Too long between posts!
It's been a long while since our last post, don't leave it that long to get your moles checked!
Now that Summer is over, here is a friendly reminder to visit us and have your moles examined. Call (818) 884-7150 or (310) 271-6663 to schedule your appointment.
IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING CANCERS WOULD YOU PICK TO HAVE (I.E. WHICH HAVE THE BETTER PROGNOSIS?): Breast cancer, prostate cancer, or malignant melanoma (mole cancer). Your answer should be either of the first two. Malignant melanoma, unlike the other two, is, untreated, a fast and sure killer, which, unlike breast and prostate cancer’s is not dependent upon tissue type for its prognosis.
FOR WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING CANCERS IS EARLY TREATMENT THE ONLY FACTOR DETERMINING PROGNOSIS AND SURVIVAL? Breast cancer, prostate cancer, or malignant melanoma. Answer: malignant melanoma. Early diagnosis for the others is actually less important than the tissue type (which is often worse in younger individuals).
CAN MELANOMA BE DIAGNOSED EARLY ENOUGH FOR COMPLETE CURE? Answer: Absolutely. Early characteristics of melanoma (color change – particularly a purplish hue in a mole; border irregularity) allow dermatologists to remove the tumor early enough to yield above a 95% success rate in achieving no recurrence or spread.
WHAT IS THE FASTEST INCREASING CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES? Answer: Malignant melanoma. WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE? Nothing – they are usually flat. Malignant melanoma must be diagnosed with the eye, not the finger.

We got our first question!
Someone inquired about our P-FAB technique (permanent filler augmentation of the buttocks).
Our answer: Absolutely. Since this is done gradually, we can tailor it to the patient's wishes. The David Beckham, Shannon Brown, J-Lo or Beyonce P-FAB models are all in the showroom for a test drive and ownership!
Can this procedure be custom tailored to suit the desired shape of the buttocks? For instance, a rounder shape for men?

P-FAB Butt Contouring Takes Center Stage
Dr. Hamilton has developed a non-surgical butt enhancement procedure that can produce dramatic changes in the buttock profile gradually and naturally over a period of a few months.
Dr. Hamilton, who is co-author of the international best seller, "Beverly Hills Beauty Secrets," uses a permanent filler combination which is administered every 2 months, generally for 6 months. The buttock tissue enlarges naturally to achieve the desired contour. A J-Lo or Beyonce enhancement might be the goal or something more subtle. Less dramatic contours may only require less than 3 sessions. Dr. Hamilton does not use silicone for any of his augmentations. He uses only FDA approved long duration permanent fillers by injection only.
Dr. Hamilton has been treating women from all walks of life from adult film stars to surburban housewives. What previously was only achieved through risky scarring surgery is now attainable gradually and safely.

"There is a shifting in the aesthetic culture," says Dr. Hamilton. "Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez have definitely influenced our perceptions of female body beauty. The sensual look is definitely in. The stick is dead! Long live the curve!"
