Bra Tips to Avoid Sagging Breasts


One biggest problem every woman has is about her breasts. Of course, whether there’s actually nothing need to be worried about their breasts or not, women are always curious about the way their breasts look. One of the problems about breasts is sagging breasts. Sagging breasts is undoubtedly a natural problem; sooner or later, as a woman ages, she will have her breasts sagged. But, there are tips to avoid having sagging breasts for young women by only using a supportive and right bra size for your breasts.

Avoid Sagging Breasts

  1. Choose A Supportive Bra

Beyond any kinds of plastic surgery or natural technique to fix your breasts appearance, always consider choosing a supportive bra. Go to local bra store in department store, specialty shop, or anything else. You can try to ask the employer staff about which bras are fit your breasts because these staffs are experienced and knowledgeable about both good fashion and a wide selection of brands. Or you can also contact a professional bra fitter in a beauty shop. There, you can have your body measured. Some lingerie stores make this service available at their shops for free. At last, if you shy asking about bras and breasts to unknown people, you can always ask your female friends, relatives, or even your mother. Have a company to the lingerie stores so you can have advices about choosing a supportive bra for your perfect breasts.
  1. Know Many Size of Bras

Bras with wide back strap are preferrable, because it supports more space for your breasts. These bras include those with 3 until 6 hooks. Don’t opt for a one-hook bra because it doesn’t support large breasts. If you want to pick some lacy bras, you can choose those lacy and colorful bras with larger sizes. Today, many bra and lingerie companies produce bra with larger size. If you notice that you have larger breasts, always choose larger sized bras. These bras won’t make your breasts sagged. Or, if you are a sporty woman and you also want to avoid having sagging breasts because of your activity, you can choose sporty bras. Choosing supportive sporty bras, especially for women with large breasts, is sometimes a little bit tricky. You can go online or look at the catalogs to find the one that suits your breasts.
  1. Wear Your Bra Correctly

Now that you have found the supportive and correct-sized bras for your perfect breasts, you have to wear them correctly so that you can avoid sagging breasts. First, you need to make sure that the back straps are hooked correctly. Avoid having it twisted or moved, because sometimes after washing and ironing, bras are curled up. Oh, yes, laundering bras is another important thing. Always have them air-dried instead of drying them dried using a dryer. It will make them last longer.

Back to how to wear bra correctly. After hooking the straps, lean forward to make sure that your breasts are perfectly located at the center. One tips: always make sure your nipple line is on the same level with the middle part of your arm. If it is not, check again.
  1. Health is Number One

Okay, this is maybe not related to bra sizes. Health is always the number one thing to consider about every part of your body, including your breasts. Sagging breasts, for example, can be avoided (or even reduced) by giving massage to your breasts at least three until five times in a week. Why? Because massaging your breasts will let free any stuck fluid and blood flow within your breasts tissue. You can also use some natural massage oil (or massage oil that is made specially for breasts-massage) to make your breasts relax during massaging.

Consulting to doctor and physician is also recommended. Mostly, doctor will suggest you to do a weight loss plan, because larger-breasts women often accumulate fat within their breasts tissue (although some other women may store their fat in the hips, abdomen, or any other parts of their bodies). Once you are in a diet plan, always keep in plan. Avoid inconsistent diet plan because it is way more damaging than consistent weight gain or loss program.
  1. Always Use Bra

I mean, don’t use cloths without using bra. Avoid being braless. Sagging breasts are mostly and naturally caused by gravity, and going out braless will loose your breasts without any hanger. Finally, gravity will “stretch” your breasts tissue. But, in the other hand, using bra more than 12 hours in a day is medically risky. Research reports that using bra for more than half of a day may increase the risk of having breast cancer. It is because bras make your breasts tight, and finally prevent the blood within the breast tissue to flow regularly.

Virginity Repair Surgery



These day, virginity repair or restoration surgery, or medically termed as hymenoplasty, becomes quite popular among women. There are many websites on the internet, like revirgination.net, that offer many benefits and ease to this vagina plastic surgery. Many of them come with reasons, such as to make their boyfriend or husband happy with the sexual intercourse they have, and so on. Virginity repair surgery or hymenoplasty (or sometimes called as hymenorrhaphy) today is undergone by women from old to young and from many different countries and rages.

BBC interviews a surgeon that is able to perform hymenoplasty. Dr. Abecassis, the surgeon, recalls that in a week, he could perform two or three hymenoplasties. The patients vary from all kind of social backgrounds, but most of them are young women with age about 23-27. Mostly, their reasons are about the need of virginity before getting married with their boyfriends because virginity becomes an important thing based on their traditions or family cultures. Dr. Abecassis admits that he never judges whether certain patient really has to undergo the surgery or not; he just does his task. For the record, Dr. Abecassis is one of very few Arab surgeons who want to talk openly about it.

For Dr. Abecassis, vagina repair surgery is both a mere medical plastic surgery and a taboo reinforcement. But for his patients, hymenoplasty is surely the only option—that makes them happy. Hymenoplasty is proven to be low risk, but still it is quite expensive. The high cost of the surgery sometimes make another non-medical procedure become an interesting alternative. BBC reported that there is a website that markets Chinese-made artificial hymens for only £20 or about 23 euors. It is created with elastic plastic and filled with fake blood, so once it it inserted in the vaginas, after the first penetration the woman can drip blood out of her vagina just to simulate virginity. The problem with this is that many married couple will agree the wrong definition about hymen and virginity—that somehow, torn hymen is not always caused by sexual penetration premarriage.

This is proven in an interview to a young man, who admitted that although the society accepts that virginity is not in tact in making decision before marriage, he refused to marry such a woman with lack of virginity.
A website called NewHymen.dk gives a more arguable explanation about this situation. It suggests that women do not have to feel that hymenoplasty is the only option available to repair their torn hymen. This website was created and run by a woman who admits as “a nurse, a social worker, and a professional educator”. It gives several explanations that are against the old formula and taboo like using chicken livers due to the infection whatsoever. It even suggests the readers to ask for some pill prescription to doctor—or if the readers are currently consuming the pill, it suggests them to plan their period to match the first night after marriage. This is a little bit pragmatic, actually, but it comprehends the gap between the feeling of guilty that women had and the reasonable solution to fight it.

That being said, an alternative—a heart-pleasing alternative—to young women is already available with the presence of these kinds of sites. There is an available solution to deal with their past and heal the wound and fear about family culture or men’s perception. The good thing from these websites is, like in a forum where a member—a young woman—wrote about what she feels about this virginity problem, they provide solution to see that hymenoplasty is not the only choice.

