Ayurveda Yoga Scuba Diving are born out of breath and movement, and essentially complementary. Both yoga and diving encourage you to enter into a meditative state of mind, bring awareness to your breath, and be completely present in the moment. Diving is a form of moving meditation, where you float weightlessly and silently, focusing only on your breath and the present moment. This allows you to relax completely and experience a powerful connection with nature at its best.

Until the modern era, all art was steeped in the past. Even today, a great part of it still is. Whether it's painting antiquated covered bridges on the one extreme, or longings after Impressionism in the middle, or the Abstract Expressionist days of the 50s, on the other end of the stylistic spectrum, the past plays a part. And that which isn't rooted in the past is often ridiculed and disowned by all but the most avant-garde in today's art world as radical, ugly, stupid, immoral, and dangerous to the greater native culture at large. And often, of course, not without good cause. The past is comfortable. It's a known quantity. The future is unknown, largely unpredictable, and thus frightening while at the same time being strangely enticing. Caught in the middle, the present is uncertain. Which way do we turn as artists, torn between the known and the unknown, the tiresome and the adventurous? In our present day anxiety, we cannot read the future, we can only study the past. So, it's not surprising at all that so much of our art is predicated on the teachings and points of view of our elders, often without much thought as to just how elderly they might be.
In looking to the past, we often idealise the Renaissance with its trademark slogan, "Rebirth of Learning." But we're also prone to reading more into this phrase than it deserves, suggesting that it somehow symbolises "newness," when in fact, taken literally, it is also heavily laden with the past. And nowhere is this more evident than in Renaissance art. We often think of the work of Michelangelo, Raphael, Poussin, Mantegna, Claude, and others as being new. Literally of course, it was. That is, they were new paintings. During Medieval times and before, painting was rare. Sculpture and architecture were the high arts, dating back to Roman times, and before that to Greek models. And while there was no doubt some painting during these eras, little of it survived. So, the artform itself was new. Even the content was new. It was largely religious. And while Christianity certainly wasn't new, it was new to art. The same was true of the style. Realism wasn't new (not by a long shot), but it was improved. What wasn't new was the means of rendering this newness. Although there was little in the way of antique painting to emulate, the past had survived (in one form or another) with its antique models, both sculptural and architectural.
Michelangelo's Sistine ceiling was a "new" fresco, but its theme was Genesis - ancient history (even then). Raphael's School of Athens with its two classic Greek schools of thought, those of Plato and Aristotle, even the massive Greco-Roman architecture were far from new. Andrea Mantegna's St. Sebastian, harkened back to that of Pollaiuolo a hundred years before and in this case, seems a perfect visual metaphor with its classical, semi-nude figure bound to the ruins of a Corinthian column and Roman arch while standing upon the pedestal of a destroyed Roman sculpture lying at his feet. We hardly notice the many "new" arrows of his martyrdom amid such classical antiquarianism.
It would seem at first glance that Nicolas Poussin had departed radically from the standard Leonardo depiction of the Last Supper with his 1647 The Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. With its circular arrangement of Christ and his apostles lying around a table in the Roman fashion of the day, it looks surprisingly like a scene from a present-day movie. But the newness is superficial; it's still set amidst heavy Roman architecture, its figures draped in classic Roman garb, and lit by a single Roman lamp illuminating an ancient religious rite. As the Italians might say, it was just old wine in a new bottle. Even in relatively modern times - the nineteenth century - as in the Pre-Raphaelites, or in the case of their German forebears, the Brotherhood of St. Luke, as seen in Overbeck's The triumph of Religion in the Arts (1831), whenever artists become ambivalent or anxious about the present (or just want to cash in on everyone else's similar feelings), they resort to the past to shore up their confidence (and sales). I do it. We all do, or have quite often. But perhaps we should all strive to do it less often. Wouldn't it be great if we could paint "the future" at least as often as we paint the past?

Travel Rules
WSSL Travel teams will adhere to the same rules and according to the same guiding priniples as all of WSSL and will also operate in accordance with the rules imposed by the Westchester Youth Soccer League (WYSL).
Guiding Principles of WSSL for Travel
- Open Registration: Anyone can tryout for a travel team, however players will be assessed and selected based upon their ability to play at a higher level. Need-based scholarships are available to players selected for teams.
- Balanced Teams: Teams will be formed according to the skills of the players with the idea that players of similar ability will have the most success training and learning together.
- Everyone Plays: Players learn by playing. Players on our WYSL travel teams and tournament teams who demonstrate a commitment to the team and to training will play 50% or more in each game. Playing time may be limited by attendance, attitude or other factors, and may be limited on the higher level Premier teams.
- Positive Coaching: All coaches, assistant coaches and trainers will be held to the highest possible standards. Each will be required to sign an oath and to uphold the letter and spirit of that oath. Coaches who cannot comply will be removed.
- Good Sportsmanship: All players and volunteers will participate in WSSL using the highest form of good sportsmanship. Players will sign an oath to uphold the League's standards and principles.
- Player Development: The number one goal of WSSL training is to develop the player in terms of soccer skills - individual and team - and character.
Playing Time Rules
Commitment matters. Sportsmanship matters. All players will receive balanced/fair playing time in matches unless:
- a player misses practice
- a player arrives late to the pre-game warm up or game itself
- a player displays poor sportsmanship or disrespect to a trainer, coach or fellow players
- players who play in the goal for 1/2 of the game will be given field time during the following half
- starting players will rotate game by game. Players who do not adhere to the rules of sportsmanship or commitment will not be awarded a starting position.
Coach Oath
It is important that our coaches and assistant coaches serve as models not only for our children but for parents on the sidelines as well. This is a tall order. It requires you to think before you react, whether dealing with a player, a referee or a parent. The following oath and code of conduct is a guideline for all coaches and assistant coaches. Expectations are high for coaches and assistant coaches. Tolerance for behavior incongruous with this oath or its spirit is very, very low. Please join us in taking very seriously one of the most demanding and serious (also seriously fun) jobs in the League.
If you have signed up to be a coach or assistant coach in WSSL, you agree to uphold the following:
- Enthusiastically support and practice the Everyone Plays, Good Sportsmanship, Positive Coaching and Player Development philosophies that are central to all of WSSL's programs.
- Be reasonable in your demands on a young player's time, energy, enthusiasm and performance on the field.
- Impress on your players that they must abide by the Laws of the Game at all times.
- Develop team respect for the ability of opponents and for the judgment of referees and opposing coaches.
- Ensure that your players' soccer experience is one of fun and enjoyment (winning is only part of it). Players should never be yelled at or ridiculed for making mistakes or losing a game.
- Set a good example and be generous with your praise when it is deserved. Children need a coach they can respect.
- Keep informed of sound principles of coaching, growth and child development.
- Check your equipment and playing facilities. They should meet safety standards and be appropriate for the age and ability of your players.
- Follow the advice of a physician when determining when and injured child is ready to play again.
- Guarantee that you have fulfilled the training and registration requirements faithfully and enthusiastically.
- Participate in ongoing coach education clinics offered by WSSL (at least 2 a season).
Coaches must:
- Take AYSO Safe Haven training before taking the pitch with any children.
- Take the required Coach training courses for the age group they are coaching and as required by WYSL.
- Participate in at least two Coach Education Clinics each season.
- Publically show respect for the referees' decisions, even if they disagree.
- Take the field regardless of the weather (unless a game is cancelled by the League) with their team.
- Not decide to cancel a game or practice because of low turnout or weather.
Parent Oath
- No smoking on or near any fields.
- No dogs allowed on or near any fields.
- No bicycles allowed on any fields. Please chain them to the nearest fence.
- Turf shoes are allowed on all fields. Cleats may only be worn on artificial turf fields.
- Profanity is not accepted.
- To be a part of WSSL is to embrace and support its philosophy (See About WSSL)
Code of Conduct for All Parents
As a parent, you play a special role in contributing to the needs and development of youngsters. Through your encouragement and good example, you can help assure that all the boys and girls learn good sportsmanship and self-discipline. At WSSL, young people learn to work together, to sacrifice for the good of the team, to enjoy winning and deal appropriately with defeat - all while becoming physically fit and healthy. Best of all, they have fun.
Supporting your child by giving encouragement and showing interest in their team is very important. Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than victory - that way your child will always be a winner despite the outcome of the game!
Parents serve as role models for their children. Become aware of this and work to be a positive role model. Applaud good plays by your child's team as well as good plays by the opposing team. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sports activities.
Remember that your child is the one playing soccer, not you. It's very important to let children establish their own goals - to play the game for themselves. Take care not to impose your own standards and goals on them. Don't put too heavy a burden on your child to win games. Surveys reveal that 72% of children would rather play for a losing team than ride the bench for a winning team. Children play for the fun of playing.
Positive reinforcement is the best way to help your child achieve their goals and their natural fear of failure. Nobody likes to make mistakes. If your child does make one, remember it's all part of learning, so encourage your child's efforts and point out the good things your child accomplished.
Coaches and referees are usually parents just like you. They volunteer their time to help make your child's youth soccer experience a positive one. They need your support too. That means refraining from coaching or refereeing from the sidelines. As a volunteer organization, there's usually always an opportunity for you to take your interest in coaching or refereeing to the next level and become one yourself!
A referee's rulings are the final word, and may not be reversed after the game. Arguing a referee's decision will not be tolerated. Nevertheless, at half time and after a game, a polite, non-aggressive approach to a referee to discuss an incident will generally be allowed.

The oldest player in the NFL hasn't decided yet if he'll return in 2013. But he has decided that he won't play elsewhere.
Jason Hanson, the 42-year-old Lions kicker who owns three NFL records (most games played with one team, most seasons played with one team and most career 50-yard field goals) says that if he does come back, it will definitely be with the Lions.
"I'm not interested in playing anywhere else, no way," Hanson told the Detroit Free Press. "If I can't do it here, I can't do it anywhere right now. And with my family — and they know that, so it's not any secret. So yeah, never say never, but I'm not considering any other options other than getting it done here."
So will Hanson return to the Lions?
"I think so," Hanson said when asked if he wants to keep playing. "I know I can. Like I said, I haven't really processed all that. Just get some of the nagging little kicker owies, toenail hurts, that kind of thing, let that calm down and then just really evaluate because I know I don't want to play anymore unless I know I want to play and feel like I'm going to show up for off-season and run and do all the stuff. . . . I'm not going to do it unless I feel like I can and I'm going to work like I always have."
What's also unknown is whether the Lions will bring Hanson back, and if so at what price. Hanson is making $2.5 million this season and becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season, and the Lions would likely want him to take less money if he does come back. Hanson is having a fine season, but you can find kickers who will have a fine season for less than $2.5 million.
It would be perfectly reasonable for the Lions to ask Hanson to take less money, and perfectly reasonable for Hanson to decide that he's at a point in his life when he doesn't want to take less money. In which case one of the greatest kickers in NFL history would decide to call it a career.

"Flatty24" was my first AIM screen name. I chose it because when I was 13, my washboard chest had earned me a widely used and less-than-delightful classroom appellation, with a rude last name to match: Flatty Pancakes, at your service! At least when I was tormented in the hallways, I could close my eyes and think of breakfast. I decided to reclaim that shitty nickname to send up the misspelled, appearance-based internet identities of my female classmates, striking a blow against the adolescent "sexeycutey1990"s and "luvelychik69"s that ran rampant on the World Wide Web in the early 2000s. However, outside of making a jokey chat handle about my flat-chestedness (I believe that this practice is commonly referred to as "OWNING IT"), I really didn't care much about my lack of a bust. If anything, I was reluctant to have Victoria's Secret whispered tantalizingly to each of my nipples in place of my unfussy and decidedly less mysterious white undershirts. The tit fairy felt differently, though, and I woke up with D cups one morning in the middle of the eighth grade. I gloatingly kept the screen name, OF COURSE, but despite the delightful irony in literally outgrowing my derogatory nickname, I wasn't thrilled about my newfound buxomness.
I had my 14th birthday party at Hooters. I know, WHAT? This was appropriate in one obvious, metaphorical way, but entirely NOT in every real one, and so I found myself picking at chicken wings while awkwardly shifting my eyes downward all night. My slightly older friends had decided that having my party there would be a funny surprise, the grand finale of which was when the waitstaff shoved me onto a table in front of a birthday cake and scores of receding-hairlined men in polo shirts. These dudes, many of whom had young sons with them, serenaded me creepily as the waitresses tried to get me to bounce along with their wiggle-heavy "dance" moves. I was wearing a white muscle tank, a tiny plaid skirt, and Doc Martens, a uniform that has remained largely unchanged over the past six years despite how profoundly uncomfortable I felt in it that day. I wished to God that I had only had the divine foresight to wear six sweaters, a Mama Cass muumuu, then another three sweaters and a trench coat on top of that. The only way I could have felt more objectified is if I'd been wearing the orange wedgie shorts and Seinfeld-esque white sneaker/sock combination of my similarly stacked torturers. I stood there, grimacing and bounce free, for what seemed like another 14 years before they finally let me dismount and slink back to my table.
The Hooters debacle was just one of many incidents that year that made me feel strange about graduating with top honors from the undershirts to which I once clung. The transformation of my body changed the way I carried myself, as well. For the first time, boys began finding me attractive, and I had no idea how to react to this newfound attention. I wondered, should I dress more demurely, like in the outfit I had so desperately wished for at Hooters, or embrace the slinky five-for-$20 Wet Seal camisoles that were de rigueur at the time? I had no idea what clothes would be the most appropriate for my changed body, LET ALONE how to graciously handle the awe of my former teasers. I knew that most of these boys were fascinated only by my curves and not the more established parts of me that I had any control over, like my politics or taste or obsessive interest in additions to the New Fiction shelf at the library. While I resented this, there was something undeniably intoxicating about being the center of lusty attention after passed over for so long. So when some jackhole posted "whoah…Amy…you're tits…what happened" on a MySpace photo of that awful birthday party, it was really hard not to be flattered that someone had noticed my body without comparing it to breakfast food. Even though I understood on a logical level that the remark really wasn't a positive one and that it was actually invasive and inappropriate, it did weird things to my self-worth that I continue to struggle with the meaning of today. One element of that boorish comment has always been entirely clear to me, though. Its underlying message can be found in its misplaced apostrophe: "you are tits," and nothing more. This is clearly not a compliment, as much as I wanted it to be.
This idea of my identity as a disembodied, floating pair of mammary glands has been repeated to me plenty of times over the years. I'm sure you know the feeling—we're all forced to hear unasked-for perspectives on the size of our breasts A TON, in all different settings. Your life, like mine, is probably full of people (mostly cisgendered hetero men) who don't have to deal with the same kinds of body-policing, catcalling, and all the other ways that people can make you feel like your various appendages are up for casual conversation as much as, say, the weather. Harassment can and does happen just about anywhere, even in the places you least expect it. Recently, I was attending a rally associated with the Occupy Wall Street protests with two female classmates. While there, we happened to run into a guy I knew. Since this person had made me uncomfortable by constantly talking about my chest and its rotundity before, I tried to steer clear of him, but one of my friends immediately absorbed him into our conversation. After a few minutes, the three of them shifted their collective focus to my chest, telling me that it provided a "really good distraction" from the cause that we were ostensibly all there to support. Then they said that I should cover it up with a sweater, even though I already had on a jacket, which I pulled tighter over my tank top as they continued to chat about my body parts. Their tone was friendly, but how insane is it to have someone undermine your support for a sociopolitical cause with an analysis of your tits? Especially at a protest known for its progressive ideals? I started to think that maybe I should have just stuck to SlutWalk instead—there, no one would have told me to put on a sweater.
