UK expands
plastic
surgery to
meet demand

By Kenny Egg
news@kykernel.com

In response to the increasing local and national
popularity of cosmetic medical procedures, UK‘s
cosmetic-surgery division is moving off campus.

“Every year. for the past eight to IO years.
we’ve seen an increase in people wanting cosmetic
surgeries. in reflection of a national trend." said
Sherry Lackey. a clinical manager for Cosmetic
Surgery Associates. which is part of UK's plastic
and reconstructive surgery division.

This increase patients led to the cosmetic—
surgery division move to UK Healthcare East on
Prosperous Place. which opened several months
ago.

"Our patients complained of having parking is—
sues and campus being a little far to travel." said
Dr. Henry Vasconez. chief plastic surgeon of UK's
plastic surgery division. “We moved in order to get
closer to our patients."

A second expansion of the cosmetic»surgery
center is set to open in the building in January.
Lackey said.

The increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery.
which was the impetus for the move. reflects a na—
tional trend. More than ll) million people had cos‘
metic procedures — including surgical and non—
surgical procedures w performed during 2005. re—
flecting a 222 percent increase over the past eight
years. according to the American Board of Plastic
Surgery. -

Reconstructichsurgcry procedures. such as cas-
es with bum victims. are still performed at Chan-
dler Hospital in the Gill Building. More elective
cosmetic surgeries. such as breast augmentation and
liposuction. are being performed at the new loca-
tion.

The UK Chandler Medical Center. like most
university hospitals. is under non~profit laws. But
according to Vasconez. cosmetic surgery is more
business—oriented.

“Cosmetic surgery is what many business peo-
ple would call a ‘profibcentered’ business." ’as-
conez said. "But the money is used to keep up with
advances. to add services w- and of course. with
any job. you work to eat.”

With cosmetic surgery. there is often a direct re—
lationship between doctors and patients. according
to Vasconez. since insurance does not cover many
surgeries. and so patients pay all expenses out of
their pocket.

Amanda Nelson. news bureau deputy director
for public relations at UK. said the relationship be-
tween a profit—centered practice and a non-profit
medical center isn't complicated. The money from
cosmetic surgeiy procedures helps cover expenses
for reconstructive surgeries and other less profitable
procedures. she said.

"Many of these patients (of reconstructive
surgery) are people who are uninsured or underin-
sured." Nelson said in an e—mail. “UK Healthcare
takes losses on those cases. and the money used
from cosmetic procedures compensates for those
losses."

The revenue obtained also goes into the general
pool for the hospital and usually helps pay for other
services. Nelson said.

UK isn’t the only university taking advantage
of this upward trend in cosmetic surgery. Many of
UK‘s benchmarks are doing the same.

At Ohio State University. applications for the
plastic—surgery residency program have increased.
For the 2007 program. more than too medical-
school seniors from across the world applied. com-
pared to only 100 for the 2006 program. said Peggy
Grafmiller. the program coordinator for the residen-
cy. From the I60 applicants. 50 will be interviewed.
and only two will be taken for the residency.

“Every year. more students apply 160 are the

plays from the sidelines. her team and those

Toward the end of her college career at the
UK, Ashley Davies couldn‘t understand why
she didn‘t care anymore.

With graduation looming. Davies. a
broadcast joumalism major. wondered why
she was disillusioned by the career field she
had chosen.

Davies once had a desire to cover athletics
in broadcast joumalism. She worked in radio
and had internships for television stations cov-
ering sports with big-name local anchors.

But she couldn‘t seem to find a point in
what she was doing.

“It just wasn‘t fun anymore." Davies said.

Frustrated with school and uncertain about
the future. Davies found solace at an familiar
place: the football field.

As a coach at Lafayette High School in

that played her would find her to be no differ—
ent than any other coach.

As a young girl. Davies had a huge inter
est in the sport.

“I always loved sports. especially foot-
ball." Davies said. “In high school. my week~
end would start with Thursday night college
football and end wrth NH- Monday night
football

Originally from Pittsbtirgh. she and her
family were Steelers and University of Pitts-
burgh fans.

