Moore and Miklos of Atlanta Urogynecology Associates Publish the 1st Article in Worldwide Literature on a New Generation Mesh Procedure for Pelvic Organ Prolapse</p><p>International Laparoscopic, Urogynecologic and Aesthetics Reconstructive Vaginal Surgeons, Dr. Moore and Dr. Miklos Continue to Break New Ground Within the Field of Urogynecology.</p><p
class="releaseDateline">Atlanta, Ga (PRWEB) November 06, 2011</p><p> Dr. Robert D. Moore and Dr. John R. Miklos, world leaders in the field of graft use in vaginal and pelvic reconstructive surgery, recently published in the International Urogynecology Journal, the first article in the worldwide literature regarding the use of the Anterior Elevate system which is known as a second-generation mesh procedure for pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition that affects women where the pelvic organs such as the bladder or uterus descends and causes symptoms such as pain, pressure, hernia type symptoms, urinary incontinence or other bowel and/or bladder symptoms. Per Dr. Moore and Miklos’ study, approximately 250,000 women a year have surgery for these problems. Mesh use in pelvic surgery has become more common secondary to the fact that using native tissue in the repair has a very high failure rate. Vaginal mesh use has shown in many surgical trials superior cure rates compared to native tissue repairs. Recently, however, mesh placed vaginally has been under scrutiny secondary to complications such as mesh extrusion through the vaginal wall, bladder injuries, and other problems being reported. The FDA released a safety notification regarding these reports of complications in July of 2011 and recently held hearings regarding the use of some of the mesh kits on the market and did call for more research to be completed on these type of procedures. Most of the complications reported to the FDA were in regards to &#8220;first generation&#8221; mesh kits that passed needles through the groins and/or buttock cheeks to fixate mesh arms to the pelvic floor muscles to help hold the graft in place.</p><p>The Anterior Elevate system is a second-generation vaginal mesh procedure that utilizes only a single vaginal incision to place the mesh under the bladder and also support the top of the vagina without having to pass needles blindly through the groins or the buttocks. It utilizes a new generation lighter weight mesh and very small self-fixating tips that hold the mesh graft in place. It was designed to address some of the complications that were being reported with the first generation procedures but also maintain the advantages of using a graft to help support the bladder and the vagina and obtain much higher cure rates compared to when the patients native tissue is used. Dr. Moore has been principal investigator on several multicenter trials evaluating the use of mesh in prolapse and incontinence in the past. In the current trial, Dr. Moore and Miklos report on 60 women that underwent the Anterior Elevate procedure that had an average follow-up of over one year, with some patients being more than 2 years out from surgery. The reported cure rate, as published in their article, was over 90%.  No patients required re-operation for pain, failure or mesh complications. With the newer lighter-weight mesh, no vaginal extrusions or erosions were reported.  Dr. Moore andDr. Miklosare also involved in 2 other ongoing prospective multi-center trials that will continue to follow patients and monitor them utilizing this procedure.</p><p>Dr. Miklos and Dr. Moore of Atlanta Urogynecology Associates, continue to share their experiences and knowledge with their peers, to ensure that the quality of patient care is not lost with the advancements in surgical techniques.  Their dedication to their patients is why they are known as Master Surgeons.  Drs. Miklos and Moore will be in Hollywood, Florida in November as invited faculty to lecture at the 40th Annual AAGL Global Congress on Minimally Invasive Gynecology.  They both will address at the Urogynecology postgraduate courses, as well as presenting 6 new scientific research studies.</p><p>Pub Med Abstract: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21866442</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medicalread.com/plastic-surgery/drs-moore-and-miklos-of-atlanta-urogynecology-associates-publish-the.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Luxury Real Estate Auction Breaks Record for Highest Sale</title><link>http://www.medicalread.com/plastic-surgery/luxury-real-estate-auction-breaks-record-for-highest-sale.html</link> <comments>http://www.medicalread.com/plastic-surgery/luxury-real-estate-auction-breaks-record-for-highest-sale.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:21:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medicalread Staff</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Plastic Surgery]]></category><guid

