The Rectus Abdominus muscles pass from the ribs and breastbone to the pubic bones. A ligamentous band called the Linea Alba holds the Recti together. This band softens and stretches as the abdomen enlarges during pregnancy and the muscle moves apart. This separation is called a Divarication. If it does not resolve spontaneously then surgical correction can be preformed.
Types of spots
- blackheads – they’re not filled with dirt, but are black because the inner lining of the hair follicle produces colour
- whiteheads – will not empty when squeezed
- papules – small red bumps
- pustules – similar to papules, but have a white tip
- nodules – large hard lumps that build up beneath the surface of the skin and can be painful
- cysts – the most severe type of spot caused by acne; they’re large pus-filled lumps and carry the greatest risk of causing permanent scarring

After pregnancy naturally the breasts fill with milk. If the woman does not breast feed the stimulus to produce more milk ceases and the breasts deflate. The same happens after breast feeding weaning of the baby. This loss of volume and excess skin causes emptiness of the breasts.
Heavy brows can be natural or can be due general ageing. Normally women have their brows above what is called the orbital rim, while men have theirs on the rim itself.
Burn scars following a burn injury or skin graft can be improved through non-surgical and surgical methods. The use of advanced technologies like artificial skins like Integra or lasers to resurface or break down the scars have revolutionised burn scar management.

A double chin is the presence of fat in what is called the submetal area of the face and neck area. It could be congenital or hereditary or due to excess in body fat in that area.
A split earlobe is caused by a traumatic damage to the skin of the earlobe through long time traction of heavy earrings or accidental pull of an earring. It can be repaired using plastic surgery techniques.
Heaviness of the upper euelid could be due to low brows or excess skin in the upper eyelid causing hooding, or due to lacrimal gland herniation. Rarely ptosis of the upper eyelid can mask as a heavy eyelid.

Lipodystrophy is a medical condition related to the abnormal fat distribution in the body. It can be inherited or acquired.
Lipomas are fatty lumps normally under the skin. They are distinct from the general fat pattern of the body. Most of the time no real cause is found for them to develop, however there are medical conditions that can predispose to their formation.
Gynaecomastia affects nearly a third of men in their life time. There are physiological and pathological causes. It is essential that a medical doctor takes a full history and performs a full relevant examination before having any treatment.

The Mons Pubis is the area of fatty tissue that overlies the pubic bone area in the hair bearing part and above that. It is sometimes prone to being more prominent by comparison to the rest of the area.
Nipple inversion normally does not lead to function changes in relation to breast feeding. It is normally graded into 3 grades depending on the response of the nipple to stimulus. Mechanical methods can be tried but are usually unsuccessful in the long term. A careful history and examination is needed to exclude organic causes.
Nasal deformity can lead to aesthetic and functional changes in the nose needing surgical or non-surgical correction. For purely aesthetic deformities sometimes non-surgical options like fillers work. For the rest surgery is needed.
Pigmentation problems cover a wide host of conditions and causes. Many depend on skin type below and on life styles and sun damage.

Having pores is normal, but what most people do not like are open pores. We need to appreciate though that open pores are just your body’s response to deal with the secretions like sebum. Controlling your skin will help with the pores. Closing your pores artificially can lead to other problems like acne.
Post pregnancy changes to your body can last much longer than expected. Some of these changes you might like, some you might want to improve on.

Prominent ears can be due to two things, a lack of an anti-helical fold, or a deep conchal bowl. Both of these can be corrected by surgery.
Facial red veins is a broad term for many underlying conditions. Some of these can be congenital like haemangiomas or acquired due to sun damage, trauma, rosacea or acne. The best treatment is laser treatment, however for some peels might be appropriate.
A seborrheic keratosis is a common noncancerous skin growth. People tend to get more of them as they get older. Usually brown or black, the growths look waxy, scaly and raised.
Skin cancer is one of the commonest cancers in the world. There are 3 main types of skin cancers: BCC, SCC or melanoma. They are very different from each other. If you have any mole that has changed, or any part of the skin that has unhealed consult a doctor now.
Skin excess occurs when we lose weight quicker than the body had time to adjust. If you planning on losing weight lose it slowly. This allows the collagen to adjust and retract.
Skin rejuvenation is the process of restoring the skin to its best. This can be through the effective use of good cosmetic creams and toners, to non-surgical interventions and finally to surgery.

Women who have breast hyperplasia or small breast, the breasts hardly develop. Poland’s syndrome is one of causes. Small breasts or even absent breast development can sometimes be caused by underling genetic conditions.
Stretch marks, also known as Striae, are a form of scarring. They are caused by tearing of the dermis during periods of rapid growth of the body, such as during puberty or pregnancy. In theory they should improve on their own but often they don’t.
photoaging is essentially what sun damage is. UV radiation affects how our collagen is made and it’s quality. It also affects how we make pigments. Without adequate skin care , conditions like actinic keratoses, a pre-cancerousskin growth, develops. Sun damage can also lead to skin cancer.
