<p>This term Extreme Makeover comes from recent television shows about plastic surgery. It refers to the multiple surgeries that can be done during one surgical session, coordinated to improve a person’s body proportions or facial appearance.</p>
<p>Each Extreme Makeover is customized to a person’s particular needs. There are advantages to performing <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.awholenewme.com/combining_surgeries.html">several procedures in one session</a>:</p>
<p>· Surgical time is shorter</p>
<p>· Fewer incisions are necessary</p>
<p>· Cost is reduced</p>
<p>· There is one recovery period instead of several</p>
<p>With obesity such a widespread problem in recent years, plastic surgeries to reduce excess fat and skin have become very much in demand. Many Extreme Makeovers focus on this alone or on this in one body area along with enhancements in other body areas.</p>
<p>· Examples of Plastic Surgery Combinations</p>
<p>· A tummy tuck with breast augmentation</p>
<p>· Breast reduction with liposuction on the back or upper arms</p>
<p>· A body lift with a breast lift</p>
<p>· A tummy tuck with a thigh lift</p>
<p>· A facelift with neck liposuction</p>
<p>· A facelift with a brow lift (forehead lift) and eyelid surgery</p>
<p>Increasingly often, people request multiple plastic surgery procedures like this after they have had bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery is a procedure to modify the digestive tract so as to reduce food intake or food absorption. It is a last resort for treating obesity, performed after diet and exercise have failed to be effective.</p>
<p>A Gastric Bypass is an example of bariatric surgery, where a small area of the stomach is stapled off separately and the upper part of the small intestine is attached to it. This makes the stomach unable to hold as much food as before. A Gastric Bypass is not a new procedure, as it has been safely performed for about fifty years. Typical results are from 65 percent to 80 percent loss of the excess body weight. It can also reverse diabetes that was caused by obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease.</p>
<p><strong>Extreme Makeover Safety</strong></p>
<p>When multiple plastic surgery procedures are performed in one session, the patient has more to recovery from all at once. Dr. Richard Linderman, of <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.awholenewme.com/">Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of Indiana</a>, has performed many multiple plastic surgeries and is convinced there are limits on how extensive the work can be.</p>
<p>“Having performed multiple extreme makeovers in my 30 years of practice, I generally will limit the length of anesthesia to six hours,” he stated. “It has been shown that complications do increase as the length of an operation exceeds this time period.”</p>
<p>Recovery from an extreme makeover is longer than recovery from a single plastic surgery. but if you can set aside the time for that recovery, you will have saved surgery, anesthesia, and facility fees and possibly other costs as well such as those for professional nursing assistance during recovery.</p>
<p>An extreme makeover is not something to trust to an inexperienced plastic surgeon. Shop around and choose your plastic surgeon wisely, asking many questions until you are satisfied that the surgeon is knowledgeable, reliable, and highly experienced in the procedures you would like to have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Overview of Plastic Surgery</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Plastic Surgery is both an art and science. For the aesthetic or cosmetic plastic surgeon, perhaps the predominant factor is the art. This is the aspect of surgery in which concentration and interest are focused on the restoration and improvement of forms as well as function. The disorders that the plastic surgeon encounters may be the result of aging, cosmetic inferiority, congenital defect, trauma and prior surgical procedure that have a profound effect on human emotion or psychological structure. Aesthetic plastic surgery, though admittedly done on occasion to rehabilitate a particular part of the body, is mainly performed to rehabilitate the entire person. It stands that improvement in a person&#8217;s appearance, also improves a person’s self-image, and this in turn, provides a feeling of emotional and physical well- being.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Any cosmetic plastic procedure could be a worthwhile and extraordinary experience for both the patient and surgeon, if this is done in the light of surgical standards in term of safety. A Plastic Surgeon is both a Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgeon. And reconstructive Surgery is a prerequisite for all Plastic Surgery Training Program. Since the very root of almost all cosmetic/aesthetic procedure can be traced from early reconstructive procedures. Thus a plastic surgeon whose main interest is aesthetic plastic surgery, must also have a firm foundation on reconstructive surgery, to  better grasp on the basic principles and applications of aesthetic surgery. You ask from your doctor regarding his/her background or training in reconstructive surgery.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>A minimum of  6 to 8 years of formal training in burns, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery at an accredited institution after medical school is required before a physician could call himself a Plastic Surgeon.  This would include 3 to 5 years of General Surgery Program and 3 years of Burns, Cosmetic/Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery Training. In the Philippines, there are only few training institutions with plastic surgery program that are accredited and recognized by the local association of surgeons (Philippine College of Surgeons, Philippine Boards of Plastic and Philippine Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons). Nowadays, there are still many doctors (even non doctors) who are board-certified in other specialties but definitely not in plastic surgery, who perform cosmetic surgery procedures. With the complexity of the plastic surgery specialty, it is not enough for a surgeon to just undergo months or even a year of observership or training in an unaccredited establishment, to comprehend all the principles and applications in the field of plastic cosmetic surgery.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In order for you to attain the best results for the procedure you are interested without compromising your safety and health, we advice you to bring up all your concerns to a Certified Plastic Surgeon with proper qualifications and training in the field of Cosmetic/Aesthetic Surgery.</p>

<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Plastic Surgery is a multifaceted specialty that combines form, function, technique and principle. Not limited to the skin, plastic surgery may encompass any area of the body. While the details of various procedures are important, basic principles allow the plastic surgeon to solve unusual problems, to apply known procedures to other body parts, and to be innovative and change with times and with developing technology. These broad principle can be applied to simple skin excision or to complex free tissue transfer. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Plastic Surgery is both an art and science. For the aesthetic or cosmetic plastic surgeon, perhaps the predominant factor is the art. This is the aspect of surgery in which concentration and interest are focused on the restoration and improvement of forms as well as function. The disorders that the plastic surgeon encounters may be the result of aging, cosmetic inferiority, congenital defect, trauma and prior surgical procedure that have a profound effect on human emotion or psychological structure.

<p>&#8216;Plastic surgery&#8217; and &#8216;cosmetic surgery&#8217; are two important words to distinguish apart. Plastic surgery is a specialized type of surgery dedicated to the repair of bodily form and function. This includes both cosmetic surgery and reconstruction surgery. The term &#8216;cosmetic surgery&#8217; specializes on the improvement of appearance alone. Cosmetic surgery procedures are used in many other surgical disciplines such as dermatology, general surgery, plastic surgery, otolaryngology and oculoplastic surgery.</p>
<p>The terms &#8216;plastic surgery&#8217; and &#8216;cosmetic surgery&#8217; are very similar but they do have one important difference; Plastic surgery includes the repair of both form and function, it includes cosmetic surgery but also includes reconstructive surgery. Cosmetic surgery, however, specializes in the improvement of cosmetics alone. Many other surgical procedures require the use of cosmetic surgery. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Numerous case reports in the 1980s appeared to suggest a linkage between silicone gel implants and connective tissue diseases and symptoms. The principal connective tissue disorders included scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren syndrome, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and polymyalgia rheumatica. There was also a concern over the possibility that the implants were linked to breast cancer and problems in breast-fed newborns. In response to this, the US-FDA in 1992 issued a moratorium on silicone breast implants and restricts the use of the implants for breast reconstruction and clinical studies only.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Subsequently, a number of large, population-based retrospective studies were conducted to test the association between silicone breast implants and connective tissue disorders. All studies have concluded that there is no association between silicone breast implants and any connective tissue disease. In addition, since the moratorium on silicone breast implants, several studies have proved that these devices are safe and do not cause connective tissue disease, malignancy, or risk to breast-feeding infants. Furthermore, clinical studies conducted by the British Department of Health and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences both demonstrate that silicone breast implants are safe for pregnancy, lactation, and breast-feeding.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In 1999, a landmark report, undertaken by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that silicone implants do not cause major health problems such lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. And while no one can ignore the fact that silicone – and saline – breast implants may cause localized problems for some patients, numerous scientific studies over the years have shown that silicone gel-filled implants are both safe and effective for breast augmentation and reconstruction. In fact, silicone gel breast implants are widely used in 60 countries around the world including Europe, and now are available for use in the U.S. market.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration (FDA) announced November 17, 2006 the approval and availability of silicone gel-filled breast implants, ending a 14-year ban on the use of silicone implants for cosmetic breast surgery. Now all women over 22 years old seeking cosmetic breast augmentation and women seeking breast reconstruction surgery will be able to select silicone breast implants. The availability of silicone gel implants will create new options for women considering breast surgery for the first time and for those who have had previous surgeries but are seeking new replacements or revision.