A stay of execution for SINA's
SINA's stock soared 18% yesterday, after a government official was quoted as saying that Twitter-like microblogs -- including SINA's industry-leading Weibo -- should be regulated in order to "serve the works of the Party and the nation."
This may seem like a problematic statement, but at least it's not a death sentence. Fearing the chatty nature of Weibo users, and seeing how microblogs have been used to overturn restrictive governments in other countries, the easy way out would have been for China to shut down the Web 2.0 revolution.
But SINA still has a lot of ground to make up. Even after yesterday's buoyant close, shares are trading 37% below their April highs.
We know that China has a heavy hand in cyberspace. A search for "Tiananmen Square" conveniently whitewashes any references to the deadly 1989 protests. The ability for anyone to freely post on Weibo or upload videos to Tudou
Investors don't need to panic, even though it may be a good time to separate China's dot-coms into two separate categories. Web 2.0 darlings including SINA Weibo, video-sharing site Tudou, and social networking website Renren
If investors want to dabble in the booming online economy in China, the safer bets will be sites that either encourage business or simply rebroadcast vetted content. A few possible winners here would be employment recruiting website 51job
The coast isn't clear yet for the 2.0 leaders -- and it remains to be seen if they can grow in popularity if and when the tighter clamps kick in -- but at least this doesn't appear to be a dead end.

Analyzing complex 3D models using finite element analysis software requires suppressing parts that are not likely to influence the analysis results, but may significantly improve the computational performance both in terms of mesh size and mesh quality. The feature suppression step often depends on the context and application. Currently, most analysts perform this step manually. This step can take a long time to perform on a complex model and can be tedious in nature. In this paper, we present a rule-based approach to feature suppression. We have developed a decision-tree based representation for capturing feature suppression rules. We have also developed utilities in Pro/Engineer CAD system to identify features that meet these rules and suppress them. We present several examples to illustrate the value of the proposed approach.

"I received a free sample in exchange for writing a review on my blog"
The Sling Braiding Traditions and Techniques by Rodrick Owen and Terry Newhouse Flynn is quite a great kit and has many excellent designs to be created inside. I love that the guide is a perfect one for beginners with everything you need to get started is included. However, even experts can find this as a fun guide to create some new and unique designed slings that will catch a ton of attention. Also, the book doesn't just cover a few parts of the world, but a mix of many places around with all sorts of designs.
The best part is that this isn't just a book but the braiding card is included and comes in handy to create these beautiful slings. Plus, when done they can be a used as a great addition to other objects. Also, this book is a great reference to learn how these sling braids were used during the past, in history. How they have been used as weapons in many different periods of time. However, I see them more as a fashionable piece of art that would be a nifty cool item to use as a jewelry, toy or maybe a secret weapon if needed.
sling braids, which there are so many beautiful designs, is well worth the extra steps and strands once completed!
Finally, the book has everything you need, with the tools, history of these brilliant braids used as weapons and all the techniques used to create them. This is not a small book, but a guide that has so much insight into the wonderful uses and designs of sling braids. So with all that said, I really love the entire kit and can't wait to start braiding!
Rodrick Owen's passion for studying the mysteries of Andean braids has influenced his creative work and writing. He is the author of two other books on Andean and Japanese braiding and the coauthor, with textile artist and art educator Terry Newhouse Flynn, of Andean Sling Braids: New Techniques for Textile Artists.

