Plastic Surgery Checklist for Patients
To help you plan safe, successful plastic surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has prepared a Plastic Surgery Checklist for Patients. This checklist outlines steps to take at every stage of the process—from researching the procedure and choosing a plastic surgeon to preparing for your consultation and surgery.

By meeting ACS's stringent membership requirements, Dr. Parungao has earned the right to use the designation “FACS” (Fellow, American College of Surgeons) after his name. For more information, please see our related news release.

The FDA approval was based on new clinical data showing that Juvéderm’s effects may last for up to a year, which is longer than reported in clinical studies supporting FDA approval of other hyaluronic acid facial fillers.

“Moms willingly make sacrifices for their children—but now their youthful figure doesn't have to be one of them,” says Dr. Parungao.

Natural Collagen Production
Restylane, a popular injectable anti-wrinkle treatment, appears to stimulate facial skin cells to make their own collagen, a basic skin protein. This new clinical study finding was reported in the Feb. 20, 2007 issue of the Archives of Dermatology.
The clinical study showed that Resytlane\'s initial anti-wrinkle effect is caused merely by the presence of the filler in the skin. But three or four weeks after treatment, the skin actually begins forming its own new collagen.
