Sex Change Surgery Gone Wrong in India

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 13:29:00 +0000

Castration is illegal in India, and Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) is legally ambiguous. Therefore, those who wish to undergo a sex change surgery operation (SRS) have to go to private clinics, and sometimes suffer physical and mental trauma because the process is often incomplete especially in India. The cost of the operation is very high there (around 45 lakhs Indian Rupees). As an alternative, the Hirja Community (one of the Indian Community in India) has devised 'nirvana', a process of castration done in the traditional way.

The physical completion of one's sexual identity is one of the most critical aspects of a transgender's experience. Christy Raj, our Community Correspondent in Bangalore, is intimately acquainted with the sufferings and difficulties attached to normal Sex reassignment surgery (SRS) procedures which led to complications. Numerous friends of his have been through it, and he himself hopes to be able to undergo the surgery one day, albeit under better circumstances. The transgender community for sex change reassignment is still discriminated against massively in India, and there is total ignorance amongst the public of their needs.

Legalisation of sex change surgery (SRS) would provide this surgery and its accompanying counseling at subsidized rates for the working class community. A proper sex reassignment SRS not only consists of a surgical operation. It also includes counseling, before and after the operation, hormonal treatment to enhance the physical changes, and a medical follow-up, to prevent the risks attached to the surgical intervention. But when the intervention is carried out in private clinics, transgender patients hardly receive any of these, and are left vulnerable to various infections, medical complications, and post-intervention psychological distress. To improve his community's situation, Christy Raj is engaged in Sangama, an NGO that provides support for the counseling process. He also belongs to an activist network that lobbies the government to subsidized the surgery, as is the case in Tamil Nadu. He has numerous friends who have undergone sex change surgery (SRS) and now lead happy lives, ultimately at peace with their gender identity. He hopes that his video will help improve the situation of the transgender community, and eventually grant them the right to fully choose their sexual identity.

Here is one of the patient's Story about Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) and some difficulties about the situations

My name is Prapha, 26 years old. I am female to male transgender. i have done the Sex Reassignent surgery (SRS). In india SRS surgery is not legal. and this poses a big problems for the community. i just would like to explain how i did SRS in spite of its illegal in the country. i have had alot of health problems after the SRS surgery because it wasn't perform properly. its not just about surgery but counseling is also necessary before and after SRS surgery. my first underwent castration in 2003-04. i did my vaginal surgery in Bangalore it was an unsuccessful process and i fail to get proper medicare afterwards. i couldn't go back to ask what had gone wrong, and i couldn't even file a case because its against the law. the entire procedure ended up costing me about 2 to 3 lakh (about US $7000) this included vaginal surgery, breast enhancement harmonal injections etc. i was generally confused about the SRS process. because it was not legal. i had to get it done privately and spend a lot of money. at the end, i want our government to legalise sex reassignment SRS and provide free surgeries for the transgender community.

A WARNING FOR THOSE CONSIDERING MtF SRS:

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 00:11:00 +0000

Basically, i got this whole information from http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/Warning.html and i think that will help enough to my blog reader who is condiniously seeking for negetive or positive impact before and after they proceed for Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS). hopefully it will help those people who is facing / struggling with SRS.

What if you "succeed" in completing a TS transition,
but did it for the wrong reasons?

In the large majority of cases, transsexual (TS) transitions work out well over the long-term, as we've seen in the many stories documented in Lynn's Transsexual Women's Successes page. However, in some cases a complete TS transition may totally fail to meet very unrealistic expectations, and way too late the transitioner may realize that undergoing sex reassignment surgery (SRS) was a BIG mistake.

In Lynn's TS Informational pages, we discussed some of the social risks that face TG and TS transitioners. In the SRS information page, we discussed some of the medical risks of the surgery itself. Here in this page, we focus on the risks involved in undergoing SRS in cases where the overall rationale for transition and/or for undergoing SRS is questionable.

Some examples of "wrong reasons" and wrong situations for undergoing SRS are (i) efforts to become a center of attention and live a "sexy life", (ii) thinking it will "automatically turn oneself into a woman" in others' eyes, (iii) deciding to become a woman on a whim (for example, in the midst of a mid-life crisis), (iv) doing it for autosexual "thrills", (v) doing it while suffering from preexisting serious mental conditions unrelated to GID (depression, bi-polar conditions,...), etc.

Regrets and adjustment difficulties seem to occur especially frequently in the cases of older intense crossdressers and sexual fetishists whose drive to transition is based primarily on male sexual feelings and habits. These individuals will gradually lose their male libidinous responses to their new female body as time passes after the removal of their testicles during SRS. This loss of libidinous rewards, combined with accumulating practical, social and emotional difficulties in postoperative life, can lead to serious long-term adjustment difficulties for those who've "made a mistake". (This effect is quite different from the experiencing of a heightened female libido and improvements in lovemaking capability that occur in many other postoperative TS cases).

The bottom line here is that EXTREME CAUTION is advised if you are unsure of your motives for SRS.

Examples of cases of "regrets":

Following are stories of people who have experienced regrets and have openly talked about their particular regrets. We can learn a lot from such cases, which help clarify the nature and validity of this serious warning:

Renée Richards

Dani Bunten Berry

Sandra MacDougall

Samantha Kane

Renée Richards

First consider the case of Renée Richards, who transitioned and had SRS in 1975 at age 40, and who was widely outed the next year as the "transsexual tennis player". Renee's story was widely reported in the media, and her story initially did a lot of good by announcing to a new generation of young TS girls that "sex change was possible", just as Christine Jorgensen's case had done in the mid-1950's. In 1983, she went on to write an autobiography about her transition entitled "Second Serve", which stimulated further notoriety about her situation and about transsexualism in general, especially regarding whether postop women should be allowed to participate as women in competitive sports.

Unfortunately, the extensive publicity about Renée's "sex change", publicity which she largely brought on herself, generated a widespread public image of her as a "transsexual" rather than a woman. The mystique surrounding her case widely propagated the image that postop women are not women after all, but are instead whatever "Renée Richards" is.

Part of Renée's problem with public acceptance, and possibly (though unconsciously) with her own inner self-acceptance, was undoubtedly her unusual facial structure. She had a very feminine, well-toned and attractive body, and must have thought of herself as being very beautiful. She sought media attention at every turn, and her photos were widely disseminated. Unfortunately, she never seemed to realize that she had a very prominent male brow-bulge and large male jaw and chin. Back in the 1970's and 80's, few transsexual women were aware that such features gave off powerful male gender cues, causing unease in other people without those people quite knowing why they felt this reaction (this awareness developed much later, in the 1990's, as people saw the dramatic before/after results of Douglas Ousterhout's pioneering facial feminization;surgeries).

For whatever reasons, including the sports-based notoriety surrounding her name - combined with the wide dissemination of her photographs - people always seemed to think of Renée as a "transsexual" rather than as a woman. This was unlike the situations that had faced other widely known postop women such as Christine Jorgensen and April Ashley, who although facing problems of discrimination were nevertheless quite generally thought of and reacted to as women by most folks, even in those early days.

In the end this may have become a major problem for Renée. Or perhaps as the media attention faded and as social, relational, emotional and physical realities set in, her hopes for an unendingly sexy, exciting life as a center of attention faded too. Whatever the reason, her transition failed to meet even her own expectations, and Renée now acknowledges that she wishes that she had NOT undergone a sex change.

Renee Richards after SRS regret

"It's not something for somebody in their 40s to do, someone who's had a life as a man, - - - If you're 18 or 20 and never had the kind of (advantages) I had, and you're oriented in that direction, sure, go ahead and make right what nature didn't. But if you're a 45-year-old man and you're an airline pilot and you have an ex-wife and three adolescent kids, you better get on Thorazine or Zoloft or Prozac or get locked up or do whatever it takes to keep you from being allowed to do something like this.''

- Renée Richards, Associated Press, February 1999.

"I wish that there could have been an alternative way, but there wasn't in 1975. If there was a drug that I could have taken that would have reduced the pressure, I would have been better off staying the way I was -- a totally intact person. I know deep down that I'm a second-class woman. I get a lot of inquiries from would-be transsexuals, but I don't want anyone to hold me out as an example to follow. Today there are better choices, including medication, for dealing with the compulsion to crossdress and the depression that comes from gender confusion. As far as being fulfilled as a woman, I'm not as fulfilled as I dreamed of being. I get a lot of letters from people who are considering having this operation...and I discourage them all."

- Renée Richards, "The Liason Legacy", Tennis Magazine, March 1999.

"She calls the 2004 decision of the International Olympic Committee, which allows transsexuals to compete, “a particularly stupid decision"" . . . "Better to be an intact man functioning with 100 percent capacity for everything than to be a transsexual woman who is an imperfect woman.”"

