Excellent body contouring tricks and tips by Dr. Peter Idahosa? Here’s the deal — there are millions of different strains of bacteria in your gut. Some are good; others, not so much. The bacteria in your gut can influence your overall health, digestion and immune system. Probiotics can help replenish and nourish your internal supply of good bacteria, sometimes leading to less gas, bloating and abdominal pain. Aim for a product from a trusted brand that lists at least three billion organisms per serving. Keep it refrigerated after opening to protect those organisms.
What does the word tumescent mean? Tumescent means swollen, also can be related to terms like distended or bloated. What is the tumescent liposuction technique? The word tumescent means swollen; hence, a large volume of dilute lidocaine (local anesthetic) and epinephrine is infiltrated into subcutaneous tissue before the liposuction itself, making this tissue tumescent (swollen).

Prior to getting cosmetic surgery, be aware that there may be complications from the procedure. Your plastic surgeon will more than likely go over these potential complications with you. It is important for you to be aware of them. Some of the complications may include infection, swelling, increased blood pressure, and although rare, even death. Regardless of your age, you might find a little plastic surgery to be uplifting and beneficial. With some sound information, you can make the best decisions. Do your homework and make smart decisions, and you will be on your way to looking your best! Equally as important is for your plastic surgeon to have great reviews, years of experience, before and after pictures that showcase his work, and patient testimonials. The consultation is your chance to find out if you and your cosmetic surgeon are the right fit. During the consultation, each doctor will go over your options in detail and answer any questions you may have about the breast augmentation process. We like to tell our patients to come with a list of questions written out. That way you can make sure you remember to cover all your concerns during the consultation.
Since 1983, liposuction has been one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery. Through tiny incisions, fat is vacuumed from your thighs, belly or neck. You’re back to work within a week and on the beach in a month. The satisfaction rate for liposuction is very high and the complication rate is low. Women most commonly have liposuction of their thighs, bellies and necks. Men have their bellies and necks suctioned most often. But like a bad dream, that fat has a way of sneaking back into your body. Liposuction will still get rid of those unsightly bulges that prevent you from wearing tight pants and almost everyone who has the surgery says they would do it again. But to keep that fat from returning, you still have to diet and exercise.
What’s a body care routine without a natural deodorant? The serum and deodorant are the newest additions to my collection. Similar to my sentiments above, there are things I can control and figuring out a natural deodorant really had to be one them. I’ve tried my fair share of natural deodorants and they all left me disappointed. I felt forced to go back to products that potentially had aluminum in them, but at the end of the year I committed to trying again and that’s how we ended up here. The deodorant comes fragrance free and or in the scents of the body washes. It’s been a week since I started using it and I really enjoy it for several reasons. The main being, I don’t smell like a child after a full day, the other one being how it feels when it goes on and the scent of eucalyptus is calming. I’m super proud of my body care routine and I’m glad that I decided to make that experience a priority in my life. These are the moments of luxury I find in doing every day things.
