Breast Surgery Combined with Tummy Tuck and/or Liposuction
by Charlotte Rhee, MD, F.A.C.S., P.C.
Many of my patients come to me seeking help with the changes that can occur after childbirth. Following childbirth, a woman’s breast can grow to uncomfortable proportions or just the opposite can happen. A woman’s breast can
actually lose volume and shrink, resulting in the breast appearing “deflated.”
Additionally, a large number of women come to me seeking help with the
post partum changes of their abdomen. During pregnancy the skin and abdominal wall muscles are stretched. Following childbirth, the abdomen can
protrude and the skin can be loose or sag. In some cases, the abdominal muscles can be so
weakened that the individual may look like she is still pregnant. Despite daily workouts including
sit ups and crunches, a tummy tuck may be needed to restore these muscles.
ing breast reduction. Both groups of women want to have breasts that are proportional to their
body size with the most natural result possible. In certain situations, a breast lift is also needed
to tighten lax skin. The laxity can be the result of pregnancy or weight loss. When a breast lift
is needed, I utilize the lollipop scar technique. A breast lift procedure is very similar to a breast
reduction. The only difference is that with a breast reduction, breast tissue is removed.
Combined Breast/Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Procedures.
Many of my patients who have breast surgery also have other procedures performed at the
same time. This allows for one surgery and one recovery. The most common combined procedures performed by Dr. Rhee are breast surgery, whether it is a breast reduction or augmentation,
combined with tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty. For those patients

will be conducted at 6:45 p.m. and a preconcert talk will be presented at 7:30 p.m.
A Meet-the Artists reception will follow
the concert. Works will include the “Violin
Sonata in G minor” by Claude Debussy,
“Along the Field” written for violin and

a series of concerts that commemorates
the centennial of World War I, which
started on July 28, 1914 and lasted
until November 11, 1918. The “Great
War” has had global consequences that are
still with us today. Its effects on the artistic
community were catastrophic, as it forced many
visual and musical artists into exile, including
Rachmaninoff, Chagall, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and
many more. Composers and artists continued
to practice their art despite tragic upheavals;
however, culture was profoundly transformed.

Meet This Long Island Women
Dr. Cynthia Paulis
Physician and Writer
Dr. Cynthia Paulis with Gloria Gaynor
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Massapequa Park but
lived 10 years in Washington, DC
and Virginia for college and graduate
school. I then moved to Missouri
for medical school, New Jersey for
internship and residency, and then
spent four years in Oklahoma as a
military physician caring for veterans
and Native American Indians. I later
moved to Texas to work in border
towns and then came full-circle
back to Massapequa Park.
You’ve had an interesting career.
Yes, I graduated with a business degree and ran my own company at the age
of 25, recruiting physicians for rural areas. Eventually I decided to go to medical
school and became board-certified in both family practice and emergency medicine
and worked trauma centers. I was a medical director of an inner-city hospital in
Dallas, Texas and was also a medical reporter for CBS in Oklahoma, with a 15-minute
television spot every Wednesday at noon called “Ask the Doctor.”
Tell us about your Hurricane Sandy experience.
I had no heat or power for almost two weeks, but I was fortunate that I still had a
8r-0/(*4-"/%80."/rApril 2014
house. I volunteered during the day at Cedar Creek Park with the Red Cross and at
night took refuge at Ace Hardware where they had heat, light and people. I would
speak to the people who were coming in, asking them about their experiences.
Some had four feet of water in their homes and lost everything but they were
surprisingly still hopeful and all seemed to say the same thing: “I was lucky.” “We
were blessed.” “We survived.” I started to write down their stories.
What happened to these stories?
A former writing teacher contacted me about a world-wide contest that Gloria
Gaynor was running, looking for survival stories. Forty essays were selected to be
included in her new book, We Will Survive, and mine was chosen. When she sang
at Burn’s Park last July in front of 10,000 people, I had the great privilege of meeting
her for the first time, and to my surprise, she gave a shout-out to four of us in the
audience whose essays had been selected for her book. It was quite a thrill!
I understand that Ms. Gaynor’s hit song, “I Will Survive,” helped you through
medical school.
I was in medical school during the 1980s, when there were not many women
in the medical field and we faced a lot of challenges and prejudice and had to be
twice as good as the male docs. I was the first female class president elected in the
history of my medical school, so I faced a lot of obstacles from some of the oldguard professors. It was very tough and often times isolating but that song always
played in my head and I knew I could survive it and get through, and I did. Of the
22 women out of a class of 135, we all graduated medical school and yes, we all
did survive—and thrive!

