gentle fitness programs for toned bodies by stephanie garber

WHEN it comes to fitness, many of us have bought into the erroneous “no pain, no gain” mentality. The truth is, gentle fitness programs like Pilates and yoga, practiced regularly, provide wonderful toning and sculpting benefits – minus the buckets of sweat from a Rocky Balboa-type workout.

Pilates is the latest rage among the Hollywood set, for whom a toned body is a career imperative. Troy McCarty, owner of White Cloud Pilates Studios in Cleveland, was practicing the method long before its recent surge in popularity among celebrities. For McCarty, Pilates is not just a passing fad, but an important aspect of his life.

At 16, McCarty suffered a back injury while lifting a partner in a ballet movement. A lot of dancers were gravitating toward Pilates then, he recalls, and he began it as part of his rehab program. “It helped me develop my core,” he says. “When I went back into the ballet world, I was ten times stronger and a better dancer.”

Jody Trostler, an art teacher at Shaker Heights High School, loves yoga and has taught aerobics at the JCC for the past 12 years. “Both give me a physical workout, but what I get mentally from each is very different.” Trostler enjoys the mental release she gets from aerobics, and yoga brings about a mental awareness. “I very often have an epiphany during my yoga class.”

Though Jody doesn’t play golf or tennis at the moment, the outfits she modeled piqued her interest.

Kate Rapport, a senior at Case Western Reserve University started doing yoga six years ago with her dad, Hank, vice president of operations for Stark Enterprises. “He starting going through separation anxiety because I was leaving for college.” says Rapport. He came up with the idea so they could spend as much time as possible together before she left. “I think we laughed through the whole first session. Six years later, we are much more serious.”

Shauna Rosner of Beachwood has always been into fitness. She became hooked on yoga after the oldest of her three children was born. “Once I started, I immediately loved how I was challenged, physically and mentally.” Rosner, an independent career counselor, says finding time to practice yoga is one of her priorities.

Trostler, Rapport and Rosner all make sweating look good in outfits that can go straight from the studio, gym, court or course to the street.

That is shaping up chic!

we do it all while skimping on rest.

“There is a misunderstanding that people think they can get by on less sleep,” says Dr. Dennis Auckley, director of the MetroHealth Center for Sleep Medicine. “Sleep has become a low priority.”

Each person has his/her own individual sleep needs, stamped into the genetic makeup just as concretely as eye color. While there is no magic number, says Bonny Dudik, supervisor of The Sleep Disorders Center at Hillcrest Hospital, research has shown the average adult needs somewhere between seven and nine hours of sleep a night.

Too little sleep can have serious health consequences. According to the National Sleep Foundation, lack of sleep can increase risk for heart failure, diabetes, depression, substance abuse, obesity, work and vehicular accidents, and low job performance. It can also lead to lowered immunity against illness and drastic changes in mood and personality.

Hygiene: Keep a consistent schedule, even on the weekends; avoid nicotine and alcohol before bed; stop drinking coffee within six hours of bedtime; exercise earlier in the day; and establish a relaxing bedtime routine.

For those times when a full night’s sleep is just not possible, Auckley says napping can be useful, helping make up a portion of a sleep debt from the night before. However, napping can never fully make up for a good night of unbroken sleep. Chronic napping, instead of a full night of sleep, should never be encouraged.

If a healthy sleep schedule isn’t established, even while following the Rules of Sleep Hygiene, medical intervention may be needed.

Some signs to watch for are fatigue and

“We tried to create a family atmosphere, a home not in the bedrooms but in the common places,” she adds. “We wanted bedrooms that were functional for sleeping, not socializing.”

To that end, the lower level (it’s below grade in the front but walks out to a patio in the back) is the kids’ domain. Five identical small bedrooms with polished concrete floors and two small windows provide separate but equal sleeping quarters.

