Recently a patient of mine recommended Jan Marini eyelash conditioner, so I gave it a try. I can honestly say that I have used it and it works! In fact it worked so well I’ve decided to start offering it myself.
Let me tell you a little bit about Jan Marini Eyelash Conditioner. It’s wonderful! It stimulates eyelash and eyebrow growth (Who doesn’t want fuller, thicker, longer lashes?). And you can start to notice hair growth in as little as 4 to 6 weeks. There are other alternatives to attaining fuller lashes, but this is hassle free and effective!
If this sounds […]
Question: I’ve heard that breast implants have to get replaced every 10 years, is that true and why?
Answer: This is not true. Breast implants do not need to be replaced every 10 years. However, saline and silicone implants do deflate slightly over time and replacement may be something some women consider. At 10 years the rates are about 10 percent for saline and 15 percent for silicone.

Dr. Laurie Casas is quoted in an article posted in the March 2008 issue of Health Magazine. The article, Plastic Surgery by the Decade, covers 3 different age brackets of women who get breast enhancement procedures.
35 to 50 year old women account for more than half of all cosmetic breast procedures. Dr. Casas accounts for this saying,

Question: What causes saggy breasts and will breast feeding increase my chances of sagginess? If a breast lift is deemed necessary will my cup size change? What is typical recovery time for a breast lift?

Changes in breast size most often occurs when you lose weight or during the pregnancy and nursing period.

Question:
I have acne scars on my face and was told the only way to get rid of them was to get a very severe and deep chemical peel, and if my acne came back the procedure may end up being done “in vain”.
A few years ago I heard about the new Harmony Pixel laser for acne scars. If you get treatment from this laser for your scars and you have an acne outbreak does the scaring come back? Also what dermatologists in Northwest Indiana perform the treatment with the Harmony Pixel laser? What is the cost and is financing available? […]

Topical scar therapy like Mederma would be used 1-2 times a day, meanwhile scar sheeting such as Curad Scar therapy would be best used at night!

Dr. Casas is quoted in a Web Exclusive with Newsweek about the importance of weighing out the pros, the cons and the long-term consequences of breast implants:
“It’s like any decision you make,” Casas says. “You listen to the pros and cons and you weigh them.”
Since breast implants have boomed in popularity in the past number of years, it is now the most common cosmetic procedure for women; therefore it’s easy to overlook the potential complications involved with this surgery. Dr. Casas adds:
“Women must think of this as a very, very serious decision, because you are electively choosing to put a […]
Question: I’m looking to try some chemical peels for my stretch marks before I consider other surgery options, what other treatments are there?
Answer: Great question! Unfortunately right now there is no reliably treatment for stretch marks. Some laser treatments can decrease the darker stretch marks; but for the whiter stretch marks there aren’t effective treatments.
Now if your stretch marks are in areas which lend themselves to be cut out, such as the lower abdominal area then a tummy tuck may be your best option!
