Getting the most out of a visit to the doctor
The doctor is an expert on medical issues... you are an expert on you. Before you go to a doctor, please get organized. What symptoms do you have? For how long? How frequently? Write down all the things you want to tell your doctor. Write down all the specific questions you want to ask your doctor. You have one shot at giving the doctor all the information he needs to know about you and your condition. If he has all of the details, he has a better chance at helping you.
For more information see this article by the Joint Commission.

This Valentine’s Day Celebrate Your Love, Appreciate Your Body, Replenish Your Spirit Share
Think about it!
Becoming comfortable and learning to love your body is not about crash dieting and spending hours at the gym to attain that elusive ‘perfect’ body. While incorporating good eating habits and regular exercise into your daily routine is very important, having a good body image is ultimately about acceptance and loving yourself. A healthy body image occurs when a woman’s feelings about her body are positive, confident and self-caring.
This positive image is what motivates women to care for their bodies, find outlets for self-expression, have confidence in their physical abilities and in general, feel comfortable with whom they are. Feeling good often translates into looking good, with the understanding that we are all unique individuals.
Women, who already have a healthy body image and desire to enhance, but not change their appearance, will generally benefit the most from cosmetic surgery. Always remember, plastic surgery can re-shape one’s body, not one’s life. It can help improve your own natural beauty and restore what life’s milestones have altered, while imparting a renewed self-confidence.
The staff at The Women’s Center knows true beauty begins on the inside and believe that beauty should be as beneficial to your body as it is boosting to your confidence. It isn’t enough to enhance your physical appearance if your overall health isn’t at its personal best.
We refer to our philosophy of health and vitality as “Healthy Beauty”, the healthiest approach possible to a more beautiful you! Our patients are encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle, which will contribute to maintaining or even improving their surgical results..

Great article on how to choose a surgeon in the Dallas, Plano, Richardson, Garland area
How to choose a surgeon in the Dallas, Garland and Plano area.
1. Talk to your primary care physician since he knows the most about you and your medical history and status. In addition, he knows the Dallas and Plano areal surgeons and surgery centers and can make a recommendation to you.
2. Research the doctor. Look him up on the internet see what you can find. Some people find that seeing a picture of the surgeon, a video of him talking and a biography help you find out if you feel comfortable with him or her. Is the doctor board certified? What hospitals or surgery centers is he able to perform surgery at?(this is called credentialed) You can also look for reviews where patients have reviewed doctors that they have been patients of. Other sites will let you know if there are any actions taken by medical organizations against that doctor. D Magazine chooses doctors from peer reviews and puts out an annual "Best Doctors in Dallas" edition which contains biographies and photos of the best doctors in Dallas (and Plano too)
3. Make an appointment with the doctor first and talk to him or her, you will get a good feel on whether or not your "gut reaction" tells you that he is the right doctor or not for your surgery. Listen to your instincts. Ask him about his qualifications and also everything about the surgery, risks, procedures, etc. Bring as much of your medical records as possible so he can know about you.

How much does plastic surgery cost?
The cost of being beautiful. How much do various plastic surgeries or treatments cost?
These are based on averages of asking less then 10 doctors in various places around the country. Prices will vary.
Breast Surgery
- Breast Augmentation
$6,000- $9,000
Breast implants when bigger is better.
- Breast Reduction
$6,000 - $9,000
When smaller would be better.
- Breast Lift
$3,000 - $6,000
If gravity is getting you down, this lifts you up again and can also sometimes make them look bigger.
Facial Surgery
- Face Lift
$5,000- $10,000
A face lift can reduce wrinkles, lines and sagging skin
- Browlift
$2,500 - $5,000
A browlift can make you look younger by reducing or getting rid of wrinkles and lines.
- Rhinoplasty Or a nose job
$4,000 - $5,000
A rhinoplasty can be done to make the nose shorter, have less of a hump, make it more narrow or change the shape of the nose in many different ways.
- Otoplasty or Ear Surgery
$900 - $1200
Otoplasty can change the shape of the ears or how far they "stick out."
Body Surgery
- Liposuction
$3,000 - $10,000
Removal of fat from various parts of the body.
- Abdominoplasty Or A Tummy Tuck
$1,000 - $2000
Excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen can be removed with a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty). This procedure also tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall and dramatically improves the appearance of a protruding abdomen. Women in particular have a hard time strengthening these muscles after changes associated with pregnancy have stretched their abdomen to the limit. Weight loss can also cause loose skin in the abdominal area, which may be resistant to toning by exercise. Tummy tucks can be performed as an outpatient procedure, but some patients may be more comfortable staying in a hospital facility overnight.

minimally invasive robotic surgery with Da Vinci
The next phase of minimally invasive surgery will be done with robotics. See the da Vinci® system surgical robot in action in this video.
Minimally invasive surgery versus Traditional Surgery
In traditional surgery, you might have very large cuts in the skin and at times the surgeon may have to do damage to other parts of the body in order to open up a large enough space to do their work with their hands. They may have to cut through the ribs, bones or muscle to make the space needed for the operation. Most of the recovery time needed, pain and bloodloss occurs not because of the operation, but of all the cuts and trauma needed to open up enough space in the body to be able to get hands and instruments in the area to perform the work.
Instead, minimally invasive surgery attempts to avoid having to open up the body so much by using special tools such as the the endoscope. A skinny tube with a minature camera and light is inserted into the body through an incision just big enough to fit the tiny endoscopic tube into. The surgeon then uses this as his eyes during the operation, viewing the camera's view on a monitor. The surgeon makes other small incisions just large enough to insert the special tools for the operation.
The incisions required for endoscopic surgeries can be less than half an inch at times.

When Plastic Surgery Calls for a Do-Over
NO face-lift stops time, so as aging continues, even a satisfied patient may choose have another one a decade later. But what if your face-lift never pleased you, not because of complications or monstrous scars, but because of aesthetics pure and simple? Perhaps your first surgeon’s technique resulted not only in a tighter jaw line, but also a flat wind-swept cheek and a stretched mouth. Or your nose no longer has an unsightly bump, but now, postsurgery, is asymmetrical.
