Botox, Myobloc & Dysport
For Wrinkle Correction
all are derived from botulinum toxin. when injected into the muscles of facial expression, such as muscles around the eyes that cause the "crow's-feet" and the "frown-lines" caused by the action of the muscles between the eyes, the toxin temporarily paralyzes the muscle and relaxes the skin. if injections are made every 3 months for a year or two the muscles weaken and lose their strength to wrinkle the skin for much longer time.
For Face And Neck Shaping
advanced cosmetic surgery techniques use botox to shape the eyes, nose, lips, chin & neck.
For Hyperhidrosis
botox also is a treatment for hyperhidrosis. when injected into the skin botulinum toxin blocks the receptors that cause sweating and therefore reduces the perspiration on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and underarms.
Botox Vs. Dysport
fda approves new wrinkle treatment by dr. nathan newman.
Nearly 2.5 Million Americans Had Botox Injections In 2008 For Cosmetic Reasons.
the fda has ended the longstanding monopoly of botox (botulinum toxin type a) by approving the european made dysport (abobotulinumtoxina) for both cosmetic and therapeutic use in the united states. dysport (formerly known as reloxin) is made from the same active ingredient as botox, clostridium botulinim toxin type a.
Unlike Fillers, These Botulinum Toxin Products Temporarily Prevent The Action Of The Muscles Of Expression That Cause The Lines, Creases And Wrinkles On The Face.
the most common areas for treatment include the frown lines, forehead wrinkles, the crow’s feet around the eyes, the rabbit lines on the nose, the creases on the upper lips, and the chin groove. advanced techniques in use of botox can help shape the eyebrows, the nose, the chin and even improve the turkey neck effect caused by the neck muscles.
Like Botox, Dysport Is Administered Via An Injection At The Site Of The Muscle Of Expression That Is Targeted For Treatment.
clinical trials comparing these products have shown that at a four to one ratio dysport to botox is necessary to achieve similar results. dysport tends to work faster but may not last as long as botox if not dosed correctly. the cost difference will be dependant on the unit ratio as botox and dysport units are not equal in strength and duration.
The Cost Of These Products Will Not Change Much In The Near Future, As The Companies Have Priced These Products At Competitive Rates.
The Most Common Side Effects Of Dysport Are Nose And Throat Irritation, Headache
pain and skin reaction at the injection site, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling or drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.
Although, Cosmetic Surgeons In The United States Now Can Give You An Alternative To Botox
the patient should be cautioned to have dysport injected by a doctor that is well versed in the use of and the differences in dysport and botox.
Dermal Fillers
fda approved dermal fillers are listed below according to the type of filler. fillers today can be temporary, reversable & permanent. they are used not only to correct wrinkles and to fill lines, such as the laugh-lines, but can be used to sculpt the face. the treatment combination of botox and fillers have been coined as the "liquid face lift."

stem cell lift.
What You Need To Know About This Unique And Innovative Procedure.
the field of medicine is entering a new era with the use of stem cell technology. as with any new technology there is much confusion about stem cells. the ethical and noncontroversial use of stem cells from your own body fat, known as autologus adult adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells, has come of age, while use of the ethically controversial embryonic stem cells is still being studied and developed. below are the most commonly asked questions by my patients about this unique and innovative method for sculpting your face and body.
What Are Stem Cells From Fat?
non-embryonic adult stem cells are found most concentrated in the fat. adult stem cells remain dormant (non-dividing) until they are activated by a normal need for more cells, or by disease or tissue injury. serving as part of the repair and maintenance system, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish others. when activated, the stem cells in the fat have the potential to either remain a stem cell or become a fat cell, a muscle cell, a bone cell, a cartilage cell, or a nerve covering cell.
Does It Leave Scars?
no. there are no scalpels used in the procedure. specially designed blunt instruments are used to inject the fat and stem cells to sculpt the body areas as desired.
Does It Make My Face Look Fat?
no. the procedure restores the youthful look by restoring the 3-dimensional balance to the face.
Do I Need To Be Put To Asleep?
no. the procedure is minimally invasive and does not require general anesthesia. for very anxious patients, an oral sedative may be given.
Is It Safe?
yes. since it is your own fat there is no allergic or adverse reaction that can happen from the fat stem cells. also, since there is no need for general anesthesia, serious risks associated with general anesthesia are eliminated.
Is It Painful?
most of my patients report feeling mild pressure during the injection that is controlled with local anesthesia and some soreness in the areas treated for about 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure which does not require pain medication.
How Long Is The Recovery?
you will be able to resume your normal daily life immediately, limited by the degree of swelling that you experience after the procedure. most patients have noticeable swelling in the areas treated from 3 to 10 days depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing response.
How Long Will The Results Last?
the results should last for about 5 to 10 years. the results are affected by your lifestyle, habits and genetics. smoking and weight fluctuations diminish the results.
How Will It Look Over Time?
since it is your own live tissue, it will be undetectable and will change along with the rest of the surrounding tissues it is found in. in addition to having restored the 3-dimentional balanced proportions to your face, the stem cells help rejuvenate the look and texture of the overlying skin, restoring your youthful glow.
How Is It Different From Fat Injections?
fat grafting injection results are dependant on the technique used. the technique used is a major factor in how much viable fat cells are transferred to the desired area. in the stem cell face sculpting procedure, i use a unique patent-pending process, which allows me to double or triple the number of stem cells that are going to be used to reposition the fat and to sculpt the face back to its naturally healthy and youthful appearance. this unique process generates better results, lasts longer and rejuvenates the facial structures as well as the skin over it.
How Much Does It Cost?
the stem cell lift costs can start at $5,950 up to $12,000, depending on the extent of sculpting to be done. the cost of the stem cell lift is a fraction of the cost of older methods of cosmetic surgery since it does not require general anesthesia and takes less time to perform. also, the entire face (forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, laugh lines, lips, jowls, and chin) can be done all at the same time with the stem cell enhanced fat. each area would otherwise entail a separate procedure that costs thousands of dollars. the average cost of older methods of facial surgery ranges from $15,000 to $40,000.
Stem Cell Lift
dr. nathan newman has innovated the stem cell lift to restore your youth naturally using stem cells from your own body. the advantages of the stem cell lift over a traditional facelift is:
It’s A Walk-in / Walk-out Procedure

More Economical
Long Lasting Results
Sculpts All Areas Of The Face In One Procedure
Chin & Jaw Enhancement
The Structure Of The Chin And The Jaw Are Very Important In How The Face And Neck Look Aesthetically.
most men need a solid chin and a well defined jaw line to look masculine and strong. in women, the projection of the chin and the definition of the jaw line is essential to having a desirable contour of the face and neck. genetic makeup, weight changes, facial volume loss over the years, skin laxity and social and environmental factors all play a role in the appearance of the chin and jaw structures and how it changes over the years.
The Aging Process Causes The Loss Of Fat In The Cheeks And In The Pre-jowl Sulcus
along with the accumulation of fat and loose skin in the jowls and under the neck (sub-mental) area. stem cell lift™ is the natural, safe, long lasting method to restore volume in the face and contour it using stem cell enhanced fat cells to sculpt the face back to its youthful appearance. this scalpel-free, scar-free procedure may be performed under local anesthesia to define, augment and smooth out the chin and jaw line.
Chin Augmentation And Jaw Enhancement
Repositioning Your Fat To Give You A Desirable Lower “scar Free” Face Lift
by: nathan newman, md. the chin and the jaw line are the focus of the lower face and neck. a properly proportioned chin and a defined jaw line are essential to having a desirable attractive look. an experienced cosmetic surgeon with an artistic eye will evaluate the face and neck as a whole and then will begin to address each part individually to give you all the options available to improve and enhance your features.
Evaluating The Face And Neck
all of us are created as two separate halves and therefore there is always a little difference between our right and left half of the body. this slight asymmetry is actually what gives us our unique character. it is only when the asymmetry is exaggerated and obviously noticeable that it becomes undesirable. the proportion of the upper face, the lower face and the neck must fall within a certain spectrum for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. the most noticeable part of a disproportioned lower face is a weak looking chin and jaw resulting in an ill-defined neckline. a strong jaw line with a well-defined neck can be masculine or feminine depending on the way its proportions are sculpted.
Fat Repositioning To Augment The Chin And Jaw
fat repositioning is the most natural, healthy and safest and long lasting way to enhance your chin and jaw line. fat is taken with a special instrument from an undesired fat pocket on your body and injected without scars. the fat that is removed helps to sculpt the body with lipo-sculpturing techniques while the fat injections can sculpt the face with minimal downtime. the procedure can be carried out safely under local anesthesia and the results of the fat grafting are natural and undetectable, as the fat takes the characteristics of its surrounding tissues.
Advantages Of Fat Repositioning Over Implants
fat repositioning has many advantages over the chin implants. there is much less risk of infection with the fat, as there is no foreign object in the body. the fat grafting can be done under local anesthesia, without scars and without stitches. there is significantly much faster recovery from fat repositioning than the many weeks needed from a chin implant. there is no chance for the fat to move or to dislodge unlike the chin implants. implants are limited in size and shape, whereas fat is injected in any quantity and to as many areas as needed to achieve the desired sculpted natural results.
Advantages Of Fat Repositioning Over Other Injectables
fat repositioning results are long lasting and can be permanent. most of the other injectable products available today are temporary and will not last more than 1 year. the permanent filling substances are not as versatile as fat. the amount of filling material needed to achieve similar results to that of fat injections would not look as natural as fat and will cost much more than the fat. more importantly the long-term results of such large volumes of non-absorbable fillers may cause undesirable side effects or reactions.
Fat Repositioning Vs. Face Lift
while in the past the misguided idea to look younger was to pull tighter, today’s cosmetic surgery re-establishes a youthful appearance by restoring, in a proportioned manner, the fullness to your face and by sculpting the face and body. even when doing a traditional or a “lunch time” face-lift, fat repositioning is needed to restore volume and sculpt the face. advanced fat repositioning techniques can be used to achieve a natural, undetectable, “scar free” face lift with out the risks, pain, recovery time, and cost associated with a traditional face lift.
Fat Repositioning With Liposcupting
fat injections to the chin and jaw can be combined with other procedures such as liposuction or liposculpture of the neck to achieve a better-defined jaw line and a more sculpted neck. the fat on the neck and jowls can also be reduced with injections of mesotherapy solution or with lipozap to define the jaw line and the neck.