- Renée Richards, as quoted in "The Lady Regrets", New York Times, February 1, 2007

There may also have been even deeper issues in Renée's case, as we learn from her autobiography. Renée had been a long-term intense crossdresser, and had gone back and forth about whether to transition. In one early phase, she went on hormones. Then as self-doubts began to set in, she detransitioned off of hormones and even had her new breasts surgically removed!

Furthermore, Richards had also met with a number of young postop women in Paris, and they had all warned her against transitioning. Those girls confirmed that they themselves were happy being complete women. However, they told her that there were "others who were not so lucky". They told her about "one who was not ready, who did not have the true feminine nature" and who "after the surgery went mad".

In her book Renee says "Then I knew that this was all for my benefit", i.e., that those girls were trying to warn her against transitioning. However, she went on to do it anyways, and ended up having serious regrets.

Unfortunately, Richards now generalizes from her own sad experience and now proclaims that NO one in their 40's or older should transition. Readers should be aware that Richards is totally out of contact with the large community of successful postop women, and has no clue that many later transitioners actually do very well. It is sad to see her generalize in this sweeping way about late transitioners, and to do so in ignorance of the many successes out there.

Nevertheless, Richards' case is a good warning for some older transitioners to consider.

We can speculate further about what might have gone wrong in Renée's case, and better visualize how mistakes can be made, by reading about a more recent case of an intense crossdresser who underwent transsexual transition. Carefully consider the following essay by Dani Bunten Berry, a prominent computer game designer who underwent transsexual transition in 1992 at the age of 43:

Dani Bunten Berry

The following essay by Dani is contained in a memorial website about her career and her gender transition. Dani was a wonderful gal who took full responsibility for her actions and didn't blame (although she questions) others for what happened to her. Her essay contains her own honest and heartfelt words of advice to others who might be inclined to undergo SRS for the wrong reasons, as she did.

Dani was a computer scientist, and was the pioneer of multi-player computer games. She was widely known and greatly respected as a major innovator in her field. Multi-player computer games have become an underpinning for much of modern computer-collaboration technology, and thus her work has had a great impact on computing in general. For more about Dani, see the March 18, 2003 Salon.com article about Dani and her creative work.

Even though Dani's gender transition went too far in her case, she bravely made the best of it afterwards and found some degree of peace. Sadly, she died of lung cancer in 1998 at the early age of 49, and is no longer here to speak with us directly. We owe Dani a huge debt for leaving us this very candid, deeply personal essay. By being so open and honest about her difficulties after having SRS, she can speak to others and pass on her words of caution long into the future.

"Special Note to Those Thinking About a Sex Change,

by Danielle Berry

[Compiled from a number of emails I sent in response to requests for input from those considering their own change.]

Don't do it! That's my advice. This is the most awful, most expensive, most painful, most disruptive thing you could ever do. Don't do it unless there is no other alternative. You may think your life is tough but unless it's a choice between suicide and a sex-change it will only get worse. And the costs keep coming. You lose control over most aspects of your life, become a second class citizen and all so you can wear women's clothes and feel cuter than you do now. Don't do it is all I've got to say.

That's advice I wish someone had given me. I had the sex change, I "pass" fine, my career is good but you can't imagine the number of times I've wished I could go back and see if there was another way. Despite following the rules and being as honest as I could with the medical folks at each stage, nobody stopped me and said "Are you honest to God absolutely sure this is the ONLY path for you?!" To the contrary, the voices were all cheerfully supportive of my decision. I was fortunate that the web didn't exist then - there are too damn many cheerleaders ready to reassure themselves of their own decision by parading their "successful" surgeries and encouraging others.

I can speak the transgender party line that I was a female trapped in a male body and I remember feeling this way since I was 4. But, it's never that easy if you look at it sincerely and without preconception. There's little question that a mid-life crisis, a divorce and a cancer scare were involved in at least the timing of my sex-change decision. To be completely honest at this point (3 yrs post-op) is not easy, however, I'm not sure I would do it again. I'm now concerned that much of what I took as a gender dysfunction might have been nothing more than a neurotic sexual obsession. I was a cross-dresser for all of my sexual life and had always fantasized going fem as an ultimate turn-on. Ironically, when I began hormone treatment my libido went away. However, I mistook that relief from sexual obsession for validation of my gender change. Then in the final bit of irony, after surgery my new genitals were non-orgasmic (like 80% of my TG sisters).

So, needless to say, my life as a woman is not an ultimate turn-on. And what did it all cost? Over $30,000 and the loss of most of my relationships to family and friends. And the costs don't end. Every relationship I make now and in the future has to come to terms with the sex-change. And I'm not the only one who suffers. I hate the impact this will have on my kids and their future.

Anyway, I'm making it sound awful and it's not. There are some perks but the important things like being comfortable with myself and having a true love in my life don't seem like they were contingent on the change. Being my "real self" could have included having a penis and including more femininity in whatever forms made sense. I didn't know that until too late and now I have to make the best of the life I've stumbled into. I just wish I would have tried more options before I jumped off the precipice. I miss my easy access to my kids (unlike many TS's I didn't completely lose access to them though), I miss my family and old friends (I know they "shouldn't" have abandoned me but lots of folks aren't as open minded as they "should" be ... I still miss them) and finally, I hate the disconnect with my past (there's just no way to integrate the two unrelated lives). There's any number of ways to express your gender and sexuality and the only one I tried was the big one. I'll never know if I could have found a compromise that might have worked a lot better than the "one size fits all" sex-change. Please, check it out yourself before you do likewise."

- Danielle Berry -

What we learn from Dani's candid essay is that both she and her counselors ignored, or were unaware of, key warning flags. She lost her (male) libido when she began taking estrogen, without any heightening of any female libidinous feelings. This was a predictor that she might possibly become inorgasmic postop. Her comments that CD's/TG's transition "so you can wear women's clothes and feel cuter than you do now" and that "I was a cross-dresser for all of my sexual life and had always fantasized going fem as an ultimate turn-on" reveal that her motive for transition was a male CD sexual turn-on. Her loss of orgasmic capability postop proved to be an especially cruel outcome of her search for an "ultimate turnon".

Dani was left with all the usual difficulties of gender transition, but gained none of the profound benefits felt by many postop women. This is an all-too-common result among the recent spate of late-onset transitions. Dani's guess that 80% of CD's/TG's end up inorgasmic IF they undergo SRS may be about right - whereas the reverse is likely true of those who are intensely TS (follow-ups indicate that a majority of early-transitioning TS's are orgasmic postop).
Dani would threfore have been much better advised by her counselors to undergo FFS to correct her very masculine facial structure and then quietly undertake a TG social transition. She could have taken hormones, undergone electrolysis, changed her social gender and name and ID's, and lived as a woman - but NOT had sex reassignment surgery. She would undoubtedly been far happier, and as a prettier woman would have encountered a better social reaction to her gender transition. She could have also continued to enjoy her male autosexual transvestic practices. Tragically, this option wasn't visualized and presented to her in 1992.

Sandra MacDougall

The stories of Renee and Dani are not isolated instances. There have been many TS transition failures in recent years. Ever-increasing numbers of late-transitioning intense CD's and self-proclaimed "autogynephiles" are getting letters of consent from careless counselors and then unwisely undergo SRS, without being fully prepared to live as women and without having clear notions of the other options available to them.

For example, see the 4/28/02 Scotsman.com news story about Sandra (Ian) MacDougall (49), entitled the "Torment of sex change soldier trapped in a woman’s body" (more)

Sandra (Ian) MacDougall SRS

"The former member of the Scots Guards says she has suffered verbal and physical abuse since her sex swap operation almost four years ago, and wishes it could be reversed. But MacDougall now finds herself trapped in a woman’s body after she consulted doctors and was told the operation could never be reversed.

MacDougall, who has not had a relationship since going under the knife and expects to be celibate for the rest of her life, has now decided to make the best of her hard-won gender. She said: "Since I had the operation my life has been made a misery by people taunting me whenever I go out."

From the context of the article, it seems clear that Sandra is an intense CD (she has "more than 80 dresses, bags of makeup, and a whole cupboard full of shoes"). It is also clear that she (i) wasn't prepared or emotionally ready for social transition, (ii) had no idea how people were going to react to her afterwards given her lack of preparedness, and (iii) apparently somehow thought that undergoing SRS was going to magically do what she herself had not yet done by other means - i.e., change her social persona and apparent social gender to female.

As a result, her life has been totally miserable ever since undergoing SRS. She doesn't pass and everyone in her community makes fun of her. She never has, and never again will have, sex. She desperately wishes she "could go back", but there's no way to reverse the surgery.
Sandra's best option at this point might be to de-transition socially and hormonally (return to the male role and go back on testosterone), but she doesn't seem to be aware of that option either. Total transition failures of this type should serve as extreme warning signals to intensely fetishistic crossdressers (and to those who self-identify as "autogynephiles", i.e., as sexual paraphilics, according to their therapists) who are considering undergoing SRS.

