Breast Surgeon Announces Donation Program To Benefit Breast Cancer Research Portion of Cosmetic Proceeds to be Donated Toward Charity HOUSTON - Dr. Kristi Sumpter announced today that her practice Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery launched a program in which a portion of the proceeds from all cosmetic breast procedures will be donated to breast cancer research. The ongoing program launches during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. "It was my early work with breast cancer patients as a general surgeon that in large part led my professional path to cosmetic surgery," said Sumpter. "In my practice, I have found cosmetic and general surgery to be a perfect pairing. It is a privilege to work with these courageous women throughout the process." Sumpter's training, dual certification and hospital privileges allow her to work with patients from initial diagnosis to cancer removal surgery (lumpectomy, mastectomy) to reconstructive surgery. This creates an advantageous situation in which the patient does not have to change doctors for her reconstruction. "These women are an inspiration," said Sumpter. "Each experiences fears and obstacles. Each patient faces a mental and emotional battle as well as the physical. After reconstructive surgery, there is an underlying strength as they return to their lives." With increasing awareness, and emphasis on research the effort to defeat breast cancer is stronger than ever. "I'm proud to initiate this program in which we will donate a portion of our cosmetic proceeds to breast cancer research. It's a small gesture that reinforces the dual nature of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery." Sumpter holds board certifications in general surgery from the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery and in cosmetic surgery from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. She is on staff with dual privileges at Methodist Willowbrook Hospital and Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center as well as three ambulatory surgery centers. Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery Specialists was founded by Dr. Kristi Sumpter. Dr. Sumpter has been recognized among America's top plastic surgeons by the Consumer Research Council of America and has been recognized by several Houston magazines as a leading physician in her specialty. Offering surgical and non-surgical options, the practice offers responsible, compassionate care from the initial consultation throughout the relationship with each patient.

New FDA Cosmetic Treatment Hits Houston Produces longer-lasting results in treatments of wrinkles, lips HOUSTON - Dr. Kristi Sumpter announced that Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery Specialists added the highly anticipated Restylane, the latest advance in the battle against wrinkles, to its list of patient services. This "fountain of youth" medical cosmetic product can be used to soften lines, increase lip fullness or smooth and lift facial folds, such as deep smile lines. Arriving for the first time in medical offices across the country, Restylane was approved by the FDA for the cosmetic treatment of facial wrinkles and folds in December. "The product is a significant advancement in cosmetic fillers," said Dr. Sumpter. "It is a biodegradable substance identical to one that is naturally found in the body, so the body naturally absorbs it once it breaks down. It produces a great, almost immediate benefit and lasts six to 12 months, more than doubling the result of similar treatments. Patients have asked about it for more than a year, given its reported success worldwide. There have been several accounts in the media of people going to Europe or Canada to get it." Restylane is administered through local injection to the desired area, similar to Botox or other cosmetic fillers such as collagen and Cymetra. It is the first FDA-approved filler made of a synthetic, biodegradable hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found throughout the body. It works by adding volume to the skin. Because of its makeup, Restylane does not require a pre-treatment skin test. It has been used in more than 60 countries outside of the United States since 1996. Canada approved its use in 1998. In 2002, more than 1.5 million Americans sought treatment of wrinkles through injected treatments and approximately 5 million Americans had non-surgical cosmetic procedures according to the American Society of Plastic Surgery. Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery Specialists was founded by Dr. Kristi Sumpter. The practice provides a comfortable, positive setting while offering responsible, compassionate care for women and men interested in cosmetic surgery procedures and treatments.

Houston Cosmetic Surgeon Takes on Breast Cancer Local doctor offers free breast screening in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month HOUSTON - Dr. Kristi Sumpter and Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery Specialists announced today that the practice is offering free breast examinations during the month of October in honor of the 19th annual National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Uniquely qualified to treat breast cancer patients because of her extensive training in general and cosmetic surgery, Dr. Sumpter is able to provide care for patients from the diagnosis to surgical treatment to cosmetic reconstruction. Her experience has made her keenly aware of the emotional impact breast cancer has on its carriers. "Breast cancer can be emotionally and psychologically devastating to a woman. It may deeply affect a woman's self image. As with any disease, early detection is the best way to overcome breast cancer," said Dr. Sumpter. "We have decided to offer this to women in the Houston Area in keeping with the spirit of the month." Approximately 211,300 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. Due to early detection, there has been a slight but steady decrease in deaths from breast cancer since Breast Cancer Awareness Month began in 1985. Those interested in a free breast exam should call 281-894-9990 in advance for an appointment. Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery Specialists was founded by Dr. Kristi Sumpter. The practice provides a comfortable, positive setting while offering responsible, compassionate care for women and men interested in cosmetic surgery procedures and treatments.
