The complexity of the human foot is greater than you would think by just looking at it. This appendage is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, and hundreds more muscles, nerves, and ligaments. That being the case, with as much as they are abused, it is no wonder that foot pain is a common occurrence with many.

The realization that there are painful foot conditions, however, should not cause despair since there are many different treatments available to ease pain resulting from these complaints. The following are two of the most common complaints and a few exercises that can be done to improve them:

Hammer Toe

When a person’s foot flattens out too much, their step becomes unstable, and the tendons that balance the toes out tend to pull to compensate, resulting in the great toe arching. If not treated this position can become ridged, preventing the toe from being able to straighten out as the person walks. There are several exercises that a person can do to help improve the malady.

Toe crunches can be done by sitting in a chair, without socks on, and placing a towel on the floor with the top half of the symptomatic foot placed on it. While keeping the heel on the ground the person then crunches the towel up, and releases it, with their toes. This should be repeated 10-12 times.

Another useful exercise is the squeeze. From a seated position the person places their foot on the opposite thigh, slide their splayed fingers between their toes, and squeeze the toes together. If it is too painful to do them all at once, then they can be done one or two at-a-time until, incrementally, all of them can be done at the same time.

Turf Toe

A common injury from sports, or other activities that require a person to put their weight on the ball of their foot, it causes the tendon that runs under the joint at the base of the great toe (the toe that bears the most weight) to strain, resulting in it becoming hyperextended. The toe is then tender and inflamed, making it painful when it carries weight as the person walks.

The treatments normally recommended for this condition is icing, resting the toe, and taking anti-inflammatory medication.

Tennis Ball Massage is also recommended for turf toe. The person does this by sitting down and placing the injured foot on the tennis ball, and rolling it in all directions, paying particular attention to tender spots.
Generally, taping the great toe and putting a firm insert in shoes helps the toe to heal and prevents the injury form recurring.

An exercise called Short Foot is also beneficial for turf toe, and is done by the person sitting in a chair with their foot flat on the ground. Then, they lift the arch of the foot up, without allowing their toes to curl up or the foot to roll to the outside. This should be held for 5 seconds, released, and repeated until tired.

Some other foot complaints are bunions, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and complications resulting from diabetes. A little research will come up with quite a few exercises and other treatments that are beneficial for these ailments as well.

Less extensive than a full breast augmentation but still a very effective way to boost sagging breasts, a breast lift, or mastopexy, can reshape and lift the breasts. This procedure is especially popular with women whose breasts have sagged due to aging, weight loss or pregnancy, child birth and breast feeding.

Breast Lift procedures are often done in combination with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation, and even facial rejuvenation procedures such as rhinoplasty, brow lifts, blepharoplasty and more. Be sure to discuss all of your options with a board certified plastic surgeon before moving forward with a final decision.

A breast lift can be performed along with a breast augmentation or on its own and includes two different options depending on an individual’s needs and preferences:

•The Benelli Breast Lift or Donut Mastopexy Breast Lift is best suited for women who are interested in a small to moderate lift in their breasts. During this procedure, the cosmetic surgeon removes excess skin and tightens up the tissue around the breasts. This creates a new contour and shape as well as a more youthful look.

•The Full Mastopexy Breast Lift, on the other hand, is for those interested in a larger boost. The procedure essentially works the same, however, the cosmetic surgeon will make further incisions around the breasts while performing the lift, which entails some additional scarring and a longer period of recovery.

The actual procedure can take anywhere from two to four hours and can be performed in an office surgical center or a hospital, depending on the cosmetic surgeon and the procedure itself. If you are thinking about a breast lift or a breast augmentation, you should meet with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon who specializes in these procedures. He or she can discuss all the details of the surgery as well as how to prepare for the procedure and what will be expected after the breast lift. In addition, you can ask questions about costs, risks, options and more. It’s always a good idea to view before-and-after photos from previous patients as well as client recommendations.

If you hope to have more kids or aren’t finished breast feeding, it makes sense to wait to have a breast lift since your breasts can stretch and change during this time. While the breast lift provides impressive results, it isn’t permanent and age can continue to take a toll on the breasts, so it’s also important to have realistic expectations about a breast lift surgery.