Samantha Kane

Then we have those who "change sex" on a whim and have the financial means to do so, then afterwards have regrets and sue everyone in sight who "did this to them" - while not taking any responsibility whatsoever for their own actions.
For example, consider the case of "Samantha Kane", and then think about the damage that this impulsive person has done to himself and about the harm he is now doing to trans women everywhere by his irresponsible actions - both in transitioning and then in lashing out as those who tried to help him in the first place.

"Sam, as he was"

"Samantha, as he erm was?"

"Charles, as he is today!!!"

"Samantha Kane was, by anyone's standards, a hugely successful woman. She ran her own interior design company; was independent, modern and extraordinarily beautiful. She had a top of-the-range Mercedes, homes in West London and Spain and accounts at Knightsbridge's most exclusive boutiques. Her name made her sound like a character in Dynasty - and her feline looks would certainly have qualified her to be one.
She rubbed shoulders with the likes of the Crown Prince of Dubai, ran with the international set in Monte Carlo and Cannes and shared her bed with a number of fabulously wealthy men.

But something inside Samantha hated being a woman. She found the conversation superficial and the sex second rate. She loathed shopping, disliked gossip and fretted over the endless maintenance of her face and figure. In short, Samantha Kane desperately missed being one of the boys.

For Samantha used to be Sam, a millionaire with a property empire and a husband with two children. As Iraqi-born Sam Hashimi, he brokered million-dollar deals for Middle Eastern businessmen and flared briefly in newspapers when he launched an unsuccessful takeover bid for Sheffield United FC.

Following the first Gulf War, Sam's business empire collapsed and his marriage ended. At 37, seemingly out of the blue, he decided to become a woman.

He had a sex change operation in December 1997 and spent close to £60,000 on surgery - including £10,000 on genital surgery and £3,000 on breast implants.

Within four years of the operation, Sam realised 'he'd' made a dreadful mistake and has begun the painful process of having more surgery to return to being a man again!.

He was in the headlines again, claiming his sex change was 'an act against nature'. He has reported his doctor, consultant psychiatrist Russell Reid ... to the General Medical Council alleging he had a `cavalier attitude' in recommending him for the gender realignment surgery.

He registered officially as Charles a month ago, wanting to put as much distance as he could between Sam and Samantha.

He cuts a poignant figure of a man. Charles is dressed in a pin-stripe suit and pink tie - an amalgam of man and woman. His hands are soft with clean, shaped nails. He walks and sits in the manner of a woman, but uses the men's lavatories.

He has no facial growth and little male muscle. He says it took four years of hormone treatment and surgery to feminise his body completely. It will take as much time again to return it to manhood. But Charles will never be as Sam was. His genitals will be re-constructed by plastic surgery. His body will never naturally produce testosterone and he will never again grow a beard.
Charles cannot give a convincing reason for becoming a woman. He says he was suffering from a nervous breakdown when gender change was recommended and that he should have been referred for counselling not surgery.

'I was a traditional male. I was strong and tough in business and the provider for my family. My wife Trudi had never worked a day of her life. I shouldered the complete financial responsibility for her and the children,' he says.

'She'd think nothing of going shopping and spending a few thousand pounds on a dress. I always used to wonder what it would be like to be a woman, to have none of the responsibility I had, to have doors opened for me and have all the privileges a woman seems to have.' Until his breakdown, he was thoroughly heterosexual; a conventional, grey-suited businessman with short dark hair and a moustache.

Born in Baghdad to middle-class parents, he moved to England at 17 where he secured an HND in engineering and married Trudi, a former beauty queen, at 23. He built a property empire, negotiated deals for wealthy Arabs and ran a club in Mayfair. At one time, he says, he had £2 million in the bank.

'I was like any other man,' he says. 'I worked hard and did pretty much what I liked. I enjoyed spending time with men talking about football, the stock market and, of course, girls. I think my sex drive was above average. I had one or two affairs during my marriage..."

=================================

BBC1, Tuesday 19th October 2004 1035pm

=================================

After the failure of his business and departure of his wife and children, Sam Hashimi took the drastic decision to undergo surgery to become a woman.

It was only later that the ex-millionaire realised he had made a terrible mistake. As he prepares for the final stage of a sex-change reversal, Hashimi wonders if he will be accepted as a fully fledged male.

Documentaries about people undergoing sex-reassignment are extremely common these days. But this one is quite extraordinary. It follows Samantha, a wealthy 44 year old property developer who was born a man (and as Sam was married for ten years and had two children), but who seven years ago had a sex-change operation.

Now - and here's the twist - Samantha wants to become Charles and is on the brink of having another sex-change operation to turn her back into a male again. "I was robbed of my manhood for so many years" explains Sam/Samantha/Charles, ignoring the fact that it was his/her decision to undergo surgery.

While Charles waits for the final bit of reconstructive surgery, we see him getting into an hysterical state about an expensive yacht he's buying (and which he hopes may help him find a girlfriend). In a way it's yet another example of how he rushes into things without thinking about the consequences.

It's obvious that he's a complex person who's extremely confused about what he wants, but you'll still sit open-mouthed that anyone can make radical life-changing decisions like this on a whim.

Summary:

It is clear that you must be very, very honest with yourself about "why" you need to transition, and whether a TS transition (including SRS) will meet your inner hopes, aspirations and expectations over the long term. No one else can know your inner feelings of "why you need to do this", and no one else can predict how competent you might be at doing this. It is VERY important to be brutally realistic with yourself about your motives, capabilities and expectations before committing to a complete transsexual transition. So do be careful and think long and hard about the above warnings.

Listen to your heart and to your body, and don't let perceived social pressures force you into something you'll regret. If you really enjoy your male sexuality preop (especially male "mounting, thrusting and penetrating" urges), then you are unlikely to develop and enjoy a female sexuality after a TS transition. Instead you may simply regret losing your male sexuality, and that will be such a turn-off that you may become sexually "cold". If you think this is a possibility, you should seriously consider TG social transition without undergoing SRS.

Furthermore, those at risk for very difficult social transitions should realize that SRS will not in and of itself somehow miraculously "make them a woman in other people's eyes". After all, the only people who see your genitalia are those whom you are intimate with (and your physicians, etc.) and thus SRS by itself will not affect the general reactions of those around you. In cases where serious difficulties are expected in social transition, it might be wise to give FFS priority over SRS, because FFS has a much more profound effect on the reactions of others to one's transition.
Suddenly transitioning and then undergoing SRS on a whim is an especially bad idea, no matter how much money, influence, or power one has with which to make it happen. Seek counseling instead. Learn about the alternatives. Slow it down. Listen to the advice of Dani Berry and reflect on the case of Samantha Kane above.
However, if you feel a very deep need to be a female in body-sex as well as in social-gender, and especially if you feel a deep need to fully express your female sensuality in intimacy and lovemaking, then transsexual transition and SRS may be right for you.

Teen Plastic Surgery not a Game !!!

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Tue, 31 May 2011 08:57:00 +0000

According to one of the reports (found over the internet) here is some example pictures and little horrible story about teen plastic surgery.
John gets a car for his 16th birthday, while Vanessa gets a nose job. Sound unrealistic? It’s not and it’s a growing trend among the youth of our country and abroad.

Teen-plastic-and-cosmetic-surgery-figure

Actually, the high holidays are when most of these procedures are done so be on the lookout for very refreshed and well rested teen with effervescent perkiness!
Teen Plastic surgery as birthday gifts and graduation presents; what used to be reserved for adults / teens and cosmetic purposes, slowly creeped into the world of those under 18. It began with microdermabrasion and facial peels to help with severe acne, then breast augmentation in respect to reductions or leveling out unevenness, but now has turned into something teen plastic surgery do “just for fun.”

teen plastic surgery not a game

The problem with most of the teens about teens plastic surgery is in how casual they take plastic surgery and do not understand the risks, or are mature enough to handle change or even worse, severe complications. In regards to maturity, most teens want the perfect nose, perfect breasts or to lose the extra pounds simply because they see their Photoshopped idols in a magazine and want to be just like them. Teens see plastic surgery as a quick fix.

The most sought after plastic surgeries for teens are liposuction, breast augmentation and rhinoplasty. The issue young teenage girls don’t take into consideration when opting to have the liposuction or breast implants is the obstacles later in life should they settle down and have a family. Such issues are not being able to breast feed if you have implants and the weight gain when you are pregnant which post-pregnancy may result in dimpling of your skin from liposuction. Should you be a candidate for bariatric surgery in your late teens, getting pregnant means that all of the nutrition goes directly to the baby and little to the mother, which then requires close monitoring and possible health risks.

Education of the risks, both short and long term, as well as the emotional changes are things that need to be discussed at length with a teen wanting to go under the knife. this is why teen plastic surgery is being a just like game.

