In case you haven’t noticed all the pink ribbons around lately, October marks Breast Cancer Awareness month. In honor of those who have lost their breasts to this awful disease, The Shaw Center invites women to rediscover their body confidence through breast augmentation surgery.
Whether a patient of a mastectomy (or double) or a woman who is simply unhappy with the look, size or shape of her breasts, Dr. Lawrence Shaw is the breast augmentation surgeon. He has specialized in all types of breast augmentation surgeries for the past 25 years.
The Shaw Center offers a full range of breast reconstruction surgeries including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast revision and nipple repair. Dr. Shaw offers the most innovative procedures including superior-medial pedicle breast reduction and breast lift surgery, which promises a better overall breast shape, and a “dual-plane” – “biplanar” breast augmentation technique, implant placement below the muscle without being too high on the chest.
Consider this:Before making a decision on whether breast augmentation surgery is right for you, ask yourself these important questions:
Are you considering the surgery to please yourself or someone else?
Whether it’s your husband or a group of friends, you shouldn’t feel the need to augment your body to meet the expectations of desires of anyone but yourself.
Are you being realistic about the size/look that you are considering?
Remember, breast augmentation surgery is a long-term procedure. The look that you select will be with you as you mature in life and age.
Do you expect breast augmentation surgery to change your life?
While breast augmentation surgery can certainly change your life if you’re truly unhappy with your body, you can’t expect a new body part to make your life better for reasons outside of changing your silhouette.
Have you done your research and consulted with a professional? Make a consultation appointment with Dr. Shaw to discuss your desires and reasoning behind wanting to make a change in your body via breast augmentation surgery.

With advancement in technology comes more options in hair removal procedures. The SHAW Center is on the cutting edge of this technology – offering its clients three specific choices.
Clients can choose between the Harmony XL and the Soprano XL, both by Alma Lasers and both virtually pain-free, as well the LightSheer Duet.
The Harmony option is a light-based hair removal system with a large rectangular window that emits broad-spectrum light. The energy strikes the hair follicle and destroys the cells area around the follicle that produce hair – all without causing damage beyond the follicle area.
The Soprano option is considered to be “the gold standard” in laser hair removal. This procedure utilizes a diode laser technology resulting in energy penetration deep into the dermis, and the CW pulse technology ensures a more effective result with very little discomfort.
Both of these options from Alma Lasers promise nearly a pain-free procedure with almost no irritation, permanent hair reduction of hair and a very slim chance of side effects.
The third option offered at The SHAW Center is the LightSheer Duet, which implements vacuum-assist technology. The vacuum increases spot size resulting in a quicker procedure. It also reduces treatment time by 75 percent – perfect for you busy patients.
The vacuum technology gently pulls skin to the device, eliminating the pulsing feeling of other laser hair removal treatments. It also ensures more efficient energy delivery at the target hair follicle, thanks to the larger spot size as well as a painless, as well as a more comfortable procedure for you.
If you’re considering laser hair removal but still have questions about which procedure is right for you, make an appointment with a certified specialist at the premier medical spa within The SHAW Center to learn more, discuss concerns and rid yourself of the unwanted chore of daily shaving, waxing or (ouch!) plucking.

Reality TV star Bristol Palin is raising eyebrows for her dramatic transformation in the promo photos for season 15 of “Dancing With the Stars.” The final contestant, Cheetah Girls singer Sabrina Bryan, was confirmed on Aug. 27, 2012, setting the stage for a stacked field of competitors.

In the newly-released promo pictures, Bristol appears significantly thinner than when she competed on “DWTS” in 2010, when she placed third overall.

Palin, who recently declared that her main goal this time was to “not gain any weight,” was harpooned two years ago as the only “DWTS” contestant to ever gain weight while competing on the reality TV competition.

Bristol, who has slimmed down considerably since then, underwent chin liposuction and jaw surgery in December 2010 to get rid of her chubby cheeks and double chin.

“I am absolutely thrilled with the results,” Palin told Us in 2011. “I look older, more mature, and don’t have as much of a chubby little baby face!”

Bristol, daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, has reunited her former “DWTS” partner Mark Ballas. “Dancing with the Stars” (the all-star edition) kicks off Sept. 24, 2012.
