Huntsman 140

       One of Dr. Sellers' great passions is bike riding.   He logs many, many miles every week on his trusty road bike.    It is very common for him to work an 8-9 hour day in the operating room and then go for a 50-60 mile bike ride to "relax".  Another passion of his is finding a cure or better treatments for cancer. In our practice we see the results most often of breast cancer, but other cancers also have devastating affects on peoples' lives.  
       During the week of June 10th, Dr. Sellers will be riding in the Huntsman 140.   It is a bike ride from Reno, Nevada to the Huntsman Cancer Center in Salt Lake City.     We are asking any of you out there that have been affected by cancer yourself, or know a loved one or friend who has battled this terrible disease to pledge funds for Cancer Research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.   Researchers are getting closer everyday to finding an answer, but it's a slow, expensive process.  Take the time now to pledge your support.   Every little bit helps in the fight against this terrible enemy.

We're Special!

Just a reminder that we have a special right now on tummy tucks and body lifts.   We are offering a 20% discount on the Doctor fee for  a tummy tuck or body lift through the end of May.   Your surgery would need to be paid for by May 31st and completed by June 15th.   If you've be thinking about making the move, now's a great time.    You'll save enough on your surgery to buy new clothes for your new body.   Here's the incentive you've needed!

Raise Your Hand

Did you know that Plastic Surgeons are Hand specialists, too?   Hands are incredibly intricate and technical.   Right up a Plastic Surgeon's alley.   Plastic Surgeons  have the same training that an orthopedic Doctor has.  If you have arthritic changes in your hands, pain, loss of motion and strength or accidentally put your hand in the lawn mower you might be really pleased with your care from a boad certified Plastic Surgeon.   Dr. Sellers did an additional year long fellowship in hand surgery when he finished his Plastic surgery training.   So many people go through life in terrible pain and inconvenience because they've been told by someone that "nothing can be done about arthritis.   You just have to live with it."    That is a terrible disservice to people and a totally false statement.  Actually, there are a myriad of things that can be done for pain, numbness, and weakness of the hand.   At least check with a surgeon about your options.  Hands are vital to your quality of life.   Make sure that yours work as well as possible.

It's Only Skin Deep

Any aesthetician, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon will tell you that a good skin care regimen is vital in looking bright and vibrant and healthy and young!  So what does that entail?   Well, first of all a good cleansing every night before bed.  It is really an important step to clean all the pollution, sweat, dirt, day-old makeup,  etc. that we come in contact with everyday each night before bed.    It opens up the pores and allows the skin to breathe while we sleep.   Going to bed with all that gunk on our skin is asking for dull, lifeless skin prone to breakouts.   There are many different types of skin.   Most skin is a combination of several.   Is you skin dry?  Oily? Acne prone?  Getting older?  Wrinkles?   Uneven skin tone?  Splotchy?  or a combination of several of these and several other traits?   You may not even know for sure how to catagorize your skin.,    There are a myriad of products out that will help you find a skin program that you can live with.   Most people need some kind of moisturizer after cleansing.   There are products tht fight free radicals and prevent damage. Don't forget  sun screen--another absolutely vital daily product.    There are products that get down into the collagen layers of the skin and make the skin thicker and more elastic.  There are products that can bleach out skin discolorations and even out skin tone.  There are products with glycolics or AHA's that exfoliate that dead layer of skin that hangs around on the surface.    It's a great idea to come in and talk to one of our master aestheticians about a program that will be unique to your specific needs.   And by the way, you are never too old, or too young to start on good skin products.   Over time, the benefits of good protective skin care are immeasurable.

The Grass is Always Greener

Isn't it wonderful that we're all so different.   Life would be boring if we were all 5'9" tall, weighed 130 pounds and had long blond hair and deep blue eyes.   How awful would that be?  Well, anyway......
In no way is our uniqueness more evident than in breast size.   Even in the same family, some girls may have very large breasts while their sisters or mothers have very small breasts.   Fortunately, both conditions can be fixed.   It's also interesting that small busted women seem to envy their larger breasted counterparts and can't understand why anyone would want to get a reduction.     While large busted women would often gladly trade their large breasts for their sisters very small ones.  Breast reduction surgery gives wonderful relief of the back, neck and headaches that carrying around extra breasts often cause.   Shoulder grooving from industrial strength bras will not be missed.  Fitting better in "cute" clothes is wonderful.   Breast implants for those who are often mistken for their little brothers is an incredible moral booster.  So, unless you are one of the lucky ones that are "just right", you might  look in to seeing what can be done surgically to make you a happier, healthier you.  

Men, Too

Cosmetic surgery has sometimes been thought of in the past as something only women would be interested in.  But more and more men are looking in to enhancing their appearance.  Just like women, many men would benefit from an eyelid lift, or chin lipoisuction.   Lots of men have fat in areas that they don't want it.  Liposuction can tame "spare tires" around the middle and give a more youthful stomach.   Face lifts can make a man look younger and fresher, too.    So, you men out there, don't be timid.   We see men everyday that are interested in feeling and looking better and want to know what kinds of procedures can be done to help them achieve their goals.  Come in and get your questions answered.   Now's the time.

Just Sayin'

So you're really strapped for funds right now, but you really need a pick me up.  Consider long, dark full eyelashes.   They can be a reality and at a reasonable price.   You may not have several thousand dollars for a body lift and liposuction, but for 100.00 you can start using Latisse.   In 6 weeks you can have eyelashes that others will envy.   Start now and by June 1st you can have that boost you've been needing.  Latisse comes in two sizes now, too.   Call and ask us some questions.  We'd be happy to fill you in on the magic of Latisse.
