Colorado Maxillofacial/Cosmetic Surgeon Improves Quality of Life for Patients in Vietnam
Denver, CO (ContentDesk) July 17, 2006 - Randolph C. Robinson, MD, DDS, founder of Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery and FACE the Challenge, recently returned from Vietnam after a ten-day trip providing orthognathic surgeries to thirteen needy men and women with facial deformities. After providing services for people across the world over the past 13 years, Dr Robinson lead a team of eleven to Vietnam where they not only offered their services to the select thirteen people, but they also provided training on orthognathic surgery for an audience of 30 Vietnamese surgeons.
Our goal went beyond helping a few patients, stated Dr. Robinson.
Our goal was also to educate the leading maxillofacial surgeons so that they could continue helping patients for years to come. Many of the patients selected for receiving this years surgeries had had these conditions for years. Some were born with preexisting conditions; others suffered fractures and breaks that went un-repaired. Though all had come from different situations, they all shared hope and the desire for a better life. While the goal of all FACE The Challenge missions is to provide as many corrective surgeries as possible during the visit, the other objective is to build camaraderie with these developing countries. This year, FACE The Challenge reached new heights as they were invited by the Vietnam team to travel to Hochiminh City (Saigon).
Dr. Robinson and his team accepted the offer, and used the time to build solid relationships with the entire Vietnam team. Helping is more than providing relief to one person. Its about taking the time to really understand the needs of the community, stated Dr. Robinson.
Building these relationships now will ultimately affect thousands in the future.

The procedure requires the expertise of an oral and Maxillofacial surgeon. Orthognathic surgery is usually performed in late adolescence or early adulthood, after the patients growth spurt has occurred. Typically orthognathic surgery is performed to help patients correct jaw deformities related to disproportionate growth either in the maxilla (the midface bone containing the teeth) or in the lower jaw.

Cosmetic Surgery ? a review of facial surgery, with personal experiences.
Basic background
Cosmetic surgery consists not just of enhancing someones beauty, but also to help those who have been badly damaged in an accident or who have physical birth defects.
Many believe that women are the main gender that go for cosmetic surgery.
Yet studies have shown that 11% of men are also getting cosmetic surgery - in fact since 1992, the percentage of men getting cosmetic surgery has gone up by 50%.

The stress of being beautiful is taking a strain on many people. People are spending about 10% of their gross income on cosmetic surgeries. Regarding age, there are some procedures such as facelift which are more frequently done on people over 40; however there are...

Colorado Oral & Maxillofacial/Craniofacial/Cosmetic Surgeon Speaks at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, Colorado
Denver, CO (ContentDesk) August 14, 2006 Dr. Randolph C. Robinson will be speaking at the Grand Rounds at the Sky Ridge Medical Center in August, 2006.
He will be presenting Orthognathic Surgery and Correction of Facial Deformities and Clefting and discuss his research and findings in the area of orthognathic surgery.
Dr.
Robinson is an expert in reconstructive surgery of the face caused by skeletal growth problems, as well as craniofacial syndromes and cleft palate.
Many children with facial deformities require orthodontic treatment in order to align the teeth in the bones. Follow up skeletal surgery allows the doctor to place those bones into the correct position, which ultimately will improve dentition and facial proportions.
Facial appearance is very important in communication and interaction in society. Children with facial deformities are often handicapped in their ability to speak, eat, and be accepted socially.

Choose Back Surgery As A Last Resort
Copyright 2006 Robert Gould
For years I have suffered from low back pain. For years I have tried just about everything for the pain except having back surgery. From physical therapy, traction, chiropractors, steroid injections, drug therapy, biofeedback tactics, stretching and anything I could think of to relieve the pain. Through the years of suffering from pain it would have been very easy on several occasions to go under the knife and have back surgery in an attempt to help my back and the pain associated with it.
After seeing several doctors, after a few MRI's, after a CT scan, and a discogram, the general concessus by most physicians was that back surgery was needed. In order to get pain relief from my herniated disc, most doctors told me that surgery was the way to go.
I still was not convinced. I heard the horror stories, I talked to the people who had back surgery who told me whatever you do don't do it. I saw the people who had back surgery who...

Many plastic surgery center Web sites offer payment plans and loans, while this may seem like one-stop shopping, both you and the surgeon need to be cautious with financing plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery financing typically is unsecured by collateral, so your surgeon stands to lose more if you default. Not that you plan to...