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.infoplasticsurgery.com/breast/augmentation/index.html"></a>Silicone breast implants<a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.infoplasticsurgery.com/breast/augmentation/tips.html"></a> offer several advantages over saline implants. They also have some disadvantages, so you and your surgeon should carefully weigh the pros and cons, if you are considering this option.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The major benefits of silicone breast implants are in the realm of a more natural look and feel. These implants are filled with silicone gel, which is softer and more natural (in the way it feels to the touch) than saline breast implants. They feel so soft and natural, that it is often impossible to discern them from natural breast tissue.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Rippling is far less likely to occur in women with silicone implants than in women with saline implants. This is because silicone gel is far more viscous (thicker) than saline, so it does not move or slosh, as saline can. Silicone implants can be placed over the muscle in women with little body fat or little breast tissue without the aesthetic concerns (rippling) associated with placing saline implants over the muscle in these women.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many forms of online advertising and marketing within the Cosmetic Industry these days. Some seem rather simple and straight forward, others, not so much. Though no single method of advertising or marketing can give you 100% guaranteed results, all of the different avenues combined can bring your online conversions up to the “successful” range.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here are 6 tips for increasing your website’s conversion ratio from click to lead or even a patient:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tip # 1:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Your website must be simple to use and easy to navigate. Avoid lots of clutter and flashing and distracting images and ads. It visually confuses and distracts the visitor and makes them simply want to click away. If you have a lot of content, try to create sub-tabs to clean the navigation bar up if you are not able to eliminate some of the excess content all together.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tip # 2:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“What’s in it for me?” This is a golden rule for any type of marketing, which should be the goal of your website’s landing page. People coming to your site want to know what is in it for them. Use a UVP (Unique Value Proposition) to answer this question. A UVP sets you apart from your competitors by offering value to your product or service. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tip# 3:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why should they choose you out of the other 100 Doctors offering similar procedures and costs?  Here’s what you do; once you make your offer, establish yourself as an authority. Give your visitors reasons why you qualify as an “expert in the industry”. Sample of this: “With over twenty-five years experience, and accredited by such and such Association, I have helped thousands of patients realize their desire for youth and beauty.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tip # 4:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Offer monthly or quarterly newsletters through your website. Sometimes potential patients want to research for a bit before making their final decision. By offering a newsletter that they can sign up for, you are essentially giving them ongoing information and will ultimately win their favor. A good idea with your newsletters is to require potential clients to provide you with at least their email address in order to receive it. Save this information and once a quarter, send out a newsletter formatted with some basic information, and a way to contact you with any questions. For many consumers it is a matter of timing. Not all people are ready to make a decision now, however, by staying in front of them on a quarterly basis, when they are ready, they will think of you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tip # 5</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Offer an incentive to call you now. Create a sense of urgency. You have uncluttered your home page, you provide a quarterly newsletter, now you need to offer an incentive for someone to contact you sooner rather than later. Not all services are alike so you can perhaps start by offering a FREE analysis to the first 25 people who contact your office. Letting them know that there is a $x fee associated with this. Or if it is around Christmas, you will give a FREE facial to everyone who comes in the month of December. It goes along with the festive season and people like FREE. Another way is by presenting the incentivized information in the form of a downloadable coupon on your site, it gives them the visual cue that time is limited prompting them to contact you now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tip # 6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have an FAQ (frequently asked questions) section on your website. Similar to the newsletter concept, sometimes people are seeking information before they make a decision. If you have a resource section with free articles, or an FAQ section where perhaps their questions have been addressed, they begin to see you as an Advisor as opposed to someone simply trying to peddle their services.  