HOUSTON, TX, March 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Women of all ages decide they want to undergo breast surgery to improve their profile or figure. Understanding that there are different kinds of breast surgery procedures that have their own unique benefits is important. Some women want to know how they can benefit from a breast lift versus breast augmentation. Knowing that a breast lift may benefit you more than breast augmentation can help you decide which procedure is best.
Breast Lift
Also known as mastopexy, a breast lift is better for women who are more concerned about sagging or drooping breasts than breast size. Women who have become mothers often have sagging breasts after breast feeding their children. They, as well as older women, whose breasts sag as a result of aging and gravity, may be good candidates for the breast lift.
Breast lifts can be done with or without breast implants. In many cases, simply restoring the breasts to a more youthful appearance is enough.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is what most people think of when they think of breast surgery. Breast augmentation includes increasing the size and changing the shape of the breasts with breast implants. It can be done in conjunction with a breast lift to give women the breast size and shape they had before pregnancy or when they were young.
Breast augmentation offers the choice of two types of breast implants. Saline breast implants and silicone breast implants each have their own benefits. There are placement options and incision options that need to be discussed with the plastic surgeon.
Although breast augmentation and breast lift are two different plastic surgery procedures, you may be a candidate for both of them. Learning about which procedure is best for you will help in your final decision and ultimate satisfaction for years to come.
If you would like to learn more about breast lifts or breast augmentation and are in the Houston, Texas area, please visit the website of Dr. Michael Ciaravino today at www.thebodydoc.com.

China's urbanization unlikely to lead to fast growth of middle class: UW geographer
2012-03-01
The number of people living in China's cities, which last year for the first time surpassed 50 percent of the national population, is considered a boon for the consumer goods market. That is based on the assumption that there will be more families with more disposable income when poor farmers from China's countryside move to cities and become middle-class industrial and office workers.
But the assumption overlooks a policy from the era of Chinese leader Mao Zedong that restricts the upward mobility of its rural citizens, says a University of Washington geographer.

A 2-pronged attack: Why loss of STAT1 is bad news
2012-03-01
The so-called signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are involved in the regulation of cell division but details of their functions remain a matter of conjecture. In the development of breast cancer, the role of STAT1 is particularly interesting as high levels of STAT1 activity are known to be correlated with a better prognosis for breast cancer patients. There is a considerable body of evidence that STAT1 can act to suppress tumour growth in breast cancer but how does it function? Important clues are provided by the latest results of Christine Schneckenleithner ...
Inherited epigenetics produced record fast evolution
2012-03-01
The domestication of chickens has given rise to rapid and extensive changes in genome function. A research team at Linköping University in Sweden has established that the changes are heritable, although they do not affect the DNA structure.
Humans kept Red Junglefowl as livestock about 8000 years ago. Evolutionarily speaking, the sudden emergence of an enormous variety of domestic fowl of different colours, shapes and sizes has occurred in record time. The traditional Darwinian explanation is that over thousands of years, people have bred properties that have arisen through ...
Understanding Your Children's Changing Needs When Creating a Virginia Child Custody Agreement
2012-03-01
Child custody agreements are useful in helping parents define their roles as caretakers and reach compromises about raising their children, ensuring that children's needs are met and that they are consistently cared for to the satisfaction of both parents. When issues arise, child custody agreements can help parents resolve them.
Virginia child custody and/or visitation agreements are tools in the parenting process and they do have limitations. Even with clearly defined agreements, parents can face challenges with co-parents as they balance their roles in their children's ...
Legal Protections Against Pregnancy Discrimination in the Workplace
2012-03-01
A business executive is passed over for an important assignment after she announces her pregnancy. A single mother is verbally harassed by co-workers about her pregnancy. A waitress is denied extra rest breaks medically needed to help keep her pregnancy-induced high blood pressure under control. An office worker is hired, but the employer changes its mind after finding out she is expecting.
All of these situations constitute potentially illegal pregnancy discrimination under federal employment law, and under the discrimination laws of most states. Unfortunately, these ...
Young people face double penalty in a slow job market
2012-03-01
The latest official unemployment figures show that unemployment among young people has soared to 22.3 per cent, higher than the recession of the 1990s, while the overall unemployment rate is nine per cent. New research from Understanding Society, a study of more than 40,000 UK households, has examined what is driving this uneven employment pattern and finds that young people suffer from a 'double-penalty' in their attempts to find and keep a job.
The rise in youth unemployment figures is due to young people being more likely than older workers to be laid off, thus swelling ...
Social Host Law Hold Adults Liable for Teen Drinking
2012-03-01
In 1996, following a graduation party in Massachusetts, an 18-year old boy was involved in a fatal car accident after the car he was driving slammed into a telephone pole. At the time of the accident, the boy's blood alcohol content (BAC) was twice the legal limit for adults of .08.
An adult hosted the graduation party, though the adult did not provide the alcohol directly to the minor. And because he did not directly provide the alcohol, the host was acquitted of any wrongdoing.
While it was a tragedy, the teenager's death and the subsequent acquittal of the party ...
New test can better predict successful IVF embryos, scientists say
2012-03-01
Scientists at University College Dublin have discovered a new way of measuring the potential success rate of an embryo before it is transferred back into the womb during in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
According to the findings published online in the journal Fertility and Sterility, the fluid within a woman's ovaries that surrounds the egg or oocyte holds metabolic information that can improve predictions on which embryo is more likely to lead to pregnancy.
"We analysed samples of the follicular fluid surrounding the immature ovum or egg before it was retrieved for IVF," ...
Workforce from the digital cloud
2012-03-01
By means of cloud computing, enterprises can access scalable computing power and storage capacity. A people cloud, by contrast, supplies a scalable number of workers via the internet. It is used when non-automated tasks are executed, such as allocating images, searching information, or writing texts. The challenge is to maintain the quality of the work results on a constant high level. Now, this is achieved by a quality management system developed by KIT.
Also in times of constantly increasing computing power, people are indispensable for executing certain tasks. Such ...
