CLAIM YOUR PROFILEI am happy to report that Sculpsure just received its FDA approval for the treatment of submental fat this week. We just had our device updated today and will begin treatment in the next week. Unlike Sculpsure for body contouring where the recommended BMI is 30 or less, Sculpsure treatments for the submental area can be done effectively and safely with individuals with a BMI up to 43! Like body Sculpsure the treatment takes 25 minutes and there is no associated downtime. The FDA study reported 100% patient satisfaction.

Thanks for your question. Rejuvination of the area around the eyes (periorbital area) can involve a variety of treatments. These days often significant improvement can be obtained without surgery by using filler, botox or a combination of the two. Specifically, hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to tremendously improve the hollows that develop below the eyes. The sunken areas typically result from volume loss along the cheek bones over time. Restoring the volume to these areas is now done commonly and the results can look quite natural. I find that a combination of Belotero to the hollows just below the eyes along with Voluma to the malar cheek bones tends to produce excellent results.
In addition, Botox can be used to reduce muscle bulging of the lower lids when necessary and injected into crowe's feet at the lateral aspects of the eyes to also make them appear more youthful.

Thanks for the question. Sometimes distinguishing between a mole and wart can be difficult especially in an area where the lesion may often be rubbed or traumatized. A simple shave biopsy for pathology should be able to provide a diagnosis. Other skin lesions such as seborrheic keratoses (which are benign) can also occur across the body and mimic both a wart and a compound nevus by visual inspection.

When moles are removed, they can sometimes grow back with an irregular appearance. If the mole is benign we typically call this a recurrent nevus. However, any irregular appearing pigmented lesion should be evaluated by a dermatologist or other qualified physician. This one should be as well. There a few possibilities here relating to this particular lesion.1) It is a benign but irregular appearing recurrent nevus. 2) If the mole was initially removed and found to be precanerous based on pathology (a dysplastic nevus) it could represent a return of the prior precancerous mole. 3) The mole has developed into a malignant melanoma. Purely based upon the picture it is impossible to give you a definitive answer. However, the most important thing regarding this lesion would be to have it evaluated by a dermatologist as soon as possible.

Amazing job with filler in my lips. The shape was better than any other doctor I’ve been to and it lasted almost exactly a year. He’s very detail oriented, takes his time and it looks amazing. I work in the TV industry so I rely on this perfect. I drive 8 hours to go to Dr. Soden Jr. because he’s the best. Thank you!
I love my results! Over the past 10 years, I have had a few treatments in an attempt to look more youthful ( now 55 ) but really never saw a difference or the results were not natural looking. Dr. Soden filled the area under my eye, lifted my cheeks and softened my lines. The best part was it looked liked me.... I highly recommend this physician!! Paula
I initially visited Dr, Soden Jr. to find a solution for the thick skin on the soles of my feet. While I was there I decided to enquire about facial fillers. With a pleasant demeanor and professionalism, he studied my face and explained what I needed to have done, the procedure, and answered all of my questions. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Soden Jr. injected facial fillers along my cheeks, smile lines, and hollowed under eyes. When he handed me the mirror I was amazed at the quick transformation. His skillful hands literally turn back the hands of time with a small procedure. I look refreshed. I will not hesitate to see him again. By the way, Dr. Soden Jr. gave me a prescription to dissolve and hydrate the thick skin on the soles of my feet; they are well on their way to looking pretty for the first time ever. I have seen many dermatologists of the years and they all told me that I had to live with my condition.
My visit with Dr. Soden was refreshing, productive and educational. The overall professionalism, concern and courtesy he displayed reassured that I will continue to see him for skincare and different procedures.
This was my second SculptSure treatment (although I have had other services). The doctors and staff here always exceed my expectations in providing quality care and services. the best part is that they are a small family owned office but do not fail to provide the upscale service with the added bonus of tailored attention. I always feel comfortable and welcomed and will NEVER go to another office for services.
After two years of living in a difficult environment overseas and working too much, I aged 10 years. It's not that I wanted to look 20; I just wanted to look my age (37). I feel like I got myself back. While the change was dramatic, it was not jarring. Also, I wasn't that enthusiastic about having work done, but Dr. Soden explained what my options were and the implications of each, including how often I would have to touch up (every two years), and I picked what made me comfortable. I was amazed at how much more confident and less insecure I felt immediately. The technology is amazing, and Dr. Soden is an artist.
Dr. Soden Jr. provides superior skin care using current technology and enhancement techniques for various shades and skin types. He provides thorough consultations about available treatment options. The lasting results have given my skin a healthy youthful appearance. I highly recommend his care.
