The Early Years: 1960s and 1970s
The history of breast implants essentially begins in the early 1960s. Before this, implants were extremely dangerous, could not promise satisfactory results and were sometimes provided to patients by non-medical physicians who were not qualified to perform the surgery. Breast enhancement was experimental and involved inserting sponges or injecting the breasts with paraffin or silicone.
In 1963, however, silicone gel-filled implants were introduced (saline-filled implants followed in 1965), providing the prototype for modern breast augmentation. In the 1970s many companies began to mass produce different breast implants and the technology behind implant creation continued to evolve. […]

THE TRUTH ABOUT 24 HOUR RECOVERY BREAST AUGMENTATIONWhy It’s unsafeIt’s impossible for you to undergo breast augmentation, a major surgical procedure, and fully recover within 24 hours. Your body’s natural healing processes don’t work that fast. If you accidentally cut your finger while cooking, does it heal by the next day? The cut may partially close over a bit […]

THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANESTHESIA
Complications related to anesthesia are very rare, however problems that could possibly arise can be significantly increased when the surgery is scheduled late in the afternoon, according to a study conducted by researchers at Duke University Medical Center Surgical. The study found that patients have fewer problems with anesthesia if their surgery is scheduled earlier on in the day. […]

Abdominoplasty, often called a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery procedure intended to tighten abdominal muscles and remove loose, excess skin. As a result, this procedure is frequently requested following childbirth as part of a ‘mommy makeover,’ or after significant weight loss, which can leave people with sagging, excess skin.

While a tummy tuck can be an excellent solution for individuals hoping to restore their waistline, unfortunately, in some instances, excess skin remains following the procedure. If you are […]
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a butt augmentation procedure that aims to enhance the shape and volume of the butt by injecting fat grafts from the patient into the buttocks. Since some of the fat transferred during the BBL will not survive in its new location, many patients think it is a good idea to gain additional weight before the procedure so that the transferred fat has a higher chance for survival. However, that is not the case; instead, it is advisable to maintain your weight prior to the procedure.
If you are at an ideal weight to be a […]
