The local newspaper (The Greenville News, www.greenvilleonline.com) recently ran a McClatchy News Service article with the title, "Demand grows for low-cost cosmetic procedures." It is a well written article that refers to statistics from the American Society of Aesthetic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Graham is a member of both organizations. www.PlasticSurgery.org and www.Surgery.org. It also quotes non-surgeons and dermatologists.
One major point is that patients are seeking more temporary "quick fixes" now.
We are proud that we offer our patients both injectable and/or laser solutions and definitive surgical rejuvenation. We suggest patients tell us the results the seek and the available down-time, and we will offer options that are suitable for them.
Ranges of options for face, breast & body are not new for The Aesthetic Center. Dr. Graham has extensive training and experience. In addition, his staff includes a post-graduate nurse practitioner with special experience and laser and injectables, and two Skin Care Specialists for non-invasive skin treatment. We treat a broad range of issues from blotchy pigment, fine lines and expression lines to gravity lines. We have professional product lines, unavailable in department stores, spas or salons.

Safe, Experienced Injectables (Juvaderm,Restylane,Botox,etc.)
We want patients to have a great experience, whether they need standard facial rejuvenation surgery, some type of mini-lift, or enhancement with injectables such as Juvaderm, Restylane or Botox.
We recommend you do your homework. Ask about certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Otolaryngology (with Certificate of Added Qualifications in Facial Cosmetic Surgery) for surgical procedures. Ophthalmologists should also be experienced around the eye area.
Recently, doctors from all unrelated specialties have been attracted to cosmetic surgery (ie. Emergency Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, etc.). When you find a "Medical Spa" or "Cosmetic Medicine" practice, inquire about the board certification and experience of the physician. If other personnel will be performing your injections (nurse[RN], nurse practitioner [NP-C], esthetician [non-medical] or technician [un-licensed]) you need to know even more.
Dr. Graham and Janice Sarrer NP-C have excellent background and specific additional injectable training.
The Physicians Coalition for Injectable Safety was set up by reputable organizations to promote public safety. See their site at http://www.injectablesafety.org/. They have videos and quality information. There is additional info on our site http://www.expertplasticsurgeon.com/html/injectables.html

Evolence - New Injectable Filler Material
Johnson & Johnson has just obtained FDA approval to market Evolence, an injectable collagen used to treat facial wrinkles.
This will be interesting for several reasons. First, J&J is the first large pharmaceutical corporation to enter a market populated by smaller specialty companies like Allergan (Juvaderm) and Medicis (Restylane & Perlane). Their marketing will, no doubt, be superb. Second, the new product is made of porcine collagen derived from pig tendon. J&J emphasizes the source as "naturally sourced", rather than synthetic like established fillers. Finally, bovine (cow) collagen has been declining in popularity for 10-15 years. It was the first available filler, but fell out of favor because of rapid disappearance and the need for skin allergy tests.
Evolence has been used in Canada and some European countries, but there is little US experience. We will evaluate its risks and benefits over time before incorporating it into our selection of products.
