Med Center clinic offers half-cost plastic surgery
By Steve Bailey
Plastic surgery. anyone?
People who want to get rid of those small imperfections through plastic surgery can get the surgery done through a special clinic at the University of Kansas Medical Center for about half the cost of a private physician.
The Resident Aesthetic Surgery Clinic offers surgical procedures such as breast enlargement or reduction, liposuction, face lifts, eye lifts or breast reconstruction done by plastic surgery residents.
Residents are students who have completed medical school and have enrolled in clinical training pro- fessional before specializing in private practice.
Four residents staff the clinic, which opened about a year ago.
Marc Schneider, plastic surgery resident in the program, said patients did not need to worry about residents performing the procedures.

"The residents in the clinic have all finished surgery training programs but want to further their education in plastic surgery." Schneider said. "Most of the residents have four to five years of surgical training."
Schneider said Med Center staff surgeons supervised each surgery, lending guidance and instruction to the residents.
Gouverne, who is fully trained in general surgery and in his second year of residence in plastic surgery, said patients wanting the surgery would benefit financially by having it done at the clinic.
"As a student, it is very important to be given the ball and learn to run with it." Gouverne said. "It lets us have hands-on learning experience with some of the things we will be doing in practice when we are done studying."
"It is not the attending physician's hands doing the surgery, but he is very involved in the procedure," he said.

Max Gouverne, plastic surgery resident, said the clinic provided important learning experience for
"The clinic is particularly good for those surgeries, like breast augmentation, that are not covered by insurance," Gouverne said. "We can offer the surgery at a very reasonable price, and we are able to offer the procedure at the University hospital or at Shawnee Mission Hospital."
Schneider said breast augmentation, which normally would cost about $2,000, would cost about $1,000 through the clinic.
Some of the most common surgeries performed at the clinic include liposuction, breast augmentation and rhinoplasty, Schneider said. Between two and four surgeries a week usually are done at the clinic.
"The University of Kansas has agreed to cut its prices, and staff surgeons and anesthesiologists have cut prices to make the procedure more affordable to those who might not otherwise be able to afford it." Schneider said.
"In the spring we see a lot of females having breast augmentations, and in the fall we would see more liposuction or face lifts," Schneider said.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon yesterday partially lifted the veil of secrecy surrounding the futuristic F-117A Stealth fighter bomber in an attempt to boost confidence in the handling of top-secret weapons programs.
With the release of an 8½-minute videotape, a series of 10 photographs and two fact sheets, the Pentagon revealed it spent $6.26 billion to

develop and build 59 of the dark, delta-winged aircraft. That translated into a $106.2 million price tag for each plane.
The fighter, about the size of the F-15 Eagle fighter jet, was designed to penetrate any radar defense and bomb targets before enemy forces can react.
Excellent Quality!
