Healthy Sources of Energy: while three sources listed above do give us energy, it is generally short lived energy and will quickly require another “fix” to keep you going. In contrast, healthy energy sources are much more sustainable. This means you have a more constant amount of energy without peaks and valley’s characteristic of noxious sources. Another distinction between two is that with healthy sources of energy you may still feel tired at end of day, but it’s not exhausted, totally drained feeling that comes from burning noxious fuel. Here are three great sources of energy. 1.Energizing People: we all have those people in our lives who somehow give us more energy when we’re with them. Think of those relationships (personal or professional) where you are left feel light and energized. How can you build more of those relationships into your life while minimizing or eliminating those draining ones? 2.Healthful foods: while each person is different in terms of what foods fuel their body best, it is clear that consistently eating proteins and carbohydrates (not sugar laden ones) does keep us going in a healthful way. What foods work best for you? Drinking water helps too, since dehydration is very tiring. 3.Energizing Activities: certainly it would be nice if we could just do things we love to do, but that is not always realistic. It is, however, possible to build more energizing activities into your schedule. Do you get so caught up in gardening, biking, painting, dancing, or cooking that you lose sense of time? This is a sign that activity is energizing for you. It doesn’t have to be a big time commitment to be energizing. Simply listening to your favorite music can be energizing. Or surrounding yourself with flowers, colors you love, pictures, or pets. What are your energizing activities?

We can and do choose our sources of energy and motivation. Some of our choices give us positive energy that lifts us up and brings out our best. Others ultimately weigh us down and drain us of our spirit. What will you choose to use?

Placing implants is not a lengthy procedure, he said, and can be done under local anesthesia. This is important because patient does not experience a great deal of downtime; often they can return to work right away because swelling is not a problem.

Procedure An average of 7 to 8 mL of buffered lidocaine with epinephrine is injected in nasal dorsum, tip, and gingivallabial area. After 10 minutes, an incision is made in gingival-labial area and, tith sharp and blunt dissection, is tunneled up the columella. Then scissors and a periosteal elevator are used to undermine skin of nose and periosteum to create a pocket for implant.

Dr. Haddad used a preformed, L-shaped Silastic implant. "I like preformed models because they require almost no carving. Many surgeons will carve unformed Silastic at time of surgery. This usually takes longer and end results are not as pleasing as those achieved with preformed Silastic. I prefer Silastic over harder implants because feel is better," he explained.

Closing wound The wound is closed with chromic or polyglactin 910 (Vicryl) sutures. "if implants is placed deep the periosteum, then it is well secured," he said. If necessary, Steristrips can be placed on top of nose.

Projecting tip of nose will sometimes narrow nasal alae. If this does not occur after he places implant, then Dr. Haddad removes a wedge of skin at junction between nasal alae and floor of nose which he cuts from inside or from outside along crease of nostril.

Asian eyes also require special attention, and patient dictates outcome based not just on personal preference, but on cultural factors as well. (See Asian eye article on p.16). CST For Information:
