Why Is Skin Cancer An Arizona Epidemic? By: Why is Skin Cancer an Arizona Epidemic?
Arizona ranks in the world for skin cancer. This year more than 1 million people will be diagnosed with skin cancer in the United States.
According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizona is ranked #2 in the world, just behind the gold coast of Australia, for skin cancer.
Unfortunately, this year alone, one million people will be diagnosed with skin cancer in the United States, alone!
Living in Arizona it is important to be aware of the two types of sun rays that penetrate through the earth抯 atmosphere: UVA and UVB.
The UVA rays are mainly aging rays that cause damage to DNA and collagen cells; while, harming the dermis. The UVB rays are mainly burning rays that stay in the epidermis, or superficial layers. UVB rays cause your melanocytes to produce melanin (tanning capabilities) and can cause a burn, which can lead to the beginning stages of skin cancer.
In our sunny desert climate, the most important hours of the day to use sunscreen is between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Even on a rare, cloudy day the sun抯 ultraviolet rays penetrate through the clouds, causing your skin to burn.
Those who burn easily are at a greater risk of developing skin cancer. Certain characteristics can make you more susceptible such as: blue eyes, red or blond hair, or if you are prone to freckles and/or have light skin.
--
There is one easy way to protect yourself and prevent damage to your skin: using an FDA approved sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays like the Anthelios line from La Roche-Posay.
The Anthelios sunscreen holds the patent technology of three sun filters: Octocrylene, Parsol 1789, and Mexoryl SX. The Anthelios sunscreen gives you complete broad-spectrum protection.
Don’t become a statistic because you forgot to use your sunscreen. To learn more about skin cancer please visit us online at http://www.nvpsaz.com/skin/skin-cancer.

Rhinoplasty, A Complex Operation Simplified By: delilarjpaulus
Summary: Rhinoplasty is the most difficult and challenging operation in all of cosmetic surgery. The anatomy of the nose is complex and varies greatly on an individual basis. Much of rhinoplasty is done under the cover of the skin, and the operating surgeon must understand how the changes made in the underlying structures will look when the skin shrinks down upon them.
Rhinoplasty is the most difficult and challenging operation in all of cosmetic surgery. The anatomy of the nose is complex and varies greatly on an individual basis. Much of rhinoplasty is done under the cover of the skin, and the operating surgeon must understand how the changes made in the underlying structures will look when the skin shrinks down upon them.
The internal anatomy of the nose consists of a pair of comma shaped tip cartilages, one on each side, a pair of upper cartilages, and a pair of bones at the top. The nasal septum, which divides the nose down the middle is made of both bone and cartilage. The soft tissues of the nose may be thick or thin. The width of the nostrils is determined by soft tissue. With the exception of the nostril width, the soft tissues cannot be changed, and must be allowed to shrink down onto the bony and cartilaginous skeleton which is revised during rhinoplasty.
A lengthy pre operative consultation is required between the surgeon and the patient in order to determine to what degree the patient desires for a change in the appearance of the nose can be accomplished by the surgery. The operation generally requires two to three hours to complete. The patient is most often under a general anesthetic (asleep) administered by an anesthetist, so that the patient is not aware of what goes on during the procedure. Many rhinoplasties are done through an open tip incision across the base of the nose, which allows the tip cartilages to be exposed and modified. Some rhinoplasties are done with no external incisions, by the so called closed technique, and changes are made in the bones and cartilages from the inside.
Nasal tips may be excessively round (bulbous) or wide. Some tip cartilage may need to be removed from each side, or the two tip cartilages may need to be sewn together in the middle to narrow the tip. The profile of the nose may be too high or there may be a ump?over the top of the nose. The height is reduced and/or the hump is removed by sliding a chisel along it or by using various filing devices called rasps. Some noses are excessively wide, which is corrected by a controlled racture?along the junction of the sides of the nose with the cheeks. If the nostrils are too wide, a small wedge is removed from the base of each, and sutures are placed to close the gap. If the nose or the nasal septum is deviated, this can be corrected by removing the deviated portion of cartilage, and/or sculpting the septal cartilage back into the midline.
When the surgery is complete, a molded splint is placed on the nose for a week. When the splint is removed, the change is the profile is generally noticeable, but swelling on the front view persists for several weeks, and a little bit of it lasts several months. One must be careful not to bump the nose for about a month.
Even the most experienced surgeon occasionally has to go back and ouch up?a rhinoplasty surgery, if things do not settle as expected. Secondary rhinoplasties are usually done in the operating room, but under local anesthesia, and take just a short time to accomplish.
Most patients experience a major improvement in their appearance, and also in their self esteem. For more information on Rhinoplasty please visit us online at http://www.nvpsaz.com/face/rhinoplasty-nose.