class="releaseDateline">Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) November 22, 2011</p><p> The use of auctions to buy and sell property is not a new idea, but it certainly is catching on in the luxury propertymarket—and Supreme Auctions leads the competition in capturing the lion’s share of that market. The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based firm has consistently created a buzz around luxury homes, condos, and property across the world, and they recently masterminded the sale of a one-of-a-kind luxury home for the highest price so far this year on one acre in Paradise Valley, Ariz.</p><p>What does it take to sell a luxury property in one of the most sought-after ZIP codes in the US? When working with sellers, Supreme Auctions creates a comprehensive marketing campaign to reach buyers looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind offering. For the October 20th sale of this home, Jennie Heal, vice president of marketing, developed a global marketing campaign that garnered more than 26 million impressions, 6,573 unique website visitors, and in excess of 12,000 page views. During the course of four weekends prior to the auction itself, 300 potential buyers viewed the property, and 11 were present on the big day, securing their spot at the auction with a $150,000 deposit. Bidders arrived from across the US, including California, New York, and New Mexico, as well as some Canadians from Calgary and Alberta.</p><p>After a rousing auction at the hands of the auctioneer, a couple who flew in from New Mexico by private jet secured the winning bid for $4.345 million. The transparency of the auction process appealed to the winning bidders because they were able to see the competition and could rest assured they would not be overpaying for the property. Previously, the buyers had made two offers on homes via traditional real estate methods but found that the process was not positive. Instead, the auction method was much more conducive to the buyers’ needs, as they could see other bidders’ offers, which revealed the true market value of the property on auction day.</p><p>In addition to an elated buyer, the seller also appreciated the smooth, fast process. <br
/>“To have more than 300 people view the property and 11 bidders on auction daywas very exciting to see. I had no intentions of ever selling this property traditionally and waiting two to three years to finally sell it. With property values still decreasing, carrying costs, the poor economy, and the mere aggravation of keeping my 10,000-square-foot house clean for showings…I am so glad Supreme Auctions was recommended to me. The team did a first-class job of marketing my estate. Having the property sell for the highest price on an acre all year was a bonus.”</p><p>Maverick Commins, principal at Supreme Auctions, echoed the sentiments of the seller: <br
/>“It was a pleasure working with such a wonderful and realistic seller. Having sold luxury properties both traditionally and at auction in more than 70 countries around the world, it is simply a much better way to sell for both the sellers and buyers. Our company is very selective about the properties we chose to sell. We have created our Accelerated Marketing Program over the last 15 years. There is no company in the US that has a platform like ours to sell luxury properties in this accelerated manner, many times, as with this property setting records for the highest sales. We are the Sotheby’s, Christies, and Barrett-Jackson of the real estate auctionbusiness.”</p><p>For more information about Supreme Auctions or buying or selling a luxury home at auction, visit Supreme-Auctions.comor call 866-929-2243.</p><p>About Supreme Auctions <br

class="releaseDateline">Shreveport, LA (PRWEB) June 22, 2011</p><p> Local residents of Shreveport and Bossier City, LA, spoke their minds again this year when they voted Dr. Simeon Wall, Jr. of The Wall Center their #1 choice in the &#8220;Best Cosmetic Surgeon&#8221; category of the Shreveport Times’ annual Readers’ Choice Awards. Members of the Wall family of three board-certified plastic surgeons have been Readers’ Choice winners for the past four years.</p><p>&#8220;I’m always thrilled to receive an award, but it’s especially significant to be recognized by my community,&#8221; says Simeon Wall, Jr., MD, FACS. &#8220;I’ve been blessed to work with a talented, caring staff and two of the best-trainedplastic surgeons in Louisiana: my father, Dr. Simeon Wall, Sr. and my wife, Dr. Holly Casey Wall. I want to say ‘Thank You’ to everyone who cast their votes; I’m deeply honored by this.”</p><p>The three board-certified Shreveport plastic surgeons at The Wall Center perform over 2,000 cosmetic surgery procedures annually in a unique 17,000 sq. ft. facility, one among few of its kind in the US.  “Patients are delighted that we created an entire aesthetic complex just for their needs,” says Wall. “Our patients benefit from the safety, discretion and state-of-the-art equipment in The Wall Center’s triple-certified surgery center.” Luxurious Guest Suites and the full-service Jade MediSpa add to a level of comfort that draws patients to Shreveport from all over the surrounding states.</p><p>Although this trio of board-certified plastic surgeons offers the usual cosmetic procedures, patients rave about their Rapid Recovery Breast Enhancements and Dr. Wall Jr’s SAFELipo™, which was developed to give consistent and dramatic body contouring results without the waviness or unnatural look often seen with all other forms of liposuction.  “Liposuction is the most popular procedure in America, but choosing the right technique and the right surgeon makes all the difference between a fantastic result and a disaster,” says Dr. Wall Jr. “We’ve all seen some awful liposuction results out there because, unfortunately, there are a lot of unqualified doctors using unproven and unsafe methods.  I created SAFELipo™ to give patients the most attractive, natural, and dramatic results with the least risk.”</p><p>The Wall Center for Plastic Surgery invites you to visit one of Shreveport&#8217;s &#8220;Best Cosmetic Surgeons.&#8221; To learn more, request a consultation online or call the office at (318) 795-0801.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medicalread.com/plastic-surgery/shreveport-la-plastic-surgeon-receives-readers%e2%80%99-choice-award.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Vein Center of Orange County (VCOC) in Irvine, California Proudly&#8230;</title><link>http://www.medicalread.com/plastic-surgery/the-vein-center-of-orange-county-vcoc-in-irvine-california-proudly.html</link> <comments>http://www.medicalread.com/plastic-surgery/the-vein-center-of-orange-county-vcoc-in-irvine-california-proudly.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:21:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medicalread Staff</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Plastic Surgery]]></category><guid

