A recent report by Dr. Sapna Parikh of WABC New York suggests that the chemotherapy drug Avastin may help to shrink tumors and even possibly improve the results of breast surgery so that patients need less of it.

The report was sparked by two new studies published in the New England Journal of Medication.  The studies, which included 3,000 women, showed that those who were given the drug Avastin before their breast surgeries had an increased chance of their tumor shrinking completely.  These findings might suggest that, for some women, Avastin given before breast surgery might eliminate the need for a full mastectomy, thus saving their breasts.  Alternatively, only a relatively less traumatic lumpectomy would need to be performed.

Due to a variety of other factors that must still be researched further, however, it is not yet clear whether it is worth giving Avastin before breast surgery or whether or not it is safe.  The drug Avastin is no longer approved by the FDA for use with breast cancer patients.  The approval was revoked last November when the agency was unable to show the drug to be both safe and effective.

This means many women who Avastin may have helped will still need to undergo full lateral or bilateral mastectomies in order to ensure the best chance of complete tumor removal.  Fortunately, for these women, reconstructive surgery, scar camouflage and nipple replacement can still help to save the look of their breasts.

Did you ever think about just how much a trip to the salon really costs you?  If you’re like many women, you need to visit your salon at least bi-monthly to maintain well groomed brows.  Eyebrow shaping and/or waxing can range anywhere from $8 to $45 per visit on average.  Many women need to visit their salon at least bi-monthly to maintain well groomed, well arched brows.  That adds a recurring cost of anywhere from $16-$90 on average to your monthly budget.

Even if your waxing salon is fairly close to home, you will still usually need to drive a few miles and from the salon each time you go.  With gas prices always increasing, the cost of your trip is always increasing as well.  You can add at least three to ten dollars to every salon trip just for gas alone, but luckily there is an easier way!

You can get perfectly arched brows without going to the see your waxer more than you probably see most of your family members!  Permanent makeup offers the perfect solution.  Having permanent brows drawn on once can save you hundreds and even thousands of dollars in trips to the salon over the course of your life time and you’ll never have to worry about your eyebrow waxer or shaper making a mistake!  Experts at the Melany Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics are not only eyebrow experts, but also Asian eye experts as well, so no matter what your ethnicity, you’ll be sure to love your new look.

As the days get warmer and longer, many women spend more and more time in the sun.  This can be bad news for our eyebrows!  Even dark eyebrows fade easily in the sun, often into a less than flattering brassy color, and eyebrows that are very light to begin with may become so pale that they are hard to see.

To remedy this, many women opt to tint or dye their brows darker throughout the year as needed in an effort to forego daily use of eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder.  While eyebrow print might achieve this purpose if done perfectly, it can be very difficult to do correctly.  From choosing the perfect color, to ensuring you don’t get dye on your skin and in your eyes, the whole process can be quite tricky.

Additionally, eyebrows will only “hold on” to hair follicles for a significant period of time, not skin.  Therefore if your hairs are sparse, dye may not help to sufficiently make your eyebrows look thicker or darker.  What’s worse?  The dye can fade out easily with regular face washing and leave your eyebrows brassy and damaged.

Having and expert Boca Raton permanent makeup artist apply permanent brows, however, is a great alternative to monthly, or even weekly eyebrow tinting.  Permanent makeup can give you the darker, thicker looking brows you want without any downtime or the need to reapply them regularly yourself.

According to Siren Magazine, whose article “Why Vanity Keeps Us Poor” shocked readers everywhere, the American woman spends an average of $12,000 annually on beauty products and grooming.  That’s $1,000 every month!  When you start tallying up all the necessary expenditures such as nail care, which can cost anywhere from $20-$100 per month, hair care and maintenance, which can cost even a “low maintenance” woman hundreds of dollars monthly, and, last but not least, makeup, which most women use daily and sometimes buy just as often, $1000 per month becomes very believable!

