Plastic Surgery Blog: Push It!
By admin | February 5, 2010
When most of think about pushups we think of the military and an angry drill sargent. A recent local article revealed that push ups are an amazing upper body exercise that incorporates strength, balance, and stability. When pushups are done correctly they can work multiple muscle groups such as the pecs, deltoids, scapular muscles, rotator cuff, triceps, and even the upper back. Pushups can also affect posture so we sit up straighter. The article reveals helpful hints on perfecting the push ups and even different placed to do push ups such as the desk, wall, and even the kitchen counters.
Many women who incorporate an upper body workout into their routine may notice that their breast tissue decreases as they add muscle tone. Typically an athletic shape means small breasts. With Dr. Wilcox and Dulin this does not have to be the case. In fact, active, healthy women with small breasts are the perfect candidates for the TUBA method of breast augmentation. This method is “scar-less” and gives the patients implants through the navel which leaves a very natural looking appearance and often a better recovery.

Plastic Surgery Blog: Change our Health, Change our Future
By admin | February 4, 2010
Many of us have heard the myth that green leafy vegetables can fight off cancer but a new
local video suggests this is not entirely the case. One diet won’t fight off cancer but 35% of cancers can be avoided from eating nutritional foods. The video suggested consuming quality food over quantity of food by eating well we can ultimately strive to eat less.
local video suggests this is not entirely the case. One diet won’t fight off cancer but 35% of cancers can be avoided from eating nutritional foods. The video suggested consuming quality food over quantity of food by eating well we can ultimately strive to eat less.
Eating well will not only lower risks of long term diseases but will keep our bodies in top physical shape with the help of exercise. For those seeking a leaner, toned physical shape body contouring plastic surgery procedures are optimal.
Dr.’s Wilcox and Dulin offer liposuction, ultrasound liposuction, tummy tucks, arm lifts, butt lifts, butt augmentation, thighplasty, and a mix of many contouring procedures by total body contoruing. These procedures are all aimed at creating a more visually appealing shape by removing excess fat deposits and skin and creating a firmer image. Women who seek to add additional contour to the body may opt to enhance the breast through the breast augmentation procedure or lift them by undergoing a breast lift.

Plastic Surgery Blog: Myth of the Mid-Life Crisis
By admin | February 3, 2010
A recent local article revealed that the Mid Life Crisis is indeed a myth. New evidence suggests that the first half of life is simply good training for the second half. A rich and fruitful life after fifty is possible. In the first half of life many are under financial stress, paying car payments, mortgages, and childcare expenses while in the second half many are under less financial stress and have certainty and security.
Feeling good shouldn’t be limited to the second half of our lives-we deserve to look good also. The looks of the 20’s and 30’s are almost wasted if we lived our lives in uncertainty, fear, and financial worries. Dr. Wilcox and Dulin offer facial surgical procedures for the middle aged individuals who desire a more youthful appearance.
A facelift is an option for those with severe wrinkles or several areas of sagging skin on the face. A brow or forehead lift is optimal for wrinkles and sagging above the brow line and an eye lift helps remove sagging skin from covering the eyes.

Plastic Surgery Blog: Thin and Fat at the Same Time
By admin | February 2, 2010
You may not appear to be “fat” but a recent local article reveals that “
Thin Fat People Walk Among Us.”Articles such as this one are a shocking example of why there is such high anxiety over weight, body image, and eating disorders in mainstream society. They urge that “looks can be deceiving” and that those with normal body mass index suffered from the same conditions as obese people such as heart disease and high blood pressure. While this information may be true one source suggested that studies like this drive readers to more “insecurities” and that “life can not be perfect.” After all, the body does need fat to function.

Dr.’s Wilcox and Dulin want patients to know that plastic surgery is never an alternative to escape insecurities because we are being fed negative information from the media constantly. For example, breast augmentation is a commonly requested procedure for many women. The perfect patient is one who desires to have larger breast but doesn’t believe that she needs them to be happy or to feel fulfilled. Separating wants from needs is essential because this saves the patients from becoming obsessed and undergoing many unnecessary procedures and cuts back on the needs of breast revision from choosing the wrong surgeons. Dr.’s Wilcox and Dulin also offer the Tuba method of inserting the breast implants through the navel creating a scar-less and very natural looking result.

Plastic surgery blog : Ft Worth seeing double?
By admin | January 29, 2010
Our local channel WFAA recently ran a story about an explosion of twins in Fort Worth. There have been 18 sets born since December 1st 2009. The hospital handles high risk pregnancies and is used to multiple births, just not so many at one time. The parents are thrilled with their double bundles.
With this trend Drs Wilcox and Dulin see more patients post multiple pregnancy. The patients are often distressed as their stomach stretched considerably to carry multiple babies. Often times an abdominoplasty will remove most of the skin, but in some extreme cases a second surgery will be needed to make the abdomen completely flat. The breast have usually become very stretched out and breast feeding two or more babies takes its toll on the breast. Dr’s Wilcox and Dulin explain that once the patient is finished breast feeding she will be an excellent candidate for a breast lift and breast augmentation. The important point that Drs Wilcox and Dulin express is that patients should not become discouraged about the changes to their bodies. Mostly every concern that they have with their body as a result of the pregnancy Drs Wilcox and Dulin can help.