class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) January 05, 2012</p><p> On December 1, 2011, Jnell S. of Costa Mesa was randomly chosen from all entrants as the winner of a South Coast Plaza shopping spree. Following their treatment entrants were asked to share their experience at the center by completing a survey. However, the raffle was so popular that it will be repeated next spring.

A recent FDA study again finds silicone implants to be safe, allowing their popularity to soar further.</p><p
class="releaseDateline">New York, NY (PRWEB) October 18, 2011</p><p> The Food and Drug Administration has recently conducted a study on silicone breast implants. While all surgical procedures carry a slight risk of complications, the FDA has again concluded that silicone breast implants are safe. Breast augmentation patients may choose between silicone or saline breast implants based on personal preferences rather than health concerns.</p><p>In 1992, silicone breast implants were banned from use in the United States. Since their FDA approval in 2006, silicone breast implants have been the preferred choice amongst breast augmentation patients. This follow-up study reaffirms that silicone breast implants are safe.</p><p>Many women prefer silicone breast implants, as they provide the breasts with a more natural look and feel than saline implants. Regardless of implant type, breast augmentation patients enjoy long-lasting results. Thinner women especially benefit from silicone breast implants, as their natural breast tissue may not effectively cover the edges of saline implants.</p><p>Dr. Michael Fiorillo, a plastic surgeon in New York, has noticed the increasing popularity of silicone breast implants. “An overwhelming amount of my patients choose silicone breast implants for their procedure,” said Dr. Fiorillo. “Patients love the natural look and feel of silicone implants.”</p><p>The best implant type and size for each patient depends on her individual goals and body type. Breast augmentation surgery should only be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Fiorillo.</p><p>About Dr. Fiorillo <br
/>Dr. Fiorillo is a highly respected and well-known plastic surgeon in New York who frequently appears in the national media as an expert opinion in this popular field, including appearing as a breast specialist on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.</p><p>Board-certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Fiorillo graduated with his medical degree at the top of his class at Chicago Medical School, and completed residency training in general surgery at State Island University Hospital. He also completed a fellowship in plastic surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.</p><p>In 2004, Dr. Fiorillo opened an outpatient surgical facility where he performs most of his plastic surgery procedures, providing comfort and convenience for his patients.

He states that this new product offers an effective alternative to BOTOX&#174; Cosmetic in helping patients reduce fine lines and enhance the vibrancy and youth of their skin and does so at a more affordable price.</p><p
class="releaseDateline">Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) December 20, 2011</p><p> Dr. Steven Turkeltaub, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Phoenix, AZ, has announced that he will be offering XEOMIN&#174; as an option to BOTOX&#174; Cosmetic for the treatment of certain facial wrinkles.

