The highly cohesive "gummy bear" implant has just received FDA approval in the U.S. This implant has been available in Europe and Canada for 18 years and went through almost 10 years of clinical trials here in the US.
The new implant was nicknamed the "gummy bear" due to the consistency of the gel. What distinguishes the implant is its gently sloped teardrop shape and firm filling made of highly cohesive silicone gel. If cut in half, the implant will not ooze or lose its shape, yet it's still soft to the touch.
The new implants will be more expensive than the classic cohesive gel that have been available for the last five years. They are not meant for every implant patient and you should meet in consultation with Dr. Peterson in Topeka Kansas to determine if this is a good choice for you for breast augmentation.

Plastic surgery for dogs- $62 million in 2011
Botox to perk up a dogs ear. Fillers to fix broken cartilage. The stuff of dog show champions! Injection therapy to avoid cutting an animal. Plastic surgery is a growing part of the US pet industry.
According to insurer PetPlan, American dog owners spent $62 million on plastic surgery in 2011- but most are not about vanity, but improving quality of life.Two conditions are increasingly common among purebred and inbred dogs. Shar-peis, chows,bloodhounds can suffer from a problem where droopy skin turns eyelids inward and makes the lash scratch the eye. Dogs with squished in faces-bulldogs, boston terriers can have tissue that obstructs their airways- so a nose job is life saving.

how to read the new label on sunscreen
New sunscreen labels will make it easier for you to make an informed choice on sunscreen.
A mix of old and new labels will remain on the shelf for a period of time because the FDA has allowed a phase-in of the labeling requirements and retailers can choose to sell remaining stock of older labeled product.
UVB rays are the ones that cause sunburns. A good way to remember this is UVB = UVBURN! A product labeled with SPF (sun protection factor) minimizes UVB (sunburn) rays. The higher the SPF, the more protection against UVB rays. Watch for an SPF of at least 15.
UVB and UVA rays in combination create skin cancer and skin aging issues. A product labeled BROAD SPECTRUM will help minimize both UVB and UVA rays.
Look for a sunscreen that is labeled both BROAD SPECTRUM and SPF.

breast implants turn 50
Breast implants have been around for 50 years. While originally made popular by Las Vegas dancers, now the typical patient is a mother whose breasts have changed after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The most popular implant currently is gel implants (which look and feel more natural than the saline version).
Small-breasted personalities like Kate Hudson and Nichole Richie have opted for an implant that reflects a more natural look. However, the important part of the equation in breast augmentation is to see a plastic surgeon like Dr. Jack Peterson in Topeka, that listens to what the patient is looking for and custom fits the implant to their body size and desired size results.

is botox the one for my 1's?
Botox can give you noticeable improvement whether you have one frown line between the brows (1's) or two (11's) or even three (111's).
Years of squinting, concentrating, frowning (or scowling at your children!) cause your skin to crease. As time passes, the skin becomes less elastic and those frown lines remain, even when your muscles are not contracting.
Botox relaxes muscle activity that causes those lines to form. Click here to read more about Botox with Dr. Jack Peterson.
