Where is the Best Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery?
I know one place that I would not trust for the best plastic and cosmetic surgery. The best cosmetic surgery is not done better in any geographical area. The only qualification for a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon is to acquire space in Beverly Hills to see patients. That, by itself, is no certification of any great skills. Sometimes it is just the opposite. Sometimes doctors who practice cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills are not even trained plastic surgeons. Sometimes doctors have space in Beverly Hills so that they can say they practice in Beverly Hills. They may be able to make more money by saying that, but it does not show that they have any great credentials for doing cosmetic surgery.
The best way to look for the best plastic surgery is to find a plastic surgeon who is Board Certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). This organization makes sure that your plastic surgeon has gone through long, and rigorous training and adheres to very high ethics. Some plastic surgeons, who are members of ASPS concentrate their practices in the area of cosmetic plastic surgery and may be invited to become a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). This is truly the elite group that you should be looking for when you are in the market for cosmetic surgery. This group is the cream of the crop and must adhere to the very highest ethical and moral standards, and continuing medical education and research. They are not flashy and flamboyant, but steady and reliable.
They are not in any one geographical area. They are scattered throughout the USA. So please check the training and credentials of your chosen doctor before submitting yourself to his knife!

How can you estimate your breast size after implant surgery?
I do not think it is useful to put bags of water or rice in your bra and expect that this will show you the best implant size. For one thing you could put an unrealistically large bag in your bra and implants of that size would not fit. This method does not take into account your tissue elasticity or stretch capability.
The best method that I have found takes a little imagination. Try pulling the nipple out to maximal stretch. Then imagine the breast filled out as in the attached illustration. Although not quite so easy as padding the bra this is more accurate and takes your own tissues into account.

Can BOTOX make you happier?
Psychologists have long thought that the simple act of smiling actually makes you feel better. Now scientists have reported to the British Psychological Society that if you cannot frown and put on an angry or sad expression that you might not actually feel as angry or sad.
They tested one group of patients who had recently received BOTOX for their frown muscles against another group who had not received BOTOX. The BOTOX group had less brain activity when they tried to put on an angry expression than the non treated group.
So it is probable that facial expression has an effect on mood as well as the other way around. This improvement in mood will likely only be effective while the BOTOX remains effective.
