New Cosmetic Procedures
As increasing numbers of men and women seek surgical and non-surgical cosmetic enhancement, the public is becoming ever more demanding in its quest for rejuvenation of the body and face. No longer content to settle for smoother faces and perkier breasts, body-conscious individuals are now wanting younger hands, arms and even voices to complete the entire image.
Here are a few of the latest procedures which are now available, or will soon be available, to the public.
Hand Lift: For years we’ve known that the hands age more quickly than most of the body, giving away our secrets when facelifts have helped us take years off out facial appearances. Hand rejuvenation involves fat being extracted from othe regions such as the abdomen and injected into the hands to ‘plump up’ the skin and fill in depressions. The initial results should last from 7 to 10 years after which the procedure may be repeated.
Voice lift: Also known as voice modification surgery, this procedure is not as new as you may suppose, but it is not yet very well known. When a patient is unhappy with the quality or timbre of their voice, or needs a younger-sounding, clearer voice for their profession, they may consider this option. The vocal chords are literally lifted, but the results are not guaranteed to satisy 100% as the surgeon is unable to hear the voice while perforimg the surgery under general anasthaetic. It is therefore rather a risky procedure at this point in time. It can however offer help for patients who have had their vocal chords damaged in the past.
Brachioplasty: This is an ‘arm lift’ where excess skin and fatty deposits are removed from the arms. The procedure is especially helpful for patients who have lost large amounts of weight, as well as for older patients who find the skin sagging as elasticity is lost through the aging process.
Underarm Botox: By paralysing the muscles in the armpit region, Botox can help people who suffer from excessive persiration. The Botox stops the release of chemicals which stimulate the body to sweat. As with other Botox treatments, this procedure needs to be done regularly as the effect is not of a permanent nature.
Who knows what miracle modern medicine will come up with next? One thing is sure, for those of us who like to look as good and as young as we feel, this is certainly a great era in which to be alive!

How do people get cosmetic procedures covered by Tricare?
My husband is in the army and after having our two little girls, I would like to have a tummy tuck. I have Yahoo Answered the topic and most people have answered that you can be covered by Tricare if you have hadGastric Bypass.
I grew up Military and know for a FACT that women had breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and other cosmetic procedures covered by Tricare.
Does anyone know what the loophole is? Please only those who has or knows someone who has had Tricare covered cosmetic procedures.
I was in the Air Force for 8 years and worked in surgery. If I remember correctly, it has to be tied to a mental health issue. What I mean by that is that I know of active duty females that had breast augmentation due to the fact that they had "mental health issues" associated with having small breasts. I know it sounds silly, and a huge waste of tax dollars, but that is how it went down. I’m sure if you looked into it you could work a similar type of deal.
