THE “TOTAL CARE” PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER CONCEPT

The Obi Plastic Surgery center was the first comprehensive licensed plastic surgery center in Florida. The center has a unique 33 year track record of safety and delivery of quality care both in the field of reconstructive as well as cosmetic plastic surgery. A totally new paradigm for plastic surgery has been proposed for the future in order to adapt to any major changes in the American health care system. The goal is to continue providing a high level of care safely and at an affordable cost to our patients. However to maintain this legacy renewed efforts are ongoing for the addition of experienced professionals at all levels of staffing. Last year significant resources were dedicated not only towards technological devices such as the Slim Lipo laser but also maintenance of professional staffing. Similar investments are continuing with the future goals as outlined above.

SLIM LIPO UPDATE

This week Dr. Lewis Obi completed his 120th Slim Lipo case during the past nine months. More than 300 anatomic areas were treated since November 2008 establishing the Obi Plastic Surgery Clinic as one of the senior and premier centers for the Palomar Life Sculpt Slim Lipo system. During the past two weeks, Dr. Obi was involved with the training and preceptorship of almost 20 plastic surgeons from not only the Jacksonville area, but from Illinois, Tennessee and other major Florida cities. Eminent plastic surgeons worldwide consult and visit with Dr. Obi on a regular basis not only for laser lipolysis technology but other major areas of plastic surgery. Dr. Lewis Obi will be one of the featured speakersfor Slim Lipo laser technology on November 14, 2009 at a major symposia in Fort Lauderdale.

COMPREHENSIVE BREAST CARE

Dr. Lewis Obi is continuing his efforts to expand and enhance his licensed surgery center, the Samuel Wells Surgicenter, through ongoing partnership efforts with premier talent in the field of reconstructive breast surgery. The Obi Plastic Surgery Center is actively involved not only with the most advanced aesthetic techniques such as Slim Lipo, breast augmentation and facial rejuvination but also in a wide array of reconstructive procedures. There is a unique synergism that occurs when providing both cosmetic and reconstructive services to our patients. Reconstructive patients often seek cosmetic procedures and similarly cosmetic patients occasionally require reconstructive surgery.

“LIFE STYLE FACELIFT” DEFINED BY DR. LEWIS OBI

Every three to five years, new names for allegedly "revolutionary techniques" for facial rejuvination emerge into the mainstream media. A recent example is the so-called "lifestyle facelift" which was preceded by the MACS lift, feather lift and more remotely the so-called "minilift." These titles are not propogated by our plastic surgery society but by more enterprising surgeons from various specialties. The “lunchtime” lift is another recent example of marketing ploys.

Dr. Obi has always kept-up with current techniques in plastic surgery along with personally developing new techniques in his specialty. A good example is the patientʼs photographs below taken at two weeks post surgery.



The procedures performed includes Dr. Obi's technique of brow lifting (developed 25 years ago), upper blepharoplasties, facelift and Slim Lipo tightening of the neck. The so-called "life style facelift" is slightly less-invasive but with more limited results and with less enduring improvement. There is no significant difference in down time nor cost to the patient with the more clinically established procedures.

THE COMPLETE PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER CONCEPT

Dr. Lewis J. Obi, M.D. P.A., Samuel Wells Surgicenter and Renaissance - Center for Cosmetic Renewal will continue as the premier center for both reconstructive and esthetic services in spite of threatening government take over of our health care system. Dr. Obiʼs efforts to establish a new paradigm for his specialty continues and will preserve a private style of medical care with a high level of safety and professionalism. The team of professionals at the Obi Plastic Surgery Center are competent, caring and very dedicated to every individual patient. There is a high demand for this type of delivery system in our present health care environment which is in eminent danger by proposed legislation. Regardless of what may occur with the American health care system, our brand of medicine will never be compromised.

DR. LEWIS OBI IS APPOINTED AS A PALOMAR SLIM LIPO TEACHING CONSULTANT

After eight months of experience and completion of 100 Slim Lipo patients, Dr. Obi was officially appointed as a national consultant with Palomar Medical Technologies Inc. To date numerous plastic surgeons have benefited from Dr. Obiʼs skill and experience not only in the field of plastic surgery but also with cutting edge technology such as laser lipolysis. In November of this year Dr. Obi will be featured as one of the major speakers at a national symposia on laser lipolysis in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
