Summer! And that means that after a hard working year, we can relax at last and have fun on the beach. But what if you can’t escape from the hustle and bustle of the city even in summer and have to spend most of the time in a stuffy office?

Anyway, it is not the reason for depriving yourself of swimming. It is a swimming season, after all! So, let’s try to spend as much time in the water as possible. Swimming is one of the most popular activities today, it’s good for your health and muscles, besides it is great fun.

And even if you stay in the city for this summer you can do swimming from time to time. First, you can leave the city at the weekends and have a good time on the nearest beach, or even easier – you can go to the local swimming pool.

But in this case you should take some precautions, because sometimes it can be dangerous. Although it has been taken some measures to improve the quality of water, still in the last years the number of outbreaks of illness associated with swimming has increased.

We should remember that swimming will not cause us any problems if we behave themselves properly in the water. The risk of catching a illness will decrease if we will follow some general rules that are known to everyone.

First, practice good hygiene – do not forget to take a show and wash your body before and after swimming.

Then, do not swallow the water and avoid getting water in your mouth.

And surely if you have any kind of catching illness, avoid swimming in public places, because you can spread germs and make other people sick.

Today millions of young and physically attractive women go under the knife to reach the artificially created standards of beauty. What is even worse is that many of them have no idea of possible consequences of such augmentations. Very often they get aware of them too late, when they face devastating results themselves.

The most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures on women in the United States are breast and buttock augmentations. In 2002, 236,888 women enlarged their bust. Every year this number is increasing, and I dare not even think how many young girls will do it in 2006.

Some women undergo cosmetic surgeries to balance body proportions, or to make lingerie fit better. Others see the augmentation as the only way to improve their sexual life, or increase their self-esteem. As I see it, that will hardly help one’s relationship, but it may definitely worsen one’s health. So I would think twice before putting myself under the knife.

Speaking about breast and buttock augmentation, there are at least several concerns: the surgery itself, the implants and “cosmetic surgery addiction”. Read below about the most common possible complications, and it is up to you to take a risk or not.

1. Surgery: the risk may include (but not limited to) infection, hematoma, excessive bleeding and the risk of anesthesia. Besides, any patient would hardly avoid a foreign body reaction to the implant (its degree depends on each individual).
2. Implants: the risk may include implant rupture (deflation or leakage), capsular contracture (on the picture - capsular contracture, 7 years after the surgery), changes in nipple or breast sensation, rippling, shifting of the implant, asymmetrical look, immune system disorder. If a saline implant ruptures, it will go flat, if silicone – the breast will have a distortion or an irregular contour. In addition, the implant may complicate mammogram readings and breast feed.

3. “Cosmetic surgery addiction”: the risk may also include the need for more surgery procedures because of body dysmorphic disorder, or implant rupture. It may lead to irreversible damage to the normal body structure. Besides, each procedure may prove too costly.

Although plastic surgeons insist that these are rare case, they occur much more often than you imagine, and even bigwigs of show business face a number of problems. Need proofs – visit http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/archives/006943.html.
