Does Health Insurance Pay For Essure Reversal?
As a specialty center for Essure reversal, our office staff are frequently asked “Does health insurance pay for Essure reversal?”
Essure was first approved in 2001. At first, not many women opted to have the Essure procedure. Very few Essure procedures were performed.
After the Bayer Health Care Corporation acquired Essure in 2013, more aggressive marketing of Essure occurred, more doctors began offering Essure, and more women opted to use Essure for permanent birth control (sterilization).
It has been estimated that over 750,000 women world-wide have had Essure. The actual numbers of women who have Essure inse...

What Is an ExpertInjector?
Did you know that virtually any physician can purchase and administerinjectables? That ' s more than 1 million doctors who are allowed to perform cosmetic injectables in the U.S. — and less than 3% who have appropriate qualifications. You can rely on theExpertInjector™ designation, the only organization to have the endorsement of the prestigiousAmerican Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery andthe American Society for Dermatological Surgery.Beware of doctors practicing outside of their specialty, offering cosmetic injectables without proper training. This puts you at risk of mediocre or unexpected results, even deformi...

SleepScore Max by SleepScore Labs: CEO Interview & Product Review
At the beginning of this year, Medgadget spoke with Colin Lawlor, CEO of SleepScore Labs about the company’s S+ non-contact sleep monitoring technology. Last month, we again heard from SleepScore Labs about their new SleepScore Max sleep monitoring system, an upgrade to the original S+.
Since then, Medgadget was able to give the SleepScore Max device a try for ourselves. Note that we also had a chance to try out the S+ technology earlier this year, and will be making some comparisons between the original and updated devices from SleepScore Labs.
Before and after trying out the technology, Medgadget again touched b...

Get credit for your data – BMC Research Notes launches data notes
Data is becoming increasingly more important. Researchers tell us they are motivated to share data to progress research, to receive more credit and visibility for their work and to comply with funder policies. Springer Nature’s wider data plan aims to develop products and services to help researchers make their data FAIRer (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable).
Earlier in the year we have introduced our pilot Data Support Services which help authors comply with funder and journal policies, prepare their data for deposition in a repository and enhance their peer-reviewed publications. The data is stored in t...

Aging Wisely
This study, published in 2012 in The Journal of the American Medical Association, examined the relationship between attitudes about aging and recovery from disabilities. Researchers found that seniors who have positive outlooks on aging are forty percent more likely to recover from a disability than those with negative attitudes.
So how can we feel better about aging? Is it as simple as ignoring the anti-aging ads on television? Maybe not, but it’s a start. Like so many things, it’s all about how we look at it — how we choose to view ourselves and those around us.
Surely feeling well can help us look at aging in ...

Comedy meets Cosmetic surgery? The new film, " Take My Nose, Please. "
Comic Jackie Hoffman made up as a witch for the new Joan Kron film Jowls. A bulbous droopy schnoz. Eyelids that fold over themselves like Venetian blinds in need of a swift tug. Sun damage and age-related changes conspire against the wrinkle-free look of youth. Who over the age of 25 hasn't looked in the mirror and pondered,"What about a little tune-up?' Yet, in Western society, this conversation is usually a private one between our morning selves and the looking glass. Harking back to the Puritan days of Olde, we keep these musings secret."Voldemort" is not the only&quo...

An Early Prognosis: What Will Become of Healthcare IT in the Age of Trump?
By PETER WILEY
In the United States, it’s the Day After. The future of American policy – from immigration to foreign trade to national defense – is full of kinetic uncertainty. One thing is certain: that Donald J. Trump – who has brought something very different from palpable policy proposals to the American electorate – is President Elect of the United States.
There is no shortage of morning-after polemic: some are crying, some are celebrating, and others still are sleeping off the night. Whatever one’s political belief, our industry is perhaps at the center of the new sea of trumpian uncertainty. Indeed, the ...

Life Optimizer Has a New Look
I have something to tell you today: Life Optimizer has a new look!
It has been six years since I updated the look of the website. The last time I updated it was in 2010. So I think it’s time for a facelift.
I actually wanted to launch the new look at the 10th anniversary of Life Optimizer, but I couldn’t get it ready at that time. It still took quite a lot of work. But now I’m happy to tell you that it’s ready!
It still has some glitches here and there, and I’m still working on them, but overall it works. If you read this through an email or feed reader, click here to check it out. Enjoy! (Source: Life Optimizer)

Costs Skyrocket for Air and Space
Smithsonian leaders have revealed that renovating the Air and Space museum in Washington, D.C. will cost almost $1 billion. That’s the equivalent of an army of 10,000 workers earning $100,000 each for a year to fix it up. Geez, government projects are expensive!
My letter in the Washington Post today proposes that rather than hitting taxpayers, museum visitors should pay for the renovation:
Regarding the June 23 Style article “Estimate for Air and Space facelift closes in on $1 billion”:
About $250 million of the ballooning makeover costs for the National Air and Space Museum will come from private donations, leaving...

I’m a woman and a plastic surgeon. This is what beauty means to me.
When I introduce myself as a plastic surgeon, I am often greeted with surprise. Between the slightly quizzical looks, the concerned head tilts, and the explicit queries, the question is clear: How could a woman of substance find herself in that line of work?
The truth is that real plastic surgery (in my world, at least) is nothing like its media representations. The nipped and tucked patients with outlandish requests, the salacious and provocative doctors, the ostentatious displays of wealth and consumption — these have nothing to do with my life or career. Plastic surgery, at its core, is an academic discipline that...
