ARES ENSNARED BY APHRODITES

Notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, the death of Caesar made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history. It was one of the events that marked the transition from the historical period known as the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. March was named after the Roman god of war –Mars” which in Greek mythology translates to Ares. Above is one of the Daniel paintings at the Obi Plastic Surgery Clinic entitled –Ares Ensnared by Aphrodites”. As Aphrodites is the goddess of love and beauty, I would like to advance my life long dedication towards beauty with our March specials listed below:

I am perhaps one of the most senior plastic surgeons internationally in regards to chemical peeling of the face. As a student at the University of Miami Medical School, I was a student of Dr. Thomas Baker, the world pioneer of chemical peeling in the 1960’s. Below is the facelift and peel that I performed on the first day of my practice:
Phenol peel and facelift 1970’s
Cases of TCA 35% peels performed in recent years
The TCA peel is a superficial to moderate level peel (20-35%) that does not change the color nor texture of skin. It will diffusely reduce wrinkles, melanoma and sun spots with healing occurring usually within a week. It will achieve much more improvement in one application then 3 to 4 fractional laser treatments and with longer lasting results. As one of the pioneers of chemical peels, I have had great success and with minimal risks. 20 years ago I co-authored book chapters with Dr. Tom Baker in two editions of Patient Care in Plastic Surgery on chemical peeling and dermabrasion. Unfortunately, the younger generation of plastic surgeons have largely abandoned chemical peeling in favor of lasers. Both modalities are of equal importance and we do have the most advanced lasers locally.
