Eyebrows are the most important feature on your face and are unique<br />

power to make a face look sexy, polished, intriguing and even wild. No<br />

many women want and need—giving just enough punch with a very<br />
subtle, defined look. Women who wear eyeliner every day will want more<br />
of a liner which is added just above the lash line. No more smearing,<br />
smudging, or melting. Clients often start off with lash enhancement and<br />
add more liner later on. The conservative approach is best.<br />
Defined Lip Line/Gorgeous Full Lip Shading<br />
Whether lip liner or full lip color, your lips lose the definition, color and<br />
the fullness you had as a teenager. Lip liner redefines the shape of your lips,<br />
adding fullness to an otherwise disappearing lip line. If you have thin lips, a washed out or<br />
uneven lip line, scars in your lip line, one that lacks definition, wear lip liner all the time, or<br />
have lipstick that bleeds out of your lip line, lip liner is for you. Full lip color, which includes<br />
the lip line, is ideal for pale lips. Apply some lip gloss or balm and voila! You have lip color<br />
in your lips. Many different colors are available from natural to bold, beautiful and vibrant.<br />

Dr. Stephen Greenberg on why Fall<br />
is the perfect time to have the cosmetic surgery procedure you’ve always wanted.<br />
About Face:<br />
Turn back the<br />
hands of time<br />
with the right<br />
combination of<br />
facelift, eyelid lift<br />
rhinoplasty, chin<br />
reshaping<br />
and more<br />
Ultimate Breasts:<br />
Breast augmentation,<br />
breast lift, and breast<br />
reduction –<br />
separately or in<br />
combination –<br />
for the most<br />
beautiful,<br />
natural<br />
looking<br />
results<br />
Mommy Makeover:<br />
Go from “new mom”<br />
to “hot mom” with a<br />
personalized<br />
combination of<br />
tummy tuck,<br />
liposuction, breast<br />
lift or implants.<br />
SmartLipo<br />
MPX ® : Light<br />
years ahead of<br />
competing<br />
liposuction systems<br />
with less bruising<br />
and shorter<br />
recovery time.<br />
Back to School… Those words can evoke fear, excitement, trepidation, stress, or<br />
relief – depending on your perspective. Regardless of your feelings about this time<br />
of the year, fall can be a very exciting time, with the season changing, the weather<br />
cooling and the holidays looming ahead. It is also the right time to think about how<br />
you can finally deliver on your commitment to doing something for yourself. Back to<br />
the gym, back to the diet – the new season brings with it the impetus to look better<br />
and feel better. Now that the kids are back in school, this is the perfect time to have<br />
the cosmetic procedure you’ve always wanted. Utilizing only the latest and most<br />
advanced products, your recovery is fast and the sooner you act, the sooner you’ll look<br />
fantastic. Get ready for your winter vacation or spruce up for the holidays with SmartLipo<br />
MPX®, the most advanced technique in liposuction available. If you have been considering a<br />
Tummy Tuck – post-pregnancy or weight loss – this procedure can have you in great shape in<br />
a very short period of time, and you can show off that terrific figure at the holiday parties.<br />
Another option to consider is Zerona ® , the newest “fat melting” non-surgical procedure that<br />
reduces inches quickly!<br />
Use this time to tune up and make a difference in your appearance. Using a customized plan<br />
of cosmetic surgery, coupled with a comprehensive needs assessment, ensures positive<br />
results. The determination of what areas of the body could most benefit allows people to<br />
achieve a positive and realistic result as well as a natural and younger look.<br />
It is often a combination of services that produces the best result. It is in that spirit that Dr.<br />
Greenberg created several packages to completely address your specific needs from top to<br />
bottom including About Face, Ultimate Breasts, The Mommy Makeover and SmartLipo MPX<br />
for isolated problem areas.<br />
If you decide that this isn’t the time for cosmetic surgery, but would like to look younger,<br />
consider “injectables,” which are very effective in reducing lines and wrinkles on the face<br />
without surgery. As recently reported by the Aesthetic Surgery Education & Research<br />
Foundation (ASERF), the use of Botox ® and other dermal fillers are continuing to grow in<br />
popularity. Exciting new products including Dysport ® , a wrinkle relaxer, and injectables such as<br />
Restylane ® containing lidocaine, have expanded the market and increased the options<br />
available to people seeking immediate results with significant reductions in facial lines and<br />
wrinkles. As you look toward improving your appearance this fall, consider achieving a<br />
younger and fresher look by combining injectables with microdermabrasion,<br />
Photorejuvenation, peels and laser hair removal that will dramatically improve your<br />
appearance.<br />
Fall is here, the kids are back in school, and this is the perfect time to have the cosmetic<br />
procedure you’ve always wanted and to start on the path to a younger looking you!<br />

Breast Surgery Combined with Tummy Tuck and/or Liposuction<br />
by Charlotte Rhee, MD, F.A.C.S., P.C.<br />
Many of my patients come to me seeking help with the changes that<br />
can occur after childbirth. Following childbirth, a woman’s breast can<br />
grow to uncomfortable proportions or just the opposite can happen. A<br />
woman’s breast can actually lose volume and shrink, resulting in the<br />
breast appearing “deflated”.<br />
Additionally, a large number of women come to me seeking help with<br />
the post partum changes of their abdomen. During pregnancy the skin<br />
and abdominal wall muscles are stretched. Following childbirth, the abdomen can protrude<br />
Good Advice<br />
Many of my patients<br />
who have breast<br />
surgery also have other<br />
procedures performed at<br />
the same time. This<br />
allows for one surgery<br />
and one recovery<br />
advertisement<br />
and the skin can be loose or sag. In some cases, the abdominal muscles can<br />
be so weakened that the individual may look like she is still pregnant. Despite<br />
daily workouts including sit ups and crunches, a tummy tuck may be needed<br />
to restore these muscles.<br />
Breast Reduction<br />
Women with very large pendulous breasts may experience varied medical<br />
problems including back and neck pain. Also, the weight of large breasts can<br />
cause the bra straps to dig into the shoulders leaving groove markings. Large<br />
breasts get in the way of physical activities such as running, making exercise<br />
and weight loss very difficult if not impossible. Breast reduction (reduction<br />
mammaplasty), is a surgical procedure which makes breasts smaller.<br />
There are many different breast reduction techniques. The more traditional method (inverted T-<br />
scar) leaves the breasts with a vertical, long horizontal scar (along the breast crease). “I utilize the<br />
Lejour technique, which leaves the breast with a single vertical incision (lollipop scar) and, in my<br />
opinion, with a rounder more natural appearing breast and a better cosmetic result.” Breast reductions<br />
are performed as an outpatient procedure and are covered by insurance.<br />
Breast Augmentation<br />
Women who come to me seeking breast enlargement have very similar goals to those seeking<br />
breast reduction. Both groups of women want to have breasts that are proportional to their<br />
body size with the most natural result possible. In certain situations, a breast lift is also needed<br />
to tighten lax skin. The laxity can be the result of pregnancy or weight loss. When a breast<br />
lift is needed, I utilize the lollipop scar technique. A breast lift procedure is very similar to a<br />
breast reduction. The only difference is that with a breast reduction, breast tissue is removed.<br />
Combined Breast/Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Procedures.<br />
Many of my patients who have breast surgery also have other procedures performed at the<br />
same time. This allows for one surgery and one recovery. The most common combined procedures<br />
performed by Dr. Rhee are breast surgery, whether it is a breast<br />
reduction or augmentation, combined with tummy tuck, also known as<br />
abdominoplasty. For those patients who desire breast augmentation together<br />
with a tummy tuck, I am able to place the breast implants through the<br />
tummy tuck incision, leaving the breasts without any scars.<br />
Liposuction is also commonly performed at the same time. Despite diet and<br />
exercise, certain areas of the body are prone to carry excess fat. For these<br />
areas, liposuction can help. The most common areas for liposuction are the<br />
love handles (upper hip area) and thighs.<br />
Patients who have combined procedures do surprisingly well. In addition to<br />
having the benefit of just one recovery process, there can also be a significant<br />
savings in price.<br />

