Super sexy starlette Megan Fox reportedly lost her engagement ring (for the second time!) on the beach in Hawaii… I can’t say I blame her though… I’d probably lose mine too if “David Silver” gave it to me 🙂

Lady Gaga in the Raw at the 2010 VMA’s!
Lady Gaga is the new “Octomom”! To 8 little moon-men that is!
Along with her VMA’s, Gaga managed seemingly endless wardrobe changes last night, but this look stole the show for the most MAS Appeal.
We first caught a glimpse of Gaga’s fresh-meat look on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, but we loved the revamped raw look she had on last night even more! We’re not sure if that shabu shabu style’s going to make it onto the runways at NYC’s Fashion Week, but the Haus of Gaga never ceases to amaze!
Gaga’s fashion is a cut above! We just want to know are those Filet Mignon Manolo’s?

Kim Kardashian got uncovered for the latest cover of W magazine!
Although it’s not the first time Kim’s taken it all off in print(Playboy,Harper’s Bazaar), we hope it’s not the last either. What a knock out!
We love the “klassy”, flirtatious banners across Miss Kardashian’s more sensitive spots and the silver shimmer to her skin through the spread.
Hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it! Kim definitely does both!

The Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation™
In the past, women who had breast augmentation surgery took prescription pain pills for 7-10 days, had to take off work for up to two weeks, and had a stay out of the gym for up to two months. If you’re looking for an alternative, you’ve found it!
The Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation, offered exclusively at MAS in New York City, makes a long painful recovery a thing of the past. Most patients are back to work and most normal activities within a few days.

Best Moisturizing Night Cream for Wintertime
You don’t always have to spend top dollar to get the best product. Eucerin’s Redness Relief line is excellent, and although it’s a little tough to find sometimes, you can get it at just about any higher end drugstore.
Winter weather will dry your skin faster than just about anything, and wind exposure will leave your skin with a red, inflamed look that most of us could do without. A moisturizing night cream can prevent this altogether by giving your skin the moisture it needs to repair itself after being exposed to the elements.
I have very sensitive skin and have found it difficult to find a night cream that does what it is supposed to do without being too heavy or clogging my pores, but Eucerin fixed those issues with this product. Highly recommend it!

Gummy Bear Breast Implants: VIDEO
Many people still believe that saline breast implants are a safer choice over silicone, but in many cases this belief is based on old information about outdated implant technology.
Now that highly-cohesive silicone gel implants (AKA Gummy Bear Implants) are FDA-approved for cosmetic breast augmentations, comparing saline to silicone is like comparing apples to oranges. When silicone implants were made with a liquid silicone core in the 1970’s, leaks were a real concern, and it made sense that perhaps a saline implant might be a better choice.
Nowadays, the majority of silicone breast implants are manufactured with a highly-cohesive silicone gel core, and therefore leaks are essentially a thing of the past. Because of this, the choice between saline and silicone has become much more straightforward. The gel core in the newest generation silicone implants is “cohesive” which means that it sticks to itself and does not travel away from its own silicone core. The above video shows a highly-cohesive gel implant that has been physically cut in half with a scalpel. As you can see, the silicone gel is a solid gel that doesn’t leak out of the implant shell even when the shell has been cut. And even though this gel is a solid, it is still incredibly soft so this implant feels very natural after surgery.

Botox for Migraines
I do quite a few Botox treatments for migraines, and I wanted to share one of my recent experiences with you.
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to treat a woman who traveled from Washington DC to have Botox therapy for her very severe migraines. She had been treated previously in California, Canada, and in several other locations, and although she experienced some relief from those treatments, she never actually “broke the migraine cycle” as I like to call it. Her headaches were less intense and slightly less frequent, but she was still tied to her oral migraine medications (and to their side effects).
Does my choice of incision affect the risk of capsular contracture after breast augmentation?
New data presented at the 2013 American Society for Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) meeting suggests that your choice of incision does affect your risk of capsular contracture.
The overall risk of capsular contracture after breast augmentation surgery is a range of about 15-20%, but new data suggests that the risk can be decreased to approximately 5% with inframammary incisions (in the fold under the breast). The two other most common incisions for breast augmentation are the periareolar incision (around the bottom half of the areola) and the transaxillary incision (through the armpit). This new research suggests that you have a significantly reduced risk of capsular contrature by choosing an inframammary incision for your breast augmentation procedure.

