Inland Cosmetic Surgery

Orlando plastic surgeon, Richard Bosshardt recently outlined the status of modern breast cancer treatments and the medical efforts to minimize negative effects associated with the disease.

Most women know that early detection is key and many are aware of the statistics - For example:  “about 1 in 8 women will have to face breast cancer in their lifetime.”  However, there are new reasons to be optimistic: Doctors have begun practicing “breast conservation” rather than outright removal, chemotherapy is more advanced and reconstruction has become more sophisticated than ever, with patients often improving their appearance as a result.

Also, family ‘genetic markers’ have become excellent risk indicators, narrowing the search for a definite cause.  Of course, as Dr. Bosshardt says, breast implants, the choice to wear (or not wear) bras and high-fat diets have never been shown to have any correlation with increased breast cancer risk.

Everyone has been touched in some way by breast cancer. No family should lose a mother prematurely. Or a dear friend, sister, wife, daughter, co-worker. No one of us, just diagnosed, should have to look at the mirror in the morning and say: Will I survive? Everyone deserves a lifetime: We feel it deep in our bones.

Finding a cure can now be a reality within our grasp. Each step the participants take on the Breast Cancer 3-Day brings us closer to ending the disease forever.

We at Inland Cosmetic Surgery are dedicated to finding a cure for this horrible disease. We are now proud sponsors of a team of courageous and strong women who are helping make this dream a reality. We have sponsored them so that they will not only meet their fundraising goals, but also for their tee shirts and overcoats

Dr. Haiavy has also decided to donate $100 from each surgery booked between September 1, 2008 and November 1, 2008 to the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk. In addition, if any patient wishes to donate more to this cause, Dr. Haiavy will MATCH their donation as well. All monies raised from us will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.

We strongly believe that we can make a difference and have taken the first steps into reaching our goal of finding a cure. If you would like more information about this wonderful cause, you can visit the Susan G. Komen Foundation site at www.the3day.org to join the walk or make a donation. Our team, God’s Property, with the leadership of Lisa Nichols, star of the Secret, is an exceptional group of women who are dedicated in making a difference. We thank them for their hard work in training now and wish them luck on their 60 mile walk on November 21 to 23, 2008.
