| botox and lip filler training: ANATOMY & LIP ENHANCEMENT NABILA AZIB, MD, JEAN-BAPTISTE CHARRIER, MD, BERNARD CORNETTE DE SAINT CYR, MD, IRINA DMITRIEVA, MD, PHILIPPE GARCIA, MD, ULIANA GOUT, MD, NIKLAS IBLHER, MD, THIERRY LEMAIRE, MD, XAVIER NOEL, MD, HERVÉ PADEY, MD, TATJANA PAVICIC, MD, VINCENZO PENNA, MD, YVES SURLEMONT, MD, G.BJÖRN STARK, MD, PATRICK TRÉVIDIC, MD, INES VERNER, MD, VÉRONIQUE GASSIA, MD, Our 360 degrees approach to lip enhancement Due to their complexity, the structure and function of the orbicularis oris muscle particularly caught our attention. This unusual circular muscle around the buccal opening, which is not attached to any bone, consists of intertwined fibres that simultaneously act as a dilator and a sphincter. Moreover, the peripheral fibres of this muscle are interlaced with the peribuccal muscles enabling the infinite variations of facial expressiveness. It is essential to understand all of these elements so that they are rigorously safeguarded when undergoing the various type of treatment we can offer. The second common thread in our book is based on highly practical aspects of the various procedures being proposed. From working environment and preparation of the equipment through well whether anaesthesia is indicated and what operating technique is recommended, the contributors have described their personal technical preferences in a context of consistency in this collective effort. Thus we have addressed lip rejuvenation and augmentation with the same balance. Although most of the authors routinely use hyaluronic acid in the course of treatment, it seems to us indispensable to pay special attention to techniques based on the grafting of adipose tissue. The use of adipose tissue, which demands mastery of surgical techniques, has shown itself to be efficient and holds yet more potential in many applications because of the way in which this type of tissue develops in situ after fat grafting. Physicians and surgeons involved in the lip enhancement are working to the same end. We should know all about the sites where we make our injections and to need to analyse with rigour the objective established together with the patient. We all have to take into account the natural balance of the various volumes when remodelling lips to ensure a pretty smile that brings pleasure all around. In this, as in other areas, modesty and caution are the watchwords. In writing and publishing this work Expert 2 Expert attempts to build a bridge between the anatomical knowledge essential to our praxis and the routine practice of lip enhancement procedures.

| botox and lip filler training: Breastfeeding and Medication Wendy Jones, 2018-05-11 Sadly, women often feel they have no alternative but to give up breastfeeding, having been prescribed or purchased medication. In many cases, however, this is unnecessary. This book outlines the evidence base for the use of medication during breastfeeding. Breastfeeding and Medication presents a comprehensive A to Z guide to the most frequently prescribed drugs and their safety for breastfeeding mothers. Evaluating the evidence for interventions and using a simple format for quickly identifying medications that are safe or unsafe to use, it also highlights those drugs where there is inconclusive evidence. Additional contextual information makes this the most complete text for those practitioners who support and treat breastfeeding women. It: provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the breast together with hormonal influences to better understand how complications, such as mastitis, arise and inform the approach to their treatment; includes a section on conditions that affect women specifically when they are lactating where prescription of medication may be necessary; discusses the importance of breastfeeding and its advantages, as well as its disadvantages; and explores how to support breastfeeding mothers, and presents a counselling model approach. This new edition contains information on more drugs and a chapter on the management of some chronic conditions which may affect breastfeeding mothers. In most cases there are options to support the mother’s optimal care whilst allowing her to continue to breastfeed her baby as long as she wishes. This is a topic which raises many questions on social media, which informed the choice of conditions to consider. This is an invaluable reference for all health practitioners and volunteers who work with, support and treat breastfeeding women, including lactation consultants, breastfeeding support workers, health visitors, GPs, practice nurses, pharmacists and midwives. |

