1 Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 57, No. 4, 2001, pp A Global Look at Psychological Barriers to Women s Progress in Management Virginia E. Schein* Gettysburg College In the early 1970s Schein identified managerial sex typing as a major psychological barrier to the advancement of women in the United States. The globalization of management brings to the forefront the need to examine the relationship between sex role stereotypes and requisite management characteristics in the international arena. A review of the replications of the Schein research in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, China, and Japan provides the basis for a global look at the think manager think male phenomenon. Implications of the outcomes, especially among males, for women s progress in management worldwide are discussed. Barriers to women in management exist worldwide. According to a recent International Labor Organization report ( Women in Management, 1998), although women represent more than 40% of the world s labor force, their share of management positions remains unacceptably low, with only a small proportion obtaining top jobs. Butterfield and Grinnell (1999), in their review of 3 decades of research on gender, leadership, and managerial behavior, pointed to the international perspective as an important new frontier. As management becomes increasingly internationalized, research efforts need to follow suit. Cross-national comparisons help avoid oversimplistic explanations and ethnocentric biases (Berthoin Antal, 1987). The discovery of psychological phenomena that transcend national borders facilitates efforts to enhance the status of women in management. Management is going global, and it is time for research on women in management to do so as well. *Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to the author at the Department of Management, Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, PA [ The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues
2 676 Schein Berthoin Antal and Izraeli (1993), in an overview of women in management worldwide, stated that probably the single most important hurdle for women in management in all industrialized countries is the persistent stereotype that associates management with being male (p. 63). If the managerial position is viewed as a masculine one, then, all else being equal, a male candidate appears more qualified by virtue of such sex typing of the position than a female candidate. In the early 1970s Schein s empirical investigations of managerial sex role stereotyping revealed that think manager think male was a strongly held belief among middle managers in the United States. Both male (Schein, 1973) and female (Schein, 1975) managers perceived that the characteristics associated with managerial success were more likely to be held by men than by women. To the extent this attitude is unchecked by structural limitations, a decision maker will favor a male candidate over a female candidate for the same position. As a psychological barrier to the advancement of women in management, the think manager think male phenomenon can foster bias against women in managerial selection, placement, promotion, and training decisions. The globalization of management brings to the forefront the need to examine this phenomenon in the international arena. Replications of the original Schein studies provide an opportunity for such an examination. Internationalizing the research question requires studies in several countries, on more than one continent, preferably using the same instrument for comparison purposes (e.g., Haire, Ghiselli, & Porter, 1966; Hofstede, 1980). A review of the replications of Schein s research in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, China, and Japan provides the basis for a global look at the think manager think male phenomenon. The Schein Studies All of the replications used the same methodology and analyses as the original 1973 and 1975 empirical studies. Schein (1973) developed three forms of the Schein Descriptive Index (SDI) to define both the sex role stereotypes 1 and characteristics of successful middle managers. All three forms contain the same 92 descriptive terms and instructions, except that one form asks for a description of women in general (Women), one for a description of men in general (Men), and one for a description of successful middle managers (Managers). The instructions on the three forms of the SDI are as follows: On the following pages you will find a series of descriptive terms commonly used to describe people in general. Some of the terms are positive in connotation, others are negative, and some are neither very positive nor very negative. We would like you to use this list to tell us what you think [women in general, men in general, successful middle managers] are like. In making your judgments, it might be helpful to 1 Sex role rather than gender role is used throughout the article so as to maintain consistency across research studies. In the early 1970s a distinction between sex role and gender had not yet been made.
