According to a recent study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the overall demand for cosmetic procedures increased by 9% in 2010. As the holiday season looms and patients begin to seek aesthetic enhancements for the coming parties and gift exchanges, Sacramento plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Perry says there are a number of ways to improve patient confidence through cosmetic enhancements and lifestyle changes. Dr. Perry discusses tips for staying healthy and looking great during the holidays through dietary and lifestyle choices, as well as surgical procedures like breast augmentation in Sacramento.
At his Sacramento plastic surgery practice, Dr. Charles Perry says he has seen an increase in demand for plastic surgery as many of his patients are gearing up for the holiday rush of gift-giving and social gatherings. The latest statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) confirm an increase in overall cosmetic procedures as well over the past year, with a growth in demand of almost 9% in 2010. The ASAPS also shows a rise in U. S. approval of cosmetic enhancement to over half (51%) of the population.
Because of the increased awareness and demand for cosmetic enhancements, Dr. Perry says patients should be aware of their lifestyles and make conscious, active decisions to stay healthy in order to maximize the results such procedures can achieve. He also adds that even if patients are not seeking a cosmetic enhancement through such procedures as a facelift or laser skin resurfacing in Sacramento, they can still take action to look and feel great during the holidays by eating and sleeping well. “There are three ways we have found to maintain your sanity and vibrancy; take time to nourish your body with the right foods, sleep, and exercise. One of the ways you can do this living in the Sacramento Valley is by eating the fruits and vegetables that are in season and grown locally. Also, schedule your sleep cycle and make it a habit. We feel better, sleep better and look better when we use our bodies.”
By practicing healthy lifestyle choices, Dr. Perry says patients can fight the inevitable stresses of the holidays and feel confident in their bodies. However, he also says that sometimes living healthy and staying active can still fall short of a person’s desired aesthetic appearance and can take more time than many have available. Through enhancements such as a mommy makeover in Sacramento, Dr. Perry says plastic surgery can give patients the extra emphasis to naturally complement their body. He adds that there are a number of procedures that can increase confidence and happiness in patients. “Facelifts and liposuction are also popular this season as they afford a more dramatic change to the appearance and can be an early Christmas present to one’s self.”
Regardless of whether patients are seeking a cosmetic enhancement through plastic surgery or a healthy change in their daily routines before the holidays, Dr. Perry suggests consulting with a board-certified surgeon before undergoing any type of procedure. He also adds that selecting a dedicated and passionate doctor will ensure the best results for each individual’s needs. “It is always a very individualized choice and an exciting time to be making changes for the upcoming year.”

Plastic Surgeon in Sacramento Discusses Possibility of Surgically Implanted Bombs
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was recently briefed by the federal government on new intelligence that shows terrorists could be using breast implants as surgically implanted bombs. At his Sacramento plastic surgery practice, Dr. Charles Perry discusses the likelihood of such an event, and how a terrorist could turn a procedure like breast augmentation into a potentially destructive threat.
The federal government recently briefed the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on the potential threat of breast implant bombs. While the information does not constitute an immediate threat, Sacramento plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Perry says the ability to turn breast implants into bombs is a real possibility. “Conceivably, a sterile device could be manufactured that would detonate inside a breast implant. All it would need is a propellant, an igniter, and a detonating receiver.”
However, Dr. Perry says he finds it extremely difficult to believe any doctor would so blatantly ignore their Hippocratic oath to do no harm. He adds that even if a doctor were to cast aside his extensive training and commitment to helping people, the breast implants turned explosive devices would have a different appearance and feel.
Despite the ability to conceal a device from the naked eye, Dr. Perry believes the advanced body imaging devices used by the TSA would be able to detect a breast implant bomb. However, he adds that while a device someone had swallowed or implanted elsewhere on the body would look suspicious, a device within a breast implant may not warrant a red flag.
Regardless of the potential that exists for using cosmetic enhancement procedures such as breast augmentation to carry out a terrorist plot, Dr. Perry says he remains doubtful. While this may be a viable option conceptually, now that the TSA and federal government are aware of the threat, he says the ability to successfully implant and detonate a breast implant bomb seems unlikely.

