2005 ULTIMATE MAKEOVER TRIAD WINNER

It was only a few months ago that kindergarten teacher Gail Deal of Greensboro was chosen as the winner of Ultimate Makeover Triad. Just three weeks ago Gail experienced numerous cosmetic surgery procedures from the Patseavouras Center for Plastic and Laser Surgery. Her cosmetic facial procedures included an endoscopic brow lift, face and neck lift, chin augmentation, nose surgery, lower lid blepharplasty and a chemical peel of the lower lids. “I cannot believe the results in just three weeks,” states Gail. “I am amazed and so are my friends and family.” Gail will begin a home skin care regime with the center’s Medical Aesthetician using physician-administered products.

As part of her initial cosmetic dental procedures at the Kraska Center for Cosmetic and General Dentistry, Gail’s teeth were whitened using Zoom! Advanced Whitening from the Kraska Center for Cosmetic and General Dentistry. Zoom! Is a chair-side bleaching process that lightens discoloration of the enamel and dentin. The active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. Gail experienced an increase of up to eight shades in less than an hour.

Gail is also working with ACE Certified Fitness Consultant Tracy Johnson of Triad Fitness. She receives individualized training that includes progressive cardio and strength training routine to increase her muscle tone, cardio respiratory endurance and overall fitness level. Each training sessions begins with a 30 minute power walk to aid in raising the heart rate and to make the muscles more pliable for the strength training portion of the routine. The brisk walk if followed by a 30 minute strength training session, the focus is on working the major muscle groups to tone and increase muscle strength. This is accomplished by using free weights, weighted balls, exercise balls and body resistance exercise. Tracy is also working with Gail on nutrition by discussing healthy eating habits. Tracy provides Gail with a healthy grocery shopping list and nutritious recipes. To date, Gail has lost eight pounds.
