June 4, 2007Non-Surgical Nosejob is not a Nosejob and not Risk-free
Analysis of: Nonsurgical wrinkle filler wins by a nose | www.shreveporttimes.com
Author: Adam Schaffner, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, The Detroit Medical Center
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."
June 4, 2007Patients Want Maximum Results with Minimum Downtime
Analysis of: New Survey Reveals Dramatic Rise in Non-Invasive Procedures in Facial Plastic Surgery | www.surgicenteronline.com
Author: Adam Schaffner, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, The Detroit Medical Center
Patients want to minimize signs of aging, look natural, and minimize downtime while maximizing results. Therefore, people are often choosing to have treatments such as BOTOX, injectable fillers, and mild skin resurfacing which require little downtime.

Analysis of: Blast Away Wrinkles | www.ivanhoe.com
Author: Adam Schaffner, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, The Detroit Medical Center
Portrait® Skin Regeneration technology uses a different (plasma) technology than those used in the past to diminish wrinkles, tighten skin, and regenerate collagen. Clinical trials have demonstrated that this is an effective treatment option which is one of many avaiable to patients who desire...
June 4, 2007Sculptra - A Volume Enhancing Injectable Filler
Analysis of: Sculptra(TM), new cosmetic dermatology treatment, creates long-lasting, natural-looking results | www.newswire.ca
Author: Adam Schaffner, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, The Detroit Medical Center
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.
June 4, 2007Laser liposuction - not worth the risk...just yet
Analysis of: Cosmetic surgeons aim lasers to melt away fat | www.app.com
Author: Adam Schaffner, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, The Detroit Medical Center
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. ...

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...

Analysis of: Getting a Discount on Plastic Surgery | online.wsj.com
Author: Michael Bain, Plastic and Reconstructive Physician, Michael A Bain, MD
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....
May 28, 2007Discount Plastic Surgery - You Generally Get What You Pay For
Analysis of: Getting a Discount on Plastic Surgery | online.wsj.com
Author: Adam Schaffner, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, The Detroit Medical Center
I believe that these discount programs are an attempt by a third party to obtain financial gain while the plastic surgeons perform the work. The only benefit to the plastic surgeon is the volume the plan may provide - just like any other health insurance carrier. If you want the most qualified,...

Author: GLG Expert Contributor
Cosmetic surgery is a unique entity in the free market economy. Less price does not always mean equal service. For years doctors who were plastic surgeons did reconstructive surgery but it rarely was able to generate adequate income alone so many turned to also doing cosmetic surgery. As time...