couldn’t agree more, and both research and my Facebook friends bear
that out. Most adults are still reading
books, but their reading habits have
changed dramatically over the last
several years.
A recent Pew study tells us that
most American adults read at least
one print book in the past year, but
reading e-books is definitely a rapidly-growing trend—not surprising,
since about half of American adults
own either an e-Reader or tablet.
The number of adults who read an
e-book in the past year rose by 28%,
up five percentage points from the
previous year. However, since the
number of readers who read ebooks exclusively is just 4%, most
adults are also reading print books.
Listening to audiobooks is also on
the rise. Among e-book readers, Nancy Curtin,

to go online for pursuits other than reading. When the Nook could no

Joan Share Liss: Kindle or books…I still read the same amount.
Jeffrey James: I’m afraid it’s books and only books. I grew up with
a father who collected (although he would say accumulated) about

Ellen Dule Wright Torge: I love to own books–especially antique

go camping.

Dear Dr. Shvartsman,
It was a blessing to work with you, here is why:
I came to your clinic for amalgam fillings removal and it was extremely
important for me that the procedure will be done safely and properly. The
consultation with you was very thorough and you addressed all my concerns
and special needs. The treatment was unparalleled to any dental work I had
experienced in the past.
The treatment was professional, safe and AMAZINGLY PAINLESS!
And one more thing - everybody made sure that I was comfortable and
relaxed throughout the treatment, and you took the time to explain everything
you were doing.
My experience really exceeded my expectations!
Thank you so much.

Perspectives on Hormone Replacement Therapy
could use bioidenticals and if that were not enough we could use HRT, but
in ten years of practice I’ve never had to.”
Doctor Finker’s approach is highly individualistic and she finds that in many
patients that come to her with symptoms, and seeking bioidentical hormones, that the issue is not always an imbalance of estrogen. “Often the
issue is progesterone. Sometimes it’s a testosterone issue, at least initially,
when you first go into perimenopause, or the beginning of menopause,
the first thing to go down is testosterone,” says Finker. She also notes that
stress is often the cause of hormone imbalance in many of her patients and
explains that the stress hormone, cortisol, shares a similar pathway with progesterone. That means that when a woman is stressed her body shifts hormone production in the direction of cortisol and away from progesterone,
which can subsequently produce menopausal symptoms. Dr. Finker has had
success with using botanicals such as chaste tree berry and black cohosh
which, she explains, helps to normalize levels of progesterone and estrogen.
And, although Dr. Rabin seems to feel that these herbal substances primarily
have a placebo effect, the Natural Medicines database, the most authoritative and comprehensive database on natural supplements, reports that there
is preliminary research supporting the effectiveness of these substances.
Another up-and-coming hormone that is being used to treat menopausal
symptoms is testosterone. According to Dr. Marcus, testosterone is used for
low levels of desire. However, for many years testosterone use was discour-
aged because of the thought that it could turn into estrogen in the body.
“I feel that they were looking to estrogen for help for some of the things
that were bothering women. For many of them, testosterone may be an
answer. Like energy, bone health, etc.” But testosterone is not for everyone.
Dr. Rabin reports that some of her patients have experienced male-type side
effects including a deepening of the voice, which could be permanent.
What you can take home from all of the information that has developed in
the past decade is that you no longer need to suffer in silence from menopausal symptoms. Despite the fact that HRT does increase disease risk for
certain populations and may not be the answer to aging, there are some
safe, viable options for managing specific symptoms when all the data is
carefully weighed.
Dr. Marcus feels that our bodies were not meant to live past our 40’s or
50’s and that, now that women are living much longer, it will take some
form of hormones to allow women to have a good quality of life into their
later years. “I think that this ‘one-size-fits-all-medicine’ really needs to shift,
especially with something like this. But I don’t think that doctors need to be
God in this case; I think that they need to explain all the risks and benefits to
their patients and let them make their own determination.” ●

