What is the correct name for this cosmetic surgery procedure? Hello everyone! I have made a (rather badly drawn) diagram of the before and after of the procedure (for a male face); http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7803/malefaceqy3.png The procedure usually takes around 3 hours to complete, 3 years of dental work is usually required beforehand. In 'my words', it's makes the bit between the bottom of your nose and the top of your chin come forward, this creates a more masculine looking effect. I have completely forgotten what the doctor called it and was wondering if anyone knew. Many thanks for your help!

How to writing argumentative essay about cosmetic surgery? I started writing the Intro and the first paragraph, anybody got suggestion for further improvement or ideas as to what i could write next? In Cosmetics now a day’s, plastic surgery has become an extremely popular and powerful procedure for people and especially for woman, to fit in their ‘Beauty of Culture’ of gender, race, ethnics and Social class. It pressures people to appear more physically attractive to model ideals, and more socially accepted in society. That and with some other people in there futile attempts of meeting these ideals with dieting and exercising, drives them to physically alter there appearance by plastic surgery. People that are going to take the risks of being under the knife should strongly reconsider.

Is this corrective or Cosmetic surgery? I'm a little curious about what determines whether a procedure is cosmetic or corrective. I was enquiring about breast augmentation and my insurance company said they would only cover it if it was a corrective procedure ie. I had a mastectomy, or there was a significant difference (2+cup sizes) in the size of each breast, or deformity etc. I breast fed 3 children and my breasts have suffered for it (those who have breast fed know what I mean) so isn't that considered a corrective procedure as you are correcting damage? What do you think?
Where can I share and learn about Plastic Surgery Experiences? I've had one reconstructive procedure (correction of deviated septum) and one cosmetic plastic surgery procedure.

Cosmetic Surgery. Is it really risky to undergo lip reduction and chin augmentation?

What is the percentage of having successful from unsuccessful operations- that is the risk of having permanent numbness...

Cosmetic surgery while on vacation with your child? During the first 6 weeks of summer, my hubby's ex-wife has custody of our oldest daughter. She is allowed to take her out of the country for up to 2 weeks during that time per the custody agreement. She is Peruvian and has family there that our daughter sees every 5 years or so. This summer while they are visiting the mother plans on reversing a few cosmetic procedures she had done. My husband and I feel that this is ridiculous because with any surgery there is a risk factor. What if something happened to her? What if the surgery went wrong? Or even if it went fine but she needs a few days of recovery? Our daughter doesn't speak any Spanish at all and does not know her Peruvian relatives very well. They currently have on open case on file and will be going before the judge soon. She did not show up for their mandatory mediation. Should my husband bring this up to the judge at their final hearing? Just to clarify, my question is not should my husband discuss this with his ex. He definately will. We just want to know if it should be brought to the court's attention while he is already there. That way it can be noted and documented.
Anyone become addicted to cosmetic procedures? I have a lot of body hair, am loosing scalp hair, have dark undereye circles due to genetics, have developed a fat face etc... and am getting cosmetic procedures or plan to get them in the future to help me combat these problems. I do not need advice about accepting oneself etc...because I have tried and not succeeded. I would be interested in hearing from people with these kinds of problems (especially those who had hair transplants) or even with other problems that required cosmetic surgery (e.g., Botox, liposuction and so on). Is cosmetic surgery addictive? Were you happy with your results? Or did you find a way to accept yourself and not mind looking bad in pictures? If you accepted yourself instead of developing BDD (like I seem to be), did it take a long time to get confident with your appearance? Did you find a girlfriend (or boyfriend) once you finally became confident with your appearance? Or did you develop confidence as a result of successful cosmetic surgery?
In regards to writing off cosmetic surgery? I had a breast augmentation done. It has created a stronger sense of self-esteem, and self worth.

With these results, is there a chance of a tax deduction for the procedure?

POLL: Should insurance pay for cosmetic procedures like circumcision? I know that insurance does not usually pay for any type of cosmetic surgery, but it does pay for newborn circumcision, which IS cosmetic, since it is NOT medically necessary and may actually do much more harm than good. Since it is a $200M a year industry and affects EVERYONE'S premiums, do you think it should be covered by insurance?
Should parents be allowed to perform cosmetic surgery on children without their consent?