Thread Lift
thread lift is an alternative approach to the traditional face and neck lift. these special threads are designed to lift saggy skin under local anesthesia and without the use of the knife. other forms of suspension lift devices are becoming available, such as the ribbon lift, that help lift the skin without the risks, scars and recovery time associated with the traditional surgical face lift.
Thread Lift
the thread lift is a non-surgical face-lift. special modified suture threads are used to lift the droopy tissues of the face under local anesthesia, without a knife, and with minimal to no down time. there are different versions of threads being used to achieve this non-surgical face lift. they are the feather lift (developed in russia), the contour threadlift (fda approved), the looplift, the anchor lift (developed by dr. s. eremia), and the modified threads that i have developed for my patients.
Who Is A Thread Lift Candidate?
good candidates are those patients who wish to correct droopiness of brows, cheeks, laugh-lines, jowls or neck, without the risks associated with a surgical brow lift, face lift, or neck lift.
How Does It Work?
the thread lift procedures use suture materials that have been specially modified to have a hook-like effect. these special threads are strategically placed into the deep tissues using a hollow bore needle or instrument. once inserted into the desired location, the needle instrument is removed and the cogs on the threads are used to lift the tissues into the desired location on the brow, cheek, jowl and neck. at the completion of the procedure, excess threads are cut and removed. the lift effect is seen immediately. the procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and, once the area is numbed, there is no pain. some patients however, prefer to have the procedure performed under twilight sedation. the procedure usually takes less than one hour to complete. patients will have some swelling and soreness for a few days. the day after the thread lift, most patients are able to camouflage any bruising that may have occurred during the procedure.
Are There Any Risks?
the thread lifts are very safe procedures. the risks of this procedure as with any procedure using a needle include bruising, swelling, and infection. if there are problems with the threads, the sutures can be removed, as is done with other suture material. after the procedure: in order to achieve the best results following the procedure, there are some practical care and precautions that must be followed. in order to avoid traumatizing or dislodging the threads from their supportive locations, it is recommended to avoid forceful facial rubbing, exaggerated and excessive movements of the face and neck, and it is recommended to sleep on your back. after 2 to 3 weeks, there are no more restrictions since the lift has set in place with your own tissues.
How Long Do The Results Last?
although some of the sagging that occurred over the years is reversed with the thread lift procedure, the aging process continues. the rate of aging has to do with lifestyle habits, such as smoking, and sun exposure, and genetics. most people will have acceptable results for 3 to 5 years with no adjuvant treatments.
Can I Have Other Procedures In The Future?
the thread lift procedure does not interfere in anyway with subsequent cosmetic surgery and no special precaution is needed for your future procedures. in-fact the procedure is often combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance and maintain the results.
Making Your Lift Last
by combining non-surgical face lift procedures you can maintain your rejuvenated look without resorting to the knife. the most effective and simple combinations are botox, titan skin tightening lasers, lev-lite™ laser skin rejuvenation, and if needed, fat repositioning.
Meso-glow Lift
the meso-glow lift is a unique way in fighting the effects of aging on your face. the meso-glow lift improves fine lines and wrinkles as well as improves the look and texture of the skin. the meso-glow lift provides a natural "face-lift" while providing a healthy glow to your skin. patients are impressed with the immediate results received from the meso-glow lift. meso-glow lift can be combined with other treatments, such as the thread lift , and lev-lite laser treatment , fat repositioning or chemical peels.
Skin Rejuvenation With Meso-glow-lift
intra-dermal-mesotherapy for a youthful skin glow. by: nathan newman, md. skin rejuvenation techniques in the past have been slow to achieve optimal results, along with undesirable downtime. side effects may occur as they try to penetrate the outer skin layer to reach and affect the dermal layer below. meso-glow-lift bypasses the outer skin layer and directly infuses the dermis layer with a nourishing cocktail of essential elements to restore and maintain the radiant, youthful and ‘glowing’ appearance of the skin with immediate visible results.
Treatment Schedule
meso-glow-lift treatments are scheduled 1 to 2 weeks apart for an initial series of 2 to 6 treatments, based on the condition of the skin. once the skin is rejuvenated and the youthful glow restored, maintenance treatments every 2 to 9 months are done to preserve the results.
Treatment Combinations
meso-glow-lift gives you almost immediate results in a safe, natural and effective way. meso-glow-lift treatments can be combined with other rejuvenating methods to restore and maintain your youthful glow. combination treatments can include lasers, lev-lite skin rejuvenation method, skin peels, thread lifts, fat repositioning, and as part of the ‘scar-free-newman-lift’. meso-glow-lift can also be combined with other mesotherapy treatment methods for spot fat reduction, cellulite reduction, hair rejuvenation, and scar revision. as part of the scar-free-newman-lift, meso-glow-lift is a safe and cost-effective treatment that will restore the youthful healthy glow to your skin. as part of the scar-free-newman-lift, meso-glow-lift is a safe and cost-effective treatment that will restore the youthful healthy glow to your skin.
The Meso-glow-lift Cocktail
meso-glow-lift’s elements include:
Vitamins To Stimulate And Maintain The Cellular Mechanism And Thus Boost The Production Of Collagen To Improve Skin Tone And Elasticity

Skin Laxity On The Neck Can Be Corrected By The Titan Laser. This Laser Can Tighten The Loose Skin On The Neck Without Scars, Pain, Or Downtime.
To Learn More About Titan, Contour Thread Lift, Titan & Liposuction, Please Read Dr. Nathan Newman’s Article On: Neck Rejuvenation & Titan
Suspension Lift Methods Called Thread Lift Or Ribbon Lift Use Specially Designed Threads Or Other Products To Lift The Neck With Minimal Incision.
The Other Option Is The Mini Lift Or Short Scar Neck Lift To Tighten Just The Neck, Or A Full Face Lift Where The Face And The Neck Are Lifted And The Skin Is Tightened.
For Those Who Have Some Fullness Under The Chin, The Neck Fat Can Be Dissolved By The Lipodissolve Mesotherapy Method.
a series of these injections can reduce the amount of fat on the neck and jowls and induce some skin tightening.
Liposuction Or Liposculpture Is Another Option In Removing The Fat And Causing The Skin To Tighten On The Neck.
For The Turkey Neck Area
for the turkey neck area where there are visible bands or cords under the chin area the treatments may include:
Botox To The Muscles Of The Neck That Are Associated With These Cords
Suspension Thread Or Ribbon Lift To Pull Up The Loosened Skin And Muscle Causing The Turkey-neck Appearance
Submental Plasty Where The Under Chin Area Is Opened And The Muscle Bands Are Released From The Skin And The Muscles Sutured Together.
Laser Treatments
lasers use specific wavelengths of light to target different tissues for treatment. each laser is used for different treatments and each is associated with its own benefits, side-effects and risks.
Ablative Fractionated
example: fraxel fractionated lasers are safer and have less side-effect but may need to be repeated to achieve results similar to non-ablative lasers for wrinkle correction and skin resurfacing.
Ablative Non-fractionated
examples: erbium, co2 these lasers have been replaced for the most part by the newer fractionated versions due to safety, patient comfort, and faster recovery times.
Non-ablative Lasers
examples: ipl (intense pulse light), v-beam, aura i, coolglide, titan, zerona, blue-u.
Titan
the titan laser is used to tighten loose skin and fine wrinkles on any part of the body - forehead, eyes, face, jowls, neck, arms, thighs, knees, etc… it is an in-and-out procedure. no anesthetic and no recovery time.
Zerona
non-invasive, painless, affordable series of treatments to lose excess fat from any part of the body – neck, arms, abdomen, sides, back, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, etc…

Go Green Beauty Facials
using ionized water to firm and tone your skin. by: dr. nathan newman. with the green revolution, comes the integration of alternative medicine into traditional western medicine to help you live longer, younger and healthier. in japan, hospitals use a very acidic ionized water to help clean wounds, treat diabetic ulcers and help disinfect the bacteria and viruses without the need for caustic chemicals. this acidic ionized water can also be used on the skin to help reduce inflammation, irritation and itching. it has been further noted that people who regularly use ionized acidic soft water to wash their face tend to have younger looking skin. the go green ionized beauty water has been integrated into traditional facial techniques to help give you clear, soft, youthful and healthy skin.
What Is A Facial?
a professional facial may include the following steps: skin analysis, cleansing the skin, removing excess oils and dirt, removing rough dead skin, extractions to open clogged pores such as black heads, exfoliation (microdermabrasion, newman peel, other chemical peels), facial massage, customized facial masks to treat a variety of skin conditions (acne, sun damaged and aging skin), application of toners and protective creams, and advice on skin care products to maintain your results.
The Benefits Of Facials
there are many variations and additions to the traditional european facial, yet all facials are done to restore the youthful softness, clear complexion and an even-toned glow to your skin. facial treatments may help clear acne, sun spots and skin discoloration, and wrinkles.
Ionized Beauty Water Facials: The Ph Effect
it has been discovered that the characteristics of water change based on its ph. the presence of excess sediments, such as calcium, in water causes the ph of the water to rise and become alkaline. this water is called hard water and is harsh on the skin. as the water is ionized to a lower ph, the water is acidified and this acidic water is called soft water. applying the ionized soft acidic water to the skin will help to keep the pores open and help clear up excess bacteria, reducing acne and other blemishes. in addition, it works as an astringent to firm and tone the skin and to help reduce wrinkles, premature aging and acceleration of oxidative cascades of cell wall destruction, which causes wrinkling and age spots.
How Often Should I Get A Facial?
your facial needs are based on your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature) and medical skin conditions. you may need to start a series of treatment sessions that are spaced close together to give you the desired results and then maintain your results with facials at longer intervals. depending on your skin condition you may benefit from getting a facial at two to six week intervals initially, followed by quarterly continuation treatments.
Facials & Cosmetic Procedures
a professional facial is a non invasive and economical treatment that will help maintain a clean, glowing and youthful appearance and may prevent the need for more complicated and more costly treatments. regular facial treatments and a proper skin care regimen will help maintain and even enhance the results of your cosmetic procedures.
Go Green Beauty Facial
the go green beauty facial combines the unique and natural advantages of ionized acidic water with traditional facial methods to benefit you with the desired fresh, smooth, toned, clear and beautiful skin.
Lip Enhancement
full luscious lips are very desirable and are the key to having a youthful and sensual look. many different surgical and non-surgical methods have been attempted to augment the lips. the most common and effective treatment for shaping and plumping the lips are dermal fillers. the most common type of dermal fillers for the lips in the united states are hyaluronic acid fillers and fat injections.
