THE LIPOSUCTION BLOG

The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen — but before rushing off to schedule surgery there is much to consider.

If you have loose skin on your tummy from pregnancies or dieting, you probably have given at least passing consideration to having a “tummy tuck.” Abdominoplasty is a common surgical procedure usually rendering excellent results – but all tummy tucks aren’t the same. Which one might be right for you?

There are three basic types abdominoplasty procedures – the mini, the standard and the extended. Which one you should consider can only be determined after a surgeon meets with and examines you. An abdominoplasty has a more extensive recovery time than many other cosmetic procedures, but it provides a long lasting and a very effective result. After the surgery, there is a truly dramatic, positive change to your body shape and your tummy will be flatter and tighter.

The simplest and easiest tummy tuck to recover from is the “mini” tummy tuck. This procedure is typically suited to women who have never had children, or have had just one pregnancy, and is appropriate if there is only a small amount of loose skin in the central lower abdomen. In this procedure the surgeon tightens the skin only and doesn’t repair the underlying abdominal muscle. The scar on the “mini” tummy tuck is normally shorter, usually horizontal, and most often placed just above the pubic area within the upper pubic hairline.

The next step up from the “mini” tummy tuck is the “standard” tummy tuck. If you have had several pregnancies, this is usually the best procedure. Normally with this surgery the excess skin is excised and there is repair of the underlying abdominal muscles. The scar is usually horizontal and above the pubic area but it is longer, extending from approximately one hipbone to the other.

The most extensive tummy tuck is the “extended” procedure. This surgery is often indicated for women who have had multiple pregnancies or for those who have lost a massive amount of weight. Excess skin is excised from the abdomen and flanks and the underlying abdominal muscle is tightened as well. The scar runs across the upper pubic hair area and extends upwards toward the back on both sides. It is a long scar but many think the benefit is worth it, as it tightens the entire lower torso. Also, a really good surgeon is usually talented at leaving behind the bare minimum of scarring.

As in all medical/surgical procedures, your choices regarding abdominoplasty should be determined only after careful research and frank and open discussions with a licensed, qualified physician. A tummy tuck has the possibility of dramatically improving self-esteem concerning your body, but it still is a major surgical procedure and you’ll want to be fully informed before going ahead with it.

Note: The specific risks and the suitability of a tummy tuck for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation with a physician. All procedures have some degree of risk. The information provided here is not a substitute for a consultation.

An Orange County tummy tuck can help achieve a flatter tummy, but it isn’t the only alternative. Due to the development of liposuction, there is another alternative to tummy tuck in the quest for a smaller abdominal region. But when should one be considered over the other?

Abdominal fat can be difficult to remove with even the most rigorous exercise routines and the strictest of diets. This is where liposuction comes in. Liposuction is a surgical alternative to diets and exercise – one in which sacrifice lasts only for a few hours but whose rewards can be reaped for months, and depending on the patient’s care, even years. Liposuction involves sucking out the fat from fatty regions. In the case of the abdomen, tumescent liposuction has made it possible to remove fat by making small incisions in the stomach, thereby minimizing scarring in that region and shortening the patient’s recovery time.

One would think that liposuction has rendered tummy tuck useless. On the contrary, tummy tucks are all the more necessary with the growing popularity of liposuction procedures. The truth of the matter is that some patients find skin shrinkage a problem, even after a successful liposuction. While and because there is less fat in the abdominal region, the skin becomes droopy and hangs in an unsightly manner. Much like the aftereffects of pregnancy, post-liposuction abdominal skin rarely returns to its original form.

In order to achieve not only a flatter but a taut tummy as well, most patients go for a combination of Orange County tummy tuck and liposuction. These two procedures work fine separately, but can provide considerable improvements when administered together.

Today plastic surgeons offer a variety of procedures

to nip, tuck, or otherwise enhance aspects of their

clients’ appearance. These procedures are often not covered by insurance. Costs vary as greatly as the

procedures offered.

“Cosmetic surgery” includes liposuction, rhinoplasty

(nose jobs), tummy tucks, breast reduction — a huge

variety of procedures. Beyond the well-known surgeries are many similarly popular procedures such

as microdermabrasion, thigh lifts, and cellulite

massage treatments.