Does anyone offer FREE cosmetic surgeries? New doctors have a hard time starting up (so to speak) and I was wondering if any doctors offer FREE cosmetic procedures to patients willing to let them do a surgery to get their practice going..... kinda like cosmetologists at vocational schools who give free hair services to give them practice. Ok, I read the answers posted thus far and NONE of them answer the question I asked..... I didn't want advice, just an answer to my question. Don't assume that I was looking for free surgery, I was just wondering if it was done or not.

Cosmetic Surgery not really helping meet better guys? I'm 27 going on 28 and have had trouble meeting men who meet my level of standards, I'm college educated with a masters degree, I have a very good income level and for a long time I wondered why I couldn't meet the right kinds of guys. For a while I felt like perhaps my appearence was part of the problem though my friends and family told me it wasn't. Well, I've had a few cosmetic procedures done and it's been almost a year since I've had work done and I'm not really having any better luck. I've tried dating sites, personals, being set up by friends and nothing really works, I haven't had a "serious" relationship since I was 19 and have had numerous bad experiences meeting people. Some have said that perhaps my standards are set too high on the kinds of men I'm willing to meet (this is in part due to some bad past experiences). Does anyone have any other suggestions on what I should do to change my approach? It was just minor stuff involving my nose which wasn't completely straight, it wasn't SERIOUS cosmetic surgery but I had the idea in my mind that it was part of the problem.

Is cosmetic surgery getting out of hand? Everyone has issues with their bodies, including me, and I do believe that some need it and are entitled to it. But why should relatively normal and healthy people be allowed to have it just because they have money, or can borrow money, to pay for it? I would also question the ethics of the people who perform these procedures for profit and the minds of people who go through this to massage their egos and tend to their own vanity. I have no interest in cosmetic surgery. I'm happy with my body and the woman in my life loves me the way I am.

Orthognathic surgery vs. cosmetic options? I'm contemplating orthognathic surgery as well as some other orthodontic and cosmetic procedures. I have an underbite (class 3 malocclusion) and am missing a tooth (was just born without it) so as a result, I also have spaces in my top teeth. I'm also looking into veneers to correct the size and shape of my teeth. My concern is more cosmetic (dental implant, invisalign to fix the spacing, and veneers on almost all my top teeth). However, I'm concerned about not fixing my bite via the corrective surgery before i begin the process. I've seen orthodontists and cosmetic dentists, and was wondering what options anyone with similar issues have pursued? Anyone with experiences with invisalign to correct an underbite, or the jaw surgery? Also, I'm having a hard time convinving my HMO to pay for the surgery. Should I just go for the cosmetic changes? Should I listen to my orthodontist and go for the surgery? Anyone who can reccomend a dentist in San Diego gets bonus points!

Cosmetic Surgery? A lady in her late 40's went to a plastic surgeon for a face lift. The doctor told her of a new procedure called "The dial" where a small dial is planted on the back of the head and can be turned to tighten up the skin to produce the effect of a facelift. Of course, the woman wanted "The dial", had the surgery and all was well. Fifteen years later the woman went back to the surgeon. "All these years everything had been working just fine.", she started, "I've had to turn the dial on lots of occasions and I've loved the results. But I seemed to have developed two annoying problems with my face." "Go on" the doctor said. "First of all", she continued, "I've got these terrible bags under my eyes and the dial won't get rid of them." The doctor looked at her and said, "I'm afraid those aren't bags, those are your breasts." She replied, "Ah, I guess that explains the goatee."

