Stem Cell technology has changed the dynamics of plastic surgery as we know it. The latest from our Stem Cell practice, the Stem Cell STEALTH Lift is the new celebrity secret. The implication, and success of this new procedure, is that it can be performed without drawing too much attention to the patient and with very little downtime. A combination of procedures, the Stem Cell STEALTH Lift will restore shape and contour and address laxity and hyperpigmentation to the face. The fat processing techniques which result in high concentrations of adult stem cells produce long lasting results.

Beginning with a Thermage treatment, the contraction of protein and the stimulation of collagen initiates the tightening of the facial structure.

The patient returns 1 week later when we harvest stem cells from the abdomen or inner thigh area and augment the face with platelet rich plasma (PRP) and additional injectables.   This elevates the muscle and loose tissue to a more yothful position. The transfer of stem cells to the face is not just a volume filler. The stem cell enhanced fat can actually rejuvenate your facial tissues and skin. Stem cells assist in increasing blood supply to tissues to make tissues look younger.  Minor facial procedures can be added at this time, if desired.

This is followed by light and laser treatments that are tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Resurfacing treatments can include IPL, Active FX and/or Micropeel.

The Stem Cell STEALTH Lift is perfect for the patient who wants to address aging without surgery or needs a little “refresher”.

Dentists can now predict health problems just by observing someone’s mouth. Your dental health has a connection with the rest of your body. A healthy mouth is a reflection of overall good health and when your teeth are healthy, you feel better. If you are suffering from bad oral health or dental issues, you may have a sense not feeling well. Most importantly, your dental health may also predict other health problems. Patients who suffer from snoring problems may need to visit a sleep apnea clinic where they may find their problems are related to their oral health.

Recently, doctors have discovered there is a connection between dental health and heart diseases. Chances are this is because a healthy diet affects dental health and your heart. Poor eating habits may damage overall health and bring on oral decay. Many of the foods that are not good for our teeth also hurt the body. Sugary snacks are high in calories cause oral decay and offer very little nutritional value. Even diet sodas and juices can harm your teeth and your overall health. The acid in soda will damage your tooth enamel and offer you nothing in terms of nutrition. High fat foods have a tendency to clog your arteries and often lead to halitosis (bad breath).

A simple rule to follow is that if something is bad for your teeth, it is probably bad for you in general.

Lastly, if you have severe dental issues, these can lead to a variety of unpleasant health issues elsewhere in your body. Be sure to keep up with regular dental visits and speak with your dentist about the health of your teeth. This will helps you avoid more serious problems that can lead to expensive medical bills, pain, and serious consequences.
