Botox for the unemployed

June 8th, 2009

I read a story in Huffington Post today that getting a botox treatment and removing wrinkles increases your chance of getting a job. Well, since I do the injections I must agree. However, just paralyzing your muscles and getting rid of wrinkles may not be the only reason for this great outcome. The real reason for getting this great job that you want is the fact that after your botox injection you think you look great and therefore you do and so you present a more confident attitude. You believe you are and therefore you are. That is an old saying that is very true. All cosmetic surgery does, is make you look better and, therefore, you feel you look better and therefore you do look better and therefore everyone thinks you look great. I love my job as I make everyone feel good. Now that they feel good things go their way and I feel that I did it. Because I feel I caused it therefore I believe I caused it and therefore everyone thinks I caused it. What a great world we live in.  Free Botox offered for unemployed jobless? try botox

Just gello

May 18th, 2009

The news is that perhaps soon a new silicone gel implant will be out there. It will have a form and shape all of its own. I am not sure if it is good or bad as I rather think that everyone already has a shape and form and the filler is what is missing. It also may be a bit harder than the implants which are already out there and may also have a rough exterior so it may not move as much.  I am not sure whether stationary breasts are so attractive but when it comes out you will be able to judge for yourself if indeed you are interested in implants. Anyway there will be lots of marketing and writing about it. Just wanted you to hear all about it first here.  There will be lots of discussion and everyone will have something to say about this new Gel. To me gello is gello. You must judge for yourself and be a very savvy and inte

Clown smile to happy smile

May 9th, 2009
upturned lip corners

upturned lip corners

As we age the corners of our mouth sometimes turn down. That gives us a very sad look, like a clown.  Sometimes the lipstick runs there as well. Through a very minor procedure under local we can turn the downturn smile into a sexy and happy smile. Sad lips can turn into kissable lips. Stop by to see how that is done and see if you are a candidate.  Of course many other things can be done to lips. They can be shortened, made plumpier, have a nice and visible border roll, a nice cupids bow can be created, and the columella philtrum can be made more prominent. Anything is possible. Just stop by and ask and maybe you are a candidate for those procedures. All those procedures are done under local anesthesia in the treatment room with very uneventful recovery. They are very effective and everyone loves the results.

Full lips

Full lips

We do not want to pollute the environment.  Everyday however, we do. I therefore feel strongly, that we should use whatever tissue we remove from our body as fillers, or contour substances.  For example-fat can be used to make nasolabial folds fuller, lips plump, buttock round and attractive, breasts larger and upper lip softer.  Pieces of any muscle removed can also be used as fillers in the glabella or nasolabial folds. So do not waste anything. Reuse and do not pollute. You will like using your own stuff rather than waste it and see it discarted in some dump. Come and visit us to ask what is possible.

Fat Recycling-do not waste a drop

perfect buttock

We all want to get rid of this unwated fat. However, think about taking the fat from unwanted places and putting it where you want it? Take it out from the waste and putting it in the butt to make it round and attractive or putting it in the breast to make a natural soft breast? This fat is free and is yours. You do not have to pay for implants. You can also put it in your face to get rid of wrinkles, or in your lip to make them larger. So next time you say get rid of my fat think again. Recycle, recycle, recycle.

Latino skin

April 29th, 2009

I always admired how great the latino skin is.  It ages well, and never shows these fine annoying wrinkles.  However, one can never rest on their laurels.  Sooo-all my latino ladies, even though you have the genetic leg up you still must maintain, maintain and maintain.   Anita, my nurse practicioner with the magic wand, who herself is partly latino can advise and guide you to make your skin forever young, and delicious and fresh looking.   So call our office and speak with Anita.  You can even speak with her in spanish.  Skin is the biggest organ you have and therefore must keep it great looking.  Your friends, you and your genes will love it.

