Body Proportion Surgeon

The body proportion surgeon improves the shape and tone of the body. Men and women try very hard to have the perfect body. The body proportion measurements for women start with the height. The surgeon measures the figure of a woman by her bust, waist and hips in inches or centimeters. The calculation of the weight and height of a patient determines the body mass index. Liposculpture is the most refined form of liposuction. While liposuction removes fat to improve body contour, liposculpture sculpts an already great body shape. Liposculpture accentuates curves, highlights muscles and even moves fat around to augment portions of the body. Using smaller cannulas, the procedure exacts more precise results than in liposuction. Liposculpture thereby sculpts a detailed six-pack, creates back dimples at the sacral area and even creates toned athletic thighs. Body contouring improves the shape and tone of underlying tissue, which supports fat and skin, and removes excess sagging fat and skin. Body contouring procedures remove excess skin. With the aging process, metabolism changes dramatically. Liposuction removes deposits of excess fat from specific areas of the body including the face, neck, arms, back, abdominal wall and thighs through small incisions. Liposuction procedures can remove a double chin, slim the tummy, hips and thighs, as well as shape the arms, calves and ankles. Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction and power-assisted liposuction are modern techniques. New liposuction instruments make the surgical removal of fat much more efficient. With great attention to detail and new techniques, achieving a beautiful body through liposculpture is an attainable goal.

Drugs, Pick Your Pleasure

People use drugs for a variety of reasons. Drugs can affect the brain with very different results. Psychoactive drugs affect the function of the brain resulting in changes of perception, mood, consciousness, cognition and behavior.
While medication is prescriptive, people also often use psychoactive substances recreationally or for advantage, due to an often-euphoric nature and the capacity of some substances to increase alertness.
There are three main categories of psychoactive drugs.

Stimulants

Stimulants, sometimes called uppers, act to rejuvenate, energize and to alert, without dramatically affecting perception. Examples of stimulants are: coffee, nicotine, amphetamines, cocaine and ecstasy, among others.

Depressants

Depressants, sometimes called downers, chill a person out, reduce anxiety and sedate the user. Depressants consist of sedatives, hypnotics and narcotics. Examples of depressants are alcohol, nitrous oxide, barbiturates, benzodiazepines and opioids.

Opioids

Common opioids are morphine, heroin, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone and methadone.
Hallucinogens consist of psychedelics, dissociative- and delirium-inducting substances. These drugs produce distinct subjective alterations of perception, sense of space and time, consciousness and mood. Examples of psychedelics are LSD, mushrooms and cannabis.

Pain Management

Most people use psychoactive drugs to manage pain. Analgesics or painkillers, act on the central nervous system and include NSAIDs, like aspirin, ibuprofen and the highly addictive class of opiate narcotics, such as morphine and oxycodone.
The desire and need to alter consciousness is not a recent phenomenon, and dates back to the advent of man. Archaeological evidence indicates that ancestors used plants as psychoactive substances almost ten thousand years ago. Many preindustrial cultures used psychoactive plants such as jimson, mescaline and psilocybin mushrooms for religious rituals.
Many animals also consume psychoactive plant. For example: cat ingesting catnip. Traditional myths contain references of animals introducing sacred plants to humans. The cultural use of psychoactive substances covers a vast historical landscape. Nevertheless, there may also be an evolutionary relationship between animals and psychoactive plants and the existence of these chemicals and receptors within the human nervous system.
