"Achieving Facial
Harmony"
 Dr.
Slupchynskyj was
recently interviewed
by
Cosmetic Surgery
Times for
his expertise
regarding African
American
rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty surgery in
African Americans is
complicated by
several common
characteristics: frontal
nasal area is
depressed, smaller
amounts of cartilage
and increased fatty
tissue in the tip of
the nose.
As a result of these
similarities Dr.
Slupchynskyj patented
a proven customized
solution for
patients: "Silastic
(S-) implant".
The implant is
unique as it
corrects the
depressed frontal
nasal angle and
increases the height
of the bridge of the
nose.
Todays patients are
looking to achieve
facial harmony while
preserving their
ethnicity.
This patented
method demonstrates
how this
desired outcome can
be achieved.

Feb.07 "ARCHIVES OF
DERMATOLOGY"
Exciting results
were reported
utilizing injections
with dermal fillers
containing
hyaluronic acid
stimulated collagen
production and may
partially restore
the structure of
sun-damaged skin.
The study conducted
at the University of
Michigan Medical
School, Ann Arbor,
injected nonanimal
stabilized
hyaluronic acid
(NASHA) into the
forearms of 11
healthy volunteers
presenting various
types of sun damage.
Biopsies were taken
13 weeks after the
initial injection.
It is assumed that
fillers achieve
their effects by
filling space in the
skin. Through
examining the skin
samples under an
electron microscope,
the researchers
found that this
appeared to be the
case with stabilized
hyaluronic acid.
Researchers wanted
to understand the
longer-lasting
aesthetic benefits.
What they found was
the biological
response of skin to
NASHA induce type 1
collagen production
in photodamaged
skin. Because there
is currently no
evidence that skin
on different parts
of the body behaves
differently, it is
likely that
hyaluronic acid has
the same effect on
facial skin.
These findings
suggest that, in
addition to its
aesthetic benefits,
hyaluronic acid may
be beneficial for
treating
skin-wasting
diseases that
involve collagen
deficiencies, such
as those associated
with HIV or steroid
use.
