Breast Augmentation – From implants to natural breast enhancements
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures among women who seek to enhance or restore the appearance of their breasts in the healthiest way. The biggest impact of the rise in demand for breast augmentation is mainly to be blamed on the celebrities who seem to always have just the right amount of fat needed to look just almost perfect. However a study conducted by the BAAPS in 2015 shows that the desire for model-inspired boob jobs seem to be washing away as Brits are settling for a more natural and subtle enhancement.
The cosmetic surgery industry continues to advance thanks to the constantly changing trends worldwide, more so today than ever. Plastic surgeons are now offering a ‘natural boob job’ being referred to as the Brazilian Breast Lift similar to an already popular procedure called the Brazilian Butt Lift, both involving transfer of fat from one area of the body to the desired area. This natural way not only adds volume and shape to the breasts but also helps avoid the risks that breast implants carry.
“Many people who come to us for breast augmentation either are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts or just wish to restore the way they looked prior to body-changing experiences like pregnancy and weight-loss”, states Dr Tillo from Centre for Surgery, a cosmetic surgery clinic based in London. “For some women it is the appealing advantage of removing unwanted fat from another body area and gaining it naturally in the area where they wished it was.” Unfortunately, not everyone wanting that natural boost is suitable to be a candidate. “We have had to refuse the procedure to many people simply because they do not have enough fat in their body to be transferred”, says Dr Tillo. “To those people we can only offer alternatives such as breast implant and breast lift.”
Another reason people may get refused to be operated on is their unrealistic expectation of the result they are able to achieve from the procedure. The limitation of the Brazilian Breast Lift is that the individual can expect an increase of only up to one full cup size as there is a possibility of percentage of the fat cells being absorbed naturally by the body. “It is not possible to save the whole 100% of the fat graft during natural fat transfer on the breasts or the butt but with our expertise we have implemented techniques that give a higher chance of successful fat harvest. For instance, suctioning out the fat with Lipomatic imposes less pressure on the area which helps avoid disruption and killing of the fat cells. With the Lipomatic technique used at Centre for Surgery, the surgeon is able to increase the amount of fat cells to be harvested and if done correctly could even help the individual achieve permanent fat grafts.
Considering the changing trends in Britain influenced by celebrities like Katie Price who got rid of her implants that is making women want more subtle results, natural breast augmentation will remain on a rise.

The biggest reason why you shouldn’t use tap water
Naegleria fowleri biologically belongs to kingdom Protista, also known as the brain-eating amoeba. is commonly found as an amoeba or as a free flagellum in warm lakes, hot springs as well as in fresh water reservoirs such as rivers, ponds and unchlorinated swimming pools. Since Naegleria fowleri is a heat tolerant (thermophilic) protist, it thrives during summer when temperatures are high. The organism gains access to the human brain through the nostrils while washing face, swimming or performing ritual ablution and even while drinking water. It then pierces the cribriform plate to enter central nervous system where it causes granulomatous inflammation leading to primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. Here’s when Unilever Pureit comes into play.
How does it affect you?
Karachi being a subtropical region, predominantly has a warm climate which provides a favorable ecological niche for this organism to occupy. The first case of Naegleria fowleri was reported in Pakistan in 2008. Since then maximum number of reported cases have been from Karachi and its ever increasing occurrence rate over the years is making it particularly worrisome
Ablution is an integral and indispensable religious rite or ritual performed by Muslims, before praying. It includes nasal irrigation with water. Most patients in Karachi acquired this disease while performing ‘wuzu’ (nasal irrigation) with tap water, contaminated with the amoeba. This seems to be the most significant route of transmission. Global warming, which has raised the temperatures of water has also contributed to the increase in the number of cases of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. You can also use water from Pureit Intella to perform ablution.
How does safe water and chlorination solve this problem?
This precarious organism is found to be associated with poorly chlorinated water; chlorination is the only trusted defense mechanism that the country can count on to protect against the brain-eating amoeba. According to the World Health Organization, for effective chlorine disinfection there should be a residual concentration of free chlorine equal or greater than 0.5 mg/L, after at least 30 minutes contact time (at 20°C) at pH less than 8.0. This level should be maintained throughout the distribution system. Pureit intella destroys these germs and you don’t have to worry about Naegleria Fowleria.
The significance and enormity of this amoebic infection can be explained in terms of its alarming mortality rate. Pakistan is a Muslim country, where the majority of the people practice nasal irrigation as part of ablution and necessary measures for the proper sanitation and chlorination of water are not taken. It is likely that cases of Naegleria fowleri infections will continue to peak. Public awareness regarding this disease, along with proper treatment of water, either by chlorination or boiling, should be carried out to ensure that the risk of infection declines, else cases of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis will continue to rise in Pakistan.
Environmental toxins and chemicals have made our apparently safe tap water extremely dangerous. This is why thousands of people all across the globe our using Unilever Pureit Intella and Unilever Pureit.
