Hello. I have been away too long from this blog and have experimented with a local radio show that was interesting but I’ve tired of that and will now try to be a better blogger! There is a loophole in the law that allows doctors with only an MD but perhaps no surgical training to […]

If you have had massive weight loss in the range of perhaps hundreds of pounds and massive hanging of tissue , then you should consider the Lockwood type circumferential trunk lift which may require hospitalization and even transfusion. In proper hands, magnificent results can be achieved in post bariatric surgery patients who are extremely deformed by the hanging […]

When the fact that the buttock and thigh begin to show sagging skin and the reality sets in that sagging skin plus-or-minus bulging fat dictates that you choose not to be seen in a bathing suit or shorts, it is time to consider some form of suction and/or buttock-thigh lift for treatment. If the problem consists primarily […]

It may actually stimulate collagen [and possibly bone] to form and may leave a permanent change. For this reason, I only use this product down deep near the cheek bone [maxilla] for a midface type cheek augmentation. I would not […]

My take on the wrinkle line fillers is that the hyaluronic acid products [Restylane, Juvederm ] are safe and similar with minor differences in duration of product and neither are permanent and are supposed to last about 6 months, yet may last longer. Prevelle silk is another HA product that evidently is less painful to inject the wrinkle and […]

People don’t appreciate anything they get for free…there absolutely must be some responsibility taken by each person for some level of financial sacrifice to get health care before they can make mature decisions about how to use or abuse that expensive product. Your child’s right to have free Accutane stops where I can’t afford to […]

The reality is that you can not have every person get the most advanced treatment, because it just cost too much. I decided NOT because to have an MRI of my knee which has a torn meniscus [I think] because my copay is too much. A patient on welfare or medical or Medicaid or even […]
