Why Do Women Want Larger Breasts

By Eric Cho

Breasts have been a topic of discussion for years with many wondering why women want larger breasts. There are many reasons, some of which are shallow and purely cosmetic but many that go much deeper, right down to the self confidence of a woman.

The size of the breasts a woman will have in her adult years begins to develop during puberty and by the time she has reached her early twenty’s the breasts are fully developed. There is a misconception that body fat is a requirement for large breasts so that the more fat there is on the body of a woman the larger her breasts will be. And although body fat does play a small role in breast size, genetics plays a much larger role, which is why thin girls can have large breasts without having implants.

Women seeking to have a breast enlargement are generally healthy, younger and have secondary education, thus a higher socio-economic status. Many of these women are not happy with their appearance and may have suffered years of teasing resulting in low self esteem. Other reasons for choosing to have a breast augmentation include the loss of volume to the breast after a pregnancy, reduction of breast mass after losing weight, a difference in size between the two breasts, breast cancer, and simply not being happy with their small breast size.

Some women complain of difficulty finding clothing that fit properly because of a torso that is not properly proportioned and having a breast enlargement can correct the problem. Other women lack self confidence as a result of small breasts and seek out a breast augmentation to feel better about themselves.

The majority of patients who seek out a breast enlargement are immediately happy with the results. They remain happy at the 2 year mark, as well as the 5 year anniversary. Even women who have had to have surgery again due to complications still remain positive about the experience. Studies indicate an increasing number of women choosing to go back for larger implants within just a few years of the original augmentation.

Implants date back to 1895 when adipose tissue was used to change the shape or size of the breast. In 1889 an attempt to inject paraffin met with fatal results. The early 1900s saw many other substances tried. Some were very radical such as glass balls, ivory, and terylene wool, and formaldehyde polymer sponges. None of which were successful.

The 1950s through to the 1960s saw silicone injections become very popular but these also met with disastrous results with breasts hardening and in some cases the damage was so severe the women had to undergo mastectomies.

Today the implants are not only safe they are very effective leaving the woman with many breast augmentation options relating to the size and shape of the breast. The implant has an outer layer of firm elastic silicone and the inside is either filled with saline which is just salt water or silicone gel. There is less than a 10% chance of leakage and with saline it is simply absorbed within the body causing no ill health problems. The implants should last at least 10 years.

Prior to the surgery the size and shape of the new breasts are discussed with the surgeon. The procedure is very safe however the surgeon will discuss the few possible side effects that occur occasionally such as tenderness, pain, and some swelling for the first few days as well as a burning sensation in the nipple for a month or so until everything has healed up properly. A decision will also be made relating to the incision type. Options include inframammary, periareolar, transaxilary, transabdominoplasty, or transumbilical.

The reason why women want larger breasts is a very personal thing. Whatever the reason, breast augmentation is a safe and effective way to get the exact breasts a woman wants.

Easy Tips To Have Beautiful, Soft And Clean Feet

By Syd Hs

A person spends a lot of time each day walking or standing on his feet. Still we tend to neglect them. In order to take proper care of your feet follow these tips:

(i) Exercising :

The first important point to remember is to buy shoes of right size and also consider the length of heels. It is preferable to buy shoes in the afternoon or evening when the feet are swollen from the day's walking so that you get the right size.

Next important point to remember is to exercise your feet. Just because you have been walking all day long that does not mean your feet have been exercised. You need to relax your tired feet muscles. Sit comfortably in a chair and clench your toes, then relax them - do this about 5-10 times each day. Next draw circles in the air with your feet, one foot at a time - first in clockwise direction then in anti-clockwise direction. This strengthens the ankle muscles.

(ii) Bathing the feet :

Besides exercising, also have a footbath in the evenings on a regular basis. Take a basin of warm water and add a little salt to it. Then soak your feet in this. This should provide instant relief to your aching feet. You can also apply a lotion of glycerine and rose water. After your feet dry, apply talc.

(iii) Massaging the feet:

You can massage your feet with useful lotions. Below you can find a recipe to make feet lotion at your home so that you do not have to buy expensive products from market.

Mix together (in a bowl) half water and half lemon juice, then gently dip a paper towel into the mixture and apply to feet. This Softens and smoothes the feet and removes foul odors.