In 2002. Davies packed up her Steelers
and Panthers paraphemalia and came to UK .
During her junior year. Davies decided that
she needed a better understanding of the com-
plexities of football. Working as a sports radio
commentator. she was given the opportunity

to Juli] tip with the Lafayette High School
football program as an unpaid obscryer,

Being on the football lield became her cs-
cape from the rigors of school.

“The more I disliked (school). the more I
began to love football." Day ies said, “I would
step onto the field. and everything bad that
happened in my life would go out the window
for a couple of hours a day,"

Despite getting job offers from some local
television stations after her May graduating.
Davies decided to ask Lafayette coaches for a
Job instead.

“She was such a hard worker and showed
that she was committed to the game." said
Lafayette head coach Mike Hamion.

Head freshman football coach Bryan
Boehm said that they had a job opening on his
squad. and the staff decided to have Davies

COACH

 

Continued from page A1

fill the spot as the defensive coordinator.

The coaching staff said Davies brought energy
and a commitment to helping the team develop.

“She had a lot of ideas," Harmon said.

Davies always participated in team practices,
including working out and running plays with the
squad.
“1 would block and throw and catch in prac—
tice," Davies said. “And I was just happy. I'm
tackling dummies and smelling locker rooms, and
I was happy."

Harmon said Davies’ gender made her an odd-
ity in the sport but he had prepared himself for the
issues he expected to arise.

“At the beginning some kids might have given
funny looks, but we didn‘t have any issues at all,“
Harmon said.

Still, referees and other coaches didn’t always
take her entirely seriously.

“People don‘t expect to see a female coaching
football, point blank," Harmon said.

During one game, Davies said, she had to help
call plays as an offensive coordinator. At the start
of the game, the coaches had to come to the mid—
dle of the field for the coin toss.

“The ref looked at me and said that we needed

the real coach for the coin toss," Davies said. “I
told them I was the real coach. At first they think
you're joking or a trainer, but then they loosen
up.“

Davies helped guide the freshman squad to a
5—6 season. She said that she saw her role on the
team as a sort of two-sided job, where she was
both a student and a teacher. _

“I went in just wanting to learn and came out a
coach," Davies said.

Now, Davies said, her future goals after col-
lege are to continue working with football. Her
dream, she says, is to be the defensive coordinator
of a college team.

“Of course, this would be something I want to
do, something no other woman has ever done."
Davies said.

Davies will leave Lafayette and retum to Pitts-
burgh, where she hopes to catch another break like
the one the Generals‘ coaching staff gave her.

“If you are a student of the game and that‘s
what you focus on. the door is open for you."
Boehm said. “I‘d hire her over 13 other coaches
that want the job.“

Both Harmon and Boehm agreed that with a
commitment like Davies showed at Lafayette, she
can be a part of a game that has historically ex-
cluded women.

Davies said she doesn‘t mind the raised eye-
brows or the questions. For her, it‘s what she is
happy with.

“The place I belong the least," Davies said, “is
the place I feel at home.‘

 

Domestic Violence prevention

group calls for too good men

8 Jill [aster
news'cmkernelcom

At least 100 “good guys" are
being asked to give money to
help stop domestic violence in
the Bluegrass region.

The 100 Good Guys pro-
gram is asking for $1,000 from
100 men for the Bluegrass Do-
mestic Violence Program. Two
Lexington women, J.D. Lester
and Abigail Billings, started the
grassroots effort after seeing
television and news stories
about women and children af-
fected by abuse.

In 2004 and 2005, the two
women started a similar pro-
gram, 100 Women of the Blue—
grass, which raised more than
$140,000 for a new shelter after
financial and administrative
problems closed the previous
YWCA shelter.

Lester was inspired to try
fundraising again with the 100
Good Guys program after seeing
all the needs the BDVP has in
providing services to the 17
counties it serves.

“I said, ‘Let‘s get back to
work, and let‘s see if we can get
the men involved,‘ ” Lester
said.

Six UK students and faculty

have given to the effort, includ-
ing UK President Lee Todd.
Lester praised the willingness of
the UK community to con-
tribute.