After a breast lift, patients will likely be swollen, sore and bruised for several days to a week or more; they must also wear a special surgical bra which helps promote healing. Those who have the procedure generally return to work in about a week, but must avoid intense activity and heavy lifting for several weeks.

All in all, a breast lift is a less invasive way of giving your breasts a youthful lift and creating the shape of your dreams.

It is not unusual to see men having second thoughts about a vasectomy surgery that they got done years ago. After all circumstances both financial and personal keep changing from time to time and these changes can make you rethink your decision of not fathering children in future. Almost 25,000 men decide to go in for vasectomy reversal each year so that they can start a family again. If you are also considering a vasectomy reversal, you need to understand that the reversal procedure is more complex than the initial surgery. Also, there is not telling if it will work and turn out to be a success. If this has got you wondering about the success rate of vasectomy reversal procedures; here is a look at your chances of becoming a father again ad the factors that may ruin your chances:

Even though the success rate of a vasectomy reversal is very high; there are several factors that will influence the outcome of such a procedure. One of the primary things the doctor will consider when analyzing the feasibility of vasectomy reversal for your specific scenario will be the number of year since the initial vasectomy procedure. If a decade or more has gone by since the original surgery, the chances of success even with a vasectomy reversal procedure will be limited. At best you stand 30% chances of regaining your fertility because several complications come into play when there is a big gap between the initial procedure and the intended vasectomy reversal surgery.

There have been cases in which vasectomies that were older than 25 years were reversed successfully but these are few and far between. The number of years that have passed since the original operation are inversely proportional to the success rate of a vasectomy reversal. There are two different procedures that are used o reverse a vasectomy; the first is vasovasotomy which is used in people who have had the initial procedure within three years of the intended surgery. This procedure involves joining the severed ends of the tube called vas deferens with thin sutures.

However; there may be scarring tissue and blockages in people who have had the initial vasectomy procedure ten or more years before the intended reversal surgery. In this case the doctor may have to use another procedure known as the vasoepididymostomy where the vas deferens tube is joined directly to the epididymis. Both procedures are performed with the goal to remove or bypass the obstructions created by the vasectomy procedure and to regain fertility.

Another factor that will also have a bearing on the success rate of a vasectomy reversal procedure is the expertise and competence of the surgeon. Since a vasectomy reversal is by no means an inexpensive procedure, you need to ensure that the doctor who works on your case has the necessary experience and a good success rate with his/her prior clients. Talk to the doctor about the procedure, the possible risks and complications and the expected success rate.

Once you have made a decision about getting the procedure done, talk to the surgeon about what you need to do before the actual surgery. Many clinics will ask you to shave the genital area before the surgery while others will ask you to use certain types of underwear or clothing after the procedure. After the surgery, you will also be given instruction about the post surgery care and about the painkillers that can be used to alleviate discomfort.

If the vasectomy reversal procedure has worked out as planned, sperms will reappear in the seen in a few months; your surgeon will ask you to conduct a sperm reversal after the procedure to analyze if the surgery was successful. Pregnancy usually appears 12 to 18 months after the surgery depending on the health and count of the sperms and the fertility of your partner. If the first attempt at reversing the vasectomy has been unsuccessful, you can consider a second procedure or invitro fertilization to father a child biologically.

Think boot camp and the mind conjures up rigorous workouts and circuit training to keep the body fit. It is the best way to spend an exhilarating and fun day in the open as well as enjoy a tremendous workout. The focus of each of the camps could be different but they all adopt high-impact fitness routines or training that will push you beyond your known physical limits. Most of them adopt a method called as circuit training, where there are no rest breaks at all, between the fast paced exercises. Therefore there are endless variations of training and exercises which help in the strengthening of the legs.

