As has been typical in the field of cosmetic surgery and cosmetic medicine
there has been further significant developments again during this year.

The most exciting new approach in surgery has surely been the Hi Def
Liposculpture method where I am able to produce the “six pack” look in men
and the sexy groove on the outside of the stomach in women. I learnt this
method with an exclusive group who travelled from America for a hand on
meeting in Japan and since have done hundreds of cases. This new
breakthrough was feature on two occasions on the Today Tonight program on Channel 7.

The Vaser, third generation ultrasound machine is combined with our
liposuction to help soften fat and tighten skin. Man boobs and large
stomachs do particularly well.

We are proud to announce the opening of our new MediDay Spas located in
Malvern, Glen Waverley, Bentleigh, Ballarat, Werribee and Geelong. The
approach is to combine the latest medical technology and advances with the most update beauty therapy treatments. This is ideal for face rejuvenation, pore cleansing, removal of face pigmentation and spots, body fat and cellulite and general relaxation therapies. I was featured this year on
Today Tonight regarding the non invasive treatments, especially in younger
patients.

New non surgical treatments include:

 A new breakthrough has been our first laser for acne and deep pore
cleansing- the Isolaz. Its new and unique suction simultaneous with the
laser extrudes the bacteria and sebum. When combined with the Profusion
creams it is also very effective as an antiaging device on the underlying
collagen. This therapy was filmed by A Current Affairs of Channel 9.

The Velashape is the latest body smoothing treatment that combines
radiofrequency, infrared and deep rolling massage. It is very helpful after
liposculpture and also for cellulite and fat reshaping together with the
Ultrashape.

The Vibrasauna also helps with weight loss and cellulite and is a great
relaxation.

Our expert beauticians also offer relaxing massages, Danna Enzyme facials
and body wraps.

The new Voluma injection gives shape and youthfulness to the cheeks and last about 18 months.

This year The Today Tonight program also interviewed me with three most
interesting sisters. The eldest had done so well with the cosmetic surgery
makeover so her two sisters decided to follow her. The program showed their great results and also how they interacted.

Wishing you all good health,

There are many new cosmetic procedures and treatments which have varying length of how long the result lasts for. Cosmetic Dermatologists and Specialist have been behind the development of new lasers and injections and procedures for both rejuvenation and shaping.

Permanent Face Fillers:
Many women have fillers for lip and cheek enhancement. It replaces the loss of volume that occurs with aging. A new “permanent filler” was introduced in Australia a few years ago and has recently undergone further successful testing in the USA. Dr Lanzer who first highlighted this filler on national television when he was interviewed explained that one injection can last for many years. Patients commonly have it in there lips, in the fold between the lips and cheeks and in the cheeks itself.

Liposculpture:
With liposculpture, the actual fat cells are removed permanently. This means that if there is an area of stubborn fat, say the hips or stomach, then when the fat cells are removed the area permanently will not be prone to localized weight gain as in the past. Doctors stress the importance of keeping fit and eating well to enhance the long term results as fat can come back into other areas. Liposculpture is a form of key hole surgery where the fat is prepared with a watery solution and then suctioned away.

Breast Reduction In Women:
The breast react like other areas of body fat and once the fat is removed the breast becomes lighter and tighter for many years if not forever. Hormonal effects on the breast tissue itself may change the breast size, which would be relevant especially if a teenager was having the reduction.

Suture Lift:
The skin Suture lift is an immediate lifting of the face skin without removal of face skin. It is not a permanent procedure and requires maintenance.

Eyelid Rejuvenation:
When the skin, fat  and sagging of the upper and lower lids are removed the eye takes on a more youthful “awake” appearance. This lasts for many years.

Muscle Relaxants:
Frown lines and smile creases are only temporarily treated with cosmetic injections in MediDay spas and practices.
 
Megaliposuction:
Patients who have battled with weight reduction can benefit from the sudden kick start of a new shape. This may be performed in conjunction or as an alternative to other weight loss surgery.

How To Chose A Cosmetic Surgeon
1) A specialist, such as a Dermatologist has had vigorous training and examination in skin care and procedures.
2) Always ask the Surgeon for his experience ie How many procedures has he done of that particular surgery.
3) Reputation spreads easily and often gives a good indication about the Surgeon.
4) The personality of the Surgeon is as important as his skill. He must care, understand your particular concerns and be there for you after the operation.
5) Written literature from the Surgeon is very important and informative.
6) Does the Surgeon operate in State Of The Art Surgery and use the latest methods and equipment?