To Soy or Not To Soy
Soy is considered to be an active player in the
biology of women’s health because it contains
isoflavones, a class of compounds that acts as
phytoestrogens in mammals. That means that because the molecular structure of soy’s isoflavones
resembles the estrogen made in the human body,
these compounds can bind to estrogen receptors
and cause similar effects as the body’s own estrogen. It is for this reason that the use of soy has
attracted much attention, and much controversy,
particularly for women.
Proponents of soy tout the positive effect that
it has on heart health. Soy

Regarding breast can18r-0/(*4-"/%80."/rApril 2014
cer, there are still no definitive studies that prove
whether soy is harmful or protective. And the jury
is still out about whether soy affects thyroid function, especially in patients who suffer from hypothyroidism. Dr. Marcus and Dr. Rabin believe that
the use of moderate amounts of unprocessed soy,
such as tofu or edamame, can be beneficial for
reducing menopausal symptoms but they warn
against excess use. Other forms of soy considered to be highly beneficial are fermented soy
products such as tempeh, miso, and natto. These
foods contain high amounts of beneficial yeast,
mold, and bacteria which are necessary for optimal digestion.
Dr. Finker restricts soy in the majority of her patients. She believes that the soy that we have in the
United States is far different from the soy found in
Asia and it is her belief that soy disrupts thyroid
function despite the fact that it could be useful to
women who are looking to naturally raise their estrogen levels. Finker recommends the use of alternative ways of accomplishing the same goal of balancing hormones because not enough is known
about whether or not soy is helpful or harmful.

