EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT PLASTIC SURGERY

BUT DIDN’T KNOW WHO TO ASK

With plastic surgery so mainstream the question today isn’t “did she or didn’t she?” but “what did she have done?” Botox, filler, liposuction, facelift, breast implants, are not just limited to celebrities as they once were. There isn’t a body or facial concern that can’t be addressed through some sort of procedure. With more and more plastic surgeons striving to educate people on cost, safety, recovery process, and long-term care; Dr. Stanley Poulos, San Francisco Bay area Board Certified Plastic Surgeon answers some of the most common and pressing cosmetic surgery questions today.

 

Q: Will liposuctioned fat return?

 

A: Dr. Poulos explains that, “If the patient gains a small amount of weight after their procedure, say 5 pounds, fat cells throughout the body will get a little bigger. While this slight weight gain can diminish results, the overall improved body shape provided by a liposuction procedure will still be visible as treated body areas have fewer fat cells (and thus experience a lower enlargement rate) compared to surrounding areas.”

 

Finally, in cases of considerable weight gain (i.e. 10% of their body weight); new fat cells can develop in all areas of the body, including treated areas. However, since new fat cell creation typically occurs in an even manner throughout the body, fat often accumulates less in treated areas compared to untreated areas. Many liposuction patients who gain considerable post-procedure weight tend to still look better than if they did not undergo liposuction.

 

Q. Will you lose sensation in your breasts or nipples if you get implants?

 

A: Dr. Poulos says that, “There's a chance, although it’s very unusual to lose feeling in your entire breast. About 5 percent of patients experience numbness in their nipples. This may occur if their nerves are cut or stretched during surgery.”

 

Q: How close do I need to be to my “ideal weight” in order to have the optimal result from liposuction?

 

A: Dr. Poulos stresses that, “The key thing to know about liposuction is that it is not intended to be a weight loss tool or method. It is simply to address the parts of the body that are not responding to diet and exercise. That said, the industry standard for liposuction is a candidate who is within at least 30% of their ideal weight and are of average body weight. Other things to consider for an optimal result are skin elasticity and muscle tone.”

 

Q: How long does a Botox treatment last?

 

A: According to Dr. Poulos, “One treatment may last 3-4 months, but may not result in a significant improvement of the wrinkles for the long term. One or two years of consistent Botox in the same area will result in long term reversal of some wrinkles and optimize the improvements you may be looking for.”

 

Dr. Poulos adds, “It is recommended to repeat Botox injections every 4 months for maintenance. As you continue to use Botox, deeper wrinkles will continue to soften as dermal remodeling takes place.”

 

 

Q: If a partner squeezes your implants too hard during sex, can they burst or alter shape?

 

A: Dr. Poulos reassures that, “It's impossible. He'd have to use superhuman force to rupture them. And they won't change shape.”

 

 

Q: Are there any non-invasive procedures that can sculpt my body, so I don’t have to get liposuction?

 

A: Yes! The most well-known non-invasive option is Coolsculpting. With this procedure fat cells are frozen in a way that does not damage other tissues and spot areas of excess fat can be sculpted. Still ,as with lipo one must have reasonable skin elasticity to achieve good results.  Another non -invasive option is the V-shape Accent Prime . This device combines radiofrequency (RF) for skin tightening and ultrasound for fat reduction in one treatment and can achieve significant improvement over time.

 

Q: How long do the results of a facelift last?

 

Dr. Poulos says that, “One thing is for certain and that is that the aging process goes on regardless of the technique. Eventually if one wishes to maintain the improvement, touch up procedures will be necessary. An average time might be 7-10 years. Those that address the deeper muscle layers do last longer, but there is more difference (in longevity) between individuals than techniques, and the same is true of time for recovery.”

 

Q: I lost over 50 pounds and now have excessive loose skin on my stomach, arms and inner thighs. What’s my best option and what’s involved?

