The Connecticut Society of Plastic Surgeons is working with the Dept. of Revenue Services to have the tax repealed in Connecticut. Write to your legislators to try to get the tax repealed.

Allure magazine article about true down time from laser and other aesthetic procedures. To try to standardize and help consumers about true down time from the different types of lasers and procedures out there on the market. I recommend patients spend time on line, talking to friends who have had the different procedures, and plastic surgeons who they know and respect to differentiate the different laser procedures on the market today.

All lasers are not the same. They do not get the same results. They do not have the same down time. They do not have the same potential side effects. Do research, make sure the doctor has used lasers for a considerable amount of time and is experienced with laser technology.

A member of the American Society for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery, and experienced with lasers, the office can answer your questions and guide you to an informed decision. We have been doing that for over 24 years for our patients all over Fairfield County and Connecticut.
Call the office at 203-899-0000 for an appointment. Dr. Rick Rosen.

2009-05-21T16:42:00.001-04:00

Choosing a cosmetic surgeon is a decision that is not to be taken lightly. Cosmetic surgery involves serious medical procedures, and you want to know that you are in safe hands. Choose a surgeon with the proper certifications, experience and training who keeps up with the latest trends in the field.

He uses his artistic eye and his understanding of proportion and balance to create meaningful surgical outcomes for his patients. He has over 20 years of experience practicing plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Credible surgeons participate in boards and organizations of note. Dr. Rosen is a Diplomate of both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, and is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

What Parts of the Face Can be Corrected by Which Injectables?

2009-04-29T11:51:00.001-04:00

Dr. Rosen offers a variety of injectables in his Norwalk, Connecticut office. All of these are the latest, long-lasting options that deliver satisfying enhancements with little to no recovery time and minimal discomfort.

Dr. Rosen's Four Options

The four options Dr. Rosen provides are Radiesse, Botox, JUVEDERM, and Restylane. All can treat facial wrinkles effectively, but some are better used on specific facial areas.

What Makes These Options Unique
Radiesse can fill facial folds and lines and it has the added potential to sculpt facial features by creating more dramatic cheekbones. Botox is relaxes muscles that produce wrinkles, especially lines around the eyes, such as crow's feet, frown lines, laugh lines, and forehead wrinkles. JUVEDERM’s two formulas, one lighter and one denser, give it the flexibility to treat both deep facial folds and moderate facial lines. It also can be used to enhance lips. Finally, Restylane is a long-lasting facial filler for facial lines and wrinkles.

None of these injectables carry the allergy risk of the older filler, collagen.

If you are interested in looking into the variety of improved facial fillers and injectables available today, please email our cosmetic surgery office or call 203-899-0000 to schedule a consultation.

Juvederm: A Flexible and Long-Lasting Dermal Filler

2009-03-25T15:57:00.001-04:00

JUVEDERM is a great advancement in the quest for dermal fillers that are long-lasting and flexible enough to treat a variety of areas. This filler is available in two formulas at Dr. Rosen's office:

Juvederm Ultra, a light material to be employed for mild lines or depressions and to augment lips; and
Juvederm Ultra Plus, a more substantial material that works well for more pronounced grooves. It also restores facial fullness lost with aging, especially in the midface region.

JUVEDERM is a filler derived from hyaluronic acid. The rejuvenating feature of hyaluronic acid is that it attracts and holds water. That makes JUVEDERM effective for facial wrinkles and folds. Since hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the human body, no allergy testing is needed before the injections are performed. The filler should maintain its look for six to nine months, based on the individual patient and how mobile each treated area is.

Dr. Rosen recommends that his patients try to avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other NSAIDs before or after the injection, as long as these medications are not essential to daily health. Staying away from these drugs can help decrease bruising at the site of the JUVADERM injections.

Restylane and Low Risk of Allergic Reaction

2009-02-19T18:45:00.000-05:00

Many people enjoy the quick beauty lift and non-invasive quality that cosmetic fillers offer. In the past, collagen was the primary filler available, and worries existed regarding allergic reactions that could develop even after the collagen had been in for a while. Today’s fillers virtually eliminate these worries.

