LEADERS IN DEVELOPING THE USE OF COSMETIC FILLERS AND INJECTABLES

We have been leaders in developing the use of cosmetic fillers and injectables, including Botox®, Dysport®, and hyaluronic acids, Restylane®, and Juvederm®. We performed the first large-scale clinical studies of Dysport® in the United States in 2004. We wrote the seminal article on the correct use of botulinum toxins in the face published in 1988. (Patrinely JR, Whiting SA, and Anderson RL: The local side effects of botulinum toxin injections. In: Jankovic, J. and Tolosa, E. (eds): Advances in Neurology: Facial Dyskinesia. New York, Raven Press, 1988, pp. 493-500). We uncovered treatment practices commonly used by many physicians responsible for decreasing the effect of botulinum toxin injections (Sami MS, Soparkar CNS, Patrinely JR, Hollier LM, Hollier LH. Efficacy of botulinum toxin type A after topical anesthesia. Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg. 22(6):448-452, 2006).

DISCOVERED REVERSAL TECHNIQUES FOR HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS

We recognized the enzyme used to reverse the hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane®, Perlane®, and Juvederm®), wrote the very first papers on this topic, and instructed physicians worldwide in this technique which has now become the standard of care.

ONE OF THE LEADING BLEPHAROPLASTY PRACTICES IN THE WORLD

We perform an average of 1,000 blepharoplasty surgeries each year (compared to 28/year by the average member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons in 2008) and over 200 orbital decompressions for thyroid eye disease each year.
