WILLIAM K. BOSS, MD, FACS

For over two decades, Dr. William K. Boss, MD, FACS has been an innovator, not a follower. A recipient of (201) Health magazine's Bergen’s Top Doctors Award for 2012, the world-renowned plastic surgeon has remained at the forefront of laser and minimally invasive research, conceiving the new and enhanced technique, the patent pending procedure Cool Lift.
Equally monumental was the FDA’s recent approval of Dr. Boss’ LAVIV, a soft-tissue stimulator made specifically from each individual patient’s own skin. LAVIV, a result of Dr. Boss’ cellular therapy research, stimulates the body’s own collagen to soften smile lines. LAVIV also offers promise to remedy acne and burn scars, and it might also be used to retexturize the skin, shrink pores and revitalize the décolletage and the backs of hands.

Dr. Boss is the former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center and he extends the same meticulous attention to detail and quest for perfection daily in meeting the needs of his patients. Extremely popular is his trademark Cool Lift, a minimally invasive laser facelift done under local anesthesia. The procedure employs four standard techniques for skin tightening and rejuvenation and takes approximately one hour, or 90 minutes with the inclusion of the neck.

An assistant clinical professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Dr. Boss also specializes in Cool Lipo, a laser-assisted liposuction which vastly surpasses traditional forms of liposuction by accelerating and improving recovery. Low-level laser-assisted liposuction assures maximum patient comfort and results that are both dramatic and permanent. Dr. Boss is fully versed in all aspects of cosmetic and plastic surgery, such as breast augmentation, adjustable implants, and breast reduction and lift, and he also performs body contouring procedures like mini tummy tucks and thigh lifts.

Depending on the desired goal, a combination of plastic surgery procedures can be conducted simultaneously in Dr. Boss’s fully accredited, unparalleled, state-of-the-art Bergen County facility, which is equipped with the latest biomedical technology and specialized equipment. For example, post pregnancy mothers might opt for a “Mommy Makeover” – a combination tummy tuck and breast lift.

The Cosmetic Surgery and Rejuvenation Center also administers such non-invasive procedures as Botox®, Restylane® and other injectables. Cited as one of America’s Top Surgeons by such prestigious authorities as the Consumer’s Research Council of America and the Guide to America’s Top Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Boss has been widely published in medical trade journals. He maintains memberships with various medical societies like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Congratulations to Dr. Boss, recipient of the "doctors choice" award!

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.

LAVIV, The First Cellular Treatment for Facial Rejuvenation

A Valentine’s Day offer from Dr. Bill Boss!

Buy 2 Restylane or 2 Perlane and get 1 FREE!*

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.
