Effects and duration of botox


Wrinkles begin to disappear between three and five days after the injection. In some cases may be minor bruising or burning in the area that received the Botox. This is of no gravity and will correct itself without recourse to any extra procedure.

The effects of Botox usually last three to five months. After several applications, the results can be longer, the effect reaches six to eight months. Furthermore, the lines no longer have the same depth after injecting this substance, as if the muscles remain relaxed, the lines are marked less and not increase with the passage of time.

The younger the patient being treated, the more obvious are the benefits (the technique begins to lose effectiveness in people over sixty years). This resource does not replace cosmetic surgery, but is a very good alternative for those who do not want to resort to surgery.

Botox details


• Originally approved, in 1989 - by the Department of Food and Drugs U.S. for ophthalmic use.

• As an inhibitor that reduces the contractile function of muscles, also helps calm involuntary spasms of the face and eyelids, fibromyalgia and neck pain and back pain.

• While it is a toxin, does not cause serious side effects because it is used in very small amounts that do not spread through the body but remain only in the muscle receiving the injection.

• It is a safe treatment and its effects are transient.

How does the skin botox


Above all remember that wrinkles are folds that form in the skin due to contraction of facial muscles. These expression lines appear because we repeat successively different gestures that contract the muscles of the region, causing the overlying skin loses firmness and wrinkle.

Injecting small doses of Botox with very fine needles, it manages to block the nerve impulse that reaches the affected area and prevent muscle contraction. As a result, the skin remains smooth and not marked lines and furrows.

It is important to note that injections do not affect or take away facial gestures naturally, just make the muscles remain relaxed and stretched skin.

Botox removes wrinkles in minutes without surgery


Botox is a drug that originally was used by ophthalmologists to treat disorders by blinking. It was later discovered that this therapeutic agent derived from Botulinum toxin type A, has other properties which can be exploited in the field of dermatology: to inject small doses of this substance in certain facial muscles, they relax and go well wrinkles caused by successive contractions of those muscles.

The most characteristic features are eliminated with this technique are:
• The horizontal creases of the forehead.
• The lines marked on the forehead (the two lines that appear between the eyebrows).
• The crow's feet, wrinkles that form around the eyes and the ends of the eyebrows.
• In some cases, is also injected into the neck to clear the lines of that area.

3 breasts surgeries according to your problem


While methods exist to maintain and enhance the beauty of the breasts are numerous, some women are not satisfied with the results. Either because their breasts are sagging, small or too large, millions of women around the world choose to leave the topic to the beauty of your bust in the hands of a surgeon.
These are the three most common surgeries:

• To enhance the breasts.
Is surgery with general anesthesia, in which stands the bust across the tissue is left in the bottom of the breast and it intersects with the skin. Thus, the area is tense and the bust is lifted. It is performed if significant laxity or to increase breast size.

• To reduce the breasts.
It is done in two cases: when a breast enlargement (breast big it operates only if the person you wish) or to a gigantomastia (yes or yes it must operate to avoid conditions such as cervical artrosisis produced by the great weight that must support the spine). Except in very young girls, the reduction is often accompanied by a rise. The amount of breast tissue that is removed between 300 and 500 grams in each breast.

• To lift the bust.
Most women who does this should do it because they suffered a great loss of weight in a short time which produced them, or because they have saggy breast fallen because of breastfeeding. Very often, the elevation is usually accompanied by an increase, with the placement of a prosthesis or a reduction. In both cases, the steps of the intervention are the same as followed in this type of operation.

What is it for cryosurgery

Cryosurgery of the cervix is a little traumatic and simple realization (by a trained specialist), which is precise and limited.

■ It should only be used for the treatment of those lesions of the cervix caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) or in very early in precancerous lesions minimum (also associated with viral infection).

■ Only by exception can be accepted as a treatment for other types of lesions, usually can be cured successfully with topical antibiotics and medicated.

■ It is extremely rare to have to repeat the same patient cryosurgery. Nor is it good to do, since in these cases, the epithelial cells lining the cervix that may impede scarring determine, for example, to achieve a pregnancy.

■ If you propose a uterine cervical cryosurgery asks A consultation with a specialist before agreeing to it.

