Plastic Surgery Helps Sculpt the Body
Gaining and losing massive amounts of weight can put a lot of stress on your body. Skin cells become stretched out to capacity and are often so damaged that they can never bounce back once the excess weight is gone, leaving newly thin physiques with hanging skin.
Many people find their new bodies so distorted from the weight loss that they become more emotionally distressed than when they were overweight. When exercise and dieting does not work to get you back into shape after weight loss, plastic surgery can help get your body back into shape. There are many nip and tuck procedures that can help re-sculpt your body.

Botox Can Treat Migraines
Many people have heard of Botox as a wrinkle-reducing, non-invasive type of cosmetic surgery. Yet far fewer have heard that this wrinkle-banishing agent can actually be a treatment for severe migraine headaches. The company that makes Botox, Allergan, recently released a press statement, indicating that its product shows excellent potential for reducing the suffering for migraine patients.
Botox as a Medical Agent
After its two Phase III clinical trials, Allergan found that that among patients who suffered from 15 or more migraine headaches a month, Botox injections helped to significantly reduce the number of headache days vs. the number of headache days for those receiving the placebo.
Breast Augmentation – Is it Safe For Teenagers?
Being a teenager is difficult, particularly in this media-driven world of perfection. The pressure that teens put on themselves and that are perceived by their peers is intense. As a result, many teens turn to plastic surgery to correct flaws, imagined or real. Breast augmentation is one of the procedures popular among teen-age girls. Popular or not, is it safe for teen-age girls to get breast implants?
Surgery is surgery, whether it is cosmetic or not, and with surgery comes risk. Breast augmentation performed on teenagers is not different. Just because she is young and healthy doesn’t mean she won’t have a reaction to the anesthesia or experience infection and other complications after the surgery.

Plastic Surgery reaches back to the 700s BCE. Physicians in ancient India including Sushruta were making use of skin grafts for reconstructive work as early as the 8th century BC. In his work Sushruta Samhita describes rhinoplasty and otoplasty. This knowledge of plastic surgery existed in India up to the late 18th century as can be seen from the reports published in Gentleman’s Magazine (October 1794).