Hymenoplasty (Revirginisation procedure)


Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty is the term to refer a vagina plastic surgery that aims to repair broken hymen inside a woman’s vagina. Many patient do this surgery as a form of virginity repair and most of them do it some days before wedding. The point of hymenoplasty is to pierce together the tear of the hymen. But, before hymen reconstruction is performed, surgeons have to approximate if the hymenal remnants inside the vagina are sufficient to be repaired. If not, surgeons may consider using sompe part of vaginal flap. It then creates a vascular band across the introitus. Of course, patient will be put under anesthetic just like normal surgery. It is short because it only takes about one or two hours.

Hymenoplasty is no doubt a virginity repair surgery. Many cultural, religious, or social norms are against this surgery because they believe hymen is not a proof of virginity. Therefore, hymenoplasty is just mere to make the patient looks virginal, not bring back her virginity like in the first place. But, there are also other social or family values that insist of having the bride’s vagina bleeding after the first penetration in the first night after wedding. Whatever reasons of the patient to undergo a hymenoplasty, hymenoplasty is a medically safe surgery as long as each procedures are done carefully.

All women can be patients of hymenoplasty. Whether their hymens were torn due to premarital sexual intercourse or just unintentionally torn because of some accidents, hymenoplasty can be performed. However, there is only one condition that disallow women to do hymenoplasty. That is if she suffered from some venereal disease.
Several reasons of a woman performing hymenoplasty, are:
  • As a woman ages, the vagina muscles get loose and elongated. Some women do not want to be in this condition. Therefore, some of them prefer having hymenoplasty to deal with this aging problem.
  • Hymen is actually one reason that makes your sexual activity with your partner becomes more satisfying. Maybe you and your partner want to enjoy a coitus just like when you were a virgin? Here, hymenoplasty gives a solution.
  • Just like previously said, some women had their hymens torn not because of sexual penetration. Instead, they had it because of sexual abuse, rape, or other accidents. Hymenoplasty can heal the wound of these accidents so that everything would be back as if they weren’t happened.
  • Re-marriage is also another cause of hymenoplasty. Some cultures insist a widow to perform hymenoplasty before she remarriages to another man, because they believe that virginity only belongs to the husband.
The advantages of hymenoplasty? Of course, the patient’s hymen will be tighten up just like a virgin. But what is it for? Hymen can give a more pleasure sensation to a woman during sexual intercourse. She will feel fuller inside her vagina and she has a bigger probability to have orgasm. Moreover, hymenoplasty is performed in relatively short time (and the recovery time is also short).

After undergoing this virginity repair surgery, a woman must take care of herself. This includes a slight change in her lifestyle. She has to make sure that no outer accident happened and tore her hymen, except after sexual intercourse. She musts keep her vagina clean. Remember, although the recovery time of hymenoplasty is relatively short, always wait for some reasonable time before doing sexual activity. It is to make sure that the wound after surgery is completely healed. Avoid hardworking or lifting heavy things for about a week after hymenoplasty because hymen is prone to be torn again because of the pressure within the vagina.

Breastfeeding Using Implant Breasts

Breastfeeding Function

Breastfeeding Using Implant BreastsBreasts are basically a milk-producing glands which are used to feed babies. There is a nipple in an aerola area (or called nipple areola complex—NAC), with varying colors from pink to dark brown. Within this gland, breast milk is produced by lactiferous ducts and distributed throughout the breast. For every breast, there are four until eighteen lactiferous ducts ending to the nipple. The comparison of glands to fat within the breasts tissue is 2 to 1—in lactating women—or 1 to 1—in non-lactating women. Thre are more than just glands inside a woman’s breasts; there are collagen, elastin, fat, and ligaments. There are also nerve system in breasts, where the anterior and lateral branches of the fourth, fifth, and sixth nerves are located. Thoraric spinal nerve 4 or T4 in breasts also supplies a specific sensation to the nipple area.



The most important concerns about breastfeeding is in the potential of digestive contamination and toxicity. If the filler of breast implant device is leaked to the breast milk, it will endanger the baby. Substances contained in a breast implant filler is chemically and biologically inert, because they were made of environmentally common substances like salt water (for the saline filler)—although silicone in the filler is unable to be digested. Besides, experts have said that whatever the reasons, there shouldnot be any contraindication for breastfeeding by women with implanted breasts. In the beginning of the use of breast implant (at early 1990s), perhaps there are many non-technical complains from patients and doctors about possible complications from the implant device. Yet, there is no disease casuality related to the device.

Augmented Breasts

Meanwhile, women with implanted breasts are still able to feed babies using their breasts. But, this implant devices may give a kind of difficulties. Mammoplasty surgery, which includes a periareolar incisions and subglandular replacement, is the main cause of this difficulties. Moreover, other difficulties are about the potential damage of lactiferous ducts and the nerves around the nipple area.

If the surgeon cut the ducts and any major nerves within the breast tissue or if the glands are damaged somehow, possible difficulties risk arises. The first is common to surgical procedures that involve periareolar incision implantation because it cuts breast tissue close to the nipple. In the other hand, other implantation incisions like inframmamory fold, trans-axillary breast augmentation, or trans-umbilical breast augmentation, avoid this step. However, if the patient is serious about the possibilities of this breastfeeding difficulties, she can ask the doctor to make effective the incision step so that the damage of the milk ducts and nerves can be reduced. Basically, only implants that are placed under the gland (or called subglandular implants) and implants for large-sized breast that mostly affect the milk glands. Implantation for small size breasts and for submuscle gives less risk of breastfeeding function problems.

Breast Implant Surgical Procedures


Breast implantation, or medically termed as mammoplasty, is a procedure to implant a breast implant device within the breast tissue. There are three purposes of this breast surgery: (1) reconstruction, if the breast tissues were damaged by trauma, disease, or other accidents; (2) revision, to fix up the result of other breast surgeries performed previously; (3) cosmetic purposes, to give the breasts an aesthetically better look.
Breast implant

Five Kinds of Incisions

Breast implant emplacement is performed with five (5) types of surgical incisions:
There are five kinds of surgical incisions in this breast surgery:
  • Inframammary. This is the incision created around the infra-mammary fold (IMF). This incision will give maximum access to most areas within the breast tissues. Because of that, this incision is usually made if the surgeons want to do an emplacement of the silicone-gel breast implants. However, this incision leaves a thicker, more visible scars onto the breast skin.
  • Periareolar. This is the incision created in a border line of the areola. This incision will give a better depth-look into the breast tissue right if inframammary incisions need to be adjusted in certain ways. This incision is also necessary to be created if the surgery includes a breast lift (mastopexy). Unlike the inframammary incision, periareolar incision does not enable surgeons to emplace silicone gel implants due to the small size of the incision. Lucky that this incision is less visible than the inframammary incision because it is located around the areola’s border.
  • Transaxillary. This is the incision created in the armpit (axilla). This incision will create a dissection tunnels from where surgeons can emplace the implants. The emplacement can be done both bluntly or with the help of video microcamera, and therefore produces less or even no scars on the breast skin. However, this incision is less acurate in positioning the implant device. That’s why, transaxillary incision in mammoplasty is mostly revised with an inframammary or periareolar incision.
  • Transumbilical. This is the incision created at the navel. This incision is actually less common because it creates a dissection tunnels upwards from the bust. It is also so much trickier to position the breast implant device more accurately, although it creates less or even no scars. Transumbilical incision is not suitable to placing silicone gel implants within the breast tissue because of its inaccuracy nature. Moreover, silicone gel implants cannot be inserted through an incision this small because they are more incompressible.
  • Transabdominal. This is mostly similar to transumbilical incision. This incision creates tunnels from the abdominal incision to the implant tissue. Mostly, an abdominoplasty is undergone simultaneously with this incision.

Breast Implant Emplacement

By definition, breast implant emplacement is a cross-sectional plan of two different implantantions: subglandular breast prosthesis implantation and submuscular breast prosthesis implantations. There are four different procedures can be apply to perform a breast implant emplacement to the implant pocket within the breast tissue.
  • Subglandular. The emplacement is done onto the retromammary area, which is located between the gland and the pectoralis muscle. This emplacement method gives the most good-looking results. However, subglandular position often shows up some ripples and wrinkles, especially in patients with thin pectoral tissue size. This emplacement procedure also gives higher rate of capsular contracture incidence.
  • Subfascial. The emplacement is done under the fascia of the pectoralis muscle. Actually, subfascial emplacement is a variation from subglandular position. This emplacement method is still under debate, because some surgeons said that this emplacement method gives a more vast coverage of implantation and better position sustainability, while other surgeons were against this opinion.
  • Subpectoral. This emplacement is done under the pectoralis muscle. Because this emplacement can only be done after the surgeon wears off the attachments from the inferior muscle, the upper part of the implant is put under the pectoralis muscle while the lower part is in the subglandular area. Although in some patients the possibility of the implants moving from its initial position is a bit higher, subpectoral emplacement cover the maximum area of the implant and allows the lower part of the implant to be expanded.
  • Submuscular. This emplacement is done under the pectoralis muscle, similar to subpectoral emplacement. But, submuscular emplacement does not require the surgeons to wear off the attachments of the inferior muscle. Coverage of this emplacement method can be reached maximally by wearing off the lateral muscle from the chest (the serratus muscle, the pectoralis minor muscle, or the two). In most breast surgery, submuscular emplacement method gives the best result to the breast implants.

Post-surgical recovery

Scars from breast augmentation surgery usually appear 6 weeks after the surgery. It then fades in several months. However, patients can go back to their normal daily life just in a week after surgery as long as they do not do hard physical activities. However, longer recovery time can happen for patients of submuscular placement breast augmentation. These patients can only be back to their daily activities after more than 6 weeks. This is because the incisions of the chest muscles takes longer period to be healed. During this recovery time, it is recommended for the patient to do some light exercises on their arms. These arm exercises are good to let go the pain within the breast tissue. Sometimes, analgesic medication catheters are used to alleviate the pain. Some other advanced techniques of breast implantation enables the patient to recover a lot faster. About 95 percent of women undergoing these techniques can resume their normal lifestyle just in 24 hours with barely any helps of bandages, catheters, and other medical devices.

10 Worst Plastic Surgery Disasters


While plastic surgery is supposed to fix someone’s appearance, these are ten worst plastic surgery ever happened in history.

Hang Mioku

Hang Mioku

Hang Mioku is an example of plastic surgery gone wrong. She is a 48-year-old woman living in South Korea. She began undergoing her first plastic surgery when she was 28 years old and became so addicted to it eversince. Many plastic surgeries have been done, resulting on her face is no longer recognizable by her surroundings. Her face became larger and deformed, and surgeons did not want to perform any more plastic surgeries on her. Moreover, surgeons said that her addiction to plastic surgery is because of some kind of psychological disorder. Knowing that not any surgeons wanted to re-fix her face, she ended up “performing it by herself” by injecting cooking oil into her face. It didn’t take long for her becoming a nation-wide news-maker as she was featured on television. Fortunately, many people took pity on her and sent in some money and donations for her undergoin some more plastic surgeries to fix her outlook. As surgeons want to handle this job, several sessions of plastic surgery are done, removing 60 grams of unknown substance from her face and 200 grams from her neck. Her face became significantly back to normal size, but scars were still left and hard to be repaired.

Jocelyn Wildenstein

Jocelyn Wildenstein Plastic Surgery

She might have been recorded as a woman who spent the highest amount of money to have cosmetic plastic surgery—and making it a plastic surgery disaster. She spent approximately US$ 4 million over several years. Before making her nickname, “The Bride of Wildenstein”, Jocelyn was actually a pretty woman, a nice-looking mom of two children, and a wife of a rich art dealer. But, things gone wrong after she caught her husband cheated on her by having an affair with a Russian model. Instead of divorcing her husband, she came up with an idea to get her husband back to her by making over her appearance—by doing plastic surgery. However, not only that the plastic surgery gone wrong, she was also left by her husband.

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson Plastic Surgery

I think we all have known what plastic surgery disaster that Michael Jackson had. More than ten times nose surgeries made him so much different, at least compared to how he looked in the 70s. Rumor said that he had also some kind of psychological disorder due to his addiction to celebrity plastic surgery.

Pete Burns

Pete Burns Plastic Surgery

Dead or Alive, the British band that is famous for their song “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)”, had its frontman enter the world of celebrity plastic surgery. Pete Burns, then a former member of the band, had many polyacrylamide injections to his lips, followed by some other plastic surgery procedures like cheek implant, nose reshaping, and tattoos. He admitted that in just eighteen month of plastic reconstructive surgery (that gone wrong), he wiped out his lifetime savings.

Dennis Avner

Dennis Avner Cat Man

Different from others who undergo a plastic surgery to fix their appearance, Dennis Avner has undergone an extensive plastic surgery to make he looks like his animal: a tiger. Transdermal implants (to wear whiskers), tattoos, subdermal impants (to reshape his face), and teeth reshaping made him look so much similar to tiger. There he got his nickname, “The Catman”.