Box Jumps: This is a very flexible but highly entertaining boot camp exercise to work those calf muscles. You should choose a fairly wide box or a wide wooden bench of about a foot and half in height and of reasonable strength that will hold your weight if you were to jump on it. Next prepare to jump onto the box or the bench with both your legs at the same time. Begin with coming into a squatting position at about half a feet away from the box. Then in one movement jump on the box or bench and immediately jump down again with both the legs together. This is much like jumping the rope but at a slightly higher position and it will have to be done very fast. Continue to do this until you tire.

Burpees: This is another interesting combination of boot camp exercises consisting of squats and push-ups. This will help in the overall toning and maintaining the cardiovascular rate. First begin by standing with your feet apart. Then squat and place your hands down on the ground like when you do a push up. Complete one set of push-up and then do the most exciting part of this exercise. Start with kicking the feet backwards up to into the air, stretch your body explosively, simultaneously clapping overhead. You could repeat it until you are exhausted.

Power lunges: This is a very quick and fast paced exercise and will help you strengthen your muscles as well as become more agile. Keep the front knee at a right angle and stretch the other leg. Then in one swift movement simultaneously jump and switch legs coming into the lunging position as quickly as possible. This exercise will tone these calf muscles. Continue to do this until your legs begin to ache.

Y-squat: This boot camp exercise will focus on strengthening the hamstrings and the quads. Stand in a relaxed position with your feet apart. Then spread your hands in front in a Y-shape. Then begin the squatting exercise, keeping the hands in the same position and widening the knee transferring the weight to the heels.

Therefore boot camp exercising is the sure shot way not only to strengthen your calf muscles but also to have some fun and exhilaration doing them.

I have been writing articles taking the readers through different phases of the South Beach Diet. I started with an over view of the program, then South Beach Phase one , Phase Two, now the final phase, South Beach Phase Three.

Well congratulations! Because you are here that means you lost 8 to 12 lbs. In phase 1, you continued to lose weight slower in phase 2, your clothes are looser and you are noticeably thinner and you have achieved your target weight.

What’s next? Phase 3! This phase of the program lasts for the rest of your life. You now have the knowledge to make the right choices of the food you eat. The program now should feel more like a life style than a diet. You can eat normal foods in normal portions. If you find the weight creeping back up just start phase over again. It is that simple.
There is not much more to say about phase 3 so I would just like to pass on some tips that Dr Agatston recommends once you are in phase three.

Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast! He says that studies show that when you eat regular meals you stabilize your blood sugar and experience fewer cravings during the day. Should you experience cravings later in the afternoon just have a snack of low fat cheese, nuts or vegetables around mid afternoon. This will eliminate the cravings and bide you over until supper.

Make sure you get lots of fibre from the foods you eat. He suggests that we don’t consume enough fibre in our diets. Fibre comes from good carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. He says that studies show that when you consume lots of fibre you have better weight loss and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Remember when shopping for bread or cereal that you read the label and make sure that the first ingredient is 100% whole grain or whole grain.

Don’t leave out good fats in your diet. These fats are actually good for your health. Good fats include olive and canola oils, omega 3 fish oil found in deep water fish as well as walnuts and green leafy vegetables. He also recommends an Omega 3 supplement if you don’t eat fish 3 times a week.

It’s all right if you have a bad day. He says a healthy diet is a lifestyle that means that it is marathon not a sprint. Every one falls off the wagon from time to time. If you do get back on! Living a healthy life style means making good choices most of the time not all of the time.

Exercise regularly. Those who exercise regularly tend to keep the weight off over time compared to those who don’t have an exercise regime. Exercise helps you feel better, prevents heart and other disease, and helps you live longer.
Remember to practice everything you learned though out the program. I commend you for taking charge and making a change in your lifestyle and the way you think.

If you are serious about weight loss, you surely are testing all available products to determine which one is the most effective for you. You probably have heard about ephedra alkaloids and ephedra extracts. Ephedra has been proven to be among the best and most effective substances that bring about weight loss. However, it is a powerful substance that should not be abused, hence, the current FDA regulation against it. You might be confused because there are supplements containing ephedra alkaloids and some with ephedra extracts. What is the difference of the two?