MEGAN MULLALLY
THE LONG ISLAND WOMAN INTERVIEW
Megan Mullally is a quintessential everywoman of entertainment. It’s quite impossible to
think of her without it bringing a smile to your face, as she regularly shares her talent for
heartfelt comedy with projects that span most every medium. Though she’s most well-known
for her award-winning work as sassy, high-pitched Karen Walker on eight seasons of Will &
Grace, she actually started out as a ballet dancer and theatrical actress in Chicago before
launching a television and film career in Los Angeles in 1985. In the next twenty-eight(ish)
years, Mullally has garnered a resume that boasts seven Broadway musicals (Grease, Young
Frankenstein), a talk show (The Megan Mullally Show), a list of memorable guest spots that
reads like a phone book (Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Happy Endings), film (The Kings of
Summer, Anywhere But Here), and headlining roles in television projects such as Party Down
and Adult Swim’s Childrens Hospital. Mullally is currently donning many hats…and shoes…
and wigs…as both an actress in Off-Broadway’s Annapurna, (after an acclaimed run in L.A.
last year) as the kooky Chief on Childrens Hospital, and as a musician with her two-person
band, Nancy and Beth. She spoke with LONG ISLAND WOMAN about finding Karen Walker at the
age of 40, starring in Off-Broadway’s Annapurna opposite real-life husband and Parks and
Recreation funnyman Nick Offerman, and the many new ventures she now holds in the palm
of her hands at the age of 55.
Your mother was a model and your father was a contract player at Paramount. How was
being from a family in the entertainment business effected your own career?
Dad never got his big break, he just had teeny parts in different things. But in Oklahoma
City where I was raised, he was the only theatrical, flamboyant, funny, eccentric person
that I knew in the whole city. There wasn’t anybody else like my dad, because most people
were pretty conservative. He would wear really fancy suits with ascots, and he actually
purchased a 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III and would drive that around town in a Nehru
jacket. He had a really crazy sense of humor, so I’m sure that rubbed off on me to a
certain degree, considering most of the characters I play are really weird and eccentric.
Was being in that environment in any way detrimental to your career?
He didn’t even think that being an actor was a great idea because he thought that
there was so much rejection. I started out in ballet, and I used to do musicals in the local
summer stock theater during the summers, but I didn’t really know anything about acting
when I got to college. It was scary to me. I tried to take an acting class and I was super
intimidated by these very uninhibited kids. I was much more introverted, so it took me a
long time to learn how to be more of an extrovert.
What made you decide to transition from ballet to film and television?
I loved being in a ballet company, and I studied in New York for a couple of summers at
The School of American Ballet in the Juilliard building. I was very devoted to it in the 70s
when it was the coolest thing. Ballet dancers were like rock stars. But I started realizing
that I didn’t have enough real physical strength to be one of the great ballet dancers. I
also started noticing that the ballets I liked the most, were the ones that required some
storytelling. I liked the acting part of it where the character I was playing would have a
mad scene and then die of love or something. Also, at a certain juncture things start to
get not too pretty with your feet.
Playing Karen on Will & Grace put you on the map and brought your comedy ability into
the spotlight. How do you think your life would have been different if you had reached that
level of fame before having hit the age of 40?
I don’t know if I would have been ready for it. I think I had a lot of growing up to do.
I was precocious in many ways, but emotionally kind of immature. I think everything
happens in the timing that it happens in for a reason. It was exactly right. It’s funny,
because (my husband) Nick is on the exact same trajectory. He got Parks & Rec when he
was almost 40. The parallels are weird because he’s younger than I.
Why do you think the role of Karen resonated so well with women?
There’s something about her outspokenness. Karen wasn’t afraid of what anybody
thought of her. That’s a powerful quality. We all know people who are very confident
and don’t really care what other people think of them, but they are few and far between.
Since I turned 50 I have felt like I’m the most
who I am in terms of my appearance.
Most of us succumb to all the pressure to feel like we have to look a certain way, be a
certain way, stay looking young forever, weigh a certain amount, etc. Karen obviously
cared a lot about her appearance but she didn’t give a flying you-know-what about what
anybody thought of her. There’s something freeing about that.
Of your many roles, choose a few that have held great meaning for you and explain your
choices.
Definitely Karen from Will & Grace. I did a play called The Receptionist at L.A.’s Odyssey
Theatre in 2009 and I played the title role. It was only sixty pages, but I used to read it
every day during the run of the play just because I loved it so much. I just loved playing
older than myself, she’s a woman in her sixties from Newark and I had to do my best with
the dialect. Maybe I did okay…(laughs).
I recently did a few episodes of Showtime’s Web Therapy with Lisa Kudrow. I think
I loved it because it was completely improvised. I also did a little indie movie called
Smashed, and I played a principal of an elementary school. I loved that character because
she’s extremely sweet and vulnerable. I don’t get to play very many roles in movies where
I have any kind of serious scenes, and I like doing more dramatic stuff also.
Your character on Childrens Hospital, Chief, is very quirky and at times hideous, to say
the least. How many of her foibles are from your own imagination?
A lot of it! The scripts are just jokes, so everything else is a filling in of the blanks. They
give me hilarious things to do. For example, the wig I wear is a man’s wig from Hollywood
Boulevard that I got for $39.99. And then she has those big, thick glasses and the walker.
Her hunchback was my idea. We just tried to make her as disgusting as possible. I’m in
the minority of Hollywood actresses too when I say that I also don’t wear any makeup
as Chief.
Now you’ve established yourself in front of the camera, what keeps bringing you back
to theater?
Theater is where I got all of my on-the-job training because I never took acting classes
in college. There’s nothing like live theater. And I feel like Annapurna is such an incredible
boon for Nick and I to stumble upon because it’s a two-person play. The cast is my
husband and I. We carpool to work together. We share a dressing room. The set is a trailer
so it’s he and I in a trailer for 90 minutes going up and down and every way you can
think of emotionally, and it’s cathartic. There are comedic parts, but overall it’s more of
a drama than anything else. When we did it in L.A. every night, by the end of the show
people were audibly weeping in the audience. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a play where
that happened.
How did you originally come to Annapurna?
We did it at the same theater where I had done The Receptionist. I had loved doing The
Receptionist so much that I definitely wanted to come back and do another play. Then
Nick threw his hat into the ring and said that he would also like to do a play. He also has
a big theater background. (Odyssey Theatre’s Artistic Director) Beth Hogan had stumbled
across this play by Sharr White. It only had one production done at a theater up in San
Francisco. We really liked it, and then it was a really long time before we could get our
schedules together to just sit down and read through it with Beth and with our director,
Bart DeLorenzo, who also directed The Receptionist. When we read it we thought, “Oh
yeah. This is good.” Of all the theater pieces I’ve ever done, it grew the most from opening
night. I felt like the play just sort of kept unfolding with every performance in a way that
I hadn’t expected. Every night it was something new for the actors. (DeLorenzo will also
be directing the Off-Broadway production of Annapurna.)
How has your experience acting opposite Nick changed since you first worked with him
many years ago on stage in Chicago, and now working with him in Annapurna?
We met doing a play, The Berlin Circle. It’s interesting, I’ve dated a couple of other guys
over the years who were actors, and I always felt kind of shy acting in front of them. But
because Nick and I met acting together, I never felt like that. I think it’s always fun for
us to work together and we really enjoy it. It’s been three plays, a few television shows,
and a few movies now. However, doing Annapurna was the absolute. It goes far beyond
anything else we’ve ever done together. It’s very comprehensive emotionally, and no
emotional stone is left unturned. I’m very excited to bring it to New York.
What have you learned about each other from working on Annapurna?
It’s funny because you would think that during the run of the L.A. production we would
have talked about the play a lot, but we never really did. We just did it. We would run
lines in the car on the way there and then finish running lines once we got to the theater.
Then we’d go to the dressing room and chat about other things. Sometimes after the play
we’d be like, “Oh, that was a heavy one tonight.” We would never deconstruct or talk
about acting. We’re not like that. If I have learned anything, it’s that I know for a fact if
it were any other actor in that role, it would have taken me a lot longer to get there. But
since Nick and I have been together now for over thirteen years, I can just start laying
into him on day one. I would feel really awkward doing that with an actor I just met that
day. I wouldn’t want to be screaming and yelling at some poor guy that I just met twenty
minutes ago. Nick and I just cut to the chase because we’ve been together for so long.
How do you separate work from your personal life?
It just seems to be okay. We don’t really talk about work too much, just in the context of
how it’s affecting our lives. We’re both so busy all the time. We try to keep our weekends
free so that we can spend them together and not be working. Last year was really tough
because Nick has a stage show called American Ham, a one-man humorous show, and
I’ve got this new band called Nancy and Beth, and so sometimes we’re off doing our
shows in separate places.
How did Nancy and Beth come to be?
I went to Austin for a couple of weeks to hang out with Nick when he worked on an
indie movie called Somebody Up There Likes Me. Stephanie Hunt, my band partner, had a
supporting role in the movie. They ended up filming me in this little cameo role and so we
met. Stephanie is thirty years younger than I am, and we just had a funny connection. We