3 A Global Look 677 imagine you are about to meet a person for the first time and the only thing you know in advance is that the person is [an adult female, an adult male, a successful middle manager]. Please rate each word or phrase in terms of how characteristic it is of [women in general, men in general, successful middle managers]. Ratings on each of the 92 terms are made according to a 5-point scale, ranging from 1(not characteristic) to5(characteristic) of [women in general, men in general, successful middle managers]. Each subject receives only one form of the SDI and is unaware of the purpose of the study. The research hypothesis is that successful middle managers are perceived to possess those characteristics, attitudes, and temperaments more commonly ascribed to men in general than to women in general. Intraclass correlation coefficients (r ) from two randomized groups analyses of variance are computed to determine the degree of resemblance between the descriptions of Men and Managers and between those of Women and Managers. Analyses are performed separately for male and female participants. U.S. Outcomes Corporate Managers In 1989 Brenner, Tomkiewicz, and Schein replicated Schein s earlier work. Their sample consisted of 420 male middle-line managers and 173 female middleline managers drawn from four manufacturing companies, four service-oriented companies, and one combined service and manufacturing company in the United States. The results revealed that the attitudes of male managers were remarkably similar to those held by male managers in the early 1970s. For the males, there was a large and significant resemblance between the ratings of Men and Managers, whereas there was a near-zero, nonsignificant resemblance between the ratings of Women and Managers. As with Schein s (1973) earlier results, the outcomes confirmed, among males, the hypothesis that requisite management characteristics are perceived as more likely to be held by men than by women. In the same year Heilman, Block, Martell, and Simon (1989) also replicated the research among 268 male managers. Their results also confirmed the hypothesis. The Brenner et al. (1989) study also found that female managers attitudes differed from those of their earlier counterparts. Among the females, there was a large and significant resemblance between the ratings of Men and the ratings of Managers. There was also a similar resemblance between the ratings of Women and Managers. Unlike Schein s (1975) earlier finding, however, these outcomes were not significantly different from one another. Thus, for the females, the research replication did not confirm the hypothesis that managers are seen as possessing characteristics more commonly ascribed to men than women. According to Brenner et al. (1989), this outcome appeared to be a result of a changed view of
4 678 Schein women, rather than a change in perceptions of men or perceptions of requirements for managerial success. Management Students In 1989 Schein, Mueller, and Jacobson replicated Schein s work using management students. Their sample consisted of 145 male and 83 female upper class management students enrolled in a small private liberal arts institution in the United States. Their analyses revealed a large and significant resemblance among the males between the ratings of Men and Managers and a nonsignificant resemblance between the ratings of Women and Managers, thereby confirming the hypothesis that managers are seen as possessing characteristics more commonly ascribed to men than to women. For females, there was a significant resemblance between the ratings of Men and Managers and between Women and Managers. These intraclass coefficients were not significantly different from each other. As such, the hypothesis was not confirmed among females. In 1995 Dodge, Gilroy, and Fenzel replicated the research using a sample of 113 male and 77 female adult Master s in Business Administration (MBA) students. They obtained similar results. The hypothesis that requisite management characteristics are perceived as more likely to be held by men than by women was confirmed among the male students but not among the female students. Think Manager Think Male in the United States Compared to female managers in the 1970s and the attitudes they held, female managers some 20 years later no longer sex-type the managerial position. These female managers see women and men as equally likely to possess characteristics necessary for managerial success. No longer influenced by stereotypical thinking, these managers would be expected to treat men and women equally in selection, placement, and promotion decisions. On the other hand, the male managers in the replication studies hold attitudes similar to those of male managers in the 1970s. Despite all the societal, legal, and organizational changes that occurred in the almost 20 years between the studies, male managers continue to perceive that successful managerial characteristics are more likely to be held by men in general than by women in general. The pattern of attitudes between management students and the corporate managers is very similar. Female management students do not sex-type the managerial position. Male management students, on the other hand, view the management position in the same way as the male managers. Over the course of almost 3 decades, males have continued to perceive men as more likely than women to possess characteristics necessary for managerial success.
5 A Global Look 679 International Studies Internationally, women hold only a small proportion of management positions and even fewer at the highest posts ( Unequal Race, 1993). According to national surveys worldwide, women s share of management jobs rarely exceeds 20%. And the higher the position, the more glaring the gender gap ( Women in Management, 1998). Do the same psychological barriers to the advancement of women exist worldwide? To what extent does sex role stereotypical thinking about the managerial job exist in other countries, and how does it compare across countries? Schein and her colleagues conducted two international multicountry replications to begin to examine managerial sex typing globally. Schein and Mueller (1992) selected Germany 2 and the United Kingdom as research sites for replication of the stereotyping research done in the United States. According to Berthoin Antal and Krebsbach-Gnath (1988), there are very few women in management in Germany, as reflected by a sparsity of facts and figures on them until the mid-1980s. In a major study of 45,000 German companies in 1988, only 5.9% of top managers and 7.8% of managers at the next level were women (Berthoin Antal & Kredsbach- Gnath, 1994). In the United Kingdom, according to Davidson (1989), about 20% of managers and administrators are women. Although the occupations in which women are managers are traditionally female, such as catering and retail, Hammond (1989) pointed out that more women are entering sectors that are not traditionally female, such as banking, insurance, and manufacturing. Schein, Mueller, Lituchy, and Liu (1996) extended the international investigation to the People s Republic of China and Japan. Since the 1949 revolution in the People s Republic of China, official government policies have promoted the equality of the sexes, and all Chinese women are expected to take part in production (Stacey, 1984). Although the employment of women in China is relatively high, about 78% of the female labor force work in low-tech industries and sections (Yi-hong, 1992). Hildebrandt and Liu (1988) reported that 8.9% of Chinese managers are women. Korabik s (1992) interview study of Chinese managers suggested that this figure may be somewhat higher if all types of industries and enterprises are considered. Women hold posts as factory production workers, workshop directors, chief accountants, although they still account for only a small percentage compared to men...the higher the post, the fewer the women (p. 204). Although Japanese women constitute 40% of the workforce ( Women in Japan, 1992), only 8% of all managers are women ( Unequal Race, 1993). Employed women tend to hold different types of jobs and earn less money than 2 The data from Germany were collected in West Germany just prior to reunification. All references to the status of women in Germany pertain to the same area.
