Download or read book What Former Patients Don t Even Know About Plastic Surgery written by Serge Uri and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-04 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Plastic surgery is often viewed as a miraculous solution to physical imperfections or signs of aging. Although it may certainly address many issues related to one's physical appearance, few people have a realistic approach when it comes to plastic surgery. People who have excessively high aesthetic expectations look to plastic surgery as a means to achieving those unnatural expectations. The truth is that plastic surgery has its benefits and risks just like any other type of surgery, and while it is a great way to enhance one's physical appearance, potential patients need to know more about its nuts and bolts before making their final decision. It is important to obtain realistic, accurate information, and learn the advantages and possible problems that are associated with various types of plastic surgery. Contrary to popular belief, plastic surgery is not only about enhancing physical appearance. Initially, plastic surgery was created as a surgical specialty that involved reconstruction and recovery after traumas, burns, birth defects or other types of unfortunate accidents that resulted in body disfigurement and altered physical appearance that significantly impaired a person's quality of life. Over the years, plastic surgery has gained popularity as a cosmetic tool and a method to correct percieved imperfections. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK During a facelift, a plastic surgeon will typically make an incision behind the ear in the hairline region of the scalp, which makes it less exposed and visible. Then, the plastic surgeon will proceed by pulling the skin and assessing how much skin should be removed for a smoother and tighter face. The excess skin is removed, and then the surgeon carefully re-positions the remaining skin back in place. Sutures and bandages are applied to complete the facelift. There are various techniques, some of which are less invasive and can yield satisfactory results. For example, a mini facelift involves pulling and re-positioning the skin in a smaller region of the face using special thin threads that are inserted in the deeper layers of the skin. Some patients are ineligible to undergo a facelift due to certain health conditions or prescription medications. This is why it is important to talk about your medical history with your plastic surgeon, who will determine whether a facelift is the proper course of action in your case. Wrinkles can also be treated through less invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections, laser skin resurfacing and dermal fillers. Some patients may opt for these conservative treatment alternatives because there is a lower chance of side effects and complications compared to a traditional facelift... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Download or read book Against My Better Judgment written by Roger Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against My Better Judgment: An Intimate Memoir of an Eminent Gay Psychologist is an extraordinary and moving account of the life of a gay man in his late 60s after he loses his companion of 40 years to cancer. A leading professor of psychology at Harvard University, Roger Brown bravely comes forth with his compelling story of grief, loneliness, and a relentless search for intimacy, healing, and self-acceptance. Readers gain insight into a stage of life experienced by gay men of which little is written or spoken due to the ageism that characterizes homosexual culture. Against My Better Judgment reveals deeply personal truths that will prepare gay men for what to expect in the later stages of life. Universal in nature, these truths will speak to readers from various lifestyles and of all ages. Readers will recognize the book as a story of looking for love in all the wrong places, but will also see in it a process of discovery--both internal and external. In the aftermath of his lover’s death, Brown turns to prostitutes for companionship, for relieving repressed sexual energy, and even for love. Through his unique relationships with three young men, he does not find the romantic love he so desperately seeks, but discovers that his idea of human nature has been formed by his particular life position and association with people who share his values, knowledge, and privileges. Once he goes outside his social and intellectual circle, he acquires a new perspective on life and realizes how far from universal truth his notions of humanity have been. Readers of Against My Better Judgment will gain a different perspective on the complexities of love, relationships, fidelity, human nature, and the hardships of life inevitably faced by all humans--straight, gay, or bisexual. Gay men, lesbians, psychologists, widowers, therapists, and anthropologists, as well as sensitive readers of any background, will heighten their understanding of what it means to be human. This remarkable story makes a tremendous contribution to existing gay literature and the timeless struggle of art and literature to make sense of the universe and the place of humans within it. Echoing life, Against My Better Judgment, with its brutal honesty, intrigues and repels alternately, just as it elicits both sadness and laughter.
