Non-Surgical Nosejob is not a Nosejob and not Risk-free

June 4, 2007

Nonsurgical wrinkle filler wins by a nose | www.shreveporttimes.com

Rarely, if ever, will a non-surgical modality be able to deliver the same results as a surgical procedure.  The use of an injectable filler material (e.g., Radiesse), is no different.  Without question, its use is not "risk free."

Sculptra - A Volume Enhancing Injectable Filler

June 4, 2007

Sculptra(TM), new cosmetic dermatology treatment, creates long-lasting, natural-looking results | www.newswire.ca

Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is used to provide volume to areas where there is a lack of fullness.  This is not a "filler" of lines or grooves - it helps to enhance volume over time.

Laser liposuction - not worth the risk...just yet

June 4, 2007

Cosmetic surgeons aim lasers to melt away fat | www.app.com

Laser liposuction is a new technology which has not, in my opinion, yet been proven to be superior to conventional liposuction.  The potential benefit of less bruising and swelling following "laser liposuction" is outweighed, in my opinion, by the risk of the patient incurring burns from the laser.  I am aware of cases in which patients of board certified plastic surgeons have suffered burns following the use of "laser liposuction."

Mommy Makeovers are on the Move

Cosmetic Plastic Surgery "Mommy Makeovers" on the Rise | www.plasticsurgery.org

Patients of all ages want to look their best.  Women who have children and/or have experienced fluctuations in weight frequently desire to improve their overall appearance.  Common concerns include breast size, breast shape, and "pouches" of the abdomen.  These concerns are especially common following pregnancy.  Plastic surgery can help address some of these concerns.

Medicare should not pay for unsafe care

May 30, 2007

Hospital-borne ailments face Medicare budget ax | www.indystar.com

Medical errors and nosocomial infections continue to be on the radar despite several years of heightened attention and regulatory prodding. There has been no requirement or incentive to document how much of each patient's cost is due to avoidable errors or complications. It makes sense that Medicare and other payers should not have to pay for the "mistakes" of caregivers.  Most healthcare organizations, patients and caregivers alike should agree with this development in principle. Like with most bureaucratic policies, however, the devil will be in the details.

Doctors should consider patient out of pocket costs

May 30, 2007

Doctors fail at fiscal prognoses | www.orlandosentinel.com

Increasingly patients are being hit with higher out of pocket costs and it is a sad, unfair reality that patients might have to balance necessary treatment against the financial burden they might incur. Doctors have  a role in educating patients on the cost of alternative treatments offered. The problem is that for many modalities, physicians are no more aware of out-of-pocket than patients are.

Already here....

May 29, 2007

Getting a Discount on Plastic Surgery | online.wsj.com

Discount cosmetic surgery is already here, but not via large commercial companies.  Retention of actual plastic and reconstructive surgeons may be difficult if they are not paying well.  There is a place for this, however the solo practitioner will continue to have word of mouth and a place.
