I am very excited to be announcing that I will be hosting my first “Girls Night Out” on Tuesday, September 21st at La Provence in Roseville. Over a year ago I came up with the idea of doing this event; but as we all know life, work, and motherhood got in the way of that pesky 24 hour day! So here we are a year later and I am finally seeing my idea come to life by bringing the expertise of these amazing women – to you.
I wanted to host this event as a chance for female business owners to come together, provide products or services that make women feel better about themselves, make women feel beautiful; whatever that service or product is. It can be as simple as trying a new exercise regime, having a wardrobe make-over, getting your teeth whitened or getting a cosmetic procedure. Whatever it is that makes you feel more empowered – then let us help you get there!
Come talk with the experts, learn how you can achieve your best look, and have a chance to win great prizes. For a complete list of who will be there and how you can register for the event – check back with the blog and our Facebook page for more details next week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Christa Clark

They made switching faces look pretty easy in that Nicolas Cage movie, but as it turns out, face transplants aren’t so simple in real life. There have only been a handful of face transplants performed so far, but plastic surgeons seem to be getting more confident, so you may start hearing more about them in the future.
The first face transplant to get a lot of attention was the case of an American woman named Connie Culp, whose husband had shot her in the face with a shotgun. (You may remember her from an appearance on Oprah in which she said she forgave her husband and would be waiting for him when he got out of prison.) Her relationship with her husband certainly sounds interesting, but what’s more interesting is that in 2008, doctors were able to replace 80% of her face using the face of a dead woman. This surgery transformed her appearance, and, more importantly, returned to her the ability to smell, eat, and breathe on her own– all useful bodily functions.
Face transplants are difficult for the reasons you would expect– our faces are full of important stuff, such as sense organs. It took a large team of doctors 22 hours to perform Culp’s surgery and she will remain on immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of her life to prevent her body from rejecting the new face.
After Culp was a 59-year old American man named James Maki. He fell on the third rail in a subway station in Boston and severely disfigured his face. For Maki, getting a new face meant getting his life back. He said that people would scream and run away when they saw him– it made venturing outdoors a terrible experience for him. No one wants to be treated that way, and getting a face transplant meant freedom from the hermetic life he had been forced into.
If surgeries like these become viable solutions rather than last-ditch efforts, more people will have the opportunity for a second chance at life, just like Maki and Culp got.

What does the perfect woman or man look like? Scarlett Johansson? Halle Berry? Matthew McConaughey? George Clooney? People argue over what looks good and what doesn’t all the time. What’s considered beautiful in Sacramento might not be considered so hot by New Jersey housewife standards. And our friends overseas sometimes have different ideas altogether. Let’s take a journey and see what people in other parts of the world are doing to make themselves match their own ideals of beauty.
In Japan, crooked teeth are considered by some to be more attractive than straight teeth. Meanwhile, Americans usually go to great lengths to avoid such a look.
A rich, bronze tan is considered beautiful in the U.S., but in many parts of Asia, skin color can indicate one’s station in life and a dark tan can mean you’re a farmer, not a star. Sun umbrellas are sometimes used to help maintain perfect, pearly white skin. Laser removal of freckles and moles is common. Double eyelid surgery, mandible surgery and lengthening the nose with rhinoplasty are all common procedures. Botox is also very popular; many women want a rounder forehead.
Some Asian women have fat injected around the eyes to help make their face appear less flat. Black contact lenses are a trend in some circles, and the combination of ivory skin, jet black hair, and dark eyes is considered by some to be striking and beautiful.
There is among some cosmetic surgeons talk of a “global nose,” the ever-changing ideal nose in the eyes of our collective worldwide population. In India, there is a trend toward rhinoplasty that creates smaller nostrils and a pointier tip for a more refined look.
It is also becoming increasingly popular for Indians to partner up when making the decision to get cosmetic surgery. Two friends, mother and daughter or even newly-weds may get cosmetic surgery together, providing one another support and morale.
One thing is certain. Plastic surgery in Sacramento and in the rest of the world is becoming a more and more popular way to reach toward becoming an ideal beauty.