Eric Sprague

Eric Sprague Lizard man

This one is also ridiculous. Eric Sprague was known as the Lizardman after he underwent a plastic surgery that splits his tongue just like a reptile. Born in 1972, Eric has made himself beyond everyone’s imagination by impersonating reptile so closely via plastic surgeries. He had done 700 hours of tattooing, 5 Teflon horns implantation under his eyebrows, a teeth reshaping to make his teeth looks like sharp fangs, a split tongue, and a stretch on his earlobes.

Donatella Versace

Donatella Versace Plastic Surgery

Dontalla Versace is not only known as the sister of Gianni Versace—the owner of Versace, one of the biggest fashion brands in the world—but also by her significant change after her undergoin a plastic surgery that gone wrong. Nose reshaping, which was supposed to make her nose looks smaller, eventually enlarged her nose after several years. It turned to be wide, flat, and crooked. Besides her nose, her large lips—that was made after a celebrity plastic surgery—showed that she might have been using collagen. She might also have undergone facelift, seen from her firm skin. Perhaps, she might also have had Botox to decrease her wrinkles. Breast implants? Might be; it could be seen from her weight loss.

Jackie Stallone

Jackie Stallone Plastic Surgery

Jackie Stallone was famous because of several reasons. First, she was the mother of actor Silvester Stallone. Second, she claimed that she can predict the future by having a discussion with dogs and open up a hotline that gave advices for the callers. Third, she had several celebrity plastic surgery on almost every part of her face—face lift, eye brow lift, cheek implant, nose surgery, and lip surgery.

Amanda Lepore

Amanda Lepore Plastic Surgery

Countless surgeries had not only make Amanda Lepore, once known as Armand Lepore, have different appearance, but also put her on the top list of world’s most famous transexuals. Her first plastic surgery was when she was 15 years old, and in the last year of her high school, she had her sex reassignment surgery to change her from male into female.

Michaela Romanini

Michaela Romanini Plastic Surgery

She is a famous Italian socialite. Just as many other cases of plastic surgery that gone wrong, she was abused with lip collagen when she was 40 years old before undergoing several more plastic surgeries that end up as just plastic surgery disasters.

Surgical Procedures of Mastopexy


Surgical Procedures of Mastopexy

Mastopexy for Women

Before performing a mastopexy, surgeons will see if the woman who wants to do this breast-lift surgery comprehends the medical benefits and risks of the procedure. She needs to understand that there are certain body images that can be and cannot be achieved from mastopexy. Some of the indications before running a mastopexy are sagging breasts, post-explantation ptosis, congenital ptosis and pseudoptosis, and acquired or relative ptosis,

For the sagging breast

Mastopexy of the sagging breasts are inquired for both full breast- and modified breast-lift. This technique can only be performed to the surgical incisions to the skin envelope of the breast, not the parenchyma (or the inner substance of the breast).

For a full breast lift, the sagging breasts are lifted under circumvertical and horizontal incision from the Anchor mastopexy. This includes three kinds of incisions: (1) the Anchor ring, an circle-shaped incision on the upper part of the nipple-areola complex; (2) the Anchor shank, a vertical incision from the lower part of the nipple area until the inframammary incision; (3) the Anchor stock, a horizontal incision around the inframammary or around the joint between breast and chest.

In cutting the folds of excess skin from the sagging, inelastic skin-envelope of the breast (and occasionally reducing the nipple-areola complex diameter), the three-incision technique of the Anchor mastopexy allows maximal corrections to the breasts, thereby producing an elevated bust with breasts of natural size, look, and feel. Moreover, each of the three scars to the breast hemisphere produced by the Anchor-pattern mastopexy has a characteristic healing pattern:

To cut the excess skin created from this process (which acquires the sagging skin envelope of the breast, sometimes includes the nipple area diameter), these three kinds of incision permit some maximum corrections of the breasts. Then, it produces an elevated breasts with natural size and appearance. And removing the scars on the breasts due to the mastopexy process requires a skin pigment transition from light to dark skin color—light skin for the breast and dark skin for the areola skin. This is performed for scars around the periareolar area. Meanwhile, for scars on the medial vertical around the nipple areola complex to the inframammary fold or horizontal scars around it, there is no concealing needed because the scars are hidden by the shadow of the breast.

Post-surgically, of the three breast-lift surgery scars, the scar to the inframammary fold exhibits the greatest tendency to hypertrophy, to thickness and large size. Although the coloration of mastopexy scars fades with the full maturation of the tissues, they do remain visible.

In mastopexy for modified breast lift, it takes smaller number of cuts and scars. However, it does not allow the surgeon to make more changes to the skin envelope of the breast. In most occurences, modified breast lift is regarded as a sub-ordinate surgery under a mastopexy for breast augmentation surgery. Sometimes it is also included after lifting and enlarging breast surgery. Some variations of incisions in the modified breast lift are:
  • periareolar lift, with a crescent shaped incision above and at some part of the nipple area, will cut and remove the crescent flesh so that the transposition of the nipple will be a bit higher compared to the breast;
  • circumareolar lift, with a cut on the concentric ring flesh around the nipple area, will prohibit the size of the circle-shaped scar to be maximum;
  • circumvertical lift, with a circumareolar incision around the circle of nipple area and a vertical incision starting from the lower part of the nipple until the inframammary fold.

For the augmented breast

Breast augmentation is sometimes followed by a high potential of breast ptosis. Breast ptosis may be created by stresses—both mechanically and physically—from the implanted breast to the tissue and skin envelope. The overstrecthing thins of the skins may result in the stresses. But, however, based on statistic, breast augmentation and mastopexy come with low medical risks, although the risks may increase of the two are performed altogether and as a combination. The risks can increase the potential of infection of the incision, exposure to the implanted breast, breast and nipple nerves damage, and deformity of nipple and breast implant. The reason of this risk is that breast augmentation and mastopexy, when performed as a combination, may increase the surgical complication level—at least compared to if each is performed separately. Technologies still make several advancement to enable the simultaneous procedure of breast augmentation and mastopexy with a lower risk and medical complication. This advancement, named SAM—stands for simultaneous augmentation mastopexy, includes invaginating and tacking the tissue as the first step. It enables surgeon to previsualize the final result of the surgery before creating any kinds of incision to the breast.