Each room contains one twin platform bed of black-stained oak with a trundle for overnight guests, one beanbag chair, one desk and one corkboard. The children chose their own bed coverings, rugs and posters (Michael also let them select from his collection of psychedelic rock posters). Otherwise, as Cohen says,

The children’s bedrooms are purposely all equal, with one trundle bed, one beanbag chair and one rug.

the spaces look like college dorm rooms.

In the girls’ wing, the bathroom has three sinks; the boys’ end has a bathroom with two sinks.

“There were some issues of privacy,” notes Paley. “The kids are going to be teenagers, and they are not (blood) related.”

The children’s common living area features a red sectional sofa, a TV and a mini kitchen, with microwave, dishwasher and sink.

“We forgot the fridge,” says Cohen, laughing. One will be added.

There’s also an art room for school and science projects. Next door is the laundry room. An upstairs storage closet, with individual lockers for everyone, is primed for eventual washer and dryer hookups.

The youngsters, who will all spend four weeks at Camp Wise this summer, also enjoy their own backyard patio complete with in-ground hot tub. An outdoor fire circle for family campfires is perfect for nighttime s’mores, songs, and ghost stories.

Kids’ domain features common area for socializing. Upstairs is a meditation room, with “boulder” pillows.

“They’re all friends,” says Cohen of the children. “They get along and fight like siblings.”

While equality is very important to the stepsiblings, Paley and Cohen also have encouraged the children to pursue different interests.

The boys each compete in a sport, and Benjy plays clarinet, while Matt chose the trumpet. Jessie performs with the Singing Angels, plays flute and enjoys volleyball. Stella and Kara compete in ballroom dancing. (Cohen and Paley have discovered that tripping the light fantastic is fun for them, too.)

RH INOPLASTY. The non-surgical or “knifeless” rhinoplasty involves injection of filler materials, like Radiesse®, to improve the profile of the bridge of the nose or to refine the shape of the nasal tip. Surgery remains the best option for most patients, but satisfaction rates with nonsurgical techniques are high because results are natural and there is essentially no down-time. facelift. The traditional facelift remains useful and powerful, but less invasive procedures like the midface lift (elevation of the cheeks), endoscopic brow lift (using telescopes through small incisions), neck lift, or fat injection may be used instead of, or in addition to, a facelift in appropriately selected patients. Quick lifts have not gained general acceptance because results seem temporary. injectable fillers. Fillers are injected into wrinkles to restore thickness to the skin or to add volume to areas like the cheeks or lips. The FDA recently approved Juvederm®, RadiesseR, and Artecol® for use in the face. Each new filler has relative strengths and weaknesses, giving plastic

surgeons increasing flexibility to address each patient’s specific needs. silicone breast implants. The FDA recently reapproved the use of silicone breast implants. The choice of silicone versus saline implants is complex and depends on the patient’s cosmetic goals, physical characteristics, and other factors such as cost (silicone implants are more expensive). There are additional safety concerns with silicone, and the FDA recommends MRI scans every 2-3 years to check for leakage. liposuction. Laser or ultrasonic devices can help to break up fat for removal with liposuction. Ultrasound has been used effectively for years; early results with laser are comparable.

Injection of chemicals to try to dissolve fat, referred to as injection lipolysis is remains controversial. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has cautioned patients that the solutions injected are not FDA approved, and there have been medical and cosmetic complications. skin treatments. Thermage® is the

most popular office procedure for tightening the skin; it uses radiofrequency energy. Erbium or Yag lasers can be used in the office but produce subtle results.

Retin-A® cream increases skin cell turnover, reversing sun-damage and diminishing wrinkles. The carbon dioxide laser reduces wrinkles by vaporizing the top layers of the skin but requires sedation and an operating room.

Advancements in surgical and non-surgical techniques have given plastic surgeons and their patients more options than ever to safely and effectively enhance and rejuvenate the face and body.

Funding a fresh look by elana pruitt

There was probably a time when the thought of spending money on cosmetic surgery seemed a bit silly, and an expense you would rather avoid. But now, it seems safe to say paying to look good is more acceptable and commonplace than ever!