Dr. Perry Discusses Living Well in Sacramento, CA
Dr. Charles Perry recently decided to practice what he preached to his Sacramento plastic surgery patients. As he turned 40, he says he was compelled to follow the methods for aging well he commonly stresses at his practice, which includes a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and aesthetic maintenance with minimally-invasive procedures such as BOTOX injections®, dermal fillers, and Restylane.
Dr. Charles Perry is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Sacramento, CA. As he turned 40, he says he decided it was time to start following the advice he gives his patients by implementing some better lifestyle habits. In a recent post entitled “Purpose Driven Plastic Surgery – Aging, Diet, and Exercise,” Dr. Perry describes the steps he took to get in shape and lose weight, as well as the common signs of aging that can be delayed through well-known minimally-invasive procedures, such as BOTOX Injections®, Juvederm, and Restylane.
As summer approaches, Dr. Perry says many of his patients consider a wide range of procedures to help them prepare their bodies for the season. While common consultations address surgical cosmetic enhancement procedures ranging from breast augmentation to liposuction, Dr. Perry says he also stresses the need for a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, as well as less-invasive procedures to help patients maintain their dedication to looking and feeling good.
In the recent post, he outlines his approach to losing weight by being more food-conscious and deciding to train for Olympic and half Ironman Triathlons. However, in the post he also discusses the side-effects of losing weight later in life, and says he has had to adjust his skin maintenance plan, so he will continue to look as young as he feels.
Ultimately, Dr. Perry says the changes he made helped him regain his zest for life after losing over 35 pounds and 7 inches around his waist. He adds that he hopes his experience provides a source of inspiration for his patients as they pursue the body they desire ahead of the approaching summer season.

Dr. Charles Perry Donates Skin from Various Plastic Surgery Procedures
Dr. Charles Perry, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Sacramento, CA, is helping his patients provide an invaluable gift to those who have survived cancer, as well as burn and trauma victims. By participating in the Living Skin Donation program, in cooperation with the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF), Dr. Perry is helping patients donate skin following a body contouring procedure, such as tummy tucks or after weight loss plastic surgery.
At his Sacramento plastic surgery practice, Chrysalis Cosmetics, Charles Perry, MD is teaming up with his current patients and the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF) to provide life-changing skin and tissue donations through the Living Skin Donation program. MTF is the largest tissue bank in the nation and is dedicated to connecting donors with surgeons such as Dr. Perry to provide living skin to a varied spectrum of patients in need, ranging from breast cancer survivors to burn and trauma victims. “We at Chrysalis Cosmetics feel it is very important to be involved in this donation process for both parties involved.”
Following an in-depth screening process to ensure each patient is well suited to donate tissue, Dr. Perry says he and his specially-trained team harvest and prepare the skin, then send it to the MTF collection facility. In the past, he says the practice donated skin to other tissue banks or researchers for laser studies, but settled on MTF as the primary receiver of their patients’ tissue donations because the feedback the organization provides patients is exceptional.
Chrysalis Cosmetics patients initially urged Dr. Perry to get involved with the Living Skin Donation program because they were upset the tissue was discarded following their tummy tuck or post-bariatric procedure. “The donation process is often very fulfilling for both parties. The person donating feels as though they have done something good with their unneeded skin, and often comments that it feels like the right thing to do as they begin their new life.”
About MTF
Over 900,000 Americans receive tissue transplants each year to replace bone, tendons and ligaments lost to a number of causes, including cancer, severe trauma, and degenerative diseases. The Musculoskeletal Transplantation Foundation is the nation’s largest tissue bank committed to providing quality tissue through excellence in education, research, recovery and care for all parties involved. As a non-profit organization, MTF is dedicated to connecting donors with surgeons and transplant recipients. Since its inception in 1987, MTF has distributed more than 3 million grafts for transplantation from more than 100,000 donors.

Dr. Perry has incorporated an array of the most technologically advanced http://www.rosemontmedia.com/products/website-design-services medical website design features in collaboration with the designers and writers at Rosemont Media ® in San Diego.
