Theodore Katz, MD, FACS (retired)

I started using Latisse the 1st week of May. It last about 2-3 months and you have to use it every day. I would wash my face at night and take off all my eye makeup. It comes with this little brush that you use to apply right on the edge of your eyelid (wear you would put eyeliner), the first couple times it did irretate my eye, but id say by the 3rd or 4th day I was fine. I do wear contacts, so I did have to take those out before i applied it. I want to say I really started to see a huge difference by the 5-6th week. All my co-workers could see a difference only after a month. My eyelashes are so much darker and fuller then they were before. The only downfall to this product is that youmust contuine to use it. If you stop using it then your eyelashes will go back to how they were before. One container of it last up to 3-4 months and it is about $100. If you go on their website you can print out a $10 coupon but make sure where ever you decide to go to buy it accept that coupon. I definetly see my self contuining to use this product. i am so happy with the results.

I had a receding hair line at the age of 37. I did not like the idea that I was going bald at such a young age. I would recieve comments from my coworkers about my hairless that would bother me. In addition, my wife never commented about my hair, but she supported me in my decision to seek more hair. I had three procedures from the same doctor who gave me personal attention and care. I would recommend hair transplants to anyone in my situation who felt like I did. The key is to find the right doctor who his superior surgical skills, but at the same time has the creativity to deliver results that are natural. I am now 50 years age and I look and feel great.

I had SmartLipo performed on my Abdomen in September of 2008. I chose SmartLipo over traditional Lipo because with Smartlipo, they use a laser along with the liposuction. The laser helps with skin tightening and it melts the fat at the same time. So when the Dr. was doing the lipo, it was coming out liquidy instead of chunky. The best part about smartlipo also was that I didnt have to be put to sleep for it. The Dr. gave me oral sedation for pain and he really toke his time and he made me feel comfortable. His staff was very attenative also. It was easy. I was very nervous when i fist came in but the staff and my Dr. really seemed to go out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. I cant wait to get another area done!

It will be 2 years in October since I had my breast Augmentation. Before I had my daughter i was a 34D. After my daughter I went down to a 36B-34C but lost a lot of mass and volume.I know am back at a 34D and they look and feel so natural. I went with silicone gel implants. They feel so natural and they move just like I didnt have implants at all. My family couldnt even notice the difference. They now fill out my bra completely and they look so much better in clothes then before.I had my insicion under the breast in the crease. I will say that my left breast healed beautifully and you can't see the scar at all. Being from mediterrian desecent, I do have the tendency to keloid. So, on my right breast my scar is a bit rised. I have been using scarfade and that has been helping a little bit.

I am just a few days post-procedure and I thought I would share my experience since I regularly consulted this site prior to making the decision to have smart lipo done.I will say that the pain was more significant than I anticipated. Since I have been through a lot...back surgeries and natural child birth...I think I down played this in my mind so I set myself up for a little disappointment in that regard. At times, it is uncomfortable as they say, but to be honest, at times, it just plain hurts. The procedure itself is pretty unfcomfortable with moments of pain...but nothing a strong woman can't handle. The recovery is a little worse than I expected. I was told it would feel like a really tough work out.....I think this is an understatement. I have worked out tough before and never experienced this level of soreness. I just feel achy and bruised all over. I am swollen quite a bit.My skin is so tender and with the amount of drainage going on (much more significant than I expected) I have to change my dressings frequently. Pulling that tape off an already sensitive area just hurts. Not sure how to describe that other than it feels very raw.I am at day 3 and still experiencing quite a bit of drainage so I haven't been able to shower yet. I was told yesterday by the nurse in my drs. office that the reason I have so much drainage is because of the amount of anesthesia he used....and he used so much because he was having such a successful time melting the fat. She said it was going so well, that he decided to maximize the results as best as possible. The down side to this is that the recovery is a little tougher but the results will supposedly be even better. I don't know the total volume removed but supposedly it is way more than the norm. Even with the swelling and bruising, it is possible to see a bit of a difference. I really look forward to next week when I think the swelling will be gone and I will be able to really start to see the results. I will post more then. So...with all that I said about pain and discomfort, I want to make it clear that I am in support of this and that I am thrilled that I decided to do it. I am someone who worked hard on my body but just could't see any results on my arms. I lifted and lifted but no change was ever evident. Also, due to a breast reduction, my underarms were out of proportion and I often had "rolls" sitting on top of my bra straps and tank tops. I haven't worn a tank top or dress without sleeves in years....without a jacket or shrug.