Luscious Lips
the advanced lip enhancement technique. by: dr. nathan newman. lip enhancement has come a long way over the past few years. as part of the scar free newman lift, a new 3 dimensional concept of achieving a natural looking, youthful and cosmetically desirable features, where we fill and inflate rather than pull and stretch is now becoming the accepted way to cosmetically improve and enhance the face and body. the lip, as the rest of the body, goes through changes over the years. for a natural looking, proportional and beautiful lip it is essential to have a thorough understanding the anatomy of the lip and the changes that occur over time.
Changes Over Time
over time the upper lip loses volume and the philtrum (cupid's bow) flattens, the skin wrinkles and the lip thins. the angle of the mouth starts to turn down and appears sad. the laugh lines deepen and the lower face may begin to jowl. the lower lip maintains its shape better but loses the desired proportion to the upper lip. the skin area between the chin and the lower lip may have a deepened line or indentation. these changes cause the lips to look aged and less attractive.
The Old Method
lip augmentation until recently was mostly limited to plumping the lip only. the lips then would look unnatural and disproportionate to the rest of the face. some techniques caused the lips to look sausage like or over filled.
New Lip Enhancement
to achieve natural, desirable and attractive lips, the entire area from the nose to chin must be addressed as a unit in proportion to the rest of the face. the lip enhancement methods chosen will depends on the degree of correction needed. most often a filler, such as juvederm or fat, will be adequate to correct the volume loss to plump the lip, correct the wrinkles and lines around the mouth and restore the cupid’s bow. the enhancement of the cupid’s bow is essential to give the lip its attractive shape and curve. when more correction may be needed, fillers can be combined with botox, and advanced lasers such as fraxel to correct the wrinkles and sun damaged skin without downtime.
Luscious Lips
this comprehensive approach to lip enhancement will give you lips that are much more youthful, desirable, attractive and natural looking without more expense or recovery time.
Blepharoplasty
youthful eyes appear healthy and refreshed, while saggy eyes or under eyes fat bulges cause you to look tired and sad.
The Upper Eyelids
with time, the upper eyelid skin sags and becomes increasingly heavy. you may develop forehead lines as a result of the need to constantly lift the saggy skin off the eyelids. the cause of this sagging is usually two- fold. first, the eyebrows droop and push the skin down onto the eyelids as the fat volume on the forehead and upper eye area is lost over time. second, the eyelid skin loses its elasticity and there may be some bulging of the fat in the upper eyelid area. treatment of the upper eyes may require restoration of the lost volume to lift the brows with dermal fillers, lifting of the eyebrows by suspension methods or by an endoscopic brow lift, or removal of lax upper eyelid skin and bulging fat pockets through a eyelid lift blepharoplasty. early on, it may be possible to lift and tighten the skin on the upper eyelids as well as treat the crows feet wrinkles on the sides of the eyes with laser and botox treatments.
The Lower Eyelids
the fat in the cheeks under the eyes is lost over time causing a tear trough deformity. this results in a tindal effect from the thin skin sitting on the veins, giving the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. also, as a result of the fat loss in the cheek area, the fatty support under the eyes may appear like small bags that bulge out. treatment for the lower eyelids include eye serums that reduce the tindal effect, restoration of the fat volume that has been lost in the cheeks and under the eyes with the stem cell lift™, or the protruding fat under the eyes can be surgically repositioned to help correct the tear trough defect. new technologies and methods are allowing for more individualized treatments with less risk, and with natural looking results.
Beautiful Eyes
Restoring Youth To Your Eyes
our eyes are the focus of our face. as we age our eyebrows droop, our eyelids wrinkle and fall, and we develop “bags” and dark circles under our eyes. these changes result in an undesirably tired, aged and sad look. fortunately, advances in medicine and cosmetic surgery can now reverse much of this aged look with little to no down time, with nominal discomfort, without scars, without the need for general anesthesia and with minimal risk. in this article, i will discuss the options available to rejuvenate your eyes.
What Makes Us Look Aged?
the sagging of the eyebrows, upper eyelids are from a combination of the natural aging process and our lifestyle. as we age, the fat in our face starts to shrink and reduce in volume. the skin then starts to sag and the eyebrows droop, pushing down on the upper eyelids. this gives the hooding effect on the eyes. the fat under the eyes also deflates and the veins become visible through the thin skin giving us the appearance of dark circles. the fat that supports the eyeball may also become visible and appear to bulge. in some people the fat does actually bulge out but in many it is mainly the effect of surrounding fat being depleted. the combination of drooping, hollowness, and bulging around our eyes gives us a tired and aged appearance.
Reversing Fat Deflation
the most natural and logical way to correct the undesired effects of volume loss due to fat shrinkage and deflation is to replace the volume with what was there before-fat. under local anesthesia, the fat can be taken from one part of our body (abdomen, thighs, knees) and injected into other areas (face, hands, calves, buttocks) to sculpt the area and to fill it and restore volume. the fat is injected to the eyebrow and lower eye area. the fat becomes part of the living tissues and stays permanently. the eyes are rejuvenated and look natural. the bags under the eyes disappear and the dark circles improve greatly.
Raising The Eyebrow
sometimes the upper eyelid seems to have drooped, but what has actually happened is that the eyebrows have sagged and are pushing on the upper eyelid skin. here the eyebrow must be raised back up to a more natural position. in this case, removing the eyelid skin can cause the eyebrow to droop more and have undesirable consequences. if the fat is not an option to correct the eyebrow droop, then thread lift may be a good choice to correct the problem. under local anesthesia, special threads are placed under the skin with a needle that raise the eyebrow and the upper eyelid skin to a more desired position on the forehead. once the threads have been placed, your body’s collagen fibers form a glue-like support over a 3-month period that holds the eyebrows in their new position. the results can last for many years and if more lifting is needed, it is possible to place more threads. the alternative is a forehead lift, which is costlier, is done under anesthesia, has a longer healing time and carries more risk. the long-term results may be similar to the thread lift for appropriate candidates.
Advances In Blepharoplasty
blepharoplasty is the eyelid surgery done to get rid of the excess skin on the upper eyelids and to remove the bags under the eyes. the excess skin and fat is removed from the upper eyelid and the scar is hidden in the natural fold of the upper eyelid. the amount of fat removed is to provide natural look and not a hollow, sunken or pulled look, as was done in the past. the lower eyelid fat is reached from inside the eyelid, leaving no visible scar on the face. today, the fat is not removed but rather repositioned to fill the hollowed area under the eye. this gives you a more youthful appearance and reduces the dark circles under the eyes.
Skin Tightening
the titan laser may reverse some of the skin sagging by use of advanced infrared light technology. the titan treatment causes new collagen deposition, which tightens and rejuvenates the skin without injections, or downtime.
Wrinkle Removers
the “crow’s feet” lines to the sides of the eyes and the lines under the eyes can be reduced dramatically using a combination of treatments. botox injections can be used to reduce the movement of muscles of facial expression, which cause the creases and wrinkles on the face. botox is most effective if done on a consistent basis over a period of 1 to 2 years. the deep creases can be filled with non-permanent injectable filling materials such as captique, restylane and cosmoderm. a good eye cream and sunblock should be part of an anti-aging skin regimen.
Which Procedure Is The Best For Me?
in order to achieve the most natural, long-lasting, safest and most cost effective desirable results you should have a face-to-face consultation with your cosmetic surgeon. be aware that not all surgeons have the same expertise on all procedures. make sure that what you desire is understood by your surgeon and is appropriate for you.

Lipozap Vs Liposuction
An Explanation Of The Lipozap Procedure And How It Differs From Liposuction
over the past few years many non-surgical procedures that help reduce the appearance of fat and cellulite have become popular. some of these treatment methods include ultrasound devices, suction massage devices, infrared light laser treatments, radiofrequency devices and injection of fat dissolving chemicals into small pockets of fat. although they are not a substitute for liposuction, they do offer an alternative solution for those who are not prepared or who do not qualify to undergo liposuction.
What Is Lipozap?
lipozap is the latest craze in non-surgical fat reduction. lipozap combines mesotherapy, and the velasmooth machine to improve the contour of your body. mesotherapy is injections of lipo-dissolve or phosphatidylcholine into pockets of fat targeted for reduction. a series of four to nine injections are effective in reducing small pockets of fat, such as under the chin or jowls. velasmooth is a combination of endermologie type suction massage, infrared light and bipolar radiofrequency that temporarily improve the skin and the contour of the body with a series of four to nine treatments.
Dermasonic Vs. Velasmooth Vs. Endermologie
endermologie is the first type of suction massage machines used to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite and to conture the body. dermasonic is a suction massage machine with ultrasonic treatment and velasmooth is a combination of the above. there are also other machines with different combinations of these modalities. these machines have been used successfully in combination with mesotherapy to improve the results and to reduce the number of treatments needed. dermasonic has an advantage of ultrasound, which helps to melt the fat and reduce the pain.
Lipozap Vs. Liposuction
lipozap is not a replacement for liposuction. lipozap can be a complementary treatment for those who are candidates for liposuction surgery. liposuction is one of the safest of all cosmetic surgery procedures when done with local tumescent anesthesia. most patients do not need to go under general anesthesia for a liposuction procedure and can resume their basic daily activities one day after the procedure. most patients will experience soreness and do not need anything other than tylenol to help with the discomfort. usually patients can resume full activity, including sports, within two weeks of their procedure. lipozap may improve the results of the standard mesotherapy treatment with a series of four to nine treatments over a few weeks. the injections will cause swelling and soreness similar to liposuction for a few days. lipozap results may be partly temporary and patients may need maintenance treatments to preserve their results.
Summary
lipozap is a good treatment option for individuals with small areas of fat and who will be willing to undergo a series of treatments. lipozap is not a substitute for liposuction.
Hips, Thigh, Buttock, And Knee Sculpting
with advanced liposcupture techniques you can achieve a harmonious and well proportioned figure.
Liposculpting The Body To Create Slender Curves
as the bikini season approaches my patients seek to improve the shape of their bodies as to not be self-conscious about their figures. women tend to have genetically predisposed of fat collection that is usually not resolved with diet and exercise alone. the most common of these areas are the outer thighs where fat accumulates and gives a saddlebag appearance that even in cloths is not flattering. other areas include the fat collection under the buttocks, on the back of the thighs, called the “banana fold,” the inner thigh as well as the knee area. when fat accumulates in the areas, the buttocks appear undesirably wide and the skin on the thighs and buttocks show dimples, indentations and cellulite. in order to achieve a well proportioned contour to the body liposculpting, cellulite correction, mesotherapy (lipodissolve), and liposhifting methods can be used to sculpt the thighs, buttocks and knees. liposuction alone will not necessarily yield a desired outcome. liposculpting techniques must be utilized to contour the thighs and buttocks, while the cellulite correction methods may need to be used to smooth the skin. the secret to achieving a beautifully contoured silhouette is to sculpt the body in a proportionate manner to create, a smooth natural curves that define and accentuate these features.
