Liposuction – A Consumer’s Guide

March 29, 2010

Are you feeling down and out? Do you feel even worse when you look in the mirror? Cosmetic surgeons tell us you are not alone. They say the popularity of reality television shows like ABC TV’s “Extreme Makeover” has led to an increasing boom in cosmetic surgery. You may be one of the many people who are not happy with the way you look. Look in the mirror right now and tell me what you see. Do you see flabby thighs, a sagging chin or a tubby tummy? If so, then liposuction could be just what the doctor ordered.

What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is also known in the medical arena as lipoplasty or liposculture or “lipo” for short. Lipo surgically removes excess fat from deposits beneath the skin in many areas of the body. The procedure sounds like it hurts.

How Does It Work?
Surgeons use a hollow stainless steel tube called a cannula. The cannula is hooked up to a vacuum. It is inserted into an incision in the skin. Fat deposits are then gently sucked out of the body.

Does It Hurt?
“It didn’t hurt at all,” says 25-Year old Jenn Rogers. Rogers is the mother of three year old twins. She decided to have lipo to get her post baby abdomen back. She says, “I tried so hard through exercise and diet to do it. But, nothing I tried would work.”
Is It Popular And If It Is, Why?

Liposuction is quickly becoming one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery for that very reason. It targets the areas of fat we’d like to shoot away. It is commonly used to reduce fat in the abdomen, hips, butt, thighs, chin, neck, back, chest and arms. Can you believe that doctors also use lipo on the knees, ankles and calves? As you can see, liposuction will work on just about anywhere you see fat and want to hide it!

It sounds like it hurts, doesn’t it?

Well, the amount of pain depends on individual circumstances. Liposuction can be achieved painlessly by local or general anesthesia. However doctors consider liposuction a mild surgical procedure. It is performed using a general or local anesthesia. A heavy IV sedation is also used in some cases. Recent advances have done a lot to ease the pain. Doctors can now precisely target fat areas which help to reduce recovery times. Despite the recent popularity, lipo has actually been around for more than a decade.
“I had my first liposuction in 1992. It was before anyone even knew about it. I wanted to reduce the signs of aging in my face,” says retired school teacher, 69 Year Old Rebecca Long. The grandmother of three has had three additional procedures since then. She laughs, “People now confuse my daughter with being my sister. I don’t know if that’s good for her, or bad!”

How Do I Make A Decison?
You may be wondering whether liposuction is for you. Some folks figure if they have the greenbacks then they can do it. But, whether you have the money to pay for it is just one of the factors you should consider. It is important that a surgeon be board certified for the technique that they are going to use. You’ll want to look at his or her experience and safety record.

Are There Risks?
Liposuction is not risk free. There are many things that can go wrong. Complications can occur due to a poor judgment on the part of the doctor. The better educated you are on the procedure, the greater you chances of spotting a problem before it occurs. You should be concerned about disfiguring skin irregularities that can occur if the surgeon tries to take too much fat away in one procedure. The use of a large cannula can also affect the outcome of your procedure.

Large cannula’s remove fat quickly. However, they are more likely to lead to skin irregularities then small cannulas do. Small cannulas are less than 3 millimeters in diameter. There’s a strong chance you’ll need a large cannula depending on the amount of fat you need taken away.

Surgeons use the small cannula’s during the Tumescent Procedure. The American Medical Association says this technique when used with local anesthesia is the safest. Under this method, the diluted local anesthesia lasts for hours reducing the need for narcotic pain relief. Doctors say there have been no reported deaths under this procedure. In addition, even if it’s used with general anesthesia, Tumescent Procedure is safe if there’s no large fat removal.
There is another surgical method that utilizes a modified version of the Tumescent Procedure. This modified version combines local anesthesia with general anesthesia or IV sedation. General anesthesia and IV sedation may be dangerous when used alone, just imagine the danger when they’re put together. As a result, an anesthesiologist must be on hand to handle the administration.