Agile and adaptive business processes and supporting IT infrastructure are
the holy grail of enterprise applications. The industry is heading in the
right direction to start delivering on this promise. SOAs (service-oriented
architectures) promise to enable businesses to align their business processes
to customer needs, and optimize them to improve customer responsiveness and
drive efficiency. A process-oriented realization of SOAs is necessary to
deliver on this promise.
The process-oriented model is based on an SOA component model augmented with
an underlying formal model in which business processes are expressed through
orchestration and choreography. This model blends the bottom-up framework of
SOA with a top-down, process-centric view. By simplifying the set of
activities that are part of the life cycle of business processes, we'll
outline how this approach is... (more)
Service-Oriented Architectures offer a number of potential benefits: They can
provide new opportunities to connect enterprises with customers, partners,
and suppliers; improve efficiency through greater reuse of services across
the enterprise; and offer greater flexibility by breaking down IT silos. But
these benefits make security more critical than ever. Why? Services are
highly distributed, multi-owner, deployed to heterogeneous platforms, and
often accessible across departments and enterprises - and this creates major
security issues for developers, architects, and security a... (more)
Business processes integrate systems, partners, and people to achieve key
strategic and operations objectives. Examples of business processes include
getting and filling orders, processing invoices, reconciling shipping notices
and received goods and processing insurance claims and loan applications. The
Holy Grail of enterprise computing is adaptive business processes that can be
defined, refined, and optimized to respond to changing business environments,
government regulations and competitive pressures. This vision has followed us
through the evolution of mainframes, Managemen... (more)

DEATHCULT – Pleading For Death-Choking On Life MLP
Deeply rooted in the entrails of Zürich´s most unknown corners, lurking shadows and fattening its entity with vice and perversion , crawls Deathcult. A specimen of stagnant death metal of the darkest and most unsophisticated habits, whose new poisonous snatch "Pleading For Death-Choking On Life", will be shortly released by Me Saco Un Records.
After the very first signs of evidence about its existence with their "MMXII" demo released on a limited run of 100 copies, this Swiss trident (featuring KzR of Bölzer and Witchchrist) unloads their decimation masterplan with this EP, which shall be followed later by their debut full lenght album, via Invictus production.
Listen to the advanced track:
KEVER – Eon Of Cycling Death MLP
Dragged we were since the very first exposition and pretty much we are still at this point, by the enterprise of Kever's writing strengths and fluent skills: all in all and their whole as a one. It is not that easy to find bands capable of dominating all disciplines when comes to death metal, with such authority. It would be necessary to look circa twenty something years ago to find recordings of this nature: compositions, instrumental abilities, production, arrangements, equilibrium, intention and inspiration, side with each other, creating not another regular monthly release but one of those mini LPs, that absolutely won't and shouldn't pass unnoticed.

Finally a nice (but cold) sunny day...
Even though I finished this baby blanket several days ago, I've been patiently waiting for a sunny day to take a picture. It's still not the greatest. I have a hard time taking pictures of blankets :( This is my first official finished object of 2007!
I've also been working on my new knitting project. This is a picture of day three of my very first sock ever, not including Christmas stockings knit on two needles!
So far so good, as I'm using wool-ease and an easy pattern for my first pair of socks. Seems to be working out well...will let you know more in a few days or so. Then I'll have to broaden my horizons and try some other sock patterns. I have yarn for two more pairs of socks!
happy knitting :)

Distinct Patterns of Association of Variants at 11q23.3 Chromosomal Region with Coronary Artery Disease and Dyslipidemia in the Population of Andhra Pradesh, India
Distinct Patterns of Association of Variants at 11q23.3 Chromosomal Region with Coronary Artery Disease and Dyslipidemia in the Population of Andhra Pradesh, India - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
In our attempt to comprehensively understand the nature of association of variants at 11q23.3 apolipoprotein gene cluster region, we genotyped a prioritized set of 96 informative SNPs using Fluidigm customized SNP genotyping platform in a sample of 508 coronary artery disease CAD cases and 516 controls. We found 12 SNPs as significantly associated with CAD at P <0.05, albeit only four rs2849165, rs17440396, rs6589566 and rs633389 of these remained significant after Benjamin Hochberg correction. Of the four, while rs6589566 confers risk to CAD, the other three SNPs reduce risk for the disease. Interaction of variants that belong to regulatory genes BUD13 and ZPR1 with APOA5-APOA4 intergenic variants is also observed to significantly increase the risk towards CAD. Further, ROC analysis of the risk scores of the 12 significant SNPs suggests that our study has substantial power to confer these genetic variants as predictors of risk for CAD, as illustrated by AUC 0.763; 95% CI: 0.729–0.798, p = <0.0001. On the other hand, the protective SNPs of CAD are associated with elevated Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Total Cholesterol levels, hence with dyslipidemia, in our sample of controls, which may suggest distinct effects of the variants at 11q23.3 chromosomal region towards CAD and dyslipidemia. It may be necessary to replicate these findings in the independent and ethnically heterogeneous Indian samples in order to establish this as an Indian pattern. However, only functional analysis of the significant variants identified in our study can provide more precise understanding of the mechanisms involved in the contrasting nature of their effects in manifesting dyslipidemia and CAD.

