Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat--usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision. However, it won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. While it can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift.

If you're considering eyelid surgery, this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't understand.

Blepharoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.

The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in their expectations. Most are 35 or older, but if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have eyelid surgery at a younger age.

A few medical conditions make blepharoplasty more risky. They include thyroid problems such as hypothyroidism and Graves' disease, dry eye or lack of sufficient tears, high blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. A detached retina or glaucoma is also reason for caution; check with your ophthalmologist before you have surgery.

Breast Enlargement Creams
Non-surgical breast enhancement and herbal breast enlargement products such as breast enlargement creams are a breast enlargement alternative for women who either don't want breast implants, cannot afford the surgery, do not want to take the risk, or simply have never even considered having cosmetic surgery. Breast enhancement creams serve much the same purpose as pills; claims made by the manufacturers of breast enhancement cream products state that individuals using the creams can increase breast size by several cup sizes. Some state that breast enhancement cream can help women achieve fuller breasts, with firmer tissue, allowing some users of breast enhancement creams to avoid breasts lifts or other surgical procedures to maintain a youthful appearance.

Breast enhancement creams are becoming the focus of a lot of attention, and is also the subject of much contention and controversy amongst the medical community. Does it work? Here's what the FDA scientists tell us: "For decades, millions of dollars have been spent on devices, creams, and lotions advertised as breast developers, all wasted. There is no device or system of exercise that will increase the size of the breasts. At best, devices promoted as breast developers merely strengthen and develop the muscles that support the breasts, and exercising these muscles will not really increase breast size."

Make an informed decision - Contact a plastic surgeon in your area to determine if breast enlargement cream is good for you or see if you are a candidate for breast augmentation with breast implants.