Very important question about my furute career in Cosmetic Surgery....? Hello, im 18 and I will be attendning St.John's University next month as a freshman. I was going to become a Pharmasist but I changed my mind. Im really into the medicine field. Such as Cosmetic Surgens. I would like to know what are the procedures to become a COSMETIC SURGEN. I heard that I have to take my core classes and then classes on chem. and bio. and then go to medical school to become a Doctor MD and then go to some type of surgery school. Im clueless about this with such a sudden change in career choices. My passion is truley with making people feel better about thier appearance. Please I need to know step by step how to pursue this. It would be even better if a cosmetic surgen would answer my question with in depth analysis. ONLY serious replys please, to a SERIOUS question. Thank you.
Affordable Cosmetic Surgery? Every human that lives will suffer from the effects of aging. Cosmetic surgeons can not stop the sure and certain death that aging brings, but they do have the power to slow down the systems of aging. Note to some: Having cosmetic surgery does not make you plastic(most procedures remove not add) and it doesn't mean you don't like yourslef, but means you want to be the best you can be. I have done a lot of reading online about various procedures, and from what I have read, most should be very easy for a trained doctor. Yet the prices for all of it are just insane!!! Are there any doctores that charge a price that the average working person can afford? If not, why not? Charging less would help so many people!!! From what I have seen online, the cost are about 5 times what they should be!!! The way it is now, rich people get to live, poor people just get to work, get old and die!!! Having cosmetic surgery does not mean you do not like yourself, as the outward self is not who you are. Having your breasts enlarged is no different, than having a mole removed. I like who I am as a person, but at the same time I would like to make change to the outer shell so I can simply look better. It is true nothing about who I am will change, but I would look better in a swim suit. I find it silly to not change things you can change. In this day and age it does not make sense to accept things about yourself that you do not like as they are too easy to change. When I say I would like to find an affordable surgeron, I don't mean I am looking to find someone that is working out of thier basement, but more someone that isn't blowing a bunch of money on a fancy office, but rather has a nice clean basic practice, and they aren't greedy!!!

Would you trust going through blepharoplastic surgery? Its a cosmetic surgery on the eyes.? To elaborate, blepharoplasty is a procedure to reshape the outlines of the eye, whether its the upper or lower eyelid. Many ppl have been through cosmetic surgery, and knowing the risks that are involved with it, I'm wondering how others might feel if they were to go through blepharoplasty. I'm thinking of doing it, but knowing that its involving my eyes, I'm not too sure if I should really trust this kind of procedure. How safe is it? And please, no answers like "It shouldn't matter how u look on the outside, its how u feel on the inside" nothing like that please. Thanks
Would the military pay for cosmetic surgery for a spouse? My friend is considering getting breast implants. Her husband active duty military ( Air Force). It doesn't look like the military will pay for her breast implants, but is it possible that she can get a lower rate? I guess if her hubby wanted some form of cosmetic surgery it would be paid for, but she doesn't think look like she would be covered. Couldn't she just go to a base doctor and pay a lower rate for the procedure? I'm asking because, if she can find an affordable way to get the implants, we're getting them together! :) Any military info anyone? Thanks

The military does pay for cosmetic surgery for active duty members, so if you're peeved by that fact, take it up with someone else. And I will be getting my new boobs regardless, it's my friend that may need to come up with a different outlet. Does anyone have any information that I don't already have? Thanks
Pro bono cosmetic surgery? Is anyone aware of any cosmetic surgeons in the Atlanta, GA area who do certain procedures pro bono (or at least at a reduced rate)? I don't mean totally superficial stuff (face lifts, nose jobs, etc.), but surgeries to remove excess skin after having gastric bypass surgery.
Are there any cosmetic surgery financing companies w/ loans, credit to those wanting cosmetic procedures? Loans / Lines of credit for those wanting cosmetic procedures? Taking down payments, as collateral , or special circumstances such as these?
Cosmetic surgery to hide dimple on chin? I have a weirdly shaped chin and was trying to find out what sort of procedures may help my appearance. My chin receeds slightly. It is weirdly shaped because I have a pretty deep dimple and so it looks as if my chin is a doughnut of flesh with eveything around it receeding. Whats more is that it is not quite symetrical either. I also have a double chin that appears quite easily depending on the position of my head/jaw/neck, which is weird since i'm a very skinny girl, I should have a better defined jawline. What type of cosmetic surgery could correct this and give me a smooth chin and bring balance to my face. Would an implant or injections do the trick??? Please, I don't care about your "plastic surgery is a waste of money" or "learn to accept yourself" comments. This is a serious question, I only want serious answers. Thanks!

Anyone become addicted to cosmetic procedures? I have a lot of body hair, am loosing scalp hair, have dark undereye circles due to genetics, have developed a fat face etc... and am getting cosmetic procedures or plan to get them in the future to help me combat these problems. I do not need advice about accepting oneself etc...because I have tried and not succeeded. I would be interested in hearing from people with these kinds of problems (especially those who had hair transplants) or even with other problems that required cosmetic surgery (e.g., Botox, liposuction and so on). Is cosmetic surgery addictive? Were you happy with your results? Or did you find a way to accept yourself and not mind looking bad in pictures? If you accepted yourself instead of developing BDD (like I seem to be), did it take a long time to get confident with your appearance? Did you find a girlfriend (or boyfriend) once you finally became confident with your appearance? Or did you develop confidence as a result of successful cosmetic surgery?