Hips And Saddle Bags
hips and saddle bags on the outer thighs need to be sculpted to yield a smooth slender curve from the hips and to the knees. some patient’s figures will need liposuction to remove fat from the bulging areas along with liposhifting of fat into depressed areas to attain the desired figure.
Inner Thighs
the inner thighs should not be touching each other when the feet are at their normal distance for standing at ease. the inner thighs must be contoured carefully to achieve this, while maintaining the natural curvature or the inner thigh.
Banana Folds
the banana folds are the fat pockets on the back of the thighs just below the buttocks. to have the best results, this fat must be removed and the area sculpted in a very specific manner. this area requires technical finesse and skills of an expert liposculpture to shape the buttock and thigh in an optimal manner. sculpting this area will improve the shape of the thighs and bottocks.
The Buttocks
there are different shapes to buttocks depending on one’s genetic makeup and personal habits. the buttocks can be sculpted to be rounder, smaller, or plumper. if there is excess lateral thigh fat, the buttocks will appear wide and ill-defined. liposculpture of the lateral thighs, banana folds area under the buttocks and sometimes the lower back area as well, will defined and bring out a beautifully shaped buttocks.
Knees
the knees tend to accumulate fat and knob with time. liposuction was developed to remove such fat pockets and to shape the area.
Front Of Thighs
the front of the thighs must be kept in proportion to the rest of the thigh. if the inner and outer thighs are aggressively liposuctioned in a fuller thigh, the front thighs will appear to protrude unnaturally. if the anterior thighs need to be liposculpted, it must be done by an experienced liposuction doctor since it is a very technically challenging area.
Cellulite Correction
liposculpture will not treat cellulite. there are different kinds of cellulite and there are different surgical and nonsurgical methods that are utilized to correct cellulite. these methods should be combined with liposculting techniques for the best results.
Anesthesia
most liposculpting and cellulite correction procedures are done safely with the tumescent technique local anesthesia. general anesthesia can be given for larger cases or for patients who desire it.
Recovery
after the procedure, patients experience soreness that is similar to that of muscle soreness after a hard workout that does not require pain medication. most patients are able to resume daily activities the next day after surgery and exercise within 2 weeks.
Optimizing Your Body’s Ability To Heal After Liposuction
Patient’s Active Role In The Healing Process
most americans consume diets to high in calories and deficient in essential nutrients. over 70% of adults do not get two-thirds of the recommended daily allowance or one or more nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. these statistics come as no surprise, because most of our daily meals are full of packaged, processed nutrient poor foods that contribute largely to nutritional deficiencies. this results in a shortage of micronutrients and antioxidants that are extremely important to surgical patients undergoing trauma (surgery), anesthesia, and recovery (wound healing). nutritionally raw materials are necessary for the formation of healthy new tissue and blood vessels. this complex process can be severely impaired by a diet deficient in essential nutrients. lie many bodily functions, wound healing is often a standard and successful process performed by our body. however, a patient in poor health may not heal so easily. studies have shown that as many as 30% of patients are malnourished prior to surgery and of course the damage that these deficiencies create in the body not only effect you before surgery but will also allow the body to undergo an extreme amount of stress during the surgery, reeking havoc on the body’s ability to heal at it’s optimal level. however, patients can take an active role before surgery to counter the ill-effect of an unhealthy diet and to reduce the need for drugs after surgery by taking supplements combined with exercise and healthy eating habits will not only promote a healthier body but also gives patients a stronger sense of participation in the surgical process, and also contributes to patients being more relaxed and psychologically prepared for their surgery and the recovery that will follow
Antioxidants Vs. Free Radicals
free radicals are harmful agents that occur in our bodies due to oxidation that takes place on a cellular level. the process of oxidation can be contributed to the intake of chemicals, trauma, insufficient nutrients, stress, and poor diet. excessive free radicals have many harmful effects, such as suppressing the immune system or interference of normal cell activity, which in turn causes tissue damage and affects wound healing. antioxidants are very beneficial and counter the effects that free radicals have on the body and also play an important role the prevention of further tissue damage and oxidation that may occur due to surgery and anesthesia. specific vitamins and minerals that the body needs to fight the damage caused by free radicals, such as vitamin a selenium, vitamin c, and bioflavonoids all act as antioxidants that can be given before surgery to help protect the patient and promote a healthy and speedy recovery. specific supplements will also enhance the body’s own natural ability to heal and protect against free radical damage when taken after surgery, not only helping to optimize surgical results but strengthening the entire system from the inside-out, right down to the body’s cellular level.
Nutritional Factors And Healing
in order for our body to heal, essential and vital nutrients are necessary to promote this process. however, nutrient deficiencies or malnutrition when present can have a severe impact on the outcome of one’s ability to heal after surgery. there is no doubt that adequate amounts of carbohydrates, fat, and protein intake are required for healing to take place. one of the most common forms of malnutrition is due to the loss of protein, which can lead to decreased t-cell function and a decrease in antibody levels ultimately diminishing the body’s ability to defend itself and any wound against infection. micronutrients are essential components that work directly with cellular function and are divided into organic compounds known as vitamins. vitamins and the nutrients they provide for the body’s overall nutritional needs are relied on heavily by the cells that carry out wound healing. copper, zinc, and iron are just a few of the trace elements present in the body and have the closest relationship when it comes to healing the body. it is important to remember that all supplements should be taken under the supervision of a trained medical practitioner to avoid any complications or contraindications that could occur before or after surgery. this will ensure that the right supplements are being taken when the body needs them most, providing the body the best possible chance to heal and recover naturally. by using this approach, you will not only benefit from it after your healing phase is complete, but you will also maintain your surgical results due to your healthy lifestyle change.

this detailed approach in optimizing your recovery and preparing your body for surgery is something that we not only practice at orchid surgery center, but we believer in. being able to support our patients from start to finish not only by providing aesthetic results, but creating complete health and beauty from the inside out. the next article will discuss how to maintain your surgical results after the healing phase.
Star Liposuction
the latest advancement in liposuction: stars liposuction. by: dr. nathan newman. do you suffer from excess fat on your body that causes unwanted lumps, and bulges? are you frustrated and discouraged by the fact that no matter how many times a week you work out, how many trainers you hire, or how many diets you try, that extra pinch or two won’t go away? then you may consider liposuction, the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure performed in the nation today, to free yourself from the undesired fat.
What Is Liposuction?
liposuction is the safest and most proven method of sculpting our body to a desired image. the term liposuction is derived from the fact that the undesired fat (lipo) is removed using a thin tube or cannula that is connected to a special vacuum (suction) machine.
Most Common Liposuction Areas
liposuction can be done to remove excess fat from any part of the body. some common areas are: abdomen, flanks, back, hips, thighs, knees, ankles, arms, neck, chest and breasts in both men and women.
Is Liposuction Safe?
yes. the introduction of the tumescent technique has made liposuction one of the safest surgeries performed in the world today. the tumescent technique uses a mixture of anesthetic and water to be injected into the area where the fat is to be removed from. the tumescent method allows the surgery to be done with local anesthesia and provides protection to tissues that might otherwise be damaged during liposuction.
Considerations For Anesthesia
the decision for the type of anesthesia to be used during liposuction depends on the experience of the surgeon and the desires of the patient. if you are afraid of general anesthesia, liposuction can be safely done with local anesthesia or somewhere in between since the anesthetic pain control during liposuction is from the tumescent solution injected in the fat deposits. for most patients it is safer to have local anesthesia during the liposuction procedure.
Is Liposuction For Weight Loss?
although liposuction is usually not intended as a weight-loss technique, it may be done in overweight individuals to enable them to start and maintain an exercise program along with other life-style changes, such as eating habits and stress management.
Will The Fat Return?
since the fat pockets genetically predisposed to weight gain were already removed by liposuction, the amount of fat that can be stored in those areas is now much less and will not return as it was before, even with weight gain. however, in order to preserve your new figure, you must maintain a stable weight with a proper diet and exercise routine.
What Happens To The Skin?
in most people the skin tends to shrink and tighten to the body’s new figure. in some cases where the skin does not tighten enough, one of the other minor procedures available may be desired to achieve the optimum results.
Can You Liposuction The Same Area Again?
although more surgical finesse is usually needed, liposuction surgery may be repeated on the same area of the body. the stars technique may help to achieve your desired results that were not achieved using other liposuction techniques.
The Stars Technique
the soft-tissue advanced rotary sculpture system (stars) is the latest innovation in liposuction technology. the stars technique is a much more sophisticated method of the oscillating power assisted lipoplasty technology.
What Happens After Liposuction?
there is little to no pain after liposuction. most people describe a soreness-like feeling for about two weeks. many may also have a feeling of numbness on the overlying skin. there is generally minimal bruising which resolves within two weeks. regular daily activities can be resumed the day after surgery, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for about two weeks. the complete healing time is about three months.
Choosing The Cosmetic Surgeon For Your Liposuction
the undesired fat to be liposuctioned is like clay to a sculpture. the cosmetic surgeon must use his hands to feel the liposuction device to sculpt the body area into the desired contour. the more experience one has, the better they become at it. one cannot be a great painter and a great sculptor. to become a master in the art form, one must dedicate oneself to that form. when it comes to cosmetic surgery, seek out the surgeon who has dedicated their abilities to become a master in the surgery that you wish to have done. in the case of liposuction, not all artists are sculptors.

Fixing Unwanted Results
to achieve a smooth contour, specially designed instruments and low power suction machines must be utilized for corrective sculpturing. depending on type and extent of correction needed, fixing the defects may require a combination of these techniques in a series of correction procedures to achieve the final results. most unwanted liposuction results can be corrected with the advanced cosmetic surgery methods available today. in most cases the correction can be carried out in one session under local anesthesia. lipo-correction methods include:
Liposculpture
Liposhifting & Fat Repositioning
Fat Grafting, Fat Injections, Fat Transfer
Micro-liposuction
Ultrasonic Therapy
Mesotherapy (chemical Lipolysis)

Mesotherapy - The Latest Breakthrough In Cellulite Reduction
by dr. nathan newman. summer time is here and those lumps and bumps of cellulite that have been hidden away all winter now get to be exposed. what is this stuff?? cellulite is a cosmetic defect that causes a great deal of distress for millions of women.
