This last August I was pleasantly inundated with teachers wanting surgery before school goes back. It is always fun talking with them about how much time they need off. Kindergarten teachers are so busy chasing kids, they may need more time than a sixth grade teacher, whose children – hopefully –require less activity on their … Continue reading School Teachers Use Vacations for Plastic Surgery
View MoreBy now everyone has heard about the French breast implant manufacturer that filled breast implants with industrial silicone. But in all the discussion, the most important lessons have been missed. Patients and surgeons need regulatory bodies such as the FDA to evaluate products strictly on the basis of evidence. And if you think that is … Continue reading PIP Breast Implants
View MoreWe often take for granted that plastic surgery does what we think it does. But after all these years, there was not a well done study demonstrating how much younger people actually look after a facelift. Finally in a paper published in the February issues of the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, blinded observers thought … Continue reading Facelifts Do Work
View MoreI have heard of nanotechnology, but I have to admit that until I saw this, I had not heard of nanosheets…so if I told you anything that was not in this story, I’d just be making it up! But from what I can read, this is one of the most exciting advances in surgery for … Continue reading Nanosheets” – Perhaps the Future of Plastic Surgery
View MoreWhether or not you are an Obama supporter, I think we can agree that a junk-science advocate has no role heading OSHA. I can let the anti-gun activist part go. It’s his business how he interprets the Second Amendment. But arguing against the Daubert decision puts him in a category of such shameful anti-intellectual behavior … Continue reading Fit to Lead the Flat Earth Society
View MoreYup. You read it right. My google alert for silicone implants went off for this one. Yes, you can actually get fake testicles for your dog. Too bad this came out just after I fixed my dog. I have one question: is this for the dog or is this for the dog owner? What’s the … Continue reading Silicone Dog Balls
View MoreI’ve been interested in cohesive implants for many years. I remember being in Israel in 1997, and visiting my friend Michael Sheflan in his OR. He was using the McGhan 410 implant, and I was impressed with what he could achieve with that implant. Since then, I’ve lectured in many countries about it, and have … Continue reading Dr Teitelbaum Discusses Cohesive Implants on PSC
View MoreIn this appearance on PSC, I discuss the role of 3D imaging in breast surgery. Breast augmentation patients clearly want to know what they will look like. 3D imaging is just one more way to help them envision what they might look like after breast augmentation. See http://www.drteitelbaum.com/breastaugmentation_3d.html for more information. http://www.theplasticsurgerychannel.com/plastic-surgery-procedures/breast-aesthetics/breast-augmentation/3-d-imaging-for-breast-augmentation-video-feature.html#more-171
View MoreThis story reminded me of that horrible tragedy in 2008, when a young woman died during surgery from Malignant Hyperthermia, an extremely rare reaction to anesthesia. Did the surgeon and anesthesiologist fail to recognize it in this patient in a timely factor? We probably will never know. But this lawsuit will not bring her back. … Continue reading MH Lawsuit
