Over the years, through time and years of sun exposure, the damage and the resulting aging effects show on her skin. Dr. Rose will essentially reverse the signs of aging with a lower facelift with liposuction to address her jowling and extra skin on her neck, along with laser resurfacing to address her brown spots & fine lines, and wrinkles, helping her to look 10 years younger THIS THURSDAY- April 19. Suzi will blog about her plastic surgery with Dr. Rose so you can see her before & after surgery, and the beautiful results from her facial rejuvenation. Suzi has already undergone breast augmentation, eyelid lift, and body contour liposuction by Dr. Franklin Rose and she is ready to take the next step in her fight against the aging process.
Suzi Hanks graduated from Cal State Long Beach with a radio/TV/film degree. Suzi’s first job in the industry was at NBC in Burbank. After being successful in her position at NBC, Suzi began to work with shows and stars such as Johnny Carson with The Tonight Show, Wheel of Fortune, Scrabble, Classic Concentration, Donahue, Late Night with David Letterman, and Bob Hope!
Suzi then worked in Wyoming, where she worked at two TV stations in the state and a local radio station. Suzi moved to Houston Texas in 1998 and started working as a reporter for a local news radio station.

”GRWM: Get Ready with me to get Plastic Surgery! While I’m getting my pre op, my surgery’s next week.
What led me to even get a consultation? I had two babies in about four years. I breastfed them both for about a year combined. Right now in my life, I’m actually a full-time content creator. The way I look and feel about myself is extremely important.
I will be going in for two procedures. The first procedure I’m getting done is liposuction, for my mom pouch, liposuction for my love handles, my upper arms, and my double chin. I’m a pretty small person so I don’t think it will be super noticeable. I’m in front of a camera all the time and these things bother me. The second thing I’ll be doing is getting my implants replaced and going a cup bigger through my combined year of breastfeeding experience. I had a large amount of engorgement and mastitis episodes and it caused trauma to my breast that I got done the same year that I got pregnant with my first. I’m very committed to being transparent and open about everything I get done!”

The holiday season, particularly the latter half of December, is the busiest time of the year for many plastic surgeons, cosmetic dermatologists, and doctors who perform weight-loss operations like gastric bypass. Some doctors say they do twice as many of these elective procedures per day in this period as during the rest of the year.
For plastic surgeons, the most popular procedures for December are those that require the most time for healing, like facelifts. Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose performs on average about 15 operations a week, twice the norm throughout the year.
Read the entire story here: Happy New Year: The Busiest Season for Cosmetic Surgery
Many People You Already Know Have Botox, Chemical Peels, Laser Treatments, Filler Injections, Makeovers, and Nips & Tucks During The Holiday Season.

‘OZEMPIC BODY’ – PLASTIC SURGERY UP AS WEIGHT CONTINUES TO DROP Major Uptick in Body Contouring Procedures Says Dr. Franklin Rose
HOUSTON, TEXAS: Dramatic weight loss everyone has been noticing everywhere, thanks to the rising popularity of celebrities, housewives, and people you may already know taking a medication normally used to treat diabetes called “Ozempic.”
“Following extreme weight loss; whether for bariatric plastic surgery patients following gastric sleeve or bypass surgery, Ozempic/ semaglutide, the whole body changes.” Dr. Franklin Rose said.

HOUSTON (FOX 26) – It’s important for women with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer to consider taking the BRCA test which checks for mutations in two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2.
“It’s a life or death decision, it’s not something you ponder over too much,” said Nancy Jacobs who had her first stint with breast cancer at age 32. She underwent radiation and later was advised to take the BRCA test. The test checks for mutations in two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2. Since Jacobs already had breast cancer the test indicated the chances of a re-occurrence. A high score for her meant undergoing a double mastectomy.
Reconstruction surgery with breast implants can have a tremendous impact, and it’s done to improve body image and self-esteem.
“Our breasts as women are how we look at ourselves, it’s our femininity, it’s who we are in a way,” She said, “I can remember looking in the mirror the night before it happened and crying.”
But looking back now Nancy wishes she could’ve taken the test sooner and made the decision to remove her breasts earlier.
There are currently no standard criteria for referring anyone for genetic testing
There are currently no standard criteria for referring anyone for genetic testing. However it’s recommended women with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer also take it.
The test costs about $3,000. If genetic testing is done earlier, it can help make a decision to remove the breasts early. However, the high cost of the test and difficulty in getting insurance coverage is a difficult.
“In speaking with my colleagues, they have a hard time grappling with some of the third-party insurance carriers to get the test covered,” said Dr. Rose. He has performed hundreds if not thousands of reconstructive surgeries on double mastectomy patients.
He is helping Jacobs with her reconstructive process, one he says can have a tremendous effect on how women feel about their bodies post-op.
“As it would relate to the psychological impact of reconstructive surgery, just body image and self-esteem are so much improved,” he said. Reconstruction surgery can have a tremendous impact on how women feel about their bodies after the surgery, and it’s done to improve body image and self-esteem.
ABOUT THE HOLLY ROSE RIBBON FOUNDATION: The non-profit was established in 2005 in honor of Holly Harwood Skolkin and now in her memory by Dr. Franklin Rose and Cindi Harwood Rose. The Holly Rose Ribbon Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that provides 100% free reconstructive surgery to uninsured post-cancer patients. The HRRF offers grief counseling, college scholarships, and more to cancer survivors or to those who have lost a parent to cancer, breast reconstructive surgeries at no cost to the survivor, and arts in medicine activities for children currently undergoing cancer treatment at area hospitals.
During the nearly twenty-year history of the Foundation, there have been no salaries, both Cindi and her husband Franklin have volunteered their services and time to the organization as a whole. All funds collected through The Holly Rose Ribbon Foundation go towards the many costs associated with providing reconstructive surgery like nursing care, hospital stays, and anesthesiologist costs. If you or someone you know is a post-cancer patient who may benefit from the services of the Holly Rose Ribbon Foundation, please visit http://hollyroseribbon.com/
Intraoperative video of a breast reduction for a 40-year old African-American patient by Houston Plastic Surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose. She went from an HHH (Triple H) to a full C-cup. Macromastia or Gigantomastia is a condition causing abnormal growth of breast tissue.
According to research by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, (ASPS) https://journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/Abstract/2004/06000/Breast_Reduction_Surgery_and_Breast_Cancer_Risk_.34.aspx , women who underwent breast reductions had significantly fewer chances of getting breast cancer than those with larger breasts.
“We removed about 70% of her breast tissue and reducing her breast tissue reduces her risk of breast cancer, proportionally. So she not only looks more proportionate following breast reduction but her cancer risk is likewise reduced by about 70% at the same time.” Said Dr. Rose.