When you say a substance is an ephedra extract, you are talking about a product that contains actual extracts from a gymnosperm shrub. Plants that contain ephedra could be found across different areas globally like in South America, Central Asia, North America, and North Africa. Ephedra has been used for many centuries in the traditional Chinese medicine. It has been popular among people who are fond of taking herbs to treat various forms of ailments.

Ephedra could bring about improvement to the bronchial tubes and airways. The substance has been proven to be effective in providing relief or treating common colds, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and hay fever. On top of those, ephedra could bring about thermogenesis, a process that makes the body produce more internal heat. When there is greater internal heat, metabolic rate is raised so that burning of more fats and converting calories into useful energy is enhanced.

The US Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of ephedra due to the logical and possible bad effects to people who take the substance for too long. Thus, it is very rare to find and buy weight loss supplements and products that contain ephedra extract in their ingredients, though there are still many of such weight loss commodities.

On the other hand, ephedra alkaloids, more popularly known as ephedrine, are impure forms of ephedra. They could be synthetic because they contain many other substances that are added to the natural herbal extract. In the market, the combination is also referred to as hydrochloride, sulphate, or pseudoephedrine. Many manufacturers combine ephedrine with green tea extract and caffeine to make their products natural.

These days, products with ephedra alkaloids are widely sold because they do not contain pure ephedra. However, the potency and weight loss potential is not significantly altered. Thus, it could be inferred that ephedra alkaloids serve as direct substitutes for ephedra extract. Safety issues are involved. Products with ephedra alkaloids are usually over-the-counter so that there is no need to get prescriptions from your physician to buy them from the market.

Ephedra is truly a powerful weight loss ingredient. It could bring about a significant decline in overall weight. If you are aiming to shed out extra pounds, you should look at products containing the substance. Now, you have a clear idea about how ephedra extracts differ from ephedra alkaloids. You could now make a good and wise decision when buying products that contain either of them.

Every time we do some form of hard work we use our muscles and in so doing through our normal day activities we do gain muscles also. If one does not use the muscles due to any strenuous work or physical demanding activity then some program of muscle building must be put into place. A new physical routine will see adjustments in your diet and how you live and exercise. If however you are determined and put your heart and mind into it and see it through, you will be able to pat yourself on the back and be proud of yourself as compliments pour in from the people around you. This is not an overnight success story however, but with the right muscle building program you will get those long desired for muscles.

A muscle building program or regimen is very important for you to build your muscles. The program is basically a set of routine exercises that are given certain schedules to be done at given days. To develop different muscles require one to do different exercises targeted at specific muscle groups. In this way, the muscle building program must be carefully organized anywhere from a full body workout a workout for specific muscle groups. An example can be training of arms on Mondays, legs and calves on Tuesdays, lower body and abs on Wednesday and so forth. You should stick to the plan you have designed no matter what. By having this plan of segregation of muscle groups, you make the most use of time and not waste it by having a full body workout everyday with no results.

Rest is extremely important. During rest is the time that muscles are repairing and growing. When muscles are used they tear and therefore the body replaces that tear in your muscle cells with new thicker fibres from protein thus it grows. This process of repairing and building starts a couple of hours after exercise and can last up to a day. Thus you should rest the areas exercised at least one day, so that the process can be completed and the new fibres being place will not be broken right away.

Adjustments in diet are also necessary in that you must increase your calorie intake and choose foods that will assist in the muscle building process. Foods that are rich in protein and carbohydrates, such as cheese, milk, meats and nuts should be taken and junk food avoided. Small meals are preferred taken every 3 hours instead of 2 or 3 big meals. Likewise there are muscle building supplements one can take to build muscles.

As time moves on, you will need to make further adjustments to your muscle building program. This is due to the fact that as your body adjusts to the routine, it will be used to it and no further tearing of muscles, hence further growth, will occur. It is advisable that the routing be modified once every six weeks or once a month.

A Varicose vein (which a vein that has become enlarged or swollen) usually presents as blue or dark purple in color, often have lumps, bulge and give the appearance of being twisted.

Varicose veins mainly develop in the lower limbs with the calve being the area most affected. This is because of the extra pressure that is exerted on the lower area of the body due to walking and standing. However, it is possible for any vein in the body to become varicose.