One of the factors determining the cost of a cosmetic

procedure is the location of your physician. For instance, on the East or West Coast, you would pay more for a tummy tuck than in the Midwest, where

cosmetic surgery is considerably less expensive than

in other parts of the country.

Even in the Midwest, cosmetic surgery is not

inexpensive. For example, a tummy tuck in the Midwest

would cost an average of $4,000, but in Pennsylvania would cost almost $5,000. In the Midwest, liposuction

would cost almost $2,300, but could be $2,750 in

Pennsylvania.

Costs also vary from surgeon to surgeon. While a lower

fee might stem from a professional’s desire to offer

affordable procedures, the fee might also reflect lack of experience or lower qualifications. It is

important to choose a surgeon who is capable and

qualified, rather than looking for the most

inexpensive procedure.

The complexity and popularity of a procedure affect

its cost. A face-lift or rhinoplasty, for instance,

usually costs more than a Botox injection or cellulite massage treatment. It takes a skilled hand to perform

a successful facelift, but a Botox injection is much

simpler and has fewer potential complications.

Before scheduling plastic surgery, be sure to have an

accurate estimate of cost. If you need to finance your

procedure, it is important to arrange financing before the surgery date.

Plastic surgery can be expensive, and the price can be

greater than the procedure alone. Cosmetic surgery is

not without risk. If you decide that benefits outweigh the risks for you, find a competent surgeon

and determine beforehand the cost of your enhancement.

Liposuction is a form of cosmetic surgery that aims to remove fat from certain parts of the body. The procedure is also known as Lipoplasty or Suction Lipectomy. Popular areas of the body, which this procedure has been used for, include the abdomen, thighs, arms and buttocks. As this is a surgical method of fat removal, it is NOT considered an alternative to diet and/or exercise. In fact the goal of liposuction is often referred to as “body contouring” as opposed to weight loss.

Since the 1980s, Liposuction has undergone many changes in order to minimize the risks involved. As such, there are a variety of techniques available, which may not require the use of a general anesthesia. Usually, a local anesthesia is preferred as it reduces the risks associated with a general one – besides any prolonged hospital stay.

Each technique has its pros and cons; factors can include the condition of the individual themselves and the physician. Generally speaking though, the individual should be in good health, an adult, have tried diet and exercise, yet still find a significant amount of fat left on their body.

Having diabetes, an infection, heart and/or circulation problems and/or taking any medication that affects the healing of wounds (anticoagulants) normally preclude one from the procedure. There are also other considerations that need to be accounted for before an individual undergoes the procedure.

Considerations include the technique used and type of anesthetic. The elasticity of the skin covering the potential area is also considered. If the skin is not sufficiently elastic, it may not tighten properly for the desired effect.

Avoid smoking for several weeks prior to the procedure. Smoking can affect blood circulation. Again, no anticoagulants should be taken as well. This can affect the healing process. Also, no alcoholic beverages should be consumed.

In terms of ensuring a safe and expeditious recovery, the individual should drink enough water to prevent dehydration. Again, avoid alcohol, avoid using any ice packs, heating pads or submerging the affected areas in water.

In terms of some of the techniques, they are the following: basic liposuction with a fluid injection, tumescent liposuction, use of stitches, super wet liposuction, ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL), power assisted liposuction (PAL) and external ultrasound assisted liposuction (XUAL or EUAL). Some individuals may opt to undergo liposuction combined with some other procedure. However, it is commonly discouraged.

Every man wants a bigger penis. I know guys who had perfectly good-sized penises and were still worried their lovers may find them “too small”. So I believe it’s time for some penis enlargement facts. What are the options you have if you really want to enlarge your penis? You can opt for surgical and non-surgical techniques. Let’s see what works for penis enlargement and what doesn’t!

Surgical penis enlargement facts:

Since 1971, penile-lengthening surgery has been offered to men with severe shortening due to congenital abnormalities (abnormalities present from birth), surgery (for penile cancer or Peyronie’s disease) or trauma (accidental or deliberate amputation).

Techniques for cosmetic lengthening were described in 1990. More than 10,000 men have had such surgery, but reliable information about results and complications have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal (a journal where the quality and content of the research is checked by independent experts). Given the number of operations performed, this fact is both astounding and worrying.

