Improper Photography – Why you shouldn’t always believe your eyes! (April 18th, 2010)

Reading about the amazing results of a new skin tightening procedure or a tummy tuck are one thing, but actually seeing pictures of it are another. We are more easily convinced of something when we can see it with our own eyes. That’s the reason many plastic surgeons offer visual examples of procedures they’ve done in the past. But what if the physicians were mislead because of their own photography? What if a doctor takes a preop photo one way, and a post op photo a different way? The ‘results’ that the doctor sees may only be illusory, but may be enough to convince both he and the patient that something positive has occurred. ...

New BodyJet Procedure (April 13th, 2010)

Wish your muffin top would just disappear? Want a bigger bust line? What if you could have both—in one single procedure? The DeLorenzi Clinic is now offering the new BodyJet device, which allows a flatter tummy and an enhanced bustline in just one procedure! The process entails removing fat from the belly area and putting it into the bust. In the past this technique was avoided, because when the fat healed in the breasts it created confusion, leading mammograms to be misread and unnecessary biopsies preformed. However, with new improvements in radiology this fear has abated, and the idea of fat grafting for breast augmentation is growing in popularity. This method is showing great results, and patients are very pleased with the ...

The Dangers of Fake Surgeons (April 11th, 2010)

Scary stories about fake surgeons and faulty doctors have been circulating for decades, but the reality is they’re out there and you could be at risk. In March, six women from Newark, New Jersey wound up in the hospital after receiving buttocks-enhancement surgery from an unlicensed person. Instead of using medical-grade product for the filler, a diluted non-medical silicone was injected into the women—the same product that’s used to caulk around bathtubs. Although there were no arrests, the six women will face pain and scarring from these illegal injections. They are urgent examples of why people wishing to have cosmetic procedures should look to do so in a proper medical environment by a licensed professional. The risks of going to a ...

Adipose Derived Stem Cells Overview (March 8th, 2010)

It was previously thought that stem cells were only found in bone marrow, and great lengths we’re taken to extract and store these valuable regenerative cells. However, new research shows that stem cells can be found in our own fat. Stem cells have the ability to grow into a wide variety of specialized cells, and can make up any tissue in the body. The rejuvenating quality of these cells makes them useful in the treatment of many serious conditions including leukemia, cancer, and spinal injuries. Stem cells are of great value, and in the past our primary source of these cells has been through umbilical cord blood, early embryos, amniotic fluid, and select adult tissue. The use of stem cells derived ...

SilkPeel Dermalinfusion® (January 21st, 2010)

What is it? Microdermabrasion is a technique of using small crystals to blast away the top layer of dead skin.  This technology was good, but it had several limitations.  The technology has now been superseded by a device that does not use any crystals and also applies topical solutions to stimulate various skin responses as in the treatment of acne, skin pigment problems, and even basic hydration. The new  SilkPeel Dermalinfusion® is the latest technology in topical skin care.  The diamond tip is used to precisely remove a specific amount of the top dead skin layer (stratum corneum) and specific infusions, tailored to treat common skin problems, are applied within the same treatment.  This is a substantial improvement over the previous system ...

Adipose Derived Stem Cells (December 24th, 2009)

What is this? Fat. We all think we have too much of it on our bodies, but it turns out that fat may be just the thing you want to have in your bag of tricks as you age. Fat is derived from one of the embryonic layers called the mesoderm. You may have heard of bone marrow transplants treat serious conditions such as leukemia. The reason that this is done is because bone marrow contains pleuripotential stem cells , a fancy term meaning cells that can take on new roles to create more cells of the kinds you need to live. It turns out that all that fat you have around your mid section ...
