BRA Day is tomorrow-watch for awareness campaigns across the country

October 16, 2013- BRA DAY

BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness ) Day is tomorrow. Read about events across the country designed to bring awareness of the options of breast reconstruction after breast cancer to women.

Watch a video with a patient and Dr. Peterson discussing reconstruction.

Remember that almost 70% of women are not informed of reconstruction as an option when they are diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day is an initiative designed to promote education, awareness and access regarding post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

FDA approves Botox for crows feet around eyes

On September 11, the FDA approved Botox for wrinkles around the eyes often referred to as "crows feet". Botox  has been FDA approved for wrinkles between the eyes (referred to as 1,2 or 3's) since 2002.

Botox has been used cosmetically "off label" for years  to treat wrinkles around the eyes. FDA approval will not really change anything- except perhaps a marketing edge over its competitors for the short term.

Dr. Jack Peterson in Topeka injects Botox personally and we can make same day appointments.

Change your fortune with Palm Plastic surgery?

In Japan, the latest craze is to change your fortune with palm plastic surgery.

Here is the concept. : change the way your palm is read by changing the lines on your palm- it will change your future.

All you need is a plastic surgeon with an electric scalpel who has a knowledge of palmistry. Draw the lines on your hand and let them work the magic you want. An "emperor's line for great success and good fortune, a marriage line for wedding bells? How about a money-luck line to win the lottery or a job promotion?

Angelina Jolie and her breast reconstruction

Todays news revealed that actress Angelina Jolie had made the choice to have a proactive double mastectomy and breast reconstruction. There are really two pieces of news here:
First, obviously, the decision to have a double mastectomy to be proactive against her high genetic risk factor for breast cancer.

Second, and possibly overlooked at first, is her decision to proceed with breast reconstruction at the time of her mastectomy. 7 out of every 10 women are never told about breast reconstruction as an option after mastectomy and the numbers are even worse for minorities.
