TAMPA, FL, November 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center (http://www.castellanocosmeticsurgery.com) is now offering free consultations to patients seeking cosmetic surgery in Tampa. The offer applies to all procedures performed at the Center, including breast enlargement, liposuction, tummy tuck, facelift procedures and more.
"I'm pleased to offer free consultations for patients," says Dr. Joseph J. Castellano, founder of the practice. "The consultation is a vital part of the surgery process. It's where the patient and surgeon get to better know one another as well as what the expectations are. It's also the time when there can be a frank discussion about the patient's needs and the best options available for those needs."
Dr. Castellano says that there are several important things to keep in mind during a consultation to ensure a successful meeting. Above all, the patient should come into the meeting knowing the answers to important questions such as if they have any important health concerns about which the surgeon should be aware, or why the patient wants cosmetic surgery in the first place.
"Tampa is my home, and I want what's best for the community. I want to make it as easy as possible to get professional information and guidance about cosmetic treatments," notes Dr. Castellano. "People have different reasons for wanting to change how their body looks, but sometimes they're not the right reasons. For example, liposuction can be a fantastic choice for men and women who want to improve their body shape, but it is not a quick fix for being overweight."
Second only to breast enlargement in Tampa, liposuction is one of the most popular procedures performed in the city. Dr. Castellano has seen many patients with stubborn fat deposits that don't seem to go away, regardless of exercise and a proper diet. In those cases, liposuction is often the right option.
"Many people aren't aware if they're eligible for a certain type of cosmetic surgery, such as liposuction," says Dr. Castellano. "Our free consultations will give patients the ability to learn about a procedure and see if it's the right one for their needs, all without any financial risk. It's a win-win for everybody involved."
When going in for a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Castellano would like to remind patients about the importance of asking questions. Patients should inquire into the cosmetic surgeon's background, such as education and training, as well as experience in the particular procedure of interest. And because all surgeries have an inherent level of risk involved, it's also important to discuss the risks and possible complications that may occur. This will help the patient make an educated decision on whether or not to undergo the procedure, as well as to prepare the patient on what to do should a complication arise.
"The patient's most important responsibility during a consultation is to get informed and ensure he or she is comfortable with the surgeon," says Dr. Castellano.
Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center (http://www.castellanocosmeticsurgery.com) was founded in Tampa by Dr. Joseph J. Castellano, a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical Association. A Tampa native, Dr. Castellano's unique, personalized, hometown approach has redefined the local cosmetic surgery scene in facial rejuvenation, breast enhancement, and body contouring.

Texas taking new approach to parole decisions
Defying its tough-on-crime image, the state of Texas paroled more prisoners this past fiscal year than in any other in the last decade -- 24,342 from September 2010 through August 2011. This means about one-third of parole applications were granted, a rate about six percent higher than it was 10 years ago.
What is parole?
Parole, according to Black's Law Dictionary, is the "conditional release of a prisoner from imprisonment before the full sentence has been served." Parole is normally conditional on the convicted ...
The Risks of Using Debt Settlement Companies
2012-11-06
While people across the country continue to watch their bills pile up and face mounting credit card debt, some have recently been looking for a new approach to resolve their financial troubles. Sensing people's concern -- and, at times, desperation -- a new industry of "debt settlement companies" has arisen, claiming to be the answer for which many people have been searching. Unfortunately, this primarily unregulated business often takes advantage of the very people it claims to help, leaving people with larger debts than they had originally.

Advantages of Incorporating New Businesses in Maryland
2012-11-06
As many large and small business owners know, the decisions made early on in the life of the business can have significant implications down the road, as the business continues to succeed. One of the first decisions a future business owner must make is where the business should be incorporated. At times, people look only to the one or two states with the most business-friendly reputations, without considering the potential financial and logistical complications. Often, incorporating right at home in Maryland is the best option for future business owners.
When incorporating ...
New Law Passed to Prevent Underage Drinking in Illinois
2012-11-06
In an effort to stop teen alcohol use, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn recently signed a law that makes giving alcoholic beverages to anyone under 21 a misdemeanor. Under the new law, it does not matter where the alcohol is served -- which means that it is a crime to serve alcohol to someone underage in public or inside of someone's own home.
In addition, the new law - House Bill 1554 - states that if you serve alcohol to someone who is underage and they subsequently go on to hurt someone else or themselves because they were intoxicated, as the adult who served the alcohol, ...

Do Arizona's Red-Light Cameras Make Intersections Safer?
2012-11-06
This is the question that many Arizona city and county officials are asking as they attempt to determine how red-light cameras impact road safety. There is debate whether such programs decrease auto accidents, and if red-light cameras should continue to be used.
Red-light cameras are used in intersections to enforce traffic laws. The cameras take pictures of motorists who run traffic lights and the city then issues a traffic citation to the driver through the mail.
Camera companies - two of which are based in Arizona - opine that red-light cameras are safe, cost-effective ...
Study Shows that Financial Incentives for Drivers Reduces Speeding
2012-11-06
Speeding kills. According to government statistics, approximately 12,000 Americans die every year in car accidents caused by speeding. Officials have attempted to reduce speeding on United States roads in many different ways, but nothing has had a dramatic impact.
A new study, however, may have found a way to decrease speeding and keep our roadways safer. In a study partly funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), researchers placed a small GPS device in participants' cars. The GPS system reported the speed of the car against the posted speed ...
Hydraulic Fracturing Brings Risks and Rewards to Pennsylvania
2012-11-06
The advent of hydraulic fracturing has brought a whole new economy to Pennsylvania. Fracking -- which uses pressurized water, sand and chemicals to force natural gas out of underground pockets -- has unlocked a huge and previously untappable reserve of gas in the Marcellus Shale. In 2011 alone, the Marcellus Shale supplied 6 percent of America's natural gas. That number is only expected to grow as fracking technology becomes more advanced.
Many people stand to make money off the Marcellus Shale fracking boom. Of course, the oil and gas companies have the most to gain, ...
New Process for Deferred Action Leads to Increase in Immigration Scams
2012-11-06
Recently, the federal government announced a new process for some individuals to gain authorization to work after requesting consideration of deferred action. On June 15, 2012, the Secretary of Homeland Security outlined the "Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" plan. The new process will allow some people the opportunity to remain in the United States for a period of at least two years, with the chance to apply for a renewal thereafter.
"Deferred action" means the government will choose not to pursue a removal action against the ...
Massachusetts Court: Anxiety During Traffic Stop Not Grounds for Search
2012-11-06
Picture in your mind the last time you got pulled over by the police. Between the loud siren, the flashing lights and the approaching police officer -- never mind the looming threat of an expensive traffic ticket -- you were probably pretty nervous, right? Maybe you fumbled with your wallet a little bit or acted anxious when you spoke with the police officer?
If so, you probably didn't think that your reaction was all that unique or suspicious. In a recent case, the Massachusetts Appeals Court agreed. It ruled that nervous behavior alone is not sufficient evidence to ...
