News for February 1st.

Many things are happening so far this month:

LATISSE was introduced by Allergan Corp. (think BotoxCosmetic and Juvaderm filler). Latisse is an FDA approved prescription for enhancing eyelashes. In their studies, after two months use, the majority of patients saw fuller, longer eyelashes. It is applied with sterile, single use brushes nightly. For additional information call our office 864-676-1707 or the website http://www.latisse.com/. We have been waiting for the release of this drug and will be one of the first medical practices in the Upstate offering it.

FINANCING. We now offer another option to allow patients to have the surgery procedures they desire. We participate with CareCredit, a division of GE Money Bank that specializes in health care financing (orthodontics, Lasix vision correction, etc.). Their website is http://www.carecredit.com/.

Our FACIAL ENHANCEMENT Seminar was very well attended. We offered plenty of information and special offers to all participants. Those that brought a friend got an extra treat. We'll have SKIN CARE, MINIMALLY-INVASIVE, and BREAST & BODY seminars soon. Call if you have questions 864-676-1707, or e-mail through our website http://www.expertplasticsurgeon.com/.

Breast Reconstruction: Brookwood Healthy Women's Confrence

The Aesthetic Center was one of the featured participants in the January 24th Brookwood Healthy Women's Conference at Brookwood Church in Simpsonville, SC.

Cathy Cole, RN, CPSN, our OR Director, and Betty Babb, our Patient Coordinator were present to discuss how we assist women following breast cancer surgery with various reconstruction methods. They provided advice and literature to interested participants. Hundreds of women attended the conference. We were pleased to be able to educate the community in this way.
