Breast Lift Procedure
A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position. Drooping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as aging. Frequently a breast implant may be used in conjunction with a breast lift in order to achieve better results. Depending on the amount of breast lifting that needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used that involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (and therefore the scar).

Athens By taxi
Taxis are relatively cheap in Athens. They are easy to come-by. Note that taxi meters in Athens have two rates - rate 1 applies from 5am till midnight, and rate 2, the double rate, from midnight to 5am. Taxi fare fraud is not as widespread as it used to be, but it still happens, so make sure the rate is correct. If you feel you have been overcharged, ask for a receipt (they are obliged to give one) and take the plate number, then phone the tourist police to report the driver on 171.

Athens By plane
Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport is situated 27 km (17 miles) east of the city center, near the suburb of Sp?ta. This well-appointed airport opened in 2001, raising the comfort levels of travelling to Athens and Greece by a phenomenal degree, for travellers arriving from 'Euro-zone' countries. This means that you are going to need euro coins if you want a trolley for your luggage; trolleys are available at the airport and they use coins the same way supermarket trolleys do. You insert your coin, and you get it back by placing the trolley back to its original position- so, be advised, and make sure you carry the correct currency.
Athens airport is a major hub in the Aegean, Balkan and East Mediterranean regions. Delta and Olympic maintain non-stop flights from North America, while a large number of European carriers fly direct into Athens.

Plastic Surgery News...
- The authors of this editorial discuss recent trials that have investigated the use of high dose statins in reducing lipid levels. They note that none of the studies involving high dose statins have used the “treat to target strategy”, (whereby the drug dose is titrated upwards), nor were they based on targets suggested by current guidelines. The studies either investigated a fixed dose of statin for the study duration or made minor adjustments. The editorialists write, “As doses of statins are increased the returns get smaller, whereas side effects continue to rise in a linear fashion. A more effective approach might be to modify several risk factors with a cocktail of various preventive drugs that do not need dose adjustments.” They suggest that current evidence supports prescribing statins at a standard dose without further testing or dose adjustment. The editorial concludes: “Despite the results of recent high dose statin trials, it is unclear whether possible benefit really translates into clinical practice. All we can say is that everyone at high risk of cardiovascular complications should be offered a standard dose of statin. Anyone with manifest disease would be eligible, irrespective of their initial cholesterol concentration. Only once we have achieved this should we think of further refinements.”
- Risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) include obesity, insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia, dyslipoproteinemia, and hypertension. These conditions can cluster together or occur in isolation, and are exaggerated by physical inactivity and smoking. Since each of these factors increases risk of CVD, the concept of global cardiometabolic risk (CMR) has been suggested.
Lipoprotein abnormalities, including elevated triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and increased numbers of small dense LDL particles, are common findings in patients with CMR. Although there are stringent lipid treatment goals for patients with type 2 diabetes or CVD, guidelines for treatment of dyslipoproteinemia in high-risk subjects without these conditions are less intense and are based primarily on LDL cholesterol concentrations, with non-HDL concentrations a secondary consideration in some subjects. Some have advocated that assessment of other lipoprotein parameters might be more helpful than assessment limited to LDL or non-HDL cholesterol in these populations. In addition, treatment targets and the best approach for CVD risk reduction in this population need to be better defined.
To address these issues, the American Diabetes Association and the American College of Cardiology Foundation convened a consensus development conference in July 2007 to examine lipoprotein management in patients with CMR. The resulting consensus position, addresses the following questions in relation to patients with CMR:
1. To what extent do lipoproteins contribute to CVD?
2. What are the clinically important lipoprotein parameters?
3. In the evaluation and treatment of patients with lipoprotein abnormalities, are there other factors that should be considered?
4. What are the principles and objectives of treatment of lipoprotein abnormalities?
5. What new information would help improve lipoprotein management?
