  Dr E is one of the best Dr to go to for hair treatment in South Fl. Dan is very helpful and responsive. In fact, I am giving my husband "the gift of hair" for his 40th, and I will go to Dr E for his consultation. There is another very good one in Boca that with whom we will also consult.

  You mean Allergan right?
  This is an outrageous situation. Everything is wrong about it. The message for that little girl who is so cute with her dimples, the ethics of whoever is providing the product, and don't get me starting on the parenting! This mother should be fined for so many reasons. It is ILLEGAL for anyone that is not a MD or PA supervised by MD to inject Botox. A part time esthetician?? Are you kidding me?? And what is that little girl will think of herself when she really has signs of aging? What kind of messed up woman is she going to become?
  I love my Botox. But I'm 36!

  I aree with Richard. Although genetics plays a big role in certain African American, Latin and Native American communities, education is key to help combat it. And if parents don't learn about what they eat and what they put in their children's bodies, they are indeed responsible. But I think the real issue is for them to have access to that understanding in a way that they can apprehend and relate to, without feeling like second class citizen because they are usually the poorer class of our society. I think there is a real need for a national mobilization.
  As far as the surgery goes, I think children should NOT get a bypass. Maybe a gastric band. Less invasive, and reversible. And of course pre and post diet and exercise regimen with therapy too.