6 680 Schein their male counterparts (Rosenfeld & Kallenberg, 1990) and in large corporations are office ladies : clerical workers who serve tea to businessmen. Management students were studied in each country. The German sample consisted of 167 female and 279 male management students in a major university. In the United Kingdom the sample was composed of 78 female and 73 male business students enrolled in a metropolitan polytechnic school. The Chinese sample consisted of 123 female and 150 male undergraduate upperclass students enrolled in a school of business in a large city in China. The Japanese sample was composed of 105 females and 211 males enrolled in business courses at a university in a large Japanese city. International Outcomes The hypothesis that managers are seen as possessing characteristics more commonly ascribed to men than to women was confirmed for males in Germany and the United Kingdom (Schein & Mueller, 1992) and in China and Japan (Schein et al., 1996). Among the males in all four countries, there was a high and significant resemblance between the ratings of Men and Managers and a low, often close to zero resemblance between ratings of Women and Managers. These outcomes are very similar to those found among U.S. male management students. The Chinese male sample exhibited the highest degree of Men-Manager similarity. A detailed comparative display of the international outcomes can be found in Schein et al. (1996). Among females, the hypothesis was also confirmed in the United Kingdom and Germany (Schein & Mueller, 1992), as well as in Japan and China (Schein et al.,1996). In all four country samples there was a reasonably large and significant resemblance between females ratings of Men and Managers. Across country samples there were differences in the degree of resemblance between females ratings of Women and Managers, ranging from near zero in Japan to moderate in the United Kingdom. All of the Women-Manager coefficients, however, were significantly smaller than their respective Men-Manager coefficients. The U.S. female management student sample, by comparison, did not sex-type the managerial position. Cross-Cultural Comparisons Unlike U.S. female managers and management students, female management students in other countries sex-type the management position. The variations in the degree of managerial sex typing, however, may reflect the females views of opportunities for and actual participation of women in management in their respective countries. For example, in Japan, with few women in management and little impetus for change ( Women in Japan, 1992), females see no similarity between women and managers.
7 A Global Look 681 On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, where females perceive a moderate degree of similarity between women and managers, there is support for improving the progress of women in management. For example, many of the United Kingdom s top companies committed themselves to Opportunity 2000, a voluntary business-led initiative designed to improve the status of women in the workforce (Davidson & Cooper, 1992). And finally, in the United States, where the most progress for women managers has occurred, the females do not sex-type the managerial position. Although the females responses may serve as a barometer of change, the similarity in strength of the male perceptions may reflect intractable attitudinal barriers. That the Chinese males show the strongest degree of managerial sex typing is probably not surprising. Chinese women have been considered men s appendage during the many thousands of years of feudal society (Xi-hong, 1992). Gender discrimination in China is often not considered as such, but rather as a true difference based upon a belief in the male s basic superiority (Korabik, 1992). Even women who do become managers are termed iron women, meaning that they are masculine or without innate female characteristics (Xiao-tian, 1992). Despite government policies promoting equality (Stacey, 1984), the Chinese male appears to have strongly held attitudes more closely akin to those of its feudal patriarchal history than modern day reforms. Although China s history is different from that of the other countries, the attitudes of the males in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and the United States are not that much different from those of the Chinese. The similarity in strength of the male perceptions is somewhat disquieting. Regardless of context, there appears to be a devaluation of women s qualifications among male students of management worldwide. One of the most important hurdles for women in management in all countries has been thought to be the persistent stereotype that associates management with being male. These results provide strong empirical support for that observation, particularly among males. These replications reveal a strong and similar pattern of sex typing of the managerial position among male management students internationally. Schein et al. (1996) observed that, As they become managers and decision makers of the future, these stereotypical attitudes will continue to limit women s access to and promotions within management internationally (p. 40). An International Managerial Stereotype Is there an international managerial stereotype? Although actual requirements and behaviors are undoubtedly different, are there some characteristics perceived to be important to managers in all cultures? How do women fare, compared to men, on these possibly universal requisite management characteristics?
