As you know from your consultation with Dr. Klein, lip augmentation is an easy procedure, with a relatively short recovery time. Regardless, there are certain steps you can take to ensure that recovery is as comfortable and seamless as possible.

In the days and weeks following the procedure, lip augmentation patients can expect swelling and redness of the lips. These side effects can be reduced, with the following steps:

• Elevate your head.
• Ice your lips every few hours, for no more than 10 minutes at a time.
• Take inflammatory medicines, like ibuprofen. (Avoid aspirin.)
• Eat soft liquids and foods.
• Rest your body.
• Hydrate!

For those who are unaware, a mastectomy is a procedure that involves the surgical abstraction of one or both breasts, resulting in either partial or complete removal of the breast(s).  For women, their breasts can be the most significant symbol of their femininity, and even the partial loss of a breast can be devastating.  With breast reconstruction, these women are able to completely move on with their lives.

The best way to prevent breast cancer is to perform regular checks, both at the doctor and at home.  It is important for all women to perform regular self-breast checks, like this one, provided by WebMD.

If you’re unsure whether you would be a good candidate for a breast reduction surgery, start by asking yourself the following questions:

1. Do your shoulders bear indentions from your bra straps?
2. Do you experience neck pain and shoulder pain?
3. Have you commonly had ulcers or sores underneath your breasts?
4. Do you sometimes experience difficulty breathing?
5. Is one of your breasts noticeably bigger than the other?

If you’ve answered, “yes” to one or more of these questions, you should consider your options for breast reduction.  Breast reduction is much safer and generates more aesthetically pleasing results than ever before.  Additionally, in most cases, health insurance carriers cover this procedure, alleviating a majority of the financial burden.

In order to ensure that the post-surgery recovery is smooth and efficient, follow these pre-surgery guidelines:

1. If you use any nicotine products, including cigarettes, patches, and gum, it is vital that you quit using these products at least one month before the surgery.  Nicotine has been proven to elongate and hinder the recovery process.
2. Do not take any medicine that causes thinning of the blood in the week preceding the procedure.  This can lead to complications during the procedure, but it also increases the risk of bruising.
3. If you struggle with high blood pressure and hypertension, consult your physician to ensure that you are on the proper medication for maintaining these conditions.
4. It is important that you prepare for recovery in the weeks before the procedure by stocking up on medical supplies, comfort items, and easy-to-make food.  Also, make sure that you have a plan of transportation to and from the Your Renaissance office in Concord, as you will be unable to operate a vehicle following the procedure.

And, lastly, do not hesitate to contact Your Renaissance with any questions or concerns regarding your facelift.  For more information, call Dr. Klein and the Your Renaissance office directly at 704-784-4008.

By definition, liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that utilizes a suction device to remove excess fat from beneath the skin.   Before the surgery, you will be required to meet with Dr. Klein at the Your Renaissance office for a private consultation.  At this time, be prepared to share any personal questions or concerns, and be prepared to answer the following questions:

What motivated you to pursue liposuction?

What do you expect to achieve from the procedure?

• What is your overall goal for the procedure?
• 
  
• Are there any medical conditions, allergies, or treatments that might affect the procedure?

Additionally, Dr. Klein will wish to review your past and current medical history, medication use, and surgeries.  He will then evaluate your state of health, determining if you are a viable candidate for liposuction.

After approving you for the surgery, Dr. Klein will explain the surgery in full detail, including prep and recovery.  He will also define the best strategy to realistically and safely achieve your goals.

The following are five thoughts that you must forever remove from your mind…immediately!:

1. “I can’t.”

You CAN, and you ARE.  Our ‘limits’ extend far beyond any imaginable limits that we set for ourselves.  Work outside of your comfort zone.  After all, the ‘comfort zone’ exists merely to stifle your true potential.  You’ll be surprised how far you can reach when you live outside of your perceived limits.

2. “I’m content.”

In relation to “I can’t,” if you are feeling comfortable in your life, perhaps under the belief that you can’t do more, then it’s time to make a change.  Being content is equivalent to being bored.  Find ways to Be ecstatic,Be enriched, and Be involved, and you’ll find that every experience is drastically improved when you become an active member in your life.

3. “It’s not expected of me.”

Allowing other people to determine your expectations for yourself is allowing them to determine your personal boundaries and limits.  It’s your job to determine your potential and capabilities; don’t let others define your worth.

4. “I’ll never be as good as ____/have a job like ____/be able to ____.”

Rather than comparing yourself to others, use your own achievements and milestones as benchmarks for your success, and celebrate when you surpass your own expectations because those are the only ones that matter.  On that note, raise your expectations for yourself–you can!

5. “I’ll do it tomorrow.”

Tomorrow doesn’t exist.  There is only today.  Even when the elusive tomorrow arrives, it is still today.

Make sense?

Besides, whatever it may be that you’re delaying until tomorrow won’t seem any more appealing in the morning.

As you proceed with your day, be conscious of the times in which you find yourself thinking of all of the things you “have” to do.  You don’t have to exercise, you don’t have to give your all in the workplace, you don’t have to treat your body with nutritional meals, and you don’t have to nourish your soul with optimistic thinking–you get to.  Living a happy, healthy lifestyle is both a privilege and a right; take advantage of it!