What Causes Cellulite?
although no one knows exactly why or how cellulite is formed, many factors contribute to its development and appearance. cellulite mostly affects women. the body areas that are mainly predisposed to having this defect are the buttocks and thighs. hormonal factors seem to play a major role in their development. women who have a genetic predisposition start to develop cellulite around puberty along with the hormonal changes, however cellulite may not become apparent until later in life. other factors include weight changes, trauma to the area, decreased skin elasticity due to age and sun damage, poor blood circulation of micro-vessels, and lymphatic congestion. with time, collagen bands attach to the underside of the skin and pull down on the skin causing dimpling and the fat in between these collagen bands tend to bulge and become “herniated” lumps giving the cottage cheese cellulite skin defect that is aesthetically undesirable.
Who Suffers From Cellulite?
cellulite affects the majority of women over the age of 20. contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not a disease of excess weight; even slender women suffer from it.
What Is Mesotherapy?
mesotherapy is the latest non-surgical breakthrough in cellulite reduction. like so many other popular nearly-instant beauty transformations such as botoxò, collagenò, and restylaneò, available to us today, mesotherapy too is a needle-based treatment, during which a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant extracts and fda-approved medications are injected into the mesoderm or middle layers of the skin, to melt away the bulging fat cells. the “liquefied” fat is then burned as energy or excreted from the body. although mesotherapy is a relatively new concept in the u.s., it was developed in europe over 50 years ago and has since been modified, refined and improved over the years with scientific advancements to allow for a safe and proven method of cellulite reduction.
The Uses & Benefits Of Mesotherapy
mesotherapy is used for cellulite reduction, spot reduction of fat deposits in specific areas, like “love-handles”, “double-chins” and other areas where fat pockets are found. mesotherapy treatments improve circulation, strengthen connective tissues and dissolve excess fat thus reducing the appearance of cellulite. also, it is administered directly to the desired area, thus limiting side effects, reducing the possibility of drug interactions, and allowing for a substantial reduction in the amount of medicine utilized for each procedure.
The Treatment Course
the average treatment course is between 10-15 visits over a three-month period. the procedure generally takes 30 to 60 minutes and requires no preparation or recovery time. furthermore, no heavy bandages or girdles are used. mesothrapy treatments are individualized to optimize the benefits for the patient. the majority of patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. for those with lower pain thresholds, a numbing cream or painkillers maybe indicated. side effects are generally limited to bruising and slight swelling of treated areas. immediately following a treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed. skin redness and swelling gradually fade over a period of hours. the bruises usually fade within one to two weeks.
How Long Do The Benefits Last?
the treated areas will remain free of unwanted fat, as long as a stable weight is maintained. treatments for cellulite will require maintenance on a yearly basis.
Conclusion
mesotherapy is a great non-surgical method to fight the appearance of cellulite and the resistant small fat pockets that we just can’t get to go away with diet and exercise.

Breast Enlargement, Or Augmentation Mammoplasty, Enhances The Body Contour Of A Woman Who Is Unhappy With Her Breast Size.
it may also be used to correct volume loss after pregnancy, or to help balance breast size asymmetries, as well as a reconstructive technique following other breast surgery. an implant (prosthesis) may be placed through an incision, under the breast tissue or under the muscle or through an incision in the bellybutton region. the incision can be made under the breast, around the nipple, in the armpit, or in the bellybutton.
There Are Two Main Types Of Breast Implants To Choose From.
one is the saline implant which is composed of an outer silicone shell that the surgeon fills with saline (salt water) at the time of the surgery. the second type of implant is the more popular silicone or gel implant that are pre-filled silicone gel implants that feel and look more natural in most patients.
The Placement Technique (under The Fascia, Or Muscle Or Over The Muscle)
the size of the implants are determined at the time of consultation to coincide with your desired look and in proportion to your build and body type.
Boost Your Bust With Tuba
The Ultra-modern Scarless Breast Augmentation Technique
by: dr. nathan newman. with the summer approaching, women start to think of how they will look in their bathing suits and our more revealing summer cloths. if you are not satisfied with the size, symmetry, or shape of your breasts, a breast augmentation procedure can enhance your appearance, confidence and your self-esteem, which allows you to live a fuller life. breast augmentation techniques have improved greatly over the years. today, with the ultra-modern tuba (transumbilical breast augmentation) technique, cosmetic surgeons are able to enhance the breast without visible scars on the breasts or in the armpits. the surgery is usually performed in an outpatient basis, whereby you will return home the same day. general anesthesia is most commonly used, although local anesthesia may also be an option. the surgery usually is completed in one to two hours. in addition tuba has a shorter recovery time and is associated with fewer complications.
What Is The Tuba Technique?
through a small incision in the umbilicus (navel or belly button) a specially designed blunt instrument is passed under the skin towards the breasts. disposabletissue expanders are used beneath the pectoralis muscle on the chest to develop the desired look of the augmented breast. once the breast area is prepared for the actual implant, the tissue expander is removed and an empty breast implant is placed in the breast and filled with sterile saline water to the desired volume. all of this can be achieved without visible scars on the breasts.
Placement Of The Breast Implant
the pectoralis muscle, the muscle on the chest under the breast tissue, is used to give breasts a more natural look and feel. advantages of having an implant placed under instead of over the muscle include: breast tissue feels more natural, the implant covered by the muscle is almost undetectable to touch, the shape of the breast has a more natural contour, less risk of capsule formation, no sagging of the breasts caused from the weight of implants, and less interference with mammograms. because of these benefits, cosmetic surgeons try to place the breast implants under the muscle whenever possible.
Risks Of Breast Augmentation
the tuba technique may have less risk associated with it than with the older techniques used for breast augmentation.
Bleeding
Infection
Asymmetry
Capsule Formation
Deflation
Advantage Of Tuba
No Visible Scar On Breasts
Decreased Risk For Infection
Decreased Risk For Bleeding
Decreased Risk For Capsule Formation And Contraction
Less Interference With Mammograms Post Surgically
Ability To Breast Feed Is Conserved
Nipple Sensation Is Conserved
Less Pain
Less Down Time
Recovery Time
Each Patient Will Tolerate Pain Post-operatively In A Different Way, And We Consider This.
appropriate pain medications are prescribed for the post-operative patients, and these help minimize discomfort. your breasts may remain swollen and sensitive to physical contact for as long as a month. you may also experience a feeling of tightness or pressure in the breast area as your skin adjusts to your new breast size. you may also have difficulty raising your arms above your head until the swelling subsides. a support bra or a sports bra should be worn during the recovery period. you many be able to return to work as soon as two days after surgery, although you should avoid any strenuous activities for at least a couple of weeks. regular aerobic and more vigorous activities are not allowed during the first 2 to 4 weeks in order to decrease the risks of bleeding, swelling, or bruising and to allow the implant to settle in the appropriate desired position.
The Use Of Sterile Saline Water Implants With The Tuba Technique To Augment The Breasts
the added benefit of allowing the cosmetic surgeon to adjust the volume of the implant during the procedure to achieve the optimum level of augmentation and the desired look. in addition, if a deflation or a leak occurs in the implant after the surgery, there is no risk to the patient, as the body absorbs the water without harm and the implant can easily be removed and replaced using the same incision site, in the belly button, as was used during the initial tuba procedure.
Breast Augmentation Is Done To Increase The Size And Improve The Proportion Of A Woman's Breasts.
a woman must be at least 18 years old for breast augmentation. if you are interested in breast augmentation, make sure you understand the risks and benefits associated with the procedure. only with a consultation and a physical examination by an experienced cosmetic surgeon can you and the surgeon decide what is the best approach for you to achieve your desired goals. although the ultra-modern tuba technique may benefit many, not all patients are appropriate candidates for this procedure and may benefit more from a more traditional approach to achieve their desired new look.
Scar Free Breast Reduction
Traditionally Breast Reduction Is Associated With A Complicated, Lengthy, Risky Surgery Involving Large Cuts And Scars On The Breasts That May Not Heal As Desired.
an alternative approach to reducing the size of the breasts and lifting the breast without the risks and scars of contemporary surgical methods is to remove the excess fatty tissues from the breasts via advanced liposuction techniques. those patients who qualify for the scar free breast reduction procedure to reduce the excessive breast size and to alleviate the suffering caused from the weight of these large breasts, report great satisfaction with the results of this treatment.
Each Person’s Breast Shape And Build Is Unique And Needs To Be Examined On An Individual Basis To Discuss
determine which surgical technique is most appropriate to achieve your desired surgical results. during the consultation with dr. nathan newman, the degree of ptosis (sagging) of your breasts will be determined to assess which type of breast reduction surgery will be most appropriate.
Reduce Your Breast Size With The Scarless Liposculpturing Technique
by: nathan newman, md. women with undesirably large natural breasts often complain of back pain, shoulder soreness and an inability to fit into clothing. traditional breast reduction surgery in women involved large scars and a relatively risky and complicated surgery with a long healing period. advanced liposculpting techniques has made possible a “scar-free” breast reduction method that is safe and effective in reducing breast size and weight with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Benefits Of Lipo Breast Reduction
the “scar free” liposuction breast reduction uses liposculpturing techniques and the tumescent local anesthesia method to safely and efficiently remove the excess fat from the breasts without unsightly scars. the “scar free” lipo breast reduction avoids the long scars that are made on the breast, in a traditional breast reduction, that may thicken, discolor, keloid or thin, stretch and widen. the scarless lipo breast reduction can reduce breast size by a third to a half in half the time of the traditional surgery without changing the natural shape and appearance of the breast. breast reduction by liposuction will produce a smaller version of the breasts that existed before liposuction. the “scar free” liposculpture technique also can have a moderate breast lift effect by causing the skin to contract, thereby lifting the breast and the nipple. the recovery from the scarless lipo breast reduction is quick and much easier than traditional breast reduction surgery. the amount of reduction in breast size and weight that is achieved by “scar free” liposculpting technique, typically eliminates most of the related health consequences of large breasts, including shoulder and back pain, difficulty exercising, skin rashes or infections, and inability to find properly fitting clothing or bras. smaller breasts that fit your frame can improve self confidence and make it easier to be active and dress to your desire.
Who Is A Good Candidate?
a good candidate must have realistic expectations and a good understanding of the procedure and its alternatives. best results from the “scar free” lipo breast reduction is seen in patients with breasts that contain more fat than glandular tissues. after menopause, the breast has an increased ratio of fatty to glandular tissues. the proportion of fat in the breast can be determined by a mammogram.