Perhaps these numbers don’t shock you at all because you’ve summed it all up before.  Of the few women that do know exactly what they spend on beauty products each month, many wince in brief dismay only to turn a blind eye from the financial damage feeling that there isn’t any other way.  “This is just part of being a socially acceptable woman,” you may have found yourself rationalizing, but the truth is, there is another way.  Having permanent makeup applied by a talented NYC permanent makeup expert can greatly reduce what you’ll need to spend on beauty yearly.

Many women spend at least $50 per month or $600 yearly on eye makeup, but for about $1500, the cost of just one quality bag and a pair of shoes, you can have correct brows and eyeliner applied for life, potentially saving you around $30,000 over the course of 50 years!  How’s that for a gift that keeps on giving?

From breast augmentation and reduction, to breast lift mastopexy, and male gynocomastia surgery, many procedures have become available to improve the look of our breasts.  Going into any type of breast surgery, you should know what to expect ahead of time.

Before any type of breast surgery, you will have one or more consultations with your surgeon for a medical evaluation.  You may be asked to stop taking certain medications a few days or even weeks before your surgery.  Your doctor will likely also urge you to stop smoking before the surgery and to commit to refraining from smoking during the recovery period.

Just before your surgery, your surgeon will likely give you general anesthesia to ensure that you are completely asleep during your procedure and that you do not feel any pain.  To begin any breast surgery, your surgeon will need to make an incision either under the breast, under the arm, or around the nipple.  The size and location of the incision will depend on the type of surgery, your body, and what you and the surgeon agree on.

It is important that you become aware of where your incision will be located and what size it might before your procedure so that there aren’t any surprises after the surgery.  Being prepared for your incisions will also help you prepare for the hypopigmented scarring that may result from them.  Talk to a Boca Raton permanent makeup artist about nipple replacement and scar camouflage ahead of time.

Breast augmentation surgery helps women who were born with small or asymmetrical breasts to become more confident in their feminine appearance.  They can also help woman who have had to undergo mastectomy finally feel as if they are back to their old selves again.  Breast implants, however, certainly don’t come without their costs.

It’s important to understand what your breast implants will cost ahead of time as well as what to expect.  While you are pricing out your implants, remember to also take into account the price of any aftercare, scar camouflage, or areola replacement you may need after the surgery.  Fortunately, with a New York permanent cosmetic artist, these services are extremely affordable.

Breast implants themselves, on the other hand, will run you much more, and depending on your surgeon, which type of implants you opt for, and a variety of other factors can run you an average of anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000.  This cost is usually not covered by insurance unless your breast implant surgery is to be performed for reconstructive reasons.  If your surgery is indeed being performed for reconstructive reasons, be sure to check with your insurance company to see how much you’ll be covered.  Thanks to the  Federal Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 your scar camouflage and nipple replacement may be covered as well.

During the past few years, the Asian art of eyebrow threading became popular in metropolises like New York, New York and eventually spread to salons and mall kiosks throughout the country.   Chances are you’ve passed by an eyebrow threading kiosk in your local mall during a recent shopping trip.  You may have even wondered whether or not eyebrow threading can help you get the eyebrows that best compliment your face.

Removing eyebrow hair using thread is an ancient beauty practice that originated in Eastern countries like Egypt, India, and China.  Practitioners remove individual hairs by twisting a thin cotton thread to trap hair in a “mini lasso” before pulling them out.  Eyebrow threading can help to remove stray hairs and the results can last up to six weeks.  However, if done incorrectly, re-growth may occur much more quickly.

An additional “con” of this practice is its inability to create the look of growth where the look of growth is needed to create a more flattering eyebrow shape for Asian women or women of any other ethnicity.  If you’re looking for permanently perfectly shaped eyebrows, eyebrow threading is not the best choice.

An expert New York City permanent makeup artist can provide you with perfectly shaped eyebrows all year long and save you the time, money, and attention that both tweezing and eyebrow threading repeatedly require.  In addition, unlike tweezing and threading, Asian permanent eyebrows can provide fullness where nature has come up short!
