Liposuction Used By Cancer Patients For Breast Reconstructive Surgery

Cancer patients are now able to have breast reconstruction after surgery with a new form of liposuction. Ten cancer patients at Singleton Hospital in Swansea located in Wales are the first to benefit from this new procedure.

Fat is taken from around the stomach or thighs and processed with a new machine, which uses stem cells to help the fat survive.

The fat is then re-injected into the body where the original tumour was removed from the breast.

The new procedure is only available at a few centers in the UK. This new liposuction procedure is less invasive than traditional breast reconstructive surgery which is a major operation involving a stay of several days in the hospital.

Samantha Ward-Jones, 39, who wanted to repair damage from the removal of a tumour from her breast two years ago, was the first of the patients at Singleton to have the treatment.

“To be able to be part of something so new and so revolutionary was just very exciting,” said Ms Ward-Jones. “I felt it was the end of a bad period in my life and something positive.”

“It was a very hard thing to have breast cancer and have the operation and have the tumour removed,” she adds.

“To feel whole again and feel back to normal like I was two years ago is incredible.”

According to consultant oncoplastic surgeon Nader Khonji, the new technique has a higher success rate because of the innovative use of stem and regenerative cells from the fat.

“The fat that’s removed is put into the machine for processing,” Mr Khonji explained.

“This machine uses a special enzyme to break down the tissue and spins it to concentrate the stem cells – the crucial cells that contain growth factors for the new growth of blood vessels.”

Those cells are then mixed back in remaining fat and re-injected into the breast a far quicker procedure than conventional breast reconstruction, which involves moving muscle tissue from the patient’s back.

Shirley Redden, who also underwent the procedure, said: “It’s about self-esteem.”

Mrs Redden, who wanted breast reconstruction following a lumpectomy two years ago, said: “I might be older, but I’ve still got pride.

“I’m hoping this will help make me feel better and get over the trauma of treatment. When it is done, I’ll feel like a woman again.”

If treatment of the first 10 patients continues to be successful, it is hoped that the new procedure can be developed in the future for patients needing whole breast reconstruction after mastectomy, instead of using conventional implants.

Mesotherapy Still the Most Popular Cellulite Treatment

Doctors listed at Getmeso.com, who offer mesotherapy, still say it is one of the most effective non surgical procedures for removing cellulite.

Mesotherapy in the hands of a qualified specialist is a relatively safe procedure. Mesotherapy uses a combination of traditional and homeopathic medicine and vitamins which are are injected into the area being treated. Common area of treatment include the chin, buttocks, thighs, abdomen and arms. Read about mesotherapy side effects.

Mesotherapy has been featured on such television shows as 48 Hours, The View, 20/20, and in national newspapers such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, and USA Today, as well as many woman’s magazines including People Magazine, W Magazine, Allure, Elle, among others.

Mesotherapy has been used for bodysculpting as an alternative to liposuction. Mesotherapy can shrink belly fat, double chins, saddlebags and bra bulge. For some it is a reasonable alternative to surgery to shrink fat underneath the eyes. As a cellulite treatment mesotherapy has no peers. Cottage cheese and dimpling fade away. Many believe mesotherapy to be far, far superior to endermology or any laser treatment.

Facial mesotherapy using vitamins and hyaluronic acid can create glow and really rejuvenate. In many instances the Mesolift or Mesoglow can be performed two or three days BEFORE your daughter’s or grand daughter’s wedding for a healthy radiant glow. (Even the Bride can be treated!)

You will be surprised to learn that mesotherapy is not a new procedure. It has actually been performed in Europe for over 50 years. It was developed by the French physician Michel Pistor, M.D. to treat a variety of health ailments. Over the course of time, his colleagues in both Europe and South America discovered the mesotherapy was amazingly effective in handling cosmetic problems formally confined to the field of plastic and cosmetic surgery.

With the explosion in awareness about cosmetic enhancement many people are looking for a kinder, gentler way. Less is more. Mesotherapy seems to fit that bill.

