2011-02-03

PHOENIX, AZ, February 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) Advances in plastic surgery have improved the options available when undergoing a facelift. This is no longer a one-size-fits-all procedure. Instead, your plastic surgeon can design a custom facelift to address your unique aesthetic goals and physical attributes.

If you are just looking to minimize the signs of aging in your mid-facial region, cheeks, and jowls, then a short scar facelift might be the right option for you. Also called a minimal access cranial suspension (MACS) lift, the short scar facelift offers you the following benefits compared to a traditional facelift:

- Less scarring
- Shorter time in the operating room
- Shorter recovery period
- Performed under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia
- Natural looking results

The short scar facelift is a much less extensive procedure than a traditional facelift. Your skin will not be separated from the muscle and tissue in the region, resulting in a shorter incision and less bruising.

Short Scar Facelift Candidates

The majority of short scar facelift patients are in their 40s or 50s and are looking to reduce the signs of aging in the mid-facial region. In some cases, your plastic surgeon may recommend additional procedures in conjunction with a short scar facelift for enhanced results. These may include:

- Brow lift
- Blepharoplasty
- Laser skin resurfacing

Short Scar Facelift Procedure

The short scar facelift procedure is performed using local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Your plastic surgeon will make a small incision in front of your ear. Underlying muscle and facial tissue will be tightened, and sagging skin will be removed. Your procedure will only take one to two hours to complete.

Recovery for a short scar facelift generally takes one to three weeks. It is important to follow your plastic surgeon's instructions carefully to facilitate the healing process. You should experience very natural looking results which provide a much more youthful facial appearance. Due to the small size and discrete location of the incision, your scars will be minimal and barely noticeable to others.

The Effect of Technology on the Fourth Amendment

2011-02-03

The events of September 11th have permanently changed the way law enforcement fights crime. The Fourth Amendment has long offered protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, but slowly, those protections are being minimized by new laws and court decisions upholding invasive investigatory tactics by state and federal agencies. Many rules have been passed to help prevent terrorism from spreading, to allow officials to detect those who would do harm to our country. While these rules have helped officials keep track of potential terrorists, it also allowed law enforcement ...

Cervical Cancer Impacting Young Women

2011-02-03

The importance of a yearly physical has long been stressed by medical professionals to help detect serious illnesses before they become problems. Doctors alerted to medical conditions can help proscribe a treatment plan which will put patients on the road to complete recovery. All too often, physicians miss signs that lead to tragic consequences. For young women, hard to detect cancers may develop and spread because of a physician's inability to diagnose the cancer at an early stage. The rate of survival for cancers increases the earlier it is detected. Breast cancer ...

Bankruptcy Fears Adding More Gray Hairs to Our Aging Population

2011-02-03

The past few years have seen a sharp uptick in bankruptcy filings across age, economic and cultural lines. Surprisingly, however, the biggest spike comes from people over the age of 65, a demographic that previously had one of the lowest levels of bankruptcy filings. Demos, a New York City-based public policy advocacy and research group, shows that there has been a 26% increase in the past five years alone. A landmark 2010 study performed by the University of Michigan Law School demonstrates the huge rise in elder bankruptcy filings as well as another surprise: the average ...

Medical Testimony Can Be the Key in Criminal Defense Cases

2011-02-03

What may seem like an open and shut case on the surface can have surprising results, especially once all of the facts are presented. Take for instance a recent case in which the defendant was charged with vehicular homicide after he and a co-worker were involved in a car accident resulting in the co-worker's death. Both the defendant, who was driving the work truck, and the co-worker, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had been drinking prior to the accident. The defendant lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree. On the surface, someone might assume that the passenger's ...

The Need to Protect Inmates From Sexual Assault

2011-02-03

Being sent to prison, knowing that for a period of time that one will have to live behind bars, is traumatic in and of itself. If that wasn't bad enough, some inmates suffer further humiliation by being sexually assaulted at the hands of fellow inmates and prison guards. At times, such indignity is not adequately addressed or is ignored by prison officials, leaving an inmate to be a victim of further sexual assaults and rapes. In one instance, an inmate-victim's complaints were ignored, leaving him only one option to escape the assaults perpetrated upon him -- attacking ...

Divorce in a Down Real Estate Market

2011-02-03

As a result, millions of homeowners now have underwater mortgages where they owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. A fiscal nightmare, the problem has acutely affected many couples contemplating divorce. Before the downturn in the housing market, the division of a couple's assets often centered on what was done with the home. Couples often used to argue over who was able to keep the property since it represented stability and the opportunity ...

Sex Offenders Falling Through the Cracks?

2011-02-03

A recent, small-sample study performed by the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported high rates of employees at both public and private schools who have convictions for sex-related crimes. No one employee group was singled out in the study, and researchers found people with records of inappropriate sexual conduct in all sorts of positions, including teachers, volunteers, aides, support staff and contractors. Of the 15 high-profile cases investigated by the GAO, 11 of those involved abusers who had previously targeted children at least once before. Several ...

Determining Disability: How Does the SSA Decide?

2011-02-03

While the Social Security Administration (SSA) is a federal agency, the leg work in determining if one is disabled is done at the state level by state workers. They follow the guidelines and procedures set forth by the SSA when determining if an applicant for SSD is disabled. Thus, Michigan SSD applicants will have their applications determined by the Michigan Disability Determination Services workers. To receive Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, the applicant must be found to be disabled. Your doctor will be asked for information about your medical condition, ...
