Breast Augmentation - A Trend in Latin America: Credits to PlacidWay

A tight waist, large breasts, thin legs, lifted buttock, perfect skin, a flat abdomen is what all women want. Do all these make us feel better?

Yes, they do. Because we know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder , we struggle to achieve the ideal ‘us’ we have created in our minds. What do we do when nature does not help us very much, and diets and exercising are a failure? We turn to cosmetic surgery.

Technology is on our side, helping us achieve our goal, no matter what the effort and consequences are. One of the most common and sought for cosmetic procedure is Breast Augmentation. There are dozens of reasons why a woman would choose breast augmentation.

On one hand she was not blessed with large breasts. On the other hand, she is satisfied with her breasts’ appearance, but some changes come along, such as weight loss, pregnancy, breast feeding, aging , deformities, asymmetry, mastectomy, and, therefore, she turns to plastic surgery.

Understanding Breast Augmentation

These days women have a multitude of choices when it comes to breast augmentation: various sizes and shapes, various procedures and various implant types. The two most popular implants are the silicone and saline ones. The costs for Breast Augmentation vary depending on the procedure chosen, the type of implants, the clinic where the procedure is performed and the surgeon who performs it.

Prices vary between $2,900 in Bolivia and $8,000 in the US and Singapore. Fortunately, there are many  cosmetic clinics and hospitals which offer affordable Breast Augmentation packages, so that each woman could have the change to get the breasts she has always dreamed of.

From early to modern times, breasts  have been considered a symbol of beauty and admiration. Studies show that women who are unhappy with their breasts, might suffer from a lack of confidence,  depression or anxiety. Fortunately, cosmetic surgery can change the way a woman looks at herself and improve her feelings she has towards her body. Seize the moment and make the change you have always wanted.

Presbyopia vs Hyperopia: Is There a Difference Between the Two?

Presbyopia is a medical term for a vision problem that occurs as you age. By the time you reach your 40s or 50s, or sometimes later, changes in the lens of the eye make it more difficult for your eyes to differentiate between distant or near objects. That's because the muscles that accommodate this adjustment of the lens changes due to natural aging processes. When the muscles around the lens weaken or thin, you'll notice a difference in your ability to focus on objects closer to you.

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is also a term that defines presbyopia. Essentially, they're the same thing. An individual with hyperopia or farsightedness has no trouble seeing a distant object clearly and in focus, but closer objects may be blurry.

If you have trouble reading the writing on a pill bottle, a recipe, or even a newspaper or magazine, you may be experiencing presbyopia. In many cases, small print may appear blurred. This is caused because the eyeball has actually shortened, caused by aging lenses that grows stiffer and less flexible as you age. The process makes it increasingly difficult for the lens of the eye to properly bend light rays, and the light rays end up landing on an area in front of the retina rather than behind it, which is required for clear vision.

The best treatment: Presbyopia vs Hyperopia

One of the most common treatment approaches to changes in vision such as presbyopia or hyperopia is optical correction, meaning that you can be fitted with prescription glasses or contact lenses. Many people simply visit their local pharmacy and buy a pair of reading glasses, but these don't provide for changes in individual eye or vision capabilities.

Newer technologies have been developed in recent years. One of those is known as Kamra inlay. This procedure involves the implantation of a very small (smaller than a contact lens) device into the cornea of the eye. This inlay reduces the need of an individual to wear reading glasses.

Presbyopia or hyperopia can grow worse over time, and while not everyone experiences it as they age, by the time you reach your mid-60s, the condition usually stabilizes and your vision remains the same. It is recommended that any individual experiencing vision problems visit your ophthalmologist, optometrist, or eye doctor to determine an adequate treatment plan

How much do common treatments cost?

In the United States, treatments for presbyopia or hyperopia depend on which option is chosen. Prescription glasses and contact lenses may cost between $50 and several hundred dollars, depending on individualized circumstances and needs. The Kamra inlay procedure costs approximately $10,000, performed in less than 30 minutes. Results are immediate.

Who performs these treatments?

Optometrists or ophthalmologist who specialize in the treatment of vision disorders treat individuals diagnosed with presbyopia or hyperopia. Such individuals should be trained, licensed, as will a certified to perform a variety of eye treatments and procedures, including the latest inlay procedure. Ensure that the optometrist or ophthalmologist you choose is board certified by a local, state, or national medical organizations or groups.

How to Spot Cancerous Moles

Throughout the years, moles have been regarded as either ugly and disgraceful or extremely hot and beautiful. However, the important thing is that the moles can become cancerous and thus hazardous to your health.

Fact: Those of us who sunbathe without any sunscreen or rip their moles can get skin cancer. 90 percent of the skin cancer cases are caused by sun exposure.

A mole that poses no threat is flat and its surface is tender.

Those who have many moles on their skin should avoid prolonged sun exposure. The most threatened areas are the chest in men and the legs in women.

Be advised when choosing the sunscreen: it should protect you from the B type rays but also from the A type rays, because the last penetrate the skin deeper.

How does one see the cancerous moles?

Regular moles are symmetric and the cancerous moles are not, they are rather atypical.

  When you examine a mole, draw an imaginary line across its middle and compare the two halves. If they are not the same, ask for a dermatology consult.

  A mole that poses no threat is flat and tender. Usually, the mole is round or oval and has no more than 6 mm diameter.

  Most moles occur in children and young people. It is unusual for moles to appear after the individual has reached 40.

  Equally dangerous are the mole lesions.  If you have scratched it by accident or you have accidentally torn a mole, see a dermatologist within 2 or 3 days.

The ABCD of the melanoma and spotting the cancer moles

A – Asymmetry

B – Borders: irregular mole borders

C – Color change or different shades in the same atypical mole.

D – Diameter: any mole that exceeds 6 mm in diameter

“An imaginary ailment is worse than a disease.”  ~Yiddish Proverb