Popular mesotherapy specialists include:

Douglas Day MD – Mesotherapy Portland
Roberta L Shepard-Mardocco NP -Mesotherapy Tucson
Jeylan T. El-Mansoury M.D. – Mesotherapy Philadelphia
Dwight Hiscox MD – Mesotherapy Los Angeles (Encino)

Holly Madison Talks About Plastic Surgery

Holly Madison In Style Magazine

Holly Madison In Life & Style Magazine

Holly Madison recently appeared in Life & Style Magazine.  She told the magazine, “Yeah, I had my boobs and nose done, now look at me! I can shimmy across a Vegas stage topless with confidence!”

“Growing up, the last thing Holly expected was to be flat-chested,” the article’s “Cinderella story” section reports.

“While that didn’t stop her from becoming head cheerleader, she says she often flipped through Playboy magazine and dreamed of being a curvy pinup one day.”

Looks like dreams do come true.

Holly decided to get surgery only after moving into the Playboy Mansion. “Living with Hef brought down my self-esteem a lot,” she says. “I was comparing myself to the other girls. Hef always said he didn’t want me to get anything done.”

She did have the realization though after surgery that “Beauty is on the inside. Looks don’t define you—they’re just a tool to get what you want.”

She’ll plans to tour school sharing that message.

Gerald Butler Works Hard for His Body

Gerals Butler in great form

Gerals Butler in great form

Gerard Butler, star of the movies 300 and Gamers, looks like a natural to me. I believe that he has obtained his fat burning, ripped body by himself with hard work and diet.

However. it’s no secret that many men are turning to some form of cosmetic surgery to try to have a physique as perfect as Gerald Butler.

Two of the most common procedures for men wanting the “ripped” look are liposuction and male pec implants. With liposuction, a surgeon can remove excess fat using any number of technologies, including tumescent liposuction, laser liposuction such as SmartLipo.

Liposculpture is a cosmetic surgery technique used to define abdominal muscles. The procedure offers quick recovery with minimal swelling and downtime. The side effects and risks are minimal, but can include infection. It is best to consult with a qualified liposuction doctor.

Male pec implants offer a quick step to nicely-built pectoral muscles. This procedure is similar to breast implants in women, except that the male pec implant is a more solid silicone product. By design, the implant supplies a man’s chest with a masculine shape, firmness and size.

However, Male pec implant surgery carries some risk. Recovery can take as long as six weeks, and the patient can experience soreness and implant shifts, as well as risk infections. To minimize the chance of complications with any cosmetic surgery procedure, prospective patients should always look for a doctor who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

To me there is only one Gerald Butler, though. His personality and inner beauty as well as his phenomenal body make him the total package.

Demi Moore Responds to Plastic Surgery Accusations

Demi Moore before and after pictures

Demi Moore denies she’s had hundreds of thousands of dollars in plastic surgery.

Moore recently responded to some unbelievable comments people have made by Twittering Monday night. She admits that having her three daughters has left her with stretch marks and extra skin.

Moore replied to a person who claimed that Moore could not go from stretch marks and saggy skin, once seen in an old paparazzi shot taken of her at the beach, to the beautiful body she now has.

Demi’s response?

“I still have excess skin & stretch marks!”

When someone responded to that remark with disbelief, saying she did not, Moore followed up with, “Ahh hate to break it to you but I do. Comes with having a few kids 4 some of us!”

Before her recent twitter comments, a few days earlier Moore, 46, gave an interview in which she denied having anything done, stating:

‘It’s completely false – I’ve never had it done,’ said Moore, adding: ‘But I would never judge those who have. If it’s the best thing for them, then I don’t see a problem.

‘On the other hand, I don’t like the idea of having an operation to hold up the ageing process – it’s a way to combat your neurosis. The scalpel won’t make you happy…

‘That said, the day when I start crying when I look at myself in the mirror might be the day when I’m less adamant about not having it done. For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look 30.’

Plastic Surgery Allowed for Miss Universe Contestants

Miss Switzerland, Miss Puerto Rico, Miss USA 2009

Miss Switzerland, Miss Puerto Rico, Miss USA 2009

It has been estimated that 30 percent of Miss Universe contestants have had some sort of cosmetic work or plastic surgery done prior to the competition.

I would say that breast augmentation may be the most obvious.  We can’t say for certain which contestants have had actual cosmetic work done, but the women are beautiful.

According to a Fox News article: “A source close to the Donald Trump-owned Miss Universe Organization [says] that not only is elective [plastic] surgery allowed, but it is quietly encouraged.”

Last night Miss Venezuela won for the second year in a row. Watch video.
