Five Must - Know Facts About Plastic Surgery



1. Plastic surgery is driven by the aging population. Baby boomers are excellent candidates for facial cosmetic surgery such as facelifts, eyelid lifts, neck lifts, and others. Also, for women turning the corner, breast augmentation or breast lift procedures look appealing because they restore the natural beauty of a younger woman, and self-perception and self-esteem increases measurably in many cases. The number of breast augmentations performed in 2003 was triple the amount performed early in the 1990's.

2. Plastic surgery trends are focused on the natural look, as opposed to the synthetic, surgical look. When considering plastic surgery, it is helpful to find examples of people who have already undergone natural looking cosmetic surgery. This will give the doctor a better idea of what you want to look like.

3. Technically, the difference between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery is that plastic surgery evolved from reconstructive surgery, whereas cosmetic surgery is typically undertaken by the patient as a choice for improvements.

4. As a patient, you can evaluate your choice in care by learning the difference between a plastic surgeon who is trained in plastic surgery, versus someone who calls themselves a cosmetic surgeon. Check to ensure that the doctor you are considering is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which ensures the physician's level of training and care is up to quality standards.

5. A plastic surgeon is really a beauty sculptor. It is helpful for your cosmetic or plastic surgeon to have training in aesthetic plastic surgery techniques. Studying the faces and bodies of beautiful people, studying aesthetics and taking sculpting class are helpful, but it takes an artist to truly understand the work involved in plastic or cosmetic surgery. Not all surgeons have that artistic gift. For many, plastic surgery is a science. But it helps to also think of it as an art, one that requires attention to detail and aesthetic appreciation.

Penis Enlargement Cosmetic Surgery


Penis size is a very controversial and sensitive subject for many men. In fact, penis size is as to men as breast size is to women. If a man does not have large genitalia, he may feel that he is less masculine and sexually appealing. In his quest to make himself 'larger' he may try pills, lotions and pumps, things that do not work or if they do only last temporarily. If a man has a little bit of money saved up he may consider another option: cosmetic surgery. This article will discuss the types of cosmetic surgery available for penile enlargement along with evaluating the ethics of these procedures.

The first type of penile enlargement cosmetic surgery is geared towards increasing the girth of the penis. Fat cells, silicone, collagen, mineral oil, KY Jelly or even acrylic glass, (also known as PMMA), is inserted into the penis during the cosmetic surgery. If fat cells are injected, there is a chance that not only the penis may take on a lumpy, unattractive appearance, but any girth that is obtained goes away as the fat cells are absorbed in the body. However, insertion of silicone, collagen, mineral oil, KY Jelly or acrylic glass could make the penis form a strange bump which could inhibit blood flow to the organ. Additionally, cosmetic surgery aimed at adding girth could cause the penis to lose sensation or become deformed.

The second type of penile enlargement cosmetic surgery is done to lengthen the penis. What happens is the portion of the penis that is inside a man's body is stretched out. Specifically, according to Wikipedia, this form of cosmetic surgery releases the fundiform ligament and the suspensory ligament. When this type of cosmetic surgery is over, the man has to stretch their penis to ensure it retains its length during the healing process. The downside to this operation is that when the penile ligaments are manipulated, it's possible the penis will not stay in place during sexual activity. The penis will also not maintain a normal 'straight up' erection as it did before the cosmetic surgery.

With all that being said, is it ethical for a man to pursue penile enlargement cosmetic surgery? Some men feel that it is, especially since cosmetic surgery for the breasts are so accepted by society. However, some of the cosmetic surgeries geared for breasts are done for practicality. This is especially the case for women who need a breast reduction to relieve back pain or women who need nipple inversion surgery to help breastfeed their babies. Yet, even with the more aesthetically-based cosmetic surgeries, the same ethical argument should still apply. It doesn't matter if the procedures are more accepted by society.

So, what is the ethical concern with penile enlargement cosmetic surgery then? It's pretty much the same as any type of cosmetic surgery; why can't the man be happy with the way he was born? Why should he judge himself on the basis of how a porn star looks, when more likely than not he is probably at least average anyway? Is it worth possibly ruining future penile function to add an inch or two? For many men the answer should be "no." Instead the better alternative should be finding a way to attain good self-esteem so it doesn't matter if he isn't as long as he would like. And in the long run, it will be a man's self-confidence that will win over a woman's heart, not what's in his pants.
