Article: Breast Enlargement Implant Dangers
3% suffer leakage within three years causing a deflated implant
Occasionally, breast implants may break or leak. The saline fill is salt water and will be absorbed by the body without ill effects. Older implants with silicone gel can leak also. If this occurs, one of two things may occur. If breakage of the implant shell that has a contracture scar around it, then it may not feel like anything has happed. If the shell breaks and there is not a contracture scar, then leakage into the surrounding tissue results in a sensation that the implant is deflating.
The leaking gel may collect in the breast and a new scar may form around it. In other cases gel can migrate through the lymphatic system to another area of the body. Breaks may require a second operation and replacement of the leaking implant. If the gel has migrated it may not be possible to remove all of the silicone gel. This silicone gel is the what some say is related to the initiation of connective tissue disorders.
One study they reviewed showed that 63.6% of breast implants which had been in place for between one and 25 years had ruptured or were leaking. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/33450.stm)
For silicone gel and saline-filled implants, some causes of rupture or deflation include : damage by surgical instruments during surgery, overfilling or underfilling of the implant with saline solution (specific only to saline-filled breast implants), capsular contracture ,closed capsulotomy , stresses such as trauma or intense physical manipulation ,excessive compression during mammographic imaging, placement through umbilical incision ,site injury to the breast, normal aging of the implant ,unknown/unexplained reasons.
All surgery for breast implants, whether silicone gel or saline, has risks. These include the risk of infection, hematoma (blood or tissue fluid collecting around an implant), the risk that one or both of the implants will have to be removed (requiring additional surgery), and the potential costs of repeated surgeries if the implants are replaced.
The more than one million women who have breast implants are, without their realizing it, part of a natural "study" to learn what the risks are. Women deserve to be told what is known, and what is not known, before they make this decision. And, if a woman with implants complains of symptoms, she needs to find a plastic surgeon who has a reputation for helping women with implant problems.

Title: Useful information on Ear Surgery
Author: LookingYourbest
Article: Ear surgery or otoplasty is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. Ears are almost fully grown by age four, so the operation is done on children between ages of four and fourteen. Ear surgery is also possible in adults with fewer risks. You have to be clear about what and how you want your ear to be when you talk to the doctor.
Risks involved:
*When a qualified and experienced surgeon performs the ear surgery, the complications and risks involved are usually minor. *Patients may develop a blood clot on the ear. It can dissolve naturally or drawn out with a needle. *Patient may develop an infection in the cartilage, which can cause sear tissue to form.
Planning for surgery: The surgeon will evaluate the patient's condition and recommend the most effective technique specific instructions will be given on how to prepare for the surgery. If the child is young, the surgery is performed on general anesthesia, so the child will sleep through the operation. For older children or adults, the surgery may be performed by using local anesthesia combined with a sedative. The child will be awake and relaxed.
