The Importance of Experience and Certification
The importance of choosing a Plastic Surgeon who is board certified and experienced can be the difference between life and death. Many people who are opting for smaller cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers and other injectables, may think that there are fewer risks so they do not need someone who is as educated or experienced. They may think that they will be okay with finding someone who is offering it on the “black market” or at steep discounts, but unfortunately, as was the case recently for young, 20 year old woman seeking buttock injections for enhancement, this can result in serious consequences and even death.
Make sure, no matter the cosmetic procedure, that you are seeing someone with certification, experience, training and an exceptional, respectable reputation among peers and patients which precedes them. At Maxwell Aesthetics we take every precaution to ensure our patients safety from the smallest procedures to the more risky procedures. Be smart! Go with experience and safety over the bargain deal or you may end up paying more in the long run. There is no cost greater than your life!
Liposuction – Nashville Aesthetics
Genetics play a large part in where our bodies like to gain and hold on to weight. Certain areas of the body may have stubborn pockets of fat that no amount of diet and exercise can seem to resolve to the point you desire. That said, diet and exercise are always an important part of a healthy lifestyle. If you feel you’ve exhausted your diet and exercise options and are still unhappy with an area of your body, you may considering Nashville Liposuction by Dr. Maxwell.
Liposuction should not be used a tool for weight loss, rather is should be employed to improve specific areas of your body. These area s differ patient to patient but can include almost any area of the body such as the abdomen, arms, thighs or buttock. Often liposuction can also be done in conjunction with other body contouring procedures such as an abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck), breast lift, or thigh lift, to create optimum results.

What is your favorite place/places in the world to visit?
Fredric S. Brandt, M.D., the man behind the flawless faces of countless celebs, talks with Stephanie Maxwell about the biggest beauty myth and his favorite Brandt product.
Brandt’s offices in Manhattan and Coral Gables, Florida are the world’s biggest users of Botox and he is known as the Master Injector of such fillers as Restylane and Perlane. But his home products are in equally high demand. Fresh off a six-week stint as host of his own call-in show on Sirius XM radio, he made time to talk to Maxwell Aesthetics’ Stephanie Maxwell, a longtime fan and friend:
Fred Brandt is cutting edge, eager to please, possessed of an uber chic wardrobe, and, above all, fun. He smiles, you smile. He gives you his opinion, you cling to his every word. His celeb clients include such A-listers as Madonna, Stephanie Seymour, Kelly Ripa, and Demi Moore. But no worries if you’re not on that list—he treats everyone the same. His devoted fans follow him from New York to Coral Gables, and a lucky few get house calls in between, but you don’t need an appointment to have access to what Ripa calls his “miracle concoctions.” At Maxwell Aesthetics we carry my top picks from Dr. Brandt skincare. I personally use the collagen booster, the flaws no more r3p cream and r3p eye Cream, the detoxygen experience, the time Arrest v-zone neck cream, and the time arrest cream de LUXE. Our patients at Maxwell also adore the pores no more line. Below, Fred answers a few quick questions.
What is your favorite place/places in the world to visit?
Paris and London
Your runner-up career?
Architect [It should be noted that Brandt already had one impressive runner-up career. Before he switched to dermatology, he was a cancer researcher at Sloan-Kettering where he specialized in the research and treatment of leukemia. There, he was a pioneer in the discovery of anti-oxidants to fight free radical damage, on which he now bases his skin-care line.]
Favorite way to spend time?
With my three dogs Benji, Tyler, and Surya
Your favorite Brandt skincare product?
My collagen booster stimulates collagen production and prevents degradation from glycation, where sugar binds to collagen and elastin and weakens structure.
Biggest beauty myth?
That makeup protects your skin…I’m very diligent about sunscreen. That’s the one mistake people make – they don’t wear sunscreen every day. You have to realize that even through a window you get UVA or longwave ultraviolet damage, even in your car. A lot of people have more spots and wrinkles on the left side of the face from driving, so that’s why it’s so important to wear sunblock.
Signature style?
Funky, modern, runway ready
Recent splurge?
A Balmain suit
You don’t leave home without?
My iPhone
Always in your refrigerator?
Green vegetables for juicing
Favorite contemporary art piece?
I have so many. But my favorite is probably my first Richard Prince painting from 1989.

The remaining skin will be closed around the areola area creating perkier, firmer and more youthful looking breasts.