All veins have small one-way valves inside them which constantly open and close ensuring that the deoxygenated blood flows back to the heart. In the case of varicose veins the valves have become damaged and weak and this means that the blood can regurgitate – effectively flowing backwards. The blood becomes stale and collects in the vein which in turn results in the vein swelling.

Varicose veins are a fairly common complaint with women being far more affected than men.

While the appearance of varicose veins can be visually unpleasant it is unusual for them to cause other health issues. The blood circulation is not affected and for the majority of people no treatment is required. As a varicose vein is swollen it does sometimes cause discomfort and pain but it is unusual for other complications to occur. There may be some skin coloration changes and in some rare cases leg ulcers and it is in these cases that some form of treatment may be advisable.

The most common types of varicose are:

Trunk varicose veins – These are the type that mainly appear in the lower limbs and are close to the skins surface presenting as thick with bulges and may appear unpleasant visually and go the length of a person’s leg.

Telangiectasia varicose veins – these are small areas of blue or red veins, grouped together and mainly appear on the facial area but can appear elsewhere. They cause no health issues and do not swell. They are sometimes associated with excess consumption of alcohol.

Reticular varicose veins – these are similar to the telangiectasia type and appear red and form closely together.

Symptoms, Staging and Complications of Untreated Varicose Veins

As mentioned earlier a varicose vein can occur due to the one way valves becoming damaged and weak allowing the blood to regurgitate – effectively flowing backwards. The most common area of the leg affected is the calve due to the pressure required to pump the venous blood back to the heart.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

The initial symptoms are slightly raised veins with small areas of the veins showing signs of enlargement. The veins are blue (sometimes a dark purple).

Over a period of time and depending on the severity others symptoms may occur. Some people suffer muscle cramps (usually at night) while during the day the legs can ache and feel heavy. In some instances the legs will throb or have a burning sensation, feet and ankles may swell especially later in the day. The skin over the varicose vein can become dryer than elsewhere and may itch. The skin may also become thinner resulting in bleeding from even the smallest knock.

It is usual for the symptoms to be more prevalent during warm weather. Standing for long periods can also exacerbate the symptoms.

The most common place for varicose veins to develop but other areas can also be affected.

When we talk about uv tooth whitening is it using a whitening gel and a sun bed to whiten the teeth or are we are talking about a light based whitening method like zoom or power whitening, here we discuss both points in detail.

Teeth whitening is becoming big news as TV shows have regular makeovers which involve an individual having their teeth whitened so this plus other factors increases the awareness of teeth whitening. Many people are starting to have teeth whitening and when the results are so positive they tell friends and family and then the viral effect takes hold!

When the teeth become dull and yellowish in colour it can take a long time and therefore it is not always something that gets noticed straight away but it can take just one thing to trigger a response that starts to make us aware of the fact our teeth need some whitening. At this point people then start to turn to the internet as start their research and look at the many different options available to whiten the teeth and remove years and years of torrid staining that is inhibiting the smile in some way.

Some of the sun tanning centers are offering uv tooth whitening and what they mean is placing a whitening strip on the surface of the teeth for the duration of the sun tanning session which can be anything from three to fifteen minutes long. The idea being is that the heat generated from the ultra violet lights will send a heat in the area of the teeth and help speed the process of teeth whitening.

Like many of the DIY kit options these are fine for lighter and surface stains but the heavier deeper stains in the teeth tend to be tougher to remove with these type of systems as the strength of the gel is milder to ensure a safe experience with the gums and soft tissues etc.

The more effective uv tooth whitening system is where a machine with a set of uv lights will gently heat the gel placed of the front surface of the teeth to heat and gently remove the staining in the enamel. Because of the value the heat places in the area of the teeth this can remove deep staining in one hours treatment and just one session required for most people.

This uv tooth whitening system can be more commonly known as laser, zoom or power whitening but many of these systems use a light based method which works on the same methodology described above.

In the main teeth whitening is deemed as a safe treatment as long as it is performed by a competent, trained person or if you are using products approved by local quality standards. For example in Europe there is CE approval which is a recognized standard confirming the product has passed its quality testing.