So you’re definitely not alone when it comes to finding the best way to pay for a pricey procedure. Among the 11 million patients who received some sort of aesthetic surgical enhancement in 2004, each one had to deal with the matter of cost.

Whichever route you decide to go, you should feel satisfied with your payment plan and understand where additional fees come from. “Before you sign up for cosmetic surgery, you need to be comfortable with all the costs,” notes Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon Robert Kotler, M.D. in his recent handbook, “The Essential Cosmetic Surgery Companion.” He writes matter-of-factly that there should be “No guesswork, no surprises, no ‘add-ons.’ As you consult and collect fee quotations, be sure you know exactly what services are – and are not – included, and how you pay for these services.” where your money is going Talking to a medical professional about the procedure you’re considering is valuable. Yes, there are in addition to the

procedure itself. Here is a basic overview of where your money is going.

Initial Consultation: Some doctors offer complimentary initial consultation visits, whereas others charge a fee for time spent with you. Double-check that before you schedule an appointment with a surgeon. According to Dr. Kotler’s handbook, “A 5-Minute Call Can Save You 2 Hours and $200.”

Procedure: Cosmetic surgery is typically not covered by health insurance since it is elective. Yet, some procedures that are usually considered cosmetic, such as rhinoplasty, may also fall into the category of reconstructive surgery.

Depending on your condition, you may qualify for coverage.

Hospital fees: The costs that may contribute to your total surgical facility charges include operating room fees, lab fees, medical tests, anesthesia fees, prescriptions, and surgical garments. Some of these areas depend on whether it’s an outpatient or inpatient procedure.

Surgeon’s fee: Besides the sweat, tears, (and joy of course) that may result from your plastic surgery experience, a doctor also survives his own set of challenges. Therefore factors like time, effort, expertise, and demand, will impact the surgeon’s fee.

Location: Is your doctor based in a major metropolitan city like New York

City, Beverly Hills, or Miami or a smaller town where plastic surgery is not as common? The geographic location cost may not be something you initially think about when you consider a procedure, but it will weigh in on your overall fees.

Post-operative care: Many patients prefer professional, 24-hour care at an aftercare facility following their surgery. Your doctor may even suggest or refer you to a specific spot for a relaxing few days in recovery. This is an additional fee that may be costly; but if you do not have a friend or family member available to take care of your every need after surgery, then this may be an option to consider.

Finding the right plastic surgeon is vital to your understanding of all that plastic surgery entails. Therefore, he or she should be able to provide you with the information you need and address all of your concerns during “the initial consultation. taking care of the cost You know what you want and you’re practically on the edge of your seat with anticipation. Don’t let stress and anxiety get you down when it comes to paying for the cosmetic surgery procedure you desire. Work within your means and be continues on page 82 CLE VE LAN D J E W I SH N EWS

honest with yourself about which way you can or cannot afford to go.

For one anonymous 22-year-old patient from Upland, Calif., financing cosmetic surgery was easier than she thought it would be. After deciding breast augmentation was exactly what she wanted, she began researching her options. As a college student looking for the most affordable route to go, she focused on getting a cosmetic loan after learning that Capital One offered financing perfectly matched to her needs. She applied for it online and was almost instantly approved for a Cosmetic C loan. Paying for half of it

upfront, her monthly payments are $130 a month for three years; she preferred to pay a higher amount for a considerably short period of time in order to pay off her surgery faster. “It was nice and convenient because Capital One wrote the check and sent it to the doctor,” she says.

But cosmetic loans may not be for everyone – nor encouraged by many medical professionals. At the office of Dr. James Voloshin of Newport Surgery Institute, the majority of his patients pay for their procedure upfront or through a credit card. Office manager Suzanne Tavenner says a lot of physicians “aren’t big” on the idea of cosmetic loans, due to

Q QUESTION: “Why should I consider a facelift?

What are the benefits?”

