Angelina Jolie Spends Time in Afghanistan With Refugees

2011-03-07T19:26:00.000-08:00

If you were like us TGB'ers, you noticed that Angelina Jolie did not grace us with her beauty on the red carpet of the Oscars. It was reported that instead of spending the time all dolled up in Hollywood, instead the Jolie-Pitt family were in Italy with the kids.

Perhaps Angelina was also getting ready for her recent humanitarian trip to Afghanistan. The actress turned goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissions for Refugees, met with refugees returnees in Kabul, many of whom had been exiled. Over 5.5 million refugees have returned to the country since 2002, many from Pakistan and Iran, and now make up 20% of the population.

"It’s clear travelling through the country that what needs to be done is a very focused approach in places of return," Jolie said. "We need to revisit the idea of what return is and the difference between just returning and reintegrating.

"The focus needs to be put now on reintegration, and that means not just putting up shelter but making sure there is water, job opportunities, a school for the children and medical clinics."

She also met up with Khanum Gul in the small room she shares with her husband and eight children. During Jolie's first time to Afghanistan in 2008, she met with Gul, who had just given birth to her eighth child, a son named Samir.

"It was very distressing to see that, because of the poor conditions, Samir seems to be suffering some form of developmental delay due to malnutrition or lack of medical care. He can't walk and is barely surviving in what can only be described as a very cold and damp warehouse," Jolie said.

Gul also supports her ailing mother, and her husband, a day laborer, is having a difficult time finding work.

"This old woman was so upset, because she feels like a burden. She watches her grandchildren go onto the streets every day to wash cars for a dollar a day so the family can eat. Often they earn nothing," Jolie said. "Everyone I have met on this visit has been very clear. The Afghan people don't want to become beggars. They want the opportunity to work for a living with dignity so they can provide for their families."

In addition to her work with the refugees in Kabul, Jolie traveled to Qala, north of Kabul, at met with young girls who will be studying in a new primary school being built in the village, a school the actress is funding.

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in The Tourist

2010-10-11T09:17:00.000-07:00

On the back of the success of Salt, Angelina Jolie stars in slick European comedy crime capper 'The Tourist' with Johnny Depp.

The movie sees Jolie play yet another femme fatale (yawn) Elise who beguiles Depp's character, Frank, as he travels around Italy trying to mend a broken heart. The two meet on a train where we soon discover that Frank is being used to mislead agents who are pursuing her former lover, a wanted man in fourteen countries. The two begin a romance but Frank soon finds himself in a thrilling and dangerous web of intrigue as his new lover is not all that she appears.Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, the movie nearly failed to get off the ground after some cast and crew issues, in which Avatar star Sam Worthington was initially pitched as Johnny Depp's character. However, after 'creative differences' both lead Worthington and director von Donnersmarck walked away from the project until Depp replaced the Avatar star and von Donnersmarck made a return.

The movie is billed as ultimately a love story, but it is also a comedy thriller that is sure to attract both Jolie and Depp fans alike. 'The Tourist' is set for release 10 December in the USA.

Jolie begins directorial career in Hungary

2010-10-11T09:14:00.000-07:00

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie is cutting her directorial teeth in Hungary and has begun shooting her as-yet-unnamed film in Budapest.

The 35-year-old U.S. film star recruited Academy Award-winning producer Graham King ("The Departed") to help bring to life her directorial debut, a love story set during the Bosnian War, People magazine reported.

"Angelina is one of the most accomplished and dedicated film professionals I have had the pleasure to work with, so I jumped at the chance to produce her directorial debut alongside her," King told People. "I am very happy to be a witness to a new film director in the making."Jolie cast local actors for her picture, including Zana Marjanovic (Cannes critics week grand prize winner for "Snow"), Goran Kostic and Rade Serbedzija, People said.

Angelina Jolie Attacked Once Again by Tab That’s Hungary for Scandal

2010-10-11T09:12:00.000-07:00

As Gossip Cop reported this week, Angelina Jolie and four of her children have gone to Budapest, Hungary, where Jolie will be filming her directorial debut.