 

A body lift is the most common option when addressing excessive skin after significant weight loss. It’s important to research this procedure and go about it in a way that makes sense given your overall health. Body lift offers a permanent result provided weight is kept the same. The thing to consider with a body lift is a high Body Mass Index and potential for abnormal scarring and fluid buildup. Be sure the surgeon shares all risks and benefits.

 

Q: Should I get saline or silicone breast implants?

here are two basic types of breast implants: saline and silicone gel.

 

Dr. Poulos says that, Most women feel that silicone implants feel more like natural breasts which is due to the viscosity of the filler material. Previous concerns about the association of auto immune disease with silicone have been largely disproven and the vast majority of plastic surgeons feel that silicone is a perfectly safe alternative.”

How Much Sugar Is Too Much?

 

For children, it depends on their age and their calorie intake, but as a general rule of thumb, 12-25 grams a day is just enough.

 

What Are the Signs of Too Much Sugar?

 

#1: Sugar High

 

A sugar high happens when there are extremely high levels of blood sugar, which results in high energy and shaking of the hands. The candy equivalent is three Butterfingers, which is 30 grams.

 

#2: Sugar Crash

 

A sugar crash usually happens within an hour, and glucose levels in the body will drop, causing energy to decline as well. During a crash, you’ll most likely be fatigued, hungry, and may also have a headache. To get rid of a crash, your child’s best bet is to eat an apple or banana.

 

#3: Your Child is Craving More

 

Sugary foods release dopamine, which is the same chemical released during drug use.  Once your child starts eating more sugary foods, such as those Halloween treats, the craving for more will continue.

 

When you eat a lot of sugar, your blood sugar levels rise, which causes the pancreas to produce insulin, a hormone that prompts cells to absorb blood sugar for energy and storage. When you have too much insulin, your blood sugar crashes, which makes you crave more sugar. So, if you cut back on sugary food, you won’t make a lot of insulin, and then you will stop craving the sugar.

 

Choose lower carb, lower glycemic foods, like berries, veggies, proteins, protein shakes, protein bars and yogurt. Pears are a great alternative, since it has almost 14 grams of sugar and reduces the risk of heart disease.

 

#4: Sleeping is Almost Impossible

 

Serotonin is released, which is our relaxation hormone, and is needed for a child to have a good night’s sleep. If insomnia issues arise, it’s time to reduce sugar intake.

FDA Clears New Surgeon Inspired 3D Printing Device for Lumbar Fusion

FDA Approved Medical Device for Spinal Fusion

Partnering with Pioneers in Spine Medicine

Dr. Samuel Joseph, Jr. worked alongside medical device firm Osseus Fusion Systems to develop the newly FDA approved 3D printed Aries titanium spinal implants. The approval marks one of the largest FDA clearances for a family of 3D printed spinal devices of that kind.

By partnering with pioneers in the medical industry such as Osseus, Dr. Joseph can offer his expertise as an exceptionally trained spine surgeon to help develop new products and procedures. Combining cutting-edge research with new technology Joseph Spine may offer spine patients new hope for a pain-free life.

Surgeon Inspired Spinal Implants

“As a surgeon, it’s very exciting to participate in the device development process and see your ideas brought to life so quickly,” commented Dr. Joseph, founder of Joseph Spine. “Using 3D printing, we were able to go from design to prototype, to finished product much faster than with traditional manufacturing—which means patients get access to more advanced treatments sooner, too.”

“Osseus is unique in our ability to bring surgeon-inspired implants to market quicker than any competitor, and our focus on R&D delivers unparalleled performance and quality to our surgeons and patients,” said Eric Hansen, Co-Founder, and CEO of Osseus. Osseus’ newly approved Aries family of lumbar interbody fusion devices is, the company says, one of the most comprehensive groups of 3D printed devices in the spinal and orthopedic industries. The family, comprising of Aries-TS, Aries-TC, Aries-A, Aries-L and Aries-O offer implant solutions for lateral (LLIF), anterior (ALIF), straight and curved transforaminal (TLIF) and oblique (OLIF) procedures.