A N S W E R : Individuals who have noticed deep wrinkles and sagging of the face are good candidates. The procedure helps improve effects of aging, allows some patients to feel younger, more invigorated and may even enhance self confidence.

QUESTION: “What should I expect in terms of the procedure and the recovery time?”

ANSWER: The procedure is most often performed as an outpatient. The 82

additional fees that they have ended up dealing with, such as interest rate charges of about 3% to 15%. Know beforehand whether the doctor accepts cosmetic loans.

Cost is an essential part of plastic surgery. Therefore you must know where your money is going, and especially how to finance your procedure.

incisions are hidden within the hair and natural creases. Surgery will reposition the tissues, remove fat, tighten muscles, and remove excess skin. Drains and bulky dressings aid in the healing process. The first few days after surgery should be ones of rest and light activity such as walking. Within a week most patients feel quite well, although bruising and swelling will be noticeable. This improves considerably within 4 weeks and most people return to work by then.

Facial rejuvenation by dr. michael wojtanowski

YOUR face. It’s unique. It’s yours.

It’s yours to take care of.

Your face is the first thing people see. It sends a message. It can say that you take care of yourself or it can say just the opposite.

At Ohio Clinic for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, facial rejuvenation is big business from ages 18 to 80.

“We have young people who we start on a solid skin care program, nonsurgical treatments for those not quite ready for facial surgery and then surgical procedures for those looking for a significant difference,” says Dr. Michael Wojtanowski, director.

Dr. Michael Wojtanowski has performed over 20,000 facial surgeries during his 27 years as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, and says taking care of your skin early makes a difference.

At a young age, sunscreens and moisturizers must be part of a daily routine in order to stave off the first signs of an aging face.

In your 30s and 40s, a popular choice is nonsurgical treatments and procedures which prove to be extremely effective in making a face look younger. Procedures like Botox and Wrinkle fillers camouflage specific areas.

84

| C LE V E LA ND JE WI SH NEWS | JSTYLE | J U LY 2007

Botox paralyzes the muscles in the face that can make a person look tired or angry. The outpatient procedure takes less than an hour and can last up to four months.

Wrinkle fillers like Restylane and Juvederm plump up lines and wrinkles and the effects can last up to six months.

Facial surgery has made leaps and bounds over the past decade with face lifts that require shorter scars and less downtime.

Sometimes non surgical treatments can enhance a surgical face lift when done in conjunction.

A consultation with a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons is the surest way to determine which procedure best fits your unique facial anatomy. Dr. Wojtanowski urges patients to feel good about the surgeon they choose and come armed with a list of questions for the doctor.

“In this age of untrained doctors trying their hand at plastic surgery procedures,” Dr. Wojtanowski says, “the patient wants to be absolutely sure that the surgeon they choose has spent their

years of training specifically in the field of plastic surgery.”

Dr. Wojtanowski says a patient should expect the doctor to listen to their goals and needs and offer reasonable expectations from the surgical procedure chosen.

Ohio Clinic for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery is located across from Crocker Park. For an appointment, call 440-808-9315 or visit the website at www.ohioclinic.com

Choosing the right skin care products by elana pruitt “Just because it works for someone else doesn’t mean it will work for you,” says Michelle Garbin, a Los Angelesbased, clinical esthetician and celebrity make-up artist, whose clientele includes actresses Naomi Watts and Jenny McCarthy. “Everyone’s skin is different.” According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the top five nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in 2004 were: Botox, laser hair removal, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and the use of hyaluronic acid through injectable gels

like Hylaform® and Restylane®; generally used for soft-tissue filling of lips and facial lines and wrinkles.

With over five million Americans last year opting for these minimallyinvasive treatments to improve their image, skincare management continues to be all the rage. Yet those who are psyched to learn about products on the horizon, or recent additions to designer beauty lines, should be aware that advertising and marketing campaigns will always play a major role in the launch of “what’s hot” and “must-haves” for each

Q QUESTION: What is body contouring?