“We’ve seen some really in-
credible leadership from Dr.
Todd on down," Lester said. “I
think their leadership has in—
spired others in the community.“

One of the 100 Good Guys
is Ronald Langley, director of
the Survey Research Center at
UK. Langley said he decided to
become one of the 100 Good
Guys after performing studies
on partner-related violence
statewide.

“There‘s a great need there
right now," Langley said.

The $100,000 that the 100
Good Guys program intends to
raise is important because there
aren‘t enough beds to house all
of the women and children the
BDVP serves, said BDVP exec-
utive director Darlene Thomas.
The program will use the donat-
ed money to add 12 living units
and 30 beds.

Lester said 27 men are still
needed to donate to reach the
goal of 100 “good guys." How-
ever, giving isn’t just limited to
those able to contribute $1,000.
Financial donations of any size

are accepted, Thomas said, and
volunteers are always welcome.

Thomas said donations are
so vital because the women and
children who use the services of
the BDVP are trying to get back
on their feet after leaving a dan-
gerous situation.

“Our families (at the shelter)
are families who have left
everything behind," Thomas
said.

Thomas also said the holi-
day season brings special needs,
like gifts for the children staying
at the shelter and warm clothing.

“There are so many ways an
individual can give," Thomas
said. “Every little bit helps."

Lester said she believes the
goal of 100 Good Guys is with—
in reach because the area the
Bluegrass Domestic Violence
Program covers, including Lex-
ington, is willing to rally around
the effort.

“The Bluegrass region is a
really giving, compassionate,
wonderful place to live,‘ Lester
said.

Those willing to donate time
or money can call the Bluegrass
Domestic Violence Program at
1-800-544-2022 or visit its Web
site (www.100goodguys.com).

 

UK serves up finals relief

By Alla Rorio
news©kykernelcom

UK is giving students
some relief from finals week
tonight with the Finals Mid-
night Crunch Brunch in
Memorial Coliseum from 9
pm. to midnight.

Students can fill their
stomachs with scrambled
eggs, bacon, biscuits and
gravy, hash brown casserole,
doughnuts, and assorted bev-
erages.

“It’s a great idea,“ said Jef-
frey DeMoss, the executive di-
rector of UK Dining Services.
“That type of service during
exam time, or what I call

stress time, offers a great
amount of relief to the stu-
dents.“

Besides the free food,
there are many activities and
prizes offered. Students can
participate in a free-throw
contest, play pool with UK
President Lee Todd for a
chance to win eRupption Zone
tickets, or simply relax by get-
ting a rubdown at one of the
neck and shoulder massage
stations.

“I played pool with Presi—
dent Todd last year at the
crunch brunch," said Ian
Mcl-lue, an exercise science
and health promotions junior.
“I didn‘t get a shirt and 1 did—

n't win, but playing pool with
the president of the university
made it worthwhile."

The first 2,300 students to
come will get a free long-
sleeved T-shirt at the door.

“We are offering more T-
shirts than we ever have be—
fore,“ said Chris Thuringer,
the head of the Crunch Brunch
committee.

Students who plan to at-
tend and want to get a shirt
should get there early.

“Typically, 3,000 students
show up, if not more.“
Thuringer said. “I expect a
larger turnout this year be-
cause we‘ve really stepped up
promotions.“

most we have ever had apply."
Grafmiller said.

The medical school at OSU
doesn’t perform many elective
surgeries. Grafmiller said. Med-
ical students take residencies at
private practices to receive
more training in the elective-
surgery field.

“Our doctors don’t just stay
at the university for surgeries,"
she said. "Our residents also
travel to private practices to get
a well-rounded experience."

While many other universi-
ties have expanded or are in the
process of expanding their pro-
grams, some are just now look-
ing into getting more involved.

Dr. Michael B. Seagel, the
chief surgeon at the University
of Florida, said that talks to ex-
pand the plastic-surgery divi-
sion are in the very early stages.

“Only about 1 or 2 percent
of our medical students have a
focus in plastic surgery,“ Seagel
said.

No single cause can ac-
count for the entire increase in
interest in cosmetic surgery, but
surgeons in private practices
and at universities agree that a
rise in TV shows covering the
issue has helped.

