New York, New York (PRWEB) February 24, 2014 More than 88% of aesthetic doctors are concerned about how the Affordable Care Act will affect the practice of plastic surgery, and up to one-third may retire early as a result of these changes, according to a new online poll conducted by Plastic Surgery Practice. Most respondents were worried that reimbursement rates would be reduced so dramatically that they would have trouble paying their own bills as a result. There was also concern that there would be an influx of nonqualified practitioners providing aesthetic procedures at cut rates to increase their revenue stream, which could compromise patient safety. The new results were released during a Plastic Surgery Practice webinar held on February 24, 2014. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is commonly referred to as Obamacare, health care reform, or the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It was signed into law to reform the health care industry by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010, and was upheld by the US Supreme Court on June 28, 2012. Its rollout has been fraught with hiccups, but several key provisions have already been enacted with more to come through 2022. The intentions of … Continue reading →

Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 19, 2014 Dr. German Newall from the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery has recently started using the Dermabond Prineo Wound Closure System introduced by Johnson & Johnson. Dr. Newall has seen outstanding results so far from the first patients to use the system. Johnson & Johnson introduced the wound closure system as an aid to the healing of surgical incisions and to improve the appearance of scars left by surgical incisions. The product is applied on the operating table immediately following the procedure when the incision is closed and remains there for six weeks following surgery. The use of the product requires no action on the part of the patient. In the few weeks the wound closure system has been available, Dr. Newall has used the product on tummy tuck patients, breast lift patients, brachioplasty and body lift patients. Dr. Newall has seen remarkably positive results so far. Dr. Newall is a leading body contouring surgeon, particularly in the area of large-volume liposuction to reshape the body.

Megan Willett/Business Insider My personal "Before" and "After" pictures with the morphing technology. In addition to risks from anesthesia and botched procedures, patients are taking a major gamble that they will share the same aesthetic ideal with their plastic surgeon. Enter visual surgery, or "morphing" the use of technology during the consultation process so that the patient and doctor can agree ahead of time on the surgical end results. I visited the plastic surgery office of Dr. Douglas Steinbrech in New York City, whose practice has been using morphing technology for the past seven years. I went to learn about the technology he uses to consult with patients -- I did not have any cosmetic procedures myself. In short, morphing is the use of image manipulation software to give patients an idea of what they will look like once their surgery is complete. The surgery visualization has a few upsides, Dr. Steinbrech explained. First, patients can get an idea of what they will look like after the surgery, and decide if they want to go more or less extreme than they had originally planned. "Patients tend to be more conservative," said Patient Coordinator Bernadette Mahoney. "I think a lot of … Continue reading →

Liposuction procedures had increased by the highest amount, by 41 percent in 2013 while the number of breast operations (still the top surgical procedure in the U.K.) had increased 13 percent year on year. The uptick in breast surgery follows a high-profile scandal in the U.K. and France over faulty breast implants but BAAPs said the figure shows that "demand for the procedure doesn't appear to have significantly diminished in the longer term." Another economic factor that hasn't appeared to put a damper on the industry is the U.K.'s economic downturn since the financial crisis hit in 2007. In fact, the value of the cosmetic surgery procedures market was worth 2.3 billion in 2010 ($3.75 billion) and is estimated to grow to 3.6 billion by 2015, BAAPS reported. "The continued double-digit rise of cosmetic surgery underlines the fact that whether it is breast augmentation or anti-ageing procedures like face-lifting, the public are choosing tried-and-tested surgical methods rather than the magical-sounding quick fixes that fail to deliver promised results." (Read more: How much younger does plastic surgery make you look?) Anti-ageing procedures had also increased in popularity with face and neck lifts up 13 percent, eyelid surgery up 14 percent and … Continue reading →

Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 31, 2014 Dr. German Newall of the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery has developed a new technique for thigh liposuction he says is sure to result in satisfied patients. Thigh liposuction is a very common request from women, as females tend to store a greater amount of fat in their thighs than males do. As women age, the body tends to hold more fat in select areas. These areas, such as the thighs, contain large amounts of insulin receptors on the fat cells. When a significant amount of fat is stored in the thighs, it is referred to as having a pear-shaped physique. Extra fat on the outer thighs can cause tight-fitting clothing to look as though they are cutting into a person. Too much fat on the inner thighs can result in the thighs rubbing together, causing discomfort, irritation and rashes. Liposuction is one way to remove excess fat from these problem areas. However, the results from tumescent liposuction of the legs have not always been desirable for patients. In the past, removing fat from the legs resulted in an uneven, dimpled surface. To solve this problem, Dr. Newall has developed a new technique for … Continue reading →
