Pre-Surgery Smoking-Cessation Program Successful

More than a third of the patients who participated in an eight-week kick-the-habit program that started before a scheduled surgery and continued after were able to stop smoking – and were still tobacco-free a year later, according to a recent report.
   
Moreover, patients who agreed to receive help in giving up smoking prior to their surgical procedure had only half the postsurgical complications as those who didn’t receive the help, according to the study, which was published in the journal Anaesthesia.

Plastic Surgery, the Who and What of It

Ever wonder who's getting plastic surgery? For the most part, it's women. Statistics compiled by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that of the 11.5 million cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures done in 2005, over 90% were preformed on women. In fact, surgical procedures for women showed a modest annual increase of 2%, while they were down 8% for men.
