I have already made the decision to go under the knife when I finally got breast augmentation surgery. I have to tell you, it is the best thing I ever did and I will do it again tomorrow if I had to! There were things that I needed post surgery to help make my healing easier and a lot less painful and I found them at HealingEnhancements.com. This is an incredible website that you can find all you will need to help get through the uncomfortable time post surgery. I was told about the site by a friend who was compulsive about finding the perfect post surgery pillow because she was going in for a few surgerys to make her feel like her fabulous self.HealingEnhancements.com is the one stop shop for any and all your needs to help you heal. They truly believe in keeping it simple. There are millions of plastic surgery products on the market and if my best friend wasn’t as compulsive as she is, I would have never found the ones that were right for me. HealingEnhancements.com is the best way for you to research products easily and have them do the leg work of narrowing down the best choices for your concerns.

Healing Enhancements.com has everything from compression garments, non surgical anti aging serums, scar reduction, therapeutic recovery pillows, gel therapy masks, bruise creams, and surgical bras.

by Paul Baranda

Reality TV plastic surgeon, Dr. 90210Beautiful celebrities and models in movies, Reality TV shows, magazines and all the media that get stuffed in front of your face are all factors that popularize the notion that plastic surgery is the answer for perfection. The competition is high to be thin, perfect, and glamorous but does that outweigh the risks of surgery?

Women had 92 percent of cosmetic procedures. The number of procedures (surgical and nonsurgical) performed on women was over 10.5 million, an increase of 1 percent from the previous year. Surgical procedures decreased 9 percent; nonsurgical procedures increased 4 percent. Since 1997, surgical procedures increased 123 percent, while nonsurgical procedures have increased 749 percent.American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Kanye West and momMany people are anxious and excited to get breast implants, a new nose job, or even Botox injections to look good in the spotlight. What also has been in the spotlight recently are Kanye West’s mother and many others who are victims of plastic surgery medical malpractice. It is very important to extensively research your surgeon’s credentials as well as the procedure and recovery period, etc to make sure you’re in good hands. Also remember, botched plastic surgery cannot be undone.

Here are some important tips:

  1. Have your internal med doctor (not your surgeon) to check if you’re healthy enough to withstand the physical stress of anesthesia and surgery on the heart and pulmonary (lung) systems with a medical pre-op exam.
  2. Use caution when choosing your surgeon since it’s difficult to get information on a surgeon with good experience. Any physician with a medical degree and a license to practice medicine can legally perform plastic surgery in the United States. Check to see if your surgeon is certified on the and American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and The American Board of Plastic Surgery.
  3. Check your doctor’s hospital affiliations. If your doctor has privileges at an accredited hospital, even if they choose to perform surgery in their private office, then it demonstrates that their work is subject to regular scrutiny. Do not use a doctor that does not have these privileges.
  4. Ask your friends and your personal physician to see examples of the surgeon’s work, or talk to one or more patients about their surgical experience.
  5. Check out the office and staff, especially the anesthesiologist, who will be providing you medical care before, during and after your surgery.
  6. Ask your friends, doctor, surgeon, and family Questions!

Following these important steps to having a safe procedure can help prevent cosmetic surgery malpractice. Of course if you or anyone you know is involved in a plastic surgery malpractice that leads to health complications or a fatal result, I suggest you consult a medical malpractice law firm in your area such as:
