Know About: The Super Sutures That Keep Your Chin Safe

There is still such a lot of hue and cry on and about methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. The health departments in both the U.S. and the UK (especially) are under severe scrutiny where safety standards are concerned, all for limiting the spread of infections caused by these bacteria.

The MRSA bacterium occurs not only in plastic surgery but also other surgery cases. The worst thing about it is that it's resistant to antibiotics, a situation that has resulted in quite a number of infections and some deaths.

At least 60 percent of surgical site infections are believed to occur at the incision itself and all precautions have to be followed to prevent an onset of staph. One of the best precautions available to safeguard chin enhancement or chin implant patients from an MRSA infection is the Antibacterial Sutures developed by Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson Ltd.

These sutures are considered a breakthrough in wound closure technology and are able to effectively exterminate bacteria and stall bacterial colonization of the suture.

If chin surgery specialists follow additional infection-preventives like maintaining hygiene and sterilization procedures, maintaining the body temperature of the patient and the supply of oxygen, etc. these sutures can prove to be very helpful.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we employ the best practices and procedures during a chin enhancement procedure. Advanced technology and equipment like the Antibacterial Sutures are just one of the safety measures against staph we employ.

General Anesthesia & Pronounced Post-Chin Surgery Pain

For most people a chin surgery means a minor cosmetic operation and treat it as just so.

While this might hold true for basic chin enhancement work, a more complicated procedure like chin reduction or chin implant surgery to adjust the contours of a chin, involves more complex work.

Towards this end, plastic surgeons plan out the procedure and advice the patient on pre and post-surgery care. One of the components of a chin surgery- anesthesia administration, call for acquainting the candidate about the effects and requirements of the step.

While local anesthesia is common for outpatient procedures that are basic, general anesthesia is preferred for inpatient treatments or combination chin enhancement procedures.

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that the drugs used for general anesthesia could prove to amplify post-surgery pain after the patient awakes. The research was conducted on mice and brings to light the different nuances and effects of anesthesia administration.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we suggest a patient is to inform the cosmetic surgeon about any family history of anesthesia tolerance. Surgery of any kind involves risks and at our advanced surgical institute we work our best to reduce this risk.

American Health Care Good Enough For A Chin Enhancement?

American economist Ben Bernanke believes that there is a very noticeable gap between the quality of health services that should be and can be provided and the quality that are actually provided to the American public.

 

In a recent Senate committee hearing on health reform Bernanke presented his views which hold the US health care system in a sorry light. As a branch of medicine, plastic surgery too comes under the broad umbrella of health care and services.

 

By default this field too is in imperative need of being granted equal attention for reform.

 

The newsflashes that mar the image of cosmetic surgery and as a result chin surgery, all too frequently seem to highlight Bernanke's views. He adds, "Inconsistent use of best practices by doctors and hospitals is also surprisingly widespread".

 

It maybe time for a redressal of plastic surgery procedures and practices, making a chin enhancement surgery all the more beneficial for the patient. Offered at almost every plastic surgery clinic and practice, cosmetic chin surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis.

 

Checking the surgical facility for an AAAHC certification and accreditation by a board like the ASPS can be a solid step in ensuring that the US health care system works towards you.

 

One surgical facility that meets all these requirements is the renowned chin enhancement surgical facility, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

The Most Powerful Chin Implant In The World

That award would most certainly go to Oprah Winfrey.

The talk show host ranks numero uno on the Forbes Most Powerful Celebrity list for 2007-2008 (for the second time may I add). The lady has more financial chutzpah than Steve Jobs’ Apple brainchild, with women scrambling to get everything on her list of must-haves.

Oprah, as the title of the post hints, is believed to have had a chin implant surgery to enhance her face. This speculation was regrettably squashed along with other cosmetic surgery rumors like a breast lift surgery and a liposuction.

What cosmetic surgeons don’t buy is Oprah’s stance on plastic surgery for herself which she constantly keeps denying. She insists that the first thing she’ll do after having a chin enhancement or any other body altering procedure is shout it out to her fans.

Now if we were to believe every celebrity who promised us that wherever would we be!

For a woman who is in the public eye as much as Oprah is, a chin surgery wouldn’t be an abnormality. Oprah’s chin does look more defined now than 10 years ago when she appeared on the cover of Time magazine as a character from a movie she was filming at that time.

The change is remarkable and very comely for her age (54).

Jessica Simpson’s Got A New Chin

Joe Simpson’s daughters couldn’t be less alike.

While one is expecting a baby with her rocker husband, the other is sorting out her relationship. While one is a feisty redhead, the other is a sultry blond bombshell. But both Ashley and Jessica have two things in common though.

Plastic surgery and a busy showbiz life.

While Ashley’s nose surgery comes as no surprise for most of us, Jessica’s possible chin enhancement surgery does raise a few eyebrows. Cityrag has drawn a thorough comparison

between the past and present appearance of Jessica Simpson’s face.

From all accounts and angles Jessica does look like she has had some chin surgery to supplement the nose job. That adorable dent in her chin looks more pronounced now than it was before.

Cosmetic surgeons are able to restructure this dent in a patient’s chin during a chin enhancement surgery and Jessica Simpson’s surgeon has probably worked on hers. Considering the definition the nose and chin provide the face with, it is not unusual for patients to go for a cosmetic surgery that combines these two procedures.

The American Economy & Chin Surgery

There are conflicting views on the American economy’s influence on cosmetic surgery and none of them are making it easy on the chin surgery wishful.

What a potential candidate for cosmetic chin enhancement needs to remember is the nature and costs involved in this particular surgery. Read on for a better idea.

Investors.com reported an analyst speaking for Maxim Group who thinks the cosmetic enhancement business is not one to remain immune to the downturn of the US economy. One of the main reasons cited for this downward spiral is the lack of Medicare or insurance reimbursements for cosmetic surgery.

Unlike more complex plastic surgery procedures, chin implant surgery or a chin reduction is performed on a smaller scale. The economy and subsequently your wallet shouldn’t make it a problem to have this particular procedure as the costs run much less for it.

What a chin surgery patient needs to remember though is to not consider for even one moment a cheaper alternative or even a plastic surgeon that offers less for less. In the long run you could end up coughing more for revisions.

Dave Navarro’s Weak (Chin)

The closest Dave Navarro must have come to plastic surgery of any kind must have been in the form of his ex-wife Carmen Electra.

While Carmen has been a breast surgery poster-girl for a long time, her one-time husband has surprisingly steered clear of that path. Dave’s body tattoos are the best he can boast about in terms of body modification and aesthetic alteration.

Dave, thanks to his Spanish roots and a model for a mum, is blessed with very exotic and well-defined features. Compared to his early days as a musician before Jane’s Addiction he has filled in and matured very well partly explaining why he still decorates countless teenage walls.

However roguishly Dave wears his goatee, it brings to mind a trick a lot of men use to cover up a chin that is less defined. Chin enhancement surgery works to correct just this deformity.

By way of a chin implant cosmetic surgeons add volume to the chin of the patient. Of course, in Dave’s case his chin suits him just right as it is in balance with the rest of his facial features. A weak chin could pose a problem for men who don’t have enough facial hair growth or unevenly proportioned features though.