Contraindications

Although most mastopexies are safe, there are certain contraindications appear in some surgical process. These contraindications include aspirin, tobacco smoking, diabetes, and obesity. Surgeon evaluates the fit of a woman who wants to undego a breast lift procedure after explantation, especially for woman with encapsulated breast implants. This facilitates assessment of the real level of ptosis exists in the explanted breasts. Moreover, for women with a high risk of breast cancer development (both primary or recurrent), histologic architecture of the breasts may be altered after mastopexy. Changes of tissue may be interfered with detailed MRI detection and treatment of cancer. In this case, the risks and benefits of doing a mastopexy will be discussed by the surgeon specifically.

10 Natural Breast Development for Women


Increase Breast SizeMore than just providing nutrition for babies, breast for women has become an important thing to increase her appearance and sexiness. That is why women often want to try some ways to increase their breast size. Some sees a surgeon and perform a breast enlargement surgery, some other consume certain medicines or pills to get the same result. While breast size development is medically possible, only a few of them know that there are many natural breast development technique they can try for increasing their breast size.

Breast Massage

This technique comes from old Taoist massage exercise. Rub your palms together to heat them up and locate them right on each breast. Then, massage them in a circular and downward line. Repeat it for about 15 minutes, twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening). You can also use massage oil from almond, olive, or geranium to perform this technique. The massage will increases the blood flow in your breasts, allowing more phytoestrogen to come into the blood flow and stimulate the growth receptors to work. Some said that after a month full of performing this technique, there will be a significant change seen.

Palm Pushing

Put your two palms on your breasts and push towards your chest, as if you are praying. Count one to five, then relax. Repeat this technique ten times. This technique looks simple, but beyond, it helps your breast muscles to be strong and firmer. There is no limited schedule to perform this technique; you can do it whenever you want.

Push-Up

While you think that push-ups is an exercise for arm muscles, few knows that it also a good exercise for pectoral muscles, That is the muscle that will give a look to your breasts as if they are firmer and larger. Well, you know how to push-ups, don’t you? But here is how a good push-up is supposed to be. Lie face down on the floor. Put your feet and palms apart flat on the floor, and keep your back straight. Now, push yourself up and down while keeping your body straight.

Chair Grip

This technique needs to be performed using a chair with arm rests. It require you to put your arms on the rest and your bady straight. Grip your arms on the chair and push your body up away the chair. Hold for about five seconds, then relax. One set of this technique requires 10 until 15 times grip, and you require 10 set everyday to increase breast size.

Yoga and Pilates

Yoga and pilates give power to your body from within. Both affect your main muscular areas that connected directly to your breasts. That is why yoga and pilates are good to strengthen your breast tissue and muscles, which finally increase your breasts size.

Meals

Protein in your body will help you increasing muscle mass. Chicken is a good source of protein. It will help your breasts grow not only by increasing muscle mass, but also by nourishing them with estrogen. Another good meal for your breasts is fenugreek sprouts, which also contains estrogen. You can also try flax, pumpkin seed, sunflower seeds, and anise.

Dong Quai Plant

Ever heard of “dong quai” plant? This plant is rare actually, but some said that it is effective to increase breast size naturally. There are still some medical arguments about this plant.

Gaining Weight

Smaller breasts are usually the problem of thin women, not fat women. So, if you are thin, why don’t you consider a new healthy diet to gain more weight? Gaining weight does not always affect your body entirely, but it will give your breasts a better look.

New Bras

Sometimes it is not your breast that does not look good, it is your bra! Are you really sure that you wear the perfect bra size? Try to re-decide your bra size that suits perfectly with your breast size. Measure the increase of your breast size every six months, and if there are any changes, consider buying some new bras.

Bravo for Brava

Food and Drug Administration has approved Bravo for Brava Enhancement System as a natural development to increase breast size. One cup size of Bravo for Brava will support your breasts with two domes and slight tension, which will give a sensation of pull-and-stretch to your breast tissue.

Surgical otoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape damaged ears so that they will appear back as normal, without any evidences or indications that they have been medically changed. After performing a surgical otoplasty, a person’s ear should be normal viewed from front perspective (the helical rim should be clearly visible), rear perspective (the helical rim is straight), and side perspective (the contours of the ear should be soft, not sharp). The perfect timing to undergo a surgical otoplasty depends on how is the ear deformity. For example, kids with pointy ears can perform a surgical otoplasty on age 4 or more. General anaesthesia is required before performing surgical otoplasty.

Ear reconstruction

The general procedure of surgical otoplasty is collecting a costal cartilage graft from the rib cage of the patient and sculpting it into the auricular framework placed under the temporary skin on the head of the patient. The skin envelope will then encompass the cartilage framework, or the ear prosthesis. After that, the surgeon will create an outer ear shape called pinna based on natural proportions and appearance of normal ears. It takes some months to perform a follow-up surgery, in which the surgeon starts to create the earlobe and put the now reconstructed pinna off the side of the head. It then reforms into a small round projection placed next to the external entrance of the ear, called a tragus.
Under certain circumstances which do not allow this general procedure to be performed (like when there is not enough cartilage to be collected), a technique called Antia Buch helical advancement may be applied. First, the surgeon creates a design of an incision inside the helical rim and around the shank of the helix, using ink. The skin and the cartilage are then cut without piercing the rear skin behind the ear. Then, let the helical rim suture and remove the graft of skin from behind the ear.

Indications

There are many indications of ear deformity necessary to be treated with surgical otoplasty. The right method of surgical otoplasty depends on which indications of ear deformity appear:
  • Cagot ear: Ear without an earlobe, commonly caused by genetic. Mostly found in northern Spain and western France, among Cagot people.
  • Cat’s ear: Outer edges of the ears folded away from the head sides towards the face, just like a cat’s ear.
  • Cauliflower ear: Ear deformity caused by repetitive injuries to the tissues, making the blood in the ear to have the tendency to be cartilaginous, making the ear looks like a cauliflower. Mostly happens to boxers and wrestlers.
  • Cleft earlobe: An indentation or notch on the fleshy part of the ear lobe.
  • Constricted ear: An ear deformity where, in the most damaged case, makes the shank of the helix to go out of the concha. Some other case includes the shank to be advanced into the helical rim.
  • Cryptotia: The rim of the helix cartilage in ear buried under the skin of the head, making the ear looks a little bit hidden.
  • Darwinian ear: An ear deformity in which the conchal bowl of the ear is flat, not folded inwards. It derives from the name of Britis biologist and evolutionary theoretician, Charles Darwin.
  • Lop ear: An ear deformity characterized by a too-small cartilage stiffened rim of the ear and a large depression near the ear opening part. This overall characteristic makes the ears look like a cup.
  • Macrotia: Ears whose size proportion is significantly bigger than the person’s head.
  • Microtia: The opposite of macrotia; ears whose size proportion is significantly smaller than the person’s head. It is because either a mild underdevelopment or an absence of the outer ear.
  • Question Mark Ear: This is a rare ear deformity. It is characterized by an indentation between the earlobe and the outer cartilage rim of the external ear.
  • Scroll ear: A congenital ear deformity in which the outer part of the ear curled down, up, and back against the head.
  • Skin cancer and malignant melanoma: Melanoma appears on the ear. In this case, the Antia-Buch surgical otoplasty technique may be applied.
  • Stahl’s ear deformity: Ear looks pointed rather than rounded, and the skin and the cartilage of the ear folded abnormally, making the ear looks like an elf.
  • Wildermuth’s ear: Ear with the curved cartilage border face backwards, deformint he ear by protruding the inner ridge of the ear. This indication found by Hermann A. Wildermuth and thus named after him.

