Yup. 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

View MoreA “tweet” is using Twitter to send out information that someone might find helpful. A “twit” is someone who sends out information by Twitter with no bonafide purpose other than to secure publicity. Need I say more? I’ll accept the fact that patients have consented to this and someone else is doing the twitting…but who … Continue reading Surgical “Twitting”
View MoreAlas a story that talks about the fact that plastic surgery is still going strong despite the strong downturn in the economy. Why does this excite me? Because it is the truth. But the media has been intent on telling another story. At the beginning of the recession, I was interviewed by a major newspaper … Continue reading Recession? Hah! Plastic Surgery Thrives
View More“New Skin Technology Offers Patients Results of Facelift Without Invasive Cosmetic Surgery.” Where have I heard that before? Only about everywhere! This is the singly most-repeated line of BS in all of plastic surgery. Ever since I became a plastic surgeon, every year or two some person or company makes this claim. And 100% of … Continue reading Facelift Results without Surgery???
View MoreAh, so Sculptra finally gets FDA approval for cosmetic purposes. Does that change anything? Of course not. “Off-label” use of a drug or device is entirely legal and ethical. Just because a study, say, studied a drug in women between the age of 30 and 32, doesn’t mean that it won’t work on women 33 … Continue reading Gee Wow – Another Filler
View MoreI love satire, and this little video is great. Well, it is great the way it mocks the goal of longer eyelashes. But like a lot of at humor, it loses it when it goes too far and makes jokes about complications from Latisse that are too extreme to be funny. Satire has to bear … Continue reading Rift on Latisse