Through surgery, the penis can be visually enlarged, usually by just over an inch. The surgeon will cut the ligaments that hold the penis in its usual position and this allows the penis to descend. Weights, or stretching devices, are then used for a few months to give a permanent increase in size. When this ligament is cut, the penis may look longer because more of it hangs outside the body. But cutting the suspensor ligament can cause an erect penis to wobble and position itself at odd angles, particularly when erect.

There are two techniques in common use for increasing penile girth:

- Injection of liposuctioned fat, from the abdominal wall or thighs, into the dartos fascia, under the skin of the penile shaft.

- Placing grafts of dermis (a layer of tissue from under the skin surface that is well supplied with blood vessels) and fat from the groin or buttock area within the penile shaft.

The results following injection of liposuctioned fat can be deeply disappointing. Up to 90 percent of the fat can disappear within a year. Grafts seem to do rather better, but there is no reliable published data on long-term results. At least one person has died from bleeding after augmentation surgery. Apart from the risks of infection and bleeding, specific complications exist for each procedure.

Lengthening Procedures:

- Scrotalisation of the penis, in which the penis appears to arise from the scrotum instead of the abdominal wall.

- “Dog-ears” at each end of the operation scar.

- Sloughing of the skin used to increase penile length (the skin has a poor blood supply and therefore dies, leaving a deep, ulcerated area).

Girth-increasing Procedures:

- Loss of girth due to fat re-absorption.

- Nodule formation, if the implanted fat does not disappear uniformly. The penis can be left with a deformed appearance, with irregular fatty lumps all over it.

So maybe you are better off without any surgery after all.

The next thing you can go for takes a non-surgical approach. The scam is widely known as “penis enlargement pills”. Penis enlargement pills cost a lot less than surgery, less than $50 per bottle, and if you will be using them for a year it will only amount to $600, compared to $4000 – the starting point for penis enhancement surgery.

Penis enlargement pills are herbal pills, so they don’t have to be tested. The marketers can make any claims whatsoever about their pills – I’ve even seen pills that can make you grow taller. The good news here is that you won’t experience bad side effects, if any. These pills are nothing more than vitamins with or without an addition of testosterone. You can get intoxicated on them, so don’t try to take too many at once. If you notice any unusual side effects (nausea, vomiting, headache, tension or pain in muscles and joints etc), call a Poison Control center right away.

The last method to try is penis enlargement devices such as stretchers. These are also non-expensive and some people build them at home. Trying any home-made penis enlargement device is a big no-no. There are a million risks involved here and you don’t want to risk injuries to your penis when you know surgery may not be a desirable option as well.

Approved stretchers and traction devices may work for some men, but they are not so widely used because exercising with them takes time. If you do have time they may prove an efficient and safe method for you, but always be sure you understand all the instructions before using any such device on your penis.

And there you have it, that’s the truth about penis enlargement, what works and what doesn’t.

More and more Canadians are seeking plastic surgery for many reasons based on a combination of aesthetic, social, professional and emotional factors.

Along with the increase in popularity is the increase in concerns from the patients. The decision to undergo any type of elective surgery is extremely personal. They want to ensure how to select the most qualified plastic surgeon for their particular surgery.

 The Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAPS) and the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS) encourage Canadians to educate themselves before their trip to the plastic surgeon’s office.

 “As surgeons, we understand that it can be intimidating for many people considering plastic surgery to speak openly and honestly with their surgeon about the procedure and about the surgeon’s qualifications and experience, but we’re concerned to see that so many Canadians still go into a surgeon’s office undereducated and even misinformed,” said  Dr.Yvan Larocque, President, Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

“We therefore felt it was important to speak out, and as leaders in the plastic surgery field, provide guidance for Canadians on how to find out more about their surgeon to ensure that they are speaking with someone who is qualified to perform the procedure”.

We asked Dr. Frank Lista and Dr. Richard Warren to share their knowledge for anyone seeking information on plastic surgery.

They encourage patients to “Ask questions, consult with more than one plastic surgeon, and check their credentials and specialty; so, you are able to make an informed personal decision.”

Like many fields, plastic surgery has undergone significant technological and conceptual changes in recent years. There are constantly new advances; which translate into a faster patient recovery and more natural appearing results. Education is an important part of the activity of these organizations both to the membership and to the general public. Annual scientific meetings are held to share knowledge and expertise in order to improve our quality of care and advance the practice of plastic surgery.

Dr. Frank Lista is often called upon to share his expertise with his peers, especially breast implant surgery techniques.

