This is an interesting article from the WSJ that further confirms the association of waist size (or waist to hip ratio) and longevity.  It seems that overall weight is less important than whether your waist is under 35f" for a female and under 40" for a male.   Read this before eating your next slice of key lime pie!

Patients seeking breast augmentation or breast enlargement surgery often inquire about my thoughts regarding anatomic breast implants.  As most know, these are implants that come in many shapes and dimensions that try to emulate the natural tear-drop shape seen in most body sculptures.  I have long felt that these implants provided no benefit for most patients undergoing breast enhancement since studies have shown that round implants also assume a tear-drop shape when a patient assumes an upright position.

I'm often asked for a recommendation of products containing retinol, an important derivative of Vitamin A that's very important for skin care and anti-aging.  I'd be hesitant however to recommend the $385 product as much of a value.  Let me know your experience at jperlmanmd@gmail.com

There are plenty of reasons to quit smoking. And, we know, you've probably heard most of them already. Like, for instance, these little factoids from our pals at DoSomething.org: That the lungs of teens who smoke will not develop fully, which puts them at higher risk for lung disease, or that about 30% of teen smokers will continue smoking and die early from a smoking-related disease. Yes, of course, you're not stupid. You know these things. But did you know this naughty little habit is also poisoning your complexion?