Plastic surgery blog : Make-up Goals for 2010
By admin | January 28, 2010
Our local channel WFAA recently ran a story about creating make-up goals for 2010. The story reiterated what doctors have said for a long time. You must wear sunscreen every day. Rain or shine the sun is damaging. It offered other helpful tidbits, such as cleaning make-up brushes weekly and purchasing make-up from MAC because of their incentives for recycling containers. Make-up is an added benefit when beauty is your goal.
Drs Wilcox and Dulin believe that part of what helps with self-esteem is a healthy sense of beauty. Patients say things like “I saw a picture of myself and all I could focus on was my big nose“. (Sometimes patients are unhappy with the way they look in a captured picture of their profile.) While there are make-up tips for contouring, to make a persons nose appear smaller, for some it is not enough. Drs Wilcox and Dulin may recommend rhinoplasty. This procedure will reshape the nose and if desired shorten the length. Patients are often surprised to discover that rhinoplasty is a rather straight forward procedure and that the initial healing is within the first few weeks. Most patients are sorry that they waited so long.

Plastic surgery blog : Happiness is a choice
By admin | January 27, 2010
How many times have we heard someone in our lives (maybe ourselves) say “ I am just not happy”? A recent report on local channel 11 interviewed “happiness experts” about finding happiness and keeping it. The experts known as positive psychologist agreed that happiness must be pursued and doesn’t just happen. Experts agree that happiness is selfish in that if you’re not happy no one else close to you will be either. They also warn against “toxic relationships”, as they steal your happiness.
Dr ’sWilcox and Dulin realize that there is a common misconception that plastic surgery patients are unhappy pathetic people who have body image issues. Nothing could be further from the truth. The overwhelming majority of patients seeking breast augmentation, facelifts, rhinoplasty and other plastic surgery procedures are often confident and stable people who have made a proactive decision to change what they do not like about their body. The large majority of patients who have had plastic surgery are extremely happy with their decision.

Plastic surgery blog:Newborns getting lighter
By admin | January 26, 2010
A drop in newborn birth weights was reported in Dallas health news. The study which was nationwide found a drop of only a few ounces but there was cause for concern because obesity rates among children are on the rise. The study was puzzling because with birth weights down that would mean children are packing on the pounds through their formidable years of 1-7.
Dr’s Wilcox and Dulin find obesity in mothers postpartum not to always be the result of a big baby. Many women are gaining so much weight during pregnancy that it becomes nearly impossible to loose it all once the baby is born. Dr’s Wilcox and Dulin encourage the mothers to loose as much weight as possible but once they are at a stable weight then an abdominoplasty and liposuction could help to improve the shape of the body considerably. Abdominoplasty actually removes excess skin and often stretch marks are removed with the excess skin. For women who are not close to their ideal body weight and abdominoplasty and liposuction could be just the right option to help give the patient the motivation to keep working out and eating healthy.

Plastic surgery blog : Cleanse to loose weight? Effective or temporary?
By admin | January 25, 2010
New year, new you is plastered on just about every display in January. Especially on the weight loss products. Fasting and cleansing the colon has become very popular lately. A recent NBC local report stated that people do loose weight from the cleansing. But they also gain it back. According to the report, what basically is happening is the person is starving themselves. After one of these diets, the body is left malnourished and missing important nutrients.
Dr’s Wilcox and Dulin need to be informed if a patient scheduled for surgery is fasting. It would be important to add supplements to ensure a smooth recovery. Dr’s Wilcox and Dulin help their patients to understand that fasting will not loose weight in a specific place. If they are unhappy with their thighs or abdomen than liposuction is a much more safe and effective option for slimming the body. Dr’s Wilcox and Dulin encourgage their patients not to obsess about a certain weight, but to concentrate more on their shapes, how their clothes fit, and maintaining a consistent, and stable weight.

Plastic surgery blog : The internet is a source for information but proceed with caution
By admin | January 22, 2010
If you are not using the internet you are part of a very small minority. Globally it is the fastest way to disseminate information. The recent earthquake in Haiti proved this. The internet and social networking sites were the only way to get information early on. A recent Dallas news article reported on the “other side” of the information super highway. The article pointed out that the information published online is largely unverified. Unlike the information on television which must comply with federal guidelines the internet is exempt from these guidelines for the most part. This is a concern in the plastic surgery industry as many patients rely on the information on the internet to help them make their plastic surgery decisions.
Dr Wilcox and Dulin point out to every patient the importance of meeting the doctors in person for a consultation. Their informative website provides valuable information; however nothing takes the place of an in person consultation. The more unique procedures like buttock lifts, and revision surgery are less likely to offer a vast amount of information on line. Plastic surgery; although it is the safest surgery to have performed, requires a balance of research and personal information in order to make the best plastic surgery decisions.