Definiton of Sex Reassignment Surgery


Sex Reassignment Surgery

Sex reassignment surgery, or also known as gender reassignment surgery, sex affirmation surgery, sex realignment surgery, genital reconstruction surgery, or sex change operation, is a medical procedures to change the existing sexual characteristics from physical appearance and function of a person into opposite sex. Sex reassignment surgery is sometimes undergone to treat people with gender identity disorder, transsexual or transgender people, and intersex people (mostly in infancy). The people who undergone a sex reassignment surgery are usually addressed as transsexual, meaning literally as “person who change his or her sexual characteristics”. Trans women are former men who perform specific sex reassignment surgery to change male to female sexual characteristics, while trans men are former women who perform specific sex reassignment surgery to change female to male sexual characteristics.

Definition

Although people mostly imagine a sex reassignment surgery as a procedure to reshape the genitals of a person, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) has included larger scope to the procedures defined as sex reassignment surgery. Some of these medical procedures are chest and breast reconstruction or augmentation, genital reconstruction, and certain facial plastic reconstruction. This larger definiton also includes some medically non-surgical procedures like facial electrolysis.
To protect patients with gender identity disorder who needs to perform sex reassignment procedure, the American Medical Association House of Delegates declared that the denial to these patients is a form of discrimination and supported public and private health insurance to cover sex reassignment surgery as a treatment recommended by physician. This statements are also issued by other organizations like American Psychological Association and the National Association of Social Workers.

Male to Female or Female to Male Sex Change Difference

Male to female sex reassignment procedure for trans women is different with female to male for trans men. Sex reassignment procedure for trans women includes medical construction of a vagina, facial feminization surgery, and breast augmentation. For trans men, besides medical construction of a penis, several other procedures like mastectomy (breast removal procedure) and hysterectomy or male chest reconstruction are necessary. But, in both cases, sex surgery also includes several necessary ancilliary procedures like orchiectomy or vaginectomy.

In trans women, medical advancement has made it possible to childbearing, by using a donor uterus from other natural women that is strong enought to carry an infant without having any implication from the anti-rejection drugs. A DNA transfer is also possible by removing DNA from the donated ovum to be replaced by the DNA of the receiver.

Health Considerations

Not all people could undergo a sex reassignment surgery. There are several health considerations to pass before performing the surgery. For example, the patient with HIV or hepatitis C may find it difficult to do a sex reassignment surgery. Many surgeons avoid these kinds of patient due to the safety problem. Although some medical experts agree that avoiding patients with HIV or hepatitis C to undergo a sex reassignment surgery is a form of discrimination, the patients themselves are willing to pay higher fees in order to recruit a surgeon to perform the surgery safely.

Not only HIV and hepatitis C, other health conditions like diabetes, abnormal blood clotting, and obesity must be considered by the patient. Obese patient, for example, is suggested to lose weight before performing surgery. Meanwhile, smoking patient is suggested to quit before and after surgery. This is necessary to avoid any problems after the surgeons.

Standards of Care

While sex reassignment surgery sometimes feels so difficult to be performed due to financial difficulties or minimum experienced surgeons, a document called Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People becomes a guidance or a governance by some individuals who wants to perform the surgeries. With an increasing number of surgeons in this field in many regions, Standard of Care is widely spread and sometimes revised by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. The Standard of Care is also becomes a guidance by many countries, including the United States, to treat transsexualism. Standard of Care includes a period of full time life as a member of the target sex before performing the sex reassignment surgery.

Beside that, Standards of Care lists several minimum requirements as guidelines for treating transsexualism. Some of these requirements is accessing hormone replacement from the opposite sex and other surgical interventions. Here then comes the controversy. Many countries do not follow the right Standards of Care, some of them insert their local standards of care in it, like Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. Some European Standards of Care are even based on older versions of the standards. That makes some standards are stricted than other standards, mostly the latest revision of Standards of Care. However, in the United States, many professional sex reassignment surgeons apply the Standards of Care in a more flexible term, regarding to how the patient’s condition is, as long as it is consistent to the Standards.

Surgeons require at least one suggestion from an experienced mental health professional who works in diagnosing sex identity disorder for a patient more than a year. This suggestion is compulsory because it becomes a sign that sex reassignment surgery is the one and only treatment to be performed. Moreover, many medical professionals and associations stated that no surgical interventions are required during performing the sex reassignment surgery procedures. But, laws in many countries are still unable to list transsexual and transgender people as the opposite sex in the public records, except if they attach a testimonial letter from a physician or medical experts that said that the sex reassignment surgery has been undergone. Several strict countries do not even allow any kind of sex change, even after sex reassignment surgery has been performed.

Estimating the Salary of A Plastic Surgeon


Plastic surgeon is a person who specializes in reconstructing human body. Human body reconstruction is often performed under patients with disfigurements or displaced body parts or under normal patients who want to improve their appearance.

Meanwhile, regionally, the salary of plastic surgeons also varies. Plastic surgeons in the Great Lake states are the most prosperous, with median annual salaries of $339,500 per 2011. Mid-Atlantics plastic surgeons are the second most prosperous, with annual salaries of $335,000. In North Central states, plastic surgeons are paid $297,500 annually in average, while in South Central, they were paid $290,000 per year. Southeast and Northeast plastic surgeons are paid with similar amount of dollar, $265,000 per year, while in the Northwest and Southwest, plastic surgeons gain about $250,000 per year. This data is gathered by Medscape.