And, because In Touch is obsessed with transforming Jolie’s every move into controversy, the magazine is depicting the travel as a major crisis.

“A Family Torn Apart,” declares a headline in the tab, which claims that the kids’ enrollment in school in Hungary has taken the couple’s desire for them to be “citizens of the world” way “too far.”

Pitt is “heartbroken,” according to a “friend” quoted by In Touch, because he misses his family and “wants to make sure that his kids are normal kids, just like he was.”

“This is very divisive for their family,” says a random “relationship expert” the magazine cites.We wonder whether Jolie’s decision to stay with her kids while she shoots a movie is as “divisive” as her humanitarian interest in flood-ravaged Pakistan, which In Touch also managed to hold against her.

When Jolie is with her children, the tabloid says it’s just for show, or goes so far as to manipulate photographs to make it seem like she’s an inadequate mom. So if she’d gone to Budapest without them, In Touch would be calling her an absentee mother.

Angelina Jolie visits Haiti

2010-02-18T22:27:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie visited earthquake victims in Haiti on Tuesday in her latest trip to help survivors of conflict and natural disaster as a goodwill envoy for a United Nations agency.

Jolie, 34, who has been a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR since early 2001, traveled to quake-shattered Port-au-Prince after visiting injured Haitian children in a hospital on Monday in neighboring Dominican Republic.

The actress, who has been on numerous U.N. humanitarian missions to help refugees from more than 20 countries, was due to visit a hospital and other relief sites treating hundreds of thousands of hurt and homeless Haitian quake survivors.

The dark-haired Hollywood star, wearing a black jacket and aviator sunglasses, waved to reporters when she visited a U.N. base near Port-au-Prince airport, before she was driven away in a white U.N. vehicle.UNHCR officials in Port-au-Prince told reporters her visit was "private."

In Geneva, UNHCR spokesman Andrej Mahecic declined to give specifics about Jolie's itinerary in Haiti, citing security reasons for its long-standing policy of not disclosing details of trips by its goodwill ambassadors.

On Monday in the Dominican Republic, the actress visited a hospital in Santo Domingo where dozens of injured Haitians, mainly children, have been treated since the devastating January 12 quake in Haiti that killed more than 200,000 people.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sue newspaper

2010-02-18T22:17:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are suing the News Of The World newspaper after it published allegations about their relationship.

In a story published on 24 January, the paper said the couple would separate and had agreed the division of assets and custody of their children.

The couple's lawyer, Keith Schilling, called the "widely republished" allegations "false and intrusive".

He added the paper had failed to meet "reasonable demands" for an apology.

He said the pair had also asked for a retraction of the allegations, which had subsequently been "widely republished by mainstream news outlets". Not married

A statement from Schillings Lawyers also noted that Sorrell Trope, identified by some publications as a divorce lawyer advising Pitt and Jolie, had never met them.

"I have had no contact from... Angelina Jolie and / or Brad Pitt," said Trope in a letter quoted in the statement.

"I have never met... your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm."

The action comes following the publication by the News of the World of allegations that Jolie and / or Pitt had visited a divorce lawyer in December, and that an agreement had been reached between them regarding custody of their children and the dividing of their joint assets of £205m.

The newspaper added that the agreement had been signed last month and that the separation would occur imminently.

A spokesperson for the News Of The World was unable to comment at the time of writing.

2010-02-18T22:13:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie who had split from her partner, Brad Pitt reveals that she is not very keen on celebrating Valentine's Day. She refuses to celebrate the day as she “hates all the lovey-dovey stuff.”

Nothing to do with her break up, she always found hearts, flowers and chocolates a bad taste and anything but romantic.

Angelina Jolie said that love cannot be defined by any one day. It is eternal and can not be showy.