Despite these constant, despicably wack overtures, I feel pretty good about my boobs nowadays. I realized a few years back that no matter how inappropriately people want to sexualize them, they're mine to do with what I wish. I enjoy them. And it's important to note that the guy who first popularized "Flatty Pancakes" wound up getting a purely cosmetic nose job during our senior year, which he thought would cure the fact that no one would date him. It didn't, of course, and he's stuck with his sexual insecurities while I'm totally cool with how my body looks.
Listen: there will always, always be people who harass you in the lunchroom or on public transit or where have you. This is not OK, in fact it sucks, and I recommend that you visit the Hollaback! website for some ideas on countering it when it does happen. But the people who say rude shit to you or ogle you inappropriately do not own your body; it's all yours. When it comes down to it, they're YOUR tits. Not YOU'RE tits. Love them forever (I promise to, too). ♦

Book Review
Depressingly Hilarious
Ice Haven
Are comics a valid form of expression? The jury's still out, I'm afraid. There exists for some an uncomfortable impurity in the combination of two forms of picture-writing (i.e. letter shapes that form "words") while to others it's not that big a deal.
—Harry Naybors in Ice Haven
For those of us out there forced to exist in a severely flawed civilization while dealing with the daily humiliation of having had life imposed upon us, Clowes' latest creation—and the rest of his "narraglyphic picto-assemblages" (otherwise known as comics, or in the more recent marketing moniker, "graphic novels") such as Ghost World, David Boring and Eightball—has a drearily delightful way of validating our feelings.
Sound elitist? It is, but the elitism doesn't mean Ice Haven is condescending or ostentatious. Instead, it seeks to identify with readers' neuroses and particular reactions to their surroundings. The embarrassing and depressing nuances of things like personal grooming, codependence, manipulation, failure, denial, selfishness and loneliness are exposed here in a way that is only possible with the assistance of illustration.
Ice Haven involves an ensemble cast of characters who live in a small Midwestern town called, as you might have guessed, Ice Haven. The story begins with a sedated, emotionless child named David Goldberg who later becomes the victim of a kidnapping. This coupled with the tale of Leopold and Loeb, two young men who in 1924 kidnapped and murdered a 14-year-old boy in Chicago to find out, "intellectually," what it was like to kill someone, is more or less the base plot of the story.
Other characters include strange and arrogant old poet Random Wilder, precocious elementary schooler Charles, lovelorn teen Violet Van der Platz, aspiring young writer Vida Wentz, out-of-town detectives Mr. and Mrs. Ames, über-analytical comic book critic Harry Naybors (perhaps Clowes himself) and a host of others with more minor roles. While these characters have their own stories in Ice Haven, they are all loosely interconnected, sort of just like a regular book, by one event: the disappearance of David Goldberg.
Now, while I've made the story out to be a depressing tale of murder and grim reality, Clowes' work is hilarious because it ridicules that reality, exposing the absurd in daily life while continuously analyzing that absurdity. That's why reading this stuff has the power to make a person feel smarter, even if that feeling is largely delusional.
No matter. Ice Haven is impossible to stop reading because it's so much more than just a brilliant narrative. There are also, of course, fantastic illustrations, which is both the reason why good comics are so captivating and also why they are so often not taken seriously, something that anyone with a short attention span or those in need of a break from the plain old printed page can appreciate.
If you like your irony laid on thick, then Ice Haven might just be the narraglyphic picto-assemblage for you. If it spins your propeller, then you should also know that Clowes' comic book and screenplay, Art School Confidential, directed by Terry Zwigoff (director of Ghost World), will hit theaters later this month.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA –The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's hockey team tied visiting Worcester State 1-1, in a Massachusetts Collegiate Athletic Conference game at the Stephan Hetland Memorial Ice Arena Tuesday evening.