Data by Practice Field

By practice field, Medscape reported a similar variation of salary of plastic surgeons. Plastic surgeons who work for private practices received the lowest annual salary, which is about $250,000, per 2011. Those who work as partners in private practices, in opposite, receive the highest annual salary, which is about $400,000. Similar amount of salary is also gained by plastic surgeons who work as independent contractors. Plastic surgeons who work for academic institutions and hospitas have median income about $270,000 annually, while those who practice in multispecialty field received about $500,000 per year.
Miscellanous Information

With those fantastic salary statistic gained by plastic surgeons, Medscape reported other considerations from this condition. Approximately 38 percent of plastic surgeons who work in private practice are pleased enough with the salary they received. Meanwhile, 82 percent of all plastic surgeons agree that they would choose similar medical specialty. This is twice as higher than the other 41 percent who would cross to other medical specialty.

From all this statistical data, we may have concluded that plastic surgeons is one of the best medical profession not only by salary but also by job satisfaction.

6 Tips How To Measure Bra Size


Tips Measuring Your Bra SizeApproximately, 4 out of 5 women use wrong bra size for their breasts. Some wear larger bras, some other wear smaller-cupped bras. Women are easily tricked by the average bra size sold in the market. They only know that bra size consists of a number and a letter: the number represents the size of the band, and the letter represents the size of the cup. They don’t know that the number-letter combination is actually a fixed proportion between the cup size and the band size. I mean, the cup size of 32D bra is not the same size as the cup of 34D. In fact, 32D is wholly proportional to 36B or 34C. Think of it like a frame.

Besides, many women don’t know how to choose the correct bra for their breast size. Slimmer women should use a larger cup size, but larger women should use a smaller band size. Some women on diet also put this correct-bra-size-for-breast-size thingy. Gaining and losing weight also affects your breast size and, eventually, your bra size. Why do you consider resizing your clothing but not consider resizing your bra size?

Here are 6 bra size tips for your perfect breast.

1. Measure your band size

Use a tape measure all around your body just under your breasts. See the measurement in inches. Make sure you put your arms down. If it shows an odd number, try both bras below and above the number (i.e, 31 inches means you should try bra size 30 or 32). If it is an even number, then it’s okay. Don’t follow any advices to add four or five inches to the measurement because it is way too outdated and does not work modern bra size.

2. Decide your bra cup size

Every woman knows that breast sizes are different, but not many of them know that breast shapes are different too. Use your current bra size as a starting point to get the perfect cup size you need. Since cup size is relative to the band size, you shouldn’t use the same cup size with a smaller band size. Add one size to the cup size. For example, if you wear 34D bra but you measure your 28 inches all around your body, you should choose 28E or 28F. Don’t use 28D because it will be too tight. Follow UK cup sizing as a guide: AA, A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J, JJ, K, KK, L, and LL.

3. Now try it

You have measure your band size and choose your cup size. Now you try it. Is it the perfect bra size? Remember, don’t only pick one. Try several bras. Lengthen the shoulder traps and put your arms through them. Lean slightly forward so your breasts perfectly fall into the cups. Try to fasten the bra on the largest set of hooks and eyes, and if it feels too tight, release it and do it again on the smaller hooks and eyes. Wiggle the underwires side to side. Locate your breasts perfectly towards the centre of the cup.

4. Check your band size

The perfect breasts bra size is the smallest size you feel comfortable to wear. The important thing is, you have to be able to move your fingers inside the band tightly. Moreover, you should also be able to put your fist right where the hooks and eyes of the bra meet. Feeling like that the bra size is too tight? Don’t worry. In fact, bra is designed to fit like this. But, if you feel that it is way so tight that it hurts you, try to choose bigger cup size not bigger band size. If it still doesn’t work, then try to increase your band size and lower your cup size. In the opposite, if you feel that the band size you choose is too loose, you could straight using a larger band size. Remember: every time you use a larger band size, you have to choos the smaller cup size.

5. Check again the cup size

The perfect bra size is the one whose cup size is filled perfectly with your breasts. It doesn’t create any bulging in the front or the sides. Check the underwire and make sure the underwires are placed on your ribs. If they are not, then you should choose a larger cup size. Perfect cup size is important for perfect breasts, because it will hurt your armpit and back. If the underwires are so tight that it hurts your breastbone, you should opt for a smaller cup size. Otherwise, if you think the cup is too small (or if you are not sure with it), try bigger cup size. Smaller size usually fits better, so give it two or three trials.

6. See how it looks

Now you found your perfect bra size for your perfect breasts. See it on the mirror. Do you like the style? You can choose another style you like. Choose the right color so that the color of your bra won’t be seen through the shirt you use. After seeing yourself on the mirror, you should see that your bustline is placed on the right level. If it isn’t, then it actually is not a well-fit bra. Then, you need to repeat previous steps to find the perfect bra size for your breast.

Sex Change Plastic Surgery


sex reassignment surgery

Sex change, or sometimes called sex reassignment therapy, is a medical procedure to change sex from male to female or female to male under a genitalia surgery or any other sexual reassignment surgeries. Sex change is usually undergone by transgender people or intersexual people, specifically children. The larger definition of sex change is scoping not only the medical procedures associated with it, but also the whole process of changing roles and responsibilities in life. This affects the life of the person undergone the procedures, since it gives impact to the surrounding and people around him or her. That is why, confirming sex change as just a medical procedure to change sex is an inaccurate approach because it ignores the social and legal impact.

Human sex change

In fact, sex change is more specifically defined as sex change in humans. This refers to sex reassignment surgery that people may undergo in certain conditions. However, many people see “sex change” or “sex reassignment procedure” from an inaccurate definition. Biologically, human sex is determined by four factors: chromosomes, gonads (ovaries or testicles), hormonal status, and primary or secondary sex characteristics. In a sex reassignment procedure to make a male to female or female to male, not all those four factors can be changed. Chromosome is the main thing that cannot be changed because it is inherited. Ovaries or testicles can be removed, but cannot be replaced one to another. Hormonal status is dynamically changed. Only primary or secondary sex characteristics can be changed, but it is only until a certain boundaries.
By this condition, changing a male genitalia into a perfect and excellent female genitalia with a good function is complicated but still possible. However, changing female genital anatomy into a functioning, good male genital anatomy is also complicated, but hardly succesful.
Before undergoing a sex reassignment surgery, the patient must be under a period of feminization or masculinization, regarding to what gender he or she wants to be. This is commonly two years before the sex reassignment surgery, just like what is ruled by the Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People. In this period, some synthetic or natural hormones like estrogens, androgens, progesterons, and antiandrogens are used. Counselling is also compulsory to start the body changing hormones. In this counselling, a period of full days living in the target gender for at least six months is also accomplished.

