Inland Empire cosmetic surgeon and ABCS member Dr. Jacob Haiavy’s new state-of-the-art AAAHC accredited surgical facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California was mentioned in an LA Daily News article titled “Being over 50, she was ready for her ‘close-up’” on May 5, 2011.
A few months ago I marched into my doctor’s office and uttered words that surprised even me: “I’m over 50 and I want my colonoscopy.”…Instead of a hospital I had my procedure done at the Surgical Arts of the Inland Empire, a surgery center specializing in cosmetic surgery.
Surgical Arts of the Inland Empire opened in 2010, featuring a wide variety of services for Inland Empire area patients including weight loss surgery, cosmetic foot surgery, cosmetic gynecology, vascular surgery, gastroenterology, orthopedic surgery, general surgery, and Dr. Haiavy’s specialty, cosmetic surgery.
Inland Empire area surgeons of all specialties are welcome to operate at this stunning new facility and can contact Dr. Haiavy for more information about participating in the practice.

MSNBC.com reported on August 3, 2008 about an alarming trend involving Botox theft, quoting Las Vegas Botox provider and facial plastic surgeon Dr. Samir Pancholi.
“We’ve had it happen three times,” says Dr. Samir Pancholi, a cosmetic and facial plastic surgeon from Las Vegas. “The first time, it was a woman in her 50s who came in and got treatment, then said, ‘My purse is in the car, I’ll go grab it and be right back.’ Then she was gone.”
While Pancholi never filed theft reports (“This is low on the police’s radar,” he says), other Botox bandits have been reported in Newport Beach, Calif.; Port St. Lucie, Fla.; Tampa, Fla.; Brisbane, Australia and Kenton, England.

What does the movie Avatar have in common with cosmetic surgery? According to the Detroit area cosmetic surgeons of Allure Medical Spa, the same 3-D imaging technology used in motion pictures is now useful for simulating cosmetic surgery results during a consultation.
Dr. Brett Kotlus and Dr. Charles Mok of Allure Medical Spa were recently featured on the beauty industry blog discussing the use of Vectra 3-D imaging (from Canfield Imaging Systems) during cosmetic surgery consultations.
“After seeing what my outcome would look like and comparing three different sizes I was completely comfortable picking an implant size; I went into surgery with my mind completely at ease,” says one patient featured in the article.
30 minutes is all that is required for a consultation, says Dr. Kotlus, which includes 3-D imaging and surgery simulation. Along with the Vectra system, Allure Medical Spa utilizes a variety of other technologies such as Visia Skin Analysis, Lumenis Laser Treatments, and Laser Assisted Liposuction.
Would you be surprised if your mother chose to get cosmetic surgery? If so, you may be even more surprised, and even inspired, upon seeing her results. In Tulsa, cosmetic surgeon James Koehler M.D. says he’s getting visits from plenty of mother-daughter pairs–so many that a “family discount” seems appropriate.
Two of his patients recently spoke to reporters for msnbc. Tami Fry, a 31-year-old patient of Dr. Koehler said she was inspired by her mother’s tummy tuck and breast lift results. “When I saw how beautiful my mom looked, I said, ‘that’s it. I’m doing it.’”
Dr. Brett Kotlus, a cosmetic and oculofacial plastic surgeon practicing in Shelby Township, Michigan, has traveled to different areas of the world for medical missions. In September, 2008 he spent two weeks in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia training surgeons in eyelid and facial reconstructive surgery.
Surgical procedures included facial bone reconstructions, eyelid reconstructions, and facial tumor resections. “The physicians in Mongolia are highly motivated to advance the quality of medical care in their country, but their access to resources is limited. One half of Mongolians live in small huts, as part of a nomadic lifestyle,” said Dr. Kotlus.
Health for Humanity organized the mission, a group that “focuses primarily on blindness prevention and development of vision services to address local health issues and challenges.” With his background in oculofacial plastic surgery, Dr. Kotlus was particularly qualified to assist the group in Mongolia.
“My visit to Mongolia gave me a rich cultural experience and it helped me to appreciate the high quality of medicine we have in the United States.” The doctor says he plans to develop an online consultation service with the surgeons to assist them further.

"Getting a second or even third opinion is critical, says Dr. Angelo Cuzalina, president-elect of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS). "The extra effort and additional consultations will undoubtedly educate you further… which is always self-empowering."

“Dr. Pancholi, who is certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, takes scare tactics a step further. He shows patients graphic postoperative pictures of smokers who didn’t heed his advice to quit. “They see the wound opening up, turning red or black, the edges start coming apart,” he said. “They see the skin graft we use to put it back together.”