If you are unsure then speak to your dentist and get their advice of what is best for you and your teeth. Good luck!

To most people a gym is a gym, full stop, somewhere that they go to try as hard as they possibly can to regain a least a little of the shape that they had what seems like only yesterday. Exercise is exercise no matter where you happen to be doing it, and how long you do it for. That is of course unless you live in the capital, where there seems to be a London gym for almost any type of exercise that you could possibly think of.
Not content with the basic run of the mill gym, some of these places offer you the chance to try something that may be a little bit outside of your comfort zone. There is for example something called krav maga which seems to be very popular, as well as the normal run of the mill things like boxing or karate.
If a London gym wants to stand out amongst these exciting places, it has to have something just a little bit special, and apparently there is one that has a 200 metre elevated running track of their very own. This is just one of the lengths that these places will go to in order to keep their customers happy and coming back.
For those who like alternative fitness regimes, power plate seems to hit the spot, especially as this high speed training offers something extra. If you do a 25 minute class of it this has the same effect as doing 60 minutes of normal strenuous exercise.
There are some gyms that have Olympic size boxing rings in them if a spot of pugilism is what takes your fancy. There are even some that offer such gems as stiletto classes, exotic dancing and if you fancy yourself as a spy, the 007 workout whatever that involves.
Obviously the further that you are away from the capital the less chance you have of coming across some of these. If all that you want is a good gym then there are now more than enough of these new modern places to go around.
They are full of the latest state of the art exercise equipment to make sure that you get the very best from your workout. The changing and shower facilities will be second to none, and the exercising area large and airy for your comfort.
The staff on hand will be not only experienced but also very knowledgeable when it comes to all things exercise related. They will offer advice should you need it and more importantly motivation when you seem to have hit the obligatory brick wall in your workout.
There will also be a number of different classes available so that if the gym is not your thing, you still have several exercising options open to you. They can vary from something as relaxing as yoga to the phenomenon that is zumba, and many things in between.
The chances are that you will be more than satisfied with one of these gyms, and therefore have no need to move to the capital.

You should avoid cheaper models of exercise treadmills that found in department stores and that you should only buy treadmills from an area of expertise store specializing in home exercise equipment. This is a good advice if you are very serious about exercise, but for those who will sometimes use a treadmill, not every day, it would b foolishness to buy an expensive model from one of the best treadmills: a basic, cheap treadmill will be enough. Impartial reviews of treadmills can also makes buying recommendations. Why do we make recommendations? Well, it can be for any reason, such as the opening of a new and enhanced model of treadmill or it can be that we just have basic like it because a top rated exercise treadmill is on sale.

There are various ingredients that are used in making weight loss supplements and pills. However, it seems like nothing is more popular, excellent—and controversial—than ephedrine.

What is ephedrine?

This is quite different from ephedra. Ephedra is derived directly from a shrub. Therefore, it is pure herbal extract. Ephedrine is already an alkaloid. Ephedra is already combined with other substances, natural and synthetic, to produce ephedrine.

Nevertheless, it does not mean that the functions of ephedra and ephedrine are completely different. They are highly similar. Ephedrine can also perform the following:

Increase your metabolism.

This is one of the main goals of weight loss supplements. Your metabolic rate will basically determine how much calories or fats you can burn even when you are in a still or dormant state (when you are not basically doing anything). Some people are born with very slow metabolism. Those of age will realize that they will lose a huge percent of their metabolism as they grow older. There are also others who need to burn as much fat as possible to avoid developing health complications.

Simply put, people need to increase metabolic rates in one way or the other. This is where ephedrine can be extremely helpful. Ephedrine has the ability to produce more heat inside the body. It is a way of “waking up” your metabolic rate, so it becomes much faster. Moreover, when you pair ephedrine with other components such as caffeine in ECA stack, you can double the power of the supplement and burn more calories in the process.

It can also increase the blood flow. When you increase your blood flow, you can also produce more heat inside your body and enhance your metabolic rate. This is its cyclic process.

It suppresses hunger.

