A woman is always conscious about how she looks. It is evident that pregnancy is a life turning point, when she gives birth to a new life, mostly, all she cares about is the baby. During pregnancy, her own body remains under tremendous physical and emotional stress and this making of a mother leaves her with a figure that she no longer likes.

The changes she most commonly sees and hates in her body after child birth and feeding are:

• Extra weight gain
• Sagging of breasts
• A loosened vagina
• Extra fat accumulation on tummy, buttocks, hips, arms and thighs

Exercise and diet are obviously a good way to get your body looking good and better. However, there are some changes you cannot diet and exercise away. For instance, after pregnancy some parts of your skin stretches, the skin doesn’t always go back to the way it was before and no amount of exercising or dieting can make that skin shrink back and the only way to make it better is to physically cut off the skin.

Good News:

Today, doctors are able to combine surgeries into one operation, an idea of mommy makeover is multiple operations done in one procedure since technology has improved and it is now safer to do it.

The good news for these young mothers, due to the latest techniques in plastic surgery, now is that it is possible to shed extra kilos and/or inches and turn the body clock backwards…

It is important for us to respect those who choose to undergo cosmetic procedures, just as it is important to respect those who are opposed to surgery.

Where Can the Mommy Makeover be Done?

A mommy makeover procedure can be done by experienced Cosmetic Surgeons in hospitals around the world, for example, these procedures can be done at affordable rates in Bangkok, Thailand.

Phi Phi Islands are an island group in Thailand

Why Thailand?

Tourism is a major economic factor in Thailand, as it welcomes more than 25 million people annually. Its pristine beaches and tropical wet climate,  make Thailand an attractive destination for many vacationers of which most of these are also looking to get advanced medical treatment or procedures done at fair costs than they can get them in other destinations.

The procedures are namely:

– Breast Reduction with Implant (Round shape implant)

– Breast Reduction without Implant

– Abdominoplasty

– Vaser Liposuction

– Buttock Lift

World Hearing Day is held on 3 March each year to raise awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world. Key messages for World Hearing Day 2020 are as follows:

• At all life stages, communication and good hearing health connect us to each other, our communities, and the world.
• For those who have hearing loss, appropriate and timely interventions can facilitate access to education, employment, and communication.
• Globally, there is a lack of access to interventions to address hearing loss, such as hearing aids.
• Early intervention should be made available through health systems.

If you have severe hearing loss, you may benefit from a cochlear implant. This is a device that’s surgically implanted in your cochlea, the spiral-shaped bone in your inner ear.

What is a cochlear implant?

A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that electrically stimulates the cochlear nerve (nerve for hearing). The implant has external and internal parts.

The external part sits behind the ear. It picks up sounds with a microphone. It then processes the sound and transmits it to the internal part of the implant.

The internal part is placed under the skin behind the ear during an outpatient surgery. A thin wire and small electrodes lead to the cochlea, which is part of the inner ear. The wire sends signals to the cochlear nerve, which sends sound information to the brain to produce a hearing sensation. Although normal hearing is not restored, with appropriate therapy and practice, the improved hearing experience can mean an increased awareness of sounds in the environment, as well as better communication through easier lip reading and listening.

A cochlear implant may help someone with hearing loss restore or improve the ability to hear and understand speech. A cochlear implant is different than a hearing aid. A hearing aid makes sounds louder but may not significantly improve speech understanding. When a person struggles to understand speech, even with appropriately fitted hearing aids, a cochlear implant should be considered. When the device is tuned appropriately and the recipient is committed to rehabilitation therapy, the -cochlear implant can significantly increase hearing in adults. Cochlear implants in infants and toddlers may help them listen and learn to speak.

We would like you to know that it is possible to recover your lost hair and gain back your confidence in your looks. First, let’s demystify this procedure and understand what is meant by hair transplant.

What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a procedure in which a plastic or dermatological surgeon moves hair to a bald area of the head. The surgeon usually moves hair from the back or side of the head to the front or top of the head.

Hair transplants typically occur in a medical office under local anesthesia.

Pattern baldness is responsible for the majority of hair loss. This comes down to genetics. The remaining cases are due to a variety of factors, including:

• diet
• stress
• illness
• hormonal imbalance
• medications

Are there different types of hair transplants?

There are two types of transplant procedures: slit grafts and micrografts.

Slit grafts contain 4 to 10 hairs per graft. Micrografts contain 1 to 2 hairs per graft, depending on the amount of coverage needed.

Who might benefit from a hair transplant?

Receiving a hair transplant can improve your appearance and self-confidence. Good candidates for a hair transplant include:

• men with male pattern baldness
• women with thinning hair
• anyone who has lost some hair from a burn or scalp injury

Hair replacement isn’t a good option for:

• women with a widespread pattern of hair loss throughout the scalp
• people who don’t have enough “donor” hair sites from which to remove hair for transplant
• people who form keloid scars (thick, fibrous scars) after injury or surgery
• people whose hair loss is due to medication such as chemotherapy

Where Can I do the Hair Transplant?

The Hair Transplant is available in Trichology Centers around the world.

The hair transplantation procedure usually takes around 6 hours (plus/minus 90 minutes, depending on the number of grafts to be extracted & planted)

Total stay for medical travel and hair transplant procedure is ideally 3 days for instance:

Hair transplant in Istanbul, Turkey:

Usually, the following steps/stages are applied;

1st day – Arrival of the patient to Istanbul, transfer from airport to hotel is free day/night.

2nd day – Transfer from hotel to the clinic early in the morning. Blood tests, doctor’s examination and the operation begins. However, if the patient has some unfit conditions like hypertension or diabetes, the operation may be postponed.

The operation takes place in a very comfortable environment. The patient gets slightly sedated and can even sleep or watch TV, listen to music, etc. A team of 3 or 4 medical technicians and nurses extract hair grafts from a donor area of his own scalp. Then they plant these grafts into the bald are on his scalp. This is a long-lasting painless procedure. It is all handmade, so it requires the skills and experience of the team.

The patient is transferred to the hotel after the operation.

3rd day – The patient comes back to the clinic from the hotel for follow up and washing the hair. This is important to teach the patient about how he is going to wash his hair himself on the following days.

The patient can fly back home after this last step. Some patients take a late afternoon or evening flight for return. Or alternatively, the patient stays one more night in Turkey and flies back the next day. They say it is better to wash the hair on the 4th day if possible. But it is not a must. The results will not change dramatically. But if it is possible, they suggest to keep the patient one more day and offer a city tour, etc.

Approximate costs for hair transplantation are between €1000 to €15000 per operation (depending on the size of the bald area on the scalp and the number of grafts to be picked/planted)
