5 Tips for Getting Approved for Plastic Surgery Financing

November 16th, 2011 by admin No comments »

As a plastic surgeon, I know that lots of people want plastic surgery but are having a hard time saving up for it in this tough economic climate.

While you should never put elective cosmetic surgery ahead of your more critical financial obligations such as your car or mortgage payments or saving for retirement, there are still ways to get financing for your plastic surgery.

Before I give you 5 tips that seem to help my patients, I am assuming that you know what procedure you want, you’ve had a consultation, and you know the overall price of your plastic surgery.

1. Improve Your Credit Score

As with any loan, your credit score is the most important factor in order to get approved with a good interest rate.

Plastic surgery financing companies scrutinize your credit score very closely, so if you don’t know what your score is, find out. If your score needs some improving, start paying down your debts and saving cash. If you already have a good score, you will probably get approved and get a good rate with affordable monthly payments.

2. Make Sure You Can Afford Plastic Surgery Payments

Don’t blow your good credit score by taking on payments that you can’t afford. Your overall ECONOMIC HEALTH is much more important than your cosmetic surgery.

If you are stressed about finances, your job, having a long enough time to recover or other issues besides your surgery, your body will not heal as quickly and your health could be compromised. If you need to postpone your surgery, then do it.

Helpful Hints To Lose Weight Faster While Eating Healthy

November 11th, 2011 by admin No comments »

Losing weight can be a challenge for some. But there are small but effective changes you can make to your diet to make a difference. Exercise does help with weight loss, but weight loss begins in the kitchen. Hopefully this article will help you to make healthier food choices to help jump-start your weight loss.

The first thing you must do is eat healthy fats with most of your meals. To keep your metabolism up it is important to eat enough healthy fats. Another bonus healthy fats provides your body is to help keep your appetite under control so you don’t eat too much.

Healthy fats can come from a number of sources: coconut oil, extra virgin oil, seeds, raw nuts, avocados, egg yolks, and grass fed meats. Coconut oil is a good source of healthy saturated fats that art medium chain triglycerides. Grass fed meats are a good source of linoleic acid, which helps build muscle and burn fat.

Try eating a handful of raw nuts a couple times a day. Almonds or pecans are great choices for raw nuts. Eat either almonds or pecans less than an hour before meals. This will help you to suppress your appetite. It also will give you some fiber, healthy fats, and protein so you do not overeat at meals. This will also provide your body with more nutrition from the nutrient rich nuts.

The second thing you can do is consume quality protein with your meals. Quality proteins will suppress your appetite to prevent overeating. You can get quality proteins from beans, nuts, and grass fed meats.

Fundamentals of Fat Loss – How to Eat for a Healthy Weight Loss Plan

November 11th, 2011 by admin No comments »

Let me provide for you some of the fundamentals of fat loss that you can start to implement immediately into your healthy weight loss plan

Just remember, you can learn what it takes to lose weight pretty quickly and easily. But in order to follow through with a healthy weight loss plan, the most important thing to realize is that you will want to develop the right habits that will allow you to lose weight effectively without feeling like you are on some sort of diet.

After all, diets are temporary solutions to permanent problems. Here, we are not looking for a temporary solution, but rather a permanent weight loss eating plan that is fun, healthy, and tastes good.

You will not have to give up enjoyment with your meals if you learn good fat loss eating habits.

That being said, let me give you some fat loss eating fundamentals that I practice daily:

Nutrition: I’ll list out some of the most important nutrition habits to follow for fat loss:

1. Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day (5-6 meals most likely get the job done)

2. Eat lean protein with every meal (chicken, lean ground beef, eggs, fish, etc.)

3. Eat vegetables with every meal. It does not matter if the vegetables are raw or cooked, as long as they’re a vegetable. It also doesn’t matter what kind of vegetable, but try to vary the vegetables you eat so that you don’t get bored.

4. Include some healthy fats with your meals (i.e. cook with olive oil and canola oil, eat natural peanut butter with some apples or carrots for a snack, and avocados are another good source of healthy fats). Also include fish oil with one or two of your meals each day.
