LifeStyle Lift - finally penalized for fake "testimonials"

LifeStyle lift was penalized in July and agreed to pay $ 300 000 to settle the claim and promised to refrain from publishing any further fake positive reviews on their website and Internet message boards and other advertisements. Apparently , LifeStyle lift used their employees who never had that procedure to post enthusiastic reviews and instructed them to "write frequently about the great experience they had"

we hope this sends a clear message to all companies that use these types of fake advertising. We are proud to support our patients that gave us their testimonials - they are REAL!

Kendra and Kourtney Kardiashan - breast feeding after breast augmentation?

Two of the hottest TV starlets Kourtney Kardiashan and Kendra Wilkinson are pregnant. Both of them have undergone breast augmentation surgery and want to breast feed their babies. Is it possible?

Although there is no guarantee, the truth is most of the women who underwent breast augmentation prior to their pregnancy go on to succesfully breast feed without any problems. This is certainly our experience. Over 50% of our breast augmentation patients are deciding to have their breasts enlarged before first pregnancy

New statistics are in - the list may surprise you...

American Society of Plastic Surgeons published 2008 statistic on plastic surgery procedures. Here it is:

1. Botox (over 4.6 mln served! with no or minimal side effects)

2. Removal of skin moles and lumps

3. Filler injections

4. Chemical peels

5. Laser hair removal (it is popular in both man and women)

6. Microdermabrasion

7. Breast augmentation (over 700 000 larger breasts in the USA this year alone)

8. Liposuction

9. Repair of cuts

10. Nose reshaping (rhinoplasty - over 280k procedures)

This list pretty much follows what I observe in my practice. Non-invasive treatments are on the rise because they are safer and more predictable. At the same time surgeries like breast enhancement went up 64% over last six years. Nose job remains to be very popular procedure although as compared to breast implants this number is split between man and women :-)