Long Island Woman<br />
ADINA GENN<br />
Editor, Port Washington Patch<br />
How long have you lived on Long Island<br />
Counting Brooklyn, I have lived on Long Island most of<br />
my life, except for 11 years when I lived in Manhattan. I<br />
moved back to Long Island to raise my family. The biggest<br />
draw about living on Long Island is having family close by.<br />
Next are the beaches.<br />
Tell me about your career.<br />
I’ve spent my career as a writer, editor, and story seeker.<br />
I started out in book publishing as an editor and then<br />
switched to journalism because I wanted to write rather<br />
than strictly work on someone else’s words. My byline has<br />
appeared in local and national media, in dailies, weeklies<br />
and monthlies. I also wrote and co-wrote three books in<br />
just a little over one year. Now, as the editor of Port<br />
Washington Patch, a local community news site, I have the<br />
perfect mix of writing, editing and searching for stories.<br />
Your new job sounds great.<br />
I’m a one-woman show, with lots of support from some of<br />
the best editors and freelancers around, and I use some very<br />
cool technology. Patch—which is owned by AOL—is a growing<br />
organization, with news sites opening across the nation.<br />
The news media certainly has been changing.<br />
I think a big hole was left when traditional news organizations<br />
began shrinking, but now with online community<br />
news sites, news organizations are being held accountable<br />
like never before. This is a real value to the public, and I<br />
believe readers across generations already appreciate that<br />
they can get the kind of news that matters to them most.<br />
You can already see changes with community journalism.<br />
On a site like Patch, for instance, readers have the chance<br />
to be interactive. They're encouraged to share their news,<br />
upload photos and videos, post announcements, and comment<br />
… all in real time. I think this makes for a more<br />
engaging experience and allows for more voices and more<br />
discourse, which helps to keep the public better informed.<br />
Diabetes Self-Management<br />
Program at Mercy Medical Center<br />
To address one of the most pressing public<br />
health concerns facing Long Island and the<br />
nation, Mercy Medical Center has inaugurated<br />
an outpatient Diabetes Self-Management<br />
Training Program. The four-session program is<br />
conducted monthly, beginning with an hourlong<br />
individual assessment for each participant,<br />
followed by three weekly group workshops on<br />
Wednesday evenings from 6-9 p.m. Each participant<br />
also receives a group follow-up session<br />
approximately six weeks after the program<br />
ends. The next group sessions begin<br />
September 15. Conducted by Certified<br />
Diabetes Educators credentialed by the<br />
American Diabetes Association, the program<br />
provides participants with the skills required for<br />
day-to-day management of Diabetes and strategies<br />
for people living with diabetes to maintain<br />
and maximize life activities. Those who can<br />
benefit from the program include individuals<br />
recently diagnosed with diabetes and those<br />
who have been living with it for some time,<br />
along with those who have recently begun taking<br />
or changed medications, those having difficulty<br />
controlling blood sugar, and those who<br />
have experienced serious consequences of the<br />
disease. The program is most often covered by<br />
Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. For<br />
information on schedules and fees call 516-<br />