“All specialists are now required to maintain their competency; to keep their specialty certificate they are required to attend continuing medical education sessions. Patients should visit more than one surgeon for a personal consultation and research the surgeon’s specialty by visiting  www.royalcollege.ca Although the College of Physicians and Surgeons verifies the surgeon’s medical license it doesn’t determine their specialty”  explains Dr. Lista.

We all want to feel comfortable with the surgeon we choose and we want to feel that we can communicate openly and honestly with him or her.

 “The relationship between patients and their plastic surgeon is very important, especially with surgeries requiring more technical skills like breast augmentation and liposuction. Our primary goal is to make sure that any Canadian who is seeking a cosmetic procedure is fully informed and is receiving the best standards of care by a certified surgeon,” said Dr. Achilleas Thoma, President, Canadian Society for Plastic Surgeons.

 “Most importantly, patients need to feel comfortable talking with their physician, before and after surgery and we hope that by raising awareness of available tools that Canadians can use, we will achieve that and discard the myths that exist  around plastic surgery.”

There are advertisements suggesting that breast implants have to be changed every 10 years and replaced with cohesive gel implants. We asked Dr. Lista and Dr. Warren their opinion on this confusing advertising message. We want to know why a woman would or should replace her implants, especially if she is absolutely okay.

“Any elective surgical procedure carries some risk. Problems and a higher rate of complications can incur when you introduce a second risk. There is no medical evidence to suggest that breast implants should be replaced if there are no problems.

 Plus, there is a huge misconception that one implant is better than another. There is a difference in implants and a good surgeon uses whatever implant is right for that particular patient.”  Dr. Lista further explains that he does not use just one supplier’s brand or style of implant. “It depends on the patient”.

Just as important as your choice of surgeon is the comfort to know that your surgeon has the knowledge of several options for your personal surgery.  We suggest that you ask your surgeon why he or she would chose a certain type of implant and what surgical technique is suggested for your own body type.

 “There are basically two types of breast implants: saline and silicone.  Saline implants can spring a leak and deflate – something which can only be corrected by having an operation to insert a new implant.  I would not recommend unnecessary surgery to replace saline implants when there is nothing wrong with them.

 However, older silicone implants like those banned in 1992 were often filled with a liquid form of silicone which could potentially leak and get into the surrounding tissue.  There have been two main changes to silicone implants: a more durable shell (thicker and stronger), and the gel inside is cohesive, which means that if a crack develops in the shell, the gel will stick together, and not leak out like a liquid filler would.” explained Dr. Warren

Obviously we would want to know for sure before we would replace breast implants, but,  is there a suggestion that women replace their cohesive gel implants, just in case?

Dr. Warren explained further that, “If the shell of a silicone gel filled implant is thought to be ruptured, most surgeons will recommend its replacement.  However, it is difficult to determine if such a shell has become broken.  Currently, the best means to detect a crack in the shell of a cohesive gel implant is with an MRI and that is not 100% accurate. Also, some surgeons feel that a cohesive gel implant with a crack in the shell may be left alone because the body creates a protective layer of scar tissue around any object.  This thin layer, which is similar to Saran Wrap, will contain the gel if there has been disruption of the implant shell.”

Another surgical procedure we wanted clarification on was liposuction and the mixed opinions surrounding tumescent liposuction (does not always mean without general anesthetic).

“Tumescent is a technique used in liposuction where large volumes of dilute local anesthetic are injected into the fat.  This method can be used with the patient awake or under general anesthetic. With local anesthetic there is a risk of xylocaine toxicity, because of the amount of xylocaine( local anesthetic) needed to inject while the patient is awake. General anesthetic has made significant advances; with new drugs and safety measures the patient is barely asleep.

Even with light anesthetic I ensure it is administered properly by an anesthetist with me during surgery to ensure safety and eliminating any toxicity concerns.”clarified Dr. Lista.

 Problems and dissatisfaction can be minimized by fully understanding and having realistic expectations. It is extremely important to choose a surgeon who will clearly and thoroughly explain potential side effects and risks. He or she should also have proper and extensive training, along with an accredited facility.

Dr. Warren explained, “Unless you are doing liposuction on a small section at a time, most plastic surgeons believe a better result can be achieved if the patient is  under general anesthetic. Certainly, if large or multiple areas of the body are to be done for a patient who is awake, it is difficult and potentially dangerous to achieve complete freezing of all areas because of the large amount local anesthetic which must be injected.