Room was fairly small, but overall had its requirements and no issues. Hotel provided buckets of water and soup for wellies and shoes outside the hotel and provided information about getting to Park Life itself. Good stay. Back again this year :)

Sweet route to greater yields
Three years ago, biotechnologists demonstrated in field trials that they could increase the productivity of maize by introducing a rice gene into the plant that regulated the accumulation of sucrose in kernels and led to more kernels per maize plant.
They knew that the rice gene affected the performance of a natural chemical in maize, trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P), which influences the distribution of sucrose in the plant. But they were keen to discover more intimate details of the relationships governing the increased productivity.
"Now we know far more about how this yield effect has been achieved," says Matthew Paul, who led the anglo-american team from Rothamsted Research and Syngenta, a biotechnology company that also funded the work. The team's findings are published today in Plant Physiology.
The transgenic maize depressed levels of T6P in the phloem, a major component of the plant's transportation network, allowing more sucrose to move to developing kernels and, serendipitously, increasing rates of photosynthesis, thereby producing even more sucrose for more kernels.
The team also chose to target the phloem within the plant's reproductive structures. "These structures are particularly sensitive to drought – female kernels will abort," says Paul, a plant biochemist at Rothamsted. "Keeping sucrose flowing within the structures prevents this abortion."
He adds: "This is a first-in-its-kind study that shows the technology operating effectively both in the field and in the laboratory. We also think that this could be transferred to other cereals, such as wheat and rice."
The paper describing the earlier field trials was published in 2015 in Nature Biotechnology.

It cost me a ridiculous amount of money. I am tied into a contract with o2 so I have had to buy the 3gS on payg. I will swap my contract sim into the new fone.
I can't wait lol ! I am THE original GadgetGirl.
Meanwhile I am still sneezing, bunged-up nose, feeling yukky. It's been about a week and a half now. Hope I'm feeling better soon. The school summer holidays are almost upon us. 6 weeks of keeping a 5 year old amused. Good grief !
My studies are going ok for my course. Anatomy and physiology are hard work. Think I might be reading that book a million times before it sinks in. But it is soooo interesting ! I am really going to enjoy the course. Herbal medicine has fascinated me since I was a little girl, collecting rose petals and plants and trying to make "magic potions" !

Today I've come across this little period property and thought it was a potentially good property for investment. It's a nice two bedroom terrace house situated in the popular 'with tenants' location of The Mounts.
Howkins and Harrison are the marketing agent and they have listed it for £135,000, and to me from the details it looks like it's in an 'available to rent' condition immediately upon completion. I would suggest a rental valuation in the region of £600.00 – £650.00 pcm. So, potentially you could be looking at an annual return of 5.3 – 5.7% before fees etc.
At the moment, property is not hanging around, so if you are interested, you best go down to the agents to see about how to go forward.