Savior Siblings<br />
A Long Island Family Fights to Save Their Daughter<br />
THE MATCH: “Savior Siblings” and One<br />
Family’s Battle to Heal Their Daughter by Beth<br />
Whitehouse (Beacon Press; 2009; 255 pages;<br />
$24.95).<br />
When Pulitzer prize-winning reporter Beth<br />
Whitehouse was an undergraduate journalism<br />
student at Northwestern University, one of her<br />
media idols was Barbara Walters. Fast forward<br />
to April 2010. Beth is sitting in the audience of<br />
The View and her newly-published book is in<br />
the hands of Barbara Walters.<br />
The book is The Match, and the family about<br />
whom it is written — the Trebings of<br />
Nesconset — is being interviewed by the hosts<br />
of The View, including Barbara Walters. Beth<br />
Whitehouse is an onlooker, just as she had<br />
been for the last several years, spending intensive<br />
time with the Trebing family in order to tell<br />
their incredible story, first as a special series for<br />
Newsday — where Beth has been a staff<br />
writer for the past 17 years —and then as an<br />
author, when the story became too big to be<br />
contained by a newspaper.<br />
The story centers around Katie Trebing, who<br />
was born in 2002 with Diamond Blackfan<br />
Anemia, a very rare blood disease which<br />
prevents bone marrow from producing<br />
red blood cells. Monthly<br />
transfusions became a part of<br />
Katie’s life from the beginning,<br />
but repeated transfusions<br />
could, over time,<br />
cause heart and liver<br />
problems, with little<br />
chance for a long and<br />
healthy life. Katie’s parents,<br />
Stacy and Steve, were determined to do<br />
whatever they could to save Katie from this devastating<br />
illness, but the only way to obliterate the<br />
disease was a bone marrow transplant. The<br />
Trebings searched for a donor match both<br />
within the family and on a national registry,<br />
but none was found.<br />
The only other alternative available was to<br />
have another child, one who would be an<br />
exact match and could eventually donate Beth Whitehouse<br />
It reads like a<br />
novel, the<br />
compelling story<br />
unfolding with<br />
each chapter, but<br />
the author also<br />
enlightens us<br />
with exquisitely<br />
detailed<br />
explanations of<br />
the latest<br />
scientific<br />
advances.<br />
bone marrow to Katie. It wasn’t an easy decision – or an easy process –<br />
but in 2005, assisted first by a state-of-the-art medical procedure called<br />
preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and then through in vitro fertilization<br />
(IVF), Stacy Trebing gave birth to Christopher, who one year later<br />
would donate the bone marrow that would cure his older sister’s Diamond<br />
Blackfan Anemia.<br />
PGD is a highly controversial procedure, fraught with bioethical dilemmas.<br />
The Trebings did all they could to be sure they were making the right<br />
decisions for their daughter. They did exhaustive Internet research, they<br />
consulted with doctor after doctor, they conferred with parents of children<br />
with Diamond Blackfan and other similar illnesses, and their decisions did<br />
not come lightly.<br />
Beth Whitehouse was there every step of the way — looking over the<br />
shoulders of the doctors, in the hospital with Stacy and Katie during the<br />
long and lonely pre- and post-transplant process, and spending time at<br />
home with the Trebings, who were desperately trying to lead as normal<br />
lives as possible.<br />
The Match is a brilliant book. It reads like a novel, the compelling story<br />
unfolding with each chapter, but the author also enlightens us with<br />
exquisitely detailed explanations of the latest scientific advances. Through<br />
comprehensive interviews with medical professionals, friends and relatives<br />
of the Trebings, and a multitude of bioethicists, Beth Whitehouse gives us<br />
much food for thought.<br />
I had a chance recently to sit down with Beth Whitehouse to learn more<br />
about the writing of The Match.<br />
Long Island Woman: How did the whole project come about<br />
Beth Whitehouse: I was working on a story at Newsday about<br />
couples using PGD to choose the sex of their baby. As part of<br />
the story, I spoke with Dr. James Stelling of Reproductive<br />
Science Associates in Mineola, who introduced me to the<br />
Trebings, a couple who intended to use PGD to create a<br />
match for their seriously ill daughter. The Trebings<br />
began the PGD process in June 2004, and the<br />
Newsday series about their journey came out in<br />
September 2007, after the transplant was successful.<br />
How difficult was it staying unbiased<br />
It was difficult not to get emotionally involved<br />
with this wonderful family, and I kept hoping for<br />
a happy ending, but in the book, I tried to separate<br />
what the family was going through and<br />
the heartwrenching decisions they had to<br />
make from the controversy and ethical issues<br />
surrounding these incredible medical<br />
advances.<br />
This project must have been very difficult for<br />
you emotionally.<br />

Savior Siblings<br />
The hardest part for me was my visit to the Zangrando family in Ohio. They<br />
lost their 12-year-old son, Keir, to complications from a bone marrow transplant<br />
from his sister. They have photos of him all over their house, and when<br />
I looked at the photos, they reminded me of my own son.<br />
You write about your interview with Jodi Picoult, author of My Sister’s<br />
Keeper.<br />
So much about the process is the same, but Jodi Picoult had to create a<br />
worst-case scenario in order for her novel to work. Geneticists were disturbed<br />
because of how extreme Picoult’s fictional case was, but so far, they<br />
seem to be happy with my book.<br />
The ethical issues are enormous. Did you find yourself grappling with them<br />
Our country is based on individual rights and freedoms. But if we allow<br />
people to one day use PGD to choose traits they would prefer in their<br />
embryos – which isn’t being done yet, but which ethicists worry about -- will<br />
we wind up with a nation of tall boys because that’s what parents might<br />
elect I wonder if my grandchildren will use PGD and IVF because, as medical<br />
technology becomes easier, cheaper and less invasive, that will become<br />
the norm. The guideline for many doctors is that medicine should be used<br />
for the alleviation of human suffering, period.<br />