Why Lady Gaga needed Cosmetic surgery ?

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Tue, 31 May 2011 02:11:00 +0000

According to SMH reports
Where is the line between "body modification" and "cosmetic surgery"?

lady gaga's new album born this way

According to Lady Gaga - who has recently been seen with small horns protruding from her cheekbones and forehead - it's between her and those stars she scathingly describes as appearing with "brand-new faces".
In the May issue of US Harper's Bazaar magazine, she criticises artists who have plastic surgery for "promoting insecurity" among their impressionable fans, and insists that she has never gone under the knife.

So those horns? "An artistic expression related to body modification," she explained, telling the magazine "They're not prosthetics. They're my bones."

Lady Gaga while performing

"Promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification," she insists.

"And how many models and actresses do you see on magazine covers who have brand-new faces and have had plastic surgery, while I myself have never had any plastic surgery? I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me."

The singer, whose real name is Stephani Germanotta, says that when she first became famous she tried to assimilate with mainstream, Hollywood culture. "I put my toe in that water, and it was a Kegel-exercise vaginal reaction where I clenched and had to retract immediately.

Ear Surgery (Optoplasty)

"Dumbo" or "Jug" ears

Ear Reconstructed Surgery picture (otoplasty)

Ears that stick out are easily fixed, as are excessively large Earlobes, because overly prominent ears are something one is born with, we try to correct the problem in children just before they begin schooling. when they are sure to be taunted for their looks. By age eight, ears reach 80 percent of their adult growth. Many adults with cosmetic ear problems who come to see doctor didn't have access to corrective surgery when they were young, but those years of feeling self-conscious needn't continue. ear surgery can easily rectify the problem at any age. insurance may even cover the procedure, because the condition, if extreme, is considered a deformity.

What the Surgery Involves

Otoplasty is a quick operation done under twilight sedation and local anesthesia. three to four inch incisions are make behind the ear, and ear cartilage is cut and repositioned closer to the head with stitches (cartilage has "momory" and will want to return to its previous position unless it is sutured). Excess skin may be removed, and the incisions stiched back up. The procedure lasts about an hour and a half (forty five minutes per ear)

Recovery

All the people who wants to do Ear Surgery (optoplasty) are required to wear a headband for a week after surgery and for up to sex weeks at night, to make sure the cartilage re-adheres correctly. The post-op feeling is generally not painful, just uncomfortable, and any of your doctor will typically administer anti-inflammatory medication and a painkiller for the swelling and potential discomfort. Vigorous exercise is forbidden for two weeks so that healing isn't interrupted and to minimize the chance of hematoma. talking on the phone (unless you use a speaker phone) should be avoided for at least three days. If, over time, the ears don't hold their new position exactly, another surgery- equally quick and easy can rectify this situation.

Beginnings of Sex Reassignment Surgery in Japan

By Takamatsu Ako, M.D., Harashina Takao, M.D., Inoue Yoshiharu, M.D., Kinoshita Katsuyuki, M.D.**, Ishihara Osamu, M.D.**, Uchijima Yutaka, M.D.* **Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Gynecology*, Urology**, Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical School, Japan

Abstract
The first sex reassignment surgery (SRS) performed officially in Japan - for a female-to-male (FtM) person in 1998 and for a male-to-female (MtF) person in 1999 - are reported. For the FtM, two-stage conversion was applied. In the first operation, salpingo-oophorectomy, hysterectomy, colpectomy, metoidioplasty, and mastectomy were performed. A free flap phalloplasty with the deltoid flap is planned as the second stage. For the MtF, one-stage neovaginoplasty was performed by penile skin inversion technique with sensate pedicled neoclitoplasty.

Introduction

Japan, which is considered to be one of the world's most advanced countries in terms of its economy, technology, industry, and medicine, has long been in the dark ages regarding people who suffer from gender dysphoria. In July 1996, the Ethics Committee of Saitama Medical School submitted a report, at our request, on surgical treatment for transsexual patients. The report acknowledges that transsexualism exists and that treating transsexual patients can be regarded as a justifiable medical activity. The report was made public by mass media. In 1997, the medical guidelines for transgender persons were issued by the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology, with some modifications of the Standards of Care of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association. We organized a medical team composed of psychiatrists, a sexologist, endocrinologists, gynecologists, urologists, and plastic surgeons.

This is a report of the first sex reassignment surgeries (SRSs) officially performed in Japan: one for a FtM person in 1998 and one for a MtF person in 1999. Diagnosis, preparatory psychotherapy, and hormonal therapy were carried out according to the above-mentioned guidelines.

Methods

SRS for a Female-to-Male Transsexual

In the first operation, regarded as the first stage in the two-stage conversion, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, hysterectomy, colpectomy, metoidioplasty, and mastectomy were performed.

First, the gynecologists performed a transabdominal oophoro-hysterectomy. Then they began to elevate the anterior vaginal flap through the abdominal approach. The elevation was completed transvaginally, just to the dorsal part of the urethral orifice, by plastic surgeons. The vaginal mucosa was resected, and colpocleisis was accomplished. After the abdominal wall was closed, we performed a metoidioplasty, as advocated by Hage (1996). By resection of the chordee, the clitoral shaft was released and abdominally advanced. The neourethra was constructed by suturing the vestibular skin, the vaginal mucosal flap and the labial flap around the urethral catheter in a watertight fashion (Figures 1, 2). A suprapubic cystostomy was performed and the urethral catheter was removed.

Figure 1 Figure 2

For the bilateral mastectomy, we used a modification of the concentric-circle periareoral de-epithelization technique reported by Davidson (1979). Resection of the breast gland and reduction of the nipple were performed by the transareolar approach described by Pitanguy (1966) and Hage and Bloem (1995) (Figures 3, 4).

Figure 3 Figure 4

The estimated blood loss was 740 ml, and the total operating time was 6 hours. The postoperative course was completely uneventful. The suprapubic catheter was left in place for 7 days. The total hospital stay was 14 days.

We are planning a free-flap phalloplasty as the second stage of the conversion. The patient desires the phalloplasty but at this time cannot afford the necessary fee which will amount to 2,500,000 yen (US$25,000).

SRS for a Male-to-Female Transsexual

A one-stage operation was performed in June 1999. The operative technique involved the following procedures: bilateral orchiectomy and penectomy followed by vaginoplasty, clitoroplasty, and vulvoplasty.

For the vaginoplasty, we employed a modification of the abdominally pedicled penile-skin-inversion technique added by a triangular perineal skin flap (Karim, Hage and Mulder, 1996). A dorsally based triangular perineal flap measuring about 10 cm long and 4 cm wide was used to line the posterior wall of the neovagina and widen the introitus (Figure 5). The testes were isolated and then removed with a double ligation of the spermatic cord at the level of the external inguinal rings. The skin of the penile shaft was mobilized from the corpora up to the level of the corona. A circumcising skin incision was made at the corona, completely denuding the penis of its skin and leaving the glans penis attached to the corpora (Figure 6).

Figure 5 Figure 6

The dorsal part of the glans penis was used as a clitoris. Sensate pedicled neoclitoplasty using the reduced glans, which remained attached to its dorsal penile neurovascular pedicle, was performed (Brown, 1976). The corpora cavernosa were resected to prevent postoperative pain due to erection of the remaining corpora tissues.

A neovaginal cavity was created by dissection between the two layers of Denonvillier's fascia using a laparoscope placed in the abdomen as a guide. The created neovaginal depth was approximately 10 cm.

The lower abdominal skin flap was dissected to about the level of the umbilicus, and this advancement of the flap in the inferior and posterior direction made it possible for the base of the penile skin tube to overlie the introitus of the neovagina. The perineal triangular flap was sutured to the posterior wall of the penile skin tube and the widened tube was then inverted to line the neovaginal cavity. The skin flap was incised in the middle and the urethra was brought out through the buttonhole and amputated at the urogenital diaphragm level. The urethral stump and neurovascular pedicled neoclitoris were sutured to the skin with interrupted sutures. A soft, individually selected urethane mold, placed in a condom, was inserted into the neovagina, and the mold was securely sutured to the perineum to prevent prolapse (Figure 7).

Figure 7 Figure 8

The estimated blood loss was 760 ml and no transfusion was necessary. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the eighth postoperative day. She wore the dilating stent every day for 3 months postoperatively; nevertheless, the neovagina decreased in depth to 6 cm and in diameter to two fingers' width. The neoclitoris was found to have returned to a normal level of sensation (Figure 8). The patient has returned to her previous occupation.

