ATLANTA, GA, April 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dr. Theresa M. Jarmuz of Buckhead Facial Plastic Surgery is a plastic surgeon who specializes in face lift in Atlanta. She says the FaceTime Facelift, a procedure that specifically targets face and neck areas that appear flabby onscreen during video chats, is not often requested at her practice.
A recent article from the The Huffington Post explains why some iPhone users are turning to cosmetic procedures to enhance their FaceTime images.
According to the article, plastic surgeon in Northern Virginia developed the FaceTime Facelift to concentrate on areas that are highlighted during video chats and provide a specialized type of facelift. Altlanta plastic surgeon Dr. Jarmuz says this trend won't affect her patients.
"FaceTime Facelifts are an interesting development in plastic surgery, but they have yet to catch on at my practice," Dr. Jarmuz says. "While patients come to me with questions concerning how they can rejuvenate their appearances, they are typically more concerned with achieving natural-looking results in person than with how they look on camera."
Dr. Jarmuz is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology. She customizes procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift and face lift for Atlanta patients who want long-lasting results from facial rejuvenation.
"Natural-looking results are a top priority among patients at my practice," Dr. Jarmuz says. "I personalize procedures to match each patient's exact needs. Our goal is to help people look good not only while on FaceTime but also when they're interacting with family, friends and others face to face."
Dr. Jarmuz says a number of people turn to her practice for non-surgical rejuvenation procedures, as well, in order to cut down on the cost and recovery time associated with surgery.
"Surgery isn't the only option when it comes to getting the look you desire," Dr. Jarmuz says. "My patients also benefit from non-surgical rejuvenation procedures such as BOTOX Cosmetic, injectable fillers and laser hair removal in Atlanta."
At Buckhead Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Theresa Jarmuz provides a full-spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical facial procedures in Atlanta, Georgia, including face lift, eyelid surgery, BOTOX Cosmetic, and laser skin resurfacing. Dr. Jarmuz is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with membership in professional organizations such as The American Medical Association and The American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery. She is a nationally recognized author and lecturer who has won awards for her research in wound-healing and injectable fillers and provides a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation for women and men in the Atlanta area.

Study finds chronic fatigue syndrome patients had reduced activity in brain's 'reward center'
2012-04-25
SAN DIEGO — Chronic fatigue syndrome, a medical disorder characterized by extreme and ongoing fatigue with no other diagnosed cause, remains poorly understood despite decades of scientific study.

Beyond apples: A serving a day of dark chocolate might keep the doctor away
2012-04-25
San Diego, CA— Chocolate, considered by some to be the "food of the gods," has been part of the human diet for at least 4,000 years; its origin thought to be in the region surrounding the Amazon basin.

Researchers estimate that the typical American consumes over 10 pounds of chocolate annually, with those living on the west coast eating the most. Wouldn't it be great if only chocolate were considered healthy?
In fact, chocolate ...

Did bone ease acid for early land crawlers?
2012-04-25
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Here's an anatomical packing list for making that historic trip from water to land circa 370 million years ago: Lungs? Check. Legs? Check. Patches of highly vascular bone in the skin? In a new paper, scientists propose why many of the earliest four-legged creatures that dared breathe on land carried bony skin features.
The "dermal bones" within the skin, especially the bones covering the skull roof and forming part of the shoulder girdle, had a highly complex surface of ridges and furrows called "dermal sculpture." The authors suggest ...
