| A primer on breast implants
Tired of not filling out swimsuits and T-shirts to her satisfaction, 32-year-old Kristin Brackemyre decided it was time to get some serious breasts. But before that could happen, she knew she had to do some serious homework. She and her lawyer boyfriend researched breast-augmentation surgery as if they were preparing a case for trial. After three years of contemplation and scrutiny, Brackemyre got saline breast implants in August from Dr. Joseph Grzeskiewicz at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre in California. Today, she wears a C-cup bra and describes her surgery and her new figure as 'amazing'. "I feel so much better about putting on clothes, wearing bras and just the fact that I now need a bra," she says. "They (her new breasts) just make me feel better about myself." Plastic surgeons wish all breast augmentation patients would be such diligent consumers.
Mayfair lady
If restaurants were people, Scott's in Mayfair would be an old duchess, one who has just taken a bloody expensive trip to Harley Street for some serious cosmetic surgery. When the stitches heal and the swelling subsides - bear with me here - the old girl should look as good as old. Scott's, which opened on the Haymarket in 1851 and moved to its present site in 1968, could become again one of London's great fish restaurants. The new owners also own the Ivy and Le Caprice. They certainly have the experience to get it right. For now, though, it requires a serious bit of nursing. .

AI’s facelift fails to go down well with designers
AI's distinctive wallpaper, with Mughal miniature motifs is out, replaced by a neutral look that apparently better suits the computer-controlled lighting changes that are supposed to help passengers on super long haul flights deal with the passage of time. There will also be changes of uniform, upholstery and every other aspect of the customer's experience on the flight. "The livery has been just 2-3% of the total change," says Sanjeev Malhotra, director of Aliagroup. Mr Malhotra says understanding the need for such a total and integrated change was what helped his eight-year-old company clinch the deal. AI's call for a new look was answered by a wide range of ad agencies and design companies. "Many of them came with very striking design concepts, but we got it because we said it would have to go beyond just the design, and into every aspect of the Air India experience," says Mr Malhotra.
New Breast Reconstruction Website has Answers for Women Facing ...
Tarrytown, New York (PRWEB) February 6, 2007 -- Women who are concerned, fearful, or mystified about post-mastectomy options to recreate their breasts now have a new resource. Dr. C Andrew Salzberg has created http://www.mybreastreconstruction.com just for them.
More than 100,000 mastectomies are performed each year to treat various types of breast cancer. Increasingly, more women -- including very young women -- who have a family history of breast cancer or who are genetically predisposed to breast cancer, are choosing mastectomy to prevent their risk of developing the disease. For many of these women, breast reconstruction is a type of physical salvation; a way to restore their physical profile and regain their sense of self.
Although current plastic surgery techniques provide many reconstructive options for women, many of these choices are not always understood or even identified.