Discussion

We believe that most FtM transsexuals desire closure of the vagina. However, we recognize the different view of some surgeons who consider the risk benefit to be rather high. Their reasoning is that most patients are not necessarily aware of the presence of the vagina because of decreased discharge after hysterectomy and atrophied mucosa due to long-term hormone therapy. We have found vaginectomy to be technically difficult and bloody and autotransfusion has a valuable place here. We have also found the vaginas of the Japanese FtM transsexuals we have examined to be very narrow compared with those we have observed elsewhere, so we have chosen to do transabdominal hysterectomies. The other advantage of the transabdominal approach is that the partial elevation of a sufficient size of the anterior vaginal flap and vaginectomy can be carried out from above, under direct vision (Figure 9).

Figure 9 Figure 10

Figure 11

In SRS for MtF transsexuals, we employed a laparoscope to assist in dissecting the vaginal cavity. Its light can help avoid injury to the prostate and rectum and can provide a direct view of the vaginal cavity up to the peritoneum.

We are planning a free-flap phalloplasty as the second stage of the FtM SRS (Figure 10). We have experienced 13 cases of deltoid flap and 5 cases of forearm-flap phalloplasties in non- transsexual patients during the past 15 years (Figure 11). These techniques always result in extensive scarring of the donor area. Our first choice of donor site for phallic construction is the deltoid flap (Harashina et al.,1990) because it results in less morbidity in the donor site, is a true sensory flap, has hairless skin, and is less likely to result in atrophy of the neophallus. However, this technique may be technically more difficult than that with the forearm flap, and it may be impossible to make a roll on obese patients. We think the deltoid flap is especially suitable for Japanese FtM patients because they generally are not obese. In fact, they usually try to reduce their weight so that they will not be regarded as females.

At the time of writing this paper, we have performed six SRSs: one for MtF and five for FtM. Four of the five FtM patients had already undergone mastectomies elsewhere. The SRSs were performed at the Gender Clinic of Saitama Medical Center, which was the only provider of transgender-specific health services in Japan as of March 2000. In total, over 400 clients have visited our clinic since the first patient arrived in 1992, and about 100 new gender dysphoric clients have been seen each year. Sixty percent of them seek SRS. While there are many candidates, we take our time before performing surgery because there are very few psychiatric specialists in this field in Japan and we must apply for permission from our ethics committee in each case.

Conclusion

The first SRS operation in Japan was affirmatively reported all over the country and there was actually no public criticism. The operation was an historic turning point for the proper understanding of Gender Identity Disorder in our country.

We are just on the starting line. Many issues remain to be resolved in promoting the welfare of our patients. Whereas public interest is steadily increasing and some acknowledgement of SRS seems to have become established, there is still no policy regarding health insurance and legislation for those who have undergone the procedure. SRS is not covered by National Health Insurance, and postoperative persons cannot yet change any of their documents. Our team is still the only practising gender surgery team in Japan, although two other teams are now being organized. Despite these difficulties, the role of SRS, performed justifiably, is becoming more prominent in the treatment of transsexualism in Japan.

Patricia Heaton - Belly Button-less? How does it happen

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:41:00 +0000

"The former star of Everybody Loves Raymond Patricia Heaton was caught in a two piece bikini while vacationing in Hawaii. look at her pictures below

Patricia has been very frank about going under the knife and basically reconstructing her entire body. She has admitted to having several procedures done, including a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast lift. The mother of four who just turned 50 on March 4th looks pretty good in our humble opinion. She is rumored to have spent over $100,000 on the surgeries including belly button, which isn’t much when you have Everybody Loves Raymond money. She was making $90,000 per episode at the shows height. She and Kelsey Grammer are said to be making $150,000 and $275,000 per episode for their new show Back to You."

Patricia Heaton Belly button picture...If you look closely, they moved her belly button up to the middle of her right arm. Seriously, what the hell is that?

Several websites are posting photos of Patricia Heaton in a bikini and claiming she has no belly button after having a tummy tuck surgery on her body. Is this true? And if so, why? It's hard to tell from these photos if her umbilicus (belly button) was removed during her tummy tuck. If it was, this is actually not that uncommon, as many patients who have a special tummy tuck surgery have a hernia of their belly button as well. Some surgeons will repair the hernia at the time of the tummy tuck surgery. When this occurs, there is a risk that the belly button will lose its blood supply and die. Some surgeons will pre-empt this process by actually removing the belly button at the time of the surgery, with plans to remake a new one later. I tend to repair it at the time of surgery or have it done after the tummy tuck has completely healed.

I'm guessing she's not into sex except as a means of procreation. So if you want to 'hit it', be prepared to take care of some belly button-less demon spawns.

Eyelid Lift (General Information and Cost

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:59:00 +0000

If you can only have one anti-ageing surgery, the best 'bang for the buck' is eyelid surgery. it offers the most in terms of rejuvenating your whole face and making you look youthful, refreshed and radiant. it changes your expression, gives you a doe-like, open-eyed and engaging appearance, and delivers with a minimum of fuss, pain, visible scars and down time
Droopy or puffy lower eyelids often run in families, and are as common in men as they are in women; ditto for upper eyelids that tend to hang over your lashes. so if your father has to squint to see you, it may be a signh of things to come

What is does
when the fat pad that cushions the eye begins to pull away from the bone of the lower eye and sag, it creates puffiness commonly referred to as bag. sagging upper eyelids cause hooding, where the skin becomes heavier and fuller. it may seem as if your eyelids are at half-hooded eyelids, restore the contours and eliminate protruding fat bags under the eyes. it won't do much for wrinkles and crow's feet its all about skin removal, fat removal or repositioning and muscle tightening.
The Procedure
the procedure may be performed under twilight or general anesthetic, and you can do it as a day case to avoid spending the night in hospital. the most common technique for the lower eyelid area involves making an incision adjacent to the lower lashed. the skin and muscle are lifted to remove a small amount of fat. excess skin and muscle are trimmed from the lower lid. if you just have fatty deposits, the fat can be removed from the inside of the eye without a visible scar. Upper eyelid surgery involves making an elliptical incision across the eyelid crease, in the natural skin fold, to follow the shape of your eyelids. the excess skin of the upper eyelid and fatty tissue are removed, along with a thin strip of muscle to give the eyelid crease more definition. You can apply eye shadow again! and surgery takes about one to threes hours in operating theatre.

Post-op effects and recovery time
some swelling and bruising is to be expected for about a week. keeping you head elevated with extra pillows helps encourage swelling to travel downwards. cold compresses for the first 48 hours help. as the unaesthetic wears off, you may feel a slight burning sensation. Fine sutures are typically removed after three to five days. for seven to ten days, the area will need to be cleaned and the eyes may feel sticky itchy and sore. you may need to use drops or a lubricant, especially at night-time. contact lenses cannot be worn for one to two weeks. avoid alcohol, which dries out the eyes and causes fluid retention. you should wear sunglasses because the eye area will be sensitive to sun, wind and other irritants for several weeks.
Risks
Lack of sufficient tears, thyroid problems, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes may increase your risks. if you have dry eyes before surgery, the problem may be the same or worse afterwards. minor complications may include temporary double or blurred vision for a few days, a gritty sensation in the eye, excessive tearing and a slight asymmetry. severe complications may include difficulty in closing your eyes completely, raised scars and an ectropion, where the lower lid is pulled down. A more serious but rare complication is bleeding behind the eye.

How Long it lasts
Surgery may need to be repeated in about ten years. if it is just fatty deposits that are removed, excess skin may need to be removed at a later stage.
Minimum Spend
$3500 to $7500 (US Dollar)
Optimum age
Depending on your genes, 35 and up (eye bags often run in families).
What is the alternative?
Injections (Botox and its cousins) and lasers such as plasma skin generation and fractional resurfacing can improve lines and crow's feet. Fillers such as Restylane, HydraFill and fat can camouflage deepened tear troughs. Thermage can be used around eyelids to shrink excess skin.

Obesity up despite more exercise

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:59:00 +0000

Young adults in the World are exercising more but still battling the bulge, according to a State Government health survey.
The Summery Report on Adult Health, released today, shows the number of over-weight or obese young adults continues to rise. The survery said just over half of all people were talking part in "adequate" levels of physical activity each week, up from 38 per cent in 1997.
But 47 per cent of 25 to 34 year-old were overweight in 2008, an increase fro 39 per cent in 1997.
A third of 16 to 24 year-olds were overweight compared with 22.8 per cent a decade ago, according to the report. Other results from the study, which surveyed 12,485 people, showed the number of young adults drinking risky amounts of alcohol had decreased significantly in the past six years.
There was also a reduction in smokers across all ages, apart from those aged 55-64, to about one in five people. More then half of people aged 16-34 now eat two or more servings of fruit a day - but only 8 per cent of people meet the recommended five serves of vegetables.