8 682 Schein Schein (1994) examined the data from six research samples the U.S. corporate managers and the management students in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, China, and Japan for cross-cultural similarities in perceptions of requisite management characteristics. For each of the six samples, the 15 items rated as most characteristic of successful managers were arrayed. Characteristics found on all six lists or five out of the six composed the international managerial stereotype. The male (N = 1,278) and female samples (N = 729) were examined separately. For the males, the characteristics meeting the criteria were leadership ability, ambitious, competitive, desires responsibility, skilled in business matters, competent, and analytical ability. The average ratings of Women and of Men were compared with the average rating of Managers on these seven items. Women were rated lower than Men (and Managers) on all characteristics in all six samples. On all items, except competent, the Women s mean was significantly lower than the Men s. This focus on actual items is not meant as a form of hypothesis testing, as the main analyses do that. That women are seen as less likely to possess characteristics perceived internationally as requisite management characteristics seems, however, to increase the height of the managerial sex-typing barrier. Heilman et al. (1989), in an extension of their replication study among males, also showed the importance of these same characteristics and women s perceived lack of them, even as managers. They found that when target terms of women managers and men managers were used, Men were still seen as more likely than Women to possess the key characteristics of leadership ability, desires responsibility, skilled in business matters, and analytical ability, four of the seven items identified by Schein (1994). And even when successful men managers and successful women managers were used, Men and Managers were seen as more likely to have leadership ability than Women. The items meeting the criteria among the females were leadership ability, competent, desires responsibility, skilled in business matters, analytical ability, self-confident, prompt, and well informed. A set of items similar to those identified by the males is not surprising, as most samples exhibited a very high degree of similarity between males and females on their ratings of Managers. Also not unexpected, Women were generally rated lower than Men, although the differences varied across samples, and there were some instances of Women rated as similar to Men. Of the eight items, across the six samples, the Women s mean was significantly lower than Men s on five items, and there were no differences between the means of Women and Men on competent, prompt, and well informed. Compared to the male responses, the differences between Women and Men on all eight items were noticeably smaller than those observed between Women and Men among the male sample.
9 A Global Look 683 Looking at the international managerial stereotype items illustrates rather dramatically the unfavorable way in which women are viewed, especially among males. Male management students in five different countries and male corporate managers in the United States view women as much less likely to have leadership ability, be competitive, ambitious, or skilled in business matters, have analytical ability, or desire responsibility. If one holds this view, as apparently most males do, it is no wonder that women globally have difficulty entering and advancing in managerial positions. It is also important to point out that requisite characteristics for managerial success also vary from country to country. In each study, the perceptions of the participants determine what is perceived to be masculine or feminine. And in each study, these characteristics are compared with the characteristics that the participants perceive to be necessary for managerial success. Conceivably, what could be masculine in one culture could be rated as feminine in another, but both cultures could sex-type the managerial job as male if they perceive males as more likely to have whatever characteristics they see managers as likely to have. The international managerial stereotype, as described by Schein (1994), tells one part of the story. There are some basic and seemingly important characteristics that are both universal and perceived, at least by males, as held by men only. On the other hand, the high degree of resemblance between men and managers across the male samples fills in the rest of the story. Regardless of what characteristics successful managers are thought to have, these characteristics are still perceived to be held primarily by males. As Izraeli and Adler (1994) concluded, The specific image of an ideal manager varies across cultures, yet everywhere it privileges those characteristics that the culture associates primarily with men (p. 13). Think Manager Think Male: A Global Phenomenon? Overall, these studies lend strong support to the view that think manager think male is a global phenomenon, especially among males. The strong degree of managerial sex typing found among Chinese, Japanese, British, and German male management students is similar to that found among U.S. male management students. Despite the many historical, political, and cultural differences that exist among these five countries, the view of women as less likely than men to possess requisite management characteristics is a commonly held belief among male management students around the world. The research on sex role stereotyping and requisite management characteristics, first done almost 30 years ago in the United States, followed up with U.S. replications, and extended internationally, allows us to see the strength and inflexibility of the think manager think male attitude held by males. Despite enormous changes in the status of working women in the United States between the early 1970s and the late 1980s, the corporate males in each decade hold the same
