Bruce Jenner - Looking Better After Plastic Surgery

It's been reported here and elsewhere that Bruce Jenner has had a revision of his previous plastic surgery. According to OMG!:

"If you Google my name, the worst plastic surgeries of all time, or whatever it is... They've compared me to Michael Jackson," Bruce once said on an episode of his reality show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
Both Bruce and Michael were called out for going too far. After undergoing a nose job and partial face-lift in 1984, Bruce's post-plastic surgery face has been ridiculed and attacked in the media.

He does look better now. But why does he still look strange? There are two major things that don't quite look right, but are very difficult to change surgically:

First, there is virtually no excess skin of his upper eyelids. This looks odd in a man his age. Like George Clooney, there should be some extra skin up there. He doesn't look as bad as Kenny Rogers, though. Second, his nose is very thin, looking almost effeminate. This is very tough to change, and would require cartilage and maybe even bone grafts from his ribs to correct. There is another option, though. I once saw a doctor inject fat into the nose to correct a scoop, and it actually worked!

If you ever watch the Keeping Up with the Kardashians show, you'll find that while Bruce may be the most surgical-looking, he is also the most normal person in the family!

Lifestyl- Lift Fined $300,000 For Posting False Internet Reviews

According to an article by ABC News, the Lifestyl- Lift Company has been fined $300,000 by the New York Attorney General for posting false reviews of their facelift procedures on message boards online. According to the article:

Cuomo's investigation revealed internal emails in which employees were encouraged by company executives to take spare time during the day to write the reviews and post to message boards. "Put your wig and skirt on and tell them about the great experience you had," read one.
In some cases, the employees also created entire websites that claimed to independently review the company's procedures in order to mislead consumers. Cuomo's case was based on New York and Federal statutes designed to protect consumers. His office claimed that astroturfing constituted "deceptive commercial practices, false advertising, and fraudulent and illegal conduct," according to the statement released Tuesday.

Lifestyle Lift Has Its Day in Court

I noticed today that the famed "Lifestyle Lift" may not be all it has been hyped up to be... See the New York Times article: Company Settles Case of Reviews It Faked.Many patients have inquired about this procedure due to the low advertised cost and simple weekend recovery. I have explained to them that in my hands nice face lifts require about 1-2 weeks of recovery not just a weekend.

Dr. Youn Presents Dysport on NBC TV

Here is a television segment that aired last night which features me talking about and performing Dysport injections on a patient of mine. As you will see, it injects much the same way as Botox. So far I've found patients to be very happy with it, especially since they can save a few bucks too.
Thanks to WDIV and Dr. Frank McGeorge.

Dysport™ Is Here: Competitor to Botox® Now Available

I'm pleased to announce that I am now offering Dysport™ from Medicis (makers of Restylane and Perlane), which is a "botulinum toxin" similar to Botox®.
