Human skin receives a severe beating from the sun causing damage that can speed up skin aging. An SPF of at least 15 can give adequate protection when the sun is at its most intense. <a href="http://lorenborud.blogspot.com/">Loren Borud</a>’s years of cosmetic surgery experience has enabled him to advise his clients about getting a great pair of sunglasses that can block out ultraviolet rays.<br /><br />Gravity, surprisingly, is another cause to look out for. Sleeping with one’s face on the pillow repetitively can cause sleep lines that turn into wrinkles after many years of habit. This goes for both men and women. Smoking is also highly discouraged. Studies have proven that individuals who have smoked longer get more wrinkles, as heavy smoking can cause excessive skin wrinkling.<br /><br /><i>Read more of Loren Borud’s expert advice at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20www.borud.com%20">www.borud.com</a>.</i><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9fR7YiCoiygH3eMdR2LaDw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3m-gZazJs4o/TZ2GRXNS8kI/AAAAAAAAAOs/lKcJqnFWe4g/s800/bi.JPG" height="256" width="146" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/DrLorenBorud02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite">Dr. Loren Borud</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/435659186951546745-7531144794787748727?l=lorenborud.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Loren Borudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482810467244853757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435659186951546745.post-8395838828458684712011-04-07T02:41:00.000-07:002011-04-07T02:44:11.880-07:00During his stint as a general surgery resident in the early 90’s in Los Angeles, <a href="http://lorenborud.com/Plastikonomics/Welcome.html/">Dr. Loren Borud</a> assisted on the earliest gastric bypass procedures for weight loss.

The use of anesthesia was also deemed dangerous. <br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/eh7kPcUJf50OdtAVhU5O_w?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/TV47LrsrOsI/AAAAAAAAANI/h3DTQQNDI8M/s800/Waverly%20Weight%20Loss.jpg" height="180" width="250" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/DrLorenBorud02?feat=embedwebsite">Dr. Loren Borud</a></td></tr></table><br /><br /> <br />Now, advances in surgical techniques and anesthesia have made bypass surgery a common procedure with a fairly acceptable complication rate in many hospitals. It is no longer perceived as an extreme measure to take for losing weight and has gained widespread acceptance in many countries. <a href="http://drlorenborud.com/">Dr. Loren Borud</a> has noted that in 2003, more than 100,000 gastric bypass procedures were done in the United States. <br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/pRtriNqAECFl_nsOCcycSA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/SwuskN2vg2I/AAAAAAAAACA/Sry6UilusWQ/s288/Dr.%20Loren%20Borud%20005.jpg" height="288" width="233" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/LorenBorud?feat=embedwebsite">Loren Borud</a></td></tr></table><br /><br />With the increasing popularity of the procedure, a lot of gastric bypass patients have sought plastic surgery methods to contour their bodies after losing so much weight. All the excess, baggy skin left on their now leaner and shrunken bodies is up for removal. Aside from the 100,000 bariatric surgeries done in the US in 2003, there were also 52,000 post-gastric bypass body contouring procedures that took place. Dr. Borud notes that body contouring provides individuals with a much more positive image after massive weight loss. This procedure removes extra skin and fat revealing the leaner body underneath and leaving tighter, younger-looking skin. <br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/-i58cj1qRoboiDGwKtFkIw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/SwuskvQV8ZI/AAAAAAAAACE/S4Gsn_96oSE/s288/Dr.%20Loren%20Borud%20008.jpg" height="288" width="192" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/LorenBorud?feat=embedwebsite">Loren Borud</a></td></tr></table><br /><br />More information on Dr. Borud is available at <a href="http://hans.machighway.com/~borudcom/Dr._Borud/Welcome.html/">Borud.com</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/435659186951546745-839583882845868471?l=lorenborud.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Loren Borudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482810467244853757noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435659186951546745.post-86647967834056544862011-03-18T04:22:00.000-07:002011-03-18T04:24:07.604-07:00<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/FcFSxvrBLmPL2M6Qp9cuCeHr6oH88eea_JRE7fQpSok?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/Sw41T6c0tJI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/n5yaDMklFOM/s800/Dr.%20Loren%20Borud%20008.jpg" height="375" width="250" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCNC4jNyBsfGufQ&feat=embedwebsite">Blogger Pictures</a></td></tr></table><br /><br />Plastic surgery expert <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/drlorenborud">Dr. Loren Borud</a> delves into the utilization of reconstructive surgery to remedy the effects of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on patients.<br /><br />Increased fat deposits in certain areas of the body such as the abdominal area and the back of the neck have been observed among HIV patients.

The most common complaint women have about their bodies is the presence of excess flab, so they diet and exercise their way to a slimmer figure. While some women can already notice a remarkable improvement in their appearance after losing excess weight, other women – particularly those who lost a significant amount of weight – have to deal with sagging, loose skin, and muscles that are undefined and not very firm. This does not only look unattractive. It also gives the body an "untoned", unflattering figure.

One option is an abdominoplasty, more popularly known as a tummy tuck, which removes the excess skin and fat from the midsection. It can also help tighten the abdominal muscles. Another option is the body lift, a procedure that deals with other body parts, such as the arms, thighs, and the butt.

He lets readers take a first person view of the ins and outs, ups and downs of plastic surgeons’ lives, how they work, what makes them tick, and how their profession rapidly changes in response to evolving culture and government. <br /><br />Drawing from his 20-year experience as a surgeon, of which eight were spent in Harvard Medical School, he discusses why many intelligent men and women in the country choose the field of surgery.