Eating Healthfully<br />
Test your Nutritional IQ<br />
Have you ever bragged about how clean your diet is Do friends rely on<br />
your nutritional savvy when they have questions about healthy foods Or do<br />
you know how you should be eating but find it takes too much effort<br />
Test your nutritional know-how by answering these true-or-false questions.<br />
1. If you’re planning on having a big dinner, skipping breakfast will let you<br />
save up calories so you don’t gain weight as a result.<br />
2. Drinking eight, eight-ounce glasses of water will keep you hydrated.<br />
3. It’s difficult for vegetarians to consume enough protein.<br />
4. “No-fat” foods are better for you than regular-fat versions.<br />
5. You should eat five servings of fruits and vegetables for optimal health.<br />
6. Nuts are bad for you because they’re high in fat.<br />
7. Eating foods low on the glycemic index can help you lose weight.<br />
8. “Whole wheat” and “whole grain” bread are the same things.<br />
9. High-fiber foods can help you lose weight.<br />
10. If you eat a high-protein diet, you’re more likely to become dehydrated.<br />
11. The best mid-day snack is something high in carbs like a bagel or pretzels.<br />
12. Because they’re high in calories, beans should be eaten only rarely.<br />
13. Eating out frequently can cause weight gain.<br />
14. Beer is a good source of carbohydrates.<br />
15. Negative calorie foods like celery help you lose weight.<br />
1. False. It seems logical that the fewer calories you eat for breakfast and<br />
lunch, the more you can afford to consume later on. But when you undereat<br />
during the day, you set yourself up for overeating at dinner, says<br />
American Dietetic Association spokesperson Jackie Berning, an assistant<br />
professor of nutrition at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.<br />
Better bet: spread your calories evenly throughout the day.<br />
2. False. The standard of eight, eight-ounce glasses of water is only a<br />
guideline. For some people, this may be a sufficient amount of H2O, but if<br />
you exercise intensely, it may not be nearly enough. Consider this: according<br />
to the American College of Sports Medicine, people should drink 14 to<br />
22 ounces of fluid 2 to 3 hours before exercise; 6 to 12 ounces of fluid every<br />
15 to 20 minutes during exercise; and 16 to 24 ounces of fluid for every<br />
pound of body weight lost during exercise.<br />
3. False. While vegans – people who don’t eat any animal products – may<br />
have a difficult time consuming enough protein, vegetarians who eat eggs<br />
and dairy products have no trouble. Soy products, nuts, beans, and foods<br />
made with “TVP” (texturized vegetable protein) can all contribute to your<br />
protein needs as well.<br />
4. False. Many no-fat or low-fat foods have as many calories as the original<br />
versions. But because the fat has been reduced or eliminated, eating<br />
these foods may not give the same feeling of satisfaction or fullness. Worse<br />
yet, there’s more of a temptation to go overboard, rationalizing “it’s fatfree.”<br />
Remember, calories still count.<br />
5. False. Five servings a day is a great start, but studies show that eating<br />
even more fruits and vegetables can produce additional health benefits such<br />
as reducing your risk of cardiovascular disease. “Fruits and vegetables tend<br />
to be lower in calories and more jam-packed with vitamins and minerals than<br />
other foods,” says Berning. The more you eat, the less you’ll consume of<br />
more calorie-dense foods, which can help you lose or maintain your weight.<br />
6. False. Forget the idea that nuts or any other food is “bad.” Nuts do contain<br />
fat, but they’re also a good source of protein as well. This doesn’t mean<br />
you have carte blanche to inhale the cashews, but they fit into a healthy diet.<br />
7. True. Research suggests that lower GI foods – which enter the bloodstream<br />
more slowly – produce less dramatic blood sugar peaks and valleys,<br />
which may even out hunger levels and reduce food cravings.<br />
8. False. Food packages can be tricky. “Whole wheat” bread may have been<br />
processed and had caramel coloring added to look like whole wheat. To be classified<br />
as “whole grain,” however, the food has to contain all three parts of the<br />
grain kernel including the bran, or outer coating, the germ, and the endosperm.<br />
9. True. Research bears this out. Fiber helps fill you up, so you wind up eating<br />
less. Studies have found that increasing fiber intake is associated with<br />
lower overall caloric intake. Shoot for 25 to 30 grams a day.<br />
10. True. In a recent study, athletes who increased their protein intake to<br />
about 30 percent of their total calories had more concentrated urine as a<br />
result, which could lead to dehydration. Make sure you’re eating an appropriate<br />
amount of protein for your body weight and activity level, and always<br />
drink plenty of fluids.<br />
11. False. Add protein or fat to your carbohydrate snack, and it will have<br />
more staying power. “Combining carbohydrates with protein and or fat<br />
helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, which are digested and<br />
absorbed rapidly,” explains Susan M. Kleiner, Ph.D., author of Power Eating,<br />
The Second Edition (Human Kinetics, 2001). So put a little peanut butter on<br />
your apple slices or add some turkey or light cream cheese to your bagel.<br />
12. False. Beans are calorically dense, but they’re also a low-fat, high-protein<br />
food that contain phytochemicals and soluble fiber, which has been<br />
shown to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. Make them a regular<br />
part of your diet.<br />
13. True. Blame the portions – a recent survey found that restaurant portions<br />
are often three to four sizes larger than standard ones. And, not surprisingly,<br />
another study found that women who eat fast food frequently are<br />
more likely to weigh more – and gain weight – than women who pass up<br />
the burgers and fries.<br />
14. False. “People may think that beer is a good source of carbohydrates,<br />
but alcohol carbohydrate is different than other carbohydrates,” says Berning.<br />
Carbohydrates from food are digested and absorbed by your body, while carbs<br />
from alcohol go straight to the liver, where they’re broken down. Alcohol in<br />
moderation is fine, but forget about “carbo-loading” with a six-pack!<br />
15. False. “There is no such thing as a ‘negative calorie food,’” says<br />
Berning. “As long as it’s providing energy, it contains calories.” While 10 to<br />
15 percent of the total calories of any food will be used to digest and<br />
metabolize it, the rest will be available to your body.<br />
So, how’d you do If you got 13-15 correct, you’re a master of nutrition;<br />
10-12 correct, well-educated about nutrition but still fall for some myths; 6-<br />
9 correct, you’re about average when it comes to nutritional know-how;<br />
and less than 5 correct, you need to brush up on the facts – not myths –<br />
about the food you eat! ◆<br />

Comprehensive Solutions for Breast Restoration after Cancer Treatment<br />
by Dr. Stephen U. Harris M.D., FACS<br />
Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or the<br />
risk of cancer, or that has been deformed by treatment of a previous<br />
breast cancer (such as lumpectomy and radiation) is one of the most<br />
rewarding surgical procedures available today. New surgical techniques<br />
and devices have made it possible to create a breast that can come close<br />
in form and appearance to matching a natural breast.<br />
Along with the most common indication, the reconstruction of a breast<br />
immediately after mastectomy, surgical techniques are available to correct a deformity related<br />
to breast conservation therapy or postoperative radiation, improve the results<br />
of an unsatisfactory breast reconstruction, salvage a failed breast reconstruction,<br />
or create a breast in a delayed fashion months or years after mastectomy.<br />
Some women choose either immediate or delayed breast reconstruction following<br />
mastectomy. Sometimes the result is less than expected, with asymmetry,<br />
poor breast shape, implant firmness or contracture, implant deformity, poor<br />
nipple projection, or poor areola definition. Rarely, the chosen reconstructive<br />
techniques fail completely. While the patients’ anatomy often limits the degree<br />
of symmetry, women need to be aware that additional surgery may significantly<br />
improve the result, providing a significant boost of self-esteem. Evaluation and treatment to<br />
improve results can be done months or even years after the primary reconstructive surgery.<br />
One of the newer advances in reconstructive surgery after breast cancer treatment involves<br />
fat grafting. In this procedure, fat is removed from donor areas of the body, such as the<br />
abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs, and grafted into the breast. The most common indication<br />
for this procedure is to soften the interface between an implant used for breast reconstruction<br />
and the surrounding soft tissues. Fat can also be added to a tissue-based reconstruction to<br />

soften contours or to enlarge the breast mound.<br />
State and Federal law mandate that reconstructive breast surgery for correction of deformity or<br />
asymmetry after breast cancer surgery be covered by health insurance plans.<br />
With the introduction of genetic testing for mutations in the BRCA gene, many women with<br />
strong family history of breast cancer or women who have developed breast cancer at a relatively<br />
young age, can be tested to determine if a known genetic mutation may explain the<br />
clinical situation. Since the lifetime risk of developing breast cancer in women with BRCA<br />
mutations is much higher than the average woman, risk-reducing surgery to remove the<br />
breasts prophylactically (to prevent cancer) is often performed. Primary consultation<br />
with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in breast reconstructive<br />
techniques is important to allow women to understand the level of<br />
cosmetic outcomes achievable in each case. Comprehensive multidisciplinary<br />
care (including discussion with a gynecologist regarding management of the<br />
ovaries) allows women with a BRCA mutation to make informed decisions<br />
regarding her options.<br />
The right reconstructive choice is based on the individual patients’ anatomy,<br />
the individual patients’ expectations, and a customized evaluation of the<br />
risks and benefits of each procedure. At Harris Plastic Surgery, our staff strives to provide<br />
expert and compassionate care to women considering the many options for reconstruction<br />
after mastectomy, patients who have had breast reconstruction in the past with unsatisfactory<br />
results, or women with BRCA mutations who are considering risk reduction prophylactic<br />
bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. I invite you to read my blog, Building Breasts, at<br />

