Your Complete Guide to Breast Reduction and Breast Lifts

Author: Alain Polynic

Have You Ever Wished Your Breasts Were Smaller?
 
If so, you probably already know the problems large breasts can cause—social embarrassment, back and neck pain, shoulder pain from bra straps cutting into your shoulders, and heat rashes under your breasts in the summer. Large, heavy breasts can even affect your posture, causing you to gradually stoop.
 
Fortunately, surgical options are available that can greatly reduce your discomfort.  Thousands of women have found relief through breast reduction surgery. Authors Alain Polynice, M.D. and Aloysius Smith, M.D. are board-certified plastic surgeons who have performed hundreds of these breast procedures and now share their expertise and experience with you. They answer such questions as:
 
            •  How much can breast size be reduced?
            •  What kind of anesthesia is used?
            •  Where are the incisions placed?
            •  Where will I have scars?
            •  Is there much pain after surgery?
            •  How long is the recovery period?
            •  What are the potential complications?
                       
In Your Complete Guide to Breast Reduction and Breast Lifts, the authors guide you through the entire experience of breast reduction surgery; they also cover another popular procedure—breast lifts. From your first consultation to post-surgical care, they deliver information that will help you decide whether cosmetic breast surgery is for you.

This book also contains 60 color photos, including dozens of "before and after" photos of women who have had breast reductions and breast lifts, a resource section, glossary, and index.

Fitness Information for Teens: Health Tips about Exercise, Physical Well-Being, and Health Maintenance

Author: Lisa Bakewell

According to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, adolescence itself is a risk factor for physical inactivity-a major contributor to obesity, one of the most serious chronic health conditions threatening the nation today. During the teen years, opportunities to participate in organized sports decrease and fewer hours are spent in physical education classes. Teens also walk less once they start driving, and activities like watching television, listening to music, playing video games, and online computing can lead to the development of a sedentary lifestyle. By increasing activity and becoming fit, however, teens can adopt habits that will help them maintain wellness throughout their adult years.

Sex as Nature Intended It: The Most Important Thing You Need to Know about Making Love, but No One Could Tell You until Now

Author: Kristen OHara

Most Important Book on Sexuality Ever Written. Destined to capture our national consciousness and change the sex life and sexual attitude of America's men and women forevermore.

Nature's Secret to Greatest Sex Ever! This landmark book is a must-read for every man and woman.

If you are a man, it will improve your sex life immensely—not simply an enhancement—but a profound enrichment. Not just more of the same. But NEW sensations, BETTER sensations, awakening you to sensual delights beyond your highest expectations. At the same time, it offers a newfound explanation and solution for the sexual dysfunctions you may be experiencing.

If you are a woman, you, too, have much to look forward to, for it brings the promise of greater overall happiness between the sheets, and pages, of your life. Gentler sex, more sensuous sex, more satisfying sex, increased attainment of orgasm from intercourse, can be yours—giving you new insight into the joy that lovemaking can bring when nature is on your side. At the same time, it will give you a new perspective on the role sexual fulfillment—true sexual fulfillment—plays in the overall well-being of your relationship.

How can the book make such a prodigious promise?

By revealing a sexual truth of nature—a truth of nature so elemental and yet so enabling, it will not only bring you and your partner a more fulfilling sex life, but, in the process, will reach into the very heart of your relationship and bring a deeper meaning to the word "love."

Discusses sex, love, and relationship happiness from a new and surprising perspective: How does surgical alteration of the penis in infancy (circumcision) affect the sexuality of a man when he becomes an adult? How does the circumcised penis affect the sexual pleasure of the woman on the receiving end? And how does sexual pleasure during intercourse—or a deficiency—affect the love bond of the relationship?

This landmark book is the first to detail the many sexual functions and benefits of the male foreskin for both the man and his female partner.

Presents unequivocal evidence that the foreskin plays a multifaceted role during intercourse that not only promotes increased sexual pleasure, but this enhanced pleasure also serves to enrich and continually re-cement the love bond, borne from sexual union.

Circumcision's removal of the foreskin (ultra-erogenous tissue and the penis's only moving part) not only diminishes the man's sexual pleasure, but also the woman's. A national survey of women, conducted by the author, reveals that circumcision abnormalizes the way the penis thrusts and feels to a woman, significantly diminishing her sexual enjoyment and her ability to achieve orgasm from intercourse.

The book's explanations of the profound negative effects circumcision has on the intercourse experience of both partners will surely leave America stunned. But luckily, there is a bright side to this shocking news: It is now possible to restore the foreskin through various non-surgical techniques. The book addresses this topic and enwraps the emerging movement for foreskin restoration with hope, promise, and dignity.

What People Are Saying

Christiane Northrup
I've always felt that the male foreskin is there for a reason. Until recently, I didn't know exactly what that reason was. But now, thanks to Kristen O'Hara's well-researched book, I finally understand the reasons for the design of the penis and foreskin, and how this design ensures optimal penile function, including the intact organ's ability to satisfy the female sexually.

Brain Repair or Healthy Foods

Brain Repair

Author: Sonald G Stein

Sixty years ago, the Nobel laureate Santiago Ramon y Cajal stated that "in the adult brain, nervous pathways are fixed and immutable; everything may die, nothing may be regenerated." Cajal's influence has been legendary--and conventional wisdom still holds that the human brain cannot repair itself. Today, however, remarkable discoveries from laboratories around the world offer a much more optimistic prognosis. In Brain Repair, three internationally renowned neuroscientists team up to offer an intriguing and up-to-the-minute introduction to the explosive advances being made in the research, technology, and treatment of brain damage.
The key to neuroscience's most exciting discoveries to date is a theory that is rapidly gaining adherents in the scientific community--the theory of neuroplasticity. Unlike the prevalent notion that mental processes--like seeing, remembering, and speaking--take place only within highly specialized brain regions made up of irreplaceable and non-regenerating cells, neuroplasticity stresses that cells throughout the brain can not only regenerate, but can adapt their function to assume critical roles once performed by damaged tissue. In clear, accessible language, the authors show us that the brain manufactures a host of complex chemicals that actually foster growth in damaged brain cells. We visit the laboratories where researchers are untangling the mystery of Parkinson's disease and trying to understand what goes wrong in stroke victims, and why some, thought permanently impaired, show remarkable improvements. In addition, they discuss how even today misguided ideas can adversely affect how physicians treat patients--for example, they describe common drugtreatments given to stroke and head trauma patients that can actually worsen the effects of brain damage. And, along the way, they detail the fascinating history of how brain structure and functioning has been understood and studied, from prehistoric times to the present.
Over a half million people each year suffer brain-damaging injuries and diseases--but the outlook for their eventual recovery is far more hopeful than it was just a short while ago. A best-selling volume in France and Mexico, Brain Repair provides a vividly written, wide-ranging look at the leading edge of one of science's most exciting frontiers.

Booknews

Three renowned neuroscientists review recent advances in the research, technology, and treatment of brain damage in language the general reader can understand. They reveal that brain cells can regenerate and adapt their functions to take over the role of damaged tissue, criticize initial treatments in trauma centers that can lead to further damage, and look at laboratory research in humans and animals leading toward a new understanding of Parkinson's disease, stroke, age and recovery, and the role of environment in recovery of function.
