My new bffs (my breasts) turned 1 yr old in Jan! I have to say it was THE BEST experience, not only do they look natural but they are the breasts I have always dreamed I would have. My fiance who was originally against plastic surgery, now one could say that he has turned into a bit of a connoisseur. I cannot say enough about the surgery room staff–the nurse was calm and nuturing upon my awakening. I would also like to thank the anesthesiologist, not sure his name, who gentlely rubbed my arm to calm me as I fell into my beauty slumber. Since my experience I have shared my little secret ,whom we like to call Dr. B, with 4 of my other girlfriends who are equally as thrilled. This month to celebrate my own birthday I recieved botox. In usual fashion Dr.Bashioum and Sandy told me I didn’t need it but they were also kind in reccomending a natural amount to diminish my first “line.”
Over-weight Patients and Cosmetic Surgery
December 12th, 2011
Can I have cosmetic surgery if I’m over-weight?
I advise my patients to be within a few pounds of their ideal weight before having elective cosmetic surgery. According to new research conducted by scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine, over-weight patients are nearly 12 times more likely to suffer a complication following elective plastic surgery than their normal-weight counterparts.
Americans are getting fat. 34% of adults in the United States are now estimated to be obese (those with a body mass index above 30), up from just 15 percent a decade ago. Meanwhile, the number of people nationwide having elective plastic surgery has also increased in recent years – with annual plastic surgery volume up considerably during the last decade. Physicians ought to keep a watchful eye on the scale when it comes to evaluating patients for elective surgery.
