Nip This Tuck That

 I saw a tummy tuck, for a psot-op visit and started to remove some of the stitches.  The stitches around the belly button are removed about 9-10 days after the surgery.  I’ve been using dissolveable stitches for everything else.  She has some numbness over the entire abdomen, which becomes completely normal at about 3 months postop.  The abdomen will contimue to flatten, as the swelling subsides over the next couple of months.  Strenuous exercise can be resumed at 8 weeks after the surgery.  I wonder how many of the celebrity transformations are really Tummy Tucks (Abdominoplasty).

 I gave Ashton’s demo CD to several other sources in pursuit of feed back from another producer.  We are deciding whether, or not, we want to accept an exclusive 6 month agreement from another record producer to shop Ashton to record labels. 

 Working on the final details of the residents rotation through our office to have me teach them Facial Plastic Surgery procedures.  Worked with my publicist to get out a couple of new press release.  One was about general anesthesia and how it is rapidly becoming a thing of the past with plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures. 

 Did several surgeries, this week, under local and have several more next week the same way.  People just don’t want to feel out of it from the general anesthetic if they can avoid it.  With some surgeies, I need people to be completely asleep because you can’t completely numb up the surgical area…like Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck, Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Face Lift, Neck Lift, Cheek/Chin Implant, Lip Augmentation and Browlift.  In fact, I saw a consult today that was thrilled to hear that she could have her surgery without a general anesthetic.  Glad to be of service!  As always lots of Botox, Restylane, Radiesse, perlane and Juvederm Injections…and our Francis R Beverly Hills (R) skin care products are always a big seller.  Read more here: http://www.frbh.com
