The surgery can repair a drooping upper eyelid and a "puffy" lower eyelid, which can make you appear tired or older than you actually are, they can also interrupt with your visual fields. You must know that this operation will not repair the wrinkles on the sides of the eyes, skin pigmentation around the eyes and fallen eyebrows. Eyelid surgery can be combined with face-lift, brow lift and forehead lift.

After the incision is made the surgeon will separate the skin from the fat and muscles beneath it, remove and extra tissue and put a gentle sutures. In case there is no extra skin present the surgeon will make and excision inside the eye so it won't be seen from the outside.

  • Australia Geography

    Australia is the world's smallest continent but sixth-largest country; it's slightly smaller than the 48 contiguous United States. The highly urbanised population is heavily concentrated along the eastern and south-eastern coasts. Australia is bordered on the northwest, west, and southwest by the Indian Ocean, and on the east by the South Pacific Ocean. The Tasman Sea lies to the southeast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies to the northeast. Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Indonesia are Australia's northern neighbors, separated from Australia by the Arafura Sea and the Timor Sea.

    Australia is mostly arid and semi-arid: the center is desert and much agricultural land is poor quality by the standards of continents with richer soil. The south east is temperate and the north tropical. Australia was massively deforested for agricultural purposes: forest areas survive in extensive national parks and some other areas. Australia is prone to severe drought and water restrictions are currently in place in some areas, however these shouldn't affect travellers as they mostly relate to watering gardens and washing cars.


  • Australia Customs and quarantine

    Australia has a very strict customs requirement when it comes to animal and vegetable imports including wood, and other prohibited goods. This is because Australia is a large and isolated island, and thus far free of many diseases and insect pests found in other countries. All incoming visitors must pass a customs check for these items. No fruits, vegetables, meat or other food products are allowed in unless they are factory-made and on the approved list of imports (for example, chocolate is acceptable).

    There is no penalty for declaring most goods that are prohibited from import - they'll just be confiscated and destroyed or held in quarantine - but if you attempt to bring them in without declaring them, there are extremely heavy penalties including fines (in the order of thousands of dollars) and a possible jail term. It is far safer to declare any items that only might be prohibited, if they are not then you will suffer no consequence.

    The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service website [1] has more details.

Plastic Surgery News...

  • More elderly adults are lighting up cigarettes and not reporting their nicotine habits to doctors and others, according to findings from one of the first studies to examine the accuracy of self-reported smoking habits by age, race and gender of adults 18 years and older by researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine and other university collaborators.
  • An article in the April 2008 issue of ‘Drug Safety Update’ discusses the risk of carbamazepine-associated Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), which is estimated to occur in approximately one to six cases per 10 000 new users in the USA and Europe. The occurrence of this side-effect has been found to be strongly associated with presence of the HLA-B*1502 allele in individuals of Han Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese, or Thai origin. Such individuals should therefore be screened for this allele prior to commencing treatment with carbamazepine and if positive should only initiate therapy if the benefits clearly outweigh the risks of SJS. Data are not available to determine whether the same risk applies to other Asian populations, and whether the presence of this allele is associated with an increased SJS in users of other aromatic anticonvulsants (i.e. oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, or phenobarbitone).
