Scientists and clinicians have known for years that red wine offers health benefits. Scientific studies are now elucidating the exact molecules that are felt to be responsible for these benefits. Sirtuins are a class of molecules which appear to have a significant role in the aging process on a molecular level, and resveratrol has been the sirtuin in red wine which is being credited for the lowered heart disease risk. Scientists are attempting to develop a pill form to mimic the health benefits of drinking red wine without the “buzz!”

As the economy fights back to maintain its ground, patients are looking for ways to have their cosmetic surgeries while “tightening their financial belts.” This may be done by breaking larger procedures into smaller units. Eyelid tucks (blepharoplasty) can be done alone instead of combining with facelift procedures. Laser resurfacing can be done to rejuvenate the skin surface without resorting to larger surgical procedures. Botox continues to be busy in our practice as patients resist obvious facial aging with simple injections. Call to find out what budgeted options may be in your reach!

Liposuction and breast augmentation continue to be the leading cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States. Liposuction continues to be in especially high demand in our practice and appears to be the top procedure for 2009 thus far.

Recent data shows that the number of men and women in their 60’s and above having cosmetic surgery has increased by over 40%! As our population ages, the demand for cosmetic procedures continues to increase and has taught me that the most important factor in determining whether a patient is a good candidate for surgery is not their age but their health. If a patient is healthy and has no significant medical or health issues there is no reason not to seek cosmetic surgery such as eyelid tucks, facelifts, liposuction or tummy tucks.

Kerry –

Thank you so much for everything. I have truly enjoyed getting to know you. So far, all is well. Now is the waiting game to see how it all turns out. I can honestly say that you are a breath of fresh air. Without your wonderful attitude and great personality, I might still be trying to make a decsision. You really helped with all my questions & put me at ease. It is just a bonus that Christina and Dr. Howard are awesome too!

Thanks a million!!

It has been four years since my breast augmentation surgery performed by Dr. Brian Howard, and I could not be more pleased with my results. A friend of mine highly recommended Dr. Howard after learning I was interested in having my breasts augmented. After attending my consultation appointment, I felt comfortable enough before leaving his office to schedule my surgery date. Dr. Howard thoroughly explained the surgical procedure and recuperation period and eased my concerns about having the surgery prior to starting my family. Recently, I’ve given birth to my first child and have not had any difficulties breast feeding. Dr. Howard is a perfectionist and I highly recommend him.
