Dr Randal Haworth of Beverly Hills had discovered an incredibly effective way of diminishing those troublesome horizontal neck lines.Only until recently has an effective method to erase horizontal neck lines or groves if you will been developed. Plastic surgeons have only offered neck lifts as a way to smooth these lines out and despite their efficacy in restoring youthful jawline and correct a “turkey neck”, they feel short in terms of treating those aging horizontal neck lines. As an alternative Botulinum toxin (Botox™, Dysport™, Xeomen™) can be injected into the platysmal bands of the neck and though it can “lift” the neck and lessen the aging cords of the neck, it does little to nothing to remove the horizontal lines. I have found that judicious use of a filler strategically injected under magnification into the precise layer below the horizontal grooves can dramatically decrease or even erase the stubborn lines. I usually start with a temporary filler such as Juvederm™ or Radiesse™ and once the patient is satisfied, I can then graduate to a permanent filler such as Artefill™., one the former substances dissipate . Here is a typical example of a before and after of a filler to the horizontal lines to the neck: |

10% weight loss in 10 days
Dr Randal Haworth of Beverly Hills discusses one of the most effective diets to hit the US.
Yes, it is true. Men can lose up to 10% of their total body weight in 10 days while women can lose up to 7%!I have been so impressed with the results that I am now offering this weight loss program at The Haworth Institute in Beverly Hills as part of our commitment to not only human aesthetics but also health and well being.
These results are achieved with what nutritionists and other scientists refer to as a ketogenic diet, one in which only body fat and no muscle mass is lost. Pure liquid protein is fed via a minute clear feeding tube and this, in turn, induces one’s body to first burn off the 48 hour glycogen reserve within the liver, after which time the body re calibrates itself to burn off pure fat. During this process, ketones are concomitantly released and expelled in the urine (which can be measured via dip “sticks” we provide), indicating that the body is in ketosis and fat is being efficiently burned.
The diet is divided into cycles, each of which last 10 days. As aforementioned, men can lose 10% of the body weight within one cycle while women can lose 7%. After a diet phase is complete, the patient is referred under the guidance of our nutritionist. After 10 days, a second cycle of the 10 Pro-Ten may be initiated during which time men can lose another 10% while women can lose, not 7, but 10% of their body weight .
Think of it-after 30 days, a patient can lose an unprecedented 20% of their total body weight. By way of example, a 200 lb man will lose 20 lbs after 10 day cycle then , after waiting 10 days may lose another 18 lbs (10% of 180 lbs),resulting in a total weight loss of 38 lbs in 30 days!.
To get started on this program, Dr Haworth or one of his associates will evaluate your suitability for the 10 Pro-Ten diet and , if you are deemed eligible, then some basic blood tests are drawn for analysis. Once cleared, the patient has a micro feeding tube inserted via the nose into the stomach. This sounds far worse than it is. There is virtually no discomfort with this very quick maneuver. The tube is then connected to a mini high-tech pump which infuses the protein mix and a constant rate, 20 hours a day. This pump and associated protein are situated within a small backpack which one carries around with them for the 10 days of the cycle. One can detach the tube from the pump in order to shower or exercise.Sleep should not be a problem.
There is little to no hunger with this program thus minimizing any temptation to “cheat”, unlike conventional dietary regimens.
To summarize the advantages of the 10 Pro-Ten diet:

To summarize the advantages of the 10 Pro-Ten diet:
- Fat loss, not muscle
- Relative low cost
- No surgery
- Very safe
- Little to no hunger, thus maximizing compliance
- Last but not least, extremely effective with up to 10% body weight loss in 10 days
The one disadvantage is the feeding tube but experience from Italy (where this concept was popularized) reveals a very high patient satisfaction rate for both “obese” patients and those requiring a small “tune up” before a special occasion, the holidays or a photo shoot whereby a patient needs to lose a certain amount of body fat quickly and safely. Cost for a 10 day cycle approaches $1500.00 at the time of this writing.

Botox for wrinkles, lips, necks and more….
I have been using Botox™ for close to 16 years now and have successfully applied it to not only erase forehead and eye region wrinkles, but also to improve the oral area and neck. By strategically injecting small amounts of Botox™ into the upper lip I can help curl out the upper lip by emphasizing the “white roll” or vermillion border as well as soften the stubborn wrinkles there. Also I can elevate the otherwise sad, downturned corners of the mouth by injecting into the depressor anguli oris muscle (DAO) and produce a minor facelift by injecting the platysma muscle of the neck.
The chin can also by smoothed out by ridding it of that aging cobblestone appearance when grimacing, while pore size can be reduced by selectively placing Botox™ into the dermis of the skin only. With this latter technique (when injected into the forehead), the patient can still move their brows but their wrinkles are vastly reduced as well as their pore size- that frozen look is avoided which is especially important for my actor patients. Xeomen™ is a new substitute for Botox and has a number of advantages.

The Injectable Nosejob
In the era of Twitter, Facebook, texting, rapid- fire music video editing, etc. everyone (including those not diagnosed with ADD) wants instant results. So what is unusual with wanting an instant nose job or rhinoplasty? Absolutely nothing. An instant nosejob is performed by strategically injecting a pre-chosen filler just below the nasal skin in an aesthetically sensitive manner. Temporary fillers such as Hyaluronic acids (Restylane™, Perlane™, Juvederm™, etc.) and calcium hydroxyappatite (Radiesse™) may be used as a “dress rehearsal” to confirm if the patients like their result. If so, many will then opt for a more permanent filler, either in the form of fat, Artefil ™ or Aquamid ™ (which is not yet FDA approved).
The appeal is obvious: less bruising, less prolonged swelling, less initial expense, less scary for the wary and more predictable (in the proper hands) with less risks. However, the injectable technique cannot be used to correct all types of cosmetic nasal problems and deformities. This is especially true for noses that need to be reduced in size and refined in shape. One does not need to be a genius to realize that fillers may do little to make a nose smaller by removing humps, refining tips and narrowing bones, no matter how well injected they are. The ideal candidate for an injectable rhinoplasty is the nose that needs to be augmented, either via it’s bridge (or dorsum) or it’s tip or both. A drooping tip can be elevated only to a subtle degree with filler.
Filler is also a great solution to those noses that have minor irregularities stemming from prior rhinoplasties. Filler will generally not help breathing problems. To learn more about this elegant solution to a rather common problem, check out these videos:

ZenTox™East meets West cosmetic treatment
For the last three years, I have been grafting certain concepts of Oriental philosophy and medicine onto my Occidental plastic surgical practice. Some of these chimeric treatments have really resonated with my patients, one especially in particular. This involves the simultaneous application of hot and cold jade stones during my administration of Botox ™(botulinum toxin type A.). Alternatively, this concept could also be used for injections of Dysport™ and Xeomen™, both new FDA approved paralytic substances for cosmetic use. I have coined Zen-Tox as a readily identifiable term describing the novel use of distraction from pain via temperature.
