This is a problem area for many women and is often a result of genetics, not body weight. The banana roll is usually resistant to exercise and diet. Liposuction can be performed to eliminate the stubborn fat and contour the body for a more shapely appearance. For this procedure, Dr. Kelly makes a very small incision right below the crease of the buttocks and uses a thin canula to suction the fat out of the area. He is careful when treating the banana roll area to remove an even amount of fat to avoid leaving any lumps or bumps. for the first 20 patients to purchase Laser Hair Removal Packages in September!

WATCH US! Only 15 Minutes of Exercise.... Can Add 3 Years To Your Life! While it may sound too good to be true, a recent Taiwanese study indicates that exercising 15 minutes a day not only enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health, it can extend lifespan an average of three years. The study, which took place over eight years and included 400,000 participants, compared inactive people with active people who engaged in a range of different levels of physical activity. Individuals that exercised approximately 92 minutes a week (15 minutes a day), cut their risk of death by 14%, risk of death by cancer by 10% AND had an average three year longer life expectancy. While the World Health Organization recommends at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, these results should encourage those who are having a hard time getting in enough or any daily exercise. Something is better than nothing. But more is always better! Q & A with Dr. Herman Q: What exactly is MAC Anesthesia? I always thought there was just local anesthesia and general anesthesia. A: MAC, which stands for Monitored Anesthesia Care, is a state of conscious sedation. The patient receives pain medicine and sedatives intravenously to induce relaxation and drowsiness. However, the patient is still conscious and capable of responding to verbal or physical stimulation. Unlike general anesthesia, the patient is able to breathe on their own and does not need a breathing tube. With MAC, an anesthesiologist is present to monitor vital signs and administer intravenous medications. General anesthesia is the deepest form of sedation. The patient is in a controlled state of unconsciousness where they won't see, hear, feel or remember anything that happens. General anesthesia is commonly produced by a combination of intravenous drugs and inhaled gases. A breathing tube is used to assist with the patient's breathing. As with MAC, an anesthesiologist is present to monitor your breathing as well as your body's vital functions. I know the thought of anesthesia can be a little scary. To ensure our patients' safety, we only use board-certified anesthesiologists to administer anesthesia at MPS. These are doctors who have completed a minimum of a 4-year residency in anesthesiology after medical school. They have also passed board exams and participate in continuing medical education to stay current on the latest medical techniques and advances.