“Brad always wanted to celebrate a romantic day but Jolie would not like it. She would instead, say that she is tired after a long day's work,” said a close source

Angelina Jolie on Haiti Adoption

2010-02-18T22:08:00.000-08:00

In the nightmarish aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, millions of children have been left without families -- and many compassionate onlookers (including celebs like Kristin Chenoweth) have wondered if they could help by adopting Haitian children. But legal adoption is temporarily closed due to the tragedy, and on Saturday, Angelina Jolie -- the world's best-known advocate for international adoption -- encouraged potential parents to wait.

On a visit to Haiti in her capacity as goodwill ambassador for the U.N., Jolie talked to CNN recently about why Americans shouldn't try to "help" children by taking them out of Haiti.

"Trafficking has been a huge problem in this country for a long time," Jolie explained, meaning that the government needs to keep track of all children who exit the country to prevent abuses. While those who want to adopt right now may "mean well," Jolie continued, it's important that they "not get frustrated, but really work with the country."

The star's plea then took a personal turn: "For myself, as someone who's an adoptive parent, I understand the urge to assist in that way, but now is not the time. An emergency is not the time for new adoptions in any way."Jolie admitted to CNN that she herself had considered adopting from Haiti ("We're that kind of family. Brad and I talk about that," she said), but insists the most important thing right now is to reunite existing families. "We don't know who is an orphan. I've met women... who were saying they haven't spoken to their children. They have no cell phones, they have no way to tell their children they're alive."

Angelina Jolie Visits Haiti, Endorses SOS Children's Villages

2010-02-18T21:55:00.000-08:00

The world's most famous adoptive mom says she is open to adoption, but this is not the right time to adopt in Haiti. She has endorsed instead, the work of SOS Children's Villages.

Angelina Jolie visited Haiti recently, and is raising awareness of SOS Children's Villages which provides aid to Haiti's children and their families, left hurt and homeless by last month's devastating earth quake.

In a CNN interview with reporter Christiane Amanpour, the actress and Goodwill Ambassador, was asked if she were planning to adopt a child from Haiti."We are that kind of family," she answered. "Brad and I talk about adoption all the time. However, this is not the time to adopt. "What is important now, is to reunite Haiti's children, separated by the earthquake, with their families."

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp - It's On!

2009-11-25T07:23:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp are huge, hot movie stars who'll be working together on a new movie in which their respective characters make love in the shower.

Based on that, you can consider their respective relationships over.

That's the logic of the new Life & Style Weekly, which recalls "tearing clothing in a frenzy, mounting counter tops and thrusting against walls" in Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Things got so hot and heavy in that 2005 film that Brad Pitt soon split from his wife, Jennifer Aniston, and found himself in Angelina Jolie's arms in real life, too!

But, what goes around comes around, and given the premise of The Tourist, it's basically inevitable that Angie will now leave Brad for Sexiest Man Alive Depp. source: www.thehollywoodgossip.com

Why you Must Get Breast Augmentation Advice Before Making Any Decision About Plastic Surgery

2008-02-25T22:50:00.000-08:00

Author: Karin Manning

More and more women are beginning to forego surgery and are turning to natural breast enlargements in stead. For women with little budget, natural enhancement methods are the best ways to go and many options are available for choosing. For aging women or those with troubled medical histories, cosmetic surgeries can become very dangerous.

One of the simplest ways to avoid decision breast augmentation disasters and pitfalls is to seek the advice of those who know better on the subject matter. In the case of breast enhancement, one way to be fully enlightened on the subject is to seek professional advice, whether from doctors, surgeons, or people who have tried surgery themselves. This advice can prove to be extremely beneficial in the long run ,especially for bust enhancement clients who have not done any thorough research on the issues concerned.

There is information and opinions from professionals available in magazines, journals, from word of mouth. The Internet also holds a range of important information and reviews that can serve as reliable advice for women who are thinking of going under the knife. There are also many articles that discuss the subject of enhancement, with topics such as the different methods available presently, the advantages and disadvantages of such methods, the costs involved, and of course the level of effectiveness.

