Board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Jaime S. Schwartz, MD (right) and certified physician assistant, Heather Amitrone (left), work with a professionally trained staff at the Bright Health Physicians Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine Center.
The Mommy Makeover: Getting Your Body Back is your skin making you look tired? stressed? older? revive your skin and lift your spirits with the following simple steps, recommended for all skin types by sherri Juranek, bright Health Physicians medical aesthetician.
1. Drink plenty of water. Water helps replenish skin tissue, moisturizes skin and increases skin elasticity.
2. Maintain a proper daily skincare regimen that includes cleansing morning and night, a retinol product for exfoliation and anti-aging, an antioxidant serum, eye cream and moisturizer.
3. Use mineral-based cosmetics. traditional make-up often contains skin-irritating ingredients such as preserva-tives, parabens, mineral oil, chemical dyes and fragrance. mineral makeup can protect your skin from the sun and is useful in calming irritated skin, due to the higher percentage of zinc oxide than traditional make-up.
4. Obtain a professional skin evaluation to see what facial rejuvenation services would be most appropriate for you.
5. Use a skin lightening or brightening cream to reduce discoloration from age or sun damage. these can be prescribed to you by a physician.
at the bright Health Physicians Plastic surgery & aesthetic medicine center, a team of highly-trained staff provides safe, professional treatment for all of your skin care needs under the supervision of a board-certified plastic surgeon. a variety of individualized treatments are offered, including facials for all skin types, micro-dermabrasion, chemical peels, and wrinkle fillers and reducers.
to learn more or schedule an appointment for a complimentary professional skin evaluation, please call 562.789.5439.
motherhood is a precious gift,
but it can take a toll on your
body and leave you longing for
your former figure. the popular
mommy makeover, offered by
the bright Health Physicians
Plastic surgery & aesthetic
medicine center, can help you
recapture the confidence that
comes from feeling good about
your body.
board-certified plastic and
reconstructive surgeon
Jaime s. schwartz, md
and his professionally
trained staff use a single
procedure to give
moms a tummy tuck
(abdominoplasty),
breast augmentation or lift and/
or liposuction at Presbyterian
intercommunity Hospital's (PiH)
state-of-the-art surgical facilities.
”Pregnancy stretches women’s
skin, leaving extra skin
around the abdomen, and
breastfeeding can change the
shape and feel of the breasts,”
said dr. schwartz. ”often, no
matter how much the mother
diets and exercises, there is still
spare skin.”
Patient Julie Humphrey, mother
of four, agreed. ”i decided to
have the mommy makeover
because no matter how thin
i got, i couldn’t lose the extra
skin and i wanted to feel good
in my clothes again.”
as with any surgery, there are
standard risks to consider, and
cosmetic surgery candidates
must be cleared by their primary
doctor. ”our mommy makeover
candidates are typically healthy
moms who maintain a good
diet and exercise routine, which
reduces any potential risks,”
said dr. schwartz.
inna Workman, a mother of
three and a patient of dr.
schwartz, said the mommy
makeover gave her a big
emotional boost. ”my self-
confidence went through the
roof. i felt completely changed,
with more energy, a better
mood and a lot more motivation
to get up in the morning
knowing that my clothes would
fit and i would look pretty.”

Quick Tips for Relieving Allergies sniffling. sneezing. itching. allergies can definitely make you miserable. Whether
it's dust, animal dander, trees, grass or weeds that triggers your allergies, there are
ways to fight back. eugene W. tsai, md, a bright Health Physicians board-certified
allergist, suggests these solutions:
1. Try over-the-counter medications. For nasal symptoms, an antihistamine
such as allegra, claritin or Zyrtec may help. check with your physician first if
you’re taking other medications that may interact.
2. Use sinus rinses. nasal irrigation can work wonders to clear up congestion.
For some, using a saltwater solution with a neti pot brings relief.
3. Know your enemy. a physician can use blood or skin tests and look at
your medical history to identify your allergy triggers.
4. Reduce your sensitivity. once you know what causes your symptoms, you
can reduce your exposure. if you have severe allergies, your physician may
recommend shots that decrease your immune response to certain triggers.
dr. tsai recommends seeking medical help if you have allergy
symptoms more than three or four times a week and/or
frequently use allergy medications.
you can connect with the right
allergist by calling the bright
Health Physicians referral
service at 1.877.285.DOCS
(1.877.285.3627).
medication, surgery can be a very
effective option.”
the good news is that these
medically-necessary corrective
surgeries are typically outpatient
procedures and are usually
covered by health insurance.
if you suspect a structural
abnormality in yourself or a loved
one, be sure to consult with a
bright Health Physicians specialist.
you’ll have access to a full range
of diagnostic services. if surgery
is the best option, you’ll receive
state-of-the-art, convenient care
at Presbyterian intercommunity
Hospital's (PiH) same day surgery
center. if you would like to set
up an appointment with one
of our otolaryngologists, call
562.789.5456.
Paul Jacobsen, MD, Bright Health Physicians otolaryngologist and Sunny Park, MD, MPH, Bright Health Physicians facial plastic surgeon/ otolaryngologist can help diagnose chronic conditions and recommend treatment.

