A Unique and Highly Successful Approach to Acne Therapy

As a board certified reconstructive and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Boss focuses his efforts in treating acne scars with a very unique and individualized approach that yields excellent results in his patients. Dr. Boss works closely with many dermatologists in different geographical regions, so the treatment is an available option for many prospective patients.

 At the first visit, Dr, Boss needs to determine if the patient is a good candidate for reconstruction. The most important determinant is if the active acne has been under control for the past 6-12 months.  There is no point to treat scarring in patients with active acne because new scars will continually form and the patient will have wasted time, effort, and money.

 The treatment begins with a careful medical history and examination to determine the most effective and least invasive procedures possible.  As a plastic surgeon Dr. Boss can employ the largest variety of techniques possible to treat the scarring. For example, ice pick, deep contracted scars require excision and as a micro surgeon Dr. Boss uses magnification to excise the scars and build up the skin layers to minimize the scar.

Other scars require subcision followed by fractionated lasers or simply lasers alone.  There are also lasers that can treat discolorations and tiny blood vessels around the scars.

In some cases Dr. Boss will utilize long acting fillers when indicated, such as Restalyne, Perlane, Juvaderm, Sculptra and Radiesse.  There is also a new and exciting development in cell therapy that is currently undergoing FDA trials for treatment of acne scars and was recently approved by the FDA for correction of smile lines.  This treatment was invented by Dr. Boss and involves growing the patient’s own collagen producing skin cells known as fibroblasts in a certified laboratory. These cells are then re-injected into the dermis of the skin to help correct the problem.

Often times, the skin that has been ravaged by acne is loose and the face has lost volume; that is when more invasive treatments such as stem cell fat transfers and mini facelifts might be helpful. Fortunately there are many treatment options that are available and can produce tremendous results. However, it is important for the patient to make an appointment for a consult and go over the options with the doctor to determine which treatment is best for the individual.

Buy 2 areas of Dysport and get the 3^rd FREE!*

With so many options on the market for injectable facial fillers how do you determine what to ask for to treat your problem areas?

The answer to that question is rather simple. It really depends on what bothers you and where your treatment areas are.  Once we establish the results you are looking for we can determine if fillers are appropriate and which to use. One thing is for certain, and that is, the goal for any facial rejuvenation treatment should appear completely natural and give you a more youthful and refreshed look.

Restylane is a safe, non-surgical way to enhance your appearance and give you a completely natural look with minimal downtime. It will reduce line, fold and wrinkles, create fuller lips, enhance contours and facial volume, as well as improve skin structure and elasticity. The Restylane family of products is scientifically proven to give natural long lasting results that you will see immediately.

Perlane is a sister product to Restylane.  Perlane is designed for more pronounced facial folds and wrinkles such as those on the sides of the mouth. Both Perlane and Restylane are composed of hyaluronic acid. The primary difference between Restylane and Perlane is that the hyaluronic acid gel particles in Perlane are larger than those found in Restylane. This gives Perlane additional ability to lift and fill the areas of injection that require a denser formulation. Perlane and Restylane are perfect complements to one another.
Dysport is not considered a facial filler, rather it is a wrinkle relaxer. It is an injectable treatment for wrinkles and is made from the same neurotoxin (botulinum toxin type A) as Botox. Disport is injected directly into the muscles that cause the facial wrinkles and temporarily immobilizes them, preventing wrinkles to occur. The results take anywhere from 1-7 days to appear and effects can last anywhere from four months to a year in some cases. As with all treatments, everyone’s results are individual.
Call today to book your appointment with Dr. Bill Boss and he will help you determine which filler is best suited for your individual needs.

*Offer valid through February 14th, 2012. This offer is valid for treatment with Restylane, Perlane or Dysport. If you’re not ready for a treatment at this time, just call the office to purchase this offer and they will hold it for you until you are ready to come in for an appointment or for your next treatment cycle.

Allure Magazine selects Laviv injectable filler for their “2011 Best of Beauty Products” list!!!

LAVIV™, a patented technique developed by Dr. Boss in 1995 is now FDA approved and available for treatment of nasolabial folds (laugh lines). This revolutionary treatment utilizes the patient’s own fibroblasts, which are the cells in your body that make collagen.  Dr. Boss injects these cells into the treatment area to repair and rejuvenate the skin.  Fibrocell is engaged in trials for acne scars and fine lines.

LAVIV™ is the first and only FDA-approved personalized cell therapy created to improve prominent smile lines. The product is so effective that Allure Magazine selected it as one of Allure’s Best of Beauty Products for 2011. LAVIV™ is made up of special cells called fibroblasts, which are isolated and grown from your own skin cells. It’s composed of at least 98% pure fibroblasts placed in a mixture of water, sugars, vitamins, amino acids and salts which contains no fillers.

LAVIV™ is usually administered in three separate treatments which are spaced at intervals of 3-6 weeks. Clinical trial results were submitted to the FDA after 6 months, so the approval is for a six month duration, however, Dr. Boss and many of his colleagues have had early trial patients that have maintained results lasting 4-15 years.