Based on the person’s weight, surgeons can calculate the maximum dosage of local anesthetic which can be given to any patient and determine if general anesthetic is in the patient’s best interest.”

A clear understanding of the qualifications of the surgeon you choose is imperative.  He or she should also have proper and extensive training, along with an accredited surgical facility if not operating at a hospital. Check  to verify accreditation and regulations concerning a private surgical facility.

The aim of the Canadian Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities is threefold:
To establish facility and equipment guidelines that facilities must meet before being accepted for membership; To designate appropriate qualifications for individuals working in an ambulatory surgical facilities; To ensure that these standards are maintained in the day-to-day operation of the facility

Canadians interested in plastic surgery should visit the plastic surgery association website to find a qualified plastic surgeon and learn more about procedures including breast augmentation, liposuction and facelifts. A Canadian plastic surgeon is a well-trained, qualified specialist who has passed the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons examinations and is certified to practice Plastic Surgery. The Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery are the Canadian organizations to which practicing plastic surgeons belong.

Bring questions and take notes during your consultation; decide if you feel at ease with the surgeon and the surgeon’s staff, the surgical facility and most importantly do you feel comfortable with the surgeon’s qualifications and experience?

 Ask friends who have had plastic surgery or that may know someone who has. Check with your family physician, as this is also a reference point to see if he or she has seen any patients who may have had plastic surgery. 

Typical questions you should ask during your consultation are:  What happens if I have a problem after the surgery? Is there someone I can call 24/7?  Is there a support person I can speak to if the surgeon is not available? Are there before and after pictures of previous patients that I can see?

After you have done your homework; the decision is…a personal choice.

Numerous case reports in the 1980s appeared to suggest a linkage between silicone gel implants and connective tissue diseases and symptoms. The principal connective tissue disorders included scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren syndrome, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and polymyalgia rheumatica. There was also a concern over the possibility that the implants were linked to breast cancer and problems in breast-fed newborns. In response to this, the US-FDA in 1992 issued a moratorium on silicone breast implants and restricts the use of the implants for breast reconstruction and clinical studies only.

Subsequently, a number of large, population-based retrospective studies were conducted to test the association between silicone breast implants and connective tissue disorders. All studies have concluded that there is no association between silicone breast implants and any connective tissue disease. In addition, since the moratorium on silicone breast implants, several studies have proved that these devices are safe and do not cause connective tissue disease, malignancy, or risk to breast-feeding infants. Furthermore, clinical studies conducted by the British Department of Health and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences both demonstrate that silicone breast implants are safe for pregnancy, lactation, and breast-feeding.

In 1999, a landmark report, undertaken by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that silicone implants do not cause major health problems such lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. And while no one can ignore the fact that silicone – and saline – breast implants may cause localized problems for some patients, numerous scientific studies over the years have shown that silicone gel-filled implants are both safe and effective for breast augmentation and reconstruction. In fact, silicone gel breast implants are widely used in 60 countries around the world including Europe, and now are available for use in the U.S. market.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced November 17, 2006 the approval and availability of silicone gel-filled breast implants, ending a 14-year ban on the use of silicone implants for cosmetic breast surgery. Now all women over 22 years old seeking cosmetic breast augmentation and women seeking breast reconstruction surgery will be able to select silicone breast implants. The availability of silicone gel implants will create new options for women considering breast surgery for the first time and for those who have had previous surgeries but are seeking new replacements or revision.

Silicone breast implants offer several advantages over saline implants. They also have some disadvantages, so you and your surgeon should carefully weigh the pros and cons, if you are considering this option.

The major benefits of silicone breast implants are in the realm of a more natural look and feel. These implants are filled with silicone gel, which is softer and more natural (in the way it feels to the touch) than saline breast implants. They feel so soft and natural, that it is often impossible to discern them from natural breast tissue.

Rippling is far less likely to occur in women with silicone implants than in women with saline implants. This is because silicone gel is far more viscous (thicker) than saline, so it does not move or slosh, as saline can. Silicone implants can be placed over the muscle in women with little body fat or little breast tissue without the aesthetic concerns (rippling) associated with placing saline implants over the muscle in these women.

