Rhinoplasty/nose job meeting


Dr Turowski has returned from Aspen/Colorado where he attended a rhinoplasty/nose job meeting. It is great to exchange ideas with our colleagues! I am pleased to hear that more and more surgeons are warming up to the idea of not using gauze packing after rhinoplasty - much less pain for the patients . I have stopped using this several years ago - what a relief for our patients!

Laser hair removal - new gold standard - Duet!

We are ready- new Lightsheer Duet hair removal laser is available in our clinic, first in Chicago. It is a revolution. It replaces previous gold standard in laser hair removal - Lightsheer that we used for the past few years. New laser, with vacuum technology & larger head size has several advantages - no messy prep with gel, no need for topical anesthetic and much faster treatment time. This is especially important for large areas such as backs (Men!) . But most important is improvement in pain - virtually none! Our patients love it. For the ones that were tired of painful treatments this is a savior! So far in Chicago we are the only clinic to offer this breakthrough technology!

Back in Chicago


I am back in Chicago - pretty drastic change! (about 80 degrees difference)
It was a nice meeting, I was able to catch up with my plastic surgery colleagues and get up to date on new trends. I will share some with you. For those who do not like pain - now we mix fillers for lip enhancement and wrinkles with local anesthetic -
much less "ouch" effect!

Plastic surgery meeting news


It was hard to get to work today , here on Virgin Islands! (I am here for the plastic surgery meeting)
Good news is that everybody feels that economic crisis is over and people are spending more and more on cosmetic surgery, Botox and fillers. Also younger and younger women use these forms of non invasive rejuvenation. They just want to stay ageless
