Trying on my new ASAPS White Jacket!

Scottsdale – I just returned from the annual meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery held this year in Boston, MA.

I really feel the meeting was a great success for board certified plastic surgeons who attended this educational meeting.

When I was there, I was able to see some cool new products and enjoyed learning about what other top plastic surgeons are doing in their practice.

Whenever I go to this meeting, I leave feeling all “pumped up” about the new advances which are happening in the U.S. and all over the world, really!

I am excited to tell my blog fans that I will be blogging soon about new and exciting state-of-the-art plastic surgery techniques which seem really promising!

I hope to continue to bring the latest advancements for my plastic surgery in Arizona patients.

These can be improved with resection of the procerus muscle, which originates from the surface of the upper lateral cartilage and nasal bones and whose fibers inset into the skin of glabellar region. Procerus muscle resection is typically performed as part of a facial plastic surgery to rejuvenate the forhead.

As far as the procerus muscle, the only known function for this tiny muscle upon contraction is to pull the forehead downward and the root of the nasal tip upward, causing wrinkling.  

Botox® can also temporarily (3 to 4 months) reduce the wrinkles in the area.

Other facial muscles can also be treated simultaneously. For instance, the  corrugator supercilii muscles originate along the medial orbital rim and insert into the skin of the medial eyebrows. When these contract they effectively pull the medial brow downward, resulting in vertical wrinkling, which are also known as the “11′s”.

Another important muscle treated during forehead lift surgery, is the frontalis muscle in the forehead itself, which elevates the eyebrows. This muscle inserts on the skin of the forehead, causing transverse forehead wrinkles.

I saw this story while I was perusing Plastic Surgery Practice. According to the statistics released, the demand for plastic surgery procedures increased almost 9% last year. The Society, which has collected multispecialty procedural statistics since 1997, says the overall number of cosmetic procedures increased 155% since the tracking of the statistics first began. Impressively, almost 9.5 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures were performed in the United States in 2010.

The most frequently performed surgical procedure was breast augmentation and the most popular nonsurgical procedure was injections of botulinum toxin type A (including Botox and Dysport).

“These numbers mirror what we have been hearing across the country this past year,” says Felmont Eaves III, MD, ASAPS president. “Patients who put off surgery because of uncertainty in the economy and the job market are coming back for tried and true procedures. Growth in demand will likely continue as the recession eases and baby boomers and their offspring begin to explore surgical and nonsurgical options.”

Cosmetic surgical procedures increased almost 9%, with over 1.6 million procedures in 2010. Surgical procedures accounted for 17% of the total numbers of procedure performed.

In this episode of Plastic Surgery Review, Dr. Guerra discusses his recommendations to speed up your recovery for your plastic surgery in Scottsdale. He starts off the discussion by emphasizing the importance of following the post surgery recovery instructions that patients receive at the pre-operative appointment. In addition, he talks about making sure that patients walk, drink plenty of fluids and to do the breathing exercises. Dr. Guerra finishes the discussion by recommending that patients make it to all of their post-surgery appointments.