with her husband,
Nick Offerman
hit it off. She showed me around Austin, and we both discovered that we love shopping
for vintage clothes. At one point she mentioned that she played ukulele and wrote songs,
and I said, “Oh, I want to hear your songs.” On the very last day I was getting ready to
leave and she brought her ukulele and said, “I’ll play you a song but you have to sing
part of it with me.” She taught me this part to sing with her, and then the minute that
we started singing it together we just laughed. “Oh my God, we sound so good together.
We really blend!” She ended up moving out to L.A., and Nick decided he should have
someone open for his American Ham show. I said, “Have Stephanie open for you.” So
he said, “Okay.” Stephanie said to me, “Well, I want you to sing with me on one of the
songs.” I did, and then it kept exponentially increasing. The next time we did three songs
together, and then five, and then we started a band.
Why call the band Nancy and Beth if that’s not either one of your names?
(Laughs) I had made a list of about thirty different potential band names that I thought
were fun or funny or interesting. I emailed them all to Stephanie and they were all like,
“The Somethings”… except for Nancy and Beth, which was my favorite, and I just buried
it in the middle of the list. She instantly emailed me back with her choice: Nancy and
22r-0/(*4-"/%80."/rApril 2014
Beth. It was meant to be.
You’re playing in your band on the weekends or you
are shopping for vintage clothing. What else would
we find you doing in your down time?
I haven’t had very much of it lately which is sort
of weird. I’m not really sure how to account for
my time. I’ve had a show in development at the
Independent Film Channel that I am working on
quite extensively, but hasn’t been picked up, and
then I’ve been working on the band a lot. Now I’ve
got two other television shows that are getting
developed. It’s a little crazy.
If you had a weekend in which you could do
whatever you wanted to, what would you find
yourself doing?
Nick and I are homebodies. We like to hang out with
our three dogs at home in L.A. One of the things that
we like the most is just getting the chance to go out
to the movies. When we have a free day, sometimes
we’ll go to a theater and see three movies in a row.
We never get to go, so we just smash them all into
one sitting. We like to go to Venice in L.A., and have
dinner and walk along the canals. It’s so romantic.
We’re mellow. We’re not partiers. We like to be
together, which is nice. Even now I still feel like I’ve
only known him for a month. When I see him I think,
“Oh, there’s that cool guy that I want to try to crack
up,” or I want to hear what he has to say, or try to
think of interesting things that happened during the
day to tell him about.
It seems that middle-aged women are often
questioned about two things: not having children,
and being in a relationship with someone younger
than them. Have you personally found that to be the
case?
One of the only real remaining taboos for a woman
is not having children. For a man it’s like, “Eh, you
don’t have children.” For a woman, it’s almost like
people really don’t know what to say to you because
they just assume that you desperately wanted
children but were unable to have them, so there
must be some tragedy there that they don’t want
to unearth. For me, I never had a burning desire to have children. When I met Nick, it
was the only time that I really tried, but I was already 44 by the time we got engaged. It
was a little late in the game. I also got my first dog as an adult when I was 41, and even
though it’s not the same as an actual child, it does sort of give you an idea of what you
would be like as a parent. For some reason I felt that maybe I wouldn’t be a good parent.
The age difference has never really entered into anything for Nick (age 43) and I. I’ve
never really noticed a difference. He never misses any pop culture references. I think
that we look about the same age. He looks a little older and I look a little younger, so
it works out.
The new taboo is not having plastic surgery. It used to be a taboo to have plastic
surgery. Especially if you’re an actress and you haven’t done anything to your face,
people just look at you like they feel so sorry for you. They think there must be something
wrong with you if you didn’t do it.
So what’s wrong with you? Why haven’t you done it?
(Laughs) I think part of it, is just that my mom never did anything, so it’s not something
that I was brought up with. But also in a more philosophical way, I’ve always just wanted

