New England Cable News Network broadcast a report on Wednesday, September 23rd , about 3D Surgical Simulation, filmed at Atlantic Plastic Surgery Center. Dr. Gray is the first surgeon in New England to have this advanced technology. “What will I look like?” is the number one question patients ask Dr. Lawrence Gray when considering breast augmentation. Now, Dr. Gray of Atlantic Plastic Surgery Center, located on Griffin Road in Portsmouth, NH, can accurately answer this question in 3D pictorial form. Dr. Gray said, “Previously, no one had any accurate way of sizing implants before. To me, a big change I see is, after surgery, how really happy they are. This is exactly what they want”. The report featured an actual patient of Dr. Gray’s, who stated, “I wanted to (have breast implants) but I couldn’t picture what I would look like in the end. The technology allowed me to see what I would look like from every angle, which made my decision a lot easier. The report can be seen by going to http://www.necn.com/Boston/Business/2009/09/23/Imaging-software-helps/1253748559.html. Using the very latest in medical technology, The Portrait 3D Surgical Simulation Platform by Axis Three, Dr. Gray and his staff can give patients an actual visual of themselves simulating the before and after – in photo realistic 3D. In the broadcast report, Dr. Gray’s nurse, Kerri Norton, demonstrated with the patient exactly how the imager works and how it helps Dr. Gray and the patient work together to select just the right implant—size, form and shape, that best compliments their individual body. Additionally, this cutting edge technology allows greater guidance and direction for more accurate customization, placement and shaping of the implants especially helpful for any asymmetry issues. Importantly, this visualization enables patients to see the desired outcome in realistic 3D from all angles—overhead, side, front views, before the procedure is performed and make any necessary adjustments. The simulation is also helpful for patients to understand if breast implants alone would correct sagging skin or if they might need a breast lift. On average, Dr. Gray performs about 250 breast augmentations a year, more than 4 times the national average. Currently, there are only 10 of these visualization machines in the U.S. “At Atlantic Plastic Surgery, our patients love this new technology. It allows them to ‘try on’ various sizes and shapes to determine what is right for their body and visually make any adjustment or changes,” says Dr. Gray. “It increases the comfort level of the patient and with the help of the software; we can show the patient a range of sizes, shapes and placement and take precise accurate volume measurements optimizing what is best for their body. We compare the "before" with up to 5 simulated results.” The Portrait 3D Surgical Simulation Platform by Axis Three is available at Atlantic Plastic Surgery at no extra charge and is included as part of the consultation. “At Atlantic Plastic Surgery, our goal is to make sure our patients are very happy with their result for a long time to come.”

Patients benefit by the introduction of Dysport to the market and the natural competition that stimulates with Botox Cosmetic. During the month of October Botox Cosmetic is offering a FREE box of Latisse, the new and very popular eyelash lengthening product, with one injection site of Botox Cosmetic. The Botox cost will be $250 (after a $50 rebate). Make your appointment before October slips away.

A new product to reduce wrinkles between the eyebrows, across the forehead, and around the eyes (crow’s feet)! Dysport, which is similar to Botox Cosmetic, takes just a few minutes and lasts 3 to 4 months.

Both Botox Cosmetic and Dysport are a natural, purified protein used to treat the cause of the wrinkle---overactive muscles --- by blocking the signals that tell those muscles to contract. Botox cosmetic is now FDA approved to treat wrinkles and excessive sweating. Dysport is also FDA approved for the treatment of wrinkles and to control excessive sweating. Both products have been used in Europe for almost 20 years.

Both products are safe and highly effective in the treatment of wrinkles on the face. But, Dysport works faster –in only 1-3 days vs. 4-7 days for Botox Cosmetics. And Dysport is a better value per unit than Botox Cosmetic. Though Dysport is a new treatment in the US, given it’s success in Europe over the last 20 years, it will likely be as popular as Botox within a short period of time.

When administered properly by a highly trained clinician, you will still be able to make normal facial expressions, but without the wrinkles or frown lines. Both Botox Cosmetic and Dysport are injected with a very small needle in tiny amounts to the recommended area. An important distinction is that Botox and Dysport are measured differently (much like feet vs. meters) which accounts for the difference in pricing. Dysport costs less for the same treatment. The effects of Botox and Dysport usually last 3-4 months, however with repeated treatments, the effects may last up to 6 months.