IPL for Freckles and Sun Damage
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a fantastic way to reduce the number of freckles and sun damage on your skin, so now that fall is officially here, and winter is right around the corner, consider a series of 3-4 treatments to get your skin ready for the next sunshine season.
The woman in the above photo series had two fairly aggressive treatments with the MaxG IPL/OPL system from Palomar, and you can see the amazing difference in the uniformity of her skin tone. The treatments were spaced about 4 weeks apart, and she did elect for a macrodermabrasion treatment in between her IPL sessions to speed up the process of the freckles flaking off. She had several freckles and flat moles that got extremely dark in the summer sun, and that is what prompted her to seek treatment.
The treatments themselves are fairly painless with numbing cream applied to the skin beforehand, and the treated areas will be bright pink for a few hours. The freckles themselves will turn even darker almost instantly after the treatment, and will continue to darken over the following 24-48 hours. This is a sign that the treatment was effective… the light was effectively absorbed by the pigment, and the pigment has changed in response to the light. If you don’t see this darkening, chances are that your treatment was either too weak, that the machine isn’t the best technology, or that your laser specialist didn’t customize the settings properly to your particular skin type.
The dark spots will begin to flake off about 3-4 days after the treatment, and most of the smaller and lighter spots may be completely gone after a week or so. The largest and darkest spots may take a few weeks to fade completely, and the most stubborn of those may need a few separate treatments.
If you have any questions about using IPL for treating freckles and sun damage, please feel free to give us a call or text message at 917-703-7069 or send us a message by clicking here.

Earlobe Repair Surgery
The most common reason for earlobe repair is a gradual weakening of the earlobe tissue caused by heavy earrings. It can also be caused by catching your earring on something and forcefully tearing the lobe, but showing off heavy bling is the most likely culprit.
The good news is that torn and damaged earlobes can be repaired. Earlobe repair is a fairly pain-free procedure that can be done under local anesthesia in the office setting. For most patients, it takes about an hour, and you can go back to work the same day if necessary (although we do recommend that you do take the day of the procedure off so you can apply some ice).
The damaged section of the earlobe is excised, and the remaining healthy tissue is meticulously repaired with very delicate stitches on the inside and out. The stitches are so small that most people would not notice anything out of the ordinary about your repaired lobes when you go back to work, and they don’t require any special care other than keeping them clean with your normal face wash. The outside sutures are removed on the 5th or 6th day after the procedure, and the inside stitches dissolve after earlobe tissue is healed. The incision does leave a small, but very inconspicuous, scar that will be hidden almost completely after the ear is re-pierced. The scar will be red/pink for several weeks after the procedure, and then will gradually fade to an almost invisible thin line.
A meticulous repair involving the internal and external tissues of the lobe is the key to a strong, long-lasting repair, so be cautious about who performs your procedure. The surgeon should be comfortable with earlobe surgery, and he or she should be willing to take their time to ensure an adequate repair. Otherwise, the lobe will simple tear through again as soon as you start to wear earrings.
Women can re-pierce their ears and wear light earrings about 8 weeks after surgery, but clips on earrings can be worn before then.

Study finds breast augmentation improves a woman’s sex life
A survey study among members of the popular QA site RealSelf.com found that a significant percentage of women with breast implants report that their sex lives improved after the procedure.
- 61% reported having sex more frequently
- 70% reported having a more satisfying sex life overall
While the finding of this study aren’t surprising, it’s still nice to know that breast augmentation surgery produces such benefits that often times can’t be predicted or measured. It makes sense that boosting a woman’s self esteem would translate into a more enjoyable and active sex life, just as anything that makes a person more attractive would.
Although the study didn’t specify this, I am guessing that a significant percentage of these women would describe their experience as having their sex lives restored or renewed rather than enhanced. At least 40% of my breast augmentation patients are women married with children who don’t necessarily want an augmented look. Instead, they simply want the fullness and cleavage they used to have before they had kids. It’s also quite common to rejuvenate the abdominal area at the same time with a combination of procedures that is commonly referred to as a Mommy Makeover. A mommy makeover includes a breast augmentation to restore the cleavage and fullness lost during pregnancy and breast feeding, and an abdominplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess abdominal skin, stretch marks, and repair split abdominal muscles for a flatter, tighter stomach and a smaller waist.
Obviously breast augmentation surgery is not a magic bullet for everyone who is having trouble in the bedroom, but it can be a welcome boost for many women who would feel more confident with an enhanced version of themselves, or with a rejuvenated version of their younger, pre-baby, body.
