When it comes to relaxing wrinkles in the face, Botox® Cosmetic has long had the corner on the market. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Botox is the number one cosmetic procedure for women and men. In April, 2009, the FDA gave the go ahead for Dysport, a product similar to Botox. Although new to the U.S., Dysport has been used overseas for many years.

Every now and then a new invention comes along that I wish I’d invented. So it is with the Keller Funnel. I have been using this new breast augmentation device for about a year. It is an amazing advancement in breast augmentation surgery. In addition to the improvement in my surgical results, two of the things that make it so amazing are its simplicity and ease of use.

I have always been lucky enough to have long eyelashes. Yet when Latisse became available, I thought “why not make a good thing even better?”
If you’re not familiar with Latisse, it is a prescription treatment that helps eyelashes grow longer, thicker, and darker by applying a thin line of the product to the upper eyelid, at base of your eyelashes.
Remember the old song lyric by Crystal Gayle, “Don’t it my my brown eyes blue”? This made me think about a topic that many of my patients ask about… “Will using Latisse make my blue eyes become brown?” In a word, no, and the reason is simple.

Artefill® is one of the most exciting products to ever hit the injectable market and it has just landed at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre.
Artefill is a completely different type of filler from what is currently on the market. It is the first FDA approved injectible dermal filler that gives you the longest lasting wrinkle correction available.
This product is a unique combination of purified bovine collagen gel, tiny synthetic microspheres (polymethymethacrylate, commonly known as PMMA) and lidocaine (anesthetic agent).
The quest, for long beautiful lashes, is something women have dealt with forever. There are those lucky ones that everyone envies. They have long, thick curving eyelashes but they are in the minority.
Now there’s a new product on the market that was developed as a result of a glaucoma eyedrop. In 2001, patients taking a medical product to lower inner eye pressure in people started noticing enhanced eyelid growth. Allergan developed this into a treatment to be applied to the base of the eyelashes.