Cosmetic surgery for stretch marks and cesarean

To completely eliminate vertical cesarean scars, you need a statement identical to the abdomen. However, if you only want to remove the collapse that occurs in some cases (grows fat on both sides of the court) was sutured into the muscle and becomes a scar smoother.

The striations are almost impossible to remove.
When it occurs, it breaks the deep layer of skin is covered by the surface layer that is transparent. To fix would be necessary to make a scar on each of them, similar to the streak. And as well there are usually many in the same area, the result would be a parallel series of small scars. The only really effective is to prevent them.

Cosmetic Surgery Breast

The volume of the chest increases rapidly during pregnancy, preparing for the hike in milk, and ends its growth in the period of lactation. There are no fixed rules but, in general, large breasts by themselves are more affected. Because, of course, makes the weight fall off.

But the real problem arises when the lactation. The mammary gland stops working, and then regress in size. If the skin-for lack of elasticity or hydration not be back to the same extent, the chest is bigger and if the woman has dropped a lot of accumulated fat. In some cases structural breast is very small, will become flaccid and empty: that is, only skin and nipple. Whatever the case, the solution is to intervene surgically. Breast reduction. The operation lasts about two hours. It removes excess fat and part of the mammary gland, and restoring the nipple in place. Do not cut the lines galactófogos, so if there is a new pregnancy, you can breastfeed without problems. Similarly, no sensitivity is lost.

And removal of prosthetic skin. It is one of the most laborious, comes to take up to three hours. Both breasts are equal and not the surgeon has to act like a tailor cutting more skin in one another, placing prosthesis of different size in each breast and testing the "seams" until they are as symmetrical as possible.

The prosthesis does not impede breastfeeding. A timeout. Before undergoing an operation for breast reduction or increase must be passed at least six months from the time when you stop to breastfeed. The reason for this wait is to allow the mammary gland recovers its actual volume and prevent it from any other milk.

Unless there are reasons to the contrary, surgeons discourage if these women thought to have more children, since the likelihood of skin damage is again very high. Breastfeeding does not harm.

Aesthetically breastfeeding does not benefit the chest, but not as bad as you think. Nor contributed to nothing unless there are cracks or some other problem that occurs more or less suck. The real danger lies in the chest to increase the volume and this is inevitable in pregnancy.

Deviation of the legs

The arched legs, genu in men, according to the medical terminology, are one of the reasons most often arise in the consultation of the orthopedist. In many cases the cause is a deficiency of vitamin D and calcium, or a symptom of rickets. The problem is corrected as soon as the small receives the necessary input of these nutrients.

At other times the legs because warp has taken the baby to walk before they were prepared to do so. These children, especially if they are chubby, they will have their legs twisted around the 14 or 16 months.
Less frequent than the two previous cases is that the deviation is caused by an alteration of the cartilage growth.

In this case, the bones of the legs grow more on one side than the other and often needed to correct with surgery but, sometimes, splinting or simply put a brace at night.

From the second year of life, to a greater or lesser degree, all children have the legs in the form of X (genu worth), that is, knees together and feet apart. In these cases, the orthopedist may prescribe some wedges in shoes that force the legs to straighten out.

Silicone prosthesis in the buttocks - Cosmetic surgery

Sculpted legs, buttocks up
The prosthesis of calves are of elongated shape, serve to enhance the area of the twins, and vozona get curvature of the calf, which resembles achieved with the physical exercise (cycling, steps).

In the same way, the prosthetic tail is shown to reaffirm the upper buttocks. These prostheses are fusiform and semi, but not rigid. Are indicated in those with congenital malformations, with injuries or simply fail to muscle this area despite the exercise.

In the case of twins, the operation consists of placing one or two implants between the twin muscle and skin incision, remains at the level of a fold of the back of the knee. In the case of the buttocks, the prosthesis is placed below the gluteus maximus muscle, so it goes unnoticed outside. The incision is made in the fold, between the two buttocks, the lowest possible.

Silicone implants - Cosmetic surgery

Bust: A classic
As for the prosthesis or breast implants, there are different materials, but the best known are those of silicones, which are specially designed to achieve optimal aesthetic quality and safety to the patient.

Are composed of a flexible silicone cover and filled with different materials, the most common silicone gel and saline. Each of the cushioning material has its advantages and disadvantages.

