Permanent Hair Removal for men (face) in Philippines?

Hi! Good day to you all. I just want to know what permanent hair removal method is suitable for men to remove their facial hairs like the sideburns, moustache, and beards? I’ve heard of two popular methods (electrolysis & laser) but would like to know of any mishaps or risks that can possibly happen to the use of any one of them. And if ever, anyone know a professional who I can contact for with regards to this matter here in the Philippines? A licensed dermatologists would be preferred rather than some other beauty salons or the likes. Hope to hear from you guys. Thanks and have a nice day!

I’m from Toronto, Canada, but i was in the Philippines for vacation with my family this summer. Umm.. try Ricky Reyes or Vicky Belo ?

Pocket Perfection in Revisionary Breast Surgery

One of the most common complications after breast augmentation surgery is implant mal-position. This occurs when the implant is in an incorrect position on the chest wall. This may include incorrect position of the implant superiorly (“riding high”), inferiorly (“bottoming out”), medially (“symmastia or uni-boob”) or laterally (falling outward into the axilla). Dr. Pousti, at Pousti Plastic Surgery, has corrected these problems for many patients.
Symmastia (or medial mal-position or “uni-boob”) occurs when the breast implants move too far toward the midline–the two implants may actually touch one another in the center of the chest. If the horizontal muscle that is connected to the sternum and goes across the implant is cut during surgery, then the implant can move toward the middle of the chest. Symmastia may result from overly aggressive attempts to alter chest wall anatomy trying to increase cleavage for patients. This outcome is made worse by use of larger implants in thin patients, and is a problem for implants over or under the muscle, though sub muscular implant placement allows the muscle to provide some softening of the transition to the cleavage area from the augmented breast mound. Correction involves use of internal sutures of the capsule around the breast implants. Often, it is necessary to expand the breast implant pocket laterally (outwardly) to allow for correct placement of the implants.

Specific dressings and bra are used to reinforce the repair. The bra that is worn after symmastia repair is referred to as the “thong bra”. It is used to stabilize the area after symmastia reconstruction. This will allow the sutured area between the breasts to heal properly without excessive pressure being applied to the area.

Bottoming out involves inferior migration of the implants. This causes the nipple areola complex to appear too high on the breasts. Also, the distance from the areola to the inframammary fold is too great. This is corrected by “raising” the inframammary fold using internal sutures. This is done after careful measurements are made from the areola to the “new” inframammary fold.

Some patients present to our office with a desire to increase the fullness of the inferior pole of the breasts. The distance from the areola to the “new inframammary fold” is increased using gentle dissection. Use of an implant can help increase the fullness of the lower poles of the breasts. This is done routinely for patients with constricted or tuberous breasts. Tuberous Breasts have a very narrow base and usually a long skin envelope. Sometimes people refer to “Tuberous Breast” shape as the shape similar to “snoopy’s nose”. In the most severe cases of Tuberous Breast, a breast lift can be done through an incision around the areola, making the breast into a more rounded shape that the patient will be happy with. In many cases however, a lift is not necessary. The patient should be aware that the final result will take months to see and that they will need to be patient.

Some post operative breast augmentation patients present with lateral (outwardly) displacement of the breast implants. This can be corrected using an internal suture technique decreasing the size of the pockets and moving the implants toward the midline.
