Top Plastic Surgeon with your Choice of Surgery

You see it all the time on TV and in paparazzi photos. Female actresses and models that look amazingly tone and trim after years of partying and having children. Madonna comes to mind first, followed by Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and Rebecca Romijn. A few of my friends who have had children and are workout fanatics have come to find that there is no way to get all those body parts back together without a little help.

What would you do if a top plastic surgeon and a free surgical treatment of your choice were dropped into your lap? I used to roll my eyes at people who got these surgeries but now after 2 pregnancies my opinion has changed. Its one thing to get surgery for the heck of it but slicing into your body is a whole other topic when your skin is stretched beyond belief due to having babies.

I’ve come to realize that it’s either suck it up and deal with the changes or finally open my mind to the world of lifts, suction and tummy tucks. Botox is another thing that is starting to flow around my mom’s group so this lead me to think. If I could have a free makeover what would I do?

Here is what I decided. I would have my top eye lids and breasts lifted and the remaining pooch from having babies touched up. Why do you ask or shall I say my mother? Well, droopy eye lids run in my family and it makes us all look very tired. Even though I have been blessed with size D breasts after having 2 babies they do sag a bit. My friends who have totally toned up after children can’t seem to get rid of that last bit of tummy fat from their bellies no matter how many sit ups they do.

I guess the thing to remember is that there are different levels to anything and it’s the same with surgery. I’ve heard that actresses like Patricia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond had lifting done after having 4 children not full blown surgery. That sounds less invasive to me. What would you have done if you were offered a free makeover?

CT Scan Health Risks

I have had numerous CT scans over the past 6 years. This article makes me a bit nervous but Im glad that Dr. Mercola threw the facts out there. Check it out.

Will You Be one of the 15,000 That Are Killed By CT Scans Next Year?

CT scans deliver far more radiation than has been believed, and may contribute to 29,000 new cancers each year, along with 14,500 deaths.

One study found that people may be exposed to up to four times as much radiation as estimated by earlier studies. While previous studies relied on dummies equipped with sensors, authors of the new paper studied more than 1,000 patients at four hospitals.

Based on their measurements, a patient could get as much radiation from one CT scan as 74 mammograms or 442 chest X-rays.

Young people are at highest risk from excess radiation, partly because they have many years ahead of them in which cancers could develop. Among 20-year-old women who get one coronary angiogram, a CT scan of the heart, one in 150 will develop cancer related to the procedure.
