Calf Augmentation Procedure
This procedure offers a solution for those people that have underdeveloped calves or wish to augment them. The idea is to shape and size the calves by surgical insertion of implants. The implants are made of soft silicon and they come in different shapes and sizes. Before the operation your legs will be measured to select a proper implant for your needs. There is an alternative to implants. Calf augmentation can also be performed by liposuction of fat from other body parts and injecting it into the calves. This method is not suitable for people with no extra fat to be removed. Another problem is fat absorption that eventually occurs, sometimes creating not symmetric calves. Men and women can benefit from this procedure. Men usually want to increase the muscle bulk, giving them more masculine look and women wish to get more symmetrical appearance of their legs. This procedure also may help to correct some congenital defects, those include polio, spina bifida and clubfoot, all this conditions may be associated with undeveloped calves.
This procedure can be done with local or general anesthesia, and it usually lasts for an hour. During the operation the patient is laying on their back. A cut is made in the concavity behind the knee, then the skin is gently separated and a space is created. The implant is inserted above the muscles. After one leg is done the doctor performs the same on the other one. After the symmetry is confirmed the surgeon closes the cuts with stitches.
Every operation has its ricks. This one includes bleeding, infection and sometimes implants shrinkage and asymmetry.
After the surgery you may feel some degree of pain. Your doctor'll subscribe you for painkillers. At the first two days you'll be asked to raise your legs whenever you are sitting, this to reduce swelling. Afterwards, the bandages are removed and you are encouraged to walk more intensively to train your calve muscles. For about two weeks you'll fell like you're calves is been through excessive workout. Swelling and bruising also may appear, they are only temporary and will improve with time. You'll be able to go back to work after 7-10 days. You'll get detailed instructions from you're surgeon regarding the activities you should avoid, for example long walking, weight lifting and running. Usually, most of the patients are able to return to their daily activities after 4-6 weeks.

Bulgaria Cities
Sofia (?????) - The capital and the major point of interest in Bulgaria. It features nice parks, a nice town center, quite a few bars, pubs, and disco clubs, over 250 historic landmarks and architectural monuments, and a great deal of cultural places of interest.
Plovdiv (???????)- The nation's second largest city. Boasts a lovely shopping promenade and many parks, an ancient city with a perserved amphitheater, and many "revival" style Bulgaria homes. Be sure also to take a side trip to Bachkovo Monastery which is about an hour away.
Varna (?????) - The nation's third largest city is a primary beach resort. The night life in Varna is notorious, especially during the summer season.
Burgas (??????) - Known for its commercial port (Port of Burgas) and oil refinery. Picturesque waterside and nearby downtown and shopping area makes this city popular with tourists.
Bulgaria By bus Buses to and from Sofia go to most major cities in Europe - while Bulgarian bus companies will be cheaper (and mostly offer less comfort), the tickets are hard to get by if you are travelling to Bulgaria, so you can always take Eurolines buses. Don't be surprised if an extra "border fee" is asked from each traveller by the bus driver - it makes your border passing quicker. Most buses from Western Europe will pass through Serbia, so be sure to check if you need a transit visa beforehand (Serbian visas for citizens of the EU have recently been abolished).

- This Blog provides a quick and succinct commentary on a recent study which suggested that there is selective publication of positive studies for antidepressants by the pharmaceutical industry, while negative studies or studies that question their benefit are not published. It notes that “as a result of the perceived inflated benefits, inappropriate prescribing decisions may be made and selective reporting is unfair to researchers who rely on published information, and to participants of trials who put themselves forward to study these drugs.” It reminds prescribers of NICE guidance for the management of depression and of the need to be aware of the limitations in the evidence for the effectiveness of antidepressants, and be mindful that published evidence may be biased in favour of their effectiveness. It also suggests that “rather than relying on results of evidence from individual articles, clinicians would be well advised to base their prescribing decisions on evidence-based advice from independent trusted summarised sources such as NICE, CKS, Clinical Evidence, and the National Prescribing Centre. However, as these sources largely rely on published evidence, unless public access to all clinical trials is made mandatory, even these trusted sources may not be able to give guidance based on the whole evidence-base.”