Beyond the Tower: Building a Lasting Foundationthe one-year anniversary
of Japan’s devastating
earthquake reminds us
all of the importance of
earthquake safety. after
the 1994 northridge
earthquake, california
put several seismic safety
laws into effect. Presbyterian
intercommunity Hospital (PiH)
is doing its part to make sure
its buildings are in compliance,
but ensuring that the new Plaza
tower is in line with these laws is a
tremendous financial responsibility.
”right now, the building is
budgeted to cost $213 million and
is being completely funded through
operating cash flow, redemption
of investments and debt financing,
which we hope to significantly
reduce through our current
campaign,” said rich atwood,
co-chair of the community Health
and safety capital campaign
cabinet and seven-year member of
the PiH board of directors.
”of course we need to pay for the
new Plaza tower, but we also want
to encourage the community to
take ownership of the hospital as
a whole,” said annette atwood,
cabinet co-chair, full-time artist
and leader of the american cancer
society survivor art workshops at
PiH. ”PiH is a community asset that
each one of us needs to support
and nurture. the truth is that all
Presbyterian intercommunity Hospital (PiH) associates Program members’ donations are an important factor in PiH’s ability to deliver the kind of innovation that makes us the leading community hospital in our area. associates pledge an annual gift of $250 or more and are entitled to a number of special benefits, including:
ontrackforthehighestsafety,securityandefficiency
security and efficiency
are critical in today’s
organizations, and while
our PiH facilities are already
safe and secure, we are
going the extra mile to
ensure even higher levels of
safety in the future.
For example, our Plaza tower will feature new security
badge-directed entry and exit areas that enable us
to know at all times that everyone in the facility is
authorized to be there. advanced technology will also
help us track patients’ exact locations in the facility
and the precise levels of care needed, thus helping to
minimize wait times and make transfers in and out of
the facility more efficient.
thanks to the input of physicians and nurses who
understand how to provide effective healthcare,
the Plaza tower and the healthcare delivery process
were engineered with the needs of patients and
professional caregivers in mind.
so whether patients come to PiH for surgery,
hospitalization or other services, they can rest
assured knowing that the healthcare process will be
streamlined, focused on the needs of our patients and
as affordable as possible.

donations, large or small, are
very necessary. it’s going to
take all of us to reach the goal,
but if we all take part in the
lifting, no one needs to carry
the full weight alone.”
”there are 1.5 million people
in our service area,” rich said.
”if everyone joined the PiH
Foundation associates Program
at even the lowest level of
$250, together we would raise
$375 million dollars, securing
our future.”

the campaign, please contact

lupe garcia might be care
Force one’s biggest fan.
over the past decade, this
long-time Whittier resident
has relied on care Force
one, a mobile health service
offered by Presbyterian
intercommunity Hospital
(PiH). she has also referred
many underserved children
and families to this valuable
resource. care Force one
provides low-cost basic and
preventive healthcare directly
to community members
who for various reasons,
have difficulty accessing care
elsewhere.
lupe first utilized care Force
one 10 years ago, when she
was a single parent raising two
young girls. at the time, she
worked for a local preschool
but didn’t have health
insurance. state-sponsored
programs helped cover one
of her daughters, but lupe’s
other daughter was left
without any coverage. as she
sought alternative coverage
possibilities, she was thrilled
to have discovered care Force
one, where her daughter was
able to begin receiving regular
physicals, vaccinations and
basic dental exams.
”care Force one really
fulfilled a major need for my
family,” she said. ”Frankly,
i’m not sure what we would
have done without it.”
lupe was so impressed with
the services offered by care
Force one and its stellar staff,
that she began sharing her
experience with co-workers
and community residents
who didn't have insurance
for themselves or their
children. ”sadly, i noticed
that the children were really
the ones being left behind,”

lupe said. ”even the people
who qualified for certain
state-sponsored benefits in
the past weren’t qualifying
anymore.”
thanks to lupe, the word
kept spreading and more
community members are
now aware and taking
advantage of this remarkable
community benefit geared
toward providing people
with preventive care.
today, lupe is remarried; her
girls are grown; and she’s
covered by great health
insurance. she is also preparing
to open her own preschool
later this year, and she plans to
continue promoting care Force
one to those in need.

FastFactsaboutpolypsthe goal of a colonoscopy is to find potentially precancerous growths, called polyps, and remove them before they become cancerous. Here are three facts you need to know:
”screening can detect colorectal cancer when it’s still curable,” said armen gregorian, md, bright Health Physicians colorectal surgeon. ”colonoscopic removal of precancerous polyps can prevent colon and rectal cancer before it begins.”
Turning 50?giveYourselfthegoldengiftofhealthHaving a 50th birthday is definitely worth celebrating. it’s a monumental milestone not only in your life, but also for your health.
if you are approaching the ”big 5-0,” it’s a great time to make sure your health is golden too. the first step is to prioritize
preventative screenings such as regular colonoscopies. Here are four reasons to schedule yours today:
1.it’sinvaluable. colon cancer is the second
leading cause of cancer-related deaths in america, yet it’s
almost completely preventable. according to neal shindel,
md, bright Health Physicians,* ”if everyone over age 50
had a colonoscopy every 10 years, the majority of colon
cancer deaths would be eliminated.”
2.it’spainless. colonoscopies are done while patients
are sedated, so the procedure is as easy as taking a nap.
3.it’seffective. no other screening tool is as
effective in preventing cancer. For average-risk patients,
testing is only necessary every 10 years.
4.it’seasytoschedule.For most patients, there
is no need for pre-procedure consultations. simply make a
phone call, complete some paperwork and you’re all set.
For more information or to schedule a colonoscopy, call the
colon cancer screening Program at 562.945.4754.