You may also see increased lines and extra skin around the eyelids, mouth, jawline and

the baby she had carried for nine months. Linda thought, “The
world can be cruel. I wanted her to have the best opportunity to survive and
thrive.” And so the Mancusos asked the doctors to begin moving her heart’s
tiny hoses. Linda recalls the doctors left Danielle’s little chest open for days, so
they could do gentle CPR when needed. It worked. But then eight months later,
Danielle needed 2 more open-heart surgeries to close part of a valve that should
have closed naturally.
Linda admits they were paranoid parents Danielle’s first year, always worried
she’d get hurt. But Linda says God shifted their focus to the positive by sending
baby sister Nicole.
On the other hand, Danielle knew no fear. She played soccer and basketball in
school, until the day she came home with a permission slip for something new
– fencing. Linda asked, “You’re going to have a sword?” “No Mom. They call it
a weapon!” which did nothing to calm her parents until Danielle insisted, “If the
doctor says it’s OK, then it’s OK.” And it was. And it is.
Two months ago Danielle was a guest at St. Francis’ Heart Ball. She brought a
message to parents of other kids with health challenges. “Don’t tell them they
can’t do something; that they’re not good enough. Don’t ever give up on them.
Cause the minute you do they’ll give up on themselves.”
Linda and Gary never gave up. Neither has Danielle.
After college, Danielle became a certified EKG technician.
Ironic? Maybe not, that now she’s taking care of other

no hunger, no cravings, no necessary exercise, no drugs, and no prepackaged foods to buy, all while
allowing participants to lose 20 to 40 pounds in 40 days.
“This system (helps) balance fat burning hormones,” he said. “All weight gain has a hormonal
component, and everyone has different hormonal imbalances.” He added that most weight-loss
programs are not individualized, which is one reason that they do not work for everyone. The best part
is that we no longer need to guess what’s causing weight loss resistance. The CERF technology tests