The Risk of a Stroke During Plastic Surgery

2008-02-24T23:24:00.001-08:00

Author: Robert Silich

While most plastic surgeons will outline the risks of having an elective surgical procedure performed, very few tend to speak directly to the issues regarding safety and post operative complications. Often, a surgeon will make a general statement regarding the risks of surgery, such as, "All surgery carries risks which includes, bleeding, infection, difficulty breathing, swelling, clotting, and other illnesses in a small percentage of patients," and then move directly into talking about the benefits of the procedure. Patients need to inform themselves of the actual risks associated with cosmetic surgical procedures, especially the risk of a stroke or cerebral vascular accident (CVA). As a physician, I understand that there is no value in frightening our patients without cause. Yet I still firmly believe that patients should never be too quick to decide on an elective surgical procedure without fully realizing the potential for devastating complications.

Patients and physicians alike need to recognize that most patients who are receiving some sort of cosmetic care are generally considered to be healthy individuals. Thus, neither patient nor physician is necessarily ready for the onset of a complication. This fact alone can make a complication much more serious than if the very same complication arose during a medically necessary procedure. For instance, even during a routine knee surgery, physicians do not see their patients as completely healthy, and are more guarded against the onset of blood clots or other risk factors for stroke.

While the approximated one to two percent of cosmetic surgery patients who will experience a stroke seems like a very limited number of patients, the effects of these strokes can be devastating

Who is at Risk?

Few patients really consider themselves at risk for a possible stroke because they associate the condition as an event that occurs to people over the age of 55. While in some cases age does bear a factor, it is far from the determining factor of a stroke. In fact, a healthy 65-year-old woman can be less likely to have a stroke than a 35-year-old woman who is undergoing invasive cosmetic surgery. Patients should understand the causes of a stroke in a post operative environment in order to assess more realistically their level of risk. However, as a physician I can testify to the fact that sometimes there simply is no way to ascertain why a stroke occurred for one individual and not for another with the same health history, the same risk factors, and the same surgical procedure.

Most post operative strokes occur when a blood clot dislodges, which typically occurs in the lower section of the body. This blood clot then travels through the body and may lodge itself in the brain or more commonly the lungs. This action of a blood clot traveling through the body post surgically is commonly referred to as an embolism and usually arises from a larger blood clot that usually forms in the lower body known as a deep venous thrombosis or "DVT". DVT is a prime concern for surgeons, and can be considered a precursor to a stroke.

Understanding the Potential Danger

Blood clots generally become trapped in either the lung or the brain when they break free from other parts of the body. When the blood clot becomes caught in a blood vessel in the brain, it results in a CVA or stroke. When it becomes trapped in a blood vessel in the lung it is known as a pulmonary embolism or PE. Either condition is life threatening and can carry serious consequences.

While blood clots and strokes are a significant risk for all patients having any type of invasive surgery, plastic surgeons run into a unique scenario that generally makes it a little more difficult for our patients to get treatment and help in a short amount of time. Incidents of blood clots and stroke can happen anywhere between several hours post operatively up to about ten days after surgery. Thus, these incidents rarely occur within a medical environment and usually happen at home. Patients who remain in the hospital or a medical center after a medically necessary procedure are more likely to have these incidents in the hospital.

Patients, who are going to experience a cosmetic procedure, or any type of surgery for that matter, should familiarize themselves with the general symptoms of post surgical pulmonary embolism or stroke. Symptoms that include shortness of breath, chest pain, disorientation, and sometimes even a sense of altered mental status are likely either to be related to a pulmonary embolism or a stroke. Patients and physicians alike should also understand the basic risk factors for these complications and prior to a surgical procedure. While there are still studies being conducted, which will help determine a patient's risk level in the future, there are some pretty basic factors, which point to a likely candidate.

Risk Factors For Patients

Women are more likely to experience these types of complications than men, as are smokers. There are numerous medications, which place patients at a higher risk for postoperative blood clots, including but not limited to hormone replacements and birth control pills. Weight plays a significant factor as does the level of activity the patient generally participates in. Patients who generally lead a sedentary lifestyle are at a higher risk. Obese patients are at an even higher risk. Increased age and a previous history of deep venous thrombosis are more obvious risk factors. Patients who have a current diagnosis of cancer are at a particularly high risk.