Kylie Loves Botox

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 02:10:00 +0000

Kylie Minogue has publicity admitted undergoing Botox treatments, saying: "I;ve tried Botox, haha what a nasty words to say. I've tried all.

kylie loves botox picture

The singer cleared up years of speculation over her porcelain complexion, even going so far as to suggest she may have undergone other anti-aging cosmetic surgery procedures over the years. The 40-year-old told one of source Elle magazine: "I'm definitely not one of those people who says: 'You shouldn't do this. "Everyonee individually can do what they want. "I also think it doesn't have the stigma that it had when i as growing up. "for all time women have wanted to, for the most part, look their best. "Its just that what we have available to us today it - what it is today. and if you want to take advantage of it, yeah.

kylie loves botox picture

"I'm preferring to be a lot more natural these days without having any kind of plastic or cosmetic surgeries. I've tried Botox, i don't know why ! I've tried all. Minogue's flawless forehead has long sparked rumours she uses Botox. But the diminutive pop star has never confirmed using the needle to maintain her unnaturally youthful look after so many years at the top of her game
One of the Kylie's plastic surgeon even claimed the singer has had her cheeks and lips cosmetically enhanced. But Minogue certainly didn't shy away from hinting at other age-bending cosmetic manouevres in her past.
She's said previously: "You're damned if you do and damned if you don't." whether plastic or cosmetic surgeon t do any surgery for her. she is still disappointed.

Breast Lift / Mastopexy

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:33:00 +0000

Most women find that their breasts begin to sag and droop as they get older. Weight loss, pregnancy and breastfeeding can also be contributory factors. A breast uplift, known as a mastopexy, is an operation to raise and re-shape your breasts.During the breast lift operation, your surgeon removes excess skin from around the areola (the area of dark tissue surrounding the nipple) and sometimes from under your breasts. This creates a tighter cone of breast tissue and your nipple is moved to a higher position to give a more youthful and firm appearance.Breast lift surgery is carried out under a general anaesthetic and you will usually need to stay in hospital for a day or two following your mastopexy operation.You'll also need to plan time off work so that you can relax and recover at home.

Risks And benefits?

All operations carry risks as well as benefits. The chance of complications following breast lift surgery depends on the type of operation and other factors such as your general health. Your consultant surgeon will explain how the risks apply to you..

Why do you need Breast Lift/ Mastopexy?

To make the breast appear higher and reposition the nipple. The procedure: This procedure should be carried out by a surgeon with relevant skills and experience in an establishment registered with the Healthcare Commission. A breast uplift is a surgical operation which usually takes place under general anaesthetic, although some surgeons for some cases may use a combinations of local anaesthetic and sedation. The operation can last up to two hours and there are several techniques that can be used, all of which involve the removal of excess skin and a reshaping of the breast using the remaining skin. Some techniques also involve moving the areola (the brownish area around the nipple) into a higher position.

You will be required stay in hospital overnight, to take approximately two weeks off work to rest and should avoid lifting and physical exercise for about six weeks. It is important that the breasts are well supported by means of a firm dressing initially and then by a supportive bra. The sutures will be removed between seven and fourteen days and it is important to keep the incision sites out of the sun for one year.

The results:

Your breasts should appear higher, as will your nipples. Breast lifts are sometimes permanent, but the breasts may droop again as you get older, or if you become pregnant or put on weight.

The risks:?

The surgery leaves permanent scars which initially may be lumpy and red but which normally fade close to your natural skin colour over several months. These scars may be more noticeable, eg wider, if you smoke. The procedure may also leave you with breasts that are not both the same size, asymmetrical nipples, or a permanent nipple loss, or loss of feeling in your nipples or breasts. Whilst the surgeon will tell you if it is possible to correct any existing asymmetry, this may not always be possible.

Preparing For Your Surgery

Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking and avoiding certain vitamins and medications. Carefully following these instructions will help your surgery go more smoothly. If you smoke, it's especially important to stop at least a week or two before surgery; smoking inhibits blood flow to the skin, and can interfere with healing.You should arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery. Plan to take it easy for a day or two after the procedure and arrange for assistance if you think you'll need it.

Types of Anesthesia

Any surgery, no matter what technique is used, is usually performed using a local anesthesia along with sedation to make you relaxed and comfortable. Your scalp will be insensitive to pain, but you may be aware of some tugging or pressure.General anesthesia may be used for more complex cases involving tissue expansion or flaps. If general anesthesia is used, you'll sleep through the procedure.

After Your Surgery

How you feel after surgery depends on the extent and complexity of the procedure. Any aching, excessive tightness, or throbbing can be controlled with pain medication prescribed by your physician.If bandages are used, they will usually be removed one day later. You may gently wash your hair within two days following surgery. Any stitches will be removed in a week to 10 days. Be sure to discuss the possibility of swelling, bruising, and drainage with your surgeon.Because strenuous activity increases blood flow to the scalp and may cause your transplants or incisions to bleed, you may be instructed to avoid vigorous exercise and contact sports for at least three weeks. Some doctors also advise that sexual activity be avoided for at least 10 days after surgery.To make sure that your incisions are healing properly, your doctor will probably want to see you several times during the first month after surgery. It's important that you carefully follow any advice you receive at these follow-up visits.

Getting Back to Normal

How soon you resume your normal routine depends on the length, complexity and type of surgery you've had. You may feel well enough to go back to work and resume normal, light activity after several days.

Cost

The national average surgeon's fees might vary depending upon the condition

Plastic Surgery - (Pamela Anderson & Michael Jackson)

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 10:12:00 +0000

Plastic surgery may seem to be all they have in common, but Micheal Jackson and Pamela Anderson are shaping up to become Hollywoods newest odd couple. The two have been caught sneaking around together on at least two "dates" in Malibu, according to UK newpaper the Daily Mirror, sparking a flurry of rumours they're more then just friends. "its all arranged by their people in total secrecy, very cloak and dagger," a source told the newspaper.

"Michael is such a priate person. He gets nervous when he thinks people are following him around, so he choose somewhere neutral for their first date. They arrived seperately at The Shutters Hotel on Malibu Beach so no one would suspect anything and had a few drinks in the bar.

Cheaper Plastic Surgery Treatment, India

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:24:00 +0000

India has combined world-class healthcare with prices costing a fraction of those in the US or Europe. This year around half a million foreign patients will travel to India for medical care whereas in 2002, the number was only 150,000. India is now the leader in medical tourism packages and growth in the industry is growing at more than 30% per annum and looks set to become a multi billion pound industry.

Why is it lower in cost?

Infrastructure costs are far lower in India and this is reflected in lower cosmetic surgery costs, yet the hospitals are world class. Recently the rise in medical tourism has seen cosmetic surgery costs drop by up to 90%, making world class treatments affordable for everyone and you also get to enjoy a free holiday as well!

Cosmetic surgery cost savings

An extensive facelift that would cost $20,000 in the U.S would cost under $3,000 in India saving a massive $17,000! Savings are massive across all procedures making cosmetic surgery within the reach of everyone. Cosmetic Surgery at Apollo Hospitals: The Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Department at Apollo is a single stop facility for all aesthetic surgical procedures.

Plastic Surgery Influence very Badly

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:13:00 +0000

Plastic and cosmetic surgery can change your life to better. But before you decide to lay down on an operating table, find out what waits you before and after plastic surgery in here.

Bad plastic surgery is a reality most of us aren't aware of. We hear and see successful plastic surgeries on Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson or Angelina Jolie plastic surgery. But what's hidden from us and what we ignore for some reason is a fact - bad plastic surgery.There are several causes that make unsuccessful operation it means negetive influence of plastic surgery. Some of them can be influenced at, and some of them can't. Most important is that you learn about what can happen to you while you have a bad plastic or cosmetic surgery so you can avoid being scared for life. It's a good thing to be careful saving your money, time and beautyness and ask questions about this matter. It is YOUR health in question and YOUR future. Bad plastic surgery is not what you wish for, I'm sure of that. Jocelyn Wildenstein is the best example of a surgery gone wrong.

First thing you need to do to avoid being the victim of a bad plastic surgery is to check who is your plastic surgeon his past experience/feedback and negetive/positive impact from the patient. You can do that by checking the quality of plastic surgery on his qualifications. Not every plastic surgeon is qualified to perform a plastic surgery, on the beginner or advanced level. That means that your surgeon should have experience to perform advanced procedures. If he isn't sure of himself, you can be his test subject on which he will gain his experience and you will be just the statistics in a bad plastic surgery case you will be also one of the victim like Jocelyn And I'm sure that's not what any of us want.What can you do about this? Ask your plastic surgeon about his previous operations. Determind yourself, He can also show you some before and after photos of previous patients. Besides that, you should ask medical staff that works with him to see what's their opinion on him. Did he ever made a mistake or had a bad plastic surgery. Of course, not every man or woman will tell you the details of you plastic surgeon qualification, but you can see how they tick when you ask about him. I'm sure it's easier to do that then to live after you had a bad plastic surgery. Second important thing is your doctors qualifications. If he is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, then you will be in a good hands your plastic surgery will be fine. This can be easily checked, with the doctor himself or by contacting the Board directly and ask about the plastic surgeon's status. Some examples of bad plastic surgery that may surprise you:

Sylvester Stalone and his mother are the best examples of a bad plastic surgery and bad cosmetic surgery. And if it happened to them, it can happened to you too. You should always be careful with your plastic surgeon and with what your body can take. There are limits you should not cross. Another example of a bad plastic surgery is Donatella Versace.