Smelly Feet:

Do you or any of your friend or relative suffer from smelly feet? Do you know what causes smelly feet?

The main thing that causes feet smell is sweat. The feet contain nearly three million sweat glands. Though sweat is just salt and water and it does not have a smell of its own, but the smell can be caused due to bacteria present on our skins. The main reason some people's feet, socks and shoes smell worse than other peoples' is that some people sweat more than others.

Try the below suggestions to get rid of smelly feet problem:

1. Regularly have a footbath according to the instructions provided

above

2. Always wear a clean pair of absorbent socks, preferably cotton.

3. In severe cases, you can wash your feet in green tea at the end of the day.

4. You may apply an antiperspirant to your feet.

Breast Augmentation-Risks, Benefits, and Considerations

By M Jain

Breast enlargement, or augmentation mammaplasty, enhances the body contour of a woman who is unhappy with her breast size. It may also be used to correct volume loss after pregnancy, or to help balance breast size asymmetries, as well as a reconstructive technique following other breast surgeries.

The operation is carried out on an outpatient basis. An implant is placed through an incision, under the breast tissue or under the muscle. The incision can be made under the breast, around the nipple or in the armpit. It generally takes two to three hours to complete the entire procedure. A breast implant is composed of an outer shell filled with saline (salt water) or silicon gel. The outer surface may be smooth or textured, and implants come in various shapes to meet the individual woman’s needs.

The US FDA has approved both saline and silicon gel implants for breast augmentation. Studies have shown that implants do not increase the risk for breast diseases. Detection rate of breast cancer is unaffected if mammography and physical breast examination are combined.

Based on current experience, the implants should last for many years. However, since no breast implants have been implanted for a full life span, it is impossible to give an unequivocal statement in this regard.

As is the case in all surgery, there are certain risks that are inherent in this operation. Irregularity or thickening of scars can occur which might require revision. Rarely, hemorrhage may require removal of prosthesis to control the bleeding. Infection is probably the most serious risk of breast augmentation. If an infection occurs, antibiotics alone will rarely clear up the infection unless the implant is removed. It is necessary to leave the implant out for a period of about three months before it is safe to attempt replacement. The risk of infection is less than 0.5%. Infection is usually confined to the early post op period, however infection can show up much later, fortunately the prosthesis can usually be successfully replaced at a later time after the infection has completely resolved.

Sensory changes can occur resulting in numbness or discomfort, and while these symptoms are usually not long-standing or severe, they can be in some cases. Temporary sensory changes are common and usually last 2 to 6 months. No studies have indicated that implants interfere with nursing.

Capsular Contracture

The natural tissue capsule that forms around the implant within the body can sometimes thicken or contract causing unnatural firmness or shape to the breast. This condition is called "capsular contracture". This is a very uncommon complication which can be reduced by exercises. If it occurs open or closed capsulotomy may be required.

Rippling

Rippling, or surface irregularities over the implant that can be seen or felt, is a potential problem with any type of breast implant. The added risk of rippling is the trade-off for the increased safety of the saline filled device. Because of the potential problem, placement of the saline filled implant under the muscle may be indicated to help decrease the risk of rippling. This may be particularly true for patients who have very little mammary tissue.

In selecting the size of the implant, the general choice should be jointly made by the patient and the surgeon prior to surgery. While ultimately, the choice of size is made by the patient, she should recognize that there are advantages to a conservative selection. Capsular contracture and rippling are more common with larger implants. Postoperative numbness and long term sagging are also more common the large size selected. The shape of your augmented breasts depends on the implant size and shape along with how your breast appear prior to surgery. The same size and shaped implant on one patient can look completely different on someone else. Therefore, one should avoid picking a size or shape solely on what ‘looks good’ on someone else.

The breast normally covers a muscle on the chest wall called the pectoralis muscle. Breast implants can be placed above or below this muscle. When implants are placed below the muscle, it is called a sub muscular placement or a sub pectoral placement. When the implant is placed above the muscle, it is called a sub glandular or sub mammary placement, meaning that it's below the mammary gland.

