Body Shaping Procedures
.: Abdominoplasty
Commonly known as a “tummy tuck”, the abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure intended to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen. It also tightens the abdominal muscles. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen and but does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem, can be from hip to hip.
.: Liposuction
Liposuction can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, and neck. Today, a number of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times.
.: Enhancing life with Hormone Replacement Therapy
I would like to tell you about an exciting program that my staff and I have been working on for about three years. It is derived from many disciplines; among these are various studies in life extension and some conferences I have attended on the subject of anti-aging. Remember how it felt to be 20 years old--how much energy you had, how little sleep you needed, how nothing seemed to be too big of a project? Traditionally, doctors have had to focus their practices on REACTIVE methods, reacting to the ills caused by smoking, inactivity,and excess weight. Now they've found ways of being PROACTIVE in practice. It turns out that all of those aspects of youthful vigor are governed by hormones, that hormones are governed by nutrition, and that by replacing/balancing our nutrition and hormones, we can regain that youthful vigor.
Now, for the exciting part. It turns out that there are some things that can be done that in the past were not thought possible. It appears that the concept of our cells getting old is probably erroneous. It has been shown that our cells are probably as healthy as their hormonal environment. However, having said that, it has been established that our hormone values start decreasing at about age 30, so that by time we reach middle age and beyond, our cells are starving for the level of hormones that they once enjoyed. They cannot, therefore, function the way they did at one time. I think a good example of this is how we tend to put on weight in various parts of our body at middle age, and we just seem to not be able to handle food the way we did in our youth. This often leads to lethargy and inability to really perform the exercise that we did once before. There is a way to return the vitality to the various cells in your body, and this forms the basis of the new program that we are offering. We think there are eight or nine main hormones that, if brought up to the level that are normal for you in your 20s and 30s, will allow you a much better processing of your food, more energy, lower cholesterol values, an ideal body weight, and a chance to enjoy the youth and vigor that you may have lost. In addition, for those people who have chronic diseases, such as certain gastrointestinal conditions, certain lung problems, and certain conditions such as various forms of arthritis and myalgias, these things can brought under much better control with the right hormone environment.
To begin, we first must realize that balance to the key. Throughout this document you will see reference to balance. It is essential that there be adequate nutritional balance that consists of quality food as well as quality supplements. There must also be quality activity and interests. If you leave out but one part of this formula, you will not get the same results. Balance, balance, balance. It cannot be overstated. Balance is everything! We're going to outline here a good balance of excellent meal planning information, nutritional supplements, pieces to the hormonal balancing puzzle, and some general health and welfare tips. We feel this combination of life balancing/extending information will enhance our lives tremendously. So, if you're looking to correct specific deficiencies or simply want to feel young again...