That's why Dear reader you are strongly recommend to doing such kind of surgery always take longer to think what you going to do surgery with your body. To grow old is one thing, but to grow old in dignity is totally different. Something like this makes you wonder what kind of consequences this has on a person. How hard is it actually to be a victim of bad plastic surgery?

Maybe pop star Pete Burns can tell us more about that. He is suing his plastic surgeon over a botched attempt to remove lip implants. He is also one of the victim now he think had such a bad feeling about plastic surgery that will influence to the people, all he can get is money, but his looks will never be like before. That is the result forever ruined by a bad plastic surgery. He won't be able to back his Beauty. Your health should be always at first, so be careful when choosing your plastic surgeon.To avoid being a bad plastic surgery statistic, check the doctor that will operate you and don't rush into anything never hurry to doing plastic surgery sometome that will be the bad for you aslike you dive into the swiming pool where is no water. Please take your time to do something properly, that should be your guide in attempt to have a good private and business life. Don't be a victim of bad plastic surgeries. Don't water your time, money and your Beauty.

Dear Blog readers... depend upon some real facts some time plastic surgury can be harmful for us. By reading above person't experience was bad influence about plastic surgery It is not important that why do you want a plastic surgery, what is important is that there are some risks involved that you should know any kind of plastic or cosmetic surgery before going through with any procedure. It is one of the example of people influenced by bad plastic surgery ever.

Death Risks High After Weight Loss Surgery -Study

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:48:00 +0000

Dear blog readers...The higher risk and death rates found in the study were likely due to complications caused by obesity itself.

Patients who undergo weight-loss stomach surgery have a higher death rate than is true for the general population, including more suicides, perhaps linked to depression, researchers said on Monday.
The higher risk of death generally is due not to the surgery itself but to the health problems that accompany obesity, and the damage that the condition does to the body before and after surgery, the researchers said.

Dr. Bennet Omalu and colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh said a review of more than 16,000 bariatric operations done in Pennsylvania over a nine-year period found a "substantial excess of deaths owing to suicide and coronary artery disease" compared to normal death rates found in the population at large.
"It is very likely that the suicide deaths were ... underestimated because some of the deaths were listed as drug overdoses rather than suicide on the death certificate," Omalu's team wrote in their report, published in the Archives of Surgery.
"The large number of deaths due to suicide and drug overdose, in excess of what we expected, is also a cause for concern. Most of them occurred at least one year after surgery, suggesting that careful follow-up, especially the need to recognize and treat depression, should be provided," they added.
There were 440 deaths among the patients, who had an average age of 48 when the operations were performed. About 1 percent of the patients in the study died within a year of the procedures and 6 percent died within five years.
Heart disease was listed as the cause of death in 76 patients -- about 20 percent of the group -- a rate higher than would be common in the general population, the researchers found.
There were 14 suicides, compared to two that would be likely to occur in the population at large in a group of people that size, said the study
Omalu's team said surgery is an effective treatment for severe obesity, with heavily overweight patients often losing 80 percent of their excess body weight within one or two years.
The higher death rates found in the study were likely due to complications caused by obesity itself, from both before and after the surgery, they said.
In a second study, Dr. Christopher Still and colleagues at the Geisinger Health System in Danville, Pennsylvania, found that bariatric surgery patients who lost some weight beforehand get out of the hospital quicker.
The study of more than 800 patients who underwent open or laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery between 2002 and 2006 found that those who lost more than 5 percent of their excess body weight before the operation were less likely to stay in the hospital longer than four days compared to those who did not lose weight beforehand.
It also found that those who shed 10 percent of the excess weight ahead of time were more than twice as likely to have lost 70 percent of their excess weight a year later, compared to those who lost none at all.
The researchers said the effect has to do with the beneficial effects of weight loss on high blood pressure, diabetes and other problems.

That's why be sure, be care before you going to weight loss surgery, beauty is not wealth, health is wealth.

Rhinoplasty

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:22:00 +0000

Rhinoplasty: Why I really wanted it ?
according to one of the patient's commitment that i found on the internet so i here by try to bring some freshness about whey they really want to do the rhinoplasy surgery.

rhinoplasty plastic surgery during surgery operation

Some People have different reasons to get about the rhinoplasty surgery done. As per my experience i went to my doctor with the complaint of my having a “ball-peen hammer nose”; looks so embarrass, clinically referred to as a ‘Hanging Columella’. Now, I never really thought of my nose as unsightly until a very rude Model said I had a “Ball-peen Hammer” nose. What the heck does that mean?!? So, ever since then I have been insecure about it (9 whole years until the day of my rhinoplasty surgery), I had considered having a nose job or rhinoplasty surgery so far. As well as i wanted the tiny hump on my nose removed while i doing rhinoplasty surgery.

Eventually my doctor told me if I had just had the tip nipped and tucked and narrowed that the bone structure towards the top would look wide. Well, I never even thought I had a thick nose until he pointed it out. Alas! $3,000. more than just having the tip ‘done’. But, then of course after he pointed it out I obsessed about it. I was ready to have a full nose rhinoplasty surgery (RhinoPlasty).

He was right; I had to have Rhinoplasty done as soon as possible according to his advice. finally i had done my rhinoplasty surgery of my nose. now i am so happy to having such a beautiful nose. i think i was looking so ugly without rhinoplasty surgery before. thank you doctor.

Well, dear blog reader this is the little far experience of Rhinoplasty surgery that i found in the internet and i though it is best personal experience who become so desired to ready RhinoPlasty surgery the reason why i had to post it in my blog in order to avoid any doubtfulness about doing rhinoplasty surgery.

Tummy Tucks Surgery photos (before & after)

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:32:00 +0000

A number of different factors can contribute to an unflattering waistline or an unattractive tummy. Weight gain is, of course, one of the primary culprits. Dieting and exercise can help to eliminate some of the fat which has accumulated. However, if the amount of fat has stretched out the abdominal skin or has caused new skin to grow, no amount of exercising can remove this skin. This means that, in some instances, even if a person lives healthy and loses large amounts of fat, the person may not be able to return to their previous appearance. People who have undergone large-scale weight gain and loss sometimes end up with large amounts of saggy, droopy, wrinkled or flabby skin.
Pregnancy is also a major culprit in creating unflattering tummies. As many mothers know, a pregnancy can cause the creation of stubborn pockets of fat in the abdominal region which can be hard to lose. Even the women who manage to go back to their pre-pregnancy weight often find that they haven't quite regained their pre-pregnancy appearance. Much like being extremely overweight, a pregnancy can also stretch out the abdominal skin, creating a wrinkly and droopy appearance. Similarly, a pregnancy can also actually stretch out the abdominal muscles, causing them to protrude outward. This combination of protruding musculature and excess skin can often contribute to a flabby appearance, even when there is relatively little abdominal fat present. It can also accentuate and exaggerate the effects of what abdominal fat is there.
In cases such as these, it can be impossible for a person to completely flatten his or her tummy with traditional methods like diet and exercise. A tummy tuck presents a great solution for solving these issues with a surgical procedure that is safe, affordable and effective.

If you are self-conscious about the appearance of your stomach, whether because of loose skin in the abdominal area or a prominent pooch, then a tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty) could be able to help you.

Labia Reduction Surgery

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:05:00 +0000

Labioplasty (vaginal lip reduction) reduces the size of the labia minora at the entrance to the vagina to make the vaginal "lips" more aesthetically pleasing. Many women suffer about labiaplasty or labia reduction from oversized or asymmetrical labia minora, the folds of the skin or "inner lips" surrounding the entrance to the vagina. Asymmetrical or elongated labia may can cause irritation, physical discomfort, and may be a cause of embarrassment with a sexual partner. Note that, just like other parts of the body, labia are not usually perfectly symmetrical (ie one is usually longer than the other.) If you have oversized, asymmetrical, and/or protruding inner vaginal "lips" (labia minora) that are causing symptoms or are a source of embarrassment, labioplasty surgery may be fruitfull for you. Labioplasty reduces the labia minora so that the inner "lips" don't protrude from the outer "lips" to produce a more aesthetically pleasing look. Labioplasty reduction surgery is usually done under local anesthetic and/or intravenous sedation.