y David Lefkowitz<br />
“I’ve done television and movies and nightclub acts and national tours of<br />
Broadway shows. I’ve raised a family. And throughout it all, I always embraced the<br />
relationship with both my folks while I was doing my own thing.”<br />
These could be the triumphant words of anyone who’s made a career in show<br />
business without neglecting their heritage. But typical as the sentiments may<br />
sound, this time they come from the offspring of a very atypical marriage: <strong>Lucie</strong><br />
<strong>Arnaz</strong>, whose parents, Lucille Ball and Desi <strong>Arnaz</strong>, were both television royalty and<br />
creators of one of the most enduring situation comedies of all time. Daunting as<br />
that legacy sounds, the actress takes it in stride. “I’ve always told my kids, `This<br />
whole thing about your grandparents: it’s real estate. Imagine you had a great<br />
piece of property somewhere. You want to take care of it and make sure the right<br />
houses are put on it. Don’t cheapen it, and it’ll always stay as valuable as it is.’”<br />
Though <strong>Lucie</strong> and brother Desi <strong>Arnaz</strong>, Jr. have relegated the administrative nuts<br />
and bolts of the Lucy-Desi empire to a licensing company, there are still daily<br />
decisions to be made. “It takes a lot of time,” says <strong>Lucie</strong>, “and I know Desi doesn’t<br />
enjoy it too much, so I do most of it. My daughter [Katharine] will likely take over<br />
someday, since she seems to be the one who’d care enough to stick with it and<br />
take care of it. We might say, `Yes, you can put mom’s face on a purse or a poster.<br />
Yes, you can have a Lucy-Desi museum in Jamestown, NY, because she lived there<br />
and and because they need the business.’ My mother and father’s legacy will stay<br />
alive no matter what we do, but it’s good to function as the DesiLu police to make<br />
sure the wrong things aren’t done.”<br />
Guarding her parents’ memory, while far from <strong>Lucie</strong>’s full-time concern, has<br />
nonetheless been an ongoing source of pride and exploration. In 1993, she produced<br />
the Emmy-winning documentary, Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie, not so<br />
much as a gift for fans but as a way of learning about the people who raised her.<br />
Recalls <strong>Lucie</strong>, “I tried to answer, `What was my mother like when she was a kid’<br />
So I asked my uncle Fred, who was her younger brother, `What did you do when<br />
you played What kind of stuff did you do just for fun’ Because my mother was<br />
not a particularly playful person. I find that hard to believe, considering the I Love<br />
Lucy shows, but those were written by four other writers; they were not autobiographies<br />
of her life.”<br />
Uncle Fred’s sobering answer caught her off-guard. “`We didn’t play,’ he told her,<br />
`we worked. My father died before I was born, and my mother had to go away to<br />
work. So your mother and I were in charge of the house: the cooking, the animals,<br />
the cleaning. We worked 18 hours a day. Weekends, too.’”<br />
That explanation proved a major lightbulb moment for <strong>Lucie</strong>. “I got it. She wasn’t<br />
at home with her mom, because her mom was off making a living. So my<br />
mother didn’t have the innate instinct of what it’s like to be sitting and playing<br />
mommy-daughter games. And when she grew up, what my mother knew how to<br />
do really well was work. When she needed to calm down or feel better or run<br />
away from an emotion, she worked. Whether it was at the studio, or cleaning out<br />
a garage, or sorting through her clothes in the closet or cleaning silver – she<br />
worked. To sit on the carpet and just play with the kids didn’t come naturally.<br />
Which was really interesting because I didn’t find it natural, either. So you start<br />
to see the cycles, and you think, `Somebody’s gotta throw a monkey wrench in<br />
the cycle, or else it’ll go on like that forever.’<br />
“These aren’t hideous, terrible things,” notes <strong>Lucie</strong>, “but they have to do with<br />
bonding and what your children take from you. My kids started to act out kind of<br />
weird around 4-to-8. I thought I’d been spending an enormous amount of time<br />
with them – way more than my parents were with me. I had a nanny and help,<br />
because I was a working actress and my husband [Laurence Luckinbill] is a working<br />
actor, too. But I took the kids to the doctors, I drove them to school, I made<br />
their dinners – most of the time it was me. But could I say that I was literally only<br />
with each of them, alone, for 15 minutes a day Really focusing on them What<br />
I learned later from a wonderful child psychologist is that’s what children need.<br />
Just 15 minutes alone with you every day. That little pay-attention-to-me time.<br />
‘It makes them feel worthy of love,’ he said, which is the most profound thing I’ve<br />
heard in a long time. It seems like all the problems in the universe stem from<br />
some human being who somehow doesn’t feel worthy of love.”<br />
Admits <strong>Lucie</strong>, “I think my oldest child got the worst of it, because the older they<br />
are, the less they’re going to benefit from the changes you make. So my daughter<br />
benefited more than my two sons, who are playing a bit of catch-up in their<br />
relationships and their ability to know what they want to do with their lives.”<br />
Certainly, <strong>Lucie</strong>’s own early adulthood had its stutter steps. At 20, she married<br />
Phil Vandervort, a young actor who went on to produce documentaries and serve<br />
as associate producer of The People’s Court. “It was a ridiculous, stupid thing to<br />
do,” sighs <strong>Lucie</strong>. “He was a lovely man, but I was way too young to make that<br />
move. So I extricated myself from a bad mistake and eight years later met Larry<br />
(Luckinbill).”<br />
Considering the marriage has lasted nearly 30 years and counting, it was a<br />
match made in New York theater heaven. “Larry and I were both on Broadway at<br />
the same time in two different Neil Simon shows. He was starring in Chapter Two;<br />
I was in They’re Playing Our Song. We were with mutual friends when we met at<br />
Joe Allen’s restaurant. Larry came in to meet the lady who was taking over as the<br />
lead in his play because at the time, his wife, Robin Strasser (of One Life to Live<br />
witchery fame), was co-starring – and they were getting a divorce! Marilyn<br />
Redfield took over, and she was a friend of mine. So we were having lunch one<br />
day, and she said, `Oh, I’ve gotta hang around here because Larry Luckinbill is<br />
coming to give me some pointers on the script. You know Larry, don’t you’ I told<br />
her I didn’t, and she said, `Oh, well, he’s going through this terrible divorce, and<br />
he’s so depressed.’<br />
“Second after she said that, in he walks. And he was really handsome and smart<br />
– and kind of subdued, as one would expect under the circumstances. But I immediately<br />
thought, `Boy, he’s so unlike anyone else I’ve ever met.’ I invited him to<br />
hang out with this group I put together called `The Matinee Idles.’ It was for people<br />
who were by themselves on a Saturday between shows, so they could eat with<br />
other show people. Larry joined the group, and we became really great friends for<br />
four or five months, and then we started dating. The rest is history; we’ve never<br />
looked back.”<br />
Though she’s two years shy of 60, <strong>Lucie</strong> feels scant trepidation when looking<br />
forward to the years ahead. “It’s hard for me to believe I’m anywhere near the age<br />
I’m at,” she says. “I look pretty darn good, I feel great, and I’ve never had more fun<br />
as a performer than I’m having right now. It’s the old joke: 60 is the new 30. My<br />
big concern is that my husband is a tad older than I am, and I just want us to keep<br />
on truckin’ for another 15 years.<br />
“I don’t understand the whole Hollywood `get your face done, youth youth<br />
youth’ thing,” she adds. “With television and film, if it’s all you’ve got, and you’re<br />
terrified they’re not gonna love you anymore if you don’t take the wattle out of<br />
your chin, that’s a horrible way to live. My mother couldn’t have cared less. She<br />
wore bigger sunglasses and higher collars, but she didn’t get her face done.”<br />
When gently reminded that her mom was photographed through hilariously<br />
gauzy filters for her 1974 turn in Mame, <strong>Lucie</strong> counters, “That’s the friggin’ film<br />
business again. I blame my stepfather and the cinematographer – the ones who<br />
said, `You gotta make her look like this.’ But as a human being at home with me,<br />
she didn’t give me the impression that she had to go under the knife to make sure<br />
her face looked a certain way.”<br />
For her part, <strong>Lucie</strong> chooses exercise and a reasonable diet as her font of youthfulness.<br />
“I don’t do a lot of aerobic work anymore,” she confesses. “In 2006, I was<br />
in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on Broadway, and they had shoes made for me with<br />
arch supports because they thought it would make it easier to dance, but they<br />
popped out my knee, so I had to have a meniscus surgery. It’s fine now, but the

