Recently i have been watching taiwan's variety show. In one of show, which i didn't want to disclose the name, most of the celebrity mentioned that they became famous after their plastic surgery.

There are so many types of plastic surgery nowadays. From Minor to Major.

Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery

• Cosmetic breast, face, and body surgeries strive to minimize the amount of visible scarring while maximizing the positive benefits. From breast implants to tummy tucks to nose jobs, cosmetic surgeons add to, remove, or adjust existing physical structures to achieve the look that the patient wants. Key factors to keep in mind include cost, physical feasibility, and longevity of results.

Plastic & Cosmetic Subguides

• Breast
  Breast surgeries include purely cosmetic procedures such as augmentations and lifts. These use implants and skin removal to enlarge and firm breasts. Masectomies and breast reductions, on the other hand, can address medical issues such as severe physical trauma or difficulty breathing, respectively.

• Body
  Cosmetic surgery for the body creates the appearance of a slimmer or more toned shape. Liposuction is popular for attaining the first effect by suctioning out excess fat deposits. Alternate procedures, including tummy tucks and arm lifts, enhance the second by removing excess skin to firm the body.

• Face
  Facial plastic surgery spans the range from facelifts that remove excess sagging skin to rhinoplasty that reshapes the nose. Most procedures achieve their desired effects by either removing original tissue or grafting additional tissue harvested from another area of the body or an outside donor.

• Hair
  A full head of healthy, vibrant hair is the mark of youth and beauty. Unfortunately, many men and women lose their hair prematurely or the quality of their hair changes with age. Several methods have been developed to provide thicker, fuller hair either through medicines or surgery. Not all hair loss is the same and the often the best treatment course is dictated by the cause and pattern of hair loss.

BOTOX

For cosmetic purposes, BOTOX® or botulinum toxin injections are used to relax the muscles that cause unwanted wrinkles or lines. As we smile, frown, laugh or make any facial expressions, the muscles around the eyes, lips and eyebrows compress the skin forming furrows and wrinkles. These wrinkles become more prominent with age and tend to persist even when the muscles of the face are not forming any expression. BOTOX® interferes with the ability of muscles to contract and, when injected into these problem areas, can reduce or eliminate wrinkles. While the effect is not permanent, BOTOX® injections can lead to a very noticeable and desirable reduction in wrinkles, making the face appear more youthful and softer. BOTOX® is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures because of its relative safety, cost and ability to “turn back the clock,” if only temporarily.

Breast Implant

Breast implantation is a surgical procedure for enlarging, or augmenting, the breast. Implants are breast-shaped pouches that are saccular in shape, made of a silicone outer shell, and filled with silicone gel or saline (salt water), are used.

Lipodissolve

Lipodissolve is one of the newer and more controversial fat reduction techniques. This non-surgical procedure promises to remove or dissolve fat cells in the body. The procedure involves little more than an injection of a chemical cocktail into fatty areas under the skin. These chemicals are reported to dissolve fat cells and, within a few weeks, cause the fat to be absorbed by the body. Thus trouble areas such as “love handles” or “saddle bags” can be melted away…or so the proponents of lipodissolve suggest. The procedure is controversial because it is not approved by the FDA nor have there been many convincing scientific studies which show that lipodissolve actually works.

How Lipodissolve Works

Lipodissolve is a cocktail of various chemicals, many of which are found naturally within the body. While the composition of the cocktails varies between physician’s offices and lipodissolve manufacturers, there are a few ingredients that are almost always present. The major components of lipodissolve are phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate though there may be steroids, hormones, anesthetics and antibiotics included in the injection. Phosphatidylcholine is found within cell membranes and when injected into the body can be used to disrupt the cell membranes of fat cells. Deoxycholate is a bile acid and is normally food in the digestive tract. Bile acids, including deoxycholate, can dissolve fat. Bile acids behave much like a detergent in that it can cut through grease and make it dissolve in water. These two chemicals land a one-two punch on fat cells to break them open and dissolve them away.

Lipodissolve Results May Vary

While the idea is intoxicating: a simple injection that simply melts fat away, the actual clinical experience with lippodissolve has been less than impressive. First, lipodissolve takes several weeks to have any effect and many people are left wondering if the injection did any good at all. Also, because the cocktail of chemicals only works on the area that is injected, lipodissolve can caused dimpling in the skin—a high degree of fat loss at the precise location of the injection but not loss of fat at all where the chemicals did not reach during the injection. In fact, many plastic surgeons have been called upon to correct some of the aesthetic problems caused by lipodissolve, and the correction is not always easy. For many patients seeking to avoid liposuction (a proven method for removing fat cells) by turning to lipodissolve, they may end up requiring more extensive liposuction or even surgery that requires larger incisions and widespread revisions. Also, since the fat is presumably being absorbed by the body, many wonder, where does the fat go? Scientists’ best guess is that it is processed by the liver and, if correct, lipodissolve could lead to increases in blood cholesterol levels and risk of liver disease.

Towards a More Effective and Reliable Lipodissolve

Some physicians that have the most experience using lipodissolve continue to sing its praises. Efforts are underway to improve the safety and efficacy of lipodissolve. One way to do this is by standardizing the type, number and quantity of chemicals that are included in each lipodissolve injection. Further, clinical trials are underway to determine how best to use this treatment. A link to information about this clinical trial is provided.

Anway i have a question for my readers out there..