In the case of silicone gel-filled advantageous is the consistency of the silicon itself. In the case of the saline solution is advantageous safety offering this solution in case of leakage or rupture deck.

In augmentation surgery operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia, and basically consists of the placement of the implant in a "pocket" carved from the mammary gland and muscle, or below it. As for the incision, it can be in the areole, the groove submammary or armpit.

Prosthetic nose - Cosmetic surgery

Nose: a sensitive area
To increase the volume of the nose has to be used tissues or implants. There are silicone prosthesis or Porex, but it is not very appropriate, since unlike the area of the cheekbones, the nose there is little tissue to cover the stent and is very likely to be noticed.

To fix a flat nose, for example, the best solution is to use cartilage or bones of any area of the body and stems as appropriate.

This procedure presents a greater work of surgery, but has better results because it is also biologically better tolerated than a material external to the agency.

Prosthetic cheeks and chin - cosmetic surgery

Chin and cheekbones: inseparable
When correcting chin explores the profile of the patient, such as the projection of the nose, and often it is suggested, giving at the same time, higher volume to cheekbones, to achieve a more refined face with factions.

The application of artificial limbs, both cheeks and chin are more often in order to emphasize certain traits or correct certain asymmetries. The result is always a more youthful appearance and affirmed the face.

Solid implants are used prefabricated with the appropriate form for both cheekbones to chin. These can also be carved preoperatively if the factions of the patient as needed and the result is permanent. This type of solid silicone implants do not often bring problems and need no maintenance.

There are several ways to place them without the need for cuts or visible marks: the most common is through the mouth, making a cut between the lower lip and teeth.

Another way to put them, is making an incision in the lower part of the chin. But the latter, having an outside court, can be felt.

Prosthetics and feminine aesthetic surgery

Cheeks, chin, chest, tail, calves, lips and nose are some of the areas that can embellished with a prosthesis and the experience of a plastic surgeon.
The purpose of the prosthesis is correct, given the size or shape different parts of the body, occupying the space required to be thickened, or substitute, filling the lack of muscles or bones.

In the use and placement of prostheses, it is important to the wisdom of the surgeon, you need to know where is the limit. To do this, there are prosthetic implants or solid or semi-fluid. A few too thick lips are not only unsightly, but they acquire a very pale color.

In the case of very thin lips and little delineated, placing an implant in a cordoned flexible, allowing delineate and give volume at the same time, without drastically changing the face of the face.

Continuing with this example, there are many cases in which only need to use injectable implants only to give volume to the lips and in those cases where you want to achieve low volume, can be used to effect lasting injectable implant (hyaluronic acid Methacrylate), or injecting the patient's own fat, obtained from a lipoaspiración.

In the case of injectable materials, the procedure can be repeated again, if necessary.

Why are there bags on the eyes?

That is because unleashes in the lower eyelid are the lacrimal glands that at some point become FLAC and the fat located at the site loses tone.

Are exacerbated by smoking, stress, insomnia. You can mitigate with cold compresses of camomile tea, with creams for eyelids, lymphatic drainage. If they were too big, with plastic surgery.

Genitalia, easy remedies

Men tend to have, more often than the girls, problems in their genitals. The phimosis (inability to bring down completely the foreskin) is a normal until age that can vary between nine months and three years.

Only if it is charged (the foreskin is closed) is required circumcision, which can be made at any time during childhood, and it is very simple. If after birth, the testicles (which are formed in the abdomen during pregnancy) have not fallen to the bags of the scrotum, it is necessary that the child be seen by a urologist.

The disorder, known as cryptorchidism, is treated with hormones. In the event of did not get results with this therapy, it is necessary to resort to surgery before the child reaches six years.
The size too big for one or both testicles is a symptom of hydrocele.

It consists of an accumulation of fluid between the layers that surround the testicle, under the skin of the scrotum. Not badly, and often resolved only in the first few months. If after this date the hydrocele does not go away and change in size, it is likely that in the future, this fluid is removed. But without haste and without fear: the operation is easy, and the boy recovers soon.

The prostate and difficulties erect

Only in cases of prosthetic surgery for abdominal problems can be upright.
The prostate serves as a liquid to provide semen to sperm bathe and feed on it.

