 "Hi my name is Givanna DelRosso and I had a procedure done on February 20th at the Sleek Surgical spa in New York, and I have to tell you that I am so please with the results! About 4 years ago I had my first son and I had gained 100 pounds, then 16 months later I gave birth to my second son, I had hit 245 pounds, I know real sad, I had become very depressed, but a couple years after my kids were born I finally decided to go on a diet and I had lost about 110 pounds, and then I had the loose skin on my stomach, so I started working out, but that didn’t help to much, my sides were still big and my tummy wasn’t going anywhere!! That’s until my mom saw a commercial on tv and told me about this sleek spa, I made a consult appointment right away, I went the next day and met with a nice woman voula and she looked at what I wanted done and said if you have this done you will be so happy with the results, at first I thought yea right this woman is just telling me that I truly did not believe it, well I finally decided to book it for the 20th, I went there so nervous for the procedure, and the staff was so kind and made me feel so comfortable, so I finally relaxed and they took me in the room to start, I did not want to get put out, so I did it awake, and it was not painful at all, less than 2 hours I was done. I had done lipo on my tummy, abdomen, and my sides!!! The nurse put a bandage on me and I walked out with no pain, the crazy thing was I was just a little sore, like I had worked, the next day I went out and I was fine!! It’s been a month since the surgery and I went from a size 11 to a size 6, if they told me I was ever gonna be a 6 I would have never believed it, and I am!!!! I am so pleased with my results, and I’m so happy I met Dr Haramis and the staff!!!! Can’t wait to do my inner legs and I also can’t wait for the summer : )) again thank you so much for making me feel beautiful again Sleek med spa and staff you are all so great!!!!"

Thanks Giavanna for your kind words!

More Men Go Under the Knife

A recent article from The Vancouver Sun examines how more men are getting plastic surgery to look better and gain confidence. Call us today at 1-800-SLEEK-USA for a consultation, or visit us at www.sleekmedspa.com if you too are interested in plastic surgery to gain confidence :)

With cosmetic surgery no longer taboo and a workplace focus on youth, more men go under the knife

When John Tlapa looked in the mirror, his nose looked like he "could pick a door lock," he said. It resembled "a hook with a point on it. It was pretty ugly."

So two years ago, the San Diego-based screenwriter underwent rhinoplasty to improve his profile and fix a deviated septum that had plagued him for almost 40 years.

Tlapa, 54, is part of a trend that, in recent years, has seen increasing numbers of men seeking cosmetic surgery. In 2011, 9 percent of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in the U.S. were conducted on men, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery - a 121 percent increase since 1997.

While the number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed in the U.S. increased just 1 percent from 2010 to 2011, the number of males getting liposuction and eyelid surgeries is on the rise. More than 41,000 lipoplasty procedures and almost 23,000 eyelid surgeries were performed on men in 2011, increasing 14 percent and 6 percent, respectively.

Women in recent years have been trending toward minimally invasive cosmetic treatments such as Botox and Restalyne, but the fastest-growing cosmetic procedures for men are surgical. Liposuction tops the list of most common cosmetic surgical procedures performed on men, followed by rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, male breast reduction and face-lifts.

"The taboo is lifting for men," said Renato Saltz, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Park City, Utah, who is also vice president of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. "In the past few years, plastic surgery is everywhere. All those nip-and-tuck shows have brought plastic surgery to a common ground."

Modern Etiquette: Let's talk about cosmetic surgery

Read this interesting article from Reuters regarding cosmetic surgery etiquette! To learn more about cosmetic surgery procedures visit us at www.sleekmedspa.com or call 1-800-SLEEK-USA. We are here to answer all of your questions and concerns :)

By Mary M. Mitchell

(Reuters) - Four generations coexist in today's workplace, each with a different set of perception glasses through which they see the world, their colleagues, their work, and themselves.

And generational differences aside, each individual has a different set of needs, a different set of motivations. There is, however, some commonality: everybody wants to be at their best, to feel good, to look good, and to perform well.

The Wall Street Journal reports, not surprisingly, that more Baby Boomers are having cosmetic surgery than ever before. A recent wire service story reported that image scanners are now looking into individuals' original appearance before cosmetic surgery to validate identification. This technology never would have been conceived were it not for the numbers of people who are changing their appearance.

When we change the way we look, it almost automatically changes the way others react to us. One would do well to adopt the approach of "mine not to reason why", to paraphrase Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

That requires setting some parameters.

