Spring is just around the corner and it is time to start thinking about getting ready for warm weather clothes. If you have been thinking about getting some help to change your shape now is the time to do it. This is the time of year when we start to see the number of consultations for breast augmentation and liposuction rise. Combine that with spring break holidays and you end up with the surgery centers being crowded.
Information about breast augmentation can be found on our FAQ page as well as on:
http://www.drbrianglatt.com/blog/breast-surgery/part-1-of-series-frequently-asked-questions-about-breast-augmentation-surgery/
Another source is Dr Dean Jabs Blog (www.DrDeanJabsBlog.com) which has been dealing with breast augmentation questions lately.
All the best,
Dr. Jabs

Blood thinners also known as anti-coagulant, is used to prevent blood clotting. Aspirin is the most commonly used blood thinner.
What are some of the common products?
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen
- Herbal vitamins
- Vitamin E
- Herbal teas (Geeen & Black)
- Fish oil
- Ginko
- Ginseng
- Garlic
- St. John’s Wort
- Diet pills
These supplements and anti-inflammatory medications can cause bleeding problems during and after surgery. Instead, use medication containing acetaminophen (such as Tylenol).
1. Stop taking blood thinners two weeks prior to surgery date.
2. Let your doctor know if you regularly use any of the above.

Our practice offers you a great opportunity to visualize your expectations. Dr. Jabs and Dr. Richards offer computer imaging on most of the procedures they perform. This amazing tool is mostly effective on face procedures such as S-lift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty and otoplasty. Computer imaging gives the patient the advantage to have an idea of their post-operative appearance. We must keep in mind these images are only possible estimates, not the vivid image of the final results.
So, do not wait anymore and call us to schedule your complimentary consultation. Come and see how you may improve your looks by having surgery with one of our surgeons.

If it is not an emergency, please leave a message after the beep and we will call you back as soon as we can. If it is an emergency, then you can follow the directions and leave a message for your doctor, who will be paged and then call you back.
Thanks for your understanding and patience. Enjoy the snow….again.

Lately we have been receiving several calls from potential patients wanting additional information about the surgeons prior to scheduling their consultation. While the first stop should be our incredibly informative and up-to-date website, you may also want to consider the plastic surgery society websites including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. They are both a good source of information before or after you schedule your consultation. Most importantly however, do not hesitate to ask our staff any questions you may have as they are able to provide the most information about the surgeons, the procedures, the practice and our policies.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Arnica is a homeopathic medicine that helps to reduce bruises, swelling and pain from surgical procedures or accidental injuries.
Arnica is also know as Arnica Montana is a plant commonly found in the Northwestern parts of the United States and Central Europe. Arnica is made from the whole fresh flowering plant.
Arnica is given to our patients at the pre-operative visit. The directions are easy to follow: Take five pellets of Arnica three times a day starting two days prior to surgery. Place the pellets under the tongue and let dissolve. Please remember that your mouth should be clean before taking the pellets.

You know you have been wanting to do it for some time now, thought about it, checked your various schedules, made plans in your head, talked to partners and friends–so what are you waiting for?? Go ahead and pick up the phone and call us today (301-493-4334 or 703-506-0683) while there are still fall dates available. This is the most popular time of the year for cosmetic surgery, so do not delay or your first choice may be gone!

If you are considering an initial consultation, why wait another day–we are offering complimentary consultations and there is still enough time to meet with the doctor and complete your desired surgery before the end of the year.
It is time to do something for YOU–do not let another year slip away. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Of course, remember to visit our newly renovated/updated website–I think you will agree it is even better than the original!

Lifestyle Lift is a cosmetic surgery COMPANY that markets a plastic surgery technique to any medical doctor to enhance his revenue stream. The person that does the surgery will most likely NOT be a plastic surgeon, but rather a doctor that has taken a very short course. The company recently reached a settlement with the State of New York over it’s attempts fake favorable consumer reviews on the Web, as reported by the New York Attorney General’s office recently.
Evidently, the company had it’s employees pretending they were customers writing positive reviews of it’s marketed procedure on Web sites. The company also created its own sites of face-lift reviews to appear as independent sources.
Andrew Cuomo, the Atorney General, was quoted as saying that Lifestye Lifts “attempts to generate business by duping cosumers was cynical, manipulative and illegal.”
Caveat Emptor! Be sure to check what kind of doctor you are seeing before agreeing to any surgery. You are entrusting your face to someone. Make sure they have the requisite experience and training.
The New York Times reported on Lifestyle Lift in its July 15th, 2009 edition.
All the Best,
Dr. Jabs