The most common problem for which they have consulted specialist doctors (urologists) is prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate acute or chronic), which is easy solution today thanks to treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory.

Another common problem is the benign prostate adenoma, which is an abnormal growth of cells within it, which can compress the urethra to hamper the output of urine and favoring his retention in the bladder.
If not treated properly, the bladder and urinary rest of the tree (ureters and kidneys) tend to widen with the ensuing problems.

Prevention
Moreover, the prostate tends to grow larger as the aging man: an enlarged experiencing more than twenty percent of men of about sixty years.
Yet it is not clear why it occurs but, given the inconvenience it brings and the possibility (not too often) that it is a malignant process, it is appropriate that all men older than fifty years undergo a precautionary examination annum.

It is important to identify and correct these problems early, and after that can cause severe urinary disorders. Its correct diagnosis requires a direct examination of the prostate (through the DRE) and studies of specific antibodies for this type of cancer (PSA).

Unfortunately, often tries to avoid this examination and consultation too late, by the fears and anxieties that awakens in men. So should urologist and patient pre-talk about the characteristics of this study to dispel any doubts.

Anyway, is very rare that the prostate produces sexual problems. Only if surgery prosthetic (prostactectomías abdominal) may have difficulties erect for injury to nerve sparing approach.

In addition, in all cases of surgery, both through penile as abdominal abnormalities may occur in ejaculation. This is retrograde ejaculation, which involves the removal of sperm into the bladder, because they can not leave driven forward.
Even in these cases, not lost the pleasurable sensations of the male orgasm.

The importance of the liver

In this organ of our body, was awarded more than 500 functions. Among many others, to store sugar and fat, the formation of antibodies, the elimination of toxins, digestion and absorption of fats and vitamins A, D, K and E.

Many hormones are processed in the liver, hence that when it fails it can cause alterations in the hormonal functions.

Moreover, cholesterol, from which they form the so-called "sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), needed when the liver was severely affected, causing thus disturbances in the menstrual cycle.

And that's not all: this is a body self-sufficient, being able to regenerate quickly. Even though much of its substance has been removed by surgery, in a few months the liver grows, standardizing its activity almost completely.

The fear to the anaesthesia in the surgeries

The fear to the anaesthesia or, to the operation in itself, they are logical and natural, but that you affect it the operative result. The psychological care is indispensable, provided you are about some class of mutilating surgery that the corporal aesthetics affects in ostensible form, or that you alter the life of relationship of the patient. The complexity of the care will depend, in good measure, of the sick person's psychological profile; in certain occasions the surgeon's support or of the anesthesist they will be enough. In more complex cases, the psychiatric query is indispensable.

The anesthesist has clear signs to evaluate the depth of the anaesthesia. The patient will be able to only wake up when you have him to him sedado in the path of an intervention with anaesthesia partially (peridural, spinal, local, etc.), case in which don't have it bigger importance. On the other hand, in the path of a general anesthesia, this is controlled to maintain it in good levels.

The partial anaesthesias have a limited duration that vary according to each case. If you prevé the possibility of a continuation during a peridural anaesthesia, a catheter can be left in the place of the punction and to maintain the analgesia adding new anaesthetic dose. The local anaesthesia can be prolonged in the time infiltrating the surgical area again. In all the cases, on the other hand, the effect can expand using the general anesthesia.

Not we will deny that yes cases exist, where the patient has been with sequels after an anaesthesia. But the cases of this nature are more and more strange. You are to keep in mind the patient's general state, the operation type to you carry out, the type of anaesthesia, the ability of the acting team and the infrastructure of the place where you are operated.

In any way it is necessary to highlight that the current anaesthesias are highly reliable and the complications are possible, but extremely exceptional.

To categorize an intervention like smaller, median or bigger, you are always relative and in any event, you are a problem that should worry more to the surgeon than to the patient. In this categorization they also intervene factors unaware to the importance of the operation in yes (you anesthetize, infrastructure, materials to use, prognoses, and other). Anyway, you are advisable that the surgeon and your team abstain from increasing the fears of the patients with worrying definitions.

We should also highlight that the physician should inform the patient the derivative risks of the operation, when the same ones will take place with surety for the intervention type to carry out or those more probable ones. But to inform of "all the risks" that possibly can appear, you are practically important.
