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.