ANSWER: A fit and well proportioned body is often considered a symbol of health and vitality. Cosmetic surgeons use many different body sculpting techniques to help reshape almost any area of the body. Body sculpting can help the patient achieve a lean, toned figure and improve self image by effectively eliminating excess fat and skin that are unresponsive to diet and exercise.

Liposuction is the most popular method of body contouring surgery because it allows the surgeon to re-sculpt

season, despite the success rate of many products.

Katherine Rothman, CEO of KMR Communications, a beauty, health, and fitness public relations firm in New York, says, “Buyer Beware – don’t believe everything your read.” Shedding light on the direction of skincare and acknowledging that consumers are after products backed by “real science,” Rothman insists men and women should, “Be wary of products that claim to do the impossible.” continues on next page

specific areas of the body, targeting stubborn fat deposits, thereby improving body contours and proportion.

The “tummy tuck” or abdominoplasty combines the removal of excess skin and fat from the midsection with the surgical tightening of the abdominal muscles, eliminating a tummy that protrudes and sags.

Many women become unhappy with the shape and size of their breasts after having children. Breasts may sag and lose their “perkiness” after pregnancy.

Women often choose to have cosmetic surgery to enhance the appearance of their breasts after having kids. There are several types of breast surgery that can help them reach the desired goals,

including breast augmentation with saline or silicone breast implants, breast reduction and breast lift.

She advises to knowing buzz words like: “clinical-formulated,” “clinicallytested,” and “dermatologist-tested” – admitting that sometimes these general terms don’t mean anything. Eager to try out new creams, lotions, and gels that guarantee effectiveness? Talking to a professional first may help prevent outbreaks, and even, disappointment.

Manjula Jegasothy, M.D., head dermatologist of the Miami Skin Institute, says she commonly explains active skincare ingredients to her patients and how they should work. But finding out how a

person’s body will react specifically to that product may simply mean testing it through “trial and error.”

Predicting skincare breakthroughs for the future, Dr. Jegasothy believes antioxidant creams and growth factor serums will continue to evolve even more than they have, acknowledging that consumers “want products to help their skin look smooth – not rough; younger than they look as they age.”

Garbin says while it can be worth spending $400 on a peel package, it is also worth spending extra money for the

right skincare. “I make my patients fully aware of the vitamins and crèmes that will help them when they are recovering from facelifts or extreme liposuctions,” she says.

Our variety of rising “must-have” skincare products, and those competitively and continuing to hold their own, await you.

Top 10 questions to ask your surgeon before going under the knife 1. What are your credentials and training experience?

Patients are often referred to a surgeon by their primary care physician; however, it is important to know what qualifies the surgeon to perform your procedure. Ask your surgeon if he/she is “board certified” in plastic surgery.¹ ASPS Member Surgeons are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and are trained specifically in plastic surgery. They operate only in

accredited medical facilities, adhere to a strict code of ethics and fulfill continuing education requirements, including patient safety techniques.

2. How many procedures of this type have you performed?

In addition to knowing your surgeon’s credentials, it is important to know the level of experience he/she has in performing your procedure. Choosing an experienced surgeon is one way to ensure good results.¹

Q QUESTION: What changes are you seeing in materials in dentistry in 2007?

A N S W E R : Today, almost all restorations, whether fillings, veneers, or crowns, can be made out of ceramic, tooth-colored materials that your dentist can match to your existing teeth.

QUESTION: If a person is missing a tooth or teeth, can similar materials be used to “bridge” the gap?

ANSWER: The aforementioned ceramic materials can generally be used even for bridges, so that metal or gold frameworks may not be necessary. This 88

| C LE V E LA ND JE WI SH NEWS | JSTYLE | J U LY 2007

3. Are there alternatives to surgery?

Sometimes, surgery is not the only answer. You might be able to achieve the desired results through non-surgical treatments. Ask your surgeon about the benefits and risks of these alternatives so you can make an informed decision.¹ 4. What do I need to do to prepare for surgery? continues on next page

makes the bridges and crowns look very natural and translucent, just like real teeth. The use of these materials is limited only by the length of the replacement “span.”