Mammograms
mammograms are recommended before the procedure to evaluate the fat ratio in the breast and to screen for growths. a mammogram is recommended 6 months after “scar free” lipo breast reduction procedure to establish a new base-line mammogram for future reference and comparison.
Summary
if you have large fatty breasts and wish to reduce your breast size with minimal risk, without unsightly scars, with little discomfort, with minimal recovery time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional breast reduction then the “scar free” liposculpturing breast reduction procedure may be right for you.
Gynecomastia
gynecomastia is the growth of abnormally large breasts in men and adolescent boys. this problem results in self-consciousness and can cause emotional and social distress. the causes of gynecomastia may be genetic, hormonal, or social-environmental. enlarged breasts in men can result from hypertrophy of breast glandular tissue, fatty adipose tissue (lipomastia) and is usually a combination of both. evaluation of the cause for the breast enlargement is essential to evaluate endocrine hormonal balance. in patients who are surgical candidates, liposuction, liposculpture and surgical breast reduction can be carried out under local or general anesthesia to reduce the breast size.
Male Breast Reduction
the starts technique - freedom from gynecomastia - by: dr. nathan newman.
What Is Gynecomastia?
gynecomastia, the term used for enlarged male breasts is a medical term that comes from the greek words for "women-like breasts." though this condition is rarely talked about, it's actually quite common, affecting an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. it may affect only one breast or both. usually there is no known cause nor any associated medical condition found in patients with gynecomastia, but the incidence increases with certain drugs, such as digitalis, anabolic steroids, tagamet, and spironolactone, and with the use of marijuana or alcohol, and with obesity. medical causes of gynecomastia have been associated with liver or endocrine disease. it is important to check for these medical conditions in people who have gynecomastia. in addition to medical problems, gynecomastia can cause terrible embarrassment, social inhibition and self-consciousness for boys and men who suffer from it. many will try to hide it with baggy shirts, avoiding bare chested activities, and withdrawing from public exposure. for men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction surgery can significantly help their appearance and self-image.the procedure removes fat and glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better-contoured more masculine-looking chest. due to improved techniques and more patient awareness, the number of men undergoing breast reductions has doubled over the past decade.
The Best Candidates For Gynecomastia Correction
surgery to correct gynecomastia can be performed on healthy, emotionally stable men of any age. the best candidates for surgery have firm, elastic skin that will reshape to the body's new contours. this is not the way to lose weight. individuals who drink alcoholic beverages in excess or smoke marijuana are usually not considered good candidates for surgery. these drugs,along with anabolic steroids, may cause gynecomastia. stopping these drugs is a prerequisite for surgery.
How Is Male Breast Reduction Performed?
Older Technique
older techniques for correcting gynecomastia were based on scalpel surgery. an incision would be made around the areola, and the fat removed directly through the incision.this results in reduction of the fat, and in improved shape, but left a scar around the areola.
Modern Technique
modern technological developments such as the soft tissue advanced rotary sculpture systen (stars) technique, the latest innovation in liposuction technology, has allowed vast advancements in gynecomastia correction surgery.
Post-op Considerations For The Scalpel Technique
post-op considerations for the scalpel technique include:
Some Postoperative Bruising, Swelling, And Burning Sensation.
Numbness Or Lack Of Sensation Could Last Up To A Year.
Infrequent Complications May Include Infection, Skin Damage, Fluid Accumulation, Bleeding, Scarring Or Pigment Changes.
Patient May Need To Wear An Elastic Pressure Garment For 3 To 6 Weeks.
Must Avoid Exposing Scarred Area To The Sun For At Least 6 Months.
The Stars Technique
First The Breast Area Is Prepared For Liposuction By The Tumescent Technique, By Which Large Volumes Of Diluted Anesthetic Is Injected Into The Fat Layer Of The Desired Surgical Area.
with the use of the tumescent technique, the complications and risks associated with general anesthesia may be avoided. next, liposuction using the stars technique is used to remove the excess fat from the breasts to give a smooth sculpted result.
The Stars Technique In Conjunction With The Tumescent Technique Minimizes The Risk Of Gynecomastia Correction Surgery
and has many advantages over the older scalpel method.
Benefits Of Stars Technique
one very important additional benefit of the stars technique is that only very small incisions are needed. these incisions are not only extremely small, but can be located away from the areola, so that are not noticeable.

Hand Rejuvenation
hands are one of the areas that receives the most sun exposure, and because of this it is one of the first places to start showing visible signs of aging. natural aging, and exposure to sunlight, causes this appearance. the more common visible signs of aging include darkened spots. a loss of fatty tissue also occurs, making our hands look bony. hand rejuvenation treatment can help restore the hands to a more youthful appearance. the most common reason for hand rejuvenation are:
Enhancing Appearance And Boosting Self-confidence
Regaining A More Youthful Look
Achieving Smoother Looking Skin
Reversing Signs Of Aging
by: dr. nathan newman. we are all familiar with the old saying: “you can tell a woman’s age by looking at her hands”. the nature of old sayings, like this and many others, is that they have been proven to be true and tried over time from the experience and wisdom which created them. this saying held true in the past as cosmetic surgery was focused on making the face look younger, leaving the hands much more aged than the face. advances in technology and modern techniques have made it possible for a more comprehensive rejuvenation approach which reverses signs of aging on the face and hands.
Hand Rejuvenation Procedures
all of the procedures which restore a more youthful appearance to the hands can be done without general anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
Fat Repositioning, Structural Fat Grafting, Lipostructure
fat is taken from one part of the body and injected into the back of the hands under local anesthesia to restore the soft tissue that is lost with age and to fill out the grooves between the bones. fat repositioning or lipostructure yields the most natural and long lasting result of any filler.
Other Fillers
juvederm &sculptra may be used to plump the skin if fat is not an appropriate option.
Newman Peel
a specially formulated chemical peel to treat age spots, pre-cancerous growths and improve skin tone, the newman peel removes damaged skin cells, leaving the skin with a refreshed and vibrant appearance.
Laser Skin Treatments
different lasers are utilized in a series of treatment sessions to improve skin texture, color and tone.
Sclerotherapy
a solution is injected directly into a problem vein, irritating its interior, and causing it to close off. the blood flow diverts to other, less visible veins, giving the hands a smoother appearance.
Microdermabrasion
these modalities may also be utilized in conjunction with the other rejuvenating procedures listed above as deemed appropriate.
Summary
the hands are an expressive part of our bodies that are on display all the time. today’s cosmetic procedures of the face should also include rejuvenation of the hands to ensure a more complete, natural and youthful result.
Brazilian Butt Lift
no more flat or sagging buttocks!!! with the brazilian butt lift, you can have a natural looking and feeling buttocks without anyone knowing you had anything done. this non-surgical treatment is done by taking fat from other parts of your body and injecting it in to your buttocks. dr. nathan newman will sculpt your buttocks, making them look more round and firm. there is minimal downtime with this procedure and you can resume your daily activities by the next day.
Buttock Enhancement As Part Of Lipo Body Sculpting
your ambition to having the perfect body would be incomplete without a nice derriere. your looks depend on the location of the fat and its proportional distribution in the body. excess fat can be removed from areas of the body by liposcuplturing and this fat can be injected to other areas such as the face, hands, and buttocks to naturally enhance the shape of the area. with the brazilian butt lift procedure you get rid of the unwanted fat through liposcuplturing and then recycle this fat to shape your buttocks.
Liposculpture
fat distribution on the lower back, hips, outer thighs, the flanks (love handles), and the fold immediately below the buttocks (banana folds) all contribute to the buttocks looking undesirably wide and long. by removing the excess fat from these areas, the buttocks will appear shapelier and rounder. the fat that is removed for the repositioning injections must be “harvested” in a special manner to keep the fat alive and intact. after enough fat is harvested, then liposculpturing can be completed with advanced liposuction techniques.
Fat Repositioning
the excess fat that is harvested from the other parts of the body can be used to shape and augment any part of the body including the buttocks. the fat is injected in a precise and systematic fashion in to the buttocks to increase their volume and enhance their appearance. the repositioning of the fat into the buttocks is scar free and with minimal pain or recovery time. the degree of change from the fat injections into the buttocks is dependant on the volume of fat being injected, relative to the area. the buttocks' relatively large area require that a sizeable amount of fat be harvested and transferred for optimal results. the volume of fat removed from the stored areas will contour and sculpt these areas, while the fat transferred to the buttocks will fill, lift and accentuate the buttocks. even dimples and cellulite on the buttocks will be dramatically improved with this procedure, as the skin and tissues will become tighter and smoother.
The Fat Repositioning Butt Lift Procedure & Recovery
the procedure can be done under local anesthesia or if you choose under general anesthesia. you will have some soreness and swelling in the area for a few days which usually does not require pain medication. there is not much down time with the procedure, and most patients are able to return to work in two to four days, and resume their regular exercise routine in about two weeks.
Fat Repositioning Vs. Butt Implants
the brazilian fat repositioning butt lift is a more comprehensive, safe and natural way to augment the buttocks. the fat has many advantages in that it is natural and undetectable, it is scarless, it does not move from the area that it has been injected into, and it feels firm but not hard. the implants used in the buttocks, however, require cutting the skin which leaves a scar. the buttock implants have many disadvantages including the potential for dislodging from their position, the need to be removed in case of infection, and an uncomfortably hard feel.
Summary
liposculpture and fat repositioning are utilized in a synergistic manner to enhance your figure and shape your body to a cosmetically desirable, fit and proportioned contour.
Non-surgical Treatments
Sclerotherapy
injecting the unwanted veins with a sclerosing solution causes the target vein to shrink, and then dissolve over a period of weeks, as the body naturally absorbs the treated vein.
Lasers
lasers are effective in treating smaller more layered or toughted spider veins. laser light energy is delivered into the veins causing heat destruction of the vein.
Surgical Treatments
Tipps
the trans-illuminated power phlebectomy system (tipps) is a minimally invasive, varicose vein removal (ambulatory phlebectomy) technique that allows for the surgeon to visualize the blood vessels under the skin and target them for removal.
A Revolutionary Treatment Advanced For Varicose Veins
by: dr. nathan newman. spider veins, referred to medically as telangiesctasias, are small, dilated, and visible blood vessels on the skin that appear red or blue. they get their name from the fact that they usually appear in a spider web like or branched pattern. they occur on the legs, the face and on other areas of the body. spider veins may cover large areas of skin and can be quite unattractive.
What Causes Spider Veins To Become Visible?
the appearance of spider veins has been associated with puberty, birth control pills, pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy, and wearing tight girdles or hosiery held up with tight rubber bands. spider veins on the nose or the cheeks of fair skinned persons may be related to sun exposure.
