Opting out of reconstructive breast surgery

At the same time, the surgeon suggested reconstructive breast surgery, a cosmetic procedure that is aimed at giving patients two balanced, symmetrical breasts. It usually occurs at the same time as the mastectomy, but patients can choose to have reconstructive surgery at a later date. Breast implants or the use of living tissue taken from another part of the patient’s body are the two main methods of reconstruction. Patients also have the option of preserving the outside skin and nipple taken from their breasts during the mastectomy and using it in the reconstruction process. In [more...]

Can A String Face Lift Save You From The Hell Of Bad Face Lifts?

Can A String Face Lift Save You From The Hell Of Bad Face Lifts? by Rob Any woman who has decided to take matters into her own hands and have a face lift– any kind of face lift– has got to be feeling a little nervous.  Sure she’s excited.  She’s about to start looking a whole lot younger, and feeling a lot better about herself.  But at the same time, what if something goes wrong?  What if she has one of those dreaded Hollywood-style bad face lifts that twists her face into some sort of parody of the woman she really is? While these concerns are perfectly understandable, if the [more...]

Surgeons Impact Breast Reconstruction Rate In Mastectomy Patients ...

The CanSORT study found that two-thirds of women who undergo mastectomy do not go on to have breast reconstruction surgery. Although there are a variety of reasons a woman may not seek breast reconstruction after undergoing mastectomy, according to the study, 31 percent of the variation in mastectomy patients’ tendency to seek breast reconstruction could be attributed solely to how often the patient’s surgeon talked to a plastic surgeon prior to initial surgery. “Patients with similar characteristics or preferences may get a different story from different surgeons – and this depends [more...]

"In my opinion...": Reality TV: The Real Cost

It was not that long ago that the concept of Reality TV was completely new. When it was first introduced via shows like MTV's Real World many people were critical and thought it would be a passing fad. No one saw the direction television was heading. Now nearly every network has some form of reality programming. Survivor, The Apprentice, Big Brother, Top Chef, and other competitions offer a prize if you "outlast and outplay" the other contestants. On The Bachelor/Bachelorette you might win true love. (**rolling my eyes**) The majority of the other reality shows offer nothing more than a [more...]

Woman, Children and the Family » A Variety of Nursing Careers in ...

This type of nursing care is treating patients on an outpatient basis such as same day surgery when a patient goes home the same day of their surgery. This is done mostly in clinic, but often it can be done in a doctor’s office. Some nurses provide telehealth, this form of nursing is fairly recent, and is expected to grow. A nurse, through the telephone, conferencing, video, and the Internet, provide health advice to patients, and will also help a sick or injured person find the right doctor.

5000 Question Survey Part 31 | Per aspera ad astra

Some of the pictures are a breast, a penis, a urinal, open heart surgery, a woman sucking on a vaccum tube, etc. On the back of each picture is a phrase like ‘Fuck you and all of your lesbian fish eating friends’ or ‘people who speak in metaphors oughtta shampoo my crotch’.

peaceful parenting: Baby Dies from Circumcision Surgery Blood Loss ...

I am utterly broken to learn that we have lost yet another baby, Joshua, to the perils of circumcision surgery. There is so much I'd like to say at this moment, and yet my grieving heart needs time to be still, my head needs time to refocus, lest I write many things that will not benefit the fight for the lives of future babies to come. I've cried often for Joshua's struggle, and honestly, cannot imagine the pain of loosing a child. I am devastated that somehow, someone could not have reached Shane and Jill Haskins (Joshua's parents) a mere 24 hours ago. I am appalled that any physician with [more...]

Valuable Infertility Vitamins – What Potentially Are They? « self ...

The doctor will insert the sperm into the uterus around the time the woman ovulates. Surgery is a simple answer to the problem of obstructed fallopian tubes. Surgery also may be done to remove growths such as polyps or fibroids, remove scarring from previous surgery or infection, or to treat endometriosis. After the surgery, however, one problem may be removed but the infertility may remain. It’s important to remember that correcting fertility challenges sometimes takes time and may require multiple treatments. What is the link between infertility treatment and cerebral palsy?

Fug or Fab the Surgery: Lisa Rinna

Lisa Rinna's procedure-enhanced pout, over the years, has become legend. Her lips went from being plump to each one being an able applicant for a job as a draft-catcher. Seriously, you could jam one under your worst door and your energy bills would plummet. Anyway, Lisa recently announced that she had her lips reduced. Here is a side-by-side. Part of me applauds her, because her old lips were throw-pillows. Yet the rest of me thinks that by this point, it was her trademark -- kind of like Posh's boob implants -- and therefore we, and she, may someday lament its passing (not to mention the [more...]

Fat Life: chronicles of a GREAT woman: Dear Adipose Brothers...

Dear Adipose Brothers: I see you together very morning in the pool. You look alike so I know you are brothers. And I am not telling you anything you don't already know when I say you both also have big huge beer bellies. Enormous. They make me feel positively slim. The point I am trying to make here, dear brothers, is that you are very large men. Extra large, even. And that is why the medium-sized float belts don't fit you. Yet every morning you both grab medium belts (they are COLOR CODED, so I know) and you struggle to get them around your immense, rounded, hypnotically moon-like tummies. [more...]

Video: Woman Mistakes Super Glue for Eye Drops | Gather

Fox News reports that the woman's mistake actually occurs often with others. The size and shape of the super glue bottles have them mistaken for eye drop bottles pretty regularly.

Woman Super Glues Her Eye Shut | TLCNapTown - WTLC

The woman, Irmgard Holm, had recently had cataract surgery and was using the drops to treat her eyes.  In her interview with Fox’s local Phoenix affiliate, she said, “I’m not young anymore, but I’m not senile!”  And she is right.  This has happened to other people as far back as 1982 and given a technical term called “Super Glue ocular injuries” in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Looks like pharmaceutical companies might want to change the bottle’s shape.  But, Holm’s case has sparked the conversation for the glue company to change their bottle.  In [more...]

Breast reconstruction is different for everyone - Community ...

Breast reconstruction surgery — and whether to have it done — is a very personal decision. Some women may consult with a plastic/reconstructive surgeon prior to a mastectomy or double mastectomy, while others may choose to wait, or are advised to wait, by their oncologist. Either way, the goal of the surgery is to restore symmetry and a sense of normalcy for the patient. Reconstructive surgery options usually fall into one of two categories. Tissue expansion involves a series of surgeries that stretch the skin and muscle of the chest to allow a breast implant to be placed. This occurs over [more...]
