Happy New Year… Happy New You
Happy New Year from our office to you. As we enter a new year many of us turn our thoughts to self-improvement and the annual ritual of making (and keeping?) resolutions as we become introspective—
What’s on your list?
Top 4 New Year’s Resolutions!
LOSE WEIGHT/GET IN BETTER SHAPE
Year after year, this is the #1 resolution! Over 66% of adult American’s are considered overweight or obese (see more on BMI on below). Setting reasonable goals & staying focused are the two most important factors in sticking with a weight loss program and the key to success for those with this #1 goal. Cosmetic Surgery is not a short cut to this goal…but perhaps can be a reward for your hard-earned efforts.
STICK TO A BUDGET/REDUCE DEBT
Ok, easier said then done, particularly in this day & age, however the best defense is a good offense. Keep a daily diary of all the money spent–even (especially the “small stuff”, like your daily latte’s). Once you know where your money is going, then you can take the steps needed to prepare a good budget that you can live with & make huge strides to budgeting your debt away. For more information on NO interest finance plans offered by our office, see below.
ENJOY MORE TIME WITH FAMILY/FRIENDS
Consciously decide to actively & purposely work on improving your family situation every day. Reschedule business activities if needed to make time for your family (remember kids grow up REAL fast). Start by setting aside an hour a day for the family (no texting, cell phones off, ect…) Also friends are the glue that hold us together in hard times and the bond we need during the best of times. Cherish your friends as you would a treasured priceless heriloom.
QUIT SMOKING
Becoming a non-smoker is probably one of the best decisions you can ever make and is a life changing as well as a life saving decision. The resolution to become a non-smoker will also help you to live longer & enjoy the finer things in life! Certainly not an easy one…but well worth the efforts.

Dr Hackney’s Corner…
What is BMI and why is it important? BMI is your Body Mass Index and is an important factor in considering your overall risk factor, in life and in surgery. To calculate your BMI go to my website: www.DrHackney.net click on “frequently asked questions” for a BMI calculator. What am I looking for in your BMI? A BMI of over 30 is considered obese by several standards. However, depending on your sex, age and muscle mass, a BMI of 32 may be acceptable for surgery. The number one new year’s resolution is to lose weight and get in shape. If this is on your list, its a perfect goal prior to planning or undergoing cosmetic surgery.
Healthy BMI: 18.5 to 24.9
Overweight: 25 to 29.9
Obese: 30 to 39.9
The key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about short-term dietary changes. It’s about a lifestyle that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, and balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses. Staying in control of your weight contributes to good health now as you age. Did you know that Colorado is the state with the “healthiest” BMI (less than 19% obesity*)? Worst state? No, not Texas (thankfully), but Mississippi with over 34% *of residents being obese.
I wish you and your family a happy and HEALTHY new year.

Silicone or Saline?
The FDA approved the use of silicone get implants for patients 22 & older back in 2006. The number one question posed to our patient coordinators is “which one is better/safer”? The choice between silicone or saline is truly a personal choice. Most women do prefer the feeling and appearance of the silicone implant over saline. Did you know that Mentor breast implants are guaranteed for a life-time*? Call for more information and to find out more about Silicone Gel or Saline implants and which one may be right for you.