Using laser energy and light therapies, many patients are reaping the benefits that laser skin tightening has to offer. By taking advantage of the expanding field of lasers, many medical professionals have been able to provide excellent results to patients with skin firming goals and other medical and cosmetic needs. Laser technology has become widely popular among many cosmetic physicians due to the control that it often brings to treatments. Success and safety are often the two primary goals of each treatment, and by using lasers to administer some treatments, patients are often left with satisfying, minimally-invasive results.

Treatments such as laser liposuction often serve multiple purposes. Not only does this treatment help with the removal of unwanted pockets of localized fat deposits, but it also helps to tighten the skin by promoting the growth of new collagen. This often allows the skin to adapt effectively to the body’s new curves as the collagen is produced and the treated area heals.

Light energy is another effective tool that several physicians and cosmetic specialists find helpful in delivering favorable results. Refirme is one such procedure that utilizes light energy in helping patients rejuvenate and tighten their skin. By combining bipolar energy and light energy, this treatment reduces or eliminates many wrinkles, folds and lines. It also works to tighten skin and restore it to a youthful appearance.

The Titan Non-Surgical Facelift uses infrared light to bring results to patients. This treatment works over a period of time. While it may not offer immediate results, patients often receive favorable results about six months after beginning treatment. Skin Tyte also uses infrared light therapy to help patients achieve tighter, younger looking skin. Patients should inquire further about these laser skin tightening procedures before undergoing any treatment.

As the medical field continues to grow to include laser technology more abundantly, patients should be aware of the possible benefits that this treatment brings. By discussing laser skin tightening treatments with a skincare or medical professional, patients often walk away with a greater understanding and appreciation of laser technology and its benefits.

The best skincare clinics and medical spas are those that use the latest equipment and utilize the very best technology in delivering favorable results to patients. By choosing a clinic that is clean and a medical professional who is knowledgeable and experienced in the field, patients go a long way in ensuring their safety and the success of their treatment.

A new dimension of the medical field taking off in India is breast lift (mastopexy) surgery which utilises some of the latest techniques in corrective procedures. Some more cosmetic procedures include hair restoration (hair implants, hair flaps, and scalp reductions), rhinoplasties (reshaping or recontouring of the nose), stalling of the aging process (face lift, cosmetic eyelid surgery, brow lift, sub-metal lipectomy for double chin), dermabrasion (sanding of the face,) otoplasty for protruding ears, chin and cheek enlargement, lip reductions, various types of breast surgery and reconstruction and liposuction. But now foreigners are increasingly making a beeline in India for breast lift (mastopexy) surgery.

What is a breast lift?

Breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure which is commonly performed in men and in women to reshape sagging or drooping breasts and to give them a firm and youthful contour. Sagging breasts may result from losing a lot of weight too quickly, normal age related changes due to loss of elasticity, after multiple pregnancies and breast feeding. During the procedure for Breast Lift, the areola or the dark skin around the breasts is also reduced in size, and the nipple and areola are repositioned in relation to the new contour of the breast.

Who is a candidate for a breast lift?

The best candidates for a breast lift are those who are healthy, emotionally stable women who are realistic about the outcome of the surgery. The best results can usually be achieved in women with small, sagging breasts. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but the results may not last as long in heavy breasts.

How is the procedure performed for breast lifts?

Breast lift or mastopexy is usually performed in 1.5 – 3.5 hours depending on the amount of work involved. The most common procedure involves making an incision that follows the natural contour of the breast. The incision outlines the area from which breast skin will be removed and defines the new location for the nipple. When the excess skin has been removed, the nipple and areola are moved to the higher position. The skin surrounding the areola is then brought down and together to reshape the breast. Stitches are usually located around the areola, in a vertical line extending downwards from the nipple area, and along the lower crease of the breast.

The most sought-after services by foreigners are laser, Botox and fillers. Cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists say tourists in the age group of 20 to 30 years come for Rhinoplasty (nose job) and liposuction, while those between 30- 40 come to treat baggy eyelids. Those over 40 come for tummy tucks and face lifts. In fact, in the United States, cosmetic surgery is a luxury many middle-class Americans can’t afford. It’s also not covered by insurance. Americans are the biggest clients, followed by tourists from Eastern Europe, Far East and even Japan for breast lift (mastopexy) surgery in India.
