[city] Breast Reduction - The Procedure
Women with very large breasts may suffer from pack pain, skin infections under the breast folds and breathing difficulties. During the operation extra fat, skin and breast tissue are removed and the surgeon designs a smaller breasts according to woman's proportions.

There are two ways to perform breast reduction: one with longer scar or an "anchor" scar, which is the procedure of choice in a case of very large breasts. The surgeon cuts through the nipple down and behind the breast folds. Afterward the surgeon lifts the nipple upward and shapes the breast. The second one is with a smaller scar, which is suitable for a medium size breasts. The cut is made only through the nipple and through the fold. Sometime the extra skin is not fully removed which leaves some skin folds beneath the breasts. Those usually disappear after 3-5 month (in case they persist afterward you might need an additional surgery to remove them).

[city] Breast Reduction - Risks
Every surgery has its risks; the one you're about to have has a risk of wound infections or healing difficulties of the scars. It might be an asymmetry in the position of the nipple and in some cases you won't be able to nurse.

[city] Breast Reduction - After Surgery
After the surgery some of the surgeon will prefer an elastic bandage or a bra and some will leave a drainage tubes to draine extra blood or secretions. You might feel pain with sharp moves or coughing, you'll receive painkillers to relieve the pain. The bandages will be removed a 1-2 days after the operation, and it is recommended to wear a sports bra for another 4-6 weeks until the area heals completely. During your first period after the surgery you might feel pain more then usual, you might also fell tingle or currents for a few month or even a year.

  • Boston By train

    Amtrak arrives at South Station, which intersects with the MBTA's Red Line and the waterfront branches of the Silver Line. You can take the Amtrak Northeast Corridor or Acela Express from South Station all the way to Washington D.C. and beyond. Average Acela time from Boston to New York City is 3 1/2 hours, while a trip to Philadelphia takes about 5 hours. Another popular Amtrak train is the Lake Shore Limited service between Boston and Chicago (requiring a layover in Albany). This isn't as high quality or high speed as the Acela, but at around $75, the price is right (note that in order to get the low-low fare, you have to purchase your ticket a few weeks in advance). All trains to South Station also stop at Back Bay Station, which is much smaller, but more convenient to Back Bay, Beacon Hill and the South End. It is on the Orange Line on the subway and most of the Commuter Rail lines that terminate at South Station.

    Amtrak also uses North Station at the TD Banknorth Garden (previously called the Fleet Center) for their Downeaster service to Haverhill, Peabody, and Maine.


  • Boston When to visit

    As many know, the weather in New England is very unpredictable and becomes moderately cold in the winter, as well as rather humid summers. Late May through late September, you'll be comfortable with no jacket or sweater.

    When the heat does start, there are miles and miles of beaches within the city -and just outside of it- that are available for swimming. (The old Standells classic "Dirty Water" doesn't really apply anymore as the water is very safe to swim in thanks to the 15-year old Boston Harbor Cleanup project.)

    Early summer tends to be nice, but you don't know when that will be year to year. In that time however, the temperature will be perfect, and there will be no humidity. The remainder of summer tends to be very warm with uncomfortably high humidity. Walking around Boston in this weather can be very uncomfortable. You'll be best off taking a cab, bus, or the T (air-conditioned, unlike the London Underground).

    If you opt to visit during the less busy wintertime, rest assured that the nearby Atlantic Ocean has a large moderating effect on temperatures. The average low in January is 22F [2], so as long as you dress appropriately, you should be fine.

Plastic Surgery News...

  • Perhaps the only positive spin one can put on the brain cancer glioblastoma is that it's relatively uncommon. Other than that, the news is bad. It is nearly always fatal, it tends to strike people in the prime of their lives, and the limited treatment options have changed little over decades.
  • New research, by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), is unravelling some of the mysteries of how prion diseases like CJD damage brain cells (neurons). The research, published in the online journal BMC Biology, indicates that the presence of prions critically increases the amounts of cholesterol in neurons which triggers the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
