2012-08-30

NEW YORK, NY, August 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) Liposuction is the most popular body sculpting procedure performed in the United States. Frequently included in various plastic surgery procedures, liposuction is an effective and permanent way to remove stubborn fat from nearly every area of your body.

Liposuction can be used to remove fat from:
- Legs - including ankles, calves, knees, inner and outer thigh
- Midsection - including hips, waist, buttocks, flanks/lower back, abdomen, bra-roles/mid back, breasts/chest, arms
- Neck, chin, and face

Clearly, liposuction can be used to target any area of your body with stubborn, excess fat. Your liposuction surgeon will be able to assess your body and help you determine the areas that could most benefit from this particular procedure.

Candidates for Liposuction
Good candidates for liposuction should have excess fat in one or more parts of their body that will not respond to diet or exercise. To be an ideal candidate for liposuction you need to be committed to a healthy lifestyle and within reach of your goal weight. Liposuction can be used to safely remove up to ten pounds of fat from various areas of your body, but is not a weight loss tool.

Candidates for liposuction should be:
- Nonsmokers
- In generally good health
- Prepared for a surgical procedure
- Prepared for a recovery period
- Aware of any risks associated with liposuction

Good candidates should also have realistic expectations. Liposuction can remove fat from your body, but may not produce the exact results you want. It is best to discuss what you can expect with an experienced liposuction surgeon before you commit to this procedure.

Once fat is removed it cannot come back. This does not mean that new fat cannot accumulate. To maintain your liposuction results you will need to adopt a healthy lifestyle. More information about what will be required to help keep you looking and feeling your best after liposuction will be provided by your liposuction surgeon.

Speeding and Car Accidents

2012-08-30

Most cliches have an element of truth, and "speed kills" is no exception. Speeding is one of the most common contributing factors to car accidents and their resulting injuries and fatalities. A major study by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHA) in 1998 found that the risk of being involved in a car accident is increased when a vehicle travels above the average speed, and that the risk of sustaining injury increases exponentially with speed. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding ...

Do You Know How to Recognize Fetal Distress? Your Doctor Might Not

2012-08-30

Fetal distress is a broad term used to describe a number of related conditions that may arise during pregnancy or childbirth. Fetal distress can come on suddenly -- and it can cause serious injury to the mother, as well as long-term health consequences or death for the baby. Most commonly, fetal distress is discovered during labor through the use of fetal monitoring equipment commonly referred to as "fetal monitor strips." But in the delivery room, seconds count, and any delay, doubt or misdiagnosis on the part of your care providers can have disastrous consequences ...

With ERs Busier, Overcrowding Could Put Your Health at Risk

2012-08-30

Every year, more patients are visiting the emergency room. From 2001 to 2008, the number of ER visits by American's jumped from 107.5 million to 123.8 million, according to a 2012 study published this summer in the Annals of Emergency Medicine. The uptick in emergency room visits outpaced the U.S. population growth by 60 percent. Even more of a concern than the sheer volume of ER visits is the increased amount of time patients are spending in the emergency department once they get there. Over the same period of time, the study found nearly a 30 percent increase in the ...

Braking Bad: Truck Drivers, Defective Brakes and Crashes

2012-08-30

The cause of some motor vehicle crashes is readily apparent, like drunk driving or traffic violations. For certain accidents, however, further investigation is needed to uncover what led to a collision and any resulting injuries or deaths. When it comes to truck accidents, two common factors are defective brakes and the actions or inaction of truck drivers. While truck or brake manufacturers may be held accountable for defective brakes under product liability laws, negligent commercial drivers and their carriers may also be found responsible for accidents. Defective ...

Bus Crashes Becoming a Routine Occurrence in Toronto's Daily Commute

2012-08-30

Public transportation can save you time, money and aggravation -- that is, if it gets you to your destination in one piece. In Toronto, the rash of bus and railcar accidents over the past year seriously calls into question the certainty of that prospect. On August 2, the latest major bus incident culminated with charges of careless driving and failure to stop at a red light for the 55-year-old driver. According to Toronto police, the bus struck a Nissan Altima in the intersection of Peter and Richmond streets before hitting a southbound taxi and careening into a beloved ...

NHTSA Urged to Maintain Its Support for Annual Vehicle Inspections

2012-08-30

When common sense safety measures and wise vehicle registration policies intersect, real lives are saved and many serious injuries from car accidents averted. California has long been among states that require vehicle safety inspections under some circumstances. According to AAA, all non-resident vehicles require a safety inspection when first registered in California, and CHP officers can require a roadside inspection if they suspect a vehicle is unsafe. Sound reporting practices and inspection requirements can help regulators recognize common auto defects and product ...

California Woman Wrongfully Denied Long-Term Disability Benefits

2012-08-30

Individuals dealing with so-called "invisible illnesses" often have a difficult time obtaining appropriate disability benefits. Recently, an employee was receiving long-term disability benefits due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, an illness with no obvious symptoms to outsiders. Her employer decided to terminate her benefits, despite being completely disabled by her symptoms, and she disputed that decision. A U.S. District court judge agreed with the woman since evidence proved she was, indeed, still eligible for benefits. Workers with "Invisible Illnesses" ...