10 684 Schein view. Male management students in five countries, differing politically and economically, hold similar attitudes, ones not dissimilar from the U.S. corporate executives. The global nature of managerial sex typing among males should be of concern to those interested in promoting gender equality worldwide. The strength of the relationship between characteristics perceived to be held by men and those perceived as required for managerial success may explain why efforts to enhance the status of women in management are so difficult. Underlying the resistance, the foot dragging, and the excuses may be a deeply held attitude of for men only or only men are really qualified to do these jobs. Neither changes in women s workforce participation nor cultural differences seem to affect the view of women as less likely to possess qualities necessary for managerial success. In the United States many people believed that as women moved into management, managerial sex typing would diminish. And it did, among women. But men have continued to see women in ways that are not complimentary vis-à-vis succeeding in positions of authority and influence. For example, in a Catalyst survey (1996), male chief executive officers (CEOs) and female senior executives in Fortune 1000 companies were asked why more women had not attained senior managerial positions. Men said it was women s lack of general management experience or line experience that barred their entry into top spots. But women identified male stereotyping as the major barrier. Once again gender stereotyping works to suggest that women don t have the masculine characteristics necessary for the tough line positions. Women recognize the insidious effects of such stereotyping on their careers, but men continue to operate with blinders on when it comes to the influence of gender stereotyping on decision making. Globally, managerial sex typing exists among men and women. Women vary cross-culturally, however, in their attitudes. Based on the U.S. outcomes, we would predict that as their participation rate in management improves, they will see men and women as equally likely to be qualified managers. This participation rate, however, can be kept low if the attitudes of male decision makers, influenced strongly by managerial sex typing, are allowed to go unchecked. Legal and Structural Efforts Schein and Mueller (1992) recommended continued international efforts to pass equal employment opportunity legislation and the encouragement of corporate structural mechanisms to circumvent the negative impact of stereotypical attitudes on women s opportunities. Legal and structural mechanisms are essential to the change process. The results of the Brenner et al. (1989) study suggested that had the legal pressures in the United States been less and these attitudes gone unchecked, women s gains would have been less dramatic. The psychological barriers, at least among male decision makers, have not diminished: They lost their
11 A Global Look 685 force when governmental pressures for equal opportunity and concomitant corporate structural changes to ensure such equality were introduced. Increased recruiting efforts, more objective measurement of managerial abilities, rewards for affirmative action compliance, and constant monitoring of the number of women in the managerial pipeline, among other efforts, decreased the opportunity for stereotypical thinking to enter into decisions on selection and promotion. As reported by Berthoin Antal and Izraeli (1993), international legislative efforts are increasing. During the 1980s all industrialized countries passed equal opportunity laws. The scope of and legal pressure behind these laws vary among countries, with some relying on voluntary compliance and others, such as that of Australia, having more force. In 1986 Australia passed an Affirmative Action Act based on the U.S. model. Hede and O Brien (1996), in a study of 1,228 Australian firms, found that the percentage of women in management increased significantly after passage of the act, from 17.2% in 1990 to 21.7% in Research on sex role stereotyping and requisite management characteristics can facilitate the legal and structural changes that are still necessary. Empirically grounded research can be a powerful tool for change, especially in emotionally charged areas such as equal opportunity, and can lay the groundwork for corporate structural changes. It can also serve as a barometer of attitude change among women and among men a watchful measure of what has yet to change. Research Needs Although laws and corporate practices focusing on objective criteria and removing structural barriers are important, it seems time to address ways to change stereotypical attitudes as well. Schein and Davidson (1993) pointed to the need for more research on attitude change during the management education years. Experimental studies to determine effective interventions, done cross-culturally, might lead to important management curriculum applications worldwide. More research is also needed on the function that maintaining such stereotypical views of women holds for males. Cognitive consistency theories of attitudes might be helpful here in explaining the continued strength of this stereotypical view despite behavioral evidence that contradicts the view. As a manifestation of men s attempts to preserve their advantage in the workplace, the need to perceive women as not qualified for traditionally male occupations may well be rooted in sexism (Yoder, this issue) and power issues (Lipman-Bluman, 1984). Rather than focus solely on the glass ceiling, perhaps we also need to learn more about factors contributing to the male manager s need to have a protective power shield. Further research examining managerial sex typing as a global phenomenon is also needed. Managers, as well as management students, should be included in future international replications. The relationship between sex role stereotypes and requisite management characteristics needs to be examined in a wider array of
12 686 Schein countries, such as those in South America and Africa. Such research would allow for comparisons between developing and industrialized countries and enhance regional comparisons. There is enormous power in cross-cultural research. The replications of the managerial sex-typing research in the United States have taken a unique U.S. outcome and established it as a global phenomenon. The pervasiveness of the phenomenon makes a strong argument for implementing organizational changes that can mitigate its effects. A foundation of international research establishes the phenomenon as an attitudinal barrier to women s advancement that cannot be ignored or dismissed. The research outcomes can fuel applied efforts promoting gender equality in management worldwide. Other aspects of research into women in management require a similar cross-cultural look. As called for by Berthoin Antal and Izraeli (1993), The international comparative perspective needs to be relocated from the periphery of research on women in management to the core. It needs to be integrated and mainstreamed into all our understandings (p. 91). The extensiveness of managerial sex typing internationally reflects the global devaluation of women. Based on a worldwide evaluation of the status of women, Rhoodie (1989) concluded that the social, economic and political status of women, compared to men, is still one of subordination (p. 432). Embedded in all cultures are traditions, practices, and views that impede women s equality. Workplace barriers are one aspect of a whole spectrum of discriminatory practices. Recognizing managerial sex typing as a major barrier to women s opportunities can unite women managers in their efforts for change and link these efforts to the broad one of enhancing the rights, freedoms, and opportunities of all women globally.

I'm not the girl that everyone likes. I'm not beautiful nor gorgeous, full-bodied (sexy) that other likes. Just a girl that wants to be happy with the simple or big things, blessing that life brings me and share with it with the people that are important to me, friends and especially my family. Nobody has a perfect life. We all have own problems, Standout and learn know how to deal with it in a better way. Stop giving up hope, because you never know; it could still happen. Life is all about taking risks. If you stop taking risks, then you'll never know what you are capable of. When you let go of what is not meant to be, you clear a path for good stuff to find you. You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to live someone else's life. Live your life now you are magnificent in your own way of dealing with life.

Your plastic surgeon is the best person to advise you on when you're ready to fly, as they understand the specifics of your procedure and should be monitoring your recovery. Generally speaking, I advise women who get breast augmentations to wait at least a week to 10 days before traveling by plane. Additionally, during the flight, it's important that you get up and walk around the cabin to help prevent against blood clots. Finally, stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, and ask for assistance if you need to put any baggage in the overhead bins. Best of luck.

Wait a week to 10 days before flying after breast augmentation.

You may be able to fly as soon as 7 to 10 days after breast augmentation.
I assume that you're asking this question as a potential passenger on a plane, rather than as a pilot. In either event, your plastic surgeon is best-equipped to advise you on this matter. There are a number of factors that will determine when it's safe for you to fly, from how long the flight is to how well you're recovering. When you're up in those friendly skies, you should get up and walk around the cabin to promote blood circulation, which will help prevent against blood clots. Be sure to ask for assistance putting any luggage in the overhead bins, as you should avoid lifting anything more than 10 pounds.
Check with your surgeon
You should check with your surgeon as every surgeon has different post op instructions. The best source of information is your surgeon and any material given to you by your surgeon's office!Good luck!

Flying After Breast Augmentation
This is something I am always asked by patients. I like my patients to wait 7 days and at least see me for one post op visit before flying the friendly skies. BUT, please remember that you cannot lift your luggage. This is something easily forgotten, but a VERY important part of your post op instructions. Have a great time on your trip, but please be mindful of your surgeon's instructions.

Flying after breast augmentation
Thank you for your question. Every surgeon has different protocols for patients from out of town. In my practice, we see a lot of breast augmentation patients from out of town. My protocol is to do all pre-op paperwork and testing before arrival. We would do the initial consultation and pre-op on a Monday morning, hold operating room time on Tuesday, see the patient for a post-op appointment on Thursday and they can return home (Fly) Friday. You will not be able to lift bags at that point, so you you will need assistance. Also if you are taking a flight over 1 hour, you should walk up and down the isle at least once an hour. Stay hydrated as well. You should check with your surgeon to get their protocol, but I routinely do the above and it has worked well for me in my practice.
Flying after Breast Augmentation
Thank you for your question.In my practice, I don't necessarily restrict flying, but the things that go along with traveling- such as carrying luggage, and being especially careful not to get bumped into during travel. Also, what kinds of activities will you be doing once you get to your destination? Talk with your plastic surgeon about his/her post operative instructions and do your best to carefully follow instructions.Good luck in your procedure and recovery.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Tim Lincecum wasnt the only big leaguepitcher to make a bunch of Angels minor leaguers eyes bug out Thursdayafternoon.
While Lincecum pitched in a Single-A game, closer BrianWilson was firing fastballs against Low-A hitters on an adjacent diamond atIndian School Park.
The Giants wanted Wilson and Lincecum to get their work donein a more controlled environment. That paid off when Wilson needed just 15pitches to record three outs. So the Giants asked the Angels to send anotherhitter to the plate to allow Wilson to throw a few more.
You can bend those rules in minor league camp. Or maybeWilson is just bored and wants to make the game harder by recording four outsan inning. Wouldnt put it past him.
One of those outs came when minor league catcher Eric Simpicked a runner off second base after a double. Sims name doesnt getmentioned in the litany of catching prospects in the system, but he had anoutstanding instructional league and hes well liked among the coaches and minor league officials.
Wilson finished with two strikeouts and a lineout to secondbase.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said if Wilson comes out of thesession with no issues, he could appear in a Cactus League game on Saturday.The Giants continue to take it easy on their three-time All-Star closer, whopitched just twice after Aug. 15 because of right elbow inflammation.

I'll Tell You Who Can Beat the Wiz - Blackhawks vs. Fatty Rick Nash's Preview
Time: 7:30 PM
TV / Radio: WGN / WGN 720
Know Your Foe: Light the Lamp
dude, dude... DUDE!
In their first central division match up of the year the Blackhawks have the pleasure of hosting the Fatty Rick Nash's (now with an overpriced side of Wiz!).
Hot off their first first win of the season against the Detroit Red Wings the FRN's lost to the Buffalo Sabres.
Oh, ummmm...
Whatever. The shitshow dressed up as a hockey game last night down in Raliegh was all tricks I'd like to see over this holiday weekend. I've heard enough of the, "I guess we're just trying to be a little too cute out there". None of the passes last night were cute, hardly any of them would even be considered passes. Not that history has show us that they let up on the cute at the UC, but hopefully getting outworked last night in all areas knocked some sense into their heads.
From the looks and sounds of everything all signs are pointing to Ray Emery getting his second start in net. Which is good because I'm sure Corey Crawford is more than willing to slam the door into a few guys' legs after last night. I'm going to assume a few shake ups in the rest of the lineup as well. Can't imagine John Scott, but now that I've said it I'm sure Cool Hand Q will prove me wrong. Rationally thinking though, could see a chance for Sami Lepisto, but more likely the myth known as Rusty Olesz will play. Then again, a call to Rockford might be in order. Hopefully something to change things up a bit. Carcillo has a nice chat with the supplemental discipline committee at 1, so we'll see how everything shakes out.
This game would be a good chance for the Blackhawks to snap back into reality. With the FRN's having one of the worst penalty kills in the league the Blackhawks could show some improvement to the clown shoes four-for-whatever power play they're currently working on. After his eight game suspension and playing in just his third game of the regular season, The Wiz will make an appearance at the UC. I'm sure with shenanigans in tote. The FRN's are without their other prized acquisition over the summer, Jeff Carter who is currently on the IR. Whatever the lines shake out to be look for Patrick Sharp to start up that point streak again. In his time against the Blue Jackets he has 13 goals and eight assists.
These early games against struggling opponents are the two points the Blackhawks don't need to be leaving on the table. Building on the few nice things from last night -- Brent Seabrook and even Steve Montador went out to flatten some dudes/Captain Give-A-Shit beasting at the dot, the Blackhawks have a chance to make all of us forget about Raleigh.
See you ladies and gents at 7:30.
Let's go Hawks!
Hattie, I'm docking you points for not calling Nash a weiner tucker. Requirement of the blog. ;)
He he he you said Fatty Rick Nash!

Tony Thompson stands off to one side, taking in the scene.
He's thrilled for the foursome, they're his friends and teammates. But Thompson, the youngest son of CougGreat Jack Thompson had earlier made a promise to himself -- and watching his teammates sign Pac-10 letters of intent only deepens his resolve.
"I had a little bit of a chip on my shoulder," says Thompson.
He's always been a hard worker, it runs in the family, but no school offered Thompson. So be it, he thought. He was still going to run out of the tunnel one day. He was still going to play Pac-10 football. And not only that, one day he was going to start. That was the pledge.
JUMP FORWARD TO Aug. 30, 2008. The official stats don't show Thompson as having started this year -- WSU officially counts starts as from their base units and there's only one tight end in the base offense. But Thompson, on the first play of the first game of the season, started for the Cougs. Just as he's started other games for Wazzu this year.
It's taken a lot of sweat, blood and untold hours of extra work to get there. But it's not enough... not for Thompson. And that's pretty much the point.
How he got here is a lesson in itself. And it serves as a big part of the roadmap for the Cougs to get back to winning seasons and bowl games.