Unitentionally BitchyI'm a Bitch....sometimes
Okay, maybe more like all the time but like not intentionally, you know?
Okay, you probably don't know and i sound like a raving lunatic right now. That sounds more like me anyways. The thing is sometimes I'm a bitch on purpose, but 90% of the time i'm a bitch accidentally. Its like I say things without thinking, which is why you will get quotes like "the smell of books makes me horny" out of me. I don't intend to be funny, I just say things that are.
Well i'm the same way about being a bitch. I don't intend to be bitchy, i just am sometimes. And then i feel awful later when i realize how badly i sounded earlier. I mean i embrace being a bitch. I have bitch face, i know how to run guys off, and i know how to make people feel 2 inches tall. But i don't always mean to be a bitch, i'm just one of those smart socially awkward people who people think are partially insane (and i am).
Yes, I am aware this post makes no sense and i am totally okay with that.
Anyways since its that time of year when people say what they are thankful for, i figured i should make my list.
I Am Thankful For:
- Chuck (Adam Baldwin, Zach Levi and Josh Gomez= best thing on tv)
- Glee
- Baby Velociraptor (AKA baby sis)
- My Boobs (36 C baby!)
- That i have a job- even if its low pay and i have to whore myself out
- Nixon and Kennedy (even if they throw me in their kennels)
- Having the house to myself for the next week
- Getting wine drunk
- Guys thinking i'm hot even though i'm a bitch
- My blogger readers and friends (why do you people like me?)
- Fucking cold weather, then hot weather, then cold weather again in the same fucking day!
- People who finish eating and then sit at my table for another hour, i need to make money bitches!
- Mushrooms
- People who don't tip 15%
- Having to pick up dogshit (what do you mean my dogs can't poop in your yard?)
- College loan payments
- Having to drive 30 minutes to get to a bookstore
- The judges on Project Runway

The first, introduced by our treasurer Steve Bourke, is to raise the membership fees. This was accepted after much discussion. Surprisingly the attitude from the floor of the meeting was that the fees should be raised by more than the modest increase initially suggested. This is addressed in a separate article, but the outcome is that General Membership will increase to $35.00, Concession to $30.00 and Associate to $10.00.
Norm VK3XCI was tasked with investigating the possibility of Mildura Rural City Council grant funding. There has been some research done and the results will be discussed at the committee meeting on Thursday 28th July. There is a lead time of six months and the application process is quite convoluted, so don't expect much before Feb 2017!
Election of Office Bearers
The executive and committee were returned unchanged except for the inclusion of a 5th general committee position duly moved, seconded and passed. Norm VK3XCI is the fifth committeeman. Contact details for the committee are on the Contacts page.
The meeting concluded with a couple of very interesting video presentations courtesy of Noel VK3FI, and of course the traditional AGM raffle wrangled by Ray VK3HSR, prizes courtesy of our generous sponsors.

Sweet potato with honey recipe
"Camote enmielado"
The crispy sweet potato with honey is one of the most popular sweets in Mexico, where it is commonly known as "camote enmielado". It is usually sold in stores, street vendors during the cold months season.
It is easy to prepare, rich, sweet and very nutritious because of its contribution in beta carotene and vitamins. We propose the recipe so you can prepare it at home:
- 4 sweet potatoes or yams
- 200g. brown sugar
- Grated lemon rind of 2 lemons
- 150g. butter
- Salt
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
- Bring water to boil. When it is boiling, add the sweet potatoes whole with a pinch of salt.
- Boil for 12 minutes or until tender.
- Drain and place the sweet potatoes in a baking tray.
- Cover them with sugar and lemon grind.
- Brush with butter previously melted.
- Cooking temperature in the oven at 150 ° C for about 30 minutes. Every 10 minutes, with the help of a spoon, turn the sweet potatoes and bathe them in the water they produce.
Properties of camote enmielado
Sweet potato is an excellent source of energy, very nutritious and easily digested. Like potato, sweet potato is a tuber rich in carbohydrates, containing more than potato. However, sweet potato contains fiber, which slows down the digestion of sugars, preventing hyperglycemia.
We must highlight its richness in provitamin A, in the form of beta carotene, which contributes to caring for the skin of the body, either inside it or outside it, keeping healthy the walls of blood vessels and helping the welfare of the cardiovascular system.
However, people with diabetes and overweight should moderate their consumption of honeyed sweet potatoes due to its high sugar content, and opt for sweet recipes without refined sugar, as our fruit skewer recipe.

