The American Society of Plastic Surgery came out with the nation wide 2008 statistics on the number of cosmetic surgery and minimally invasive procedures performed.  There were nearly 1.7 million cosmetic procedures performed in 2008.  Once again breast augmentation was the top of the list for the most popular surgical procedure with 307,000 surgeries performed in 2008.  Behind it were rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), liposuction, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) respectively.  The region with the most cosmetic procedures performed was the Pacific/Mountain region, which includes Colorado, with 29% of all cosmetic procedures performed in the United States being performed here!

Botox Cosmetic is still the leading minimally invasive procedure.  There were 5 million Botox injections in 2008, an 8% increase from 2007.  Hyaluronic acid fillers, like Juvederm, showed a 6 % increase from 2007 to 2008.

Although 2008 was financially rocky, the plastic surgery industry only saw a light drop in the overall number of cosmetic surgeries performed and even an increase in the minimally invasive procedures like Botox.  People still have the need to feel good about themselves even in tough economic times and Dr. Terrence Murphy can help patients fill exactly the need they are looking for whether it be with surgery or less invasive injectables.

Murphy Plastic Surgery now has three companies to work with to finance all of your cosmetic surgery and skin care treatment needs.  You can finanace as little as $300 to cover Botox or skin care treatments and up to $25,00 for major surgical procedures.  We have been working with Care Credit www.carecredit.com for several years and we are now pleased to offer 0% interest financing with them.  Another company we work with www.surgeryloans.com uses several lenders and is able to compare many rates and find what will work best for you.  And finally we have now added Chase financing www.healthadvance-online.com as another option for rounding out finance options for patients.

If you are a patient that has financed your plastic surgery through one of these companies, please feel free to share your story with us and let everyone know how easy it is to have the procedure or treatment you want whenyou want it!

Today we had an inspection of Dr. Terrence Murphy’s private surgical suite located in his office at 601 E. Hampden, Suite 310 in Englewood, CO.  Dr. Murphy’s surgery facility is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc (AAAASF), which is the largest accreditation organization in the world.  Being accredited by the AAAASF ensures patients the highest quality and safety in all aspects of their plastic surgery.  We must meet stringent national standards for all of the operating room equipment, operating room safety, personnel and surgeon credentials.

Many surgery facilities are not accredited and therefore do not follow the strict and necessary guidelines provided by the AAAASF or other accreditation agencies.  It is highly important when choosing your plastic surgeon to not only ask for their credentials but their surgery center’s credentials as well.  Through  the accreditation process and Dr. Murphy’s detail for patient care, patients at Murphy Plastic Surgery can rest easy and know that they are in the cleanest, most up to date and safest environment possible for all of their surgery needs.

There was an interesting article in the March 2, 2009 issue of Time Magazine that covered a study in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.  Plastic surgeons from Case Western University in Cleveland studied the faces of twins and the differences in how old they looked.  They found several factors which contributed to some twins looking older than their identical sibling including smoking, stress and sun exposure.  We know these lifestyle and environmental factors are contributors to aging however the investigators found one more interesting factor that made some of the twins look younger than their sibling . . . fat!  They found that twins over the age of 40 that were 24 pounds heavier than their identical sibling looked significantly younger!  Essentially the investigators theorize that the fat filled in wrinkles which led to the rejuvenated appearance of the heavier twins.

You don’t have to gain weight to look younger though.  Dr. Terrence Murphy has been performing fat transfer procedures in his accreditaded surgery center in Englewood, Colorado for over 12 years.  Fat is taken from one area of your own body and placed in the lines that form between your nose and mouth or below the eyes that seem to hollow out as we age.  This is a very effective procedure that can take years off of your appearance and lasts for several years as well.  The procedure takes less than an hour in Dr. Murphy’s operating room and has little down time associated with it (approximately a week for bruising and swelling to go down).  So no need to gain weight, just visit Murphy Plastic Surgery to fill in those unwanted lines.

Dr. Terrence Murphy is now offering the latest eyelash growth treatment to hit the cosmetic surgery industry in Colorado.  Latisse by Allergan, the makers of Botox, will not only lengthen your lashes but thicken and darken them as well!  This is the only eyelash growing product to be approved by the FDA and it is only available through a doctor’s office.
