Cosmetic Surgeons Reveal Women Want Smaller Vaginas, Men Want Larger Penises

by Buck E Filbert
07 July 2007

Las Vegas Nevada, A consortium of cosmetic surgeons gathered at the Rio Hotel and Casino this week to discuss the newest trends in plastic surgery.

After comparing notes and looking at the statistics this year the group came to the conclusion, this has been the year for vaginal reducing, reconstructive surgery and obscenely huge penis enlargement being the top, elected surgery overall.

Dr. Huge Member said, "elective procedures use to be pretty noninvasive, you know nose jobs, tummy tucks and breast enhancements were our bread and butter, now we have women looking for either extremely small, tight genitals or on the other end of the spectrum men in search of extremely large genitalia.

I had a man come in for a Prince Albert last week." (The PA pierces the penis from the outside of the frenulum and into the urethra.At some point it seems these two diametrically opposed desires are going to come into direct conflict with one another.

Surgically reduced vaginas collide with medically altered huge erect penises. Someone must win and someone must loose this battle of opposing sizes.My money is on the enhanced male members because they are the ones that originally turned the women's vaginas into cavernous, echoing, orifices to begin with.

Be they small, or large, orifices live for fulfillment. By default they will once again become candidates for reduction once again.

A recent investigation has revealed some MD's have been intentionally introducing vaginal reduction patients with penis enlargement patients knowing full well the implications of this mating.

Investigators think the Doctors are intentionally making these introductions in the hope of future business. For plastic surgeons it's a revolving door of skin clipping and sausage stuffing. Round and round it goes where it stops nobody knows.

New Regulations Threatens Russia’s Cosmetic Industry

Jul 8, 2007

Russia ’s exploding cosmetic industry may have been dealt a deathblow. New regulations, which came into effect on July 1 has placed the industry in crisis. The regulation will require cosmetic manufacturers to purchase additional equipment. This equipment will be needed so that the Russian government can keep tabs on cosmetics, fragrances and related products that are manufactured or sold in the country.

It is expected that this will result in as much as a 20 percent increase in prices by the end of the year. There is fear that this will force some manufacturers to leave the market. Of the 3,500 producers in the Russian market, only 650 have so far gone ahead and acquired the necessary licences to continue producing.

The new measure is aimed at stopping the illegal importation of alcohol into Russia. Unlawful imports are getting into the country under the guise of being perfumes.

Concern over 'frivolous' Botox sale

09 Jul 2007

PA News

They warned shoppers not to buy any of the treatments on offer in the Grattan mail-order catalogue.

Grattan enables shoppers to buy the treatments, pay over a number of weeks, and have their procedure at a clinic run by Transform, a cosmetic surgery firm.

Experts from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) warned people off buying the non-surgical treatments, which include Botox, lip fillers, skin microdermabrasion and facial peels.

Douglas McGeorge, BAAPS president, said: "I'm surprised that any cosmetic surgery company claiming to provide quality of care would choose to market through a clothing catalogue.

"It is essential the public understands that aesthetic procedures, even if they are non-surgical, are not commodities to buy off-the-shelf and cannot later be exchanged for a different style or size.

"Side effects from injectables may be rare but they do happen, and the latest warnings from manufacturers serve to highlight the need for proper consultation and thorough informed consent by the patient."

Adam Searle, consultant plastic surgeon and former BAAPS president, said: "Aesthetic procedures seem to have been reduced to the status of socks and pants selection."

Pat Dunion, operations director for Transform, said: "Transform Cosmetic Surgery is proud to be the UK's number one surgical and non-surgical provider - we have over 30 years of experience and 175,000 satisfied patients.

"Transform is regulated and audited by the Healthcare Commission and all our skilled and experienced non-surgical practitioners across our 22 clinics are either a qualified doctor, surgeon or a registered general nurse. The partnership with Grattan is an effective means of widening the non-surgical market."

How stem cells can turn tummy flab into a bigger bust

London,
Monday 09.07.07

For women who long for that hour-glass figure, it is two answers to their prayers in one.
Scientists say they have perfected a procedure to take fat from around the middle and turn it into bigger breasts.

The operation could be completed in a lunch hour under local anaesthetic and the cost would be comparable with silicon implants, which cost about £2,000 per breast.

The eventual result can be an increase from a B- cup to a D, it is claimed. And it could be available as soon as next year.

Named Celution, the procedurer involves injecting a 'supercharged' fat mixture into the breast tissue after it has been taken through liposuction from the belly or bottom.

Stem cells are filtered out then put into a cartridge for injection into the breasts within an hour.
While the initial change is small, the breasts gradually 'inflate' over a six-month period.

The idea of taking fat from one part of the body and using it to boost cup size is not new, but in the past the effect was short-lasting because it was reabsorbed into the bloodstream.

The benefit of using stem cells is that the fat is not rejected or absorbed - rather it grows and regenerates within the breast to become a permanent addition.

Details of the technique are published today in Chemical & Industry magazine, which says: "The enlarged breasts look more natural than surgically enhanced breasts."

The Celution procedure has been patented by the U.S. company Cytori. The idea is that it will initially be used on women who have had partial mastectomies as a treatment for breast cancer, and for whom implants are not suitable.

Cytori's director of clinical applications, Dr Kai Pinkernell, said: "The supercharged fat graft survives really well and fills in the volume defect left by a partial mastectomy."

The technique could offer huge medical and psychological benefits for this group of women, with around 300,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in Europe every year.

But Cytori is hoping to go beyond the therapeutic to tap into a huge and lucrative market associated with cosmetic breast enhancement.

Some 26,000 women had cosmetic breast surgery in the UK last year alone, but implants can cause problems of rejection and scarring.

Approval for the procedure has been given by the medical authorities in Germany. Under EU rules, that should clear it for use across all member states. There are other potential cosmetic uses such as, for example, using fat stem cells to plump up and rejuvenate the face.

Dr Pinkernell said the idea of harvesting stem cells from fat could have very many beneficial applications.

"There are more stem cells in fat than in bone marrow. We just need to separate them, and this lends itself to an automated procedure."

Currently, large amounts of stem cells which are contained in the fat removed during cosmetic liposuction operations are thrown away.

In future the procedure could be used to harvest stem cells for a range of purposes.
Cytori, which is based in California, is pursuing the use of stem cells recovered from fat in regenerating the heart.

There have been some positive results from animal tests and work is now going on involving patients with coronary artery disease at a hospital in Madrid.
