Just as many people are excited about the breakthrough in breast enhancement surgery that is fat grafting, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery are also quite thrilled to spoil the fun as they released an announcement that fat grafting is not safe as of the moment based on the lack of safety and efficacy data. This is also due to concerns that the procedure may interfere with the accurate detection of breast cancer.Technorati Tags: breast implants, breast augmentation, cosmetic surgery
Alarmed at the increase of botched breast augmentations in women who opted to get their operations from commercial clinics, plastic surgeons in UK joined forces to offer breast implant surgery for less.
This amazing breast augmentation package, which allows women to get their breasts done for as low as £4,250, is available through Mybreast (mybreast.org). Aside from the amazingly low surgery cost, the package also includes free lifetime follow-up and each patient is assigned one surgeon who follows through the whole process.

The Holiday rush is over but cosmetic surgery gift certificates may still be up for grabs. People are forming up long queues not just in shopping malls but also in plastic surgeon’s offices. It is hard to resist the need to erase those lines and remove those jowls. Everyone wants to welcome the New Year with a refreshed look.
Plastic surgeons are glad that this sort of thing is happening but they are also concerned of the quality of service patients are getting with their cosmetic surgery work. Thus, they are suggesting that patients should be asking these very important questions to their surgeons before they take the plunge and get breast augmentation surgery.

The Food and Drug Administration has lifted the ban against silicone implants last month. Women now have a choice if they decide to get breast augmentation. They can now either opt for saline or silicone implants. However, choosing silicone implants places women in a quite unfavourable position.
SignOn San Diego says that the FDA along with the manufacturers of silicone implants require women to undergo a special Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) every couple of years over a woman’s lifetime to check for leaks and ruptures. The sad thing is, having a series of MRIs would mean that women need to spend at least $10,000 for the first 10 years after getting the implants.

Women have always been complaining about their breasts more than they complain about any other part of their body. And rightly so, bigger breasts have always been a turn on for men. It is therefore not surprising at all to find out that when Cosmetic Surgery Answers, UK’s first cosmetic surgery blog, conducted a survey among women on what particular part of their anatomy they want done, breasts came out triumphant.

It is sad to note that risks and complications in cosmetic surgery and cosmetic treatments take place because patients brought those very things to themselves. Aside from the fact that some people don’t choose their surgeons carefully and opt for a much cheaper alternative such as going to unlicensed physicians for a specific operation, they also go as far as participating in underground cosmetic surgery where illicit drugs and substances are distributed.
