Fat Injections could be Used Next For Breast Enhancement.

Written by admin on Feb 11th, 2009 | Filed under: Health

I just got back from San Diego and wanted to discuss the medical field for a  while: specifically Breast augmentation. There may be an alternate method for many females to chiee the self esteem boost of having firmer and bigger breasts that so many females have already been going to surgery to actually receive.  All in all, each day hundreds of females from around the globe choose to have the cosmetic procedure of having breast implants (also known as Breast augmentation).  However, is there yet another kind of procedure which these females can select by injecting their own fat?

As it turns out, many plastic surgeons have found that a females’s own fat may be used for injecting it into their breasts and it has been working quite well so far for touch-up procedures being performed after reconstructive breast surgery.  All in all, this specific technique has been used for several years now. If you happen to reside in San Diego and you need a great San Diego Breast augmentation surgeon then may I recommend Dr. Susan Kaweski as she is certainly one of the better San Diego Breast augmentation experts there is. Alright back to the story at hand: Now there are further studies that are in the planning stages to decide if this very same method of injecting fat into the breasts can in fact be used for complete breast augmentation.  These tests will however have to be completed before it can be proven as being an effective means of breast augmentation.  Up to this point these fat injections have only been used for limited areas of the breast to soften-up the appearance of these particular areas after augmentation surgery has already been performed.  These injections have also been used to help the damaged tissue in women who have received a lumpectomy and radiation procedures.  Breast augmentation has certainly come a long way.


Fish Oil and Stroke reduction

Written by admin on Apr 27th, 2008 | Filed under: Health

In these times of fast increasing rates of various lethal disorders like heart disease and stroke, individuals from all over the globe are searching for healthy alternatives to sharply reduce their chance for getting such a disorders. In the war against cholesterol and certain related risk factors for vascular disease, fish oil may in fact be your best option overall. Fish oil is particularly dense in the long chain omega-3 fatty acids dha and epa, for example.

What exactly is the cause of heart disease or stroke? There are really several risk variables that just add to the ever increasing occurrences of cardiovascular diseases. These particular risk factors or variables are generally anything which contributes to the damage of arteries and veins all over the body, and particularly the arteries of the heart. In order to fully realize just how these arteries are damaged you should know which injested items may cause this damage. One glaring factor which often contributes is cholesterol and fat, and most especially the low density lipoproteins that make their ways into our blood stream. Eventually, LDL and cholesterol will build up in the lumen of the arteries and close them off leading to an infarction or stroke depending on which artery is blocked. Since the average modern diet is usually chock full of fat and cholesterol, the majority of individuals are at substantial risk of getting some sort of artery disease over time. And this is where fish oil comes in.

Fish oil is extremely dense in the omega 3 fatty acids which include ALA, EPA, and DHA. They can actually counteract the effects of fat and cholesterol on the arteries. Many research studies have clearly shown that omega 3 fatty acids which are found most abundantly in fish oil actually lower the amount of triglycerides in the blood. On a steady diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids a person is protected to a large extent from the buildup of harmful fat and cholesterol within the blood. But the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids are not only protective and preventative. Other studies have found that a steady supplement of fish oil can actually break up fatty atherosclerotic buildup within damaged arteries. This means that in a person who is already suffering from atherosclerosis, fish oil may help reverse the effects of years of damage. This attribute alone makes fish oil the holy grail of health supplements considering our ever increasing levels of heart disease and stroke. It should also be noted that the best form of fish oil is of the high end, pharmaceutical grade variety. It takes about 100 gallons of health food grade fish oil to produce a single gallon of the pharmaceutical grade material.

If you would like to improve you memory and cardiovascular health, then you may want to look into a bottle of quality fish oil today. Make sure the oil is free of contaminants and pure. Fish oil is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, and could quite possibly save your heart as well as mind.

Nonetheless, it is always best to consult your physician before you start your fish oil supplements, especially if you are on some anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning drugs.
