| | | Nose job was to correct medical problem, says Jennifer Aniston | | Posted Friday, February 02, 2007 12:51:01 PM by Blog57 Team | | Actress Jennifer Aniston has both confirmed and thwarted rumors about her nose job at the same time. The 38-year-old actress, in an interview to a leading celebrity magazine, admitted she underwent surgery for her nose but said it was for a medical reason and not a cosmetic one. It's funny. I had (a deviated septum) fixed best thing I ever did. I slept like a baby for the first time in years, she said in the interview. Aniston also laughed at rumors of a breast augmentation surgery. As far as all the other (rumors), as boring as it sounds, it's still mine. All of it. Still mine. Short of letting everybody have a feel, I don't know what else to do. I really am pretty happy with what God gave me, she added. Rumors of Aniston's cosmetic surgeries began after she was spotted in Los Angeles stepping out of a cosmetic surgeon's office in January.... | |

| | | Surgical center planned to open by end of 2007 | | Posted Tuesday, January 02, 2007 2:51:10 PM by Blog57 Team | | Surgeons Dr. Michael Murray and Dr. Thomas McCormick are excited about the ground breaking of the New River Surgical Arts center, which will be located in the New River Business Park off Harrigan Road and River Parkway. The doctors purchased two separate lots, combining them into one four-acre lot for the facility in 2005. Construction of the 25,000-square-foot outpatient surgical center is expected to be completed by October of 2007. The surgical center itself will occupy 8,000 square feet. The remaining portions will be used as offices for staff and future general surgeons or specialists, they said. "We expect the doors to open in October or November, depending on construction delays," said Murray. Both doctors said they hope having an outpatient surgical center will increase recruitment of specialists to the area, which is currently very difficult.... | |

| | | Eye expert rues patients' attitude | | Posted Saturday, December 09, 2006 12:51:29 PM by Blog57 Team | | PATNA: When it comes to latest treatment modalities for eye problems, Patna is never a favoured destination. And not just because the city is slow to catch up with the latest techniques. But also due to a significant attitude problem that people of Bihar have against their own doctors. "If we carry out a new procedure, people will not accept it readily. But if they go to Chennai or Delhi and are advised the same procedure, they will get it done there," said Patna ophthalmologist Dr Nagendra Prasad. Prasad is also the organising secretary of the 21st Eastern India Zonal Ophthalmological and 44th Bihar Ophthalmological Society annual conference which began in Patna on Friday. Prasad said, "We have begun to carry out many sophisticated procedures including phacoemulsification, intra-ocular lens transplantation and small incision cataract surgery." However, when it comes to highly sophisticated treatments such as photo dynamic therapy (PDT), Patna lags behind.... | |

| | | Surgeons mask cancer ravages | | Posted Tuesday, November 14, 2006 2:53:06 AM by Blog57 Team | | A Nova Scotia man will walk out of hospital a week from now with a few scars but little else to show he had a sizable portion of his skull and face removed and rebuilt with skin and bone from his arm and leg. The 18-hour "double free flap" surgery performed at the start of the month was needed to treat an aggressive skin cancer that had spread into the man’s eye and nose. But it also marked what’s believed to be the first time surgeons in Eastern Canada have used a technique that takes live tissue from two other parts of the body to rebuild a fully functional face. Head and neck oncologist Dr. Robert Hart, who came to the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in October after a year of specialized training in Edmonton, took part in the operation, along with Dr.... | |

| | | New wrinkle filler rounds out line-up of no-surgery lifts | | Posted Friday, November 10, 2006 2:56:44 AM by Blog57 Team | | Lasers, chemical peels, injections. Rose Underwood has sampled just about everything on the nonsurgical buffet to look a few years younger. Recently, the 62 year old tried something that hasn't even hit the market: Juvederm, an injection that promises to fill even deep wrinkles and plump up sunken skin. "I've done it all," Underwood says after reeling off a list of all the procedures she's tried. "We're all vain. We love the compliments we get." Underwood is not alone. Nashville, Tenn., with its music celebrities and medical complexes, has become something of a mecca for cosmetic procedures, doctors say. "It's bigger here in Nashville than in cities of comparable size because of the entertainment industry," says Dr. Brian Biesman of Nashville Centre for Laser and Facial Surgery.... | |

| | | Pricey tummy tucks performed in public hospitals | | Posted Thursday, November 09, 2006 1:01:15 PM by Blog57 Team | | He's a cosmetic surgeon with his own private clinic in Montreal, and wants Canadian taxpayers to know how many strictly cosmetic surgeries are now being done in public hospitals. "Cosmetic procedures are being subsidized by the taxpayer," Dr. Clifford Albert of the Canadian Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (CACS) told CTV News. Some of Canada's plastic surgeons are making a lucrative profit on the side, by doing the procedures, a CTV Whistleblower investigation has found. Sometimes, doctors say, the cosmetic surgeries even delay other surgeons from getting patients in for necessary operations. Across the country, Canadian hospitals are allowing patients to get their tummy tucks, breast augmentations and other strictly cosmetic surgeries in hospital, for a nominal fee to the facility.... | |

| | | UP abandons Meerut victims | | Posted Sunday, November 05, 2006 6:51:40 PM by Blog57 Team | | It has been six months since Rimi Oberoi, a victim of Meerut's Brand India fire tragedy, stepped out in the sun. She would need dozens of surgeries to even faintly resemble her former self. After promising her free treatment, the government has refused to foot the bill for surgeries. After the grafting of skin on her ears, back, both hands and legs, Rimi now needs multiple contractual surgeries to increase the elasticity of grafted skin. "She cannot stretch her hands or use her fingers as the grafted skin has shrunk in size. She needs more surgeries but the government has refused to pay for further treatment," said Rimi's mother Surjit Kaur. Rimi was discharged on Thursday from Kailash Hospital in Noida, as the family could not afford further treatment. "We are from Chandigarh but have not gone home since April.... | |