You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t have any other surgical procedures the same day as your liposuction. You’ll want to avoid long term exposure to anesthesia because it’s dangerous. Taking away a large amount of fat can lead to serious complications. Also, removing an excessive amount from too many areas can also be dangerous. You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t have any other surgical procedures the same day as your liposuction. Healing can occur quickly thanks to all the advances in liposuction.

Liposuction recovery times are shorter today than a couple of decades ago. You can return to a normal lifestyle within four after surgery with most procedures. However, a little bit of local anesthetic remains in your system. It is later absorbed into the blood stream. Would you believe that draining the anesthetic solution out of your incision actually speeds your rate of healing? It also reduces swelling and bruising after surgery.

Drainage is also speeded up by leaving the incisions open instead of closing with sutures. Your surgeon can also make tiny holes in your skin to force drainage. Your surgeon may also encourage you to spandex clothes to promote more drainage. Your surgeon can also drain it through absorptive pads that are placed over your incisions. Despite the surgical concerns, liposuction is changing lives like Jenn and Rebecca’s. It can improve body posture and image ultimately leading to a happier, healthier, you.

Who Do I Contact To Find A Good Surgeon?

How To Turn Oily Skin Into Healthy Skin

March 27, 2010

Oily skin can be a headache; it can be embarrassing and physically uncomfortable. You may be wondering what you are doing that causes your skin to be so oily. Oily skin is genetic and was probably a gift from your ancestors adaptation to a hot, humid climate.

Stress and hormones play a part in oily skin as well. Of course, there may be things you are doing that worsen this condition, but rest assured, you did not cause it. However, you can control it. In all honesty having oily skin is actually a blessing in the long run, so control it for now and enjoy these benefits in the future: slower aging process, less discoloration (and freckling), and less burning.

Select cleansers carefully. Traditional care for oily skin tells people to use cleansers that strip the skin. Today, we know that stripping the skin does not help oily skin; rather it creates a vicious cycle because the skin ends up producing more oil to combat the lack of moisture caused by the excessive drying qualities of traditional treatment. Be warned, traditional products are still found on discount store shelves. You need a mild, organic cleanser that will cleanse the debris but not strip the oil.

Use warm water. Using hot water can cause excessive drying, again creating the cycle of oil production that we are trying to balance.

Forget the apple a day, and use a lemon instead. Squeeze the juice from a fresh organic lemon and apply to your face with a cotton ball, letting it sit for 3 minutes before your daily cleansing.

Witch Hazel makes a good astringent. It contains some alcohol, but not enough that it strips the skin. If you don’t care for the witch hazel, look for a mild organic toner. Soaking cotton balls in a mild astringent or witch hazel and carrying them in a sealed, airtight container for use when your skin feels too oily is better for your face than washing too frequently. You may that some mild organic astringents are sold in this form.

Masks: Use mud or clay masks for oil absorbency. Effects of mask treatments are temporary, but you may find that they are worthwhile for those special nights; temporary effects are generally lack oil surface oil and toned skin. Despite marketing hoopla, masks do not deep clean the skin, they simply cleanse away debris from the surface of the skin. If you have sensitive skin, look for masks that are lighter in color (the lighter the better for sensitivity) even though darker clay absorbs oil better. The darker clays can grievously aggravate sensitive skin, which would counteract the purpose of using a mask to temporarily make your skin look its best.

Make sure that your makeup is not oil based; for oily skin, you want to always use water based products. You can find products that camouflage oily skin by absorbing the excess oil, but they do not control oil production, no product can truly control it. To stabilize your oil production, you must concentrate on the above described care and establish a good schedule of skin care.

One product that will absorb oiliness throughout the day is cornstarch based baby powder. A light brushing of this with your makeup application will help camouflage oil during the day, how long depends on the extent of your skins oil production.

Drink your water! Sodas and other caffeinated beverages leech fluid from the body because caffeine is a diuretic. Since oily skin can be worsened by the skin trying to compensate for lack of moisture, keeping plenty of internal fluid is important.