There are countless reasons why you tend to eat more than your friends or family members. You may be depressed, so a coping mechanism will be to eat. You are easily tempted by food, so you eat. Worse, you are trying to go on a diet by fasting, but when the hunger pangs strike you, you end up eating more than you should.

Ephedrine, however, has a way of suppressing your hunger pangs. It has the ability to “trick your brain” into believing that you are full, or you are not hungry. Since most of the messages come from the brain and the rest of your body will just react, you tend to eat less or not at all.

This then gives your body enough time to get rid of as much unwanted calories as possible. Your body will have the opportunity to reduce fats by not adding more of them to be burned, broken down, or transformed into energy.

It clears air tubes.

Ephedrine is also present in decongestants because it can clear out the passageway of air or can expand your bronchial tubes. You can breathe more properly, and when you can, you may also endure longer when you are doing your exercise routines.

When you are trying to do this, you may have to make some changes in the way that you eat. Some people are used to drinking sugary sodas every day or even used to eating candy on a regular basis, and you will have to change those habits.

Second, it is important that you learn how you are going to care for your teeth through maintenance. You have to take the time that you need to learn how you are going to scrub the plaque off of your teeth throughout the day.

Q: My upper lids droop over my eyelashes and I would like to have them fixed. I have seen two plastic surgeons, one who agreed that he could help me with my upper lids, another who told me I’d have to have a brow lift as well. My brows are fine with me and I do not understand why a brow lift would be necessary? Why would a surgeon recommend a procedure I did not ask for?

A: You really should go and have another talk with your plastic surgeons – if one recommended a brow lift, he should have explained why he did so. Rarely would we suggest a procedure about a body part not brought to our attention by a complaint originated by a patient. For example, we would never comment about very large or small breasts if a patient came in to discuss an abdominoplasty (i.e. “tummy tuck”).

The two exceptions I can think of relate to chin implants and brow lifts, but in such a situation, I sure would hope that the patient left the consultation with an understanding of why we are recommending the brow lift or chin implant procedures! Patients with weak chins who come in complaining of a large nose or a droopy neck cannot get a great profile without addressing the weak chin because the chin, nose and neck all contribute to the profile. Likewise, if a patient complains of heavy upper eye lids, we have to analyze the balance between the eyelid and brow position.

As a plastic surgeon, our duty is to lay out the options for a patient and each person has to choose the procedure(s) that will give them their desired results. In a pure upper eye lid blepharoplasty, the thin skin excess of the lids is removed but the distance from the lashes to the brows is not changed. In patients with low brows, removing the thin, excess upper lid skin may not be appreciated unless the thicker tissues just below the brows are raised as well. This is not to say that every low brow must be raised when doing an upper lid procedure, but the patient has to understand that only the thin, upper lid skin excess will be removed, that the thicker brow hooding will be unchanged, and that the distance between the brows and lashes does not change with an isolated blepharoplasty.

If a patient desires a more open – eyed look, this will only be accomplished if a brow lift is added to the eye lid procedure. Not only will the eye area look more open following a brow lift, but during a brow lift, the frown lines between the brows will be minimized because we can remove some of the muscles that cause these frown lines, called the corrugator and procerus muscles. And finally, occasionally I’ll see a patient with hooding caused by low brows who thinks they would like an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, but when I gently elevate the brows, I can see that this patient does not have an excess of thin, upper lid skin, just low malpositioning of the brows and I will recommend to this patient that a brow lift be performed without a lid procedure per say.

A brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure. In the endoscopic brow lift, a few half inch incisions are made behind the hair line, allowing the instruments to be inserted. The tissues are freed from the bone, the muscles sculpted, and the brows raised a few millimeters. The brows are fixed in their new position with a variety of devices. The incisions are rarely perceptible after healing has taken place. Occasionally, a brow lift will be performed as an isolated procedure, but more commonly it will be combined with a minimally invasive midface or thread lift, an eyelid procedure or a standard face lift.

If you have any specific questions about cosmetic procedures, you should see a qualified, board certified plastic surgeon to review your options and have additional questions answered!