After a scoreless opening period, the Lancers took advantage of a power play just 35 seconds in the middle frame. Worcester State sophomore defenseman Cody Osburn (Sacramento, CA/Fresno Monsters-WSHL) scored assisted by sophomore Stephen Rock (Tulsa, OK/Idaho Jr Steelheads-WSHL) and junior Derek Serborn (Crown Point, IN/Tulsa Rampage-WSHL).
The Corsairs would tie it 1-1 just a tick over three minutes later. Senior Phil Bronner (Wilbraham, MA/Springfield Jr Falcons-EJHL) put the puck past Lancers freshman goalie Salvatore Tecci (Franklin, MA/Long Beach Bombers-WSHL). Senior forward Dave McDonald (Wakefield, MA/Valley Jr Warriors) and senior defenseman Zach Hepler (Sarver, PA/Dixie Beehives-OPJHL) picked up assists.
The teams played an even third period and the Lancers had a chance in overtime. going on the power play at 2:34, but the Corsairs did a nice job killing the penalty and preserving the tie.
"This game mirrors what the last five weeks have been, back and forth and up and down hockey," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach John Rolli. "If you like kissing your sister, you got yourself a tie. Our inability to take advantage of the power play has been the story of the season. We did a good job killing off a double minor to end the second and start the third. Williams was very good in net, in fact both goaltenders played very well."
The Corsairs outshot the Lancers, 27-23. Corsair senior goalie Ryan Williams (Milton, ON/Huntsville Potters-OPJHL) made 21 saves for UMD, while Tecci made 26 saves for Worcester State.
UMass Dartmouth went to 7-7-5 and 5-3-4 in the MASCAC, while Worcester State went to 6-11-2 and 3-8-2 in the MASCAC. The Corsairs will return to action when they visit Salem State next Thursday. The Lancers will host Westfield State Saturday.

Zebra stripes may be mainly defense against flies
Fur pattern's function not for camouflage or cooling, researchers find
Caro et al.
Protection from flies best explains the function of zebra stripes, says a new analysis.
A head-to-head test of five explanations that researchers have proposed for zebras' distinctive patterning finds no support for some long-discussed ideas, says Tim Caro of the University of California, Davis. Looking at the ranges and ecology of various zebras and other subspecies of the genus Equus undermines, for example, the notions that stripes camouflage animals in woodlands or dazzle big predators into misjudging prey movements and flubbing an attack.
The best explanation for the function of the iconic stripes turns out to be discouraging bloodthirsty tabanid horse flies and tsetse flies, Caro and his colleagues report April 1 in Nature Communications. Other experiments have found that flies prefer landing on solid colors to contrasting stripes.

Woman finds bullet in avocado bought at farmer's market
A strange image posted online has people scratching their heads
A strange image posted online has people scratching their heads
Imagine cutting open a fresh avocado bought straight from the grocery store only to come face-to-face with a small bullet embedded in the flesh.
One Reddit user has gone viral after sharing a photo of a friend holding a piece of an avocado bought from Sprouts Farmer's Market and a small-caliber bullet, with the caption, "[m]y friend found a bullet in an avocado that she bought from Sprouts."
The image sparked a flood of comments ranging from comical scenarios to legitimate suggestions for how the bullet may have ended up in the fruit.
"This is probably one of those Mexican blood avocados I heard about in a Freakonomics podcast."The gist of it is that cartels would essentially hold towns of avocado farmers hostage by making them pay protection money," said one user.
Another commentor suggested that small animals eating the crops could be to blame. "Squirrels eat avocados like crazy so farmers shoot them. Hence the small caliber bullet."
One user who claims to work at a lab that analyses foreign objects in food (among other things) says that finding things like bullets or other debris in grown food is not uncommon.
Sprouts was not immediately available for comment.