Other than the need to keep well hydrated, studies have not shown any links between food and oily skin. Remember Mom telling you to stay away from chocolate to avoid zits? Well, she was wrong, although it is not her fault. It used to be believed that there was a link; this belief has since been proven wrong.

Learn to care for your oily skin to alleviate your daily irritation, but appreciate it for what it will do for you in the long haul. While other women may be getting (or considering) face lifts, you will be a shining example of aging gracefully.

How To Choose A Travel Agent You Won’t Regret

March 25, 2010

When it comes to making travel arrangements a travel agent can either make the process a dream or a nightmare. If you travel on a frequent basis finding a good travel agent that is reliable and trustworthy can be as important as a financial planner or a dentist. Here are a few tips to help you find a good one that won’t have you pulling your hair out while you are trying to plan a relaxing vacation.

One of the reasons for enlisting the services of is the fact that they can generally get better deals than the public due to the relationships they have formed with travel related companies such as airlines, hotels, and rental car companies. Their ability to get better deals is a great reason to use them but I like to use a travel agent just for the convenience. I can just call them up and tell them where I want to go and they will call me back with three or four choices to consider.

Like anything else, the key to finding a travel agent you can rely on is research. You can start out by asking friends and family for referrals of travel agents that they have enlisted the services of. Another excellent tool at your disposal of course, is the internet. With the internet you can find a list of agencies in your area and peruse their sites along with reviews and testimonials of their service. Look for forums and message boards where travelers talk about traveling and their experiences with travel agents. Even though everyone will have different opinions you can rest assured that a travel agent that gest good remarks from most people will be someone you can work with.

Another key indicator that can help in your search to find a good travel agent is whether they belong to the American Society of Travel Agents. The reason this is important is that allows the travel agents the ability to network with other members of the group such as cruise lines, airlines, hotels, and many other travel related companies. There are also certain minimum qualifications that must be met and maintained which means that the person involved will be more conscientious than one that is not a member.

It is perfectly right and acceptable for you to interview the prospective agent and ask questions of their qualifications and experience in order to make up your mind if they are the right agency for you and that they will be able to satisfy your travel needs. You should also ask them for references of clients who have used their services so you can get a third part’s take on them. By doing these things as you look for a travel agent it should help you to find one that will be good for you.

Things To Do In The Black Hills Of South Dakota: Beautiful Rushmore Cave

March 22, 2010

An ancient Black Hills treasure, buried beneath the earths surface is now yours to discover and explore, just a few miles east of Mount Rushmore. Here you will find Beautiful Rushmore Cave, where winding passageways lead you 60 million years back in time. Icicle-like stalactites hang from cavern ceilings, while spires of stalagmites rise from the smooth rock floor. Experienced cave guides escort you on your journey, past mysterious chambers, many of them still unexplored.

You never know where you might find a cave, and many are discovered by accident. Beautiful Rushmore Cave was discovered when adventurous gold miners were searching for their fortune stumbled upon the cave entrance instead. A guide can show you where this happened.

One of the most fascinating things about a cave is the beautiful formations that develop inside. In this cave these speleothems grow in many shapes and sizes. Some of them resemble familiar objects. Part of the fun is naming what you see in the rocks.

Beautiful Rushmore Cave was discovered by placer miners in 1976. The miners were digging a flume into the mountainside to carry water to the gold mines below when they found the cave opening. The cave was opened to the public in 1927, just before the carvings of Mt. Rushmore began. Since its opening, the cave has blossomed into a major attraction.

Not all Black Hills caves contain stalactites and stalagmites. This one has a ton of each. The cave is also a great retreat from the heat. If you go in the summer be ready for 80-100 degree weather. Inside the cave, the temperature stays around 58 degrees all year. Even on the busiest of days, you never have to wait long for the next tour. The cave is well lit, and you can easily see the fossils which are imbedded in the rock.

Tours last about one hour. But you can spend as long as you want in the gift shop.

