Cosmetic surgery: Is it right for you?

Nobody’s perfect, right?

While that’s true,

people often feel better

about themselves when they

do something to improve their

appearance — whether it’s weight

loss, a new outfit or cosmetic

surgery. But cosmetic surgery is

not for everyone. So when does it

make sense to take the plunge and

elect to have a cosmetic procedure?

Hans Serleth, MD, a plastic surgeon

at Grand Itasca Clinic & Hospital,

provides some answers.

are you a gooD caNDiDate?“It’s important to be honest with

yourself,” says Dr. Serleth. “If you’re

expecting a cosmetic procedure

to drastically change your life —

it’s best to think twice. The most

viable candidates for cosmetic or

plastic surgery understand that

changing their appearance might

make them look and feel better,

but they don’t expect that their

lives will completely change.”

Studies show that successful

candidates typically have a stable

mental attitude and strong self-

esteem before the procedure.*

Cosmetic surgery is used to change

the physical appearance of body

parts that function normally,

yet the person is unhappy with

how they look. This differs from

reconstructive surgery that

corrects parts of the body that

don’t function properly due to

congenital defects, injury, or

disease.** Dr. Serleth performs

both types of procedures at

Grand Itasca.

“With cosmetic surgery, we start

by evaluating a potential patient to

make sure he or she is considering

surgery for the right reasons and

that expectations are realistic,”

Dr. Serleth explains. The surgeon

will also want to find out if the

patient is mentally and emotionally

prepared to deal with minimal

and/or drastic changes to his

or her appearance and how the

changes may affect his or her life.

KNow the risKs

Like any other surgery, plastic

surgery comes with certain risks —

especially for people with medical

conditions, including diabetes,

heart disease, lung disease, and

obesity. These patients are more

likely to develop complications

such as stroke, heart attacks,

pneumonia, and blood clots.**

People who use nicotine also have

an increased risk, since nicotine

slows blood flow, which can

impede healing. Smoking cessation

is one of the most important

things a patient can do to improve

healing and prevent infection.

“Before any procedure, we spend

time talking through the process

and obtaining a full health history

so we are well-prepared for what’s to

come,” Dr. Serleth says. “We always

want to make sure the patient’s goals

and expectations are aligned with

the probable outcomes.”

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) — Slimming and tightening of abdomen.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) — Removal of excess eyelid skin to improve vision

that is obstructed by overhanging eyelids as well as physical appearance.

Brachioplasty (arm lift) — Slimming of upper arms with improved definition of

biceps and upper arm muscles.

Breast augmentation — Enlargement of breasts and enhancement of

breast contour.

Breast lift/reshape — Breasts are lifted and firmed.

Breast reduction — Reduction in the size of breasts.

Face lift — Tightening of the skin of the face and neck to minimize wrinkles

and sagging of skin.

Neck lift — Tightening of the skin of the neck to eliminate excess skin

and wrinkles.

Forehead/brow lift — Surgical tightening of the skin of the forehead that

minimizes or eliminates wrinkles and sagging skin.

Gynecomastia reduction — Reduction of breast tissue in men.

Liposuction — Removal of excess fat cells of the abdomen, hips, arms, and

thighs to improve body contouring with an overall slimming effect.

Rhinoplasty — Shaping of nose to improve appearance.

Sclerotherapy — Reduction of varicose and spider veins.

Cosmetic Botox® treatment — Small injections into muscles of the face that

cause temporary paralysis of these muscles, minimizing the appearance of frown

lines and wrinkles around and between the eyes.

Selecting a qualified surgeon for a

cosmetic procedure often begins

with a referral from a trusted

friend or colleague. Dr. Serleth

offers experience and convenience,

performing an average of 550

surgical procedures every year

right here in our community.

He holds a medical degree from

the University of Minnesota. He

completed his general surgery

residency at Gunderson Lutheran

Medical Center and a fellowship in

plastic, reconstructive, and hand

surgery at the University

of Minnesota.

During your initial consultation

with Dr. Serleth, you’ll discuss your

expectations to help determine

if you are a good candidate for

surgery. He may also review risks

involved and possible alternatives

to surgery — such as Botox®, laser

treatments, or chemical peels.

Stay safe when working on home projects

Keep safety in mind as you plan your next

home improvement project and always

remember that it’s better to be safe than

sorry. The following tips can help.

Read and follow all safety instructions. When manu-

facturers’ safety precautions accompany materials,

tools, etc., be sure to familiarize yourself with them

thoroughly before beginning work.

Be careful with ladders. Be sure you have a stable,

level surface to put your ladder on. Lock A-frame lad-

ders in the open position. Place extension ladders one

foot away from the upright surface for every four feet

of height. Never step on the top two rungs of a step-

ladder or top three of an extension ladder. Don’t use a

ladder near power lines or electrical wires.

Protect your eyes. Nearly 1 million Americans have lost

some degree of sight due to an eye injury, and the home is

the fastest-growing source of eye injuries.* Airborne dust,

debris, and fumes can injure your eyes, so buy good-quali-

ty safety glasses and get in the habit of using them.

Wear a mask or respirator. If your project creates dust

or vapors, use an appropriate dust mask or respirator.

Dress for safety. Avoid dangling sleeves, jewelry, loose

long hair or anything else that could get caught in a

power tool. Choose footwear that protects your feet —

closed-toe shoes or perhaps steel-toed boots — depend-

ing on the job.

We hope that your DIY project brings you the satisfaction of

a job well done. But if by chance it results in an injury, you

can take comfort knowing that expert medical care is avail-

able nearby at Grand Itasca. Our Emergency Department is

open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please remember to call

911 in the event your injury is so severe that you are unable

to safely drive yourself to the hospital. Grand Itasca is also

now offering a Rapid Clinic, for non-emergency acute care

needs. Hours are weekdays 2-8 pm and weekends 12-6 pm.

We’re here for you

Hire professionals for some work. Electrical work can

be deadly if you make a mistake, so consider hiring an

electrician if you’re not totally comfortable with the

task. Never make repairs involving gas yourself —

always hire a professional. For jobs that involve working

at heights, consider hiring a professional, who likely has

a safety harness or other gear to make the job safer.

Be safety conscious for everyone. Keep children and

pets away from your work area. Never walk away

from a plugged-in power tool even for a few minutes.

Be prepared for emergencies. Keep a fully stocked

first aid kit and a fire extinguisher handy. Be sure to

regularly inspect the fire extinguisher according to

the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep a cell phone

nearby and call 911 in an emergency.

Your turn: Healthy Communities Partnership

A healthy transformation

is taking place at Grand

Itasca. Several employees

are returning to their workspaces

after an informative Weight

Watchers at Work meeting. Groups of

Grand Itasca employees are walking

on the trails behind the hospital on

breaks. And the cafeteria menu now

includes healthy items like a quinoa

salad and fish tacos with fresh

mango salsa.

It’s been a year since “Lead by

Example,” the Healthy Communities

Partnership wellness initiative, was

introduced at Grand Itasca and since

then a cultural change has occurred.

Grand Itasca is excited to now be able

to bring this initiative outside of our

four walls and into our community.

“Grand Itasca’s goal is to not only

get our employees healthy but to

get community residents healthy

as well,” says Bri Solem, Wellness

Coordinator at Grand Itasca. That’s

why Grand Itasca will begin offering

free health screenings and wellness

coaching to worksites, community

groups, and others interested in

learning more about their health

this fall. The screenings will check

key biometric measures that include

body mass index, blood glucose,

cholesterol, pulse, and blood pres-

sure. “The more people who know

their numbers, the more that are in

a position to make healthy choices,

and that’s the ultimate goal.”

Participants will also be given

recommendations for setting

up a wellness plan, including

follow-up care, goal setting, and

free health coaching.

It’s flu shot time

F ace it — catching the flu

simply isn’t fun. Flu is

most commonly spread

when people cough or sneeze

virus-infected droplets into the air.

Even worse, influenza can lead to

pneumonia and other dangerous

complications. Anywhere from

3,000 to 49,000 Americans — the

majority being the very young and

the elderly — die every year from

complications related to the flu.*

who aND wheN?“Everyone 6 months of age and

older should get a flu shot,” says

Mandy Nintzel, RN, Employee

Health Nurse at Grand Itasca

Clinic & Hospital. “The flu can

make anyone sick, but certain

people are at a greater risk for

severe illness, including adults

age 65 and older, young children,

pregnant women, and people with

certain chronic health conditions

such as asthma, diabetes, and heart

disease. Vaccination is also impor-

tant for health care workers, those

who live with or care for high risk

people, and for people who care for

children younger than 6 months.”

