Tummy Tuck Timing Article in News Herald

Pregnancy at any age can take its toll on the shape of your breasts or abdomen. More-so with each subsequent baby. Whether you are in your early 20’s or late 30’s it is still hard to get back the figure you had prior to pregnancy. I see the anguish and recrimination you go through thinking you can workout enough to make your stomach flat and your breasts firm up or gain more volume. Once you have lost the baby weight, if you are lucky enough to do so, your exercise efforts tone your muscles but do not restore the abdomen fascia to a flat state. When you are within 10% of your weight loss goal but not seeing your body have the shape you want, it is reasonable for you and me to talk over your mommy make-over goals. Whether it is reshaping your breast or abdomen alone or in combination, your recovery will be custom analyzed based upon your specific goals taking into account your current responsibilities, temperament, and life experience!

PS If you’ve waited long enough to see if things will change on their own, give my office a call and inquire about some details.

Think Health the new show featuring Dr. Vanek will discuss Breast Asymmetry this Sunday. Check it out.

Did you know that research at the University of Texas noted that 88% of women studied had breast asymmetry.  Breast surgeons recently polled at the American Society of Plastic surgeons, held in Denver agreed that the results underestimated asymmetry of the breast by about 12%.  Astoundingly, women do not appreciate how frequently their breasts are asymmetric until pointed out to them in clinical exams. If you would like more informationon Breast Asymmetry turn to  WKYC Channel 3 this Sunday @10:26am.

Breast Cancer Awareness  Naturally Phenomenal

Breast conservation and radiation is often an option for those who have invasive cancer. Often the irradiated breast looks symmetric with the untreated one for many years, but over time may shrink down and look different or hurt. Women who have an implant reconstruction can experience thickening of their breast capsule as a late consequence of irradiation. The solution to this is to import your natural tissue from the low abdomen and move it up into the breast area to give you a natural, supple, volume-matched result. It is called a TRAM breast reconstruction. An added bonus of TRAM reconstruction is that you get a tummy tuck out of the “donor site” in the low abdomen area. Some women do not opt for any reconstruction at the time of their mastectomy because they are so worried about just surviving the cancer and chemotherapy regimen. In that circumstance, I will be there for you when you are ready.

PS The Breast Reconstruction Act of 1998, for which I lobbied Congress in person, covers the treatment of the opposite breast to improve symmetry with any breast reconstruction.