QUESTION: So if people want veneers or bonding to improve the teeth’s appearance and to make them whiter as well, should they still whiten their teeth?

ANSWER: Yes. Because porcelain veneers, crowns and fillings are translucent; the lighter the teeth are underneath, the more natural the results can be.

Additionally, because it is important that all the teeth blend, the shades of the teeth not being treated restoratively help determine the selection of the ceramic color.

QUESTION: Can these new porcelain

crowns be used with implants?

ANSWER: Fortunately, they work extremely well with implants in replacing missing teeth. Today, providing the restorative team plans and provides excellent professional care, the implant crown can look as natural as one’s own tooth!

Certain surgeries require that you stop smoking, lose weight or follow a specific diet limiting the food you eat and the medications you take prior to your surgery; or, there may be medications that your surgeon wants you to take before your procedure.

Make sure that you speak to your surgeon and your anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist about any allergies or about any conditions for which you are taking medication. You should mention any vitamins, supplements or over-thecounter medications as well.

5. What are the risks?

Every surgery has some associated risk. Weigh the benefits of the procedure against the risks of side effects and complications (e.g. nausea, vomiting, pain, infection, or blood clots) before making your decision.ยน 6. How can I better manage post-surgical side effects and complications such as nausea, vomiting, pain, infection or bleeding?

Some post-surgical side effects and complications are more manageable than others. Make sure you speak to your sur-

geon about your risk of experiencing side effects and complications and about any medications he/she may prescribe to minimize these symptoms. For example, your surgeon may prescribe a medication before surgery to minimize nausea and vomiting or prescribe something for pain.

7. How will side effects or complications be handled?

If you should experience a side effect or complication after surgery, find out continues on page 90

who will be available to address your concerns and when. Ask if any additional costs will be incurred should you need additional treatment.¹ 8. How long of a recovery period can I expect, and what kind of help will I need during my recovery?

Some surgeries take longer to recover from than others. Make sure you speak to your surgeon about how long it will take to heal, as well as how you might physically feel immediately following your surgery.¹ Your surgeon will be able to inform you of the arrangements necessary to ease your recovery.

9. Will my recovery keep me from

my usual, daily activities such as work?

The recovery time associated with your surgery is dependent on the nature and length of the procedure. To ensure that you don’t slow your recovery, make sure you speak to your surgeon about the things you may or may not be able to do in the first few days, weeks and months after surgery.¹ 10. Where and how will you perform my procedure?

Find out if your surgery will be performed in a hospital, office, or ambulatory facility. If performed in an office or ambulatory facility, check if it is accred-

Q QUESTION: What is a Tummy Tuck?

ANSWER: A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty in medical terms, is a procedure to improve the shape of the abdomen. In this procedure the extra skin from the tummy is removed and the muscles are tightened. The result can be a flat, smooth tummy.

QUESTION: Can’t I achieve the same result by doing sit-ups?

ANSWER: Working out will improve the strength of the abdominal muscles and can make them more firm.

However, after pregnancy or significant 90

ited, which means the facility has passed strict guidelines for equipment, staff, hospital access, anesthesia administration, and more. ASPS requires all members who perform surgery under anesthesia to do so in an accredited facility.

Also, if your procedure will be performed in an office or ambulatory facility ensure your doctor has privileges to perform the same procedure at an accredited hospital.

weight fluctuations, the tissue that holds the muscles together and the skin is often irreversibly stretched.

Only through a tummy tuck can the muscles be tightened and the extra skin removed.

QUESTION: Why not do liposuction instead?

ANSWER: Liposuction is indicated for isolated fatty deposits that persist despite diet and exercise in patients who are within 20 lbs. of their ideal weight and who have good skin tone. If the skin is loose and flabby or if the muscles have been stretched apart, liposuction is often not indicated and a tummy tuck will give the better result.

QUESTION: Will insurance cover my procedure?

