Ever Wonder What You Would Look Like With A Bigger Bustline?

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Now you may be able to find out! Here you can see Dr. Jennifer Walden featured on an educational DVD for the Natrelle Pre-consultation Kit on Breast Augmentation and Breast Reconstruction. As you may already know, Dr. Walden specializes in Breast Augmentation and Reconstruction in New York, NY and recommends this product for anyone who is looking to get surgery and is unsure about size. This kit was inspired by Dr. Elizabeth Kinsley, who is a plastic surgeon in Covington, LA. On Dr. Kinsley’s website she says, ” After trying on the implants and seeing themselves with a totally different look, many women who said they never considered augmentation changed their minds.”

The Natrelle Pre-consultation Kit was created for patients to find their ideal size for for breast implants. We’re all built differently and sometimes it can be hard to make such a big decision when you’re unsure about the outcome. This kit is the only home breast implant sizing kit designed to educate you about breast augmentation. And, the Natrelle kit is meant to educate people about implants and how to choose the size you desire without being disappointed after surgery. Dr. Walden has been quoted, “Why wonder about what breast enlargement can do for you when you can take a test drive with the Natrelle Pre-consultation Kit?” She also says, “However it’s the implants and sizing bra that make the kit by helping women visualize and get excited about what they’d look like after a breast enhancement”.

The Natrelle™ Collection offers over 140 breast implant combinations from type of filler and volume to base width and profile—to help you find the fit you want. The entire Natrelle™ Collection is FDA-approved, and produced by Allergan (makers of good stuff like Botox and Latisse!). This kit is available on the Natrelle website for $39.95 plus $5 shipping and handling and includes rebates for Botox, Juvederm, and Latisse. Search it on Natrelle.com!

Senate Bill has a 5% Elective Cosmetic Surgery Tax

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Watch the above video as Neil Cavuto interviews Dr. Jennifer Walden, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon, on Fox Business News on the proposed cosmetic surgery tax in the Senate version of the health care bill. Many plastic surgeons and surgical societies oppose this tax as discriminatory, arbitrary and ineffective.

As Dr. Walden explains, about 90 percent of cosmetic surgery patients are female so
elective surgery taxes unfairly target women. Contrary to popular belief, cosmetic surgery is no longer an
exclusive luxury reserved for the very wealthy – the vast majority of patients are women who work.
Research by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons targeting those who plan to have cosmetic surgery
within the next two years reveals that 60 percent of the respondents report an annual household income of $30,000-$90,000. Most importantly, 40 percent of those report income of
$30,000-$60,000. Only 10 percent of the respondents report
household income of more than $90,000.

It would be an inappropriate position for physicians to be put in to be tax collectors, and the government is in no position to determine medical necessity. A similar program in NJ is about to be repealed as it failed in that state with a huge administrative burden and budget shortfall. We hope the politicians come to their senses on this proposed tax and do not set this precedent of taxing patients and physicians to solve their budget crisis in healthcare reform.
