Restylane and laser for under eye bags

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Many patients ask about what can be done for the bags and wrinkles underneath their eyes. Luckily these days we have procedures which are minimally invasive that can make a significant difference. Last night I had the opportunity to attend a local dermatology meeting where colleagues could discuss their experiences with lasers and fillers for this problem. It is amazing how much we can do without any cutting these days and how little needs to be done.

New tips on Botox, Restylane, Juvederm

Also, it was fun to see my friends, my parents and see Dr. Bennett get “roasted” as he was inducted as President of the ASDS this year. I was an indirect target of these roasts, but luckily nothing negative (I’ll take people calling me “young and hot” any day). Our musically talented colleagues were really entertaining, such as Tom Rohrer, MD from Boston who did a mean spoof rendition of Cake’s “Short Skirt, Long Jacket” and the

Party like a rock star

Plain White T’s “Hey There Delilah” and  Tim Flynn, MD from NC who could be a Vegas impersonator of Rick James or Jim Belushi if Obamacare does us in.

My girls behaved well on the plane, thank god. These girls are spoiled. All they know are hotel suites so far. Little do they know that dad likes the Red Roof Inn. Mom begs him to upgrade to Hampton Inn to no avail.
