President Obama has signed a bill that will outlaw use of the tiny spherical beads in beauty and personal care products. Companies that manufacture toothpaste and face and body washes that contain the scrubbers will begin phasing out the beads by mid-2017. The ban begins in earnest in 2018.

Our members completed a survey about not only themselves but the practices where they work. Have you seen the results? Typical response rates for internal surveys hover around 30-40% but our turn out was just below the average at 25%. We asked our members about their education, where they work, relevance of the articles in the journal to their practice, and what educational offerings our members would like to see more of during future conventions.

Hello colleagues,
My hope and wishes for you is that we had a healthy and happy holiday season. Now the bitter cold, dark days of winter are trudging along and we can use this time to seriously look at becoming certified. Start reading the core book – a chapter a week and test yourself.

My brother died when he was 14 years old. He did not have a pulse and he was not breathing. The reason that we will be celebrating his 31st birthday with his wife and daughter this year is because two bystanders acted quickly and performed high-quality CPR.

One of the fun things about working in plastic surgery is getting to try the latest and greatest products as soon as they come out. I've always been hesitant to try new products and technologies on my patients. I like to wait and see what complications and results show up after being used for a while. More
