Refresh the Face Inside and Outside at the Same Time

Refreshing the Outside of the Face Dr. Dean Kane, Plastic Surgeon, always recommends being on a good therapeutic skin program that incorporates both Vitamin A such as Retinol or Retin A and a Vitamin C serum. Both are anti-oxidants that penetrate the face, stimulate cellular turnover, increases collagen and helps to make the skin more resilient from sun damage. An excellent home skin care system from Dr. Zein Obagi called the ZO Skin Medical Products is exceptional at reversing the aging process of the skin. Dr. Kane has been offering Dr. Obagi’s Medical System for over 18 years due to its fantastic age defying results.

As a compliment to the home care products it is always ideal to have routine chemical peels that will enhance the exfoliation of the outer layer of skin. There are a range of chemical peels from mild levels such as Glycolic and Lactic Acid that offer a light exfoliation to strong TCA Peels that remove layers of dead layers of skin.

At the Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Medi-Spa in Baltimore, Dr. Dean Kane offers these wide range of peels and IPL/Pixel treatments as well as the full line of Dr. Zein Obagi’s ZO Skin Health Program to help reverse the aging process and keeping the skin glowing and smooth.

Revitzaling the Face from the Inside While these medi-spa treatments are needed for the external health of the skin, the use of Dysport/Botox and fillers such as Perlane, Restylane, Radiesse and Juvederm Ultra are used to plump and smooth the wrinkles, folds and hollows from the inside out.

Sculptra, an injectable that is also a fantastic adjunct to the Retin A and Vitamin C skin care program that stimulates your own collagen from inside of the face to naturally re-volumize hollows and folds and jowls. Sculptra is the true liquid facelift that helps you grown young!!

Skin Care and Injectables work Synergistically Together Taking care of your face from the inside and outside makes the most sense when you are trying to get your optimal results. When you combine fillers with skin care you get both the plumping and smoothing from underneath and beautiful glowing clear complexion from the outside. Together they are a match made in heave which is why Dr. Kane is now offering a combination special during the month of November when you buy Botox/Dysport and/or Fillers you get 1 or more FREE Glycolic Acid Peels plus his estheticians will provide a skin analysis with a discussion of your skin health options at the same time. Call today and be refreshed and glowing at your family’s Thanksgiving Dinner.

The Most Up to Date Women’s Breast Cancer Reconstruction Options

October is breast cancer awareness month. Women who unfortunately have been diagnosed with breast cancer will need to face many surgical options to remove the cancer. There are tissue saving procedures where a lumpectomy can be recommended, a tissue saving mastectomy or a full mastectomy removing the entire breast, skin and nipple. After much testing and evaluation, your breast surgeon should guide you as to your most optimal procedure that gives the healthiest and best outcome. There is also a lot of consideration for women to consider when choosing which breast cancer reconstruction options are available to them today.

Full Mastectomy with Breast Implant Reconstruction
A full mastectomy is a procedure that is done to remove either one or both of a woman’s breasts completely;  the breast tissue, skin and nipple are completely removed. In addition to removing a woman’s breasts, a mastectomy may also remove lymph nodes near the armpits to determine if there is anything-abnormal going on. Breast Reconstruction for the full mastectomy patient becomes more of a long term process to replace the lost volume of breast tissue with implants, skin and nipples. At the time of mastectomy surgery, the plastic surgeon places the expander implants in the empty pocket and just mildly fills it with saline fluid to begin the expansion process of the very tight breast skin tissues. After 6 weeks, the woman returns to her plastic surgeon’s office and begins the process of filling the breast expander with saline, until she reaches the size breast that she desires in her future. So a woman who may have been an A or B cup and desires to be a C or D cup can choose any size she would like to now be. But this process of expanding the skin tissues can take many many months. Once the woman reaches the desired size, she is then taken back to surgery to replace the expander implants with the silicone gel or saline implants she will now have for her future breasts. The final process of reconstruction is the creation of the nipples for her breasts. Most plastic surgeons use the skin at the breast mound to recreate a nipple. Once healed, the nipple can be tattooed to the appropriate nipple color to match her ethnic skin color. The entire process can take up to 6 to 12 months.


Tissue Saving Mastectomy with Implant Reconstruction
In the tissue saving mastectomy, the breast tissue of either one or both of the breasts are removed, but the skin and nipple are kept intact.  During this procedure, cancerous cells are removed from the breast and they leave behind a small pocket that an implant can easily be inserted into.  Compared to a traditional mastectomy, a tissue saving mastectomy reduces the amount of scarring on the breast considerably.  

At the time the breast tissue is removed, implants are immediately placed in the breast to replace the volume lost by the removal of the breast tissue. Women truly appreciate waking up from surgery and having an immediate breast reconstruction with breast implants saving them the sadness and grief of losing their breasts.

Lumpectomy with Implant or Fat Transfer Reconstruction
A lumpectomy is just as its name, the surgeon is strictly removing the cancer cells out of the breast, but leaving the rest of the breast tissue, skin and nipple intact. Sometimes depending on the size of the breast lump removed, the breast can have a sunken appearance. In this case, there are 2 options to return the breast back to a fuller size. A small implant can be used to replace the volume or if a woman has sufficient body fat, a liposuction fat transfer from one part of the body into the breast can also be achieved. Women love the lipo-fat transfer as they are getting a two for one procedure: reduce the body fat in one area and then re-use it to plump up their breasts to a nice full size. Since it is a woman’s own fat tissue, it is very natural and soft feeling like your own natural breasts.

Dr. Dean Kane in Baltimore, Maryland is well experienced in all three types of breast reconstructions.  In his over 25 years of practice, he has provided women with the most up to date breast reconstruction options to fulfill their desired breast appearance and helping women feel whole again.

Art for Hope Event during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is often associated with autumn, Halloween and the color pink because it is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer and while it is more common in women, it can still be found in a man’s breast tissue.

Breast cancer can be detected by getting an annual mammogram once a woman reaches the age of 40. Early breast cancer detection can be crucial for improving your survival rates and successfully eradicating the cancer. There are a few factors which contribute to how likely you are of getting breast cancer. These factors include gender, race, age, ethnicity and geographic location. While everyone is at risk for breast cancer, the risk increases as you age. Most breast cancers occur in women aged 50 and older. Only 5% of breast cancer occurs in women under the age of 40.

While there currently is no cure for breast cancer, researchers are working tirelessly to find one. Dr. Dean Kane is a plastic surgeon by day and an artist by night. He experiments with photography, painting and mixed media to create beautiful works of art which he sells and donates the proceeds to The Red Devils of Maryland, a breast cancer charity that help support women with breast cancer and their families while receiving treatment for their breast cancer.

To see some of Dr. Kane’s beautiful artwork, they can be viewed and purchased here http://DeanKaneArt.com/.

On Wednesday, October 16th, Drs. Dean and Lauri Kane will host the Grand Opening of DeanKaneART Gallery at the Ritz-Carlton Residences in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. The gallery opening will serve as a fundraiser for The Red Devils, a Maryland-based, nonprofit whose mission is to fund support services that improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients and their families. A portion of the proceeds from purchases of Dr. Kane’s artwork and all monies from the auctions and raffles will be donated to The Red Devils Horns of Hope Campaign so that they can remain a source of hope to breast cancer families living in Maryland.