Aries Titanium Spinal Implants

The 3D printed devices are constructed from a highly porous titanium metal which has been optimized for bone integration and fusion. The creation of the implants has been enabled largely by Osseus’ proprietary 3D printing platform, PL3XUS. Interestingly, the company says its titanium implants are some of the most porous spinal implants out there, with porosity rates of 80% or higher.

Lumbar-Fusion-3d-printing-DeviceThe 3D printed medical devices also integrate a proprietary mesh lattice which acts to reduce stiffness and to maximize bone graft packability. In other words, the mesh lattice structure is specifically designed to encourage bone cell fixation and proliferation, ultimately resulting in faster recovery times after implantation.

The recent FDA clearance for its medical device family marks Osseus’ fourth FDA 510(k) clearance.

Touching film about breast cancer patient posing for artists reveals the anxiety of living with a changed body

 

Breast cancer survivor Marjut Keski-Korpi posed as an art model for nine artists. Portraits of Ihana Nainen (“lovely woman”) collection of portraits was turned into an exhibition showcasing the beauty that originates beyond a person’s physical attributes – personality, experiences and attitudes.

Changes in one’s body can be confusing and distressing. Many people diagnosed with breast cancer have to go through surgery that leaves a lasting memory of the disease.The human body is still a work of art, beautiful in so many ways, even though mind and body have undergone countless hardships

Students of the Free Art School in Finland discovered the overall beauty of a person by painting Marjut Keski-Korpi - a breast cancer survivor. Marjut had to go through a total mastectomy where her other breast was removed and replaced with an implant.

“Many seem to think that now I have beaten cancer, everything is fine. But there is so much more to it, than just the cancer - changes in self-image and everything it entails,” says Marjut. She voices that it is important to talk about the subject openly: “ I want to show that cancer is not something to be ashamed of. Nobody should hide themselves because of an illness.”

The Ihana Nainen portrait exhibition reflect both the artists’ encounter with Marjut as well as their personal experiences.
“This has been a very interesting project, which deals with the contradictions of life in a beautiful way. Beauty is not a simple construct, it is a multidimensional concept,” describes the principal of the Free Art School Paavo Paunu.

Watch the touching video of Marjut’s encounter with the artists here.

Arla Ihana participates in the Pink Ribbon fundraiser supporting cancer research. In addition to their donation, Arla Ihana wants to help raise awareness on the issue:

“Breast cancer affects one in eight women. The tough experiences do not have to diminish our inner nor outer beauty. Everyone is wonderful just the way they are. That is why we feel that it is important to also support the conversation around the topic,” states Betina Karvinen, Arla Ihana’s Brand & Category Manager.

After the exhibition, the portraits will be auctioned and the proceeds forwarded to cancer research.

Health change guru Marissa Costonis, Certified Health Coach, has developed the “5 Bites to Health” methodology, which is detailed in her new book, Change Bites, 5 Change Management Strategies to Transform Your Health. In just this first week, Change Bites reached #10 on Amazon Best Sellers in Business and Health! I’m happy to discuss review opportunities as well.

The “5 Bites to Health” process can be applied no matter how healthy someone eats today and regardless of how big or small a change. Here’s a summary:

  • Begin with the end in mind: Be clear on your vision of “perfect” health, why it’s important and what you will do with it once you have achieved it. Assessing your sense of urgency by asking, “why change now?” and focusing on the end result will keep you motivated throughout your transformation.
  • Go slow to go fast: While a few big changes may be helpful in the short-term to jump start your eating habits and health, improving each meal one bite at a time creates sustainable change that will last a lifetime.
  • Focus on the foods you can eat, not the ones you need to give up. Identify your “personal best foods” and all the ways to prepare them. Then, begin to incorporate these foods into a variety of meals and expand your palette from there.
  • Create food flexibility. For example, creating a set of ten simple recipe techniques that incorporate a variety of your personal best veggies gives you the skills and flexibility to make 100 different meals depending on what you have on-hand.
  • Celebrate your successes and look for other ways to use the process over and over to continue making positive changes to your diet and other areas of your life for a true health transformation. This change process can also be used to support a transition to non-toxic beauty and cleaning supplies or pesticides. It can even help in switching up workout routines!

