In this post, we’ll discuss Rhinoplasty, and how it can help you reshape your nose. Let’s first understand what Rhinoplasty (also called Nose Surgery) is all about.
Definition –
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, which can shorten or lengthen your nose. It can, therefore, change the shape and contour of your nose; the procedure can also lift or define your tip.
The upper section of your nose is bone, and the lower section is cartilage. Your surgeon will work on bone, cartilage, or both so as to ensure the best results for you.
Put simply, Rhinoplasty can do the following for you:

• Shorten or lengthen your nose 
• Straighten the bridge of your nose 
• Reshape the tip of your nose 
• Change the angle between your nose and upper lip

So, what are the risks involved?

• Scarring 
• Swelling in and around the nose 
• Difficulty breathing 
• Recurring nosebleeds 
• Pain and discoloration

We suggest you to sit with your surgeon at Max Healthcare to understand all the risks involved so that you can make an informed decision.
Medical History, Physical Exam, and Photographs
Your medical history will be reviewed by the specialist; if you have blood disorders such as Hemophilia, you may not qualify as an ideal candidate for the Rhinoplasty surgery.
A physical examination will be carried out, which may involve inspecting your skin and the inside and outside of your nose.
Someone from the doctor’s office will take several photographs of your nose from different angels. These photos help in many ways, including before and after assessment, and reference during the nose reshaping procedure.

About Gastric Bypass Surgery:

GASTRIC BYPASS surgery is a weight loss surgery, and does two things: 1. it reduces your stomach’s size, 2. it creates a bypass so that your digestive system absorbs less nutrients.
Most of the bariatric surgeries are now done laparoscopically rather than using the traditional, long cuts. Laparoscope is a tiny, tubular instrument with a camera attached. The camera at the tip of laparoscope helps surgeons see and operate on your stomach.

How is Gastric Bypass Surgery Performed?
First things first, surgeons operate on your stomach, and drastically reduce its size. This surgery creates a new stomach, which is much smaller than the original one.
Second, they cut the small intestine, and sew parts of it directly onto the pouch (your surgically created stomach).
Whatever you eat and drink post-procedure goes into the pouch (newly created stomach) and then into the small intestine, bypassing a large part of your stomach and the first section of the small intestine. So, this way, you eat less and you absorb less. This is gastric bypass surgery.
Weight loss surgeries, like gastric bypass can provide long-term weight loss. The amount of weight you lose depends on many factors, including your type of surgery and your lifestyle habits post-surgery.
In addition to weight loss, gastric bypass surgery may improve or resolve conditions often related to being overweight, including:

• Heart Disease 
• High Blood Pressure 
• Stroke Gastroesophageal reflux disease 
• Severe sleep apnea 
• Type 2 diabetes

A weight loss surgery can also improve your ability to perform the daily activities of your life, which could help improve your quality of life.

If you have no idea about familial cancer, it is cancer that one is likely to inherit from one’s family. So, if one has a strong family history of cancer, the person is likely to get affected. Angelina Jolie too were worried about this inhering-cancer-from-family thing, and got herself tested.
Turned out, she was at a very high risk of developing breast as well as ovarian cancer (Ovarian cancer is a cancerous growth arising from the ovary. The ovary is an ovum-producing reproductive organ, often found in pairs as part of the vertebrate female reproductive system). Surgery was found to be the best thing that she could do to reduce her chances of developing cancer. So, she underwent double mastectomy, which refers to the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely; her chances of developing breast cancer have now dropped from 87% to under 5%.
In the New York Times op-ed where Jolie first spoke about her surgery, she talked about the “faulty” gene that can cause both breast and ovarian cancer. However, the genes are not to be blamed; in fact, these genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2) help stop cancers from developing. As a matter of fact, everyone has two copies of BRCA1 and BRCA2; it’s only when one of the copies has some sort of fault and doesn’t work, the person faces a high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.
Is there anything for you here?
If you’re worried about the risk of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer because of a family history of cancer, you should immediately discuss this with your doctor. He/she may refer you to a Familial Cancer Centre. Services that a Familial Cancer Centre offers typically include testing, medical advice, counseling, and support.
The specialists will go through your family history; based on the tests, you'll be given an estimate of your inherited risk of cancer. Follow-up and options for early detection and prevention will be discussed.
Your first appointment may last for an hour. You may need to visit the centre more than once.
At, Max Healthcare we’ve state-of-the-art facilities and best of doctors for familial cancer. Book an appointment now!

