Spring is Coming!

As I look out my window today there is blue sky.   There is sunshine.    Even though the grass isn't green, I can see some brownish vegetation where there used to be snow.  Tomorrow is March 1st.   Spring must come soon.    It's almost time for tee shirts and shorts.   It's still not too late to do something about that  breast augmentation you've been thinking about for a long time.   Liposuction of your inner and outer thighs would make it a fabulous spring.   Don't delay though, the optimal results from cosmetic surgery usually take a few weeks to be realized.   Be more confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Longer, Darker, Fuller Eyelashes! Oh, My!

Are you  really bummed out because your finances simply will not stretch to cover any cosmetic surgery right now, but the winter has gotten your down and you need a little boost?   Well, a fairly economical  gift you can give yourself is some Latisse eyelash growth serum.   In about six weeks of nightly use you will see darker, fuller, longer eyelashes.   It really works.  

Is Liposuction Cheating?

Have you been spending huge amounts of time and effort at the gym and still find that those trouble areas that you are battling are still there?  In spite of what you might read on the internet it is impossible to exercise fat away from a specific area.  There are not enough leg lifts in the world to get rid or inner thigh fat deposits if you ae genetically programmed to have them there.  You can strengthen and tone the underlying muscle mass, but you can't just "crunch" way abdominal fat.   If you're at (or close to)  your ideal weight and still have some pesky fat pockets you just can't get rid of you might consider liposuction.   We have had several patients who are fit and spend a lot of time in the gym who have had their saddle bags  liposuctioned and have been thrilled at the result.    You don't have to have a huge problem to benefit from the shaping of lipo.  If you lose 5 pounds no one would even notice, but if you take 5 pounds from your abdomen--WOW!  You ought to consider it.    It's a great cure for frustration.

Latisse for eyelashes

Have you tried Latisse yet?   It's the prescription strength solution from Allergan that you paint on the base of your upper eyelashes every night to grow longer, fuller, darker eyelashes and  it really works.   All of us in this office have been trying it for the last 3 months.   Wow!   What a difference it makes.   I haven't met anyone yet who has tried it that wasn't thrilled with their results.   Latisse comes in two sizes.   It takes about 6 weeks of use to really see the difference in your lashes.   The smaller size Latisse is a 30 day supply and the new .5 size should last for 10 weeks.   (Plenty of time for you to be wowed by your new lashes)  For more details you can go to their website or just call us.    We sell both sizes in our office.  If you've struggled with thin, colorless, stubby eyelashes and want to try something that really works come get some.   We sell it here in Dr. Sellers' office.   It isn't something that you can buy at the corner drug store.   It's fabulous! 

Full Face Laser Resurfacing

One of the most dramatic procedures that Dr. Sellers does is the full face laser resurfacing.    It is done with a C02 laser and is one of the most effective modalities for refining the texture of the skin.   It eliminates fine lines and wrinkles and even makes deep lines and wrinkles much, much less noticeable.   It evens out the skin tone and makes the new skin fresh, smooth and soft.  Though it is done in the hospital with some sedation for anesthesia  there are no incisions involved.  The results are wonderful.   Unfortunatley, it is not appropriate for dark skinned people, because it may leave the facial skin much lighter than the rest of their skin.   We have lots of pictures of folks who have undergone laser resurfacing and we'd be happy to share them with you. 

Mommy Makeovers

A recent Mommy-makeover patient said "This surgery has changed my life. I feel so much more confident in every way. I feel more comfortable around people. I don't mind exercising. I don't mind at all going for long walks now and having people drive by in cars. I feel comfortable in my skin for the first time since before I had my kids". If any of these things ring a bell with you, consider what can be done. There's no denying that it's a substantial investment in time, money emotion, etc. but sometimes even small changes can pay big dividends.
