I'M NOT MAD!!!!

Do you often get comments like "didn't you sleep well last night?"   or "Are you mad or upset with me?" Or   "You look like you need to get more sleep".    Are your eyes giving people the wrong impression?   Maybe you should look in to having your eyelids lifted.    They can make you look more relaxed and less stressed.  (even if you aren't)  Upper eyelids can even be done in the office with some local anesthetic.  Check it out.

Not too early!

Can you believe that the summer's almost gone?   Kids will be back in school within the next couple of weeks.   Doesn't it feel like they just had the last day of school?   And of course all this means is that the holidays are just around the corner---yet again.    Results from surgery usually take a little time for recovery and for the final result to appear.   It is not too soon to start thinking  about that surgery you've wanted to have so that you're "stunning"  by the holidays.   Do not put it off.  Get the process started now.   It's always a good idea to come in for a consultation to find out what procedures, options, etc are available to you to help you reach your goal.   Every one's goals are different.   But, you can't get any answers if you con't come see the Doctor.   Also, beware the internet.   The internet is a valuable tool for information on almost any subject, but remember that there's no one to police the information that anyone puts out there.   It may or may not be factual.   We have been dumb founded  to hear some of the ridiculous things that people tell us that they found on line.   Get the real facts.   Come see Dr. Sellers

IPL--Intense Pulse Light--Try it-you'll like it!

Do you have uneven, spotty skin?   Is your skin dull and sun damaged?   An exciting treatment for that is the Intense Pulse Light laser.   The treatments are done usually in groups of three spaced about 3 weeks apart.   It's amazing what it can do for clearing up those distracting brown spots.   The laser penetrates into the lower layers of the skin and attack the melanin (which makes the spots in the first place). For the next 24 hours following the treatment the brown spots darken, and then percolate up to the surface of the skin.   About a week after the laser you can have a microdermabrasion and buff off the spots.   Voila!  Clearer, more even skin tone.    The aestheticians in our office would be very happy to tell you more about IPL and would be happy to schedule you    Treat yourself-you'll be glad you did! Give it a try. 

Insurance and Breast Reduction Surgery

Did you know that there has been quite a shift in thinking at Insurancre companies in the last 10 years or so about breast reduction surgery?   When I started about 25 years ago, it was fairly uncommon for an insurance company to pay for reduction mammoplasty.   And those that finally pre authorized the surgery made you jump through all kinds of hoops to get there.     Many required physical therapy, chiropractic, specially made bras, 6 months conservative treatment with anti-inflammatories, special anti-fungal cream used on the rash under the breasts and the list goes on.  Many insurance companies today are finally accepting that the only treatment that works for problems associated with large, pendulous breasts is to reduce the breasts!   (Radical thinking)   So, if you've tried to get a breast reduction paid for before through your insurance company and just gave up, you might try again.   Each company has their own set of criteria for the surgery, but most are more agreeable than they were even 5 years ago.    Breast eduction surgery is universally praised as "the best thing I've ever done".   It's worth looking in to.
