What is the most rapidly growing field in the plastic surgery medical sciences? The answer: post bariatric body contour. This rapidly rising field of expertise is being driven by the success of the gastric bypass and lap band surgical weight loss procedures. These two surgical techniques accounted for a total of over 108,000 completed procedures in just the United States in the past 3 years. The proliferation of these weight loss surgical procedures has resulted in a very large post surgical population that has lost 100 pounds or more per individual.
While the health benefits of these dramatic weight loss procedures is saving people’s lives who had suffered for years with morbid obesity- the cosmetic damage done to the body done by carrying very large amounts of weight is often difficult to reverse. During the weight gaining process the epidermis has been expanded, while the dermis has been stretched to the point of actually splitting. The result is permanent stretch marks. Upon completion of the weight loss afforded by gastric bypass or lap band surgery, the patient ends up with literally large amounts of loose and hanging skin. This is certainly not attractive and leaves a cosmetic flaw that affects the patients overall outlook on life despite having been successful at losing a large amount of weight.
The result is a growing number of specialized cosmetic physicians, clinics, spas and medical practices that are tailoring their expertise to tummy tucks, body lifts, thigh lifts, breast lifts, arm lifts and face lifts all designed to aid patients who have recently undergone a large weight loss. There is an entire movement of organized plastic surgery and medical companies that are gearing up to reach out and try and capture this growing market segment of their industry.

Cityrag.com recently posted photos appearing to show a breast augmentation for the often controversial conservative pundit and author Ann Coulter.  Is this a case of the Wonder bra or a real breast enhancement booster ?
If she’s had a breast augmentation, she has nice, modest size implants that take her from an A to a B. Then again, it could also just be a padded and sexy push-up bra she that she probably bought at her favorite Victoria Secret lingerie haunt.

Ann Coulter- breast enhancement ?

News agencies are now reporting that the cosmetic surgeon who taped the late Anna Nicole Smith’s breast augmentation surgery is attempting to sell the tape to a memorabilia dealer.  A judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the release of the 1994 tape at the request of Howard K. Stern. The surgeon stated that he routinely records surgeries with the patient’s permission and promised to keep the video confidential “during the patient’s lifetime.”

It is actually a very common medical practice for the doctor to take before and after photos of surgery patients, and only use the photos with their consent.   At best this is medically unethical and worst case Anna’s former cosmetic surgeon is just a money hungry sleaze willing to exploit her now that she passed away.

Jacksonville is the largest city in the state of Florida—in terms of both area and population—and is the county seat of Duval County. Since 1968, as a result of the consolidation of the city and county government (and a corresponding expansion of the city limits to include almost the entire county), Jacksonville has been the largest city in land area in the contiguous United States.

In 2007, Jacksonville ranked as the United States’ twelfth most populous city, with 794,555 residents. It is the principal city in the Greater Jacksonville Metropolitan Area, a region with a population of 1,300,823, and the fourth largest metropolitan area in the state, as of the 2006 Census Bureau estimates. Jacksonville is the third most populated city on the East Coast, after New York City and Philadelphia.

About 25 miles (40 km) south of the Georgia border, Jacksonville is in the First Coast region of northeast Florida and is centered on the banks of the St. Johns River. The settlement that became Jacksonville was founded in 1791 as Cowford because of its location at a narrow point in the river where cattle once crossed. In 1822, a year after the United States acquired Florida from Spain, the city was renamed for the first military governor of the Florida Territory, General Andrew Jackson, who would later be elected President of the United States. In 2008, Jacksonville was ranked as the third cleanest city in the United States by Yahoo! Real Estate and fourth best outdoor city by Forbes.

This combination of a strong economic base and cultural diverse population- in addition to an outdoor lifestyle that attracts the “beautiful” people, helps make Jacksonville a key center in America’s South Eastern Seaboard for the practicing of the arts of cosmetic, plastic and other enhancement surgeries and in the greater U.S East Coast area. Jacksonville, with its rich culture and diversity and variety of water sports, world class golf and other outdoor recreation draws some of the top medical talent in the country and high end clients travel from all over the world to visit the city’s spas, clinics and top rated hospitals and clinics. If you are considering cosmetic or plastic surgery, then Jacksonville should be on your top list of cities with world class facilities to investigate.

Breast enhancement is one easy way to obtain immediate gratification to improve your self-confidence and image. Breast augmentation recovery involves the importance of resting, taking medication, not lifting weights or exercising, use of compression garment, and then a good bra. However, many people may not understand the importance of finding a post surgery bra that fits properly and gives you the correct amount of support.

Advantages to the Right Post Breast Surgery Bra
The right after breast augmentation bra does not only reduces swelling, but positions the breasts correctly on the chest, shortens recovery time, improves blood circulation, and helps to flush potentially harming body fluid to help maintain beautiful breasts. Alternatively, if you are not wearing suitable garment, you may end up with a backache, thinning skin on your breasts, and or sagging breast, and no women wants that!

Breast Augmentation Recovery Garments

Your bra size and type will vary throughout the healing process. In the beginning of recovery, you want to ensure you have the best support possible with the littlest amount of pain. Your plastic surgeon will advise compression garment. Compression garments assist in minimizing the throbbing sensation, discomfort, and pain. After your first week or so of breast augmentation surgery, another type of support garment may be suggested by your plastic surgeon and the final suggestion might be a sports bra. Sport bras firmly hold the breasts in place providing comfort, with a little less support then a compression garment, but still just enough. Soon enough you will be ready for a no under wire bra with less reinforcement.

Bra Selection for Breast Augmentation Patients is something you should discuss with your breast enhancement physician and post care nurse. Crystal Lewis discussed her bra needs with her follow up nurse and found a wealth of information and brochures available.

Selecting the right bra is not always the easiest thing to do after a breast augmentation. However, it is possible. There are many factors that can help you in finding the bra that best fits your new breast augmentation look. When deciding on the right bra, you want to keep in mind not only the band and cup size determine if it is appropriate for you, but also the location of your breasts as they sit in the cup and how they are positioned. Additionally, bras with under wire are not to be worn any sooner then six weeks after your procedure and then on are only to be worn on occasion.

Always consult a licenses physician or similar medical care provider before undergoing any medical procedure.
