Z-Lift facelift perfect for healthier look.

New study indicates health perception associated with how old you look relative to your actual age. This is not a new concept, however it is the reason why many people have facial rejeuventation procedures. Looking older than your age may not be a sign of poor health. EurekAlert, 11/08/2010

Even though most adults want to avoid looking older than their actual age. The study found that a person needed to look at least 10 years older than their actual age before assumptions about their health could be made. Few people are aware that when physicians describe their patients to other physicians, they often include an assessment of whether the patient looks older than his or her actual age. For patients, it means looking a few years older than their age does not always indicate poor health status. The study found that when a physician rated an individual as looking up to five years older than their actual age, it had little value in predicting whether or not the person was in poor health. However, when a physician thought that a person looked 10 or more years older than their actual age, 99 per cent of these individuals had very poor physical or mental health. Over my many years of experience I have noticed patients who complained of looking much older after childbirth, weight loss and other health related causes. With a 2 hour procedure the masculine aging look of jowls can be eliminated with a natural rejeuvenated look. Other patients have baggy lower lids, hooding of the brows, severe wrinkles or nasolabial folds that can all be improved with quick recovery relative safe procedures.


Breast Reconstruction should be discussed
when Breast Cancer Diagnosed

Recently New York State has mandated a discussion of options for patients with Breast Cancer. Since my training at Sloan Kettering in New York I could not conceive of a woman not being offered the options of breast reconstruction when told of their diagnosis. A New York Times excerpt follows.

Before Breast Is Removed, a Discussion on Options
By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS
Published: August 18, 2010

After her mastectomy in April, Alantheia Pena cried for the loss of her breast. Her partner told her not to worry about the flat spot on her chest, but she could tell it bothered him when he looked away as she took off her shirt.

It was a kindly secretary at the place where she went to get her prosthesis, an artificial breast to fill out her clothing, who noticed her crying and told her that she could have her breast reconstructed, with health insurance covering the cost. Ms. Pena said her cancer surgeon had not told her.

Now a state law signed on Sunday by Gov. David A. Paterson will require New York hospitals and doctors to discuss the options for breast reconstruction with their patients before performing cancer surgery, to give them information about insurance coverage and to refer them to another hospital, if necessary, for the reconstructive surgery.

The law came about largely through the efforts a plastic surgeon at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx who gave Ms. Pena, who will turn 48 next week, a new breast, which made her so happy she wore a bikini last month for the first time in her life.

“It gave me back my life, Ms. Pena, who runs the H.I.V. ministry at Friendship Baptist Church in Brooklyn and lives in the Bronx, said on Wednesday. “It’s like my own breast. It’s beautiful. It’s perfect. It’s a perfect breast.

Dr. Garfein, who specializes in reconstructive surgery after breast, head and neck cancer, said he had pushed for the law after a friend of his, Dr. Caprice Christian Greenberg, co-wrote a paper showing that poor, minority women were much less likely to receive breast reconstruction after cancer than more affluent women.

Congress guaranteed universal coverage for breast reconstruction after cancer surgery in 1998. Only 30 percent to 40 percent of the women who had mastectomies now received breast reconstruction.

The number would be closer to 75 percent if more women were informed of their options. Ms. Pena, had her surgery at North General Hospital in Harlem, which is defunct, but she said her doctor there had never discussed breast reconstruction with her.

One reason for the low rate of reconstruction, Dr. Garfein said, may be the lack of plastic surgeons outside of large academic medical centers, and another may be financial.

Ms. Pena is still recovering from cancer, but with her new breast, she said, “at the end of it, you see some kind of rainbow.

Plastic Surgeons in Washington, DC

The North East plastic surgeons met in Washington, DC with our representatives and Senators. There appeared to be consensus in favor the CARES act which is in favor of mandating Medical Insurance companies to cover secondary congenital facial deformities. We also spent time on SGR concerns and found the representatives to be sympathetic.

These past few weeks have been very busy with body contouring procedures, such as liposculpture, breast enhancement and tummy tucks. Also Facial rejeuvenation has been very busy with quite a number of rewarding facelifts, facial fillers, and peels.
