Plastic Surgeon Reveals 6 Low-Cost Ways to Look Better

Not every woman is interested in having a plastic surgery mommy makeover. However, any woman who is interested and dedicated can make significant improvements to their physical appearance.

Alexander, the certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta, recommends these seven tips for inexpensive ways to begin your own makeover without surgery.

Nutrition and Diet: We all know this. We are what we eat. The importance of a healthy diet and portion control cannot be over-emphasized. Keeping a journal of your daily intake is a really good way to see what you are consuming and how to improve your diet. If you are not knowledgeable about nutrition, you can see a nutrition counselor who can help set guidelines for you. Lifestyle coaches will also review your diet and help guide you.

Exercise: This is another piece of the equation that we all know, but it is hard to coordinate exercise with work, family, children, household duties and community service. It doesn’t seem like there is possibly enough time in the day, but exercise needs to be part of your weekly routine. Find something that you like to do so you can stick with it. Start slow and be patient. Some possibilities include joining a club or hiring a personal trainer, trying a DVD that will allow you to work out at home or signing up for a group training class to keep you motivated, downloading an app or using a computer program to help you set goals and track your progress, or trying something more low-impact like yoga or Pilates to help your mind while you tone your body.

The Right Bra: Getting fitted for the right bra, whether push-up or padded, can make a huge difference in how you look in your clothes.

The Right Undergarments: Spanx really do work!

Quick Fixes: In-office procedures like Botox and fillers can rejuvenate the face and make you look and feel younger and more rested. These are simple and safe procedures that are performed in the office and can make such a difference in your appearance.

Skin Care: Find a good dermatologist, plastic surgeon or aesthetician who can help design a good skin care program for you. This obviously will include no smoking, staying out of the sun and sunscreen. Laser treatment, microdermabrasion, facial peels are some of the effective tools to help rejuvenate the face.

Personal Shopper: Finding the right clothes that flatter your figure can make a huge difference.

For women undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer, immediate breast reconstruction has a low risk of complications – including serious complications related to radiation therapy – and does not cause undue delays in cancer treatment, reports a study in the July issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery^®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons(ASPS).

The results alleviate concerns that immediate reconstruction leads to increased complications and other problems after mastectomy. “These findings make a strong argument for immediate reconstruction regardless of cancer stage,” according to the study by ASPS Member Christopher A. Crisera, MD of UCLA Medical Center and colleagues.

Benefits of Immediate Reconstruction Are Achieved with Low Complication Rates

The researchers evaluated a significant number of women with advanced breast cancer who underwent breast reconstruction immediately after mastectomy. Over a ten-year period, immediate reconstruction was performed on 170 women, including reconstruction of both breasts in 13 patients. The reconstructions were mainly done using tissues from the abdominal area (TRAM flaps).

The outcomes of immediate breast reconstruction were analyzed, focusing on complication rates, timing of other cancer treatments and cosmetic results. The goal was to determine whether the proven benefits of immediate reconstruction were justified in terms of the risks and possible adverse effects.

There were 15 major complications: a rate of 8.8 percent. The complications led to delays in further cancer treatments (chemotherapy and/or radiation) in only eight patients, with a maximum delay of three weeks. Fifteen women had recurrent breast cancer during follow-up; immediate reconstruction did not cause any delays in recognizing these recurrences.

An important goal of the study was to determine whether immediate reconstruction contributed to any complications of radiation therapy for breast cancer. Long-term follow-up of 69 women undergoing radiation therapy found a 30 percent rate of relatively minor flap shrinkage. However, only about 10 percent of women had severe breast distortion. “Importantly, the overall cosmetic outcome in patients who received postoperative radiation was comparable to those who did not,” Dr. Crisera and colleagues write.

For women undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer, immediate breast reconstruction offers several advantages over delayed reconstruction, including improved cosmetic outcomes, shorter recovery time, and decreased costs. Immediate reconstruction is also an important coping mechanism associated with improved quality of life and a reduced risk of depression. Yet there’s continued debate over its use, with some surgeons fearing immediate reconstruction will increase the risk of complications or delay further cancer treatments.

The new study of immediate breast reconstruction is one of the largest to date. The results suggest that immediate reconstruction is safe and well tolerated by patients, and does not lead to an increased risk of complications. Delays in further treatment appear comparable to those of women undergoing mastectomy alone. The study also suggests that a “vast majority” of women experience no or only minor complications related to radiation therapy.

The authors hope their results will reassure women with breast cancer – and their surgeons – that immediate breast reconstruction is a safe and beneficial alternative to waiting weeks or even months for reconstruction. Dr. Crisera and c-oauthors believe that the proven benefits of immediate breast reconstruction should not be denied for fear of complications or other safety problems.
