Butt lift surgery

Can anyone undergo a butt Lift procedure?

Well, you must have money and this is the only criteria most plastic surgeons think is valid. However, the surgery is not for everyone. If you are younger than 20 or older than 40, you should not undergo the procedure. If you smoke, you can have difficulty with wound healing. You also have to be realistic. You have to remember, not all surgeons are great technically. In most cases, the choice of your surgeon will determine your outcome. So take your time before rushing to surgery. There is no cosmetic procedure that is a surgical emergency and since you are paying for it, you should make an effort to learn something about your surgeon.

Combining cosmetic surgery procedures

Can butt lift surgery be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

You can rest assured, if you have the money, you can have a heart transplant and a colonoscopy done at the same time. Plastic surgeons are business people and will do anything to convince you to have more procedures. So if you want a nose job, big boobs, tight vagina, small arse, face-lift, Botox, just ask.

Is there anything I can do to make the results of butt lift surgery last long?

Best thing you can do is not gain weight. You have to remember two things you will never control- age and gravity. So walk or do some type of exercise and watch what you eat- if you are lucky your buttocks will remain firm and toned for many years- but aging and gravity will continue. In most cases, this sexy erotic look lasts a few years-if you are lucky

Treatment for post pregnancy skin discoloration

-->

Just before my delivery I noticed linear darkening of my skin below the belly button. Now that I have delivered, this skin discoloration is still present. Is there anything I can do about it?

You have what is called linea nigra. This is due to excess pigmentation of skin caused by a certain hormone released by the placenta. My best advice is to keep away from all doctors as this condition will improve on its own- it needs no treatment. You do not need to apply any oils, cream or ointment. Just be patient and within a few weeks it will disappear. There are many doctors who recommend bullshit plastic surgery procedures for this condition- they are simply known as scammers and you should avoid them. The same applies if you have melasma or cholasma-they require no treatment.

Canker sores and lidocaine

I tend to get recurrent canker sores. Each time my doctor prescribes lidocaine. Can this medication cure canker sores?

No, lidocaine is a short acting local anesthetic. It numbs the pain but does not cure canker sores. In fact the pain relief is only for a few seconds. I do not recommend it. You may just apply an ice cube and will get better pain relief. Lidocaine is expensive and a complete waste of money.

IBS and debulking agents

I have IBS and my doctor told me to take bulking agents on a regular basis. Will this help my disorder?

Unfortunately IBS is a difficult disorder to treat. Not all patients respond to the same medications. Moreover, even the responses are variable with the same medication. In general, patients with IBS do not respond to bulking agents like bran or psyllium. The only way to know is to try them out. Bulking agents are safe but they appear to worsen the symptoms of IBS in most patients. if you have tried cereals and this has not helped your IBS, i suggest you change your doctor or try something else.

Cocoa to lower blood pressure

Is it true that ingesting cocoa products can lower blood pressure?

In the last decade, many health miracles have been attributed to cocoa products. Almost every week someone seems to be cured of cancer or a serious medical disorder after ingesting cocoa. Cocoa does contains strong antioxidants, which are claimed to be good for health. However, as far as health is concerned, the effects of cocoa are not consistent, unpredictable or unreliable. 

The few studies on cocoa on blood pressure lowering did not show any benefit. The blood pressure lowering was minimal and similar to that obtained with a placebo (that is the same response you would get by drinking your own urine). If you have high blood pressure, I suggest you go and see your doctor. Fooling around with this silent disorder can lead to serious complications. In the meantime, stop smoking, eat less and walk more. The only thing cocoa will do - is give you severe constipation.