now.<br />

knee’s never been quite the same, so<br />
the jumping-up-and-down aerobics<br />
class doesn’t work well for me anymore.<br />
I don’t tap dance like I would<br />
normally. But I drive all the way to<br />
the city to work out with my friend,<br />
Jon Giswold, who’s written two<br />
books on fitness. He’s kept me going<br />
and in shape, though I have to say<br />
I’ve weighed exactly the same for<br />
the last 20 years. No matter what I<br />
do – if I drink like a sot on New<br />
Year’s Eve, or if I starve myself for<br />
two days, I’ll go one pound up or<br />
one pound down, but my body is<br />
what it is. Still, these days I really<br />
pay attention to what goes into my<br />
body. I follow Joel Furman’s diet and<br />
go by how much nutrition is in the<br />
food. There’s nothing I won’t eat, but<br />
I eat more things that are used up in<br />
my body quicker.”<br />
It might surprise readers to know<br />
that for all her Broadway and TV<br />
experience, of late <strong>Lucie</strong>’s been<br />
much more connected to her<br />
father’s musical leanings than her<br />
mother’s comedic ones. “As a musician<br />
and a singer,” explains <strong>Lucie</strong>,<br />
“these (Latin) rhythms have always<br />
been very moving to me. It cuts me<br />
deep and gets me where I live. After<br />
my father died, I found three little<br />
cassettes in a plastic case that a fan<br />
had sent him. They were recordings<br />
of my father’s music live from Ciro’s<br />
in Hollywood, taken from radio<br />
broadcasts in the 1930’s and 40’s. It<br />
encouraged me to make my own<br />
concert and club act.”<br />
This past January at the 92nd<br />
Street Y, <strong>Lucie</strong> served as artistic<br />
director for a celebration of Latin<br />
Music as seen through the music<br />
and arrangements of the Desi <strong>Arnaz</strong><br />
Orchestra. “We did five performances<br />
of The Big Babalu Show, featuring<br />
Valarie Pettiford, who’s a jazzy, velvet-throated<br />
singer and an amazing<br />
dancer; Raul Esparza, the finest<br />
leading man on Broadway today –<br />

Ricardo’s, Little Ricky was not played by Desi <strong>Arnaz</strong>, Jr., but by Keith<br />
Thibodeaux.<br />
•In her 1985 sitcom, The <strong>Lucie</strong> <strong>Arnaz</strong> Show, <strong>Lucie</strong> played a radio therapist<br />
– at just the time Frasier Crane was starting to appear on Cheers<br />

•In 2006, <strong>Lucie</strong> and daughter Kate co-starred in the last play produced<br />

Joanna Gleason in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.<br />
•The <strong>Arnaz</strong>es no longer own I Love Lucy or DesiLu. In<br />
1953, Lucy and Desi sold CBS the rights to their sitcom<br />

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Women<br />
by Julie Fabio, LMSW<br />
Post Traumatic Stress<br />
Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety<br />
disorder that develops<br />
after exposure to a terrifying<br />
event or ordeal. Many<br />
people associate PTSD<br />
with veterans returning from war.<br />
Although this is quite<br />
accurate, people neglect<br />
to understand that<br />
women, aside from those<br />
in the armed forces, can<br />
experience this anxiety in<br />
their daily lives. Sexual<br />
assault in childhood or<br />
adulthood is the primary<br />
reason for women to be<br />
diagnosed with PTSD. Other situations<br />
may be physical/emotional abuse, death<br />
of a loved one, being the victim of violence,<br />
or observing a horrific event. It is<br />
important to note that not all women<br />
who survive such trauma will experience<br />
PTSD. Those who do may have a history<br />
of mental health problems, experience<br />

The symptoms of PTSD are flashbacks<br />

PTSD can be treated<br />

Resolving STRESS to Heal your Body & your Life!<br />
by Dr. Michael Berlin<br />
Good Advice<br />
advertisement<br />
We all know that stress<br />
is a killer. In fact,<br />
research shows that<br />
stress causes a chemical<br />
reaction in the body that<br />
is associated with increased heart disease,<br />
arthritis, osteoporosis, type-2 diabetes,<br />
and certain cancers! Not only<br />
does stress destroy our health; it also<br />
eventually destroys our relationships, life<br />
enjoyment, productivity, and ability to<br />
earn a living.<br />
The good news is that stress can be<br />
completely RESOLVED; and not just temporarily<br />
relieved or managed! Impossible<br />
you say Not quite. The truth is that<br />
stress does not cause our problems; it’s<br />
our inability to handle stress properly<br />
that causes our bodies and lives to break<br />
down! This stress accumulates in the<br />
body and mind and can cause:<br />
back/neck problems, headaches, stomach/digestive,<br />
fatigue, skin, infections,<br />
moodiness, ADD/ADHD, depression,<br />
fears, and irritability; just to name a few.<br />

