Last Friday we posted the following trivia question Name a reason why it's NOT a good idea to travel internationally to have plastic surgery? Everyone answered correctly – good job! A typical plastic surgery/travel website offers, “Stay in the heart of Chiang Mai and explore the art and culture of the 700-year-old city while you recuperate after plastic surgery.” A Philippines destination website sweetens the pot with, “Enjoy a round of golf after your plastic surgery,” also including roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, free day trips and spa treatments. You may ask yourself, “What is the likelihood of my teeing off the day after my plastic surgery or boarding a tour bus at 8 AM to enjoy some ruins?” If you’re a cockeyed optimist, you may...

His love for peanut butter spreads for many many years. I’ve seen him spread his Peanut Butter on a piece of graham cracker,... Continue Reading
The Food and Drug Administration approved a new silicone breast implant from Sientra for use in the United States. This will be the third company in the U.S marketing silicone breast implants. The product is also offered by Allergan Inc. and Johnson and Johnson (unit of Mentor Worldwide, LLC).

It is important to reiterate and stress that implants in the United States have a long, proven history of high quality with rigorous testing during the manufacturing process.... Continue Reading