A Naturally-Occurring Substance
Restylane is a cosmetic filler that is based on hyaluronic acid. It is FDA-approved for treating the lines and folds that develop on the aging face. The substance has qualities that make it last a long time, and it is technically classified as a NASHA (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) gel. It can also be used to augment the lips. Perlane is a similar filler that is thicker to give better results in correcting deep wrinkles.

Low Allergy Risk
The hyaluronic acid used for facial rejuvenation is almost exactly the same as the hyaluronic acid found naturally in the body. This takes away virtually any risk of the patient having an allergic reaction, and eliminates the need for the pre-treatment skin test required of collagen users. Already, over 1.5 million Restylane treatments have been performed nationally. Dr. Rosen provides Restylane and other fillers in his Norwalk, Connecticut office.

The rapid, low-pain quality of the injections and the immediate results make Restylane attractive to many patients. Once placed, Restylane works together with your body’s own hyaluronic acid to create a more youthful appearance. Typical results will last four to eight months.

If you are interested in exploring what Restylane can do to enhance your appearance, please email our cosmetic surgery office or call us at 203-899-0000 to schedule a consultation.

Cheekbone Sculpting with Radiesse

2009-01-31T15:58:00.002-05:00

One of the newest fillers available today is the long-lasting Radiesse. A trend of late has been to use this filler to create higher, more dramatic cheekbones. While the trend began with models and celebrities, many are starting to take advantage of the positive impact that sculpted cheekbones can have on their appearance. And since Radiesse is an injectable, the recovery period is short and discomfort is minimal.

When Dr. Rosen accentuates cheekbones with Radiesse, other parts of the face naturally appear more lifted, especially the middle area. Wrinkles on the face's lower section appear softened. Sculpted cheekbone results can be maintained for a year--a lengthier period than any other injectable currently available. Typically the injections are made intra-orally to decrease discomfort and reduce the amount of bruising. Generally the procedure takes around one hour.

It should not be forgotten, however, that Radiesse is also frequently and very successfully used for filling in facial folds and wrinkles and providing a generally fresher and younger appearance. These treatments typically take around 15 minutes. Radiesse is available in pre-loaded syringes.

If you are interested in exploring what this long-lasting filler can do for you, either in creating a new sculpted appearance or simply reducing lines and wrinkles, please contact the cosmetic surgery office of Dr. Rick Rosen, M.D., F.A.C.S. at 203-899-0000 to schedule a consultation today.

bariatric plastic surgery

2007-12-17T14:11:00.000-05:00

Dr. Rosen has been permitted to join the newly formed American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons. This society was recently established by plastic surgeons that specialize in body contouring surgery specifically for patients that have lost weight through non-surgical means such as diet or exercise or through various bariatric procedures. After significant weight loss, patients are typically left with skin excesses which many patients are unprepared for as well as concerned about. Patients have had to accept this reality or look to find a plastic surgeon to fix these problems. Finding a plastic surgeon who is thoroughly trained and familiar with these procedures and will give the proper care and techniques for the issues at hand. Combining body lifting procedures have gained in popularity and permit the patient to correct multiple areas in one operation safely. Team approaches and newer techniques allow these to be safely performed. please call the office for additional information.

liposuction is a proven technique to improve the body shape by the removal of fat. beware of non proven newer techniques hitting the marketplace. reducing or melting fat with minimal swelling, bruising and down time all sound great. but the techniques need to be tested, investigated, and proven before the plastic surgical society or aesthetic society will give their blessing. the safety of injected medications to melt fat still is under investigation. contacting the american society of plastic surgery at www.plasticsurgery.org will give additional information about which procedures are safe and proven to work.

2007-10-01T16:16:00.000-04:00

little procedure little result- are the minimal procedures out there right now, right for you? that depends on what you are trying to achieve. quick fixes sometimes can be beneficial, but there is a lot on the market to wade through. a well performed cosmetic procedure with the newest techniques will provide 8-10 years of improvement, with only a 10 day down time. to improve 50 years worth of aging in that time i believe is reasonable. the minimal procedures should be used as an adjunct, sometimes providers take them too far. be careful, choose wisely. consultations are complimentary, and can assist you in getting a clear picture on the options available to you.
