Insurance coverage for rhinoplasty procedures may come into par when correcting these problems. A septoplasty is performed to correct a deviated septum.

After pregnancy, and with age, many women notice that their breasts tend to sag and are no longer as perky as they used to be.

With the onset of summer, it seems that the media is filled with images of bikini-clad celebrities. These beautiful people can be found at the beach and poolside, always appearing the image of perfection, from the perfectly coiffed hair, to the sexy flat stomach, and on down to the bright and shiny lacquer on their beautiful toes.

We had lunch with an old friend the other day, a mother of five year old twins. The conversation evolved into the consequences of a multiples pregnancy, specifically the after-effects on the mother's body after carrying more than one baby. It turns out that, after trying unsuccessfully to diet and excercise away the excess skin of her post-pregnancy abdomen, our friend's sister offered to pay for her to get an abdominoplasty, otherwise known as a tummy tuck. Our friend began to explore the options for Beverly Hills abdominoplasty and found a doctor to conduct the procedure.

Our friend had nothing but good things to say about her tummy tuck and was extremely happy with the results. She was feeling like her old self, once again liked the way she looked in the mirror. Most importantly, she also had more energy and enthusiasm for many things, including working out on a regular basis, something she did not enjoy before the surgery.

For women who would like larger breasts for cosmetic reasons, there is breast augmentation surgery, which places implants under the breast tissue or chest muscle to increase the breast size.

An Interesting Procedure

2008-12-20T09:56:00.001-08:00

Recently a face transplant was done in the US for the first time. This is an exotic plastic surgery procedure, more unusual than say a Palm Springs tummy tuck. Here is how the story was descried in a recent press release---

Facial transplantation is plastic surgery. In fact, Maria Siemionow, MD, who performed this country's first face transplant at the Cleveland Clinic recently, is a reconstructive plastic surgeon. Facial transplantation plastic surgery offers great hope for those who suffer from severe facial disfigurement.

"The nation's first face transplant is another great example of plastic surgeons performing reconstructive plastic surgery that gives patients their lives back," says John Canady, MD, President of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

ASPS members are uniquely qualified to add perspective to the history of transplantation and are making themselves available for comment.

Plastic Surgeons have been at the forefront of transplantation medicine since its inception. The first organ transplant, a kidney transplant, was done by a plastic surgeon in 1954, and the first successful hand transplant was performed by a plastic surgeon in 1998.

In 2006, ASPS and the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM) took a strong stand and issued Guiding Principles to assist plastic surgeons who may choose to participate in facial transplantation.

"The guiding principles help plastic surgeons decide who is a good candidate for this procedure through everything from in-depth evaluation of prospective patients' physical and psychological condition to informing the patients of the very latest information about risks and outcomes," Canady says.

As remarkable as the potential possibilities are for facial transplant plastic surgery recipients, we recognize there are many questions associated with the procedure. There are medical, technical, and ethical issues, which ASPS has and will continue to examine thoroughly.