"Plastic surgery takes on a polarizing effect like religion or politics. People have very strong opinions about it," commented Mary Lee Peters, a board-certified Seattle-based plastic surgeon.

Indeed they do.

Haven't we all been privy to snarky comments about people we claim "have had work done?"

"There is no getting around it and no denying it. It is foolish to pretend that comfort in one's body doesn't matter. The people most likely to deny it are mostly uncomfortable with their own appearance," continued Dr. Peters.

"Men are more reluctant to come up with reasons why they want to turn to cosmetic surgery. My observation is that men do it when either their economic status or their power structure is threatened."

With all due respect to Dr. Peters, my own experience is that, irrespective of gender, our dissatisfaction with our appearance ultimately impacts our perceptions of power structure and economic status. Yet, in terms of how we deal with others, does this really matter?

If you run into someone whose appearance is markedly different and you suspect cosmetic surgery, here are some suggestions for what you can do to keep the situation comfortable for all parties.

Looking For Another Reason To Have Your Breast Augmentation Procedure??

A recent article from The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery indicates that breast implants are in development that can deter or detect breast cancer cells! Call Sleek Surgical & MedSpa today at 1-800-SLEEK-USA to schedule your free consultation or visit us on the web at Sleek Breast Enhancement to learn more about the procedure.

Researchers from two institutions, Brown University and the University of Akron are leading the way in developing breast implants that deter or even detect cancer cells.  These advancements might have a huge impact on women who have had breast cancer or those with a history of the disease in their family.

Biomedical scientists at Brown University have published results in the journal, Nanotechnology, documenting their creation of an implant with a microscopic "bed-of-nails" surface that prevents cancer cells from dwelling and thriving.

"It's a surface that's hospitable to healthy breast cells and less so for cancerous breast cells," said lead researcher, Thomas Webster. "This is like a bed-of-nails surface to them."

Webster and Lijuan Zhang, a chemistry graduate student, tested various types of raised surface implants and discovered that those with microscopic "pimples" measuring 23-nanometers each were most successful in helping healthy cells to grow. As a point of reference, a nanometer is 1/50,000th the width of a human hair. After just one day, this surface yielded 15 percent more healthy endothelial breast cells compared to a normal surface in tests. Researchers hope human trials using this technology will begin within five years.

Is Botox right for you?

One of SLEEK's most popular procedures and ranked by The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery as the most popular of all medically administered cosmetic procedures. Botox® is a simple, non-surgical, physician administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crows feet near the eyes. Botox® is an injectable that blocks the nerve impulses and temporarily paralyzes the muscles, which cause wrinkles. Results can last for up to 4 months, and in clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment.

Are you embarrassed by uncontrollable sweating? Botox® is also FDA-approved for the treatment of excessive underarm sweating that is not adequately managed with topical agents.

What to Expect

Our practitioners are highly skilled masters in the art of injectables. Your SLEEK Practitioner will determine where to administer the injections by your ability to move certain muscles in the desired treatment area. Next, several tiny injections of Botox® are placed in the muscles that cause wrinkles. No anesthesia is required although your practitioner may numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting.

• Smoothes wrinkles
• Creates a youthful appearance
• Eliminates crows feet
• Results are seen within 2-3 days of treatment
• Effectively treats underarm sweating
• No downtime
• Non-surgical

• You may experience redness around the treatment area immediately following treatment
• Results last 4-6 months
• Though side effects are rare, Botox® can cause drooping of the facial muscles around the eyes, mouth and jaw line.

Regretting that tatoo? It's easier than you think to get rid of it

Tattoo or Permanent Make-up Removal

There are a lot of reasons for wanting a tattoo removed – it represented something you no longer stand for, it’s old and doesn’t look as good or you simply don’t like it anymore. Same for permanent make-up – the look you had is no longer in style or you just no longer want the permanent color.

Now, there’s a safe, fast and easy way to have your tattoo or permanent makeup removed. Sleek’s experts administer laser treatments to achieve the desired result without painful surgery!

Tattoos are created by a process of pricking and ingraining an indelible pigment or ink between the layers of the skin. The most common tattoos are those that are received intentionally with ink. SLEEK administers laser treatments to provide comprehensive, non-surgical tattoo removal for ink tattoos. With the Whisper NG laser, we can safely treat the tattoo often without breaking the skin. This amazing technology enables the body to process the laser’s energy more efficiently often without inflicting additional trauma to the treatment area. Non-surgical removal of unwanted tattoos or permanent makeup Areas: Anywhere tattoo exists Frequency: 6 treatments, 4-8 weeks apart
