Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery is Ahead of the Eyelash Curve.

You GROW Girl!!!

Bay Harbor Islands, Fl. (March 30, 2009). If eyes are the windows to the soul then eyelashes are the all important window treatments. Most women, however, aren’t blessed with long, dark and thick lashes to fringe their windows. They have to fuss each morning with a variety of mascara products that promise luxurious longer lashes but unfortunately never deliver. This common problem can now be a thing of the past thanks to a new breakthrough product created by Allergan, the geniuses behind age defying BOTOX™ and Juvederm™. LATISSE™ is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for deficient eyelashes. It actually helps to grow longer, darker, and fuller lashes. Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates will be among the first practices in South Florida to be offering this product to their patients.

LATISSE™ is easy to use, FDA approved and effective. It’s a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes. Patients in a clinical trial saw significant results over time (starting at about 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks). “This is an amazing product that we are very excited to offer to our patients who have often complained that there was no real treatment for their deficient eyelashes,” says Dr. Michael Salzhauer, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon at Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates. Stay ahead of the eyelash curve; call 305-861-8266 to make your appointment for the latest in eyelash technology.

Local Surgeon Upgrades to High Definition Breast Augmentation

Bal Harbour, Fl. We have all heard the hype about high definition TV and radio. Well, Dr. Michael Salzhauer of Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates has just added breast augmentation to the list of technological breakthroughs. How do you get high definition breasts? The trademarked technique involves the use of ultrasonic “Genius Liposuction” to contour and shape the breasts after augmentation. Remarkably, over 350,000 women undergo breast augmentation annually. While standard breast augmentation can increase the size of a woman’s breasts, it does little to improve the shape and definition of the patient’s bust. This new and improved procedure is designed to accomplish both of these goals.

Does this high definition breast augmentation also have a high price? Not really, it typically runs some where between $5000 and $6000, not much more than a traditional breast augmentation. With very little down time, Dr Salzhauer believes that this new technique is the wave of the future for plastic surgery. In fact, he recently broadened the high definition option to include other cosmetic procedures such as the neck lift and the Brazilian butt lift, again using ultrasonic liposuction to better contour the shape of the neck and buttocks. “Of course any augmentation or lift will dramatically change one’s appearance, but upgrading to high definition will make the results more sleek and natural looking,” says Dr Salzhauer.

Well, HD TV and radio may have had to postpone their launch dates, but not HD plastic surgery. The procedures described above are available right now at Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates located at 1140 Kane Concourse.

We want to take a moment to thank all 300+ patients and guests that came to show their support to Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates on January 29,2009. Our Plastic Surgery Fashion Show was such a hit, we will be carrying on this tradition annually, so if you missed it, be sure to attend next year.

We had professional models mingling in the crowd modeling Jackie Abraham Fine and Estate Jewelry, the clothes featured in the fashion show were by local fashion designer Viviana G. Her line of clothing truly proved that your body and confidence makes the fashion. Our celebrity guest list consisted of Miami Dolphins, OJ McDuffie, Terry Kirby, Mike Williams and we had a special performance by the winner of Russians version of American Idol, Victoria Dayneko.

Ahead In The Beauty Game?

Dysport Takes the Lead in the War on Wrinkles.

Bal Harbour, Fl. Finally!  A solution for the hefty price tag on beauty.  Dysport (FDA approved), the latest breakthrough drug will give you the same results as Botox, but it’s to be a cheaper, longer lasting way to get rid of those wrinkles, crows feet and deep borrows we once thought we were stuck with.  Medicis, the maker of Dysport, is the leading independent specialty pharmaceutical company in the United States focusing primarily on the treatment of dermatological and aesthetic conditions. Dysport has been marketed for several years in Europe and South America, and has finally made its way to the States.

What’s the main difference between Botox and Dysport? The difference, is that Dysport will act in one to two days instead of the three to five days Botox needs to kick in. Clinical trials suggest injections may be effective for up to five or six months, as opposed to about three months for Botox.

Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery will be carrying Dysport this month, make sure you book your appointment.  In this economy, a longer lasting, less expensive way to look your best is ideal. Dr. Salzhauer is looking forward to providing his patients with options and lower price points.  The bottom line is that Dysport will be priced lower than Botox, last longer, and the results will be visible sooner…Stick that in your syringe and inject it!

Please call 305-861-8266 for additional information.

Bay Harbor Islands, Fl.  “I’m Broke, I don’t have any money, It’s a recession…”  We are all aware of what is going on in the economy.  Times are a bit harder than before, we’re all trying to cut corners and save money.  Cutting coupons, shopping at sales, going to such extremes as waiting until black Friday to make your big purchases, but discount breast? We hear advertisements on radio and Television for cheap breast augmentations, Brazilian Butt Lifts, Liposuction and Tummy Tucks.  We get excited by the fact that we can save a few hundred, maybe a thousand dollars on your surgery.  Buyer beware, you get what you pay for.

As plastic surgery has become increasingly common in America – some 17 million procedures were performed in 2008 – so has the consumer backlash.

Thousands of patients find themselves so displeased with the results of their surgeries purchased at a low price, that they are willing to pay double to undo what they had done.  This is becoming more common at Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates, as we are seeing more patients desperate to be “fixed” by other centers ‘cheap’ surgeries.  The demand for such revisions is so high that some doctors now promote themselves as “revision plastic surgeons” and devote up to 50 percent of their practices to such cases. These surgeries have earned their own nickname in the trendy nip-tuck world: undo-plasties.  What the consumer doesn’t realize is that when you go to these ‘centers’, it’s like going to a school where the surgeons are literally practicing on their patients.  The doctors are consistently changing, and rarely board certified.

The difference between these centers (chop chops) and a private practice like Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates is the revolving door type business policy, the idea that quantity is more important than patient care.  BHPSA is operated by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer, who has over 12 years experience in helping his patients achieve beautiful and natural looking results.  Our prices are competitive with industry standards, and our results far exceed the competition.  Our number one goal is to promote the life-long health and happiness of our patients.  Don’t be fooled by cheap prices, because if you are, you’ll end up paying double.  Do it right the first time, without the revision surgery, at Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates.

Bal Harbour, Florida. Local Surgeon, Dr. Michael Salzhauer has earned the right to claim the title, expert Plastic Surgeon.  Not only is Dr. Salzhauer the ONLY Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Bal Harbour, he is also the only Plastic Surgeon to consistently keep up with the latest trends and technologies by re inventing his own breakthrough procedures and methods.

Dr. Salzhauer has a laundry list of accomplishments.  The latest and greatest is his breakthrough idea of Hi Definition Breast Augmentation.  Why not?  We have HD radio to hear our favorite songs clearer, we wouldn’t dare purchase a non HD TV to view our favorite TV programs, it’s just non-compatible.  Well, Dr. Michael Salzhauer of Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates has just added breast augmentation to the list of technological breakthroughs. How do you get high definition breasts? The trademarked technique involves the use of ultrasonic “Genius Liposuction” to contour and shape the breasts after augmentation.

He has had such success with his Hi Def Breast Augmentation Procedure, that he recently broadened the high definition option to include other cosmetic procedures such as the neck lift and the Brazilian Butt Lift, again using ultrasonic liposuction to better contour the shape of the neck and buttocks. “Of course any augmentation or lift will dramatically change one’s appearance, but upgrading to high definition will make the results more sleek and natural looking,” says Dr Salzhauer.

Another breakthrough is his method of Genius Liposuction.  Why would you get Smart Liposuction, if you could accomplish Genius Liposuction?  This is a new and improved procedure that is designed to best eliminate stubborn fatty deposits in problem areas.  It has the edge over other standard liposuction procedures due to a powerful device that eliminates larger amounts of unwanted pockets of fat.  As a result, patients experience less surgery and recovery time.  “Genius Liposuction is an enormous advancement in the medical world.  The procedure is based on three key innovations: reduced scar size, greater amount of fat elimination and better results,” says Board Certified Miami Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer
