Louisiana Buttock Implants - The Plastic Surgery Procedure
This surgical procedure also called gluteoplasty or buttock augmentation. It is designed to reshape the size of your buttocks and create more firm and aesthetic appearance. The buttock area is not easily changed by weight reduction or exercise, therefore you may consider this operation to improve the look of your buttock. In general, every person wishing to undergo the operation, and is in a good physical condition, can do so.
During the operation the surgeon inserts silicon implants into your gluteal area. Unlike breast implants, these are soft and solid, their shape and size vary, according to individual body form and desires.
Louisiana Buttock Implants - The Implants
There are few kinds of implants: round or oval (also called an anatomic implant). The most common implants are those made of silicon. It comes with a smooth or textured surface and they are solid (meaning: they rarely spill or rupture). The selection of an implant is usually made according to the surgeon's advice and your preference.
Louisiana Buttock Implants - Insertion Locations
The incision for the implant insertion can be made in several locations: two excisions, either on the superior buttocks or inferior buttock near the posterior thigh. Both incisions leave a quite visible scar. One excision is made in the sacrum area, it goes from top down, and is usually small (4-6cm). The only problem is that such incision tends to become infected more often; this can be treated with antibiotics. The implant can be placed above or below the gluteal muscles. Finally, a liposuction can be added to this procedure to further shape your buttocks.
This procedure is preformed under general anesthesia and usually lasts one hour, liposuction may require an additional half hour (consult local Louisiana surgeon).
Louisiana Buttock Implants - Risks
Every procedure has its risks: this one includes bleeding, infection, nerve and/or muscle damage and damage to the implants, such as silicon spillage and buttock asymmetry.
Louisiana Buttock Implants - After Surgery
After surgery you will feel pain and discomfort, and you will be prescribed with painkillers. You also have to wear a special bandage for 2-3 weeks to help your buttocks gain their new look. Occasionally you may feel either temperature changes or numbness in the area. This will resolve after a few months. It may take about 3 months for the swelling to resolve and the buttocks to regain their final appearance. You'll be able to go back to full activity after one month. Since the implants are placed far from the bony area you will have no trouble sitting. Finally, the implants will give your butt the look like you have been working out for years.

Louisiana Drink 'The legal drinking age is 21, however in New Orleans and parts of Acadianathis drinking age is not rigorously enforced. In March 1996, the Supreme Court of Louisiana upheld a previous rulling by Judge Aucoin that the 21 year old drinking age was unconstitution, violating the Constitution's equal protection clause. Within hours of the rulling, the state law enforcement community vowed to enforce the current law, until the loophole in the Constitution was closed. More than 10 years later that loophole is still there. Rule of thumb for anyone wanting to party in Louisiana, regardless of age, don't drink and drive. If you are over 18 but under 21, you generally wont have much problem in New Orleans. Just play your cards right, act like an adult, drink responsibly and you'll have a good time. Don't argue with bartenders, police officers and liquor store owners.

- Following a report from an observational study that the activity of clopidogrel on platelets, tested by vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation was diminished in patients receiving PPI treatment, the OCLA (Omeprazole CLopidogrel Aspirin) study examined the influence of omeprazole on the antiplatelet activity of clopidogrel.
This double-blind placebo-controlled trial involved 124 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery stent implantation, who received aspirin (75mg/day) and clopidogrel (loading dose, followed by 75mg/day). They were randomised to either omeprazole (20 mg/day) or placebo for 7 days. The effect of clopidogrel was tested on days 1 and 7 in both groups by measuring platelet phosphorylated-VASP expressed as a platelet reactivity index (PRI). The main end point was PRI value at the 7-day treatment period in the 2 groups. The study found that:
• On day 1, mean PRI was 83.2% and 83.9%, respectively, in the placebo and omeprazole groups (p = NS).
• On day 7, mean PRI was 39.8% and 51.4%, respectively, in the placebo and omeprazole groups (p < 0.0001).
The researchers conclude from these findings that omeprazole decreased the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel as assessed by the VASP phosphorylation test. They note that as aspirin-clopidogrel antiplatelet dual therapy is widely prescribed, with PPIs frequently added to prevent GI bleeding, their findings require further evaluation, as the clinical impact of these results remains uncertain.
According to an accompanying editorial, this is a hypothesis-generating study. It adds that “improved patient selection and pharmokinetic/pharmacodynamic investigations are needed before any clinical significance can be attributed to this reported drug–drug interaction or any suggestions are made that cardiologists should delete omeprazole therapy when clinically indicated in patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy.”
