2011-07-01

NEW YORK, NY, July 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) There are several different incision patterns and techniques used in New York City breast lift surgeries. Some of these techniques have been used for years, while other incision procedures are relatively new.

If you are thinking about having breast lift surgery, be sure to first educate your self on all the available incision options. Then speak to a New York City breast lift surgeon about your options, and which incision would best meet your needs. Some of the most common incision types are described below.

The Anchor Incision

An anchor incision is made around the perimeter of your areola and stretches down vertically down from the areola to the breast crease, and then horizontally along your breast crease. This type of incision may be recommended if you suffer from severe sagging and cannot be helped sufficiently by another type of incision. Keep in mind that an anchor incision will cause the most scarring. The anchor incision is the oldest type of breast lift incision and is commonly used when breast lift surgery is combined with breast reduction surgery.

The Donut Incision

The donut incision is made only around the perimeter of your areola, and is also called the "peri-areolar" incision. This particular incision technique is ideal if you have a mild to moderate degree of sagging, but can also be used in certain cases if your sagging is severe. An experienced New York City breast lift surgeon can help you determine if the donut lift is appropriate for you.

The Lollipop Incision

The lollipop incision is created around the perimeter of the areola and vertically down from the areola to the crease in your breast. Also called a "keyhole" incision, this technique is suitable for women who have a moderate degree of sagging and are not candidates for a "donut" incision.

The Crescent Incision

While less common than the other techniques, the crescent incision is created along the upper half of your areola. Your New York breast lift surgeon will remove a crescent-shaped piece of skin is above that line, and attach the surrounding skin to your areola. This type of incision is suitable only for women with a small degree of sagging.

A breast lift is a very personal decision, and you should commit to it only after speaking with a qualified New York City breast lift surgeon. Because of the different incision options and their requirements, you may be a candidate for one and not another. Keep in mind that most women who undergo breast augmentation surgery will experience some type of permanent scarring. The scars will fade with time and many patients feel that a little scar is a small price to pay for an attractive bust line and enhanced self-esteem.

If you believe you may benefit from a breast lift procedure and you live in New York City, please visit the webpage for New York City breast augmentation surgeon George Lefkovits, M.D. today for more information at www.drlefkovits.com.

Why do we share stories, news and information with others?

2011-07-01

People often share stories, news, and information with the people around them. We forward online articles to our friends, share stories with our co-workers at the water cooler, and pass along rumors to our neighbors. Such social transmission has been going on for thousands of years, and the advent of social technologies like texting, Facebook, and other social media sites has only made it faster and easier to share content with others. But why is certain content shared more than others and what drives people to share? Well, according to Jonah Berger, the author of a new ...

Red wine: Exercise in a bottle?

2011-07-01

Bethesda, MD—As strange as it sounds, a new research study published in the FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org), suggests that the "healthy" ingredient in red wine, resveratrol, may prevent the negative effects that spaceflight and sedentary lifestyles have on people. The report describes experiments in rats that simulated the weightlessness of spaceflight, during which the group fed resveratrol did not develop insulin resistance or a loss of bone mineral density, as did those who were not fed resveratrol. According to Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of the ...

Fireworks Safety Tips: Don't Blow Off Your Hand - 10 Ways to Stay Safe With Fireworks

2011-07-01

With July 4 fast approaching, MSNBC reports that heavy drought and wildfires burning in parts of Florida have caused many affected counties and cities to ban the use of fireworks. Florida Division of Forestry Annaleasa Winter says, "It only takes one spark to ignite a blazing wildfire that could threaten your home and, possibly, your whole neighborhood. The risk is just too great," as News 4 Jax reports regarding similar drought and wildfires last year in Florida. 2011 is no different. But, like every July 4 holiday, you're going to get together with ...

CSHL team identifies enzyme that is an important regulator of aggressive breast cancer development

2011-07-01

Cold Spring Harbor, NY – Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have identified an enzyme that appears to be a significant regulator of breast cancer development. Called PTPN23, the enzyme is a member of a family called protein tyrosine phosphatases, or PTPs, that plays a fundamental role in switching cell signaling on and off. When the scientists suppressed the expression of PTPN23 in human mammary cells, they noted a cascade of effects that included the cells breaking away from their anchors; their scattering; and their invasion through extracellular ...

NIH funds massive genome studies that identify genetics behind white blood cell counts

2011-07-01

WHAT: A trio of large-scale genome-wide association studies, or GWAS, have identified more than 15 gene variants responsible for the diversity of white blood cell counts among whites, African-Americans, and Japanese. Supported in part by the National Institutes of Health, each study examined the genomes of tens of thousands of people. Combined, the studies offer the first comprehensive analysis into why some people, and some populations, have more or fewer white blood cells than others. All three articles will be published online June 30 in PLoS Genetics. White ...

Heart transplant patients at risk for serious skin cancers

2011-07-01

A new study published in the American Journal of Transplantation reveals that there is a significant risk of serious skin cancers, including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, in heart transplant patients. When people receive heart transplants, they need immune medications to keep their body from rejecting the transplant. The changes to the immune system they experience as a result of the medications can also make them more susceptible to developing cancers. Led by Murad Alam, MD, MSCI, of Northwestern University, researchers studied 10 years of patient information ...

11-year-old Abiah Jones recently visited Morey's Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey on a school trip. She and other students were being rewarded for having top grades in their class. However, tragedy struck when Jones fell from a ferris wheel gondola and was killed. A preliminary report indicates that she was alone on the gondola seat near the top of the wheel when she fell nearly 160 feet. According to local police, the ride was in working order with all safety procedures in place, and that it would be impossible for a properly seated patron to fall from the ride unless ...

Up to 220,000 California children excluded from health care reform due to immigrant status

2011-07-01

Restrictions on eligibility for health care reform programs will result in the potential exclusion of up to 220,000 children from affordable health care coverage in California, according to a new policy brief from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. The number represents approximately 20 percent of all uninsured children in California. Of those children, up to 40,000 may be eligible for coverage but may not apply, due to confusion about new rules governing access to both the California Health Benefit Exchange and the state's expanded Medi-Cal program. The ...

Discovery of genetic mutations better diagnose myelodysplastic syndromes

2011-07-01

Boston, MA - For patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), choosing the appropriate treatment depends heavily on the prognosis. Those patients at the highest risk of dying from their disease are typically offered the most aggressive therapies, while patients at lower risk could live several years with MDS, needing only supportive care or other relatively side-effect free treatments. While some clinical variables are useful, current methods for predicting prognosis for individual patients are not ideal. Patients with the same clinical features can have very different ...