Gastric Bypass Surgery is very effective in inducing weight loss. It is both restrictive and mal-absorptive. It is restrictive in the sense that it restricts how much food the stomach can hold, and is mal-absorptive as it affects how much nutrients body absorbs. Surgery can be done laparoscopically (key-hole surgery) or through a larger open incision. Your doctor will decide which one is the best for you. However, more and more surgeons are using minimally invasive surgery these days. Remember, you’ll have to make some drastic changes to your lifestyle post procedure, and it’s better if you start inculcating some habits before surgery. So, here are 6 goals/habits that’ll help you make the most out of the Gastric Bypass Surgery.

1.Start Maintaining a Daily Food Record
Keep a watch on what goes inside, and write them down. This will give you an idea of how much calories you usually consume in a day.

2.Whole Grains, Vegetables, and Fruits
It’s time you start it! Include more and more of whole grains, vegetables, and fruits in your daily diet. Cut back on fast foods and other spicy foods.

3.It’s Time to Wean off of Sweets, Sodas, and Desserts
It’s not like you’ve to stop eating them; it’s like you’ve got to control how much you eat. Post-surgery, you’ll have to be very careful of eating sweets, sodas, desserts, and all sweetened beverages.

4.Protein is Your Best Friend
Introduce protein in your daily diet. Start eating protein rich foods at each meal. Also remember that high protein foods are the most important so have them before you consume any other food group (especially after the surgery).

5.Go Slow
Don’t drink liquids in one go; instead learn to sip them very slowly. Do this with your meals as well, which should ideally last for some 20 to 30 minutes. It’ll take you some days, but soon you’ll do it without any effort on your part.

6.Control Intake of Caffeinated and Carbonated Beverages
In order to get the most out of the gastric bypass surgery, you’ll have to learn to wean off of caffeinated and carbonated beverages; keep a watch on your consumption of alcoholic beverages as well.

Remember, surgery alone can’t do much for you; you’ll have to make the magic happen. Even after surgery, you’ll have to go for follow up sessions with your doctor and nutritionist so nothing comes in between you and your dream for a great body.

WEIGHT LOSS isn’t only for women; men are also looking for effective ways to lose weight. Go to any medical store, and you’ll see hundreds of products there – powder, pills, etc. - with muscular men and skinny women; all these products claim weight loss in 1 month, 2 month or at the most, 3 months. Many of us, having frustrated with continuously increasing weight, fall in the trap, and buy the pills or powders. Days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into months, but nothing happens, no weight loss. In fact, many end up with side-effects of the ‘so called weight loss product’. So, first things first, don’t fall for these products. WEIGHT LOSS is very much possible even in this modern society which seems to revolve around fast foods, hours of sittings in-front-of the computers, and at no exercises at all. Here are 6 SECRETS OF LOSING WEIGHT QUICKLY!

1.Eat More of Water-filled Foods
Eat more of water filled foods, such as Watermelons, Cucumbers, Watermelons, and Vegetable Soups. Consumption of these foods make you feel fuller on fewer calories.

2.Lunch Away from the Computer
It sounds strange, but it’s true. When it’s lunch time in your office, make sure you don’t lunch in-front-of your computer screen updating your status on Facebook, or playing the game that your colleague told you about an hour before. When you eat lunch undistracted, you’ve your attention on your food, and you feel fuller soon. Well, this is not the case when you lunch amidst distractions.

3.Use Power of Imagination to Eat Less
Well, you need not to take the path of spirituality for losing weight. All you’ve to do is imagine eating before you grab on your favourite dishes and desserts. So, what this imagination does to your weight loss plan? Well, it safeguards you against mindless eating. When you hold yourself for a minute, imagine eating the dessert lying before you, you somehow prepare yourself for the food, and eat sensibly.

4.Multivitamin Magic
When you’re low on vitamins and minerals, chances are your appetite will increase to replenish the nutrients the body is missing. Taking a multivitamin daily may keep the level of appetitive under control.

Last, but not the least, a dietician can help you a lot in your quest for a slim and trim body. So, fix an appointment with a qualified dietician in your city, and commit yourself for healthy lifestyle choices.