The Cave is located in Keystone which is at the foot of Mt Rushmore. It is a great place to visit if you have never been to a cave before. Or unless you really get a kick out of things like this. Personally, I feel that if you have seen one stalactite, you have seen them all.

But when you are on vacation it is fun to do little things like visit caves. It only takes a couple hours, and it is a great way to get out of the heat.

How to Find Cheap Airfare Online

March 20, 2010

With the advent of Internet, the travel industry has developed from local travel agents to online travel reservation ability and travel arrangements a person can make on his own. There are so many airline companies that have moved their business on the Internet that sometimes it becomes difficult to decide which one is the best. Of course all of them have their own features and attributes, depending on the factors of cost, quality and ease of travel. If finding cheap airfare is the highest of your priorities then this article will help you in finding the cheapest airfare online without much trouble. We are going to give you some tips that will come handy when you log on to the Internet to buy yourself an inexpensive air ticket.

First of all keep in mind that not everything that is displayed on the Internet is actually true. People like to advertise a lot but sometimes it is just an advertisement and nothing comes out of it. Look around for authentic websites especially when you are purchasing something online and most of all purchasing at a low cost. Same goes with purchasing or booking airline tickets online. Second most important thing is to consider the time of your purchase. Many websites offer discount rates at night. This is because every night the airlines confirm their next flights and make available those seats that have not been paid for. They offer discount rates on these seats. Similarly, purchasing in a particular season is also sometimes cheap and affordable. Some companies give summer discount rates, others give winter discount rates. So you need to keep an eye on such offers.

Weekend airfare rates are often higher than weekdays. If you are planning to fly on a weekend then make sure you get on a cheaper flight because mostly Friday and Sunday flights are booked heavily and due to this they are much more expensive. Many websites offer discounts on air tickets just out of competition with other airlines. Mostly their discount rates depend on the destination location and they offer to save up to 80% of airfare. You can search for these websites and see what locations they have listed on their discount list.

Return tickets are definitely inexpensive than one-way tickets. Even if you are not sure of how long you are going to stay make reservations just in case. Many companies give you travel advice on when and how you should book flights. You can always call your online travel agent and change or cancel reservations. This will be a cheaper way of traveling instead of making last-minute reservations which sometimes become expensive depending on the circumstances. But again you need to be extra careful in this regard as well because some last-minute special offers have now been added to many airlines travel arrangements so that people may benefit from this inexpensive way of traveling. So do not book way in advance.

Air courier is another way of flying cheaper. Look around for websites that offer extremely inexpensive courier flights with only a small registration fee. If you travel a lot and have a lot of time to spare then this will be the best way to go. These flights can save up to 85% of your money and in some cases you can even travel for free!

Do not consider just one site for your flight reservations. Many airlines keep changing their airfare from time to time. People like to book their seats at least 3 weeks before their departure and in this time a lot of things can happen. Make two or three reservations and be ready for even last-minute reservations if everything else is too expensive for you. If you are lucky you can even get tickets at cheaper rates at the time of purchase. So be on the safe side, keep your fingers crossed and get ready for an inexpensive but memorable trip with your family!

Travel Safety Tips. Things To Consider When Travelling

March 12, 2010

Travelling is, indeed, one of the most indulging activities one could ever experience. People get to discover the most exciting beaches, the undiscovered taverns, and the virgin forests.

However, along with all of these great places are the risks of getting into trouble, especially if the person is not yet familiar of the new surroundings and environment.

Here’s a list of some safety tips that one can use when on travel.

1. Do the homework.

Like any kind of decisions people have to make, it is always important to know the area they will be visiting so as to familiarize themselves with the laws, locations of best tourist spots, and the kind of people they have to deal with.

Going to a place without having the slightest idea what it is all about is just as bad as going to the wilderness with beasts lurking everywhere and there’s no gadget to protect them.

2. Never travel alone.

Of course, there are times when people just want to be alone and unwind so as to shed off all of the hustle and bustle of urban living.

However, with the imminent danger lurking everywhere, it is better to travel with someone than to risk their lives travelling alone.

