Why would my skin doctor give me an ophthalmic ointment which is commonly used on dogs for my zits?

Plastic Surgeon — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:13:36 +0000

Here’s the thing…
Whenever i have a huge breakout (due to a hormonal imbalance), i would go to this dermatologist in an aesthetic clinic (where they provide services like chemical peeling, botox, liposuction, collagen boost, etc) to laser on my huge zit. So every time after the doctor "laser" on my zit, his assistant would apply on a cream/ointment and also give some of it to me as a two day supply to be applied on the lasered zits, supposedly somekind of antibiotic/antiseptic cream i guess? So this time they gave it to me in its original packaging.
It’s called "Terramycin": Ophthalmic Ointment. (by Pfizer)
I felt weird that i have to use an ophthalmic ointment for my skin, so just now i googled on "terramycin ophthalmic ointment". I was so surprised to see that all the search results conveys that this ophthalmic ointment is normally used on dogs. Even all the websites that shows up are all vet and pet websites.
I don’t think this make sense at all. Can someone perhaps with a medical background or experience in this matter enlighten me with a convincing answer please?

What if it was considered attractive in the U.S. to be overweight?

Plastic Surgeon — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:39:24 +0000

I know that Americans are already fat and that in some cultures it is good to be a little bigger, but what would the U.S. be like today if being heavy had always been considered more attractive? What would Barbie dolls look like? What kinds of businesses would replace Weight Watchers, liposuction clinics, and the gym? Would McDonald’s Big Macs be considered "health food"? What do you think?

Thinking about having liposuction on my thighs..anybody care to share their results or thoughts if lipo is ok?

Plastic Surgeon — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:37:26 +0000

Okay..just inquiring on the whole lipo thing..but I came across a website while on my research..it’s called "without lipo"..it claims to have the same effect as lipo…they send you "applicators" with herbal ingredients in them..you apply it to the area..and "voila"..you melt the fat. The catch is you drink 64 oz. of water..to flush the melted fat from your system…The results are supposedly permanent…(and only cost $49 for one applicator) JUST curious if anybody tried this instead of surgical liposuction…the whole surgery complications things scares me….

Taking Adderall to lose weight?

Plastic Surgeon — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:23:51 +0000

Because i’ve tried everything but liposuction. I know friends who have been on Adderall, and lost weight quickly. And i also would love to focus a little more at work, seeing as my boss is always telling me how forgetful i am *rolls eyes*
I know people will say its the improper way to go, and i’ve read about the side effects. Building up a tolerance after a while, but if you skip a couple days, it’s more effective.
And about gaining back the weight… I weigh 180 now. and i’ll be 21 years old in June. Basically I dont even like going out in public anymore. Couldnt I just lose the weight, and manage keeping it off? I know i’ll get a few "NOT A GOOD IDEA!"s but im really really seeking weight loss help, quickly. =(

Plastic surgery opinions - URGENT thank you.?

Plastic Surgeon — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:23:50 +0000

I am doing a poll and have a question -
Do you think plastic surgery such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction and weight loss procedures such as a gastic band, should be available on the NHS?

Please state why.

Thank you.

fatcells won’t dissapear when you lose weight?

Plastic Surgeon — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:23:50 +0000

Many believe that you are born with a normal amount of fatcells that stores fat.
If you grew obese during puberty, your body will make more fatcells to store fat.
These are facts I read somewhere awhile ago.

But what I also read, in contrary to what many believe, is that the fatcells WON’T dissapear (your body won’t absorb the exess fatcells that arent used) when you lose the weight/fat.

Is this true?
If yes, is there really nothing you can do about this?
(Besides Liposuction)

I put this in science/math/medicine, cuz most dietists dont know sh…. ( i really mean that)
There is no other field that has so much controverse omongst
specialists than anywhere else (me thinks)

Cosmetic Surgery?

Plastic Surgeon — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:23:50 +0000

Has anyone ever had any plastic/cosmetic surgery they can give advice on? In particular, tummy tuck, liposuction, and/or breast implants. Stories of the experience (the surgery itself, the doctor, the procedure, after/healing, after/done healing) would be great!

is it safe to smoke weed while recovering from surgery with anesthia..?

Plastic Surgeon — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:57:10 +0000

im considering having some liposuction and thinking about my recovery time. I dont plan on taking too many pain-killers because I think they’re disgusting. I do, however, plan on smoking weed. Is that safe while recovering from surgery with anesthia…

Please spare me of ur personal views on marajuana. Im not interested. Smoking does not make me paranoid so my heart doesnt race if that matters at all…