ABOUT CHANGE BITES

Change Bites is the only book that provides readers with a step-by-step guide for how to change eating habits and health regardless of eating style, including vegan, paleo, gluten-free, and keto diets. This process exposes the pitfalls and challenges of a food change no matter how big or small. This unique methodology is the only one to implement proven change management best practices and tools used successfully with Fortune 500 organizations—which Costonis draws upon from her decade of experience leading global large-scale transformation projects for a management consulting practice.

ABOUT MARISSA COSTONIS

Marissa Costonis is the health change guru. She is owner of Change Bites, LLC and a Certified Health Coach by Institute for Integrative Nutrition who helps people make easy changes in their eating habits one bite at a time, whether food is the culprit or the cure. She spent over a decade in change management consulting leading a variety of change initiatives around the world. When she developed neuropathy and several health problems began to pile up, Costonis was forced to completely change her diet. Overwhelmed and confused, she began to apply all the leading change models and frameworks to simplify her own health transformation with great success. The “5 Bites to Health” process was born. Today Costonis conducts individual and group coaching programs, workshops and enjoys guest-speaking engagements to share her unique approach and support others in their journey to health.

Don't Miss the Signs of a Breaking Spine, Warns IOF

 

GENEVA, Oct. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Osteoporosis, a disease which causes bones to become weak and fragile, is the cause of broken bones in approximately one in three women and one in five men aged over 50 worldwide.

(Photo: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/767079/IOF_Infographic.jpg )

Spine (or 'vertebral') fractures are the most common osteoporotic fractures - with one new fracture estimated to occur every 22 seconds worldwide. Yet although they are a major cause of pain and long-term disability, up to 70 per cent of vertebral fractures don't come to clinical attention.

To mark World Osteoporosis Day on October 20th, the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) urges adults to be on the alert for three signs of possible spine fractures: sudden, severe back pain; height loss of more than three centimeters (just over one inch); or stooped back.

IOF President, Professor Cyrus Cooper, stated: "Patients with sudden back pain are often simply prescribed pain killers and not properly assessed and treated for the underlying cause. Yet without preventive treatment, one spine fracture can initiate a cascade of more broken bones, which in turn lead to long-term pain and disability."

In fact, one in five women with a spine fracture will suffer another within twelve months, with serious impact on their quality of life. Anita, a patient from Sweden with a family history of osteoporosis, is a typical example. Anita sustained multiple spine fractures, with the third occurring when she had the flu and simply coughed. As a result, she has lost six centimetres in height, suffers from chronic pain, and had to give up her beloved job as a nurse.

Together with its 240-member organizations worldwide, IOF calls on health care professionals to address the under-reporting and under-treatment of spine fractures.

Professor Cooper added: "We advise radiologists who routinely perform X-rays to be on the lookout for vertebral fractures and to correctly report these as 'fractures'. Physicians too must do their part to ensure that once identified, patients benefit from appropriate treatment and management strategies, before further damaging and life-threatening fractures occur."

Fractures due to osteoporosis represent an enormous burden to healthcare systems and costs are predicted to rise markedly over the next few decades. IOF calls for the implementation of Fracture Liaison Services in hospitals worldwide - a critical step forward in reducing the human and economic costs of fragility fractures. Such services help ensure that a patient's first break is their last.

For World Osteoporosis Day, IOF has provided several new resources for patients and healthcare professionals. The One-Minute Osteoporosis Risk Test is also available to help adults identify their personal risk factors for osteoporosis.