ANSWER: If you have had significant weight loss after gastric-bypass surgery there is a chance that insurance will cover part of the costs. You can meet with Dr. Jason Leedy to learn more about body contouring by calling for your consultation or visiting www.drleedy.com.

tions. Make sure you speak to the person administering it to find out what type of anesthesia is required for your procedure (e.g. local, regional, or general anesthesia) and the side effects or complications that may be associated with it.¹ Often there are multiple techniques for one procedure. Ask your surgeon which surgical technique may be best for you. A less invasive technique may mean less time under anesthesia and ultimately fewer side effects and complications.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is the largest organization of board-certified plastic surgeons in the world. With more than 6,000

members, the Society is recognized as a leading authority and information source on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. ASPS comprises more than 90 percent of all board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States.

Founded in 1931, the Society represents physicians certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery or The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

The loose and wrinkled neck by dr. mark a. foglietti

WHEN it comes to gaining a rejuvenated appearance the neck is every bit as important as the face. It’s not that unusual to see an older Hollywood star with a face, beautiful for their age, hiding their neck behind scarves or under clothing.

Once jowls begin to appear, it is a sign that the skin from the face, jaw and chin are beginning to loosen. People assume that all they need is a face lift when this happens, when in reality what is often needed is both a face and necklift. If the neck is overlooked, or a lift is poorly done, the entire facial surgery can be a waste of time and money. In most cases a necklift and facelift go hand in hand.

Although it is possible that some patients may only need a necklift , it is more often the case that procedures such as a necessary chin implant or a facelift are made complete with the addition of the necklift. A good surgeon who is capable performing one will address both areas and discuss options with their patients.

The key to a natural necklift is in addressing the multiple directions the muscle and skin must be tightened for a 92

smooth transition from the neck to the face. The directions of tightening for a natural necklift are called vectors. The fat of the neck needs to be sculpted with liposuction and the thin muscle of the neck (the platysma), needs to be tightened to smooth the bands of the neck which become evident with aging. It is also important to lift the neck high enough to allow complete exposure in

A few younger patients may benefit from liposuction of the the submental (under the chin) area also referred to as a waddle. These patients do not have concerns about their jowls or skin laxity.

Submental liposuction, with the occasional addition of a chin implant can result in a dramatic improvement that will last for years.

It is important to consult with a plastic surgeon who will listen to your concerns and address them honestly.

check out these guys & their rides story and photos by douglas j. guth

SUMMER is a time for cruising.

A time to get away from the workaday world and jump into that favorite car that’s been idling in the garage under a tarp all winter and take off. These cars are not for board meetings or dental appointments, but for that casual ride to the beach or the ballpark. Six Clevelanders shared their rides with the CJN.

Bart Brunswick, 60, has a special attachment to his 1991 Jaguar XJ12 convertible. Brunswick’s father David bought the car by phone from his hospital bed, but his failing health never allowed him to enjoy the vehicle. Brunswick bought the car from his father’s estate after he died.

“My dad would be happy to know the ‘Jag’ is in good hands,” he says.

The Shaker Heights native loves the sleek, bronze-colored convertible. Brunswick’s friends are constantly reminding him just how “sexy” the vehicle is. “They’re quick to tell me that when heads turn, people aren’t looking at me; they’re looking at the car,” he quips.

The car looks and drives like new, Brunswick notes, and with only 43,000 miles on the odometer, he expects to be enjoying his Jag for many years to come.

Jeff Elman’s car story is quite a journey. A lifetime car connoisseur, Elman spent a year searching for a classic Saab turbo five-speed convertible. The Solon resident found a 1993 model on eBay, flew to Florida to pick it up, and drove the car home. The 1,000-mile trip was worth it, says Elman. Upon purchase, the Saab still had low mileage and was in near top-notch condition.

Elman isn’t the only one who enjoys the car. His young daughters, Jillian and Halle, named the car “Bluebelle,” a combination of Jillian’s favorite color and Halle’s favorite Disney princess. “My girls love to ride with the top down,” remarks dad.

