When you’re picturing yourself after plastic surgery, what you’re seeing in your mind can be hard to really describe to your doctor; but it's important to have that talk. An in-depth consultation is arguably the most important part of your plastic surgery decision – that and choosing a board certified plastic surgeon to perform the procedure.
Find a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in the procedure you want, not just occasional face lift. The best choices are board certified plastic surgeons who understand how to restructure the internal anatomy, to give you pleasing results that will last.
Good results in breast enhancement, nose shaping or face lift are certainly within your reach, but not without you reaching out to your doctor first. Find a doctor who is willing to be honest and tell you what is achievable, and best suited for your body and face.

Results Too Good To Be True?
Buyer beware: some medispas may be advertising results they cannot achieve, and that creates unrealistic expectations.
Get real. The notion that any plastic surgery can be quick, simple and without scars of any kind, is simply unrealistic.
Look at celebrities who have had just too many plastic surgeries: too many face-lifts, breast enhancements, nose shapings. They are the poster-children for patients who pay thousands of dollars for disappointing results, or for “quick” procedures that don’t last.
On the other end of the spectrum, especially when it comes to face-lifts, are patients who are the victims of under-correction. The recent popularity of thread-lifts or mini face lift may require little time and investment, but these also have very little lasting power.
Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who really know what he or she is talking about, and talk to your doctor in depth
about the results you want compared to what you can realistically expect.

Oct. 16, 2009 is National Mammography Day...get yours today
In 1993 President Bill Clinton proclaimed the 3rd Friday of each October as National Mammography Day. This year, October 16th is a day for women to make get a mammogram, and spread the word on free mammograms available to others.
Breast cancer, aside from skin cancer, is the most common cancer that affects women.
According to the American Cancer Society an estimated 192,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer was expected to be diagnosed among women in 2008. They also estimate that another 40,000 women will die from breast cancer in 2009.
Those numbers are alarming, especially since if detected early enough through self/clinical exams and mammography, most types of breast cancer can be treated.
Please schedule your mammogram today, if you have not already done so, and make sure you receive one on a regular basis if you are over the age of 40, have a family history of breast cancer, or have a prior history of radiation treatment.
If you under the age of 40 please remember to perform monthly self breast exams and visit your health care professional at least every 3 years for a clinical breast exam.
Free mammograms are available on National Mammography Day...call our office to find out where in our local Freehold area.
