Canine Liposuction

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Canine liposuction. No, it isn’t some new type of liposuction technique. It’s liposuction…for your dog.

Countries such as Germany and Australia have been offering the cosmetic surgical procedure to our furry friends for years now. Although most of the recorded procedures have been performed on canines that had lyphomas (cancer of immune system cells) and fatty tumours, doctors do consider performing liposuction purely for those that are overweight.

Other cosmetic procedures that have been performed on dogs include those to improve and enhance the aesthetic appearance of the teeth and, interestingly, testicular implants.

Define Noncomedogenic

Noncomedogenic is a term that often appears on skin care products. Cleansers, moisturizers and even cosmetics may all have this word on their labels, but what’s it mean?

Noncomedogenic simply means that the product does not have ingredients such as oil, fatty acids or wax. The absence of such ingredients is typically considered beneficial for those who suffer from oily skin or acne breakouts because it doesn’t clog pores.

Noncomedogenic ingredients that facilitate the spreading of a product on the skin’s surface include water, panthenol, petrolatum and glycerin. Glominerals, a line of mineral based cosmetics available at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, contains noncomedogenic ingredients and is suitable for all skin types.

No amount of make up can make your nose look more narrow. It can definitely help, especially if it’s professionally done, but it often won’t achieve what you really want your nose to look like. That’s when rhinoplasty can help.

If you’re fed up with trying new and unique ways to make your nose look more narrow, go the tried and tested route instead. Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can create the desirable aesthetic that you’ve always wanted but could never have.

Rumors have it that even Pop Princess Fergie has had a nose job to reduce the width of her nose.

Most of us know that Laser Tattoo Removal can get rid of any tattoo you just can’t live with anymore.

But did you know that darker colours, such as black and dark blue, are actually more effectively removed by the Laser Tattoo Removal procedure? Although lighter colours like orange and yellow can also be removed, it may require more sessions to do so.

For a better understanding of how many sessions you’ll need for your tattoo, please book your complimentary consultation with our patient consultant. They’ll be able to give you an estimate.