It’s a simple procedure and similar to other filler treatments, it’s injected directly into the smile lines using a small needle and is done in the office.  LAVIV™ is currently available only through board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons that have completed a Fibrocell-approved training program and as the founding father and developer of Fibrocell, Dr. Boss teaches qualified plastic surgeons how to administer LAVIV™. Due to the personalized nature of LAVIV™, the focus is on providing quality service but as capacity increases, it will be offered to more trained physicians.

LAVIV™ also poses an interesting possibility of being combined with laser procedure since lasers target and stimulate the same cells (fibrocells) that are the LAVIV™ product.

Male Cosmetic Procedures, Reaching 1.1 Million Last Year!

Even in the midst of a slow economy, the male plastic surgery industry continues to expand.  As baby boomers and those generations right behind them continue to age, social conventions over male cosmetic procedures are rapidly changing.  Whether it is concern over appearing young in the workplace or just the age old desire to look good, men are increasingly opting for appearance enhancing procedures.

Statistics bear this out. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports that in 2010, men underwent 1.1 million procedures.  That overall number was up 2% over 2009.  Within that, facelifts saw significant growth, up 14%, and liposuctions grew 7%.  Also, among the top ten procedures, the majority are surgical, which bucks the previous trend of non-invasive procedures being paramount.  And surgeons reporting into the survey are finding that more and more “regular” people (as opposed to celebrities and the wealthy) are opting for cosmetic enhancements. William K. Boss MD PA FACS, explains this rapidly growing trend quoting a recent ASPS report that states: “The typical male cosmetic surgery patient is an average guy who wants to look as good as he feels. Most of these patients are ‘men's men,' the kind of guy you might not think would have plastic surgery." Dr. Boss would agree with this patient profile, as reflected by the number of procedures he performs at his practice; The New Jersey Cosmetic Surgery Center in Hackensack, NJ.,

With the increasing acceptance of male plastic surgery, the industry is expected to grow, and that growth should accelerate as the economy continues to recover.  It seems that the stigma once attached to such actions is rapidly fading away.  The increasing acceptance of terms like “metrosexual” by men and the success of television shows like “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” shows us  something that women have known all along but that men have been afraid to admit: guys are just as concerned about how they look as gals.

Men prefer procedures that produce rapid recuperation and refresh their looks rather than getting too extensive. Their favorite procedures in my practice are liposuction of abdomen, flanks and back,  They also like to improve their necks and eyelids

You longer have to determine the size of your breast implants prior to surgery, when Adjustable Implants are now an option.

For many women, the post-operative size, shape, or contour of their breasts may not fit their self-image or their expectation. The number one complaint from patients who have had breast augmentation surgery is that they wish their size was a little larger.

According to Dr. William K. Boss, Founder of the NJ Cosmetic Surgery Center, post operative adjustable implants offer the breast augmentation patient numerous benefits including:

•Less anxiety  to determine size and shape of implant prior to the breast augmentation procedure

•Greater control over size of implants and results of surgery

•Enhanced ability to achieve symmetry

•Less risk of implant wrinkling

The surgical procedure used for post operative adjustable implants is similar to other breast augmentation techniques. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under a general anesthetic or local anesthesia plus a sedative. Post operative adjustable implants may be placed under the breast tissue or muscle and inserted through an incision in the breast fold, areola or armpit.

What makes this procedure different from other breast augmentation techniques is that the surgeon will also implant a tube and an injection dome under the skin. This will allow the doctor to add or remove saline through a syringe after surgery to increase or decrease breast volume or to alter breast shape. Adjusting is done at a routine office visit and involves a tiny needle that’s smaller than what you use for a blood test.

Cosmetic breast surgery with adjustable breast implants have a remarkably simple design that enables Dr. Boss to elevate and reshape the breast to provide a youthful, natural appearance and be able to make postoperative adjustments for up to 6 months after your surgery.

“Will I ever get my pre-pregnancy body? Sound familiar?

Dr. William K. Boss, Founder of the New Jersey Cosmetic Surgery Center explains how a “mommy makeover” may be just what you are looking for…

Having a new baby is a wonderful experience and most women enjoy being pregnant and are happy to become mothers, but for some, the physical changes can take away some of the joy. If you feel this way, you're not alone. Fortunately, you don't simply have to "learn to love" your post-partum figure as women of earlier generations were told. Today, there are exciting options in plastic surgery to help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure - or even improve on it!

Your body undergoes significant changes during and after pregnancy. With proper nutrition, exercise and the help of time your body will return to a more normal state, probably within a year. However, even getting down to your pre-pregnancy weight may not yield the results you were hoping for. Many Moms complain about stretch marks, excess skin, stubborn fat in certain trouble spots and sagging breasts. But, there are ways to counteract these changes with cosmetic surgery, many of which can be done on an outpatient basis so you can return home and be back with your family that same day!

You give so much of yourself and your resources to your children, and never think twice about it, but sometimes, in the midst of motherhood your own well being gets a little lost. Why not take great care of yourself and raise your children too? Becoming a mother doesn’t mean you can’t look as good as or better than before your pregnancy and that is the philosophy behind Dr. Boss’s Body after Baby program.
