Palm Plastic Surgery in Japan

I just saw this and had to let you guys know!  Plastic surgery has officially reached new heights, LOL.  This is for real, people in Japan are now attempting to change their fate with palm plastic surgery.  Isn't that crazy?

Japanese people doing this are asking plastic surgeons to extend or create lines in their hands that people believe tell the story of how their lives will go, how long they will live, etc...  The article says that the cost is only about $1,000 converted to Japanese Yen though.

And don't mistake this for hand surgery because it is not.  It is simply cosmetic lines being created or enhanced in the palm for "hand reading," etc...  all in the name of luck.

The surgeon performing these procedures when asked himself said, "If people think they'll be lucky, sometimes they become lucky,"  "and it's not like the palm lines are really written in stone - they're basically wrinkles."

What do you guys think?

Understanding Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are bio-compatible material used for facial aesthetic treatments and are injected into the skin to smooth facial wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead and to enhance lips. Dermal fillers in Nashville can be used to revitalize and add volume to the skin, instantly reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines with a natural look. The result of a single treatment can be seen almost instantly and can last between 6 to 9 months. 

Each year a growing number of plastic surgeons and dermatologists in Nashville are offering to patients advanced non-invasive techniques using a mix of dermal fillers to gently lift and contour facial features. These new types of cosmetic procedures, frequently named Liquid Facelift, are becoming a popular alternative for the traditional surgical facelift. 

A wide range of dermal fillers are available to patients looking to slow down the aging process without undergoing surgery. Broadly, dermal fillers can be divided into 4 basic categories: autologous fat, collagens, hyaluronic acid, and synthetic. There is no ideal filler, nor can a single filler meet every patient’s expectations and wishes.

The most common dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite, some of them are made from the patient’s own skin cells, and others work stimulating collagen production gradually over time to renew volume and fullness.

Patients, who want to skip this complexity of human fat, can opt for the synthetic fillers. Several options of synthetic fillers are available which include collagen, hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite and polylactic acid. Collagen and hyaluronic acid are natural compounds also found in a human body, which makes them the most commonly used synthetic dermal fillers.

The procedure is relatively safe and although it can occur side-effects and complications are rare. Topical anesthetic cream or local anesthetic via injection may be used for patient’s comfort. Some products are already mixed with lidocaine, this serves as mild local anesthetic making the treatment more comfortable.  The injections take a matter of minutes and in most cases patients can return to their normal routine immediately. Treated areas remains soft and liquid can be felt inside the area for a few days. Patients are instructed for protecting the area of filling from any external pressure as it may change the position of filling.

It is important for the patient to know that dermal fillers are quick-fix but at the same time temporary. The fillers get absorbed by the body over time and the patient may require to have another filling to maintain the same look.

Help Stop Illegal Cosmetic Surgery

I just totally flaked on this blog, AND I'M SORRY FOR THAT!!!  I really wanted to try and keep up with this thing but life just got in the way i guess.  Anyway i won't bore you with the mundane stuff about why i have been busy lately... (unless you really wanna know?)

The reason why I came back to post was due to amount of illegal cosmetic surgery that still goes on here in this country.  If you are going to do any type of plastic surgery, please, please, PLEASE go with a New Jersey board certified plastic surgeon.

I saw a headline in the New Jersey Herald today about a poor lady who tried to get a butt implant or buttock lift or something like that from someone who was not a doctor and ended up dying from it.

Apparently the silicone like substance that this non-doctor, non-plastic surgeon injected into her butt caused severe blood clots in her lungs... and when you get blood clots it's very serious.  Especially if you get blood clots in your lungs it's almost for sure that you will probably die from it.

Sad, sad, sad event that could have easily been avoided.  Just say no to illegal plastic surgery and no to non-licensed medical people.  It's just not worth it.

Boobs and Hearts in NJ

Sounds like the name of a cheesy Jersey love song, huh?  Boobs and hearts.  Well it's not.  When researching breast augmentation you will come across a tidbit of information that inexplicably links the breasts with your heart health.

Wouldn't that be something if getting big boobs was actually good for your heart and vigorous exercise was not?  I'm not going to specifically say that because, hey i'm no doctor but i did come across an article describing how exercise can cause heart damage.  Yeah!  So now no reason to continue exercising, right?  WRONG! You don't want to be fat do you?

Anyway back to the point.  Healthy boobs can help your heart health, it's a fact.  So there's another reason in favor of getting big ta ta's ;-)

Other Plastic Surgery Procedures You May Be Interested In

Ok back to business here.  Breast augmentation is a big procedure.  Lots of women want it, it is one of the most noticeable procedures you can have done (yes even more noticeable then anything done to your face...) and is the most common procedure performed in the U.S. according to what i read on the American Society of Plastic Surgery.  So we all know it's a biggy, but what else is there?  What else can you get done?

Liposuction, Tummy Tuck and Facial Surgery

I'd say liposuction is probably the next most important to us girls.  Who wouldn't want to spot reduce fat in those areas where it just doesn't seem to come off?  I go to the gym religiously, always watch what i eat and yet little 'pockets' of fat used to be something i just had to deal with.  Not anymore!  I lipo'd away those suckers and never looked back.  Love it!

Tummy tuck is important after you are done having children.  Actually i heard that there is a package type deal that is referred to as a Mommy Makeover that combines tummy tuck, lipo, breast lift and vaginal rejuvenation (eww...) all at the same time.  Sounds amazing but i bet there's quite a hangover after that surgery... ouchy.

Finally, facial surgery is common and can have a big impact.  Especially if you have a big nose, weak chin or just unhappy with your face.  Older women can make a splash with facelift surgery and turn back the clock a bit.

Hopefully, this helps put my preferences out there for you all a bit.  Are you getting excited for more info on my search for plastic surgeons yet?  You should be!!  LOL

Talk soon:-)

You, Me and Dupree & My Life

Ever seen that one?  Sometimes i swear i feel like Dupree in everyday life and maybe, just maybe I will end up as a motivational speaker like he did... even after all the shenanigans.

I know this blog is supposed to be about plastic surgery and not movies or Owen Wilson but that's how i live... i compare myself and what i'm going through to stupid hollywood fluff.  Yes, i said it so deal with it.

Dumb Movies & Plastic Surgery

My Dupree'ness comes in many ways but as I started this blog I realized that I kind of just feel like Owen Wilson's character Dupree explaining my surgery, searching for great plastic surgeons and trying to fight the stigma of actually getting plastic surgery.

I've emailed a few of my friends my blog link and for some reason they all act like i'm Heidi Montag or something?  Not cool.  What's even worse is how some people will make you feel when you try and include them on your life and what you are up to.

And yes, i just wanted a reason to talk about a cheesy old movie that i love <3  If you haven't see the movie check it out.  Promise I'll post more about plastic surgery next time for ya!

The Plastic Surgery Experience