You’ll need a flu vaccination

every year, since a shot’s ability

to protect wears off with time,

and flu strains mutate continu-

ally. “Because the viruses mutate

so quickly, last year’s vaccine may

not protect you against this year’s

viruses,” explains Nintzel.

There are two types of vaccines: flu

shots and nasal spray. A shot, given

by needle, is approved for

use in people older than 6 months.

The nasal spray is delivered by a

mist sprayed in the nose and is

approved for healthy people ages

2 to 49. (The nasal spray is not

approved for pregnant women.)

It’s a good idea to get vaccinated in

early fall — before flu season is in

full swing – since early immuniza-

tion is the most effective.

It’s also important to note that it

isn’t just those with flu symptoms

that can spread the virus. “People

infected with the flu may be able to

spread the virus to others starting

day one of infection before show-

ing any signs or symptoms,” says

Nintzel. “This is significant because

it means that you can spread the flu

to others before you know you are

sick, as well as while you are sick.”

That’s why it’s especially important

to wash your hands frequently and

cover your nose and mouth with a

tissue when coughing or sneezing

during flu season.

other PreveNtioN tiPs

In addition to a flu shot, you can

enhance your immune system’s

ability to fight influenza by eating

a nutritious diet rich in fruits and

vegetables, exercising regularly, and

managing stress. Avoiding tobacco

and alcohol will also give your body

the best chance at remaining healthy.

Grand Itasca has an extra

nurse on duty during flu season

specifically for administration

of the flu vaccine. We encourage

everyone to call and schedule an

appointment for the flu vaccine

over the phone at 218.326.7344 or

online via Mychart. You can also

ask your health care provider for

a vaccine during your regular

scheduled visits.

** People who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, as well as certain other individuals, should not be vaccinated without first talking to their doctors.

Breast cancer screenings continue to help save lives

Exams such as mammograms are able to

find cancer when it is very small and often

before symptoms are present. Kim Morse,

a Mammography Technologist at Grand Itasca,

encourages you to talk with your doctor about a

recommended screening schedule that is right for

you. “Early detection is vital for the best chance of

recovery,” says Morse. “The process is quick and easy

and our staff of friendly Certified Mammographers

and Radiologists provide quality care.”

screeNiNgs are iMPortaNt at every age

Women in their 20s and 30s are usually at a lower risk

of breast cancer, but that is dependent on health and

family history. In this age range, regular screenings

are still recommended.

You may choose to perform your own breast self-exam

on a regular basis. “Doing a breast exam regularly is one

way for women to know how their breasts normally

feel,” explains Morse. It’s important to look for any ab-

normal lumps, swelling, skin irritation, or redness. If any

changes occur, no matter your age, you should see your

doctor as soon as possible.

Regular screenings for women of all ages include a clini-

cal breast exam, or CBE. The American Cancer Society

recommends that women in their 20s and 30s have a

CBE at least every three years at their regular health

exam, and annually for women ages 40 and older. A CBE

is done by a health professional and allows an opportu-

nity for you to talk specifically about your personal risk

of developing breast cancer.

40+? tiMe for a MaMMograM

Women in their 40s and older have

an increased risk of breast can-

cer. The American Cancer Society

recommends a mammogram every year, regardless of

a woman’s health or family history. A mammogram

is an X-ray of the breast, which takes a picture of

the breast tissue to screen for any abnormalities that

might suggest cancer. “Mammography can save your

life,” urges Morse. “Mammography is a fast procedure

and discomfort is minimal for most women.”

Your doctor may recommend that you start having

mammograms at an earlier age if you have a higher

risk of developing breast cancer due to family history

or other factors. In addition, your doctor may recom-

mend a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening.

MRI scans use a magnet and radio waves to create a

more detailed image of the breast.

KeeP healthy by coNtiNuiNg screeNiNgs October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month,

dedicated to raising awareness and education about

breast cancer. A healthy lifestyle and regular screen-

ings for breast cancer are good ways to keep your

health in check. Partner with your doctor to discuss

your health history and stay on top of your recom-

mended screenings.