Reducing the Risk Factors for Safer Surgery

Whenever a patient is booked for surgery in my practice, I always insist that they have a medical clearance by an internist to help determine their general risk level for elective surgery and the possibility of medical complications, which includes the risk of abnormal blood clotting. I also take into consideration the type of surgery that I am performing on the patient. In general, surgical procedures that have a longer operative time and involve body contouring carry a higher risk than those that are minimally invasive and are performed on the head and neck. The internist will review a list of current and recent medications, as I do myself, and will verify that the patient is physically fit to tolerate the procedure that is desired. There are still no guarantees, but knowing a patient's medical history, their obvious risk factors, and having a second pair of eyes look over the same information that I am presented with, ensures that I am taking all possible precautions.

I also use something known as pneumatic compression boots for every patient undergoing any surgical procedure and I urge other physicians to do so as well. These boots are able to keep the muscles of the lower extremities moving in a fashion similar to walking, which can help prevent blood clots. I insist that my patients carry on an active lifestyle, to help prevent DVT formation and to directly assist with both preoperative and postoperative care. Proper positioning in the operating room allows for additional prevention of blood clot formation as well.

Physicians and patients need to understand that the potential for serious complications related to cosmetic surgery can be devastating. Knowledge is power and education can help reduce the number of blood clots and such rare but devastating complications as strokes that occur after surgery. With current research and education practices, we should be able to reduce the number of post operative strokes and blood clots over the coming years.

Facts About Financing Plastic Surgery

2008-02-22T23:24:00.000-08:00

Author: Trina Rowde

In some cases, reconstructive plastic surgery may be covered by the patient's medical insurance. Getting a cosmetic plastic surgery however may be a procedure that you have to finance yourself using a loan.

Now, there are already several options for people who can't afford a cosmetic surgery. Before we look into those options, let's take a look at what else you should know about financing plastic surgery.

Don't Go for Bargains

You may be tempted to pick a surgeon who asks for less if you do not have clear options for financing plastic surgery. This is however, the worst possible mistake you could ever make. Plastic surgery costs are usually steeper if the surgeon who will conduct the procedure is already seasoned and an undisputed expert.An expensive doctor however is also more likely to be a safer option and eventually a more cost effective one. Cheap doctors may also have cheap services that may result in more financing plastic surgery problems because you would have to pay for corrective surgery on a botched up work.

Costs and Plans Vary

The extent of work to be performed, the type of procedure and the region you belong to are also some of the other factors that affect the cost of plastic surgery. Doctors and clinics will also therefore have different payments schemes or offers for financing plastic surgery. You would have to discuss this aspect as extensively as the procedure itself. Be warned that there may also be hidden costs or miscellaneous fees that you may not have asked about and may not be included in offers for financing plastic surgery.

No Plan Scheme

Some clinics and plastic surgeons don't allow financing plastic surgery or will not allow you to present loan or installment plans. Some patients may not immediately realize it but such a policy may be as much for the patient's advantage as it is theirs. This is because such a strict policy will ensure that a patient can truly afford the procedure and its corresponding after surgery costs.

Some clinics will even ask for a complete payment before a procedure to secure patient assurance. This may be potentially dangerous though especially if accidents happen.

Finance Companies and Banks

Now, there are already several finance companies and banks that provide options for financing the procedure. Individuals can now fill up forms for approval to cover cosmetic plastic surgery. Most companies will tell you that they have affordable and flexible rates but the truth is that applying for a loan may be a little more difficult than imagined especially in banks.

Plastic surgery loans are actually unsecured by collateral. This means that a bank or company may have to meticulously investigate your credit history and report to find out if you are capable of paying. Even if you do pass an application for financing plastic surgery, some companies may have higher interest rates than others simply because it is their only security if you are suddenly unable to pay.

