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.

“What Can I do to Eliminate Puffy Eyes, Bags under Eyes and Dark Circles?”

EYE TYTE, a revolutionary technique that is performed in seconds!

Our eyes are our most important facial feature! Unfortunately our eyes are the first area of the face to show signs of aging. Fine lines and crow’s feet can start to show in our late 20’s and early 30’s. Puffy eyes, bags under eyes and dark circles can also appear early. Aging changes in the skin cause the eyelid skin to lose elasticity and sag. As the eyelid begins to loosen, normal fat that lies beneath the eyeball pushes forward against the lower eyelid and creates a bulge or eye bag or puffy eye. A shadow forms beneath the protruding puffy eyelid and creates a dark circle beneath the lower eyelid.

Dr. Boss is one of the very few surgeons who perform the Eye Tyte technique developed by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Solomon from Philadelphia, PA. This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting a tiny laser cannula below the skin and into the bulging fat pads of the lower eyelid. This procedure is done under local anesthesia and done within seconds! The eyelid is tightened with a laser pass underneath the muscle which also just takes seconds, but takes years off your appearance!

“I’m afraid to go under general anesthesia; will I ever be able to have a face lift?”

With the “Cool Lift”, developed by Dr. William K Boss, founder of the NJ Cosmetic Surgery Center, you can simply undergo local anesthesia, and have your surgery completed in about an hour and a half!

Developing innovative procedures like the COOL LIFT™ has been a hallmark of Dr. Boss’s practice for more than two decades. He saw the public's demand for noninvasive or minimally invasive procedures and as a clinician, recognized that noninvasive procedures often mean no results. Developing a procedure that gives results that you can count on was the inspiration for the COOL LIFT™.

The COOL LIFT is a minimally invasive, laser facelift done under local anesthesia and utilizes 4 different standard techniques for skin tightening and rejuvenation. It takes approximately one hour to 90 minutes.
The COOL LIFT™   technique recontours and tightens the skin and reshapes the jowls by utilizing laser liposuction which is an exceedingly difficult area to treat with a standard facelift. The laser lipolysis in the jowls not only reshapes the area but as a result of the heat that is delivered to the undersurface of the skin helps tighten that skin in most patients for 4-9 months following the procedure. The laser liposuction technique is also used in the neck portions of the procedure. Laser liposuction is a standard procedure for liposuctioning of the abdomen, thighs and the back; and has been heralded by many plastic surgeons to have the advantage of creating better skin tightening than one would see with standard liposuction.
Dr. Boss elevates the deep tissues with suspension sutures. He then tightens the muscular layer and finally removes excess skin.

With this technique the skin requires a minimal elevation and can be done under local anesthesia. In addition, the Cool Lift technique does not interrupt the lymphatic channels so that there is less bruising and swelling which results in much more rapid recuperation.  Post-operative downtime is usually 5-7 days before one can return to their usual activities. Dr. Boss performs the COOL LIFT™ on patients from early forties to early seventies.

“I thought all Liposuction was the same, it’s all so confusing!”

“On the contrary”, comments Dr. William K. Boss, Founder of the NJ Cosmetic Surgery Center, “Cool Lipo is the clear cut choice for body contouring and sculpturing.”

The latest in fat dissolving Laser Liposuction is Cool Lipo®, a cutting edge, minimally invasive technology that liquefies fat for easy removal. This procedure has some similarities with other laser assisted liposuction treatments, like SlimLipo®and SmartLipo®, but uses a different wave length that is felt to be more appropriate for dissolving fat.

CoolLipo has a unique wave length that directly influences collagen contraction and skin tightening which has been demonstrated by the original cool laser therapy designed for external treatment of facial skin wrinkles affect that standard liposuction does not have.

CoolLipo®, is ideal for both men and women looking to remove excess fat in relatively small areas of the body, such as under the chin, neck and jowls. It can also be used in areas under the arms and around the abdomen, thighs, back while giving liposuction patients substantial results with as little downtime as possible.

Dr. Boss has now enhanced his technique with CoolLipo® to preform virtually all his liposuction under local and without general anesthesia.