How Are Spider Veins Treated?
What Are Varicose Veins?
varicose veins are larger dilated blood vessels that appear blue and bulging under the skin. these veins occur from the backward flow of blood in the legs caused by damaged or diseased valves in the veins. varicose veins are typically larger and cause more discomfort than spider veins and they may occur along with spider veins.
Who Is Affected By Varicose Veins?
varicose veins do not occur suddenly. it usually takes years for symptoms to develop. varicose veins are commonly inherited, although it is important to note that anyone can get them. often times varicose veins are common in people that have had certain types of leg injuries or deep vein blood clots. varicose veins also become more frequent as people work standing still or sitting down, exercise less, wear restrictive clothing and gain weight.
Symptoms
symptoms & problems associated with varicose veins may include:
Dull, Generalized Aching (especially After Standing For Long Periods)
Throbbing Pain
Cramping, Especially At Nights
Tiredness, Heaviness Or Fatigue Of The Legs & Feet
Burning Or Tingling
Ankle Swelling
Swelling Of The Ankle And Lower Leg.
Discolored, Brownish Skin Near The Ankle.
A Rash Or Skin Ulceration On The Ankle Or Lower Leg
Blood Clots Forming Within Veins (thrombophlebitis).
Other Contributing Risk Factors
other contributing risk factors associated with varicose veins:
Obesity
Hormonal Influences, Especially During Pregnancy
Use Of Oral Contraceptives
Post Menopausal Hormone Replacement
Medical Conditions That May Increase Intra-abdominal Pressure Such As Tumors
constipation, and externally worn garments such as girdles.
Varicose Vein Treatment
While Patients Often Try To Ignore Varicose Veins, Treatment Is Important To Prevent Dilated
twisted veins, episodes of aching pain, and leg ulcers on the surface of the skin. if left untreated, varicose veins can lead to more serious complications. early treatment is highly recommended to help prevent the varicose veins from becoming very advanced.
Traditional Varicose Vein Surgeries Such As Stab Avulsion Phlebectomy Or The Hook Method Are "blind Procedures" Requiring Long Operative Times And Multiple Incisions.
these older varicose vein procedures required numerous incisions to be made with a scalpel and a hook probe to separate the vein from the tissue surrounding it. the vein was then grasped by a clamp and pulled out. this method was inefficient, less effective and a more painful procedure that required a long recovery period of up to 8 weeks. the many incisions on the skin increased the risk for complications such as infection and left many unsightly permanent scars on the legs. patient would often have to undergo repeat surgeries in order to achieve acceptable results.
Today, With The Advent Of The New Advanced Technique Called The Trans-illuminated Power Phlebectomy System (tipps) Varicose Vein Surgery Has Been Revolutionized.
the tipps technique has been found to be far superior to previous techniques.
While Traditional Varicose Vein Surgeries Is A “blind Procedure,” Meaning That Surgeons Cannot Always See The Vein Or Confirm Removal
the tipps unique illumination feature allows the surgeon to quickly and accurately target and remove the vein with a small powered surgical device and then visually confirm its complete extraction virtually eliminating the need for repeat surgeries.
This New Process Makes Varicose Vein Removal More Effective And More Complete.
the tipps technique is a minimally invasive procedure that is done in an outpatient surgery center. the procedure usually takes less than an hour and requires minimal incisions, allowing patients to be virtually pain free within a couple of weeks.
Advantages Of The Tipps Technique
Allows Direct Visualization Of The Veins
Involves Less Operative Time
Removes All Sizes And Shapes Of Varicose Veins
Can Remove Previously Scarred Or Injected Veins
Much Less Pain And Discomfort
Fast And Easy Recovery
Minimal Scarring
Minimal Complications
Can Be Used To Treat Areas Of Venus Ulceration
Other Info
Can Spider Veins And Varicose Veins Be Prevented?
spider and varicose veins cannot always be prevented. wearing support hose may minimize unwanted blood vessels from developing and is often the first approach to try before moving on to other treatments. weight management and exercising regularly may also be helpful. eating a high-fiber diet and wearing low-heeled shoes may also help. sun protection is important to limit the number of unwanted vessels on the face.
Will Insurance Cover The Treatment Of Varicose Veins?
varicose veins may be covered by insurance. sometimes laboratory studies or photographs are required by insurance companies before treatment can be started. if the treatment is solely for cosmetic reasons, it may not be covered.
Weight Loss & Obesity
weight problems are associated with many factors which should be tested and addressed collectively in order to be able to lose the weight and keep it off. some of the most common factors which may be part of your weight problem are listed below:
Social & Environmental Life Style
Type Of Dietary Habits
Level And Type Of Exercise
Smoking
Alcohol
Medications
Stress Level
Hormonal Imbalance
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (pcos)
Insulin Resistance Syndrome (irs)
Decreased Metabolism
Hypothyroidism
Adrenal Function (cortisol Levels)
Genetic Predisposition
Diabetes
High Cholesterol
Slow Metabolism
Body Structure
Hormonal Balance
Pregnancy
Diet Resistant Pockets Of Fat (love Handles, Saddle Bags, Belly Pouch)
Irs & Obesity
overweight? find out if insulin resistance syndrome (irs) is the cause, and how to treat it. researchers at the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) estimate that as many as one in three americans may suffer from insulin resistance syndrome. this syndrome also known as metabolic syndrome or syndrome x, is a newly identified cluster of diseases that is associated with obesity.
What Is Insulin Resistance Syndrome (irs)?
the ability of the hormone insulin to cause the glucose in the blood stream to be taken up by body tissues varies greatly from person to person. in insulin resistance, tissue receptors respond poorly to stimuli of the insulin hormone. in response, the pancreas secretes more insulin, to make-up for this resistance. therefore, individuals with insulin resistance have high plasma insulin levels. the syndrome is made up of a group of medical conditions that may include obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and hyperinsulinemia. although the disease process can remain effectively hidden for years, some clues of this syndrome may be seen as abdominal obesity, fatigue, poor mental concentration, fluid retention, nerve damage and an intense craving for sweets.
What Does It Mean To Have Insulin Resistance Syndrome?
insulin resistance syndrome can be thought of as a group of silent vascular diseases. insulin resistance puts individuals at significant increased risk for heart attack or stroke. although overt type 2 diabetes may develop in some patients with the insulin resistance syndrome, the majority however, will not develop diabetes but will still develop heart disease. many individuals may also have high cholesterol, high triglycerides and high blood pressure. women with polycystic ovary syndrome, are at higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. individuals who are overweight are especially at risk of developing insulin resistance and its associated medical conditions. most of the associated medical conditions with insulin resistance syndrome are silent until they have caused significant damage to the body, at which time they may manifest as a heart attack or a stroke.
How Can I Know If I Have Insulin Resistance Syndrome?
a comprehensive history and physical examination by a qualified physician, as well as a proper laboratory evaluation will help diagnose the silent conditions associated with the insulin resistance syndrome. since such conditions as high blood pressure or high cholesterol are easily detectable, treatable, and if diagnosed early, their long-term sequela preventable, it is advised that everyone be checked regularly.
Insulin Resistance Syndrome And Central Obesity
central adiposity, also referred to as the apple shaped body or beer belly, is due to intra-abdominal fat deposition, which is closely associated with heart disease, diabetes and other medical conditions related to the insulin resistance syndrome. there is a strong correlation between abdominal fat deposition and the degree of insulin resistance, independent of total body weight. a waist-hip ratio of greater than 1.0 in men or 0.8 in women corresponds to being at high risk for insulin resistance syndrome and for heart disease.
How Can I Treat Insulin Resistance Syndrome?
weight loss is essential to reversing insulin resistance and its associated conditions. an individualized lifestyle modification is required for all patients with the insulin resistance syndrome. lifestyle factors that need to be evaluated and addressed include alcohol, smoking, stress, lack of exercise, and excess fat or simple sugars in the diet. medications that help reduce insulin resistance and help decrease excess weight may be indicated. liposuction may also be beneficial in reducing insulin resistance.
Insulin Resistance Syndrome
insulin resistance syndrome may present with some of the following conditions:
Hyperinsulinemia
Glucose Intolerance
Overweight
Hypertension
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Gestational Diabetes
Elevated Triglycerides
Low Hdl
Elevated Cholesterol
Heart Disease
Acanthosis Nigricans
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (pcos)
Ginzapin For Weight Loss
New Class Of Weight Loss Medications
with american obesity on the rise, there is an ever growing list of products to help lose weight. most over-the-counter weight loss products can have serious health risks while they are not very effective in helping you lose weight. until now, prescription products for weight loss fell into three categories: noradrenergenic agents (phentermine), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (sibutramine) and lipase inhibitor (xenical). today, we are adding another category - an h3 receptor antagonist (ginzapine) to help fight obesity.
Ginzapine
ginzapine works on the histamine receptors in the brain. ginzapine’s action on these receptors sends signals to the stomach, telling it to take in less food. in addition it also seems to create a dislike of fatty foods. it is a medication that has a high safety profile and few side effects. most common side-effects include, upset stomach and nausea. ginzapoine is only available through compounding prescription in the u.s.
Check For Medical Conditions
you diet and exercise but cannot seem to shed the weight! before you start taking diet medications you must have a physician examine you and have some blood tests to see if there is an underlying cause for or associated medical conditions with your weight problem. these include metabolic conditions associated with abnormal hormonal balance such as thyroid or insulin, or as part of polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). if these conditions exist you may need medications that will address and correct the hormonal problem and thereby help reduce your weight.
Diet & Exercise
once you have decided to shed the excess weight and you have seen your doctor to rule-out medical causes that might be associated with your weight problem, you have to become actively involved in the process. no pill by itself will make you lose weight in the long term. it has been shown that yo-yo dieting is bad for your health. in order to lose the unwanted weight and successfully keep it off, you must change habits. eating properly and being physically active is essential for your health and your ability to lose and keep off the excess weight.
Sculpting Your Body
you will notice that even after all that you have achieved there may be pockets of fat that you wish you could get rid of. liposuction and now other techniques like liposculpture, mesotherapy and in the future ultrasonic fat reduction can be utilized to shape your figure and have you ready to wear your favorite bikini this summer.
