increasing acceptability of cosmetic surgery, it is becoming more common for women to enhance their bodies after the changes that occur post-pregnancy. In fact, Sydney plastic surgeon Dr Kourosh Tavakoli says that up to 30 percent of women in his practice come to see him because they would like to improve their post-pregnancy body.
What Is Ear Surgery?
Ear surgery, also called otoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of prominent or protruding ears. It is one of the few cosmetic surgeries that can be performed on children, since an individual's ears typically stop growing by age five. Children and adults with severely protruding ears are often the subject of persistent teasing by their peers, resulting in psychological stress and mental anguish. Ear Surgery can eliminate this problem by pinning protruding ears back so they lie closer to the head. In fact, it is recommended that children with severely protruding ears undergo otoplasty at a very young age so the problem can be corrected before any teasing begins. Young children also tend to recover faster than do adults, making it an ideal time to perform the surgery.
What Is Tumescent Liposuction?
Tumescent liposuction involves the surgical removal of excess body fat using a combination of traditional liposuction techniques and tumescent anesthesia. The procedure is relatively new to the cosmetic surgery scene, having come into widespread use in the 1990's. Tumescent liposuction offers significant benefits over traditional liposuction techniques for its ability to minimize post-operative discomfort, curtail surgical bleeding, and reduce bruising and swelling during the recovery period.
Liposuction Surgery Provides New Possibilities
When diets and exercise don't work to erase trouble spots, many people turn to liposuction surgery to help them obtain the body they desire. Where other things have failed, a skilled plastic surgeon can actually provide the image the patient desires.