Admitting Mistakes and Moving On<br />
Fess Up and Feel Better<br />
If you’ve ever forgotten to pay the phone bill, cheated on your diet,<br />
missed a deadline, or snapped at a loved one who was just trying to help,<br />
you’re in good company. We all make mistakes.<br />
Not ready to admit yours I’m not surprised. Even when our errors are<br />
obvious, we’re likely to deny, rationalize and justify them, says Carol Tavris,<br />
Ph.D., social psychologist and co-author of Mistakes Were Made (But Not<br />
By Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts<br />
(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2007). Several cognitive tricks ensure we’re<br />
protected from the unpleasant awareness of our failings.<br />
To begin with, we feel lousy when our behavior conflicts with our beliefs.<br />
Psychologists call this “cognitive dissonance.” Because sniping at the boss is<br />
out of line with our self-concept as capable, kind, and respectful people, it’s<br />
hard to admit we messed up, explains Tavris. We’re more likely to justify our<br />
actions – “I was just blowing off steam” or “He knows I respect him.”<br />
Similarly, when caught in a lie, we’re more apt<br />
to deny it than apologize.<br />
We mean well. So it’s common to use good<br />
intentions to justify bad behavior. When we<br />
push our children to excel academically, and<br />
they wind up overwhelmed and exhausted,<br />
we reason, “I just want them to have the<br />
opportunities I didn’t.” We may fail to notice<br />
our errors or forget them entirely, because<br />
we’re focused on what we wanted to do, not<br />
on what actually happened. Unfortunately,<br />
the best of intentions can’t undo the damage<br />
we’ve done.<br />
To make matters worse, justifying our errors<br />
leads us to see what we believe, Tavris cautions.<br />
If you believe your husband starts arguments<br />
or fear he dislikes your body, you’ll unconsciously seek evidence<br />
you’re right. This “confirmation bias” justifies your previous actions (like<br />
being argumentative and perceiving criticism where none exists) and sets<br />
you up for repeating the same old mistakes.<br />
Acknowledging<br />
our mistakes<br />
allows us to<br />
move past blame<br />
and judgment<br />
and on to<br />
learning and<br />
growth.<br />
The High Prize of Admission<br />
You may fear you’ll feel like a failure or subject yourself to hostile criticism<br />
when you admit missteps. But confession can have both personal<br />
and relationship benefits.<br />
“Acknowledging our mistakes allows us to move past blame and judgment<br />
and on to learning and growth,” says Donna Marzo, Psy.D., a<br />
licensed psychologist and life coach. If you’re angry with yourself because<br />
you stayed in a lousy relationship too long, ask, “What did I learn about<br />
myself What did I learn about the kind of relationship I want” Focus on<br />
what you’ll do differently next time. “If we want things to be different, we<br />
have to be different,” Marzo suggests.<br />
Facing failures directly also frees up your mental and emotional energy. All<br />
the effort that went into shielding yourself from your own criticism can be<br />
channeled into living your best life. Admitting mistakes can be liberating.<br />
Confession is truly a win-win approach. When you take ownership of<br />
your mistakes, you allow other people to get close to you and give them<br />
permission to be imperfect, too. Satisfying relationships are built on a<br />
foundation of genuineness and compassion, and fessing up demonstrates<br />
both. Relationships grow deeper and more nurturing when you get real<br />
and make amends.<br />
Avoid Self-Sabotage<br />
Don’t get caught up in judgment mode. Labeling yourself a loser, beating<br />
yourself up physically or emotionally, and getting stuck in the past aren’t<br />
helpful. The language you use to describe your experiences can be revealing,<br />
Marzo says. Watch out for extreme statements like “I’m a financial failure.”<br />
These overgeneralizations prevent progress. Adopt the language of<br />
learning, and tell yourself “I will spend money wisely.” Stay positive.<br />
If your errors reflect a chronic problem, seek information and support.<br />
There are resources available to help those struggling with addictions,<br />
anger, overspending, and eating disorders. These problems require a lot<br />
more than will power to overcome: going it alone sets you up for failure.<br />
Although information won’t change you, it can help you change yourself.<br />
Also, admit your mistakes to those you’ve harmed and allow them to<br />
express their hurt. Don’t give a lengthy explanation of your behavior,<br />
doing so undermines your apology. Be brief, direct and sincere. Thank the<br />
other person for listening and ask for forgiveness. If it’s offered, allow<br />
yourself to accept it and let go.<br />
Moving On Up<br />
When you’re ready to move on, follow these steps to make a smart selfimprovement.<br />
First, identify how you want things to be different. Be specific. It isn’t<br />
enough to say “I want to be financially independent,” Marzo warns. You<br />
have to decide exactly what that means (perhaps you’ll pay all of your bills<br />
with $200 left over for saving each month).<br />
Next, identify specific steps to get there. If your goal seems overwhelming,<br />
zero in on small, concrete actions you can take. Giving up your daily<br />
cappuccino might be the first step down the road to financial freedom.<br />
Early successes encourage persistence.<br />
Seek support from friends and family. Making your goals known reinforces<br />
your commitment and keeps you accountable. Tell coworkers<br />
you’ve decided to stop gossiping, and enlist their support. Ask them<br />
not to include you in their own gossip sessions and to bring lapses to<br />
your attention. You may inspire friends to make their own plans for<br />
improvement.<br />
Above all, be patient with yourself. “We are going to make mistakes,”<br />
Marzo says. “What we learn about ourselves and how we respond to<br />
those situations is what matters.” ◆<br />

Women Chefs<br />
Q&A with 3 of Long Island’s Best<br />
Carole Olkolski<br />
“If you cook good food, it speaks for<br />
itself”.<br />
Leisa Dent<br />
“I have dinner parties every day and my<br />
customers become my friends.”<br />
Rosa Ross<br />
“I enjoy the physical aspect of actually<br />
cooking and the creativity.”<br />
I’m looking at the cover of a recent food magazine where there’s a group<br />
picture of 10 top new chefs. Nine of them are men. Yet again, I wonder,<br />
why are there so few top women chefs<br />
I decided to speak with three of my favorite Long Island women chefs to<br />
find out what the chef experience has been like for them. The three are<br />
Leisa Dent, who co-owns LL Dent in Carle Place with her mother, Lillian;<br />
Carole Olkolski, the co-owner of RS Jones in Merrick; and Rosa Ross, the<br />
owner of Scrimshaw in Greenport.<br />
Q: Why did you become a chef<br />
Carole: I always loved to cook, then I fell in love with someone who<br />
wanted to own a restaurant; the rest is history.<br />
Leisa: When I was eight I loved to hang out with my mother in the<br />
kitchen and I watched her and copied her. I loved the reaction of my family<br />
when I would cook because my mom went to school at night.<br />
Rosa: Because I love to cook and I think I have a talent for it. Also, as a<br />
woman, I could control my own hours because I work for myself.<br />
Q: Have there been barriers because you are a woman<br />
Rosa: Mostly I worked for myself so I wasn’t dependent. On occasion if<br />
I worked with men chefs in the kitchen, even sometimes at a volunteer<br />
job, they would give me the jobs that required heavy lifting. I think it was<br />
a test to see if I would object. I never did and then they wouldn’t ask me<br />
anymore.<br />
Carole: When we first opened the restaurant in 1993, sales reps and<br />
food purveyors would come into my kitchen, look right past me and ask,<br />
“Is the boss here” No one ever assumed I was the boss. However, besides<br />
the attitude, if you cook good food, it speaks for itself.<br />
Leisa: I have not had any barriers because most barriers have been in my<br />
mind. Anything I went after I got.<br />
Why are there so few female executive chefs<br />
Rosa: I think because there had been a bias; now I think it’s different. I<br />
think a lot of women like to be pastry chefs because it gives them more<br />
flexibility. They can do their work early in the day and leave.<br />
It is still hard for women to get financing – people tend to have more<br />
faith in giving money to men. I think women need to assert themselves.<br />
They need to be very committed. They also need to love it – it’s too difficult.<br />
It’s hard to cook professionally. They just have to let all the stuff that<br />
goes on in the kitchen roll off their back. If they get upset all the time,<br />
they’re not going to make it. Just forget you’re a woman. Let go of the<br />

