This article sheds light on the improvements that Modern Technology has made to the lives of the lay person. It will touch upon various treatments like Asian Eye Surgery, Breast Reduction, hand-rejuvenation-treatments that you would want to read about and know more. Firstly let’s deal with Eye Surgery:
Do you eyes make you look tired, even though you’ve had a good night’s sleep? If your answer is yes, you’re not alone. Loose skin over your eyes and fat bags under your eyes can make you look more tired and older than you feel inside. Heavy eyelids can also create an unfriendly appearance.
Blepharoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries performed. However, an Asian blepharoplasty has added potential for complications and unfavorable results if meticulous attention is not paid to aesthetics and proper surgical techniques. Your personal goals must be given adequate consideration. If you are of Asian descent and are considering eyelid surgery, Dr. Brian Kinney performs eyelid surgery for patients in our region with a detailed understanding of the ethnic variations in eyelid anatomy and the surgical skill necessary to maintain your ethnicity and achieve your individual goals.
When the procedure is performed alone, and not in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure, it is generally done with sedation and local anesthesia. The eye area may be bruised and swollen for about 2 weeks. Patients should keep their heads up and place cold compresses on their eyes periodically. Antibiotic eye drops are generally prescribed for several days. Patients can’t wear contact lenses for about 2 weeks, since the eyelids may be stiff and sore. Make-up may be worn after about 10 days. The resulting thin scars, which will follow the natural contour of your eyelids, tend to fade in about 2 months.
Now let’s move on to Breast Reduction:
Large, sagging breasts can be uncomfortable, unhealthy and distracting from a woman’s appearance. Large breasts can also restrict certain activities. The best candidates are women with very large breasts who require physical relief. Other candidates for breast reduction include those patients with one breast significantly larger than the other. Those with indentations in their shoulders from tight bra straps and those who are self-conscious or dissatisfied with their oversized breasts are also excellent candidates.
Breast liposuction is a safe alternative to traditional breast reduction surgery. It may be performed with twilight sleep anesthesia combined with local anesthesia. Since the female breast is about 50% fat, a 1 – 3 cup reduction in size can be obtained using liposuction alone. Liposuction of the breast enables the surgeon to remove fatty tissue, but not glandular tissue. With this procedure, most patients experience a quicker recovery time with minimal scarring as compared to a traditional breast reduction. Depending on your breast size, breast liposuction might be an option to consider.
A breast reduction can make a dramatic change in your appearance and your outlook. A breast reduction can make your breasts smaller and firmer. Many patients find a new enjoyment in sports, exercise, dancing, or even just walking.
Lastly the treatment that most elderly women and men would consider :
Hands are one of the first parts of the body to show signs of aging because they receive so much exposure. Sunlight, the elements and the natural aging process all contribute to the development of darkened spots, unsightly veins, wrinkles and fine lines, precancerous growths and loss of fatty tissue. Some procedures for the same are as mentioned below –
Prescription-strength skin care like Retin-A and other creams are proven to significantly affect the aging process.
Sclerotherapy was developed in the 1920s. During the procedure a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through a micro-needle. The tiny needles generally cause very little pain. The sclerosing solution causes the vein to blanch (turn white), then gradually disappear.
Fractional skin resurfacing treats spots and fine lines with the delivery of microbeams of light to form new, soft, healthy skin with reduced blemishes.
Laser treatments give Dr. Kinney precise control as the procedure gently removes fine lines and wrinkles, unsightly veins, and age spots to reveal smooth, fresher-looking hands.
These are some of the procedures performed by Dr. Kinney who has recently published a textbook of plastic surgery. He has along with other distinguished Professors/co-editors from medical schools at Cleveland Clinic, Harvard, Yale, the University of Michigan, Pittsburgh and Wisconsin co-edited a new 2,000 page, standard textbook in plastic surgery with over 120 chapters and 250 authors.
