“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.