Bottoms up

April 12th, 2009

We try to look young. We exercise, diet, eat healthy foods, color our hair if need to, buy makeup and all kinds of creams, buy skin care products, and if need to lift our breasts, faces, eyelids, foreheads, upper arms, thighs, abdomen, buttocks and mons pubis. However, we forget that our very bottoms, the place where our children come from, suffer the most changes of all. First of all being so dependent, gravity causes our muscular sling as well as our skin to sag in the perineal area more than anywhere else.  We constantly run around with filling our bladder and then emptying, so constantly undergoing weight bearing and then loss.  We empty our bowels hopefully daily again causing strain and pushing.  We carry full intestines for a while before emptying. Of course if we suffer from constipating or the opposite, an irritable bowel, imagine the number of times our musculature has to contract and relax.  The pushing and tenesmus alone cause great distention and dilitation.  Then try again thinking about delivery of babies. The head coming through the vaginal canal. The amount of stretch and distention that creates, never mind the weight that the bottom muscles have to carry during the pregnancy.  Then the muscles get cut more during the episiotomy and not always put together well.  I will stop here as my own bottom is beginning to ache.  So now, with all that going on -don’t you think some enhancement may be necessary?  How about the labia that get elongated, and the vagina that gets stretched and all the tags that are hanging around.  Thing about the varicosities created in your labia majora and do not forget your saggy mons pubis.

So if you want to look younger and feel better, you better look at your bottom and consider what rejuvenation that may need before you declare yourself done.

Facelifts for the jobless

April 9th, 2009

I just read an article in Reuters 4/8/09 that there is an increase in facelifts and other cosmetic procedures because of the economy. The article states that now that the economy is bad people are flocking to plastic surgeons to look better to get a better job. That is always the case not only in bad economy.  People like to be around young looking vigorous people and so if you want to get a great job, or stay in the job or get promoted, I hate to say it, but you have to maintain your look and stay uplifted. Economy has nothing to do with it. Matter of fact economy can be bad for your uplift as the surplus money is not there. So the only bad thing that happens in a bad economy is that you get all crazed as you do not know whether to keep the money as you do not know when you will get a job or to spend it to get the job. What a dilemma. Just remember people with dilemmas who verbalize them too much usually do not get the job as they get to be too annoying to listen to. So just do it -if you do not you will say I should have done it.

Hair extensions-pretty-but are they good for you

April 9th, 2009

The other day I was doing facial surgery on a young woman when I realized that her hair was very heavy,seemed knotted and not too hygienic looking. To me it looked like rats nest. After the surgery I asked her about her hair. She said that she felt that her hair was thin and so she had these extensions put on. With the amount of pull and weight I cannot imagine her hair not falling out and thinning out more. The extensions came up right to her scalp and seemed to be strangulating her hair. I cannot imagine combing through it. I told her that if she went swimming in the ocean she could catch her dinner in that hair. Well, her surgery came out great but I am not sure at what point she will loose her hair. I told her that she will still be beautiful even tho she may be bold.  She did not like that.  I wonder how many people have these extensions and what their experience has been.  I however, cannot imagine that these extensions are good for you. Some tell me that if they start away from the scalp then they are not so heavy and detrimental. I am still skeptical. In any case, hair is sexy, and lots of it is more sexy, but I wonder if you add more of it this way whether you are not in danger of loosing it all.

are bald women sexy?

On the other hand, some women who are bald are sexy too. So I wonder, extensions for hair may lead to this, however, if you are beautiful all is sexy. I welcome your comments.

Facial bony structures and Youth

April 4th, 2009

As we age not only does the skin becomes less elastic and thin, but our bony skeleton also becomes thinner and smaller. The fat “baby fat” disappears and it all results in hanging empty skin with less architectural aesthetics. The atrophy of the fat is addressed with fillers.  The skin thinness and lack of elasticity is addressed with various lifts whether face lift, abdominoplasty, breast lift or mons pubis lift.  Some require arm lifts, and thigh lifts as well.  In some areas the fat disappears more than others. For example how often we hear people say-”if I loose enough weight for my thighs to be thin my face becomes too gaunt”.. Therefore often we do liposuction on the thighs which stubbornly hold on to fat while our face looses it very quickly.  So now what about the shrinking skeleton. We all know that with age we get shorter. However, we also know that even tho we look better after a facelift the area around the mouth rarely improves. ASK DR. STEPHEN COLEN who is trained as a dentist as well as a plastic surgeon. He will be the firtst one to tell you that in order for the area around the mouth to improve very often one may need to do onlay grafts to fill out the bone area under the upper lip so that the lip will not hang like a curtain with pleats.  Only grafts could also be put under the base of the nasal vestibule so that the nose will not look too long and hooked as our face shrinks.  Often we hear people say -”she is so photogenic”. This is often said about models or actresses.  They usually have in common a squere and strong bone structure which we loose as we get older.  So there are many ways to look younger besides just lifts, skin fillers and botox.  ONLAY grafts can also be very necessary.