And what better way to achieve this than by non-surgical techniques? Non-surgical procedures do not require prolonged recovery periods unlike surgical procedures, giving patients ease and convenience while achieving the desired results, at a fairly cheaper rate.<br /><br />Dr. Loren Borud became well-known for body contouring surgery after severe weight loss, but there are popular non-surgical cellulite reduction procedures recommended for particular target areas such as mesotherapy and Lipodissolve™. Mesotherapy involves the stimulation of the middle layer of the skin (called the mesoderm) through injections made of vitamins, homeopathic medications and pharmaceuticals. These formulations cause the fat to be broken down and naturally flushed out of the body. Lipodissolve™ is pretty similar to mesotherapy’s approach —the only difference is that Lipodissolve™ uses a more concentrated formulation. Most patients who undergo mesotherapy advance to Lipodissolve™ for even better results.<br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/urxNDGmgI9EJTqnICkEE0A?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/TCq8aXiBknI/AAAAAAAAAJA/YheEeSFD82g/s800/Plastikonomics%2C%20Dr.%20Loren%20Borud.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/LorenBorud?feat=embedwebsite">Loren Borud</a></td></tr></table><br /><br />Dr. Loren Borud discusses how trends change and affect the field of plastic surgery in his book “Plastikonomics: What I Learned as a Harvard Plastic Surgeon”.

The results, as with Dubai, are flawless.<br /><br /><table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Wic1XbI1Z7Xws9f8rwagHQ?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/TCq1-AHgZvI/AAAAAAAAAH0/ZvzPtFiNZ0o/s400/Loren%20Borud%20Dubai2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/LorenBorud?feat=embedwebsite">Loren Borud</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Image source: www.dubai.com</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/435659186951546745-4292298496272634306?l=lorenborud.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Loren Borudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482810467244853757noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435659186951546745.post-36428963431463697402009-09-22T15:15:00.000-07:002010-06-29T20:21:38.459-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/SrlNnDoRBsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/1bzKeZaVRC8/s1600-h/P8130027.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 145px; height: 193px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/SrlNnDoRBsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/1bzKeZaVRC8/s320/P8130027.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384420162882569922" border="0" /></a><br />I couldn’t operate without: my iPod. During the all day combined body contouring procedures that I do, music helps our team keep the focus, thanks to Classic Rock with some Hip/Hip thrown in.<br /><br />The single biggest contribution to plastic surgery was: Beyond his technical contributions to plastic surgery, Sir Harold Gillies defined through example the sine qua non of the burgeoning field: surgical problem-solving.<br /><br />The best part of next weekend will be: riding my road bike through the countryside near Concord, then watching the Formula 1 race on satellite.<br /><br />The last book I read was -- Divine Proportion: Phi in Art, Nature, and Science. It’s about beauty and the Fibonacci sequence.<br /><br />The best thing about plastic surgery is: the satisfaction from providing good patient care, followed closely by the friendship and fellowship that develops with other plastic surgeons locally and around the world.<br /><br />The worst thing about plastic surgery is: Being consulted for aesthetic surgery on-the-spot at cocktail parties! I’ve started saying I’m a hand surgeon (also true but less likely to create trouble).<br /><br />My all time favorite movie is: Apocalypse Now. I like books and movies that explore the extremes of humanity and the human condition, even if they can be a bit dark.<br /><br />The single biggest influence on my choice to become a plastic surgeon: At UCLA, I was originally in the ENT program, but rotated through plastic surgery as an intern. Bill Shaw took me under his wing, I switched to general surgery, and then onto plastic surgery! I’m very grateful to Dr. Shaw and my other mentors. The importance of mentoring cannot be overstated, and I try to pass it down to my own residents.<br /><br />The best vacation I ever took was: Through academic meetings, I’ve been fortunate to travel in the middle east: Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. The people, the ancient Biblical sites, and the spiritual nature of the places made these trips absolutely unforgettable.<br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/K0KfJElROAEjkw707MqkhA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/TCqz5cuanNI/AAAAAAAAAHk/7_0B5lWyGPM/s800/Dr.%20Loren%20Borud%20in%20Dubai.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/LorenBorud?feat=embedwebsite">Loren Borud</a></td></tr></table><br /><br />The piece of software I couldn’t live without: Endnote… The designers of Endnote should win some type of humanitarian award! I never have to worry about references and bibliographies again (no, I don’t have any financial disclosures to make)!<br /><br />I seriously collect: Oriental Carpets. The natural-dye carpets woven by hand, especially 70 or more years ago, are really incredible works of art. The painstaking work was accomplished (like plastic surgery) by skilled crafts-people who were obsessive about detail. I mean, think about it: a million knots per square meter for some carpets!<br /><br />The best thing a grateful patient gave me was: A five foot tall painted giraffe. It was hand-carved out of a tree trunk with a chain-saw!<br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/VNMK_8coIpkjPH81fCakrw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_YVQoXD6m_AY/Swusl9NliyI/AAAAAAAAACU/TI2rSmy_A7k/s400/Dr.%20Loren%20Borud%20013.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/dr.lorenborud/LorenBorud?feat=embedwebsite">Loren Borud</a></td></tr></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/435659186951546745-3642896343146369740?l=lorenborud.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Loren Borudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482810467244853757noreply@blogger.com0