How to Get Bigger Breasts Without Surgery - Who is it Working for and Why is it Working for Them

2008-02-20T23:37:00.000-08:00

Author: Paul Hegarty

You may be thinking of trying to enhance your breast naturally. In the back of your mind you may have some fears. I am not going to go into the psychological aspects of fear but needless to say you have some notions that are causing it.

Example you may fear surgery because of perceived complications and while you are considering the natural route you may fear popping pills all day that gets no results.

Now I have to be honest I am terrible when it comes to doctors. I am extremely squeamish. When I was a kid I almost fainted while watching rocky three. So I am biased when it comes to avoiding surgery. With that said the central fear we would both agree is not achieving the results we desire.

So I decided to visit a few communities to see if women were having success with natural techniques to enhance their breasts. In the event they are being successful I wanted to understand why.

Here is what I came across. Women who were successful using herbal supplements also incorporated other methods when taking these supplements to enhance their breasts. Secondly they also applied a cream. They did this exactly at the same time that they take the supplement.

These women also did exercises and incorporated a diet that is rich in estrogen. I came across multiple posts where women said they either cut down or cut out caffeine. These women started to see significant results in or around thirty to sixty days.

You could go out and read all sorts of information about why it works. However sometimes there can be a big divide between theory and practice as you know. For me it was more about who is it working for and if so why is it working for them. This at least provides some real proof that has no association to any given company therefore no bias.

Before you order anything make sure you get a guarantee and check to see if the ingredients are listed and if they have any clinical study background. Speak to a real person and make the best decision for you.

Breast Implants: How Can I Reduce the Risk of Capsular Contracture?

2008-02-20T23:34:00.000-08:00

Author: Patricia Woloch

Even though capsular contracture is rare, it is the most common complication of breast enlargement, and the one that women worry about the most. There are a few things that you and your cosmetic surgeon can do to reduce the risks.

Normal healing vs. hardening
Your body’s natural response to breast implants is to form a protective lining around them, called a capsule. This is a good thing, and helps keep them in exactly where you want them.

If that protective lining tightens or thickens, it’s called capsular contracture. It makes your breast hard, and it can distort its shape. It can also be very painful.

Why some breasts harden and some do not
Doctors don’t know for sure why some women experience capsular contracture and others never have a problem, but they have narrowed it down to some risk factors including:
· Autoimmune disorders
· Smoking
· Radiation therapy
· Severe trauma to the breast
· Hematoma
· Seroma
· Bacteria and infections
· Silicone molecules leaching into the capsule

Reducing your risk for capsular contracture
There are some choices you can make regarding your implants and the type of surgery you have, and some things that you can do at home which may help to prevent the problem.

· Massage and exercises after your surgery
Ask your cosmetic surgeon about massage techniques, pocket quadrant exercises, and compression exercises you can use at home to keep your breasts soft and the capsule flexible.

· Vitamin E
Taking Vitamin E can speed healing, reduce scaring, and help keep the capsule soft. It can also increase bleeding and shouldn’t be started right away. Ask your cosmetic surgeon when you should begin taking it and how much will be safe and effective for you.

· Implant type, texture, and placement
Choosing saline implants, implants with a textured surface, and placing implants behind the muscle can all reduce the chance of hardening. None of these choices should be based on the risk of capsular contracture alone.

· “No touch” surgery
The no touch technique is used to prevent even the smallest amount of bacteria getting in and being sealed in with your implant. Once the pocket is made it is washed out and coated in an antibiotic solution and everything, including the gloves your surgeon wears, the instruments, and the implant itself, that touches you after that is coated in the solution as well.

Most women who choose breast augmentation never have a problem. Even if you are considering a second breast enlargement surgery and experienced capsular contracture before, it does not mean you will experience it this time around.

Try Out your Breast Augmentation Before you Make it Permanent

2008-02-19T23:41:00.000-08:00

Author: Leaftech

Many women experience greater anxiety and difficulty making the decision to commit to a breast enhancement procedure than in actually lying down on the operating table. Although such a decision is, technically, not irrevocable, no one wants to put themselves in a position of facing a second operation just because they’ve changed their mind or don’t like the results of the first. Thankfully, a wide range of comfortable and realistic undergarment products are available to help a woman chose her new shape and to try it out for awhile before undergoing an actual enhancement surgery.

