The Liquid Facelift Has Arrived
Austin, TX (ContentDesk) April 21, 2004 -? Dr. Gregory Nikolaidis of Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery is one of only a few select physicians in Texas chosen to use Sculptra, a product created by Dermik Laboratories.
Already commonly used throughout Europe, Sculptra is known as the "liquid facelift."
Patients are able to safely and non-surgically receive the benefits of traditional facelifts through the product's effect of plumping up the skin.During the Sculptra procedure, a patient is numbed with topical numbing cream and given a series of injections in the desired area.
The material used in Sculptra is lactic acid, the substance that is naturally produced by muscles during exercise.
This acid stimulates the skin to produce more collagen, thus producing a plumping effect.
Dr. Nikolaidis believes that "this product will transform the field of cosmetic surgery."
Unlike other fillers, such as Restylane and Cosmoplast, which last only a few months, Sculptra causes the body to stimulate its own collagen.
This results in a much longer-lasting effect, generally two to three years.
Side effects of the procedure are minimal, other than short-term swelling and redness.Dr. Nikolaidis was invited by Dermik Laboratories to attend a training session on Sculptra in Chicago on April 17 and 18, and is scheduled to receive additional training in Frankfurt, Germany in June.
He will offer the product at his practice, Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, in Austin upon its United States release in July 2004.Gregory Nikolaidis, M.D. received his Dermatology specialty training at the University of California, San Diego, after graduating at the top of his class with Honors in the Basic Sciences from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
Dr. Nikolaidis opened Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery in 2002, devoting his practice to cutting-edge, minimally invasive aesthetic procedures.
He has been a leader in other recent break-through cosmetic surgery techniques, including Feather-Lift and ThermaLift..

Cosmetic Chin Surgery - The Final Facial Touch
When either cosmetic or plastic surgery are mentioned to us, our thoughts run immediately to breast implants or liposuction, but there are many other procedures available that although they might not receive the same attention of their more obvious counterparts can have a huge impact upon both the appearance and the self confidence of a patient. One of these unsung heroes is cosmetic chin surgery, which can exert a profound effect that belies the ease with which it can be performed. Cosmetic chin surgery is a relatively simple procedure that is usually performed in about an hour or so. Scarring is minimal, and though the patient might be limited to a liquid diet for the two or three days following surgery, recovery time is typically fast, and patients are back to their usual routines within a couple of days. Side effects, including the risk of infection or numbness in the area, are rare, making the benefits of cosmetic chin surgery far outweigh the risks.And the benefits are striking....

A small history page about Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is a branch of surgery that involves the repair or replacement of malformed, injured or lost members or tissues of the body. The plastic surgery has two more major branches: the reconstructive and the cosmetic surgery. These types of plastic surgery differ from one to another in one main way: the reconstructive surgery is made to help reconstruct an injured tissue or a birth defect while the cosmetic plastic surgery deals only with form or appearance.
I will now present a short history lesson about plastic surgery. Although plastic surgery goes far as Ancient Egypt, the first real plastic surgery doctors were two Sicilians: Gustav and Antonio Branka.
They were father and son and they have managed to put the first brick on the plastic surgery wall by making basic guidelines which plastic surgeons should follow when doing a reconstructive nose surgery. The first man to actually create a center for Plastic surgery was another Italian: Taliakosi....
