Breast Surgery Now!

Now that you've got those kids back in school, you can take a few minutes for yourself  before you start preparing for the holidays!       Now's a super time to have that breast surgery you've been thinking about all summer.   Have it soon and you'll have time to get back in to fighting shape before those holiday parties.

Add To Subtract

One of the comments we hear from women all the time after they've had breast augmentation surgery is that they have had lots of people ask them if they've lost weight.  Adding some volume to the breasts creates a balance to their hips and gives them that hourglass shape that most women are going for.  That  contour makes the waist and hips  actually look much thinner and the overall shape much more attractive.  So adding a little to the breasts makes it look like you've taken away from the rest of the body.  It's a beautiful thing.

A Minute For Yourself

Well, summer's almost over.   Seems like we just get Memorial Day over and it's back to school shopping.  Summer is usually filled with camps, movies,  vacations, swimming, picnics, hikes---go, go, go.  Though it's wonderful to have the long hours of daylight and less restrictive schedules, it's not so back to get back in to a routine.  With the kids back in school (already or very soon)  we have a chance to sit still for a minute and catch our breath.  You might find a minute to think about yourself for a change.  Now's a great time to have that tummy tuck or breast lift.   You can have some peace and quiet to recover in.  If you've been putting it off because life's been so hectic, take a breath and think about what you'd like to do.   If you have your surgery now you'll be in great shape for the holidays, which will be upon us before we know it!

Breast Reduction Relief

Many women suffer with constant back and neck pain from large, heavy breasts.   Bras are very expensive for huge breasts and, lets face it, are usually more industrial looking than pretty.  Women get deep shoulder grooving from the pull of their bra straps as the bra tries to hold the breasts up.  Many women with large, heavy breasts suffer with constant headaches and neck strain.  Many women with large, pendulous breasts would love to get more exercise, but jogging, walking and going to the gym are very uncomfortable and in many cases embarrassing.      If you are one of these women you should look into breast reduction surgery.   It is a wonderful procedure for re-shaping and positioning the breasts as well as reducing them to a comfortable, natural size that fit your body.   Patients report that it is actually less painful than even a breast augmentation, too.    Get your questions answered.   Don't suffer needlessly.  Insurance companies are getting much more willing to pay for breast reduction, too.

Latisse Lashes

There's nothing like long, dark, full lashes to give your eyes and face a boost.   As we age our eyelashes usually thin and fall out more easily.   They often grow stubby and lighter in color.   Sometimes by the time we're 50 we don't have much in the way oif lashes left.  Eyeylash extensions are expensive and require a trip to a technician regularly to keep them up.  Latisse by Allergan is a miracle for growing longer, fuller , darker lashes.   It really works.   You just brush (with a tiny brush which is included) on the base of the upper lash line each night before bed. (No need to apply to the lower lashes.  There's enough that seeps from the upper to the lower while we sleep to take care of them).    Your lashes will stay in the growth stage longer , thus making you lashes longer and fuller.    The bonus is that it usually darkens them as well---like natural mascara.  You must either have a prescription for Latisse or purchase it from a physician's office.   Give it a try.   You'll be very pleased with the results.

Skin Care Products

So you'd really like to have some cosmetic surgery done, but right now the cost is just not in your budget.  What can you do in the meantime to give yourself a boost and make your skin look fresher and healthier?   Good skin products can be very effective in giving your skin it's youthful glow back.   No amount of retinol or Vitamin C is going to turn the clock back 20 years, but using quality, concentrated products on your skin can have a huge affect on the health of your skin--and healthy, glowing skin looks  lot younger and more vital than dull, tired skin.   Talk to a qualified aesthetician with expertise in skin products to see which ones would suit your individual needs.   Everyone's skin is quite unique and demands a unique approach.  Everyone over 45 should be using some kind of Vitamin A or C product for skin thickening and increased cell turn over, which helps reduce wrinkles and discourages new ones from forming.  Quality cleansers and moisturizers are a must.   A micro scrub product to exfoliate and smooth is fabulous.   If you have acne prone skin there are products that help sooth and camoflauge those problems.   There are products with  antioxidants that protect against damaging free-radiacals.   And don't forget sunscreen.  There are some high SPF products now, that work great under make-up.  If you can't afford the surgery right now, at least get started on skin products that can improve your skin now and protect from damage in the future and give you a boost until you can afford that surgery you want.

Arthritis And Your Hands

As we age, almost all of us get arthritis in one joint or other.   Some people seem to be cusrsed with some level of arthritis damage in almost all of their joints.   We see some older folks who have very little arthritic change in their hands and some 50'sh patients who have totally destroyed joints  all over.   There are several factors that influence this:  age, use paterns, other diseases, and of course there's that genetic thing. Whatever the cause, or even the severity of the damage be aware that there are things that can help with the loss of strength and motion, and the sometimes constant pain.   There is something that can be done for every joint of the hand.   If you were having arthritic trouble with your knee or hip, you'd think nothing of seeing an orthopedic surgeon for a knee or hip replacement.   But, somehow we don't think about putting a new joint in a painful , stiff finger or rebuilding that non-functioning base joint in the thumb.  You owe it to yourself to look in to the treatment of these challenging problems.   Just because you're getting older doesn't mean that you have to accept the diminshed  use and quality of life that functioning hands can offer. Come see Dr. Sellers.   Know what your options are.   Don't live with pain and loss of function needlessly.
