On September 11, the FDA approved Botox for wrinkles around the eyes often referred to as "crows feet". Botox has been FDA approved for wrinkles between the eyes (referred to as 1,2 or 3's) since 2002.
Botox has been used cosmetically "off label" for years to treat wrinkles around the eyes. FDA approval will not really change anything- except perhaps a marketing edge over its competitors for the short term.
Dr. Jack Peterson in Topeka injects Botox personally and we can make same day appointments.

Change your fortune with Palm Plastic surgery?
In Japan, the latest craze is to change your fortune with palm plastic surgery.
Here is the concept. : change the way your palm is read by changing the lines on your palm- it will change your future.
All you need is a plastic surgeon with an electric scalpel who has a knowledge of palmistry. Draw the lines on your hand and let them work the magic you want. An "emperor's line for great success and good fortune, a marriage line for wedding bells? How about a money-luck line to win the lottery or a job promotion?

Angelina Jolie and her breast reconstruction
Todays news revealed that actress Angelina Jolie had made the choice to have a proactive double mastectomy and breast reconstruction. There are really two pieces of news here:
First, obviously, the decision to have a double mastectomy to be proactive against her high genetic risk factor for breast cancer.
Second, and possibly overlooked at first, is her decision to proceed with breast reconstruction at the time of her mastectomy. 7 out of every 10 women are never told about breast reconstruction as an option after mastectomy and the numbers are even worse for minorities.

Skin Cancer increasing in adolescents
In a recent sudy published in Pediatrics, since the 1970's the rate of melanoma has been rising about 2% per year in adolescents. The diagnosis was early twice as common in girls compared to boys. The most frequent melanoma sites in girls were lower limbs and hips, and on boys was face and abdomen.
The study reports increasing trends for melanoma over sun-exposed areas of the face and body and also suggests that tanning facilities may be a major explaination of why the rate is higher in girls.
Remember that sunscreen is the best protection if your children are active and outdoors. We are offering 20% off all our sunscreen products in May. Our suncreen product line offers full BROAD SPECTRUM protection.

male breasts in teenage boys affects mental health
Breast enlargement (gynecomastia) negatively affects self esteem and mental/emotional health in teenage males. In a study reported in the April issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, it was found that even mild gynecomastia can have adverse psychological effects in boys.
Gynecomastia is an enlargement of male glandular breast tissue that is very common in adolescent boys. Even with weight loss, the problem will not be corrected in patients who have glandular enlargement or those with excess skin in the breast area. The authors write that "merely having gynecomastia was sufficient to cause significant deficits in general health, social functioning, mental health, self esteem and eating behaviours and attitudes"
It may seem obvious that breast enlargement in males could have a psychological and emotional impact on teenage boys. However, adolescent gynecomastia has historically been a cosmetic procedure and in most cases is not reimbursed by health insurance.
