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).

  • Porto Alegre Get around
    The local bus system is widely spread, but hard to understand if you are not a local. The lines connect, in most of the cases, the neighborhoods to downtown. There are no maps available, neither signs and schedules at the bus stops. The best way to find out a certain line or route is to ask people at the stops or bus drivers. That's what local people do when they don't know which bus to take. But don´t worry, because the buses are clean, safe and fast.

    There are plenty of taxis. They can be pricey, if compared to other towns, but they are also an easier and safer option to buses.

Plastic Surgery News...

  • The Healthcare Commission has called on NHS and independent sector hospitals to ensure they are not exposing patients to the dangers of unnecessary radiation through x-rays, CT scans and other procedures. In the first report of its type, the Commission analyses 329 incidents reported to it during the 14 month period from November 2006 to December 2007 under the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations (2000). Exposure to ionising radiation is a vital part of healthcare provision, but it does have the potential to cause harm and in extreme cases can increase the risk of cancer. Under the regulations, healthcare providers must report to the Commission incidents where patients experience a dose of radiation “much greater than intended”. The Commission stresses that the majority of incidents reported to it were of a low dose and carry little risk to patients. It also states that NHS trusts and independent hospitals must ensure the use of x-rays and other radiations is justified, doses are kept as low as possible and incidents are reported where appropriate. Further details on the types of incidents/errors reported are available at the link above.