You are obviously an expert in your field and have taken the time to consider their concerns without the pressure of a face-to-face meeting. By providing these types of resources, a consumer can return time and again to read about the various services and products you provide and not only come to you when they are ready to move forward, but also have a source to tell their friends and family about. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We all know it takes time and effort to develop a website presence. However, promoting a website that is cluttered and cumbersome to use can actually cause more harm than good. By following these simple tips, you will see a higher percentage of people converting to leads; giving you more opportunities to convert them to actual patients. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Plastic surgery requires thoughtful preparation. Take plenty of time, learn as much as you can and make the right decision for you. The following advice will assist you in mentally preparing for plastic surgery. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mentally Prepare for Plastic Surgery With Research</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>If you are considering plastic surgery, it’s important to make an informed decision. Start with some self-directed research on the procedure of interest to you. Internet research offers a wealth of resources for answers to the many questions and concerns you may have.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Refer to Web sites like DocShop.com for informative articles and recent news about plastic surgery. Discover the risks and benefits. Find out about cost and financing options. You can also get assistance locating a plastic surgeon in your area. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Know What Makes a Good Candidate for Plastic Surgery</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Contrary to a misguided notion, a good candidate for plastic surgery possesses a positive self-image. Dissatisfaction with a particular aspect of appearance is a normal occurrence. The best candidate views plastic surgery as beneficial, not detrimental. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Plastic surgery can restore confidence and maintain self-image. However, the proper candidate has realistic expectations and a firm understanding for the benefits and limitations of the cosmetic procedure at hand. Physical health and emotional well-being are necessary elements for success with plastic surgery.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mentally Prepare for Plastic Surgery With a Consultation</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>A consultation with a medical professional is required prior to plastic surgery. Be forthright and explain your dissatisfaction and desired outcome. Proper communication ensures that you and the cosmetic surgeon are on the same page.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Confidence in the capability of your cosmetic plastic surgeon, the medical staff and operating facility is crucial in order to prepare for plastic surgery mentally. Verify credentials and check for board certification through an accredited organization, such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Ask the plastic surgeon for details regarding his or her experience with the specific procedure at hand. It may be helpful to look at a portfolio of plastic surgery photos as a demonstration of the surgeon’s expertise. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Preparing for Plastic Surgery: Realistic Expectations and Mental Stability</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The cosmetic surgeon will explain the benefits of plastic surgery in terms of realistic results. Following a thorough medical exam, the doctor will explain potential risks in detail. Ask questions about any thing that is unclear.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Be prepared to answer personal questions regarding work, home and relationships. The doctor will want to evaluate emotional stability in order to move forward with the procedure. Cosmetic plastic surgery is not recommended for patients under considerable stress or in the midst of traumatic events. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mentally Prepare for Plastic Surgery: Understand the Recovery Period</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Depending on the plastic surgery procedure, recovery can prove somewhat challenging. In some cases, there may be discomfort, including bruising and swelling. Certain surgical procedures require that patients remain in bed for a number of days, followed by limited activity. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Following postoperative directions and being prepared for emotional challenges can ensure a positive recovery. Post surgical depression is a common experience for many patients. In most cases, depression subsides within a few days. Patients must also understand that results from plastic surgery occur gradually.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mentally Prepare for Plastic Surgery: Emotional Support</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Enlist the support of a trustworthy friend during the early postoperative period. Physical assistance around the house may be necessary to guarantee that you receive the appropriate amount of rest. However, emotional support is just as vital for a more positive recovery experience. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Though cosmetic plastic surgery is an elective procedure, it should be taken seriously. Understand the permanence of the procedure and think carefully before making a decision. Visit DocShop.com for more advice on how to prepare for plastic surgery mentally.</p>