Liposuction Essentials: Overview
creating healthy bodies from the inside out: an integrative approach to optimize the results of your cosmetic surgery. first of a 4 part series of articles that will discuss the benefits of the integrative approach to liposuction surgery. by: nathan newman, md. liposuction has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures worldwide. liposuction is used to reduce bulk in patients with a lot of fat or to sculpt the body by removing the stubborn fat pockets, which because of genetics and hormones, do not seem to melt away despite proper eating habits and routine exercise. due to the advanced techniques used today, liposuction has become one of the safest cosmetic surgeries with almost no down time and with little recovery time. however, most doctors and patients do not treat the underlying problems that have caused the excess weight. my approach differs in that i look at the total person from the inside out. i want my patients both to look their best as well as feel their best. this integrative approach to complete patient care before, during and after the surgery ensures your well-being and optimizes your surgical results.
The Effects Of Toxins
just like everything of value you invest in and try to maintain in its best condition, so too must you take care of your health and body. in order to maintain your wellness, the body must be kept internally clean and healthy. over time, the body becomes polluted from the accumulation of impurities from our food, water and air. these impurities silently damage the body at the cellular level and if not stopped will cause harm that will eventually manifest physically. examples of this include weight gain, food allergies, chronic fatigue, sluggish bowels, and poor digestion. these toxins make it very difficult for your body to function optimally and can even interfere with your healing and recovery from surgical procedures.
Integrative Medicine For Your Health
as part of the integrative approach to medicine, i utilize natural products (naturalceuticals) with enough concentration and effectiveness (pharmaceutical grade) in order to remove these toxins and achieve and maintain a clean and healthy body. my experienced and knowledgeable nutritionist will consult and educate you and will design an individualized plan that will promote internal health. ideally, i like to prepare the body before surgery, optimize it during surgery, and support its healing after surgery in order to minimize the risk for complications, to shorten recovery time, to maximize results and to maintain the benefits for the long term.

liposuction is a surgery and the healthier the body, the better the recovery. to maintain the results after the surgery, you must modify your nutritional lifestyle. otherwise, as you gain weight the fat will start to accumulate in your body. the fat cells will expand like balloons and the areas that have not had surgery are going to accumulate more fat.

by combining advanced surgical techniques with integrative modalities, my team at orchid surgery center and i will design a tailored program to optimize and maintain your health and wellness through disease prevention, age-intervention, nutrition, and individualized weight management.
Liposuction Essentials: Maintaining Your Results After The Healing Phase
Liposuction Essentials Overview
this article will complete our four parts to liposuction essentials. within this article we will explore options and inform you on how to apply them to your daily lifestyle to enhance your appearance and help maintain your surgical results.
Creating A New Lifestyle
healthy nutrition is not about eliminating or adding any one product to your diet. it is about discovering and maintaining balance with all food groups as you simultaneously balance your body, mind, and spirit. many aspects of our lifestyles, mostly what we eat, drink and expose ourselves to, can slow down or speed up the development of everything from wrinkles to cancer and heart disease. however, making one or more key changes can help you age more healthfully and gracefully. the most powerful thing in our lives that affects our quality of life and how rapidly we age is stress, the quantity of stress and how we deal with our stress. our bodies go through what is known as the “flight or fight” response which increases the production of the stress hormone cortisol. not only does this hormone have a major impact on hormones and skin aging, but it will also cause weight gain and cause your body to loose muscle mass and memory which help to burn calories. when pressed for time or when we feel overwhelmed we often turn to sugary and fried foods, caffeine, drinking alcohol and smoking. however when we use poor or nutrient deficient foods and substances to counteract our stress, we in-turn do just the opposite. putting more stress on the body in a different way, causing cortisol and insulin levels to rise. pouring toxins into our body we impair our body’s ability to detoxify external and internal toxins making it very difficult for the body to find its equilibrium, which is so important in maintaining good health. the toxic overload that we create in our bodies leads to fatigue, trouble with cognitive function and more severe conditions that can affect cardiovascular function. toxins can also affect the skin when foods such as sugars, trans fats and other chemicals are incorporated into the diet. they create significant changes to hormones. nutritional and cellular changes also occur which will manifest into early signs of aging that we associate with conditions like acne, wrinkles, dark circles, loose sagging skin and more.
Whole Nutrition
a diet based on whole foods refers to foods that are as close to their natural state as possible, without additives or processing. chemicals and preservatives that are commonly found throughout our diets contribute largely to inflammation in our bodies. inflammation can be your body’s worst enemy when you are trying to maintain your surgical results. when you eliminate foods that cause inflammation, especially high processed, starchy, sugary, and fried foods, and add anti inflammatory foods, this enables you to short circuit the process that’s responsible for everything from weight gain to cancer. you can fight inflammation by eating a phytonutrient and antioxidant rich diet, that’s high in plant based foods. stock up on fruits and vegetables of all kinds, whole grains, unsalted nuts and seeds, beans, brown rice, lean meats, poultry, little beef, white fish, and low fat or fat free organic dairy products. the combination of fresh unprocessed foods is effective because most of these foods have a low glycemic impact on the body, meaning they don’t cause the blood sugar to spike. when the blood sugar goes up quickly, insulin levels rise causing stress and inflammation in the body. having a plant based diet raises the blood sugar slowly allowing the body to process, absorb nutrients, and digest waste from foods more effectively. staying well hydrated is very important. ten eight ounce glasses of water per day and avoiding coffee (regular and decaf) will help the body stay hydrated and will fight inflammation in the body. green tea is also great for decreasing inflammation and providing the body with antioxidants.
Good Fats
foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids are also excellent in protecting the body during healing and maintenance for general health and anti-aging. omega 3 fatty acids help maintain a better ratio of muscle to fat. skin will look better and bones and joints will function better. eliminating saturated fats and all trans fats from your diet will undeniably help fight the signs of aging both internal and external. trans fats also aid in slowing down metabolism and fat burning making it very difficult to maintain your liposuction results. new food labels make it very easy to find out if the product has saturated fats or trans fat. if you are in doubt avoid any product with hydrogenated on the label.
Helpful Tips
It Is Important To Watch Your Caloric (calories) Intake If You Are Eating Whole Foods But Too Much Of A Good Thing Can Compromise Your Surgical Results And Your Body’s Ability To Maintain Them.
eating smaller portion meals throughout the day not only helps maintain a healthy weight, but also provides the body with more energy allowing the body to rest and recover.
Sugar May Taste Great But It Is Important To Know That Not Only Does It Add Empty Calories
make blood sugar levels go crazy but sugars coat the surface of proteins in the body, making them work less efficiently. visible effects of what sugar can do to the body come in the formation of premature wrinkles, puffy looking skin, and excess body fat near the waist line, just to mention a few. to reduce sugar intake pay close attention to food labels. sugar goes under many names including fructose, corn syrup, glucose, dextrose, maltose and sucrose, among others. do your best to limit your sugar intake to small amounts.
Supplements Are Something We All Need.
we are unable to get all the nutrients we need from our diets even if we eat well. supplements are the essentials to any maintenance program. getting the basics include antioxidants vitamins a, c, e, selenium as well as b vitamins and minerals which can be found in a good quality whole-food multivitamin. and of course essential fatty acids (e.f.a.) are a must for brain function and help in burning fat.
Exercise Is The Single Most Powerful Weapon In Fighting Anti-aging And Maintaining Your Surgical Results.
exercise not only helps maintain a healthy weight but is one of the most effective ways in regulating hormones. you can reduce cortisol and insulin levels and are able to control your body’s composition (ratio of muscle to fat). exercise also maintains muscle and bone mass and helps the body detoxify through perspiration. remember the skin is the largest detoxifying organ in the body. if you are good to your body your body will be good to you. doctor’s recommend 15 minutes or more of cardio exercise at least three to five days a week to start. this will safely raise and lower your heart rate while working at different intensities. don’t forget to stretch five to ten minutes before and after your workouts. you don’t have to over do it to maintain a healthy body but you have to do something.
Reconstructive Stem Cell Lift
Cancer Treatments Can Result In Deforming Defects On The Face And Body.
surgical and radiation damage to the tissues result in scarring and decrease blood flow to the skin making traditional reconstructive surgery risky and filled with complications. the stem cell lift™ technique offers a breakthrough method to harness the power of your own stem cells from your fat to reconstruct and repair the damaged tissues, unlike any other procedure available today.
The Stem Cell Enriched Fat Breaks-up The Scar Tissue, Introduces New Blood Supply To The Area
reconstructs the tissue naturally and safely without the need for general anesthesia and without a scalpel. there is no increased risk for cancer using your own stem cells.

Post Cancer Stem Cell Reconstruction
stem cell enhanced fat graft reconstruction on face and body reconstructing damaged tissues after surgical or radiation treatment for cancer. by nathan newman, md. perhaps the most difficult part of surviving cancer is living with the deformity that is caused by surgery and radiation to the face, body and skin. for many, this constant reminder is a major obstacle to returning to and being accepted by society. stem cell enhanced fat grafting injections bring a new hope for the dawn of the future of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
Cancer Surgery Defect Reconstruction Repair
surgical defects that leave large dents and obvious lop-sidedness on the face and body may be corrected using stem cell enhanced fat injections from your own body fat. the stem cells in your fat will help correct the defect by filling the area and softening the scar tissues. the stem cells help bring better blood supply to the area, help repair damaged tissue, remodel the scar tissue, and add volume to the indented area(s).
Radiation Skin Repair
in radiated skin, some of the skin damage may be corrected with fat enhanced stem cell injections to the area. the skin may improve with the stem cell treatment by its ability to improve blood flow to the skin and by producing cytokines, interleukins and other agents that help heal and repair tissues. luminescetm is the first skin care product that contains cytokines made from fat derived stem cell technology which may help improve the skin damage caused by radiation treatments.
The Stem Cell Enhanced Fat Reconstruction Procedure
fat is removed from any desired part on the body using specially designed instruments by a modified lipo-suction method. after the mini-lipo, stem cells found in the harvested fat are concentrated using a specially developed method. the stem cell enriched fat is then injected using specially designed instruments into the areas of damaged tissue. the stem cells are essential to keeping fat healthy and allowing it to regenerate and repair the tissues. the stem cells promote vascularization of the injected fat and bring needed nutrients via the blood to help the survival of the transplanted fat. in addition to helping the fat cells "take" in the injected area, the stem cells help to preserve tissue volume by forming new fat cells to replace the fat cells as they go through their life cycle. this process remodels the scarred collagen to become softer and more mobile.
Fat: The Best Reconstruction Filler
stem cells in the fat have the ability to become part of the tissue that they are found next to. the have the ability to become fat, muscle, bone, cartilage and more. therefore, the stem cell enhanced fat will feel, look, act and move as the tissues it is injected into, making it appear and feel natural to touch and visually undetectable.