“Because of the TV shows
like ‘Extreme Makeover,’ it
shows what we can do as sur-
geons, and that helps business,“
said Dr. John Weeter, a
Louisville-based plastic sur-
geon.

Vasconez said the impact
was a “plus-minus" effect.

“The shows get people talk-
ing, but it also helps spread lies
and inaccuracies,“ Vasconez
said. “If it was really true life, it
wouldn't be good TV."

Weeter didn‘t want to fully
credit TV with the increase in
patients either.

"Our population is putting
on more weight every year," he
said. “And that fuels our busi-
ness with doing more liposuc-
tion, more tummy tucks."

Vasconez pointed to techno—
logical advances as main causes
of the increase.

“First of all, advances in
science, such as new drugs and

products that are tested and
then incorporated, helps ad-
vance our business," he said.
“Secondly, our patients drive
our business."

Weeter, a UK medical grad-
uate. became a plastic surgeon
partly because he liked seeing
the immediate results of his
work.

Despite the glamour shown
on TV and the great increase in
patients, the cosmetic-surgery
business is not the most lucra-
tive medical enterprise, Weeter
said.

“There are a lot more spe-
cialists in medicine who make a
lot more than plastic surgeons
do," Weeter said.

But with the increase in pa—
tients, Weeter isn‘t convinced
that medical schools should be
opening up more residencies to
plastic surgeons in what he con-
sidered to be a stable system.

“UK and U of L only have
two residencies a year in plastic
surgery," he said. “Lots of plas-
tic surgeons are crossovers, and
it's a long road to become a
plastic surgeon.“

UK Parking and Transportation will be offer-
ing free “Home for the Holidays“ shuttles to
Blue Grass Airport for UK students, faculty and
staff this week. '

The shuttles will run from Tuesday through
Friday, with daily campus pick-ups every two
hours from 6 am. until 4 pm.

The shuttles, which has run for the last three
years, picked up 25 people last year, said
Chrissie Balding, marketing promotions special-
ist for UK Parking and Transportation. The pro-

gram has also provided shuttles to the airport for
both Thanksgiving and spring breaks.

To schedule a pick-up, send an e-mail with
the subject “Winter Break Shuttle" to ukpark—
ing@lsv.uky.edu. Include your name, campus ad-
dress, campus phone number or cell phone num-
ber and the date, time and location where you
would like to be picked up. Pick-ups should be
scheduled at least 48 hours in advance, and a
representative from Parking and Transportation
Services will call to confirm.

“People are just so stressed with finals and
packing, it‘s just one less thing they have to wor-
ry about,“ Balding said.

Lexington police
must step up their
presence near UK

KERNEL EDITORIAL

This semester. there has been

 

 

  
   
 

 

no shortage of reported crimes in
the campus area. and students are
becoming increasingly concerned
about their personal safety.

In late October and again late
last month. sexual assaults were re-
ported in the University Avenue
area. And on Nov. 27. a resident in
the same neighborhood was hospi-
talized after being shot outside his
home.

Last week. the Kernel reported
that there have been four times as
many burglaries reported on Uni-
versity Avenue as there were in the
same time period last year.

Lt. Dwayne Holman of Lexing—
ton police told the Kernel in the
same article that the increased
number of students in the area
leads to more students living off
campus in cramped quarters.

“The more people you have
causes tension. and people’s reac-
tions to things can strike a fire."
Holman said.

Holman also said Lexington po-
lice are increasing presence in cam-
pus areas. including University Av-
enue.

“We have increased patrols in
that area on certain nights of the
week." He said. “and as (crimes)
happen. we will put more officers
on the streets and add some more
specialized units."

It‘s clear that police need to
step up their activities in campus
areas. particularly near University
Avenue, where several of these
crimes have recently been reported.
Between August and December. po-
lice only made two arrests on Uni-
versity Avenue: both of them were
for traffic violations.

While Holman pointed out that
most perpetrators leave the scene of

the crime and are arrested else-

where. police and students alike
should focus on proactively pre—
venting crimes in the first place.

Increased patrols should result
in fewer crimes. If a potential per-
petrator sees a p
