Reconstructive Plastic Surgery in Shreveport Among the Benefits of FSA


Disfigurement, either by disease or accident, can be emotionally painful, especially in a society that tends to be extremely image-conscious. Shreveport locals who are going through such an experience can seek the help of a trusted Shreveport plastic surgery center like Knight and Sanders in identifying solutions. Still, a reconstructive surgery isn’t cheap, much like other medical procedures for that matter. Fortunately, people who need reconstructive procedures may resort to a number of available means for financing, one of which is the medical flexible spending account (FSA).

Paying for Shreveport, LA Breast Augmentation Costs Through the FSA


One of the things Shreveport residents may want to consider is using their FSAs to finance cosmetic procedures that they might have been wanting to get for quite some time. For example, locals who intend to get breast augmentation in Shreveport, LA can use their FSAs to cover some of the costs of the procedure by making certain rules work in their favor. According to the current guidelines, breast augmentation generally isn’t eligible for FSA payments, since, as a cosmetic procedure, it does not carry significant impact on personal health. However, pain medications that are typically prescribed after the procedure, such as Percocet and Demero, can be reimbursed by FSAs.

Does your company offer a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)? If you’ve been thinking of having a Shreveport plastic surgery procedure done but can’t find a way to afford it, an FSA might help. If you’ve never used your FSA before, the time to start learning more about it is now. How an FSA works An FSA allows you to set aside a portion of your income before taxes. You can save money since your deposit is deducted before taxes. You can then use the savings for qualified medical expenses. Many companies now offer FSAs to their employees. Some FSAs even provide you with a card that you can use like a credit card to access your account.

Conventional Shreveport Breast Augmentation is Safer for Now


Because of the recognized ability of stem cells for tissue or organ regeneration, advertising claims on what stem cell therapy can do to reverse aging have taken a tricky turn. Many of the claims of what the therapy can do have not been proven and are yet without any scientific basis. There was a case involving an L.A. resident two years ago that made headlines after the latter underwent a stem cell facelift. The woman turned over her own adult stem cells to the clinic that would perform surgery on her, and unknowingly injected mesenchymal stem cells (cells more likely to turn to bone rather than fat) into her eyelids. The result is an unwavering pain and a disturbing “clicking” sound in her right eye, which turned out to be small fragments of bone rubbing against each other. The patient was unable to open her eyes for months.

Got Migraine? You Could Look at Knight and Sanders – Plastic Surgery for Relief


Migraine has long been treated with conventional medications. But with advancements in plastic and reconstructive surgery research, it has been determined that migraine apparently can now be treated using two cosmetic surgery procedures—eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and forehead lifts. These two surgeries are believed to help alleviate migraine attacks. Some of the earliest trials of performing blepharoplasty for migraine relief were performed by a team of surgeons from Louisiana State University’s School of Medicine. Also called eyelid lift, blepharoplasty is done by adding or removing fat from the eyelids. Performing the so-called “trigger nerve decompression” surgery on selected patients, the LSU surgeons reported an over 90 percent success rate on migraine relief as an effect of the surgery—a finding which they published in the journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Shreveport Plastic Surgery Brings the “Distinct Face” Closer to You


Conventions of beauty are relative, usually depending on the location and era, and are, therefore, always changing. A certain standard has remained, though—the preference for symmetrical beauty; one that some people refer to as the mathematical basis of beauty, or the Golden Ratio. From a postmodern or post-structural perspective, that definition of beauty is already non-existent, with androgyny being the norm of today’s beautiful people. However, there’s always that distinct face or body that people look for and love in models or Hollywood celebrities, no matter how diverse their features may be. That “distinct face” – which, surprisingly, still adheres to symmetry – would always be a factor in people’s pursuit of beauty, even in the development of procedures for plastic surgery in Shreveport, Louisiana, and other cities in the United States.

Increase Your Confidence with Breast Augmentation in Shreveport, LA


"Breast augmentation in Shreveport is not an easy matter to decide on though. Women should first consider why they want to undergo that procedure. From a study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, those who had breast augmentation done were usually around 30 to 39. This is usually the age when women are in the middle of their childbearing years; they would have concerns about their breasts losing their fullness and volume. The same can be said for those who are older, though they would be more concerned in staving off the effects of age. Those who undergo augmentation have two choices of implants. The first is made of silicone gel; this is usually the preferred implant due to its long track record of success. It also makes breasts fuller and firmer with a more natural feel. The second choice is to use saline implants. These are essentially bags filled with a sterile salt water solution; they can wrinkle and rupture, but are a more affordable option than silicone."

Looking Good Takes a Bit of Work: Having Plastic Surgery in Shreveport

Skilled Shreveport plastic surgeons like those from Knight and Sanders would be able to do other things like widen your eyes, change the shape of your nose, and reduce your weight.

To find out if your chosen doctor is qualified for the job, just visit the American Board of Facial and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This ensures that your doctor is fully trained in his or her chosen specialty of Facial Plastic Surgery or General Plastic Surgery. This also means that they passed all written and oral tests for the position. Additionally, a license is renewed every ten years."
