SCOTTSDALE, AZ, October 31, 2010 (Press-News.org) These days, breast augmentation is so commonplace that it's almost a routine procedure for women. However, breast augmentation is still a plastic surgery that requires a recovery period and appropriate care to promote healing.
The recovery period after breast augmentation surgery can be shorter or longer depending on the incision site and placement of the breast. No matter what type of breast augmentation you have, there are some general guidelines you should follow when recovering from breast augmentation:
Rest
For the three to five days following the breast augmentation surgery, you should try to rest as much as possible so that the body can recuperate from the surgery. During this time, have a loved one, friend, or spouse help you complete everyday tasks like getting dressed or preparing food.
Avoid Baths
During the first few days after your breast augmentation, your breasts will be wrapped in a surgical bandage so that swelling will be as minimal as possible. These bandages should stay on your breasts until removed by your plastic surgeon. During the first few days, you need to avoid baths and any washing should be done carefully so as not to disturb the surgery site.
Return to Exercising and Everyday Activities
After resting for the days after the surgery, you will want to begin a light exercise regimen like regularly walking. Light exercise will stimulate blood circulation and help swelling subside. Exercises and light massaging tips will be provided by your plastic surgeon so that you achieve the best breast augmentation results you can.
Swelling and Scarring
When an incision is made in the skin, it is virtually impossible to avoid a scar. Fortunately, your breast surgeon will make every effort to place your breast augmentation incision in a place so that it is concealed by the natural curves of your body.
For many breast augmentation patients, swelling can continue for weeks after the procedure has been completed. Even after the stitches have been taken out, it is not uncommon for residual swelling to occur. While this may make your breasts feel unnatural or hard, over time, the swelling will subside and you will be able to enjoy your new breasts.
Breast augmentation is not just designed to increase the size of breasts. Breast augmentation can also reshape breasts or make breasts look more symmetrical. For many women, breast augmentation allows them to wear the clothes they want and it can provide a boost in self-esteem and self-confidence.

There is nothing more beautiful than taking a scenic weekend drive through Northern California's wine country. Sitting just an hour north of San Francisco, Napa Valley is one of the state's most popular tourist destinations, bringing in more than five million visitors each year.

Incidence of Medical Errors Rising
2010-10-31
Recently, the Canadian Medical Association held its 143rd annual meeting in Ontario, Canada. At the meeting, Colorado family physician Dr. John Findley reported his findings about the rising incidence of medical errors in the United States.
According to Findley, medical errors have increased because of the breakdown in doctor-patient relationships and medical developments, including the emergence of more than 4,000 drugs and 6,000 diagnoses, all leading to the "mechanization" of medicine.
Statistics cited by Findley indicate that almost 20 percent of the one million ...
Infant Deaths Linked to Sleep Positioners
2010-10-31
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have received 12 reports in the past 13 years of infants between the ages of one and four months who died when they were suffocated by or became trapped in a sleep positioner.
"The deaths and dangerous situations resulting from the use of infant sleep positioners are a serious concern to CPSC," said CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. "We urge parents and caregivers to take our warning seriously and stop using these sleep positioners, so that children can have a safer sleep."

Shift From Paper to Electronic Medical Records: Cause for Concern?
2010-10-31
From banking and managing finances to shopping and ordering pizza, almost everything these days is done electronically. Not every sector of society has been quick to embrace the electronic age, however. The medical community has remained behind the digital curve.
For a long time, the medical community kept handwritten records for patients and used handwritten orders for prescriptions. Backed by a $19.5 billion boost from the stimulus package passed in February 2009, though, the medical community is slowly starting to implement digital record keeping, moving toward widespread ...
Virginia DUI Penalties Among Toughest in Nation
2010-10-31
Motorists on Virginia's scenic roads take note: if you drive under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs (even legal prescription medications if they have a sedating effect), you will be caught, and you will face stiff penalties.
Virginia's lawmakers have taken a firm stance against impaired driving in an attempt to slow the tide of DUI-related crashes, injuries and fatalities -- an alcohol-related crash occurs about every two minutes somewhere in America, and every half an hour someone dies in one. Virginia's DUI laws are no-nonsense and provide some of the most ...
No-Fault Divorce Comes to New York
2010-10-31
With a flick of the pen, Governor David Paterson has ended New York's holdout as the only state in the union to disallow no-fault divorce. Prior to the signing of the law, which took effect October 12th, New Yorkers were able to divorce only by proving fault for abandonment, adultery, cruelty or imprisonment.
There was, however, a way for couples to divorce without fault prior to the new law. This required couples to enter into a separation agreement and live apart for at least one year. The catch with this option comes in the agreement; couples had to agree on all of ...
Do No Harm; If A Doctor Does, They Need To Admit To Conduct That Injures
2010-10-31
Hippocrates insisted that "The physician must...have two special objects in view with regard to disease, namely, to do good or to do no harm." It is with the faith that their physicians will "do good" or at least "do no harm" that patients seek out medical care. Recent studies have indicated that physicians are poorly trained in matters of patient safety and practice in an environment that often work against the wellbeing of those seeking their expertise.
A recent study by the National Patient Safety Foundation noted that medical schools today focus principally on providing ...
The Use of Skype Ordered in Family Court
2010-10-31
For people in family court, staying in touch, especially via court-ordered visitation arrangements, can be a challenge. But some courts are implementing new high-tech approaches to address old family law issues. A New York judge recently ruled that as a condition of her out-of-state move away to Florida, a Long Island mother must make her two children available to talk to their father through Skype, an online video conferencing service.
Although this was the first time such a condition has been ordered in New York, a number of other states have begun experimenting with ...
The Rise of Gray Divorce
2010-10-31
The Baby Boomer generation gave us the summer of love and a break from some of the traditions of the previous generations. Now it appears the Baby Boomer generation is also giving us a normalization of divorce, especially later in life.
Despite an overall decline in the United States divorce rate, divorces among those married 20, 30 and even 40 years appear to be on the rise. According to Erica Manfred, a New York divorce expert, this rising number of splits between long-married couples is referred to as "gray divorce."
