I just saw an old patient of mine who now lives in Rotterdam for a check-up. She’s visiting the United States and what do you think she is doing with much of her time? No, not seeing old family and friends. Guess again. Okay, I’ll tell you: she is too in as many visits to [...]
OTC Supplements Causing Gynecomastia
By Steven Teitelbaum on Nov 01, 2009 in Dr. T Blogs
What a shame that companies will still put supplements on the market that cause unwitting young men to need to have gynecomastia surgery. Most gynecomastia is just a result of the explosion of hormones during puberty. Most men have some breast tissue growth during that period, but it usually resolves. In other men, medications or [...]
Fat Removal without Surgery
By Steven Teitelbaum on Nov 01, 2009 in Dr. T Blogs
I presented the results of research on a new drug at the annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgery last week. Read here. This drug – now called “ATX-101” – is derived from cow bile. The active ingredient is deoxycholate (DC). The purpose of this substance is to digest fats that we eat. [...]

By Steven Teitelbaum on Nov 01, 2009 in Dr. T Blogs

By Steven Teitelbaum on Oct 30, 2009 in Dr. T Blogs
If anyone wonders, it is safe to breast feed with implants. And of the hundreds and hundreds of patients of mine that have had breast implants and later had babies, I never had anyone tell me that they conscientiously tried but still couldn’t breast feed. While we warn women about the possibility that they will [...]
Don’t Do Too Much Surgery At Once
By admin on Oct 30, 2009 in Dr. T Blogs
This is an interesting story about how Brits are pushing their surgeons to do multiple procedures at the same time to save money. Of course, if the surgeons were able to refuse, there would be no problem. But with patients ready to go to another doctor who agrees to do it, a culture gets created [...]
Jackson Jive and Plastic Surgery
By Steven Teitelbaum on Oct 29, 2009 in Dr. T Blogs
I just got back from the big plastic surgery meeting in Seattle. There was a great lecture by the world’s authority on biofilm –a slimy substance that the body sometimes makes around any kind of an implant that can harbor bacteria and insulate them from antibiotics. He showed how preventing this biofilm can prevent the [...]
Mumbai: a Destination for Plastic Surgery?
By Steven Teitelbaum on Oct 29, 2009 in Dr. T Blogs
If you read this story, you’d think so. But I think that anyone who saw Slum Dog Millionaire would probably think twice before traveling to c for their surgery. How about Chennai or Hyderabad? I have to admit I never heard of them. So I googled them. The first story that came up on Chennai [...]