I started with the first chapter and could not put it down until I finished chapter 17, End of Contract. It is too bad this is fiction, because if this was reality I would apply for a position. Thank you so much for such a stimulating read. Hello.... loved your medical model story. While you write it as fiction the job is not all made up. While attending UCLA in the early 50s I was an art model for life drawing classes and was approached by a faculty member who said that there was money to be made modeling for the medical school too. I have modeled nude most of my life for artists in classes and individually...and sometimes done erotic poses which I find most exciting too. You are a good writer, no very good writer, and please continue Hey man... just finished reading 'prisoner officer' & 'model patient'...... WOW.. amazingly vivid stories.... a dream come true. Fantastic how you can make a sequence of very logic events lead to the most graphic FF stories I ever read. I'm a huge FF fan and addict, expert at it I believe. Wish I could live this fantasy. Thanks mate for giving me this pleasure, owe you! Your story was fantastic. Quite simply riveting. I am very much looking forward to anything else you would care to publish. Is this story entirely fiction or is there any truth to it? Keep up the good work. I have published about fifty stories, and probably read ten times that amount. I didn't think there was any more originality to be garnered from gay stories, (believe me I try), but yours has done it. Firstly, congratulations, I think the concept was brilliant and so much fun to read. I think the story would rate the most erotic I have read, at the same time as being fun. |

| botox and lip filler training: Anatomy & volumising injections NABILA AZIB, MD, PHILIPPE BERROS, MD, FRÉDÉRIC BRACCINI, MD, OLIVIER CLAUDE, MD, PATRICK TRÉVIDIC, MD, DR KATRIN DREISSIGACKER, MD, PHILIPPE GARCIA, MD, FABIO INGALLINA, MD, THIERRY LEMAIRE, MD, FRÉDÉRIQUE-OLIVIER MASVEYRAUD, MD, P. ANDRE, MD, 2012 Facial rejuvenation with fillers over the last twenty years, leading to the coming of a new era with hyaluronic acid. The first book in the Master Collection addressed indications and technique for the injection of botulinum toxin. This new work extends our work on facial rejuvenation to the field of volumising injections. The topic is of great importance given that the fight against aging is not just a trivial question of fashion but is essential to an individual’s well-being and social relationships. Major progress in the techniques of facial rejuvenation in the last decade This is an opportune moment for such a review insofar as there has been major progress in the techniques of facial rejuvenation in the last decade. The broad range of different resources available to us today means that we now often have extensive choice when making our therapeutic decisions. However, none of us would want to cross the ill-defined line between pleasing, natural, balanced rejuvenation and a radical change in facial equilibrium. Medicine and aesthetic surgery are complementary disciplines, both developing quickly but not in competition. The indications for one or the other must always be followed with utmost rigour. The road to excellent outcomes passes by combining the various different methods available to us and by acting together with other experts. All experts agree on the efficacy of hyaluronic acid From the first timid filling in of wrinkles barely twenty years ago, through focused filling treatments and ultimately global injection of the whole face, the journey has been long and sometimes difficult but always full of lessons. Many different products have been used. Some turned out of have a short lifetime and others had adverse effects, serious ones in some cases. Finally, one compound emerged from the pack and now all experts agree on its efficacy; that compound is hyaluronic acid. Philippe Garcia, MD Forewords FOREWORDS TO ANATOMY AND VOLUMISING INJECTIONS Presentation of our approach necessary to determine the relationships between various anatomical planes into which we inject fillers. The authors of this book have chosen to review the basic anatomy By performing serial dissections plane by plane, we have identified safe areas as well as potential hazards. This approach seemed necessary to determine the relationships between the various anatomical planes into which inject fillers. An essential part of this approach is detailed analysis of the different fat compartments which play such an important part in age-related changes to the face. Our work was completed by the dissection of muscles and septa, as well as the identification of their relationship with the fat compartments. These structures are particularly important when it comes to treatment of the infraorbital region and the mandibular line. Therefore, facial aging can no longer be exclusively attributed to the consequences of slippage of the various planes under the influence of gravity, as used to be believed. Process of facial aging is far more complex It is now obvious that the process of facial aging is far more complex. It is even generally accepted now that downward displacements of the fat compartments in the face are controlled by a series of different septa and other ligaments (both false and true) to which they are attached. Moreover, it is also likely that these fat compartments change with time by shrinking and expanding. In the same spirit, what used to be seen as distension of the tissue associated with the muscles of the face and neck could sometimes be a muscular contracture. Probing the exact mechanisms underlying facial aging brings us into a world rich in surprises. And experts from all fields have not finished surprising us with their imagination and enthusiasm.

The authors show how laser-assisted preparation hasbroadened the spectrum of operative possibilities in gynecology. Major points of attention are experimental surgery and basic research, details of application with respect to specific indications, and future potential. Furthermore, the clear definition of the possibilities and limitations of laser technology puts an end to the highly stylized view of a patent wonder divorced from general operative standards. Thereis no doubt that users of laser technology stand on the threshold of a promising development and yet, despite the present elegant applications, thefirst steps to maturity are only now being taken. |
