Breast Lift

A breast lift raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Sagging breasts result from poor skin tone, stretching of ligaments during pregnancy and breast-feeding, weight changes and the aging process. These conditions are correctable with the same basic operative procedure and thousands of women each year undergo successful surgical alteration of their breasts. Elevating the nipple to a more acceptable position creates a shapelier breast. Sometimes during uplift operations, a surgeon places a small implant to add extra support and shape to the breast. New techniques in plastic surgery aim to reduce the length of incisions and scars involved in breast lifts and reductions. In traditional techniques, doctors make incision lines around the areola, down the bottom center and horizontally under the breast and resulting in an "anchor scar." Modern methods limit the incisions to either just around the areola (small circular scar) or around the areola and down the center of the breast resulting in a "lollipop scar." Physicians close all incisions in multiple layers in order to minimize the widening of the scars.

Substance-related disorders

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision, also known as DSM-IV-TR, is a manual published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) that includes all currently recognized mental health disorders. The coding system utilized by the DSM-IV is designed to correspond with codes from the International Classification of Diseases, commonly referred to as the ICD. Since early versions of the DSM did not correlate with ICD codes and updates of the publications for the ICD and the DSM are not simultaneous, some distinctions in the coding systems may still be present. For this reason, it is recommended that users of these manuals consult the appropriate reference when accessing diagnostic codes.
