展现你的完美胸肌

Nastassia Mougin为你探讨让你轻易达至梦想六腹肌的手术!

整形美容的概念是协助你达至梦想的身形及外在,让你更具迷人的吸引力,特别是塑身。一些人每天不停锻炼数小时,但依然无法达至迷人的引人曲线。

自80年代初推介以来,抽脂已成为极有效及备受欢迎的美容手术,以消除碍眼的脂肪,因这些顽固脂肪并不会因良好饮食习惯及定期运动而有所改善。大肚腩、粗腰围、大屁股,这些皆可透过整形雕塑而展现迷人的线条。

随著高科技及完善的技术研发,如今整形的领域拥有不同的抽脂技术,如:膨胀吸脂术(Tumescent Liposuction)、湿抽脂术(Wet Liposuction)、超音波吸脂术(Ultrasonic Liposuction)、及VASER®定位抽脂术,这些手术采用不同方式分解脂肪,同时也存有各自的优点及缺点。
目前最受欢迎的抽脂术莫过于VASER®定位抽脂术(采用医学仪器VASER®系统),通过高频率之超声波能量针对脂肪组识部位,对症性溶解脂肪细胞(减少破坏其他组织,如神经线、血管和结缔组织),有效把储存于细胞的顽固脂肪溶解,并以负气压抽脂机将溶解脂肪温和吸走。

芭比娃娃与乳房

女人若少了乳房,就会感觉自己不那么有女人味了。Chan Li Jin 认为,造成这种影响的,不只是女人的外观这么简单。译:Textplayer

你是否知道每一秒钟,世界某个地方就卖出了两个芭比娃娃?
由 Ruth Handler 所创造的芭比娃娃算得上是完美女性躯体的楷模。而 Ruth 就是 Mattel 公司的联合创办人(以收入计算,Mattel 算是全世界最大的玩具公司)。但是你知道吗,她也是全世界第一个乳房假体(义乳)的发明人呢!

芭比娃娃的故事

Ruth Handler 的故事读起来就像发生在 50 年代,女人被解放之前的一个赤贫致富的故事。一个顽强与坚决的少女违抗父母的意愿,嫁给了她的童年情人 Eliot Handler,并开始经营卖玩具的小生意,比如备有家具的小屋等。
他们后来生了一个女儿,取名为 Barbara。Ruth 发现,比起模样像小女孩的纸娃娃,女儿会比较喜爱与成人女性相似的纸娃娃。Ruth 理解到,小女孩也一样会喜爱拥有成人女性模样的玩具娃娃,因此发明了以 36-18-38 为标准三围刻度的小型立体娃娃。

水刀抽脂

Anna Nielson 专访新加坡整形外科医生 Professor Walter Tan,畅谈水刀辅助抽脂术。

英国医药协会报告指出,今日在荧幕或杂志上亮相的模特儿和女演员,要比 50 年前的来得瘦削。
这并不意味着她们有模范的健康体态,相反的,这反映了一个赤裸裸的事实 ── 那些注重形像的人,一直都在想方设法改善他们的体形,并且非常关注自己的体重。
这现象举世皆然,在新加坡也越来越普遍。人们也开始进行各种风尚饮食,严律的运动,甚至寻求手术疗程,例如抽脂术,来雕塑完美的体形。
抽脂手术于 1974 年首次推出时,疗程并不像今天那样安全及优良。

Body Fillers

Want better curves without implants? Bervin Cheong fills you in on the use of body fillers for breast and buttock augmentation.

Such is life that some areas of the body can be sculpted and trimmed through good diet and exercise, but other areas need to be filled out for us to feel that we are perfect. The breasts and buttocks for example, are almost impossible to add volume to in this way, even with focused exercises.
