Botox for the unemployed

Monday, 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

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.

Mother Daughter-How we change

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

The aging of our skin and facial structures is most noticed when one looks at a mother and her daughter. The fullness under the brows which represents youth is gone. The fat in that area becomes atrophic. The area of the upper lip becomes thinner and the upper lip looks like a hanging washed out curtain. The fullness of the lips changes, as the lips become thinner and loose that wonderful roll at the border with the skin. The cheeks become more drawn and the skin of the neck becomes wrinkled in need of ironing. Our complexion becomes muddier and our nose becomes pointier and longer looking. The eyelids get folds which cover our eyelasher and the lower eyelids make us look like we never sleep. To regain some of that younger look, one needs fillers to replace some of the plumpness (baby fat look). Some people use fat injections and some use fillers and some use more permanent implants like alloderm. The fillers help with the lip borders so lipstic does not run into the small wrinkles and with the nasolabial folds which become much more deep. They help to restore cheek prominence and upper brow fullness. We use Botox to iron our skin, especially in the glabella above our nose. We can use it to iron the wrinkles around the lower lids, and corners of our mouth. We use it at the bottom of our columella to raise the nasal tip. Platysma neck bands also can be injected making for a much more youthfull neck. We use fraxel and good skin care to improve complexion and tighten skin. We can make ourselves much better looking with simple procedures. Look at the video on the website about the fillers and how it transformed one of our patients without major surgery. We will be delighted to examine you and see what will help.

Stocks go down and the stakes go up

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

When stocks go down many people loose their jobs and must hit the pavement looking for new opportunities. The competition for the few new jobs that are available becomes steeper. One not only must have a great resume, great enthusiasm, the willingness to work hard, honesty and competence, one must also present well. Some of the frown lines must be ironed out with Botox, and some of the deep nasolabial folds should be filled with some juviderm, restalyne or fat. Perhaps the complexion could be improved with a fraxel treatment or a good microdermabrasion. Age spots, and pigment unevenness can also be removed by fraxel or a good skin regimen. Of course if one has more time for recovery and also can afford it plastic surgery could take care of heavy eyelids, drooping jowls, too large and saggy breasts, and too large thighs. To look your best, one must find the best treatments that work for that person. Of course, hair treatments and a good cut as well as a well fitting suit or dress is also very helpful. It may not need to be very expensive, just appropriate and good fitting. So stop by our office for a consultation and help in making you the best looking candidate for any job at this difficult time.

Your appliances and You

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I bet your appliances are younger than you. I wonder why you changed them. I think your car is probably younger than you. What about the paint on your walls or the rugs on the floor. Your computer? furniture, sheets, dishes??? You see, all need maintenance and some are even discarded and new ones brought in. Why? they do not look good any more and they do not work as well as the new ones. Well, we cannot do this to people and ourselves. We cannot throw our old selves out and get new bodies. However, we can REJUVENATE whatever we can. So, we get facelifts, and breastlifts, and breast augmentations for deflated breasts after childbirth and we get tummytucks, we get liposuction, butt lifts, and even labia reduction and vagina tightening.  Why-cause that is as close to new as we can get. If we are not embarrassed to do it to our dishwashers and washing machines and cars why are we embarrassed to do it to ourselves? Why we are not embarrassed to paint our walls yet we wonder if we should dye our gray hair? what is the difference between painting our walls which are old and cracking and painting our hair which are old and gray? We fill cracks in our bathtub edges or wood furniture, what about the cracks we see on our bodies? So get out the facial fillers like juviderm, restylene, fat, radiesse and whatever else you can find and fill out the cracks. You iron your sheets, what about ironing your wrinkles with botox or fraxel lasers. You often fix your old plumbing especially if it is loose. Well tighten up the vagina and loose labia and whatever else has loosened up in your body. 

You see, our body is a machine that runs for 80-90 years if we are lucky. Surely, nothing else runs that long, and at least nothing else runs that long without maintenance and repair. So be kind to your body just like you are kind to your appliances, and cars and other possessions- MAINTAIN it, polish it, and keep it youthful and happy.