Can anybody give me information on cosmetic surgery for my teeth and jaw? Ever since I was a little girl I have had extremely crooked teeth, a wide gap, and a severe overbite. It is so bad that I have never even been able to completely close my lips because my teeth are in the way. I now have braces and have undergone a surgery that removed 2 teeth with dead roots, and exposed 2 teeth that were impacted. But because these teeth are still growing in, and they are in the front, i look like I am missing teeth and I feel like I have made little to no progress after a year and a half. I have a very low self esteem because of my teeth but I know that if they were fixed I could be bautiful. I'm almost 19 and I don't want to still have braces when I graduate from college. I'm considering having them fixed cosmetically so they can all be done in one or two sittings. Is there anybody who can give me information about price estimates, procedures, dangers, or past experiences with a similar procedure? Any information at all would be an awesome help!

Cosmetic Surgery-NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!!? So I tried to get financing through Capital One and was told no. Is there any other way to get the procedure done? If I was denied for this one, does that mean I can't get it done? Are there any places I can go to that will do the loan for those of us who don't have high credit scores? I have seen these places, but did not know if they were credible. I am wanting to get breast augmentation which I have been quoated 6052.60. How much do these places charge up-front? My credit score is not low, but it is not too high either. I tried that doctorssayyes.com and it did WONDERFUL!

How safe and reliable is cosmetic surgery in JAPAN? Blepharoplasty to be exact. I've been wanting to get blepharoplasty for quite some time now (cosmetic reasons). And looking at the choices, there are: America Canada and... India Though I've been doing a lot and research and noticed that blepharoplasty is popular in Japan. If you watch a lot of Japanese entertainment, you'll notice that especially Japanese female singers have gotten blepharoplasty. So I was wondering, should I go to Japan to have blepharoplasty? I mean the procedure there should be more safer there then anywhere else because its a much more of a common procedure. And does anyone know of English sites pertaining to cosmetic Oh thats right. My apologies, blepharoplasty is eye surgery in which you want to change the outline of your eyes. Srry, I should of explained it in the question.

Low Cost Cosmetic Surgery in the United States? First of all the way I see it, what makes up a person is their values, their beliefs and how they treat others in life. The body is a "house" for the person. As a result it is very possible to like yourself, but not be very happy with the "house" you live in. With today's procedures that can correct almost anything, it does not make sense to live in a "house" you are not happy with. I am such a person. I like the person I am but am not very happy with the "house" I find myself in. I have checked out a number of sites that offer low cost cosmetic surgery in other countries. Does anyone know locations in the United States that over reasonibly priced dental implants, face lifts, breast implants, and other procedures and will finance over time. To those that insist cosmetic surgery means you don't like yourself, keep in mind your physical body isn't truly who you are, and is just a shell that you live in. Cosmetic surgery doesn't change the person, but the shell. I guess I should clarify. I don't mean cheap, but reasonably priced cosmetic surgery anywhere in the United States. From what I have read the prices are lower in smaller towns. Would be more than willing to travel for a better price. I agree most of the time you get what you pay for, but that doesn't seem to be the case with cosmetic surgery. There just seems to be a lot of greed. On one hand if you go to most any site that deals with cosmetic surgery they make the procedures sound simple, but yet want to charge a small fortune for everything!!! The breast enlargement really seems over priced. The average cost where I live seems to be around $5,000. Seems like a lot to insert a couple of bags of salt water into a person's chest!!!

