Ideal Implant The Breast Bet

About 150 board-certified plastic surgeons can officially begin offering IDEAL IMPLANT®s to breast augmentation patients this month. The US Food and Drug Administration cleared the novel double-lumen breast implant for marketing in November 2014, and the first shipment is slated to hit surgeons’ offices in September.

Invented by Dallas plastic surgeon Robert S. Hamas, MD, the IDEAL IMPLANT is a saline breast implant that possesses some of the same characteristics seen with silicone gel implants, allowing for the more natural look and feel associated with gel minus some of the risks.

Back to school means back to life, and for many teens, this also means stress and stress-related acne. “Stress often triggers the body to over-produce hormones that stimulate sebaceous or oil glands and can cause acne flare-ups,” says New York City dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD. In one study, students at the Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, Calif, who had the greatest increase in stress during exams also had the worst acne.

To the rescue: The new AcneFree® 24 Hour Acne Clearing System. It features AcneFree® Oil-Free Purifying Cleanser, AcneFree® Renewing Toner and AcneFree® Repair Lotion—and is the only over-the-counter acne system with Advanced Micro-Benzoyl Peroxide. The AcneFree® 24 Hour Acne Clearing System can be purchased for $19.99 at retailers nationwide. For more information, visit www.acnefree.com
