Tennessee Cosmetic Surgery | The Plastic Surgery Group P.C.

I just got back from Denver and the American Society of Plastic Surgeon's (ASPS) meeting. I was very pleased that the techniques I have employed and developed for cosmetic breast surgery are getting a lot of positive feedback. Of special note is the procedure I nicknamed the SUPREME Mastopexy. Experts across the country are singing the praises of the element of this technique for correcting breast sag over implants.
I was asked to attend the experts' lunch by LIFECELL (the distributors of acellular dermal matrix) where I discussed the manner in which breast reconstruction is performed by my practice, here, in Chattanooga.
I was also intrigued by some reports regarding facial fat injection. The buzz seemed to be that a slow approach to the goal is indicated to avoid cosmetic deformities. That has always been my impression. Facial fat injections can grow and create problems that are difficult to fix. The replacement injectibles like Restylane, Juvederm, and Sculptra were very well received. I attended a workshop with a few new ideas on how to use these reliable fillers.
Of course, the ASPS response to nonsense claims by the "Cosmetic Surgeons" who don't feel that appropriate plastic surgery residency training is necessary before plying their trade with unsuspecting patients was intense. The recent USA TODAY articles and the FOX NEWS reports were frequent topics of conversation. The substandard training, and deceptive advertising techniques practiced by the types of "Cosmetic Surgeons" discussed in the pieces negatively impacts the good work performed by ASPS members who came in plastic and cosmetic surgery by way of standard route overseen by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