Women Chefs<br />
stress and don’t take it personally.<br />
Carole: In addition to a chef usually needing to work a tremendous<br />
amount of hours – not conducive to family life – cooking can be physically<br />
demanding.<br />
Leisa: It's hard work, very physical and sometime stressful and very<br />
demanding. There are women that I graduated with that opted out of the<br />
food service industry; they wanted to have a family.<br />
What is the best part of being a chef<br />
Carole: Having someone tell you “this is the best thing I’ve ever tasted,”<br />
or when someone puts your food in their mouth and they look a like<br />
they’ve just died and gone to heaven.<br />
Leisa: I have dinner parties everyday and my customers become my<br />
friends and they have interesting stories of their family gatherings.<br />
Rosa: I enjoy the physical aspect of actually cooking and the creativity. I<br />
can do what I want. I don’t think in the box, but I can’t put stuff way out<br />
there that no one wants.<br />
Where did you learn to cook<br />
Rosa: I grew up in a household where I never had to cook. I’m not formally<br />
trained. I pretty much learned myself from reading and doing. I’ve<br />
traveled a lot. I took a series with James Beard because I needed to learn<br />
how he taught because I was teaching cooking. Whatever class you take<br />
you always come away with one thing you didn’t know before.<br />
Carole: Everywhere. My kitchen growing up, my first restaurant job and<br />
from everyone I’ve ever cooked with.<br />
Leisa: My mother. She would try different recipes – some would work<br />
and some did not, but she would try. My dad had his standards that he<br />
made yearly or for special parties. His Georgia hash was something we<br />
waited for it was so good!<br />
Who are your heroes<br />
Carole: On a culinary level, Julia Child was my first; she was such a pioneer.<br />
In a much more personal way, I have been blessed my whole life<br />
with strong, smart women who have loved and mentored me. I would<br />
not be who I am today without them.<br />
Rosa: My mentor was Peter Kump – who was also a friend. Jim Beard<br />
because he had this great enthusiasm for food – he loved food and he<br />
loved eating. After all the fancy trends, basically it’s still food.<br />
Leisa: Lillian Dent. She is a fabulous woman; she is a no-limits person. ◆<br />

Good Advice<br />
Know Your Options When Considering Divorce<br />
by Ann Block, Esq.<br />
After litigating hundreds<br />
of divorces, I have discovered<br />
that choosing the best<br />
approach for a particular<br />
couple is a crucial first step.<br />
LITIGATION involves two attorneys and<br />
the Court process. Should the parties fail<br />
to reach a settlement, the case proceeds<br />
to trial and the fate of the litigants and<br />
their children is determined by the Judge.<br />
There is much time and<br />
The mediator assists<br />
the parties in working<br />
out a settlement that is<br />
mutually satisfactory.<br />
advertisement<br />
money wasted. The distrust<br />
and acrimony<br />
between the parties<br />
increases as the litigation<br />
progresses, often causing<br />
irreparable damage to the<br />
parties and their children.<br />
MEDIATION involves a neutral thirdparty<br />
mediator, usually an attorney or a<br />
social worker. Both parties discuss the<br />
issues with the mediator who assists the<br />
parties in working out a settlement that is<br />
mutually satisfactory. This process is best<br />
when both parties communicate effectively<br />
with each other and are sufficiently<br />
knowledgeable about the economics of<br />
their relationship.<br />
COLLABORATIVE LAW involves two<br />
experienced and trained attorneys who<br />
protect and advise their clients. The parties<br />
and the attorneys work together to<br />
achieve a mutually satisfactory settlement<br />
which fosters the needs of the parties and<br />
their children. There is full financial disclosure<br />
and experts are<br />
retained when needed.<br />
There is no wasted time,<br />
thus the process is more<br />
cost effective than litigation.<br />
This process is ideal<br />
for most divorcing couples<br />
as it promotes settlement and minimizes<br />
the acrimony.<br />
ANN BLOCK is an experienced matrimonial<br />
attorney in Nassau Country, who’s<br />
practice includes litigation, mediation and<br />
collaborative law. Her office is located at<br />
100 Herricks Road, Mineola. Please call<br />

Breast Reduction – The Lollipop Scar Technique<br />
by Dr. Charlotte Rhee<br />
Women with very<br />
large pendulous<br />
breasts may experience<br />
a variety of<br />
medical problems<br />
including back and neck pain. Also,<br />
the weight of large breasts can cause<br />
the bra straps to dig into the shoulders<br />
leaving groove<br />
markings. Large breasts<br />
get in the way of physical<br />
activities such as<br />
running and other<br />
sports which can make<br />
exercise and weight<br />
loss very difficult if not<br />
impossible.<br />
Breast Reduction, also known as<br />
reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical<br />
procedure undertaken to make the<br />
breasts smaller. There are many different<br />
breast reduction techniques. The<br />
more traditional method (inverted T-<br />

scar) leaves the breasts with a vertical<br />
and a long horizontal scar (along the<br />
breast crease). I utilize the LeJour technique<br />
which leaves the breast with a<br />
single vertical incision (lollipop scar)<br />
and in my opinion, with a rounder<br />
and more naturally appearing breast<br />
with a better cosmetic result.<br />
Breast reductions are<br />
performed as an outpatient<br />
procedure and are<br />
covered by insurance. If<br />
you would like to learn<br />
more about this procedure,<br />