After all, people will never know what will happen next as soon as they arrive at their destinations, especially when it is their first time on the area.

3. Planning.

When travelling, it is extremely important to plan ahead. This will give the traveller enough time to decide on which things need to be on top priority and which should be considered at a later time.

Besides, when a person has enough time to plan things ahead, he or she will be able to think on things that will protect them when they are on travel already.

4. Always be prepared for emergencies.

It does not necessarily mean that people must be pessimistic on the way they plan their travels. It’s just that they have to consider any possible emergencies and be prepared for it.

As they say, an ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure.

5. Be aware of hotel accommodations.

It is best to choose hotels that are equipped with the best innovative safety equipment. This is to ensure that travellers will be safe once they are alone in their room.

So, whether a person is travelling for the first time or for the nth time, it is still best to keep in mind safety travelling tips such as these one so that the experience will always be a gratifying one.

Non Arrival Sparks Malta Cheap Flight Worry

March 4, 2010

A no-frills flight from London’s Luton Airport to Malta that didn’t depart on has set alarm bells ringing on the holiday island.

The flight operator claims no flight was scheduled, while one newspaper said they had a photograph showing a departure board with ‘cancelled’ next to the flight number.

The Malta tourist industry pushed for low cost airlines to be allowed to operate to the island in the hope of arresting the recent decline in visitor numbers, and agreement was reached with Ryanair, with the inaugural flight from Luton in November.

With a projected 80,000 to 100,000 extra tourists a year, the arrival of new flights to Malta has been warmly welcomed and seen by many as the saviour of the holidays and hotel industry, with a knock on effect for the property for sale industry to overseas buyers.

The exisiting carriers, including the national airline Air Malta, have responded with offers of their own, and the price of flying to Malta has come down significantly in the last few months.

But what looks like a cancelled flight due to a lack of passengers has sounded alarm bells.

‘The Malta hotels and holiday industry was looking forward to the year ahead with a sense of optimism’, comment a local travel guide, ‘The extra tourists being brought in by Ryanair is a major boost for the island’s economy. But if a flight has been cancelled just weeks after their service started we just have to hope that it’s not a sign for the future, and projected arrival numbers haven’t been wildly over estimated. Hopefully there wasn’t a flight scheduled at all rather than being cancelled.’
Cheaper Malta Flights

‘There is a possibility’, continue the guide, ‘That the introduction of the low cost airlines flying to Malta will merely delay the long term decline of the island’s tourist industry. Unless money is spent on the infrastructure and improving the environment for the tourists generally there is a danger that a lot of visitors will be one-off. If there’s a lesson to be learned in Malta that the government and her agencies have failed to grasp it is that sustainable tourism is built on repeat visitors. At the moment a lot of visitors from the UK see Malta as a one-off trip’.

As well as Ryanair, it was hoped that easyJet would also start services to Malta, but the latest reports are that talks have failed to produce an agreement. But brighter news has come from the island’s flag carrier Air Malta.

As well as at one stage selling two tickets a minute in a recent promotion the airline is starting a new service from Liverpool in April.

The property market will also be keeping a close eye on tourist numbers now that the new flights have been given the green light. If visitor numbers do drop in the medium term it could be good news for locals looking to buy their first property.

There has been some discontent on the island about the rising prices of property in Malta, and with less overseas buyers the possibility of prices falling and more islanders being able to get on the property ladder could be welcome news, as today’s tourist is often tomorrow’s property buyer.

But now that low cost airlines are offering cheaper flights, this could help the Malta hotels and holiday market as more people consider three and four day breaks instead of the traditional week or fortnight, boosting the overall number of visitors, especially if Air Malta and the low cost airlines bring the cost of Malta flights to levels seen for the Spanish islands.

Malta has traditionally seen the majority of her visitors from the UK, but this could be changing to a more diverse mix in future years.

Last year saw a record number of visitors from Italy, and increased enquiries have been received at estate agents across the island from Scandanvia, Holland, France and Belgium, helping to increase the demand for Malta property.
