Breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) is cancer originating from breast tissue, most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Cancer originating from ducts are known as ductal carcinomas; those originating from lubules are known as lobular carcinomas. Simply being a woman is the main risk factor for developing breast cancer. Breast cancer can affect men, but this disease is about 100 times more common among women than men.

White women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than are African-American women, but African Americans are more likely to die of this cancer because they are often diagnosed at an advanced stage when breast cancer is harder to treat and cure.

Other risk factors for breast cancer include aging, presence of genetic markers such as the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, personal and family history of breast cancer, previous breast biopsies, previous breast irradiation, diethylstilbestrol therapy, oral contraceptive use, not having children, hormone replacement therapy, drinking alcohol, and obesity. Secondhand smoke may also be a risk factor. Currently, research does not show a link between breast cancer risk and environmental pollutants such as the pesticide DDE (chemically related to DDT).
Doing your monthly breast self exam is a great way to be familiar with your breast. And also having a yearly mammogram screening is the best way to screen for cancer. Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment are best accomplished by a team of experts working together.

Eyelid lift

In my plastic surgery practice in Dallas, office blepharoplasty (known as eyelid lift) is very popular. The eyelids can make a big difference with a little surgery that is minimalistic. Blepharoplasty, is eyelid surgery that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and gives a rejuvenated appearance to the area around your eyes, making you look more rested and alert. Cosmetic eyelid surgery seeks to restore a youthful rested appearance to your eyes and the surrounding area.
Specifically, eyelid surgery can treat:
• Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
• Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids
• Bags under the eyes
• Droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris (colored portion of the eye)
• Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
Occasionally, your surgeon may recommend that a brow lift be performed at the same time as your upper eyelid surgery in order to ensure that the area around the eyes have an optimally rejuvenated appearance. Eyelid surgery is usually performed on adult men and women who have healthy facial tissue and muscles and have realistic goals for improvement of the upper and/or lower eyelids and surrounding area. If you would like to learn more about this procedure, contact our office or visit the website, www.DoctorMeade.com . Dr Meade will answer all your questions in a free consultation.

Breast Augmentation

Most women want a full, round, and natural breast with ideal curvature, firmness, and form and that could mean that the search for the best board certified plastic surgeon begins.

Because this is not necessarily the reality for most women, many opt to undergo breast augmentation.

The goal of breast augmentation is to restore self-image and self-confidence. It may be one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures performed today, but not all women are candidates. Breast enlargement is commonly performed on women who have small breasts, asymmetrical or uneven breasts, sagging breasts, and breasts that are unusually shaped.

Most women will find that breast augmentation is the right solution for their aesthetic goals. It has one of the highest patient satisfaction rates according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Almost all women who have undergone breast augmentation say they would have the procedure again.

If you would like find out if you are a candidate for breast augmentation, and are in the Dallas or Plano area, please contact the experienced board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ricardo Meade. He will be glad to answer any questions on breast augmentation. Please visit the website, www.DoctorMeade.com to see photos of several breast augmentations. Hope to see you soon!

Unwanted excess skin do to weight loss

If you are looking for a board certified plastic surgeon in Dallas that can work on making your body look thinner, leaner or curvier, them you should be looking more into the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. The introduction of the Body Mass Index (BMI) in the 1990s, gave us the controversial measurement for estimating a healthy body weight and its used for plastic surgery calculations on wound healing pribabilities. We’ve been warned that food increases, along with lack of exercise have contributed to America’s growing weight issue. Few have heeded the warnings about excess weight leading to heart disease and diabetes, but others have dropped those nagging pounds. Unfortunately, when body size increases and then suddenly decreases, excess skin doesn’t snap back into place like a fresh rubber band, we can help.
When you’ve gained and then lost weight, Dallas board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ricardo Meade can help. Cosmetic procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks are just two of several methods used to decrease stubborn areas that remain following weight loss. If your recent weight loss has left excess skin on your face, neck, upper arms, tummy and thighs, don’t let that spoil your recent success. Please call and schedule a free consultation with Dr. Meade, or visit the website, www.DoctorMeade.com to view photos and read patient testimonials. We look forward to meeting you!

Liposuction

Many of our Dallas residents often wonder if liposuction is best for them. Liposuction is a fantastic plastic surgery procedure for anyone who wants to reduce the fatty deposits in areas of the body that do not respond to a healthy diet and exercise. It is best to have liposuction preformed after you have lost the majority of the weight you wish to lose and are within 10 pounds of your goal. Liposuction is not a weight loss solution. It’s a great way to help you reach your goal and enhance your natural body’s shape. To find out if you are a candidate for liposuction contact us or visit www.doctormeade.com we’re happy to help you with any of your plastic surgery needs.

Upper Arm Lift

Today we had a patient come in asking about upper arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty. In this procedure liposuction is used to remove the unnecessary fatty tissue, then excess skin is removed leaving a scar on the inside of the arm. Over time the scar will hardly be noticeable. All though some times you don’t have to remove skin, so there’s no scar. Liposuction alone can correct the extra fat but not the loose skin. This procedure is a great way to get rid of that sagging skin we develop around our arms from aging and weight loss.

Brazilian Butt Lift

Today we had a patient come in asking about silicone injections to the buttocks. Although this procedure is done in other parts of the country, it is exceedingly rare in the U.S. No Board certified plastic surgeon would attempt on injection free silicone in any part of the body. What is done, however, is lipo fat grafting and lipo sculpting to the buttocks. Which is also know as the brazilian butt lift. At our office we routinely perform this type of procedure with excellent patient satisfaction and results.
