Is Obesity Really an Issue?  You Need to Read This!

Is Obesity Really an Issue? You Need to Read This!

August 30, 2013

logoThe growing concern over the rise in Obesity within the US has become a conversation that many of us either engage in or simply feel uncomfortable talking about.  After all, in this day of age we spend a tremendous amount of time trying not to, God Forbid, offend anyone and obesity is a very delicate topic.  Right?

Rather we decide to tackle it head-on or if we elect to bury our proverbial heads in the sand, obesity is rapidly becoming an issue which we will not be able to ignore.  It is costing the US dearly in terms of increased healthcare expenditures related to the side-effects of obesity.  In addition, it is effectively robbing a large sector of the population of their quality of life.

I encourage you to read this very engaging and eye-opening article from the American Heart Association to learn how bad this situation is rapidly becoming.  I am posting this article to educate you as well as stimulate discussion.  Please let us know your thoughts!  We’d love to hear your insights and overall impression of this epidemic.

Be well!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer patients have them, the greater the chance they will develop complications, which may require more surgery. Breast implants have been associated with a cancer of the immune system called breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Some patients have died from BIA-ALCL. Patients have also reported a variety of systemic symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and others.

Natrelle® Breast Implants are for breast augmentation and revision surgery in women at least 22 years old for silicone-filled implants and women at least 18 years old for saline-filled implants.

You should not get breast implants if you currently have an active infection, untreated breast cancer or precancer, or are pregnant or nursing. Tell your doctor about any conditions you have, any medications you are taking, and any planned cancer treatments. Breast implantation is likely not a one-time surgery.

Having implants removed and not replaced may lead to permanent cosmetic changes of the breasts. Breast implants may affect breastfeeding. Gel implants may rupture without symptoms, so periodic imaging after surgery is recommended.

Key complications are reoperation, implant removal, implant rupture, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, and severe capsular contracture.

Talk to your doctor for more information.

The use of Natrelle® Breast Implants is restricted to licensed physicians who provide information to patients about the risks and benefits of breast implant surgery.