Natural sex change in humans

Not only via sex reassignment surgery, sex change in humans also happened naturally. Some specific medical conditions can result to sex change. This is can be seen after a long period of a lifetime. So, a human who is born and appears of one sex can transforms into the other sex after a long period. Female to male sex change is mostly happened in this natural sex change, because of either 5-alpha-reductase deficiency (5alpha-RD-2) or 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (17beta-HSD-3). Meanwhile, male to female sex change is a rare occurence and still can not be understood well by experts.
Genetic females (with two X chromosomes) with congenital adrenal hyperplasia lack an enzyme needed by the adrenal gland to make the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Without these hormones, the body produces more androgen, a type of male sex hormone. This causes male characteristics to appear early (or inappropriately).

The lack of certain enzymes can also cause in a natural sex change, although not an obvious one (but only by appearance). Females (with two X chromosomes) with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (or lack of enzyme for the adrenal gland to produce hormones cortisol and aldosterone) can show male characteristics and appearance early and inappropriately because the body will produce more androgen, which is a type of male sex hormone. In the other hand, males (with one X and one Y chromosome) with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is not sensitive to androgen. It results to the person showing an entire or partial characterisitic of a woman. AIS sometimes include other diseases like Reifenstein syndrome which cause men to develop breast on their chest.

Thus a glimpse of sex change, may be useful to you please share on facebook or twitter so that your friends also know about it.

Celebrity Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong


It is widely known that in order to always appear young and nice, actors and actresses often do some celebrity plastic surgeries onto certain parts of their bodies. The surgery is not a hard task for plastic surgeons, but still in some pretty bad luck, the celebrities may have experienced bad result from the surgeries they had. Celebrities listed below is maybe only ten from so many others who had their plastic surgery gone wrong.

Tara Reid

Tara Reid plastic surgery gone wrong
Tara Reid is probably known for her acting in American Pie as a high-schooler named Vicky. But, after having a liposuction and breast implantation in 2004, she may not look as a young sweetheart as she was used to be. The procedure went wrong, as her breast leaves scars and her belly looks ripply and bulgy—just like what she said in an interview to The View. It is not what she really expected at the first place. Fortunately, she did a reconstructive plastic surgery in 2006 and everything came back on track. Public knew that it went well after in 2009 she posed for Playboy, showing off her reconstructive surgery result.

Donatella Versace

Donatella Versace plastic surgery gone wrong
It is not the first plastic surgery that Donatella—best known as the vice president of high quality fashion trademark Versace—had since the 1990s; it’s the umpteenth. But she never feels good with the result of every surgery she had. She once did a plastic surgery procedure to her nose as well as her lips, but this swollen spot always appears every time she had a surgery. No real photographs or proofs have ever been published to media, but it is obvious that she has never been satisfied by the surgeries.

Jocelyn Wildenstein

plastic surgery gone wrong
Plastic surgery is, of course, costy. And Jocelyn Wildenstein—now an active socialite living in New York—knows it very well. In 1997, or right before she ended her 20-year marriage, she had her first plastic surgery. Media reports that she spent approximately $4 million for the surgery specialized to facial plastic surgery, including cheeks implants and facelifts. Not only then she was well-known as the “Bride of Wildenstein” for the result of the surgery she had, but also a “cat woman” mockery thrown at her. It is because, now that she has tauter face shape, she appears more like a cat.

Kelly Bensimon

plastic surgery gone wrong
Media attacked Kelly Bensimon, or the true housewives of New York, in 2008 because of her misshapen breasts, the result of some celebrity plastic surgery she had. Harper’s Bazaar knows her mostly as a former model and an “ambassador for wool”—which is more to be a rumour rather than a fact—but now public and law enforcer knows her more as a woman with a screwed-up things of copyright infringement and domestic violence. And she also had no chance to do any reconstructive surgeries suggested for her better appearance.

Jennifer Grey

plastic surgery gone wrong
This is the proof of how the appearance of an actress could make a big impact to her career. Jennifer Grey was used to be the darling of romance film makers, but her different outlook—after doing some plastic surgeries including a rhinoplasty, whose results are actually not pretty bad—just eventually casted her out of the big screen and relocate her to television flicks.


La Toya Jackson

celebrity plastic surgery
Of course we know that she is the member of the Jackson family, and we also know how screwed up his relationship with Michael Jackson was, but a thing that rumor has: that plastic surgery is perhaps something inherited from the family. La Toya may have undergone some plastic surgeries to her chin, cheek, and pointy nose—just like any other members of the family have. And like the family itself, we like to call it the real celebrity plastic surgery (that gone wrong)

Tori Spelling

celebrity plastic surgery gone wrong
Beside facial plastic surgery, breast deformation is another kind of plastic surgery that many celebrities—especially woman—have done at least once. Not to mention Tori Spelling, the star of Beverly Hills, 90210. It becomes news when media attacked her for her misshapen breast—including an obvious chest depression—but she refused to admit. She sued her doctor because the plastic surgery gone wrong, actually, and denied any rumors saying that she underwent a breast augmentation. But, in 2008, finally she admitted two things to Entertainment Weekly: (1) that she did some prosedures to “had her boobs done” in her 20-or-so; (2) that she did what every woman in Hollywood did.

Lara Flynn Boyle

Lara Flynn Boyleplastic surgery gone wrong
No one has a clear information what the 39-year-old star of the long-running The Practice, Lara Flynn Boyle, has done to her face, but some photographs from the paparazzi make a speculation that Lara has udergone some celebrity plastic surgery onto her cheek. She smiles differently since. A worse speculation said that she did an upper lip implant, too, but out of all the facts, she apparently looks different in 2008’s Law & Order.


Scott "Carrot Top" Thompson

plastic surgery gone wrong
If you are to make such a top celebrity plastic surgery mishaps, Scott Thompson is absolutely the one that you can’t miss. Anthony Youn, MD, a plastic surgery expert as well as a blogger, said that this comedia may have done a series of plastic surgery (that gone wrong), including eyebrow life, Botox injections, lip plumping, and laser peels. The instant disappearance of freckles on his face and his sudden muscular posture (probably as effect of steroids use) is an obvious proof.

Mickey Rourke

 plastic surgeries gone wrong
Mickey Rourke has never been appeared so differently before. The star of The Wrestler as well as a retired boxer, Mickey Rourke makes public confused with his awkwardly reshapen appearance after some plastic surgeries gone wrong, including a facelift (obviously seen from the scars next to his ears), an eye lift, and some hair transplantation—which experts said has the “ability” to continously moving forward along his hairline.