THOMPSON DELAYED ENROLLMENT (called grayshirting for scholarship players) his first fall before walking on at WSU. He'd spent his high school years working to get better than other players with more God-given athleticism and now looking around the WSU practice field, he knew he would have to do it again. Now at the college level, just about everyone here was a high school star. His redshirt season was spent on the scout team.
As a freshman and sophomore, he packed on more weight. It helped in some areas, and it took away from others. Most importantly, he honed his long snapping and special teams skills -- it was the best way he could help the team, and so he attacked it with enthusiasm, while still with the steadfast goal to develop into a Pac-10 tight end. He played in 12 and 6 games those two years, the latter cut short to injury.
This offseason, prior to his junior year, he reworked his body. It's a different 234-pound package Thompson started this year with, and the result of the offseason work has resulted in increased playing time on offense.
"Tony is very passionate about being a Coug -- he cares a lot about this team and its success," says TE's coach Rich Rasmussen. "He's put in the work to make himself a better tight end, he's done a great job to get himself better, but he's also going to do anything he can to help the team -- he plays several positions on special teams. You can't underestimate heart and determination."
THERE'S FURTHER TO go for Thompson. He's always had a great set of hands. But he can improve on his blocking. Sometimes, he says, he can get too analytical and over-think some situations and at 6-2, 234 pounds, he doesn't have that prototype 6-5, 260 pound size.
But what he does have is lots of dedication and resolve. And that's why he's earned a scholarship getting Pac-10 snaps. And Thompson isn't alone -- there are a number of guys on the Cougars who have a heightened work ethic and mental toughness. But WSU also needs more of them.
And, yes, while heart and work ethic are often the tipping factors between winning and losing, they won't bring WSU back to prominence all on their own. There will need to be an influx of talent in the recruiting classes to come. Asked about the lopsided losses this season and what the future may hold, Thompson says the Cougars are on the right path.
"I just feel bad for the seniors," he said. "This is their last go-around. But I look at guys who are redshirting or (sitting out '08 after transferring) , it's going to add a lot more depth next year. That's a huge bright spot for me, and those guys have a lot of talent. But ugh, my heart really goes out to these seniors...but I also believe in the long run we'll get it done."

JACKSONVILLE - At full strength, it was already going to be a monumental task for the Cherokee County Lady Warriors to knock off three-time state champion Jacksonville in the Class 4A, Area 12 volleyball tournament on Tuesday.
But a rash of injuries and sickness forced Lady Warrior head coach Dax McDonald to dip into the junior varsity ranks to help out.
The younger players made an impact, but it wasn't near enough as Jacksonville swept Cherokee County 25-16, 25-10, 25-9 to end the Lady Warriors' season at 17-16.
"It's tough when you've got a week and a half to prepare for area and you lose some of your impact players," McDonald said. "The girls who were playing up from JV today, they're good, solid players, but sometimes the thing people overlook is team chemistry.
"Before the injuries and sickness happened, these girls had been playing together as a team since the end of last season, and they've had months to gel together. You can't expect that same team chemistry automatically when you throw in three new girls, no matter how talented they are. I thought they stepped up and did well, and I thought they played hard and didn't give up, but Jacksonville is a fantastic team. It just makes our job that much harder when we're having to replace key players."
The players McDonald was attempting to replace was Erica Ellzey, Grace Locklear and Tyleigha Reyes. Reyes played some in the match, but McDonald noted she was not 100-percent.
McDonald brought up libero Nataile Walls, outside hitter Emma Walker and middle hitter Destinee Scott. Walls posted three digs and Scott had a pair of kills.
"It was a good learning experience for them," McDonald said. "They've never seen that type of speed and play before."
Coley Battles led the Lady Warriors with eight kills and five blocks. Shana Hanson finished with five digs, two kills and two blocks.
Sierra Stone and Aniya Robinson led Jacksonville (39-10) with nine kills apiece. Stone also contributed seven blocks, two digs, two assists and an ace. Robinson added three digs and an ace.
Ann Poe posted 10 digs, five kills, four assists and two aces. Tatiyana Thomas tallied 24 assists, seven digs and three aces. Reagan Stallings finished with 15 digs and an ace.
The match marked the end of the volleyball careers for five Lady Warrior seniors: Battles, Kari Arnold, Meagan McGatha, Lexi Cooper and Kaitlyn Coheley. McDonald said his seniors will be missed.
"They mean the world to our program and to me," he said. "They're my first real group when I first started coaching (at Cherokee County). Coley and Kari are the only two left from that first varsity team I had. Meagan, Lexi and Kaitlyn are fantastic players. I rely on all of them, not just because they're the oldest and they're seniors, but they really are leaders. They've been really good mentors to the other girls."
