Cosmetic surgery and your health

Patients wanting a surgical quick fix may want to reconsider their view on cosmetic surgery. Most patients don’t realize that without optimal cellular health the outcome of their chosen procedure may be less than desired. Patients seeking weight loss from liposuction surgery, or abdominoplasty may not realize that there is an underlying cause of their weight gain, and unless they address those issues prior to surgery. Hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and even hidden and undiagnosed allergies can have a negative effect on patient’s bodies. Most surgeons are unable or unwilling to diagnose and treat those deficiencies. Dr. Rubinstein‘s unique comprehensive approach to health addresses all aspects of health, hence is able to provide patients with customized treatment plans for optimal results.

Breast Reconstruction Options

Due to developments in techniques over the last several decades, women in Sarasota who have breast reconstruction after a mastectomy now have more options available to them than in time past.

“With the tissue expanders, you have to go back and forth to the operating room quite a few times,” one Sarasota patient told our information source. “The other flap reconstruction was a one-shot pact, and I opted for that.”

Flap reconstruction uses skin from other areas to reconstruct the breast, and may look more uniform than the tissue expander. If cleared by Dr. Rubinstein, some women have breast reconstruction right after a mastectomy, where the cosmetic surgeon uses the surrounding skin to construct the new breast.

Individuals considering breast reconstruction should schedule a consultation with Dr. Rubinstein, who is a member of ASAPS, and is qualified to perform both cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures at his Sarasota practice.

Please contact our Sarasota office today and schedule your complimentary consultation for your breast reconstruction. today.

b. Environmental conditions
c. Number and type of exposures
d. Emotional factors
e. All of the above

2. Hypersensitivity of which system creates an allergic response?

(Correct answers: 1. e, 2. b, 3. d. )
 
If you answered these questions correctly, chances are you have already done some research on your allergies. But what really are allergies?
Hypersensitivity of the immune system causes an allergic response to something you eat, or inhale, or expose your skin to. When antibodies are formed in response to an allergen, they trigger a release of histamine which then affects different parts of the body. This may result in not only sneezing, wheezing, rashes, or other well-known “allergy-related” conditions, but also in restlessness, fatigue, indigestion, arthritis, migraines, geographical tongue, and frequently ADD and ADHD in children. Bad news? Allergy shots can’t treat food allergies.
The good news? Patients with significant reactions to common or unavoidable substances can treat their allergies with under-the-tongue drops with gradually increasing doses of the substance. The body will gradually get used to the substance resulting in a reduced or diminished allergic response.
Our office can diagnose what each patient is allergic to by using one simple blood sample! No scratch tests are needed! This revolutionary treatment method allows patients of all ages to get allergy treatmentand relief without side effects! You can live allergy-free!

Cosmetic surgery fixes

Sarasota Cosmetic Surgeon Leonard A. Rubinstein says cosmetic surgery may not be suitable for everyone. Depending on each patient’s specific goals, there may be instances where patients benefit more from non-surgical rejuvenation procedures, skin care, nutriceutical counseling, soft tissue fillers, or other alternatives to cosmetic surgery.

If cosmetic surgery is advised (not plastic surgery, there sure is a difference), Dr. Rubinstein is an expert at helping patients decide on what procedures may fit their needs: liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, rhinoplasty, otoplasty or ear surgery, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, breast lift, fat transfer, facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, and the list is virtually endless. With many years of experience he has proven to be the best doctor to take care of patient’s cosmetic surgery needs, right here in Sarasota. Not to mention that his experience in anti-aging and rejuvenation medicine also puts him as the best.

Intra-areolar approach for no skin scar breast augmentation

An intra-areolar approach performed through a small incision is a superior technique for breast augmentation because it avoids skin scarring and the pitfalls of alternative methods. At the same time it yields natural-appearing results using any type of implant, said Leonard A. Rubinstein, M.D., developer of the technique.

“The pigmented, wrinkled areolar tissue does not develop keloids or hypertrophic scars, and provides excellent camouflage for an accordion-like incision” said Dr. Rubinstein, a cosmetic surgeon with private practice offices in Sarasota, FL.

After the markings are made with the patient in standing and sitting positions, the procedure can be performed under anesthesia, or IV sedation with local tumescent anesthesia. The incision measures about 2 cm in length from tip to tip, but because of its configuration, when stretched it provides an entry site of about 4 cm to 5 cm.

“By affording direct visualization, this approach ensures complete hemostasis while facilitating accurate implant placement and positioning. Any type of implant can be placed through the intra-areolar incision, even silicone gel-filled devices, and malpositioning of teardrop-shaped implants does not occur, as it can when those devices are delivered from peripheral sites in the umbilicus, axilla, or inframammary fold,” Dr. Rubinstein said.

The intra-areolar approach also provides the best opportunities for evaluating saline-filled implants for air and evacuating residual bubbles. Enduring the sound of sloshing that occurs secondary to incomplete air evacuation is a bothersome problem for many recipients of saline-filled implants placed through other techniques, Dr. Rubinstein said.

Relative to other approaches for breast augmentation, the intra-areolar technique also offers advantages for avoiding loss of nipple sensation and implant hardening. Dr. Rubinstein explained that the nerves supplying the nipple-areolar complex arise from the region of the inframammary fold, and so using the intra-areolar approach, only fine, distal nerve branches are severed, if at all, and these will regenerate or re-innervate adequately.

The intra-areolar approach also minimizes a number of factors that have been associated with implant hardening, including inadequate hemostasis, excessive tissue trauma, and bacterial contamination.
