So obviously our next question should be what can I do now and how can I prevent it? Lets first talk about one of the ...continue reading

FACIAL AGING

The quest to slow the facial aging process is occurring on all fronts and it is now generally believed that that simply stretching the skin over an aging skeleton is somewhat short sighted and shallow.

Food and Health

With the opening of Whole Foods grocery store down on Sand Lake and Turkey Lake Rd, and Publix having just bought about 50 Albertson’s grocery stores, and the rumor that the Albertsons on Dr Phillips is going to be a “Green Wise”, the healthy food industry is becoming more and more important to the consumer. So I thought I would give you an over view of the entire industry. When we speak of ‘organic’ we are talking about standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping. It generally involves: 1. Avoidance of synthetic chemicals in the production of food 2. Growing food on Farmlands that have been free of chemical for at least three years 3. In farms where both organic and non-organic are grown there must be strict separation. 4. Strict on site inspections and meticulous record keeping. In the U.S there are three levels of “organicity”.

The pros are that you will feel nothing initially, but afterwards there is quite severe pain. The second and most distressing fact is that 95% of all adverse side effects, including death, have all occurred under general Anesthesia!! The reason is simple. Most Plastic surgeons who do it under general anesthesia do multiple procedures or multiple fatty areas all at once. And all Physicians know that the more procedures you do under general, the greater the risk. Now Tumescent anesthesia. First, you are awake for the entire procedure. Using Dr Klein’s Solution, the area to be suctioned is infiltrated (filled) with the fluid, which numbs the area, and ...continue reading
