Beautician Poses As A Cosmetic Surgeon

The National Bureau of Investigation has filed charges against a beautician allegedly responsible for a botched cosmetic operation on a man who suffered infection reportedly from silicone injections.

Now this occurred in the Philippines but do not think that it cannot happen here in the United States. I am amazed daily when I meet clients who have gone elsewhere and come to me with complaints. Some have gone to a well known cosmetic surgeon's office only to have injections performed by someone else. Who? The client has no idea nor do they ask! Others have gone into an office where they never meet the doctor or the doctor's specialty has nothing to do with cosmetic work. So can this occur in the United States? You bet! Before you have that procedure ask: Who are you and what are your qualifications to perform this procedure?

Wrinkle-rexia Story about Botox Overusage is Rediculous

A medical group out of UK has created a non-story about Botox. Any procedure can have its devotees and its abusers. The same is true for Botox. Cosmetic Botox is safe for the reduction of facial wrinkles. People can become obsessed with any procedure. It is up to the cosmetic or plastic surgeon to educate the patient on the proper treatment. At Accents Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa in Sterling Heights , Michigan, I (Mark N Berkowitz, MD) meet with each individual client to discuss their needs and direct them to the proper procedure. Medical spas and surgeons' offices are not cookie cutter places. The physician should be able to individualize each client's treatment. This means at times directed patients away from treatments that will not give them benefit.

Detroit Cosmetic Surgeon Questions Senator Biden's Botox Usage


Anyone who watched the Vice Presidential Debate cannot deny that Senator Biden's middle forehead had minimal movement. This can be accomplished through Allergan's Botox Cosmetic as well as some other surgical and non- surgical procedures. Senator Biden did have movement of his crow's feet which is another popular place for placement of Botulinum toxin. If he did have the injection he may have chose the glabellar lines ( 11 lines between the brow) so it did not appear as if he was angry or questioning Govenor Sarah Palin.

Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein thati is used too temporally relax muscles. It only takes 5 minutes for this minimally invasive procedure that can make you look younger and refreshed. During these tough economic times it is a small investment that can bring you month's of happiness!
