Rhinoplasty- New Jersey

Nose surgery or Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular procedures done in the United States, with over 400,000 operations performed each year.  Rhinoplasty at Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center is used to create a more attractive look and it may involve removing or sculpting nasal tissues in order to reduce the size of the nose or create a more shapely appearance. Results will vary from person to person and will depend on a number of factors including age, condition of the skin, and facial structure.  Some concerns that Dr. Weinstein can address with Rhinoplasty are:

• Balance disproportion of the nose and facial features.
• Reduce a nose that is too wide or large.
• Correct an over arched nose
• Improve a crooked or elongated nose tip.
• Repair damage to the nose from an accident or injury.
• Rebuild the nasal passages to correct breathing problems

Breast Augmentation New Jersey

Studies show that body confidence can radiate outwards affecting all areas of a person’s life!  Looking your best means feeling your best and now more than ever before women can feel better about their shape.  Breast Augmentation is a procedure done to increase the size and improve the shape of a woman’s breasts with a silicone or saline implant. Patients in New Jersey may choose to undergo Breast Augmentation Surgery for a variety of reasons: the desire to make the body more proportional, restoring volume and firmness to breasts that have lost their shape due to age or breast feeding, and creating symmetry for breasts that differ in size or shape.

Breast augmentation implant surgery requires careful consideration, so partner with an experienced surgeon like Dr. Weinstein for trusted results. Contact us today for more information or to schedule a consultation.

The Best Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with Dr. Weinstein.

The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.

Breast augmentation is usually done to balance a difference in breast size, to improve body contour, or as a reconstructive technique following surgery.

Rare tumor easily treated associated with breast implants.

“Risk of this new cancer about equal to being struck by lightening.”

However, this is yet another reason, as rare as it is, that breast implants are not recommended for women under 18 and silicone implants for women under 21.

The FDA says breast implants may be linked to rare form of lymphomatous cancer.

ABC World News (1/26, story 7, 2:10, Sawyer) reported, “An important health warning tonight from the FDA about a possible link between breast implants and a rare form of cancer.” ABC (Stark) added, “The government says they may be linked to a rare form of lymphoma. … There are 60 cases worldwide, in as many 10-million women with implants.”

The Washington Post (1/27, Stein) reports that the FDA on Wednesday announced it had “detected a possible association between saline and silicone gel-filled breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL)” The agency said most women with implants “do not have to have them removed or take any other steps,” but they should “immediately seek medical care” if they develop “unusual problems,” such as “swelling or pain around the implant.”

According to the AP (1/27), the FDA based its warning on a review of “scientific literature going back to 1997 along with information provided by international governments and manufacturers.” Most of the cases were “reported after patients sought medical care” for problems “around the surgical site.”

The Wall Street Journal (1/27, Dooren, Mundy, subscription required) reports, FDA has identified 60 ALCL cases in women who had breast implants, of which 34 cases have thus far been verified, according to a statement released by the agency. HealthDay (1/26, Reinberg) noted that 24 of the cases were “related to silicone implants, seven to saline implants and the type of implant in the remaining three cases are not known,” according to the FDA. The agency also said that “19 of the implants were inserted for cosmetic reasons and 11 were used in reconstructive procedures. The reasons for the other four procedures are not known.”

The New York Times (1/27, A18, Grady) reports that in some cases, simply “removing the implant and scar tissue gets rid of the disease, but some women might need chemotherapy and radiation,” said Center for Devices and Radiological Health Deputy Director Dr. William Maisel. He noted that although 60 cases is “a tiny number compared” with the number of women who have implants, it is an excess when “compared with the usual incidence.” ALCL in the breast is “normally found in only three in 100-million women who do not have implants.”

Bloomberg News (1/27, Larkin) says, “Allergan Inc. and Johnson & Johnson” breast implants were linked to ALCL by US investigators. Allergan, the “maker of Natrelle gel and saline breast implants,” and J&J’s “Mentor division each control about half the market for breast implants.” Dr. Maisel told Bloomberg News that the agency is “working with manufacturers to revise their product labeling and plans to release an analysis of company-sponsored studies ‘later this spring.'”

According to MedPage Today (1/26, Bankhead), Allergan released a statement, saying “company officials support the FDA recommendations” and advising all physicians to “remain diligent in their monitoring” for ALCL symptoms. A statement from the J&J Mentor division says the “company concurs with the FDA’s position that the body of evidence supports the safety and efficacy of approved implants when used as labeled.”

The Boston Globe (1/27, Kotz), the Louisville (KY) Courier-Journal (1/27, Carter), Medscape (1/26, Lowes), WebMD (1/26, DeNoon), the Time (1/27, Melnick) “Healthland” blog, and CNN (1/27, Young) in its “The Chart” blog also covered FDA’s warning regarding ALCL in women with breast implants.