Why are blood tests standard procedure prior to surgeries/operations? I was wondering why doctors do numerous blood tests prior to surgeries and operations? A friend of mine recently had some cosmetic work done and she had at least two or three blood tests done in the days leading up to the procedure. Do the doctors need to know whether the blood is healty in terms of its contents (bacteria/viruses)? What do they test for in some cases? Thank you, Alex
What do you think of Paris Hilton's plastic surgery? From:http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2007-01-22/#3 Has Hilton Damaged Her Eyelids? Hotel heiress Paris Hilton reportedly visited a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles earlier this week in a bid to fix her 'drooping' left eyelid. The 25-year-old was allegedly left with muscle damage in her left eye after a botched eyelid lift operation six years ago, and the damage has reportedly been worsened by her fondness for wearing blue-tinted contact lenses over her naturally brown eyes. A source tells PageSix.com, "(Her eyes) have been drying out lately. She is ignoring doctors' orders to not wear her tinted contacts." However, Hilton's representative Elliot Mintz denies the rumors, insisting, "To the best of my knowledge, Paris has never had any kind of cosmetic surgery and has not mentioned any medical procedures having to do with her eyes."

Cosmetic ear surgery otoplasty? what is the average price to have the procedure done for both ears done, to pin back prominent ears?
Will laser hair removal show up on my medical record? I got laser hair removal about four years ago. It was a terrible idea, in hindsight. Not only was it ineffective, but it was extremely expensive. Today, I'm embarrased to have even considered this option. I'm always railing against cosmetic surgery and superficiality, and I feel like a complete hypocrite now. (I was convinced to do it by a series of pressures I won't go into now). Anyway, will this procedure show up on my permanent medical record? Do any cosmetic procedures, for that matter? I'm worried that any future employer who checks my medical record might pre-judge me based on this, perhaps thinking I'm a vapid person. Thank you for your help!
Am I turning my back on my morals? As a Pagan, I have always been a firm believer in Nature. This is especially true in the case of cosmetic surgery. I have always held myself in high regards because I had never in the past even thought of recieving any kind of cosmetic procedure other than braces for my teeth. But let's face it shall we? At some point in a person's life, they are going to look at themselves and think "wow you look like crap" As a young teenager, I was an amateur model. Granted, I was a petite girl and had lots of potential as a model, but it never really took off. Then, as puberty took its full and hateful effect, I began to gain weight as girls naturally do. Ever since, I have stayed in perfect health (except I'm a smoker) but my backside, tummy and breasts aren't what they used to be. I've battled with eating disorders, running the line from eating too much to not eating at all. Now, I'm healthy and working towards my goal in the right way, yet I see my efforts not working. Then I went to Google... I began looking up procedures. I began to like what I saw, and then consider the operation for myself. But then I thought, "What are you doing?! You always protested against this type of thing!" My major hang up with cosmetic surgery was the idea of putting something foreign in the body. But I look at the procedures that I want. Nothing unnatural is going in. They are just rearranging or removing parts of what I already have. Am I wrong if I go through with it? Or is it ok since it is my own body material that is being implanted and not a piece of plastic? I have a realistic view of what I want these surgeries to achieve. I recognize that no one is perfect and even with the help of a scalpel, no one will ever be perfect. Just some of these procedures would help me feel better about myself. I am debating over lipo of my abdomine, back and thighs; butt augmentation; breast lift; and birthmark removal. I have worked very hard to get to this point. I have pushed myself in so many ways to feel good about myself. But sometimes, diet and exercise just don't cut it visually. And to the guy that said I don't try hard enough and that's why I gave up the modeling, I fell in love. I was with my first true love and I was more worried about spending every waking second with him and knowing that he thought I was beautiful was enough for me. Every photo taken of me then was candid and happy, not brooding and posed. And lets face it, modeling agencies like their girls to be to-the-point and all business, not happy and care free and not caring if the world ended tomorrow... Ok, to get the point across, I am NOT lacking in the confidence department. I know I'm not the best looking girl in the world, but I am very pretty! If I weren't, would guys approach me in public to flirt? I am not overweight, I just have a few stubborn areas that no exercise I've tried (And trust me, I've tried alot) will get out. My breasts aren't so saggy that you'd imagine them in the scary walk-in-on-grandma nightmares, they are just very large and I was neglegent at a time I should have consistently worn bras. My *ss isn't flat or unshapely, just for some reason, it is FAR too defined and the areas where it seams into my thighs and back need to be softened. And the birthmarks, well, as long as I'm fixing what few problems I have, I might as well get rid of the discolorations in my skin that make people think I have trouble with hygiene (the marks are this shade of brown and the way it looks on my body, it looks similiar to when a child hasn't bathed for a time and dirt has caked)