Dr. Turkeltaub says that he is excited about the new product, which can serve as an effective and more affordable alternative for BOTOX in Phoenix. He also states that treatment with this product can offer patients a noticeable reduction of facial lines and creases translating into a softer, more rejuvenated and youthful appearance.</p><p>Dr. Turkeltaub says the benefits available to patients seeking wrinkle reduction from XEOMIN in Arizona are very similar to those associated with BOTOX&#174; Cosmetic, but with a more affordable price tag. XEOMIN&#174; also requires no freezing or refrigeration until opened which reduces costs as well as the risks for unintended or unidentified impairment of viability.</p><p>Dr. Turkeltaub is one of a very limited number of physicians in the Phoenix metropolitan area selected by Merz, the manufacturer of Xeomin&#174;, to offer this product at present. XEOMIN&#174; will officially be available nationwide to physicians in the spring of 2012.</p><p>Providing the latest advancements in plastic surgery in Arizona, Dr. Turkeltaub says he hopes that XEOMIN&#174; is just one of numerous additional innovations in cosmetic enhancements and facial rejuvenation that will ultimately become effective realities. As with any medical procedure, Dr. Turkeltaub also says he recommends consulting with an experienced and qualified board certified plastic surgeon before undergoing any treatment.</p><p>About Steven H.

Doctors at the Gunter Center for plastic surgery in Dallas say choosing the right practice for a facelift can ensure patients receive the highest quality results and the greatest level of satisfaction with their experience. Dr. Michael Bogdan and Dr. Jack Gunter discuss the most important characteristics to look for in a surgeon for facelift procedures and how to choose a practice based on experience, qualifications, and dedication to patient care.</p><p
class="releaseDateline">Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 20, 2011</p><p> As a plastic surgeon in Dallas, Dr. Michael Bogdan says selecting the right practice for a facelift procedure is essential for achieving the proper results. According to the latest statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), a facelift is the third most popular facial surgical procedure in 2010 (following eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty), with a 35% growth compared to 2009. Dr. Jack Gunter, founder and director of the Gunter Center in Dallas, says popularity of cosmetic enhancement is likely a result of its effectiveness in rejuvenating and invigorating skin and appearance. He adds that a successful facelift can restore the vitality of youth to patients’ facial expressions and highlight their inner beauty.</p><p>With a facelift procedure, Dr. Bogdan says the ultimate goal is to help patients feel and look younger while still looking like themselves. While there are many approaches to performing facelifts, he adds that for many patients, a traditional procedure is the best option. During a traditional facelift, incisions are created along the sides of the face for surgeons to remove loose skin and fat from the neck and facial areas. The skin and underlying muscles are then tightened. Because the procedure requires exact precision and intensive knowledge of facial structure, Dr. Bogdan says patients should take great care to find a surgeon who is up-to-date on the latest techniques and has a wealth of experience in performing facial plastic surgery. “Because of the complex anatomy and high visibility, facelifts and rhinoplasties are two of the most technically demanding operations performed in plastic surgery. When considering either of these procedures, patients should seek surgeons who have a strong knowledge base, excellent technical skills, and sound judgment.”</p><p>Regardless of whether patients are looking for a facelift or any other type of cosmetic enhancement such as breast augmentation, both Dr. Gunter and Dr. Bogdan say that consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial for a safe and effective procedure.