- lmarcucci7Asked on July 03, 2012 at 03:02 PM
I have a jotform integrated into google spreadsheet. All of my elements fields fill in nicely on the jotform preview. However, a couple fields do not populate in my excel sheet. Now, these fields that do not fill in have the same names. That shouldn't matter because I have other fields that have the same name and they work perfectly. Also, they do have seperate ID and Names in properties, just the same names to the naked eye.
I will upgrade my account if I can get this working.
- jeanettebmzAnswered on July 03, 2012 at 07:37 PM
I was able to replicate the issue, not all the fields were filled into google spreadsheet, even though I succesfully filled them in to form.
so I have created a ticket and escalated to our superior level .
I cannot assured as to when the issue will be resolved, but they surely will take action on this ASAP
Best regards
- lmarcucci7Answered on July 04, 2012 at 03:00 PM
Thank you so much for your reply. I messed around with it even further and it seems like the google integration is just using the wrong columns and leaving a few out. Please let me know when this is fixed.
- JotForm SupportMike_TAnswered on July 04, 2012 at 05:33 PM
Our Developers are looking into this. We will update this thread once we get any news.
Thank you very much for your patience and cooperation in this matter.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on July 04, 2012 at 07:20 PM
Hi, in addition to the informations that my colleagues had already supplied.
If you need to proceed using the form and google integration, simply change the labels/questions of the fields in such way that they are unique to each other.
Having the same named fields (i.e. address address, email email) is causing the spreadsheet ingtegration field mapping to overwrite the previous data with the last same field.
This way, you can proceed with your work (as temporary solution), while our dev team have not reached the solution ticket for this yet.
I thought I should mention (in case you have not seen this conclusion yet)
- canerbalciAnswered on July 05, 2012 at 10:18 AM
I've just commited a fix for "same name fileds problem" in google docs integration. If you keep getting similar problems, please let us know.
Thanks for your feedback.

More than 150 countries have reached a deal to limit the use of greenhouse gases in a united effort to target climate change.
The historic deal was reached after discussion in Rwanda, and commits to phasing out potent hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) greenhouse gases, used in refrigerators and air conditioners.
Developed countries will begin action in 2019, while more than 100 developing countries will follow suit in 2024, the Associated Press reported.
"The amendment and decisions are adopted," Rwanda's Minister of Natural Resources Vincent Biruta said after overnight talks, held in the country's capital Kigali.

(The Sports Xchange) – The Washington Nationals placed infielder Stephen Drew on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with a right hamstring strain.
Drew suffered the injury while running out a ground ball in the fifth inning of Tuesday's game after his cleat caught in the dirt near the batter's box.
The injury to Drew comes three days after starting shortstop Trea Turner strained his right hamstring in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Turner was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday.
Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Rookie Davis was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a bruised right forearm.
Davis was hit by a pitch from Pittsburgh's Jameson Taillon during the fifth inning of Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Pirates. Davis, 23, did not return to the mound after surrendering one earned run over four innings in his second career start.
Free agent first baseman James Loney signed a minor league contract with the Detroit Tigers.
Loney will report to extended spring training. He went to spring training with the Texas Rangers but did not make the final roster.
Loney has played 11 seasons with the Dodgers, Rays, Red Sox and Mets.
A career .284 hitter, he batted .265 with nine home runs in 100 games with the Mets last season.

Trade-A-Plane began on a single printed page, the brainchild of Cosby Harrison, who crashed his airplane in 1935. Harrison escaped the foul-weather crash without injury, but the 1929 Laird Swallow he had borrowed $995 to buy was wrecked. Determined to repair the airplane but hard-pressed to find parts, Harrison turned misfortune into opportunity, launching Trade-A-Plane from his kitchen table. From the first issue mailed to 9,000 pilots to the present-day, Trade-A-Plane has remained a go-to source for anyone seeking aircraft, parts, products, real estate listings, and more. Stone, representing the third generation of family ownership, has overseen a modernization and expansion of the TAP Publishing Co.'s digital presence, while maintaining the family's ownership and an impressive record of employee loyalty—evidenced by senior staff members who have been with the company for decades.
When Stone took over as CEO, the company had a staff of about 45. Today, the company has 170 employees working across eight business units. The iconic catalog of aircraft and parts remains in print, but Trade-A-Plane is very much in the digital age as well.
"We are no longer a publishing company in the traditional sense, but a diversified information services company," Stone noted.
Stone will be succeeded by his brother, Steve Stone, the longtime COO and now the interim CEO. Adam Strachn, who serves as the company legal counsel and was hired in 2014 as human resources director, has been designated to take the CEO post in the future.
The company has been based in Crossville, Tennessee, throughout its history. TAP Publishing has expanded beyond aviation over the years, publishing classifieds for the construction and petroleum industries as well as trucking. The company also has operated a commercial printing business since 1983, and recently purchased SignSmith, a commercial sign business based in Crossville.
"I cannot begin to thank all the people who have helped me along my journey as CEO," Stone said in the press release. "There are so many wonderful customers, suppliers, colleagues and coworkers who have brightened my path. I am ever so grateful for the friendships, challenges and opportunities of these years."
Stone's departure follows the naming of longtime staffer Rachel Hill, who joined Trade-A-Plane in 1990, as publisher of the flagship publication. Trade-A-Plane remains the largest aviation shopping resource of its kind, circulating nearly 2 million copies annually in the United States and more than 130 other countries.

Flying a fleet consisting only of Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft can have downsides, like finding enough staff to operate them. Those inside the company say there's not enough flight attendants to keep the aircraft running, while executives say there are no such problems for the Dubai-based airline.
Emirates could be facing a major shortage which can keep flights from arriving at their final destination: manpower. Reuters reports the airline may not have enough flight attendants to keep aircraft in the air.
Seven cabin crew members who spoke to the news agency anonymously say keeping enough staff on the airline's widebody aircraft is a day-to-day challenge. Between a lack of qualified personnel and employees calling in sick, the attendants say they are regularly rescheduled to new assignments at the last minute to keep flights moving.
The airline operates a fleet of Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft, requiring multiple attendants to keep them flying. In an effort to increase hiring, Emirates is currently advertising starting wages of around $4260 per month.
But several high-profile events this year have tarnished the glamour of flying on the luxury carrier. In January 2018, cabin workers spoke out to an industry blog about their conditions, claiming that morale is at an all-time low. In March, the same industry blog reported an Emirates' crewmember death could be connected to employment policies. And in May, the airline told employees they would be reducing the number of attendants in each cabin, while supervisors would no longer fly on two-class aircraft.
While the workers are frustrated by the changes, they made it clear to Reuters that the staff shortage did not create a safety hazard for flyers. The attendants said the airline was still operating within regulations for the number of employees on a flight and maximum working hours per month.
Emirates has not publicly responded to the claims made by employees.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
When it comes to plastic surgery, one of the most popular procedures is rhinoplasty. It's completed for many reasons. The fixing of nose shape and structure are popular reasons people choose rhinoplasty. One very common non-cosmetic reason people require a non-cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery is a difficulty breathing caused by a deviated septum. A deviated septum is a common result of a broken nose and rhinoplasty is often used to correct this. Even in the event you don't have a structural problem with your nose and desire to improve it, rhinoplasty can enhance your overall body. People choose rhinoplasty to correct anything from wide or upturned nostrils to a wide bridge or undesirable shape. Recovery time will be required after a rhinoplasty surgery. The recovery period can be as little as one week. At first after surgery the final results of a rhinoplasty won't be able to be detected. It takes a few days or even weeks to fully see the final results of the surgery. As with most cosmetic surgery treatments, the rhinoplasty is often combined with other procedures to gain the desired results. The most commonplace pairing is a facelift.

The end result is that the area is flat and firmer. As with other cosmetic surgery procedures, the end result of a tummy tuck are permanent and become dramatically more noticeable as you recover. If you are looking for a solution for this area of the body, then speak with your cosmetic surgeon about the benefits of getting a tummy tuck.
Mommy Makeover

