Dr. Lewis Obi is receiving special international recognition as he will be the cover story for Plastic Surgery Practice Magazine in the upcoming June 2011 issue.
His nomination for the cover story was a recognition of not only his long term contributions in the field of plastic surgery but his ongoing participation in developing new technology in the area of lasers, clinical applications of fat derived stem cell science and major participation in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery.
During the past three years Dr. Obi has lectured at several symposia and plastic surgery meetings nationally in addition to training plastic surgeons at the Obi Plastic Surgery Clinic. For the past six months he has actively participated with his new associate Dr. John Murray in their efforts to enhance the care of breast cancer patients.

DR LEWIS OBIʼS ACTIVE TEACHING SCHEDULE
In March, we announced that Dr. Lewis Obi was one of the major presenters at an advanced symposium in Dallas. Later this month Dr. Obi will not only share his 30 months of experience with Slim Lipo™ (LifeSculpt™) but also
present one of the earliest U.S. clinical applications of Adivive™. Palomar Medical Technology Inc. provided Dr. Lewis Obi with the first FDA approved Adivive (Lipokit) units in January and as of this week Dr. Obi has treated more than 20 patients with this new fat grafting system.
“The Adivive™ Fat Processing Unit is the only system that infuses tissues, harvests fat, centrifuges and delivers fat in a totally enclosed sterile system,” commented Dr. Obi. “My discussions with University of Tokyoʼs Chairman of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Yoshimura, this weekend in Boston, was a learning experience for me.” Dr. Obi comments that “Although I have been performing fat grafting at least ten years before Dr. Yoshimura, his research and publications have provided the world of medicine with a wealth of important data.”
Of interest is that Dr. Yoshimura and Dr. Lewis Obi are using the same Fat Processing System developed by Dr. He Young Lee of South Korea several years ago. Adipose derived stem cell (ADSC) fat is one of the most active areas of research not only in plastic surgery but in all areas of medicine. Because of higher survival rates of “cleaner” fat, the use of this technique has many new applications in both aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures.
For specific applications refer to our recent work with Adivive (Lipokit) patients on our website.

DR LEWIS OBI VISITS PALOMAR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY INCʼS NEW RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PLANT IN BURLINGTON, MA
World famous stem cell plastic surgeon Dr. Katora Yoshimura from the University of Tokyo and Dr. Lewis Obi were among a small group of five plastic surgeons visiting the 130,000 square foot facility of Palomar Medical Technology this past week. 
Palomar is perhaps the world leading producer of medical lasers and 30 months ago introduced Dr. Obi to their newly developed laser lipolysis Slim Lipo™ system.
“I was blown away and in total awe of the magnitude of this high-tech facility outside of Boston where the leading laser scientists are conducting ground breaking research and development,” said Dr. Obi.
Palomar is one of the last American high-tech corporations that are not only conducting laser research and development but entirely producing all of their own medical lasers in house. Palomarʼs most recent innovation is their home-use laser Palovia™ which is marketed through QVC and Nordstrom. This micro fractional laser device sells for only $499 and patients may effectively and safely treat eyelid wrinkles at home.
Dr. Lewis Obi was most impressed with PMTIʼs CEO, Joe Caruso, who directed the tour of his unique facility. Dr. Gregory Altshuler Ph.D. who, during the cold war years, was the director of the St. Petersberg Russian laser program, joined Palomar in 1995. He now heads up R&D with his large team of Ph.D. laser experts.
Plastic surgeon, Dr. Brooke R. Seckel is the medical director of Palomar and is Chairman Emeritus of Plastic Surgery at the Lahey Clinic as well as Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Seckel is perhaps one of the leading aesthetic laser surgeons in the world.

PALOVIA NOW AVAILABLE AT THE RENAISSANCE CENTER
Dr. Lewis Obi and Denise Merlo are happy to announce that the Obi Plastic Surgery Clinic will provide patients with the new hand-held self treatment laser Palovia™ at the same low discounted cost at Nordstrom and QVC. The advantages of patients acquiring their units from Dr. Lewis Obi are numerous.
We will provide you with instructions for treating eyelid lines and also integrate the use of this laser with almost every surgical procedure performed at our facility. Coincidentally, Palovia™, although not specified by its FDA approval, also has been found to speed up healing of fresh surgical scars and also enhance collagen rejuvenation in other areas of the body.
Patients undergoing major cosmetic procedures are encouraged to integrate the use of this device in their ongoing rejuvenation efforts. “My visit with many of the laser experts at Palomar this past weekend was very convincing,” said Dr. Obi.