Women’s undergarments have come a long way since Howard Hughes designed a “lift and separate” bra for actress Jane Russell to wear in the film “The Outlaw,” and gone are the days when the best option for a better bust line involved the strategic stuffing of tissues or gym socks. Bra inserts come in many forms including those filled with water or natural oil to air-filled, foam, and silicone models. The latter is an especially good choice for wear with swimsuits in hot tubs or in either fresh or ocean water, although foam versions can be sewn inside a suit for maximum security of placement. When worn in a bra, inserts are typically placed in a specially constructed pocket, although many will comfortably stay in place at the base of a regular bra cup. Some inserts can even be attached with adhesive and used in the absence of a bra.

Not surprisingly, these devices come in a variety of shapes and sizes and in a wide price range from as low as $10 to as much as $75 to $100 for higher end products constructed of the most realistic materials and even outfitted with nipples for the most natural appearance. Inserts can be worn in addition to “push up” bras with wire framing that supports the breasts and positions them to create a deeper cleavage. Typically two pre-surgical avenues can be explored with such garments. A woman can experiment on her own and achieve a desired “look,” which she can wear to a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon to illustrate her personal goal for the surgery. By the same token, it’s common to ask the consulting surgeon to recommend appropriate inserts that will approximate the effects of a proposed procedure. This allows the woman to try out the change in her body until she’s comfortable with it or knows what alterations of the plan she’d like to discuss. It is not unusual for women who are on the fence about permanent augmentation to decide that the use of inserts for several months or longer is a better personal decision than actually going through with (and paying for) a surgery.

Either way such garments and others of the genre -- like padded shapewear, girdles, and waist cinchers -- are an important supporting tool in the field of breast enhancement and cosmetic surgery. Unlike mastectomy bras that are made of special materials that allow incisions to breath free of irritation and are constructed for maximum comfort in the face of limited mobility while healing, bra inserts are the best friend of the indecisive woman. Having a breast enhancement surgery is, in the vast majority of cases, an elective procedure and not one to be undergone lightly or without a trial run. The use of figure-enhancing undergarments is a win/win for both sides. The surgeon is protected because the woman knows what she’s getting and the woman is protected because the surgeon knows what she wants to get.

Peri-areola Breast Lift Surgery, is It Suitable for You?

2008-02-15T23:47:00.000-08:00

Author: Julie Walker

Before deciding to undergo any breast surgery, it is important to have a clear knowledge on what is to be done, the benefits, the possible risks and after effects. It is best to seek several consultations with different surgeons as different surgeons might be using different techniques, have different opinions, and will have different aesthetic preferences.

Let's look at Benelli Mastopexy (Peri-Areola breast lift) breast enhancement surgery.

Peri-Areola breast lift is one of the several techniques for breast lift whereby the scars are designed around the areola. It is useful for women with a projecting nipple/areola complex (sometimes called torpedo or missile shaped breasts), and can also be used to reduce the size of the areola at the same time.

To be suitable for Benelli Mastopexy, the patient must be in good health, and not have any active diseases or pre-existing medical conditions.

Due to the natural stretching and sagging of the breast skin after pregnancy, it is highly recommend that the patient waits until she no longer wants to have any additional children before having the surgery.

A patient can be more satisfied with the results of the surgery if there is sufficient communication between the surgeon and the patient. It is critical to be able to voice your desires to your surgeon, so that he/she will be able to better understand your needs and create a better result that you desire.

This technique removes a donut shaped piece of tissue around the areola during the surgery, and scars are normally found around the areola. Surrounding tissues of the breasts are normally stitched to the areola. The results after the surgery will be a flatter, rounder breast. Sometimes, to compensate for the lifting effect when the breast tissues are stitched, a little more tissue is being removed above the areola.

