• After-Care Tips for Individuals Recovering from Breast Surgery , Leonard Roudner March, 2011 By Leonard Roudner As a cosmetic surgeon who has extensive experience in performing breast augmentations, I understand the need for proper after-care. Clients who visit my office in Coral Gables, Florida, choose from a wide range of aesthetic services, and whenever they opt for a procedure that involves surgery, I advise them about the healing process. While this list of tips shouldn’t be used as a comprehensive strategy for recovering from breast surgery, it is an overview of the most important factors that will contribute to a successful healing process. A woman’s personal surgeon knows her health factors best and can give her specific instructions, though these points should be followed universally: 1. Spend at least the first day in bed. These initial hours are hard on many women, and it’s a good idea to have an assistant on hand to help you get to the bathroom, eat, and fulfill other basic needs. 2. Don’t exercise the muscles around the chest or shoulders for several weeks. Any heavy lifting, strenuous activity or exercise is out of the question for an individual who is in recovery from breast augmentation surgery. 3. Refrain from physical contact with newly enlarged breasts, as this can affect the sensitivity and pain levels experienced by patients. 4. Wear protective clothing until the healing process is complete. Women who undergo breast augmentations run the risk of infection, pain, or other issues if they do not exercise extreme caution during their healing process. Patients should always follow their surgeon’s after-care instructions and pay attention to the signs and symptoms of infection or other complications.

• Overview of the Melbourne Medical School through the University of Melbourne, Leonard Roudner March, 2011 Dr. Leonard Roudner holds an M.D. through the Melbourne Medical School. Located in the city of Melbourne, Australia, the Melbourne Medical School functions as one of four colleges within the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences. The Melbourne Medical School ranks as Australia’s oldest medical university. Additionally, the distinguished academic institution retains international recognition for excellence across both its teaching and its research-oriented efforts. The University of Melbourne serves as one of Australia’s most competitive educational establishments today. Currently, the prestigious Melbourne Medical School produces more advanced degree recipients, fosters a greater amount of peer-reviewed research papers, secures greater quantities of national research funding, and instructs more future health professionals than any other university presently operating across the entire continent. Students engaging the Melbourne Medical School remain privy to an array of instructional and professional advantages. In addition to an exceptional education, Melbourne Medical School students gain the benefit of the longstanding academic institution’s diverse extra-educational relationships. The Melbourne Medical School maintains an array of powerful associations with professional, commercial, and community organizations and institutions toward supporting mentoring programs, internships, and other various career opportunities and ongoing support initiatives. The Melbourne Medical School received its initial charter principally through the efforts of English physician Anthony Colling Brownless. Committed to creating the most exhaustive academic medical curriculum in existence at the time, Dr. Brownless founded the college with a five-year program, as opposed to the four years typically engaged by other medical teaching institutions. This additional effort toward excellence remains a guiding quality of the university today, with the Melbourne Medical School still commanding one of the longest undergraduate medical degrees offered around the world. Founded in 1862, the premier institution subsequently transitioned to a coeducational medical school in 1891. Across an array of specialties, graduates of the Melbourne Medical School gain the tools and assistance necessary to take on international leadership positions across the field of medicine.

• American Medical Association, Leonard Roudner April, 2011 An esteemed plastic surgeon Dr. Leonard Roudner, known popularly as Dr. Lenny, belongs to one of the oldest and most esteemed medical organizations in the United States. Established in 1847 and incorporated in 1897, the American Medical Association (AMA) espouses a mission of serving the public good through the advancement of medicine, and one of the primary ways the organization realizes this goal is through supporting and educating the medical practitioners who make up its member base. Two hundred-fifty people attended the AMA’s founding meeting, and today tens of thousands of medical practitioners now claim membership. Among the many ways in which the American Medical Association acts as a major force for the advancement of medicine is the publication of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The highest circulating weekly peer-reviewed medical journal in the world, JAMA regularly features innovative medical research as well as opportunities for readers to further and deepen their medical education. In addition to JAMA, the AMA also publishes the Archives of Internal Medicine, the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, and the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, among other titles. Additional avenues for educational and professional development offered by the American Medical Association include a comprehensive database for continuing medical education (CME) courses, a private online community for the discussion of the future of medical education, and a list of open residencies and fellowships for medical students. The AMA also offers webinars in a wide variety of topics, such as Group Practice Physicians (GPP), Health Information Technology (Health IT), Organized Medical Staff Section (OMSS), and Resident and Fellow Section (RFS). Another significant arm of the American Medical Association is the organization’s advocacy program. Promoting the rights of patients and medical practitioners, the AMA is currently campaigning for the expansion of coverage for the uninsured and the reformation of the current physician payment system under Medicare. Qualified medical practitioners interested in the benefits afforded by membership in the American Medical Association should visit ama-assn.org for information on how to join.