Facial Relaxant May Cure Baldness, Doctor Says

Tuesday, June 23, 2009

Could Facial Relaxants cure baldness? One Beverly Hills doctor thinks it could.
Balding men may be offered a cure for their thinning heads — injections of Facial Relaxants.
The toxic chemicals are generally used to smooth out wrinkles, but doctors have discovered it can regrow hair too.
The treatment was discovered by accident — Dr. Simon Ourian in Beverly Hills, Calif., was trying to cure his mother’s headaches. Facial Relaxants is used off-label to treat migraines, and Ourian’s mother, a cancer victim, was going through chemotherapy.
After injecting Facial Relaxants into her scalp, Ourian was stunned to see his mother’s hair regrow. Facial Relaxants dilate the blood vessels, which allows nutrients into the hair shaft and stimulates new growth.
Ourian tested his theory on volunteers for three years, and although the treatment needs repeated injections, he has a “dramatic” difference.
“I was happily surprised,” Ourian said. “As hair loss is a significant source of insecurity, there was no shortage of volunteers.”

Dr Lanzer warns this is purely speculative at the moment and there is no proven data yet.

Liposuction in obese patients

Liposuction is one of the more common elective surgical procedures in the US and is supposed to be on the increase. There are no reported studies specifically addressing the metabolic sequelae of liposuction in obesity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of large-volume liposuction on insulin resistance and circulating inflammatory markers in obese people. Thirty healthy premenopausal obese (body mass index (BMI) from 30 to 45) and 30 age-matched normal weight (BMI<25) women were studied. In obese women, insulin sensitivity, as measured by the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA=fasting plasma glucose x fasting serum insulin divided by 25), as well as serum adiponectin, the novel adipocytokine with insulin sensitising properties, were significantly lower, as compared with nonobese women (p<0.01), indicating insulin resistance; on the contrary, serum concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-18 and TNF-alpha, as well as the sensitive marker of inflammation C-reactive protein, were significantly higher (p<0.01). All obese women were submitted to a single large volume liposuction (superwet technique): the mean aspirate volume was 3540 ml (range 2550-4670), corresponding to a net lipid loss of 2.7+/-0.7 kg (mean+/-SD). After six months of stable body weight after liposuction, women were less insulin resistant (p<0.05), had reduced concentrations of IL-6, IL-18, TNF-alpha and CRP (p<0.05-0.02), and increased serum levels of adiponectin (p<0.02) and HDL-cholesterol (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between the amount of fat aspirate and changes in HOMA (r=0.28, p<0.05), TNF-alpha (r=0.31, p<0.02), and adiponectin (r=-0.34, p<0.02), as well as between the decrease in TNF-alpha and the increase in adiponectin after the surgical procedure (r=-0.45, p<0.01). Our study demonstrates that liposuction is safe and free of metabolic sequelae in obese women, pending a careful screening of the patient. Moreover, it is associated with amelioration of insulin resistance and reduced circulating markers of vascular inflammation which may help obese subjects to reduce their cardiovascular risk.

Vaser Liposuction - Gently reshape your body by emulsifying the fat.

Latest breakthrough in liposculpture

• Liquefies and melts fat
• Rapid healing
• Promotes smooth result
• Enhances skin retraction and tightening

Dr Lanzer has been investigating personally the new state of the art Vaser for enhanced liposculpture. The third generation high frequency ultrasound is combined with the tumescent liposculpture method to enhance healing and results. Dr Lanzer explained that the Vaser targets the Fat only and so is safe.

The procedure can be done awake or asleep depending on patients preference.
Markings are done before the procedure as in regular liposculpture and particular attention is given to where the fat bulges and where extra skin contraction is needed.
The fat is filled with the tumescent fluid that was developed by co- dermatologist some 20 years ago. Dr Lanzer says that the fluid make liposuction much safer and allowed us to remove more fat and more evenly and from new areas such as the breast. At this point the Vaser is passed through the fat layer emulsifying it into a soft liquid which is then gently removed.
The Vaser not only liquefies the fat but also stimulates the collagen to tighten and contract.

The Vaser technology is also combined with the new concept of Hi Def whereby Dr Lanzer sculptures between muscle groups to enhance the athletic appearance. It most dramatic result is on stomach to produce the “6 pack” look or the natural grooves on women’s stomach. The vaser Hi Def is also very effective for love handle removal and Man Boobs.
Female Breast enlargement normally requires an implant. The Vaser Hi Def can also give an enlarging result to the breast by sculpturing around the breast and possibly with fat injection into the breast.
