Lip Cosmetic Surgery III

lip surgeryIt is important to mention that “Hyaluronic acid is reabsorbed by 80% while the fat is absorbed only 50%, which means that the remaining amount on the lips”, says surgeon.

However, this procedure does not apply in all people, as in the case of people with diabetes must be extra careful not to suffer decompensation.

Nor should it be applied to individuals who are taking anti-inflammatory, since before the product can be reabsorbed. And if you are suffering from a herpes virus infection at the lip, you should wait until the infection disappears.

Another technique used to thicken the lips is to remove a little skin in the form of wedge just under the nose, lip edges joining and then returning to close technique is known as lifting. This technique makes teaching more lip up the inside of it.

Thus, the labial mucosa is concentrated on the inside, getting higher and lifting effect of the lip. This practice reduces the lip and for this reason can only be used in people who have a sufficient thickness of the lips.

Moreover, if you’re willing to go through surgery, can opt for a very economical option as the use of gloss and lipsticks that are supposed to provide fleshy lips. However, even with these we must be careful as not all deliver what they promise.

We should point out that experts glare or pencils that contains niacin, cinnamon, or mint caffeine can produce a temporary swelling effect due to the dilation of blood vessels that they produce.

Another alternative to increase the volume of the lips is to use grafts from the patient’s own fat and will use temporary products, such as hyaluronic acid.

In general, liposuction can be obtained by any part of the body where there is sufficient accumulation of fat and subsequently used to fill in the lips.

Thus, the rendered fat will be in direct contact with the adjacent tissue, facilitating rapid integration and the fat remains in place.

This procedure is an optimal method, because it does not add foreign substances, promotes skin rejuvenation and lasts several years, obtaining also a natural effect with no major contraindications.

On the other hand, injections of hyaluronic acid, is another technique used, since it is a molecule naturally present has the capacity to absorb and retain large amounts of water on the skin.

We should mention that when you are young are provided with a large amount of this molecule, but from age 40 production is reduced by half, and 60 years, only less than 10%. Thus, the new generation hyaluronic acid is the most used, since it is synthetic and lasts up to one year.

The procedure consists of a 30-minute treatment. This intervention does not require hospitalization or passage under the knife, but can be done in the doctor’s office.

Lip Cosmetic Surgery I

If these materials are hardened and entrenched the solution was sought to remove the repentant. After the age of silicon, which is now being done is to remove a small part of the body and put it on the lips.

A group of U.S. scientists has developed a new technique of long-term, based on the use of muscle grafts in question and the overlying tissue.

In this sense, is generally a small sample, a strip of muscle and connective tissue of the upper neck. In this regard, you can vary the amount of muscle function desired lip augmentation you want to achieve.

Then, practice a small incision in the corner of each side of the mouth and a cannula is inserted under the skin, where you insert the strip of muscle (sternocleidomastoid) removed.

However, not all people can undergo this surgery. This is because it is contraindicated in patients who have a large scar on the lip due to previous trauma or repair a cleft lip.

Serotonin is involved in regulating sleep, appetite and mood. Tryptophan is also a precursor of niacin (also called nicotinic acid, which is a water soluble vitamin B group).

But though the tryptophan can act as a sleep aid and relax the nervous system, its action can be further enhanced by the presence of other milk components such as calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium may have a calming effect and are necessary for the balance of our nervous system.

If the milk is skimmed have less fat. This is beneficial for the cardiovascular system, especially if we take much fat in other foods such as meats, sausages, etc. But we must bear in mind that if you lose fat milk loses its vitamins A and D that are dissolved in fat. It would therefore be desirable that these vitamins have milk added.

4. The combination of milk and cereal

The protein content of cereals combine well with the milk, increasing the quality of it, since they complement very well. Milk is poor in methionine and cereals are rich in it. Milk is rich in lysine and wheat does not. Tryptophan provides milk and corn was not produced. Grains are also rich in B vitamins and milk, plus vitamins A, D, is also rich in vitamin B2 and B12. B group vitamins together are necessary to balance the nervous system.

Inhibitor of Nutrients Absorption III

nutrients absorptionWhen ingested, these compounds hinder the absorption of carbohydrates and proteins.

The digestive system has enzymes called amylases that are responsible for breaking the chains of carbohydrates into simple links so they can be absorbed and enter the blood.

The wheat and pulses have these amylase inhibiting substances that cause so carbohydrates are absorbed less. This makes them suitable in the treatment of diabetes or obesity, although some of these inhibitory substances are destroyed by stomach enzymes.

The digestive system also has substances such as trypsin that breaks the chain of proteins called amino acids links diet, suitable for absorption and passage into the blood.

Soybeans, beans, peas, lentils, beans, etc., Antitrypsin have a factor that prevents the absorption of amino acids in dietary protein. But the substance is inactive when these foods are calientan.Otros foods such as cocoa, beans, bananas and nuts have substances called tannins, which combine with proteins and hinder the absorption of these.

Inhibitor of Nutrients Absorption II

nutrients absorption

Dietary fiber has the same effect. Other vegetables in the cruciferous family such as mustard greens, turnips, radishes, cabbage, broccoli and oil seed rape, have substances called glucosinolates that are capable of generating isocyanates, which interfere with the metabolism of iodine in the diet can cause goiter disease if they are abused and not compensated by intake of other foods that provide iodine, like fish.

2. Substances that interfere with vitamins

Some vegetables such as carrots, squash, cabbage, tomatoes and melons have an enzyme called ascorbasa that transforms vitamin C to dehydroascorbic acid which has no such capacity as vitamin C. Blanching of these foods destroys this enzyme and prevents the destruction of vitamin C.

3. Substances that alter the absorption of proteins

Other foods such as legumes, cereals and tubers have substances act on the ground to defend it from attacks by insects and microorganisms.