A possible advantage of sub muscular placement is that it may allow better mammography. It is generally felt that there is less chance of missing a lesion on mammography when the implant is below the muscle. The pectoralis muscle tends to hold the implant against the chest wall during mammography. Another advantage of sub muscular placement is that the implant is entirely beneath the breast tissue, decreasing the possibility of interference with breast function.

It is also felt that sub muscular implants are less likely to develop firmness (capsular contracture). This may be the result of pressure or internal massage of the muscle around the implant and its associated scar tissue (capsule). While this has not been definitively proven, it is our feeling that patients have less capsular contracture when implants are placed in the sub muscular position.

Disadvantages of sub muscular implant placement include a more painful recovery than the sub glandular approach and longer healing times. Although soreness is typically somewhat more that for sub mammary implants, the increase in discomfort is not long term and most patients feel back to near normal in 2 weeks. The most severe pain last for one week on average. Over use of the arms and pectoralis muscles can cause the sub muscular implant to ‘ride up’ initially. And, sub muscular implant position does require more time to settle than sub mammary implants. Slight flattening beneath the breast should be expected initially. This requires one to two months on average for the breast tissue to stretch and soften in order for the breast to ‘round out’ in the lower half.

Incisions

There are several ways in which the breast implant can be inserted. An incision can be made under the breast (inframammary), in the armpit (transaxillary), or around the bottom of the areola (periareolar). The incision under the breast (inframammary) is the most common, and is a favorite due to a number of reasons. First, it is the area that is hidden in a crease and hemostasis is easy. Finally, inframammary scars usually heal well and the incision has been used for decades and remains a viable option that usually has no major problems.
The use of endoscopic surgery has allowed us to carry out breast augmentation with more precision and less bleeding. Special instruments designed for this purpose allow us to work through very small incisions, monitoring the operation on a video screen. The dissection is performed under close observation using an endoscopic telescope with a built in video camera to project the inside of the pocket on a large operating room screen. The pocket is then tailored under direct vision rather than the traditional blind dissection.

Enhance Your Beauty Through Skin and Hair Grooming With Aromatherapy

By Tim Gorman

Every well-groomed woman who strives for glowing skin and beautiful hair, can appreciate the outstanding benefits of aromatherapy when they are aware of them. Essential oils are being incorporated into skin and hair care products today and those who use these types of products are benefiting in quite a few ways. Not only are they practicing first-class skin and hair care, but they're also experiencing the considerable profit of aromatherapy skin and hair care uses.

Do you know your skin and hair type?

Knowing your skin and hair type is essential to realizing the best results from the treatment you give them. Essential oils, with their different therapeutic benefits, play a large part in the composition of aromatherapy. So it's important to understand your skin and hair type when matching up your needs with the essential oils of aromatherapy that provide the suitable content mixtures required in your individual grooming.

The annoyance of dry skin

Among the complaints of many caring women is dry skin. This is a condition that need not be tolerated for long. Yet many women do, not realizing there’s a simple answer to dry skin: moisturize it! How easy is it? Once more we turn to aromatherapy. Just add suitable carrier oil into an essential oil that you’ve determined to be appropriate for your skin type. Massage the product into the dry areas of your skin. Repeat this periodically for as long as it’s needed.

Is your problem sensitive skin? Allergies?

We know that many things grossly irritate susceptible skin or add to the misery of skin allergies. If either of these conditions afflicts you, be very cautious of the aromatherapy skin and hair care products you choose. If you have a bad reaction to a product, whether it's store-bought or home-produced, terminate use. If you have never used any of these products and you're unsure how you will react to an essential oil, check it on a tiny spot first for a few days and see what develops.

Sometimes we might use an aromatherapy creation expecting it to clear up a particular condition, and get no results. It’s just as if we had used nothing. The obvious conclusion is that the products are not effective for the particular individual. If needed, seek advice from a professional on the best methods to progress.

Best use of aromatherapy contents for skin and hair care

Average skin: rose, lavender, or chamomile essential oils usually work well for normal skin.

Dry or sensitive skin: chamomile is beneficial.

Skin predisposed to acne or eczema: also benefit from chamomile.

Do you use a fragrance-free face mask? include a number of drops of your selection of oils directly into the mask and utilize as intended. If you prefer, include your selection to your bathtub water.

Acne?

