Not just for Women anymore

The public’s common image of a Botox patient is a middle-aged
woman hoping to look more youthful through
the minimally invasive procedure.














But plastic surgeons say that “brotox”
– the use of Botox by men — is gaining in popularity.

Between 2000 and 2010, there was a 258 percent increase
in the number of men undergoing treatment with
botulinum toxin type A, according to the
American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

In fact, more men in 2010 chose Botox treatment than any other form of cosmetic surgery or enhancement, the society reported, with 336,834 males receiving shots of the toxin to relax muscles and improve their appearance.

I think the stigma of Botox to men has dropped, and now men are using it to smooth out a furrowed brow, forehead, or around the eyes that otherwise makes them look angry or tired.

At TruYou Plastic Surgery, all injections are performed by the surgeons and Botox® and Dysport® is offered at only $10/unit. Call today to schedule your appointment.

Breast-cancer patients are missing out on reconstruction options

Letitia, a 39-year-old single mom, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. Although Letitia consulted with two doctors in the course of planning her treatment, neither mentioned [link id='94']. Both breasts were removed. Years later, Letitia learned that her insurance covered reconstruction. When asked why she didn't undergo reconstruction at the time of her mastectomy, Letitia replied, "No one had mentioned it was an option."
Many women like Letitia do not have breast-reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy because either they are unaware that most insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare, covers it, or because the option is never mentioned to them by their doctors.
A 2009 poll published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons says that 70 percent of women with breast cancer who are eligible for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy are not informed by their doctors that the option exists.
Please tell everyone you know that there are many options for women facing breast cancer, and breast reconstruction is one of our specialties at TruYou Plastic surgery.  Consults are covered by insurance and the surgery to repair and reconstruct the breast is covered as well. What most people don't know is that usually, the other (non-affected) breast can also be "fixed" to match the reconstructed one. Meaning that we can do anything we need to in order to make the breasts match and look the best. Call today to schedule your appointment or ask us any questions: (904)638-5555.