Training / Credentials
After receiving my Medical Degree from UCLA, I trained extensively in General Surgery, Breast Reconstruction, Microsurgery, and Hand Surgery at prestigious institutions, including the University of Pittsburgh, UC San Francisco, and University of Southern California. The relief and happiness of the men and women who once again felt whole and functional was a joy beyond words for me. The pleasure of seeing those results motivated me to choose plastic surgery as a specialty. To further hone my skills, I trained at the Lahey-Hitchcock Clinic in Boston, an affiliate of the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program. Today, I enjoy the happiness of patients on a regular basis as they take joy in the results of a sometimes long-awaited procedure whether a Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Eyelid Surgery, Facelift or the rejuvenating results of Dermal Fillers such as BOTOX® or Restylane.
Additionally, I underwent the most rigorous training available to become certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The importance of choosing a "board-certified" plastic surgeon cannot be overstated. Many surgeons even those who are not specialists represent themselves as "cosmetic surgeons." Yet, they may have taken merely a weekend course in a procedure, rather than enduring the hour upon hour of challenges that are required to become board-certified. In some states, even dentists are lobbying for permission to perform plastic surgery.
You have one life, and one body. Do not select a cosmetic surgeon who will put you at risk of a poorly performed surgery the results of which will not be easily reversed.
At my first consultation with you, my ears will be as important as my eyes are in helping you to achieve the results that you want. I will listen to you, and to how you describe your particular notion of beauty and attractiveness. I will never rush you through a consultation. I will discuss with great thoroughness the changes that will help you to feel better about yourself. Sometimes these changes will be very subtle, yet will empower you to continue your life with greater self esteem.

Los Angeles women undergo Breast Augmentation for a number of reasons. Most commonly Beverly Hills women with Small Breasts measuring an A or B cup seek Breast Enlargement in order to make their figure more proportional. Other Los Angeles women who have lost breast fullness and perkiness from Pregnancy and Breast Feeding want to regain their youthful figure. There are many other women throughout Southern California who are unhappy with their breast asymmetry or uneven breasts; Tubular or Snoopy breasts; or other breast shape deformities or abnormalities.As a consequence of weight loss surgery in Beverly Hills women are experiencing severe loss of breast volume as well as Ptosis or sagging of the breasts. Breast drooping caused by either aging or weight loss can be treated with a combination of Breast Lift and breast augmentation using breast implants to compensate for the sever loss in breast volume, also known as Empty Sac Syndrome.
Saline Breast Implants used in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles have an exterior sac made of solid silicone, but are filled with sterile saline solution. Advantage of saline implant includes its safety since leaking saline is harmless when absorbed by the body. Saline breast implants also have a very low infection rate. Another advantage of Saline breast implants is that they can be inserted into the breast through a very small incision and their final size can be adjusted by differential filling of saline by a plastic surgeon during cosmetic surgery.
Silicone Breast Implants are pre-filled with a silicone gel. More than 1.5 million American women currently have Silicone Breast Implants. While some people feel that these implants feel more like a natural breast, their safety came into question about 15 years ago, due to claims that they caused autoimmune diseases and hardening of the breasts. Finally, in 2007 the results of several national clinical studies showed no adverse effects of Silicone, and thus Silicone implants were released for use for practically all women.

Any Beverly Hills woman who has breast Ptosis, or sagging, is a candidate for Breast Lift surgery- Mastopexy.
Causes of breast Ptosis or dropping are: Pregnancy and Nursing: Enlargement of the breasts during pregnancy, followed by their deflation after the end of breast feeding, stretches the Coopers Ligaments which holds up breast tissue against the chest wall. This, along with loss of breast volume leads to breast Ptosis.
Aging: As women age, there is a gradual reduction in skin elasticity, as well as the stretching and elongation of the Coopers Ligaments. Breast tissue itself also changes with age from mostly firm, fibrous milk glands to fatty tissue, which is soft and saggy. This change accelerates with menopause, and the gradual reduction of estrogen levels.
Large Breasts and Implants: Breast tissue and skin of inherently large breasts or those that have been augmented with implants stretch out due to the breast weight, resulting in sagging.
Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss or dramatic fluctuations in body weight also cause the skins elasticity and breast tissue to decrease. This has become more prevalent with the advent of Bariatric surgery- Gastric Bypass or Lap Band Surgery.