Whether juvenile or adult acne, this is a condition we are anxious to eliminate. It’s good to know that aromatherapy can help. Tee tree and cajeput oils are used to treat acne. Combine these vital oils with grapeseed, high-quality carrier oil. You will be able to blend some drops with rose water to produce a toner.

Can we do anything to erase signs of aging using aromatherapy for skin care?

Sandalwood oil is capable of taking away a number of discernible indications of aging for example wrinkles and dried out skin. Rose oils, frankincense, neroli and geranium oils are in addition useful in treating older skin. Palmarosa oils are customarily used together in skin and hair care items. These oils contain moisturizing and hydrating properties and they encourage skin cell renewal.

Used neat or mixed with carrier oil, the essential oils named above can be worked into skin or added to bathtub water. In addition blending essential oils into carrier oils, you might also mix them into creams and lotions that contain lanolin provided that these goods are without fragrance. Then just softly rub into skin. As soon as you’ve experienced over contact to the suns rays, rub affected areas using lavender or chamomile oils mixed with carrier oil.

An excellent last wash for hair is a combination of apple cider vinegar, lemon essential oil and clear water. In a bottle mix 2 teaspoons vinegar, 3 drops lemon oil and 4 teaspoons water. Then work this solution into your hair and wash well.

Tips and Tricks: How to Manage Curly Hair

By Lizz Cassidy

Curly hair can be either a blessing and a burden, depending on what you know about styling it. Not all curly hair is alike, so what works on one person may not necessarily work on another person; the best way to go about finding out what products are best for you is talking to your stylist, but we've put together some tips and tricks that everyone with curly hair can use. In the same respect, you might need to use different products at different times of the year - in the summer, you'll need something to help control frizziness, and in the winter you'll need something to help moisturize your hair.

The three C's of taking care of curly hair are vital in beautiful, healthy hair: cleansing, conditioning and controlling.

Firstly, you want a shampoo that won't strip away any natural essential oils, and is a fairly neutral formula. Secondly, you want to put moisture back into your hair, especially in the winter when the air is drier than normal. Lastly, you want to be able to control the frizz in your hair.

While some people claim that not using any shampoo is best for those with curly hair, it is not recommended. The dust and pollution in the air will clig to your hair. Instead of not using any shampoo, try to find a product that is gentle on your hair. This will clean your hair, but not strip it of essential oils that help to control frizzy hair. A gentle, neutral shampoo (something that is sulfate-free) can even be used daily if needed.

Some curly hair needs a moisturizing shampoo, while other curly hair needs a strengthening shampoo. Conditioners should always be used when you wash your hair. Even if you only wash your hair every other day, make sure that you use a conditioner every day. Lastly, you're going to want some type of product to control your frizz.

A Review of Aveda Cosmetics

It can be difficult to choose a skin care line that is suitable for your needs because of the deluge of skin care products that have flooded the cosmetics market. We usually wind up using the trial and error routine to sort through the countless cosmetic products.

A person will usually purchase one skin care regimen and then try it for a couple weeks or a month. After that period, a decision will be made on whether it's truly working or not. This process will be repeated again and again until a product that improves the overall clarity, texture, and appearance of the complexion is discovered.

However, there are many disadvantages to using the trial and error method. For example, some of the skin care products could end up worsening the situation of your skin. This method also cost a lot of time and money. You should give Aveda cosmetics a shot if you want to save time and money.

About five years ago, I came across an Aveda store for the first time when I was doing some random shopping with my wife. My wife and I began to browse and check out all the fine Aveda cosmetics and skin care lines at the store. The first thing I noticed at the store was their sales pitch. According to the sales person their products are made with natural botanicals and plant extracts.

I became curious so I picked up a bottle of one of the products and smelled it. I have to say that Aveda cosmetics have an amazing smell. I was impressed because I wanted my wife to smell like this. My wife decided to try their skin care line for normal to combination skin after some sampling. Since then, she has used nothing but Aveda cosmetics and skin care products.

Are you also interested in these products? If you do, then you should ask for a sample. You can always ask to sample something when you have doubts. Tell the sales person hat you're interested, but would prefer to try Aveda cosmetics before purchasing them. Now, you should remember that these products aren't drugstore cosmetics. That means that these products are a bit more expensive than Neutrogena. Nevertheless, the quality of Veda cosmetics makes it worth the price.