Larry Simon, 74, has been collecting classic cars for 40 years, both full-size and miniature. Simon, of Lyndhurst, owns several vintage cars to go along with his 250 die-cast model classic cars. His current full-sized favorite is a 1964 Buick Electra convertible, a big blue boat of a car that “drives like a tank,” admits Simon.

It’s size and handling aside, Simon enjoys showing off the Electra at car shows and flea markets. Otherwise, he’s only put 4,000 miles (and some new tires) on the vehicle since buying it 15 years ago. Simon appreciates the Electra’s squarish body style and classic lines. Collecting classic cars, both big and small, is a “nice hobby,” he says.

In a way, Brett Kaufman’s 1987 Porsche Turbo 944 was “born” on the day he bought it – May 31, 1987. Kaufman is quick to point out that the car is three months older than his youngest daughter. “It’s like another member of my family,” says the Beachwood father of two.

The eggshell-white hardtop roadster looks as good as the day he bought it, Kaufman maintains. Over the years, he has upgraded the vehicle with “constant loving touches,” including new wheels and an “awesome custom sound system.” Kaufman also installed a keyless entry system that wasn’t available in 1987. The car has brought Kaufman many memorable experiences, he says. Giving back is the least he can do for his third “child.”

Mark Tilson “wanted something old and something new” for his car collection when he bought a burnt orange 2006 Pontiac GTO. Tilson, who’s been collecting vintage automobiles for more than 20 years, already owns a 1970 Pontiac GTO convertible. The Lyndhurst resident considers the 2006 version, the last GTO model ever made, a contemporary bookend to his favorite classic car.

Tilson has owned 10 classic cars since 1985 – everything from a 1967 Chevy Impala to a 1969 Pontiac Catalina convertible. What makes his twin GTOs so special? “They’re pure muscle,” he says.

“The 2006 is just new muscle compared to old muscle.” Tilson lets his son Cory drive the new GTO. Cory will get to keep the car if he graduates from Kent State University in four years.

“I’ve loved cars since I was old enough to know what a car is,” adds Tilson. L

ENDLESS summer it isn’t. With snow a not-so-distant memory and the first brisk days of fall in the not-too-far-off future, residents of Northeastern Ohio have just a few short months to take advantage of the outdoor entertaining opportunities denizens of warmer climes take for granted. Like anything shortlived, our compacted summer pushes us to make the most of a good thing. So, get busy creating outdoor soirées that pack in plenty of fun along with the food and drink.

It’s a place people claim “stimulates the mind and relaxes the soul,” says Odette Yazbeck, public relations director for the Shaw Festival.

Rivaling the Shaw Festival for its ability to draw tourists to this town, which dates back to the late eighteenth century, is the booming wine industry. Part of the Niagara wine region, Niagara-on-theLake boasts 17 wineries within its limits. Oenophiles can explore the award-winning wineries on their own or join a biking tour or trolley tour. Some of the wineries have on-site restaurants as well.

Peller Estates Winery, on the edge of town overlooking acres of vineyards, is known for its superb dining.

The heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake is the stretch of city blocks called the Heritage District. Colorful storefronts of Victorian and Edwardian architecture and flower boxes and hanging baskets bursting with color beckon those strolling along Queen Street.

One-of-a-kind boutiques, antique shops, clothing and home décor stores, and fine art galleries offer visitors a nice shopping mix.

When your legs need a break and your stomach is rumbling, you’ll find each little sidewalk café looks more inviting than the next. Niagara-on-the-Lake restaurants serve taste buds from beer and burgers to the finest French cuisine. The town is also known for its many neatly manicured parks.

History buffs can enjoy a walk back in history at Fort George, a British fort that played a pivotal role in the struggle for the Niagara frontier during the War of 1812. Visitors stroll around the restored fort grounds while staff members, outfitted in period uniforms, perform typical soldierly duties required of Fort George residents.
