Does getting your ears pierced?
The only adverse effects I've seen are keloid scarring, and, of course, infection. Otherwise it is one of the simplest piercings out there. However, I cannot stress enough the importance of having it performed by a professional piercer in a reputable studio/shop. Guns, such as those used in Wal-Mart, Target, mall kiosks and the like are not sterile and can cause irreparable damage and thus, for your safety, should be avoided. Another effect, is actually having a pierced ear. ._.

In 1964, the Surgeon General's report announced medical research showing that smoking was a definite cause of cancers of the lung and larynx (voice box) in men and chronic bronchitis in both men and women. Later reports concluded that smoking causes a number of other diseases such as cancers of the bladder, esophagus, mouth and throat; cardiovascular diseases; and reproductive effects. Today's new report, The Health Consequences of Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General, expands the list of illness and conditions linked to smoking. The new illnesses and diseases are cataracts, pneumonia, acute myeloid leukemia, abdominal aortic aneurysm, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, cervical cancer, kidney cancer and periodontitis.

How long before pain goes away from full mouth teeth extraction?
I had a tooth extracted a month ago and still have inflammation in the gum and around the tooth next to what had been removed, he said it takes about two months to heal when I went back to the facial surgeon, he also said if it should still bother me after that to return and he would have to scrape the bone to smooth it down. Hope that helps.
All pain should be gone after a week.
Unless you have a dry socket, which occurs around four days after the tooth extraction and presents itself with a severe amount of pain. The pain can go away by itself, or the dentist can put a medication inside the extraction hole to make it heal more quickly.
[All pain should be gone after a week.] How long the pain lasts depends a lot on how old you are. At age 22, I had a bottom right wisdom tooth removed, and the pain was gone in three or four days. Earlier this month, at age 39, I had the bottom left wisdom tooth removed. 14 days later (today) I still feel like someone has been boxing with my while I wasn't looking. My oral surgeon says this is normal for older patients.
Get some CoQ10 (a vitamin supplement). CoQ10 works miracles helping mouth tissues to heal. Ideally, buy some 100Mg CoQ10 softgels and take four a day, spread out across the day. CoQ10 is found in cells throughout the body, but it is found in highest concentration in gum/mouth tissue cells. I take it 100Mg to 200Mg daily, but when I have any dental work planned I ramp-up the amount a couple of weeks in advance and continue until it has healed.
I learned about CoQ10 years ago, prior to having all four of my impacted wisdom teeth extracted. I took it prior to, and following their removal. When I went back to the dentist for a follow-up visit, the dentist remarked that he'd never seen anyone heal so quickly. I'm convinced the CoQ10 supplementation was responsible for my quick recovery.
My father had a very similar result - very quick healing following dental work and CoQ10 supplementation.
Should plastic surgery be banned?
Why shouldn't it? :)
Some people would need facial reconstruction, after an accident, for example.
Others, like myself, would need a part of the body repairing after a major operation. I have a tumour on my right hip and will need some form of plastic surgery to have it put right, afterwards.
It's not all nose and boob jobs!
Did lil' kim spend her money on surgery?
Apparently, many people speculate that Kim Kardashian has had cosmetic surgery. Most sources focus on her nose, and her posterior, pointing out that generally, Armenian women do not have such a petite and seemingly perfect schnoz. As for the back-end? It's possible it's god-given, but critics lean toward a little help from the doc.

How often are people denied organ transplsnts?
Its not usually a case of denial.
Its a case of need, and shortage.
Why do you feel violated after surgery?
I have heard that people do have more insight into their lives and how they live them after surgery where they have been anesthetized. It may be an effect of having "time out" rather than the drugs driving the transformation.
Is it true or false that arthroscopic surgery greatly reduces recovery time for patients?
Yes. This is because arthroscopic surgeries are less invasive; this leads to less incisions, less swelling and less impact on the body.
Will you be put to sleep during elective surgery?
Yes, you will be awake . In fact the American Society of Anesthesiology definition of Conscious Sedation states:
Moderate Sedation/Analgesia (Conscious Sedation) a drug-induced depression of consciousness during which patients respond purposefully* to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by light tactile stimulation. No interventions are required to maintain a patent airway, and spontaneous ventilation is adequate. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained.
The goal is to maintain that level of consciousness throughout the procedure, to reduce anxiety and noxious stimulation.
Hope this was helpful.

What food is bad for the gallbladder?
My gallbladder came out almost a year ago, and I haven't had to change my eating habits much at all, but I've heard that this can vary quite a bit from person to person, with some people being more sensitive than others. Your doctors should have told you that you may have trouble digesting fats, particularly dairy products. To get a little more specific (and graphic), I find that if I eat a lot of really greasy fried food, or a lot of greasy cheese, I'd better plan on sitting on the toilet for a while within an hour or two. So fried mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, ice cream, crab rangoons, extra greasy and cheesy pizza, spinach/artichoke dip, and funnel cakes are some good examples of things to avoid in large quantities. I still eat all these things, but just not very much in one sitting. I suppose if you don't mind having the runs all the time, you could go ahead and chow down on the fried cheese all you want. I've had multiple people tell me that lettuce goes right through them just like the fried foods, but this has never been a problem for me. I'd suspect it's more an issue with the high fat content of the salad dressing they're using, but people keep telling me it's the lettuce itself. It doesn't make any sense to me, but I hear it so often I thought I'd share. hope that helps!

What is positive about cosmetic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is a great confidence booster in most cases. When a perceived physical imperfection is holding someone back, such as sticky out ears or bags underneath the eyes, it can affect things such as personal relationships. In these circumstances cosmetic surgery can be life changing. People in such situations tend to feel they can move on and enjoy life more after surgery, without the embarrassment that this imperfection caused before. After cosmetic surgery many people take a new pride in their appearance and are driven to improve other aspects of their lives as a result of a positive surgery experience
