More and more individuals in their late 30s and 40s are turning to plas tic surgeons to help them win the war against middle age. "Baby-boomers readily accept aesthetic plastic surgery as a way of looking as young as they feel," says Dr. Otto Weiglein, Certified Plastic Surgeon at the Centre for Personal Surgery in Burlington. The most popular area of plastic surgery for this age group is liposuction -- for both men and women! Liposuction is the surgical vacuuming of fat from deep beneath the surface of the skin. It removes localized collections of fatty tissue from any area of the body. The single most frequent ly treated areas in women are the outer thighs, followed by the stomach. Men most frequently want the flank area or "love han dles" treated. Liposuction is also combined with a neck lift to pro duce a more sculpted, angular, and youthful jaw line. The pro cedure is best suited for patients of average weight with excess fat in localized areas and good overlying skin elasticity. The tumescent technique involves injection beneath the skin of large volumes of salt water containing lidocain, a local anesthetic, and small amounts of adrenaline, a natural ly occurring hormone that shrinks blood vessels. By inject ing this solution to the fat prior to performing liposuction, the plastic surgeon numbs the tis sues and shrinks the blood ves sels. This eliminates pain and reduces and minimizes bleeding, bruising and swelling. Although some physicians perform tumescent liposuction under local anesthesia with sedation, Dr. Weiglein prefers to perform the surgery under gen eral anesthetic. "It's safer for the patient, takes significantly less time, and carries less risk of car diac implications to have a licensed anesthetist control the sedation." Another method which com pliments. traditional liposuction is ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty. The fat is first fractionated by the application of ultrasonic energy. The fractionated fat mixes with the body fluid and the solution infused by the sur geon. The fractionated fat is then removed using low-volume suc tion through tiny incisions. This results in less trauma to tissues, therefore, less discomfort and a shorter period of convalescence for the patient. Certain anatomic regions, such as the hips, poste rior back and central body regions respond preferentially to ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty. Patients need to be aware, however, that liposuction is no substitute for exercise and main taining a low-fat diet. But diet and exercise aren't always enough. Liposuction can provide the perfect complement. If you're considering liposuction, Dr. Weiglein wants to help you make the right decision. One that can boost your confidence. One that can improve the way you feel about yourself. ()( '/(' />/v r /c TEAM a.iooioone M /U JzN N /M M 2 0 0 0 t/M CA 1OK R U N The Invidiata Team I present REALTY CORP.. REALTOR Sabalasan for a H ealthy Prostate By the age of 40 ten percent of all men have some form of prostaris (enlargement of the prostate). The probability increases drastically after the age of 50, when 50% of men ate diagnosed with Benign Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is estimated that prostate cancer is the second leading killer in men. Dr. Dietmar Bach, urologist and surgeon, conducted one of the most impressive studies done in Germany on the effectiveness of Saw Palmetto berries on BPH. Specifically, the study was designed to evaluate the effects of the Saw Palmetto extract on the following symptoms: excessive night urination, frequent urination and sensation of incom plete emptying of the bladder This 3 year study showed that all symptoms were significantly reduced. There was a 50% reduction in residual urine and a 6.1 ml increase in peak urinary flow rate. The results also confirmed that long-term therapy with Saw Wmetto reduced the incidence of surgery and was fiee of side-dfects. In 1998, a symposium on Saw Palmetto took place in Florida and some interesting facts were presented. Maik L Anderson PhD. has studied the chemistry of this plant in depth along with the various extraction meth ods used. His findings showed that all methods of extraction presently used today are equal in the sense that they yield the same fetty add pro file. This means that all Saw Palmetto products on the market contain 8595% of the fatty adds found in the berries. It is these fatty adds in com bination with the plant sterols that make Saw Palmetto an effective choice when dealing with BPH. The fatty adds myrisdne add and lauric add can act as an inhibitor to 5-alph-reductase which is one of the culprits involved in hormone metabolism leading to enlarged prostate and prostate carcinoma.

Unfortunately it is Saw Palmettos own popularity that has prompted less than favourable *While supplies last picking condirioa Due to demand, many fields are located near citrus groves and are contaminated by pesticides and herbiades used by the orange growas in Florida Bioforoe, makers of A Vogel Sabalasan lease a 270 acre field under the control of Plantation Medidnals Inc The area is secured and not in the immediate vidnity of dtrus groves or any other plantation that uses chemicals. The berries are picked only ftom this organic site ( soil samples are taken and checked several times a year). The berries are then culled, cleaned and placed in dryers within24 hours of harvest to prevent randdity and to ensure the freshest product possible. Sale price: $21.99 (one month supply) Recently Sabalasan was the Saw Palmetto product of choice for a 3 month placebo-contiolled study which compared the mode of action with orthodox drugs- It showed that congestion of prostatic glands could be significantly reduoed by using Sabalasan.
