Soldier's Family Can Remain in Home for a While

A Bend soldier who has put a national face on the mortgage crisis is home this week as the family faces foreclosure. Soldier Aaron Collette came home to Central Oregon, and on the same day the home was sold back to the bank. Father Tim Collette had an excellent credit score (810) and put $125,000 down on his home, but couldn't weather the storm when his construction business took a big hit. He's working again, but Collette was not given a loan modification. He hopes that others can at least learn from his experience: “I guess the biggest thing is don't give up; there are options out there. There are people who can help you. Maybe not save your house but they can keep you in your house longer." Nearly 3000 homeowners in Oregon are facing foreclosure; about 350 of those are in Deschutes County.

Seasonal Cosmetic Surgery: Getting Ready for Summer ... - Bend dentist

    PHOENIX, AZ, August 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ — Women who are considering cosmetic surgery generally want their new figure to be ready in time for the summer season, so they can take full advantage of all of the fashion they’ve been unable (or reluctant) to enjoy in the past. If this is important to you, summer itself is not the best time to undergo surgery. You want to give your body plenty of time to heal and properly recover from your procedure before returning to your normal activities.

The two most popular cosmetic surgery procedures that patients undergo to enhance their summer physique are liposuction and breast augmentation.

SmartLipo Recovery

In the past, liposuction was an invasive procedure that required recovery time more in line with other intensive cosmetic surgery operations. Now, with the development of SmartLipo , liposuction is more accessible and precise than ever, with a significantly reduced recovery time.

SmartLipo uses a laser-assisted technology to safely rupture fat cells without any injections. During this process, the laser also cauterizes your blood vessels, which greatly reduces bleeding and swelling. SmartLipo is not only less traumatic for your body – it also produces far less discomfort both during and after the procedure.

Most patients are able to return to work only one or two days after their SmartLipo procedure. You can expect to notice the majority of your results immediately, making this one of the most efficient cosmetic surgery procedures available.

However, it should be noted that your skin make take from three to six months to fully adjust. Until all swelling has ceased and your skin fully heals, your final results will not be apparent. For this reason, patients who are considering SmartLipo may want to have their procedure performed in early spring, so their body has plenty of time to look its best before summer arrives.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

The breast augmentation recovery process is generally more involved than recovery from SmartLipo. Patients should consider having their procedure performed in the winter months to allow for as much recovery time as possible. If you combine a breast lift with your breast augmentation surgery, your recovery time will likely be lengthened.

Breast augmentation patients can usually return to work after a week of rest, but it can take around three to four months before swelling in the breasts completely subsides. The winter months are an ideal time to rest up and recover regardless of recovery time; people’s busy holiday schedules are finally behind them, and the cooler weather usually keeps everyone indoors.