Although there are great benefits with Benelli Mastopexy, the customers also need to understand the different risk associated with it. The risks includes the breast being asymmetry as there are no definite promises during a surgery; hyper - pigmentation could form due to bruising; hematoma and seroma could occur, which led to another/other surgeries needed for rectifying of problems. There will be an altered sensation of the nipple/areola, which are found to be temporary. In rare cases, there will be loss of blood supply to the nipple or skin sections that were reattached. Thus, needing reconstruction.

A number of online web site functions commercially, this make it possible for them not to disclose all information about the complications and risks of breast surgery. It is important to collate information from different sources as it could aid in your final decision-making.

You may want to consider and try natural breast enhancement before spending money and risks the implication going for breast enhancement surgeries.

The above information is found in Ms Yvonne Lee, internationally acclaimed book "To All Women Who Want To Enhance Their Breasts Naturally, But Don't Know How To Start". It describes and details the most important breast enhancement techniques from every corner of the world.

A Closer Look at Breast Implants

2008-02-10T23:49:00.000-08:00

Author: Janet Martin

The rise in the popularity of voluptuous bodies and extremely big breasts in Hollywood has made the breast augmentation industry boom in just a couple of decades. Before, only women who were aspiring to become television and movie celebrities took the risks of getting breast implants; nowadays, almost every member of the female population, regardless of age and ethnicity, wishes to enhance her breasts.

If you are one of the those who want to supersize their boobs, then you need to have a deeper understanding of what you are getting yourself into, which can include breast implant dangers.

In a breast augmentation operation, the doctor inserts an implant, which is made either from silicone or saline, inside your breasts. A lot of women choose silicone rather than saline implants because the former feels and looks more natural. Although the saline ones are cheaper, it is no longer popular because of its high risk of bursting; nobody would want to wake up with one deflated breast. Here are some other problems you might encounter when having breast augmentation:

Finding A Reputable Cosmetic Surgeon

At present, almost 190,000 of the estimated 1.5 million women who had undergone surgical breast augmentation have had complaints about the procedures. Moreover, there have also been 123 reported deaths linked to this procedure. Many of the casualties actually came as a result of getting breast surgery from individuals who are not licensed to do so. Since getting breast enhancement in top clinics can be very expensive, many women are attracted to clinics that offer very cheap services. Unfortunately, the facilities that offer dirt-cheap prices for such a dangerous operation are usually run by unscrupulous individuals, so you should be very cautious.

Health Complications

Since this is a surgical procedure, there is always a risk of infection and other potentially lethal complications, such as the Toxic Shock Syndrome, a type of bacterial infection you can get from wounds and surgical procedures.

Many women with breast implants also complain about misshapen or misplaced breasts. If you have saline implants, there is a high probability of bursting, so you will end up with uneven breasts. Sometimes, you don't just need one operation to make your boobs look perky and at the right position; many women have to undergo several procedures just to keep their breasts in place.

Furthermore, silicone or saline breast implants usually interfere with mammogram results; this procedure is one of the most effective ways to check if you have cysts or tumors in your breasts. Thus, people with implants do not only have to pay more for a mammogram, but also must accept the fact that the results of the test may not be accurate and reliable.

Lastly, some say that breast implants can cause certain types of cancer. Although there is really no definitive link between implants and cancers, it is still not advisable to downplay the risks.

Difficulty in Getting Health Insurance

The cost of medical procedures and visits to the doctor is steadily increasing. Thus, it is really wise to get a good medical insurance coverage. However, if you have breast implants, there is a big possibility that insurance companies will decline to give you coverage. If ever you get a medical insurance, it would probably not include breast-related check ups and procedures.

Before deciding to get a surgically implanted breasts, you should think thoroughly about the idea because there are a lot of complications that you have to face. Furthermore, there are many ways in which you can enhance your boobs even without surgery. For fuller and bigger breasts, you can always rely on padding and undergarments with underwire and other maximizing devices. You can also opt to take breast enhancement supplements, such as Clevastin. If you want to know more about this breast-augmentation product, click on http://www.clevastin.com/.
