The term plastic surgery is not just that the processes or means used for implementation are made of plastic. The name of this surgery comes from the Greek name that means rebuilding plastics, mold, model, create. Cosmetic surgery is, therefore, to use concepts, a division of plastic surgery which seeks the gradual and positive change certain body parts to the satisfaction of the patient or the patient. Following are the best plastic surgery or cosmetic plastic surgery more popular in the world of medicine and in the present day practice can be both men and women.

Ab domino plasticity. It means the reconstruction or improvement of the abdominal part, for genetic reasons, supply or by the passage of time is a negative in terms of aesthetic appearance. The implementation of this intervention but not a substitute for thinning processes far short root obesity if the patient suffers directly from this disease, is a good move for the person starts to change their methods of feeding and / or lifestyle. Also in what you have to see the process of care directly to interventions that will help you look better in the belly area. The “replacement” of this area of ??the body of course brings other direct benefits such as improved breathing, better work the cardiovascular system and also other important essentials such as more harmonious adjustment of the position.

Lipos culture. It is believed that around the world is the technique most practiced plastic surgery because there are many people who are optimal candidates for the realization of this intervention. Although after 30 years where you see more the decision to perform a liposuction as such, increasingly younger patients flock to this type of intervention that aims to root out so-called “chubby”, “rabbits” “wheels” and generally sagging, with other intervention in this case to remove stretch marks can be produced by excessive stretching of the skin. Sculpture in its most basic method does not implement a perfect figure as many men and many women claim to have, but it is a medical procedure used to that body proportions are much more consistent with the basic constitution or the patient. This is of course taking into account factors such as the height of a person, their elemental constitution (robust or thin, etc.).

It is important to note that in many cases, patients who decide to have this type of intervention by two in one system, ie taking the decision to end both ab domino plasticity and liposuction in one session.

A year after the Foundation for Program Research (PRF) has announced the launch of the campaign to find the other 150 “were located 31% of new cases of program, a genetic condition characterized by premature aging children.

It is an international awareness campaign was developed in collaboration between the Foundation for Research on Program and GLOBALHealthPR; the international network of independent public relations world is largest in the health sector, represented by Paradigm Argentina Peel Communication.

In October 2009, 54 known cases of program children in 30 countries, but scientists believe that a statistically there are approximately 150 children who have not yet been identified.

Program, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome is a rare, fatal genetic condition characterized by the appearance of premature and accelerated aging in children.

The symptoms of this condition include poor growth, loss of body fat and hair, aged-looking skin, joint pain, hip dislocation, generalized atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. A child with program usually dies because of heart problems, like millions of older people.

Finding a cure may therefore be the key to preventing and treating these and other problems associated with natural aging process. PRF is the only nonprofit organization dedicated solely to finding treatments and a cure for program.

In just 12 months the campaign to find the other 150 “achieved the following results:

* we identified 17 children from 12 countries, 5 continents now know that there are children with program.

* In total 71 children know they have this disease worldwide, a 31% increase over the previous year.

“When we launched the campaign, commented that finding even one child and was successful,” said Audrey Gordon, president and CEO of PRF. Gordon said “this success is the result of a global partnership.”

“We now know that thanks to our perseverance, we can find even more children with program to offer treatments that will change your life and connect with local medical professionals and other families living in the same situation,” he added.

The Foundation for Program Research will continue its work of awareness of the disease in order to achieve more and better results through:

* Media coverage to gain greater knowledge about this disease in parts of the world where there is still no case was identified, such as Russia and China.

* Inform the media and the experts and family through pictures of children with program and explanations of this disease.

* Promote the use of tools such as Face book and Twitter by the media, doctors and families so they can follow the latest developments in research of PRF and find information about program.

“There is a close correlation between the role of the media and the identification of new cases, as happened in Brazil, where the number of children rose from 1 to 7 with the media disseminated information about nationwide “said Gordon.

The Foundation for Program Research (PRF) was established in 1999 to try to find the cause, treatment and cure for program, a premature aging disease that causes the death of children who suffer from heart attacks or stroke at 13 years of middle age. In the past ten years, research carried out in conjunction with the PRF identified the gene that causes program and to the discovery of a possible treatment for children who suffer.