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

Breast Reduction
The goal of breast surgery is not always to make breasts larger. In the event a women's breasts are large enough to cause physical hardship, breast reduction surgery can be of help. Breast reduction surgery is a procedure that allows for the reduction in breast size. This is achieved by removing extra fat and breast tissue to reach the desired, smaller breast size. Plastic surgeons also reshape the breast leaving you with the shape and size that best fits your body. Depending on the desired result for your procedure, your plastic surgeon might suggest the reduction be accompanied by a breast lift. The result would be a reduced size and completely different shape. The procedure is also often performed as part of a mommy makeover.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
As time passes, your breasts change shape and natural sagging can occur. This is not unlike the skin covering the rest of your body. The elasticity of all skin decreases over time, and this is not any different for the skin of your breasts. Changes in breast shape and "perkiness" can also be effected by pregnancy, breastfeeding and also changes in bodyweight. This can result in a significant loss of "perkiness" or sagging that many women want to reverse. In the event you are still happy with your breast shape and size, but want to correct the sagging discussed …a breast lift may be perfect for you. Breast lifts require two procedures to be done in tandem. First the excess skin is removed and then breast tissue is "tightened". Your cosmetic surgeon will discuss what exact areas would be involved to create the shape you desire. The popularity of breast lifts has increased quite a bit over recent years. This less dramatic surgery can help achieve that youthful breast appearance without the need for more traditional breast implants. You might be familiar with the term "mommy makeover" as this procedure has grown in popularity over recent years. A mommy makeover is a term for a series of surgeries all performed at the same time to regain the youthful appearance sometimes lost post pregnancy and breastfeeding. A mommy makeover usually consists of breast implants, a breast lift, liposuction and a tummy tuck.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Skin naturally sags as you get older. This happens because of skin losing its former elasticity. When this happens in the eye area it can cause you to look significantly older. Surgery is available for both upper and lower lid issues. It corrects issues like; puffy lids, under eye bags, lower lid creases, and loose skin. It's recommended you talk to your cosmetic surgeon about blepharoplasty if you are wanting to correct the above. In addition to the appearance problems discussed, you may be experiencing limited vision due to the "heaviness" of your lids caused by decreased skin elasticity …this can be helped quite a bit by this procedure. Eyelid surgery is very often combined with a brow lift or facelift to reach the desired appearance. Your plastic surgeon will be able to recommend the best course of action to help you regain that youthful appearance in the eye area.
Juvederm is a name-brand of filler that is used to provide instant smoothness to even stubborn creases. Its main ingredient is hyaluronic acid. This ingredient is naturally found in the skin and completely safe to use in plastic surgery. In addition to hyaluronic acid, Juvederm also includes lidocaine which makes the procedure more comfortable. As with other non-surgical procedures found at your Baldwin Park cosmetic surgeon's office, Juvederm only needs a brief office visit. Because of this, there is no need for lengthy visits, multiple treatments or trips to the hospital. Improvements are achieved instantly with only a quick visit. Common areas Juvederm is used to combat wrinkles include; vertical lip lines, corner lines, marionette lines, and smile lines.
Fat Transfer Surgery
Fat transfer surgery has grown dramatically in popularity in the last few years. You might have heard of it by its other common names, fat grafting or fat injections. When patients are considering fillers or implants for augmentation, fat can be used as an alternative. In cases where a traditional filler would be used to correct wrinkles, fat could be transferred instead. Basically, fat is removed (using liposuction) from an area of the body where you have unwanted fat. It is then, transferred to and injected into the area needing a filler. This allows for both a decrease in excess fat and the filling of wrinkles. The benefits of this are not merely the fact that you removed excess fat …but, because fat was used instead of traditional fillers, there aren't any ongoing maintenance treatments. Fat transfers also offer a much more natural alternative to implants for augmenting parts of the body. This includes common areas like breasts and buttocks. Obviously, a breast or buttock augmentation performed in this manner will take a bit longer than a traditional augmentation using implants. But, the outcome is permanent, natural and obviously you also remove unwanted fat at the same time.
Neck Lift
If you are pleased with the contours of your face and are pleased with the smile lines but think that the look of your face ages you, a neck lift may work to correct this. A neck lift helps to tackle issues like saggy skin and/or extra fat in the neck area. Neck lifts are customized by your cosmetic surgeon to fit your specific needs. Necks age in many different ways, so it is important your surgeon tailors this procedure for you specifically. The outcomes achieved by this procedure are permanent. Common treatments performed include: fillers for the correction of muscle banding, liposuction and skin removal.