How Cosmetic Surgery Can Improve Your Life

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 02:56:00 +0000

Are you concerned or constantly distracted with an imperfection that your body may have? If you just lost a lot of weight, excess skin may be causing you to feel ashamed and embarrassed. Wrinkles, due the early signs of aging, and unwanted body hair are just a few of the many imperfections that individuals, just like you, want to treat. The good news is that you likely have a number of different options, including cosmetic surgery.
As nice as it is to hear that cosmetic surgery is an option that you can choose, you may be unsure if it is the right decision. With the costs and the risks, many individuals wonder if the impact that cosmetic surgery will have on their life is really worth it. For you to make a decision, you should first review a few of the many ways that cosmetic surgery can improve your life.
For starters, it is important to examine your self-confidence and self-esteem. If you have an imperfection on your body that is easily visible to others, like unwanted body hair that just won’t stay away, your self-confidence may be poor. Other than that unwanted hair, you may feel beautiful and attractive. Once the problem is taken care of you, you are likely to notice an improvement in your self-worth, self-confidence, and self-esteem. For many individuals, this is more than worth the costs of cosmetic surgery.
Along with an improvement in self-confidence and an improvement in self-esteem comes the ability to socialize better. Those with noticeable body or skin imperfections, even small, often hide themselves from others out of fear of being embarrassed or poorly judged. The good news is that if you use cosmetic surgery to seek treatment, you don’t have to hide or live in fear of embarrassment any longer. If you are currently single, you may enjoy spending more time with your friends or even approaching others for dates!
Even if you are not single, but married, there is still a lot that cosmetic surgery can do for you. There comes a point in just about every marriage where husbands and wives reach a comfort zone. One of the first things to go is appearance. Cosmetic surgery can help to make your spouse fall in love with you all over again, like it was when you first met. Also, the increase in self-worth and self-confidence, which was touched on above, may do wonders for your marriage, namely where sex and communication is involved.
Cosmetic surgery, depending on what type of procedure you are looking to undergo, may also give you an advantage in the working world. Do you have poor teeth? Could you use a visit to a cosmetic dentist? Veneers, teeth whitening, dental implants, and gum lifts are common cosmetic procedures that will give you a happy, healthy, and professional smile. While we should be judged on our qualifications in the workplace, you may be surprised to learn just how big of an impact appearance does have.
As you can see, there are a number of different ways that undergoing cosmetic surgery can help to improve your life. If you are ready to get started, contact one of your local cosmetic surgeons or surgery centers today to schedule a consultation appointment. During this appointment, your physician can work with you to determine if you are an ideal candidate for cosmetic surgery, as well discuss your procedural options.

Breast Surgery (Mammaplasty): Breast Reduction and Breast Lift

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:35:00 +0000

Apart from aesthetic concerns, too large breasts are associated with psychological discomfort and other disturbing medical conditions, such as skin irritation, neck and back pain as well as bad posture. In this cases breast reduction is indicated, which implies removal of skin and fat, as well as some glandulBrar tissue.
Aging or breastfeeding may affect breast contours, while breast size remains normal. As a result, breast laxity and sagging may be observed.
A common approach used in Russia leaves a patient with a long horizontal scar and two vertical scars. We use vertical mammaplasty techniques that avoid long horizontal scars, while other scars are minimal in number and length. Women themselves are considering these scars to be an acceptable «fee» for a good breast shape.
Mammaplasty allows breast reduction or contour correction while maintaining initial size.

Dear Blog Readers.. everyone can see a proof of Breat Surgery as i think it is not so bad for us making your breast from bigger to bit smaller rather then other surgery.

Women's business: Labioplasty

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:46:00 +0000

Dr Mark Kohout

Labioplasty is also known as labia reduction, inner lip reduction, labia minora reduction or vaginal rejuvenation. Cosmetic labioplasty involves surgically reducing and/or reshaping the female external genital structures. Large or asymmetric labia may cause different problems for women. They may cause physical discomfort, may chaff against underwear or be visible through swimming costumes.

More commonly, large labia tend to make women self-conscious about their appearance, which may impact on their sexual and emotional relationships. Their self-confidence may also be affected. Here is how one patient explains it:

"My labia would actually protrude. I would stand up and it would pop out and I would want to tuck it back up, but obviously I couldn't if I was in public. When it popped out, it rubbed on my underpants, which felt awful and was so unpleasant. I would complain to my mother about it, but she thought I would "grow out of it" and that it would shrink in time. But it didn't. "I had no self-confidence and when I was naked it dangled. My partner would joke about it but luckily, he wasn't really bothered by it at all — it was me that was bothered. I always made sure there was a lot of "mood lighting" in the bedroom."

Labioplasty is requested by women of all ages and walks of life. Often just feeling good about how you look can build self-confidence and self-esteem. Some patients report improvement in their sex lives as a result of this procedure and the effect it has on their confidence.

"I am so happy now: it's really changed my quality of life. Little things, like wearing a swimming costume, are different for me now. It used to be awful in summer — sometimes you could see the labia through the costume, which was so embarrassing. And to my partner's delight, I was "out of action" for only four weeks, even though I was told it could be up to six weeks."

Commonly asked questions How is the procedure performed?

Labioplasty can be performed in a day surgery, usually under general anaesthetic or sedation depending on your preference. The procedure takes 60-90 minutes. The excess tissue is marked out and removed. Once the surgery is completed, you will be transferred to the recovery ward for a couple of hours until you are ready to go home.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery is a gradual process but it usually takes about a week before returning to work. You can get back to exercise about two weeks after the operation and playing sport after about four to six weeks and sexual activity can resume after four to six weeks depending on your comfort levels.

What are the risks?

Labioplasty is a safe procedure but like all operations, has some risks. Bruising will persist for about a week and swelling will decrease over about six weeks. Asymmetry is possible and scars may also detract from the result. Nevertheless, labioplasty is a procedure with very high satisfaction.

Maintaining a relationship with your plastic surgeon

Should there be any questions regarding labioplasty surgery, be sure they are answered in advance. Well meaning friends are not a good source of information. Find out everything before proceeding with the operation — a well informed patient is a happy one.

Please remember that the relationship with your plastic surgeon does not end when you leave the operating room. If you have questions or concerns during your recovery, or need additional information at a later time, you should contact your surgeon.

Breast Lift Plastic Surgery without implant

noreply@blogger.com (Dean Greg) — Mon, 12 May 2008 13:34:00 +0000

What is Breast lift surgery / Mastopexy?
Breast lift or Mastopexy is designed to improve the shape and position of the breasts without reducing their size. It is a term used for breasts which sag but are not necessarily too large. Sagging of the breasts may occur with normal development for some women or as part of aging. Pregnancy, breast-feeding, and weight loss are other conditions which increase breast ptosis (sagging). Some patients will have a better shape to their breast if an implant is used at the time of mastopexy.

The shape of the breasts is affected by its connective tissues, skin and volume. During the years the breast might change its form and drop down depending up on what kind of shape of your breast fitting into your body. The reason for the breast drop can be: pregnancies, extreme changes in weight, hormones, some kind of bad plastic surgery about breast and more.

Breast Lift Surgery - Mastopexy side picture

In order to change the degree of the breasts there is a breast lift surgery which also called: Mastopexy.

There are two kinds of breast lift surgeries:

Change the degree of the breasts by altering the structure of the tissues, and reducing the extra skin. Might make the breasts smaller because of the decrease in the skin.
Change degree and make the breast bigger by inserting implements during the breast lift surgery (Mastopexy) in order to add volume to the breasts.

Breast lift surgery-Mastopexy straight picture

Breast Lift Plastic Surgery - Risks and complications
Like in every breast lift plastic surgery (mastopexy) there might be: bleeding, infection, big scars, some asymmetry, and more. Talk to you doctor to get the information and to make sure that he knows what to do in those cases.

Tips for when you do Breast Lift Plastic Surgery

Choose only certified clinics.
To know if you need breast lift look at your nipple; if it's under the breast fold line that means you need one. Also the nipple should be vertical to the middle of the forearm.
If the diameter of the crown of the nipple is too big, it is possible to make it smaller during the same surgery.
Don't try to make the breast stand by only making it bigger. There is always a need to adjust the breast by lifting it. If you will only make it bigger it will be big and downfallen.
Talk to you doctor about risks and complications to make sure that he knows what to do in those cases.
If you intend to get pregnant it is best to wait after the pregnancies to have the breast lift surgery or you might need to redo it after you're done with pregnancies.

Please understand that mastopexy can not be performed without some degree of scarring. The scars usually heal well but in some cases they can persist for a few years.

Cosmetic surgery seeks to improve the patient’s features on a purely aesthetic level, in the absence of any actual deformity or trauma. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to correct any physical feature which is grossly deformed or abnormal by accepted standards---either as the result of a birth defect, congenital disorder, illness, or trauma. Often, reconstructive surgery addresses not only a deformed appearance, but also seeks to correct or improve some deficiency or abnormality in the function of the body part in question.
