What Women Want Articles: Rebecca's Page
We make choices. I chose to have personalized cosmetic plastic surgery by Dr. Flynn to make a positive change in my life. Choosing to have cosmetic surgery by Dr. Flynn is choosing to have cosmetic surgery that is performed in an exceptional manner. This choice has positively affected my perception of who I am and has greatly improved my quality of life. Isn’t that what we want? Life style can impact health and beauty. The three most important elements in a healthy life style are not smoking, exercise and nutrition. The single most important thing that you can do even before your diet and nutrition is to burn calories and not have the sedentary life style that many Americans have today. Good nutrition involves eating properly when you eat and taking vitamin supplements as an added insurance policy. Which Vitamins Should I Take? Dr. Flynn suggests first taking a multivitamin with minerals. Add to the regimen antioxidants and other supplements including vitamin C at 1,000 mg daily; vitamin E at 400 - 800 IU; beta-carotene at 25,000 IU; selenium at 50 - 200 mcg; vitamin B6 at 50 mg; fish oil capsules; pantothenic acid at 250 mg; soy lecithin at 1,200 mg; chromium picolinate at 400 - 800 mcg; calcium at 1,000 mg; coenzyme Q10 at 60 mg; and others. Patients with healthy diets might very well be getting the minimum daily requirements needed to prevent deficiency status. However, Dr. Flynn feels it is better to have the peace of mind that at no time do you have a deficiency that interferes with optimum health. Dr. Flynn feels that it is his responsibility to tell patients in good conscience that anyone who invests effort to improve their appearance through surgery must also adopt a healthy life style. This means no smoking, moderate drinking, exercise and proper nutrition, which includes taking vitamin and mineral supplements as an insurance policy. Topical Vitamins Vitamin A Prescription vitamin As includes retinA or Renova® with newer prescription topical agents being triluma cream (fluocinolone acetinide 0.01%, hydroquinone 4%, tritinoin 0.05%) which is a lightening agent. Over the counter products include retinol as the most active form. The importance of vitamin A is that it enhances skin elasticity and increases epidermal and dermal thickening. It reverses the signs of photo damaged skin and it really does help to repair the skin on a molecular level. So, no matter what the skin care regimen is going to be, retinol or any vitamin A is an essential part of it. Dr. Flynn feels that all of his patients should be on a topical vitamin A and will prescribe these for you. Other Vitamins Topical vitamin C is an important anti-inflammatory agent. They have also been shown to inhibit tyrosinase and, in cell cultures to stimulate collagen production. Dr. Flynn prescribes the Skinceuticals® line vitamin C. Topical vitamin E is also helpful and protective. It is protective against oxidative stress from ultraviolet light or ozone. Sunscreen is of utmost importance. Dr. Flynn recommends a micronized zinc oxide because this product blocks both the UVA and UVB rays which cause aging. Ask Susan in Dr. Flynn's office about purchasing the Skinceuticals® zinc oxide sunscreen. Baby Boomers: Riding the Wave of the Future The last of the baby boomers turn 40. The baby boom generation extended from 1946 to 1964. These are the adults who are in the forty to sixty year old group. There is no doubt that boomers are really aware of the aging changes, and they don't hesitate to have surgery compared with the generation before. It is estimated that baby boomers comprise more than half of all cosmetic surgery patients. Still young at heart by most estimation, the surge in cosmetic surgeries performed on the largest population group in American history, proves that boomers won't grow old gracefully. Conversely, they will fight the aging process by whatever means they know. Cosmetic plastic surgery is the likely battle ground for such events. Baby boomers are not only looking for the right procedure, they are also looking for strong customer service, the hallmark of service providers that have been successful in keeping boomers coming back. Dr. Flynn's plastic surgery business is clinical, but it is comfortable and very service oriented. Patients know that they are getting the very best in cosmetic plastic surgery in a comfortable and nurturing setting. GEN-X

It is the little things that make life so precious, so wonderful. The beauty of a rose, laughter with friends, the touch of someone’s hand, someone calls your name are some of the things which reveal to us how sweet life can be. These things make us glad to be alive. Less is more. Japanese Haiku, Tuscan style cooking, Scandinavian design are a few examples. Similarly it’s the small things in what Dr. Flynn does that are so important. As a patient of Dr. Flynn’s, I know that in cosmetic facial enhancement, it is so often true that less is more. I don’t want to look different’ I just want to look better. I’d rather have no surgery at all than have someone say I look different. With Dr. Flynn’s help, I feel good about myself and that’s exactly what I wanted.