class="releaseDateline">Sydney, AU (PRWEB) October 05, 2011</p><p> Australia Plastic Surgery’s Lead Surgeon Dr. Laith Barnouti is urging practitioners to put more emphasis on achieving natural-looking results for plastic surgery patients, responding to an MSNBC report that indicated more doctors have taken on plastic surgery to get through stiff economic conditions.</p><p>The report cited a patient’s complaint about a botched surgical procedure in the hands of “an unskilled doctor” – a breast augmentation procedure that resulted in what professionals called a case of “symmastia,” which made the patient’s breasts look nothing like normal, natural breasts.</p><p>“This reaffirms my sentiment,” Dr. Barnouti says, adding that “the whole point to performing plastic surgery is to make our clients look normal and natural, like they never even had the surgeries done. The emphasis is on not making the breasts look augmented, but rather completely natural.”</p><p>Dr. Barnouti has handled over a thousand plastic surgery cases in his practice, all of them done so following the basic principle of recapturing the body’s natural, unaltered physical state, he said.</p><p>His advice to emerging plastic surgeons is for them to “take the time to find out what would best suit the patients’ physique, giving ample consideration to their health, lifestyle and all other equally important details that could affect the plastic surgery results in the long run.”</p><p>Dr. Barnouti also encourages everyone to stay in-the-know and to entrust their breast augmentation, rhinoplasty and other plastic surgery concerns only with professionals to get the job done right. Dr. Barnouti and his Australia Plastic Surgery team have vowed to maintain high quality standards through their emphasis on key treatment aspects involving pre-operative education, intra-operative technique, and post-operative comfort.</p><p>As one of Australia’s pre-eminent plastic surgery facilities, Australia Plastic Surgery focuses on quality advanced cosmetic plastic surgery. With the system it employs, each patient can expect to get a thorough workup and examination experience from both the team of experts themselves and their staff.</p><p>“We make sure that our patients are well informed and ready by walking them through each step of the process, even going as far as explaining the highly technical aspects of our advanced methods. Australia Plastic Surgery follows this approach not only because it helps in getting the job done,” Dr. Barnouti claims, “but mainly because it is the natural thing to do – to talk it out and sort things out – it’s pretty basic.”</p><p>About Australia Plastic Surgery <br

This understanding helps me connect with my patients on a deeper level, and therefore helps create beautiful surgical results.&#8221;</p><p>In addition to performing breast surgery, Dr. Miles performs body contouring and facial rejuvenation procedures for her Seattle and Alaska patients. Her comprehensive aesthetic menu enables her patients to benefit from a complete rejuvenation – body and face. By offering her patients different surgical and non-surgical options, she&#8217;s able to accommodate a variety of requests.</p><p>&#8220;I enjoy helping my patients achieve the look that they desire,&#8221; Dr. Miles adds. &#8220;One of my favorite aspects of being a plastic surgeon is the ability to transform a patient&#8217;s life, whether by performing a reconstructive procedure or a procedure that increases their self-esteem. I am thrilled to be offering my services to my Seattle and Alaska patients and expanding my practice.&#8221;</p><p>Dr. Wandra Miles (http://www.milesplasticsurgery.com) is a board-certified plastic surgeon serving reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery patients in Seattle, surrounding communities, and Alaska.

According to LasVegasRealEestate.org, the Las Vegas real estate market trends show homes at a 20 year low and in a &quot;Buyers Market&quot;.</p><p
class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) September 20, 2011</p><p> Las Vegas homes for sale take the lead as the best real estate market to invest in after four long years of negative numbers. Las Vegas is finding a &#8220;Dawning of a New Day&#8221; from Celion Dions come back at Caesars to global investor recognition. LasVegasRealEstate.org confirms Trulia research that it is be better to buy a home in Las Vegas than to rent. Local agent sees increased investor interest to buy multiple properties for immediate cash flow.</p><p>Ashley McCormick of Realty One, Nevada&#8217; number one real estate company says the two primary reasons for the increased interest in Las Vegas homes is that the cost to be a homeowner in Vegas has become very low and the rental rates are allowing for possible 10% monthly returns. It&#8217;s not just Las Vegas real estate that may be turning the corner, but the overall Vegas tourism economy.</p><p>According to the annual tourism report the average Las Vegas tourist spent more and stayed longer in 2010 compared to a year earlier, a positive sign for the city&#8217;s tourism industry. Visitors stayed an average of 3.6 nights and 4.6 days, both of which are up to include luxury Las Vegas high rise condos for sale. With the average cost of a vacation package in 2010 at $651 and holding thru 2011, Vegas may be the best deal for travel and entertainment.</p><p>Las Vegas currently offers world class performances from Celine Dion, Barry Manilow, Donny/Marie, and Elton John. Dion has sold out more than 700 consecutive performances, smashing local records for total audience and more revenue than the Rat Pack, Liberace, and Elvis combined. It&#8217;s this strength in talent that is reflective in the current tenacity of the Las Vegas real estate market.</p><p>McCormick who has been a Las Vegas real estate agent for over a decade says it is a buyers  and investors market. Her opinion is backed by similar comments from releases by CNNMoney, MarketWatch and Inman News. Prospective home buyers or investors can request more information by phone at 1-888-920-2292.
