Health Tip: Breast Reduction Surgery
While breast reduction surgery can solve some physical problems and issues with a woman's self-esteem, it's not the best option for everyone.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the best candidates for this surgery are women who:
* Have physical pain or discomfort caused by their breasts, particularly back or neck pain.
* Are not just looking for cosmetic enhancements or improvements.
* Have restricted physical activity because of the size of their breasts.
* Have fully developed breasts.
* Do not plan to breast-feed.
* Are mature enough to understand the surgery and have realistic expectations of its aftermath.
Health Tip: Brightening Your Pearly Whites
There are plenty of ways to whiten your teeth, using at-home kits or having them professionally brightened.
Here are things to keep in mind when considering a tooth whitening procedure, according to the American Dental Association:
* Teeth that have naturally turned a yellowish color usually respond well to tooth bleaching.
* Teeth that have discolored to a brownish or gray shade may not respond very well to bleaching.
* If you have bonding or tooth-colored fillings, they probably won't bleach well, and will stand out after your natural teeth are whitened.
* Porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be good options for people with dental work that doesn't bleach well.
