The Maercks Institute Proudly Offers Natrelle 410 and Sientra Highly Cohesive Breast Implants Placed Through The Armpit – Transaxillary Approach!

April 6th, 2013 by admin

In the past twelve months, two lines of beautifully anatomically shaped implants have been FDA re-approved and reintroduced to the market.  Many patients desire the natural form of a well placed anatomic implant over the “augmented look” however these implants are most commonly offered only placed through a large infra-mammary incision.

The extremely popular transaxillary approach, placing the implants throught the arm pit with no visible scar, is thought by many to be impossible with these implants.  Luckily there are experienced surgeons internationally with a long history of successful transaxillary placement of these superior implant products.

Dr. Maercks is one of the few surgeons globally that currently offer transaxillary placement of these implants and he has the track record and experience with these techniques to deliver truly beautiful results.  At The Maercks Institute in design district Miami, patients benefit not only from his experience and proven results, but perhaps more importantly by Dr. Maercks ‘Cold-Subfascial Breast Augmentation TM.’  With Cold-Subfascial placement Dr. Maercks is able to custom sculpt a beautiful and enduring breast augmentation with a natural appearance that is simply unparalleled.

Limited private consultations are available by appointment only.  For scheduling at The Maercks Institute, 4500 Biscayne Boulevard Suite 104, call (305) 328-8256 or email Dr.Rian@RianMaercksMD.com

Why Botox and Dysport Should Never Be Used for Wrinkles.

Why Botox and Dysport Should Never Be Used for Wrinkles.

Everyday patients in my practice ask me for Botox or Dysport and I do my best to keep it in the fridge and out of peoples faces.  It takes me quite some time to explain the reasoning to patients and since I do it pretty much every day, I thought I would write a quick blog about it.

To be clear, I think both Botox and Dysport are wonderful drugs when used for the correct indication, I just don’t think wrinkle treatment with these neuromodulators is appropriate.  I have a fridge full of these drugs and use Botox on myself to help alleviate my constant neck pain resulting from spinal surgery years ago.  I use it in the face for muscular imbalances and balancing of palsy.  I have cured horrible migraines and whiplash pain with careful administration of these neuromodulators but never to treat a wrinkle.

So why will I not use this FDA approved and heavily marketed “wrinkle treatment?”   The answer is easy, it has negative aesthetic consequences even when applied in the best hands.  Early in my practice I perfected the art of “lifting” the lateral brow and shaping the periorbita with Botox, and became quite proud of my results of this procedure.  Although patients were always happy with the changes there was always something that rubbed me the wrong way:  Anytime you change the tone of muscles at the medial brow, some degree of brow splay, or separation, occurs.  In amateur applications of Botox this can be severe and lend an unintelligent puzzled look. Even in expert hands there is always just a bit of splay that is not noticed by many.  I am always quick to point out, however, that it is the sum of all that we perceive but do not “notice” that creates a conscious aesthetic valuation in the observers mind.

Now, lets put brow splay aside of a moment and consider the actual etiology of wrinkles.  Does anyone actually think the tone or strength of facial muscles are the reason we develop wrinkles?  This is of course a preposterous suggestion as muscles actually weaken with age.  Consider the dynamic healthy and expressive characteristics of a ten year old child.  when making a frowning silly face we can see the procerus, a frown muscle, bunch up into a bulky mass.  Why is there no wrinkle?  This is obvious, because there is healthy young ten-year-old skin above the muscle.

After treatment with hyaluronic acid facial balancing

It becomes obvious that the true etiology of wrinkles that appear with age is thinning of the skin and soft tissues.  When these tissues atrophy and loosen, wrinkles tend to appear through them.

Now how much since does it make to paralyze a muscle in the name of wrinkle treatment?  In my practice, to maintain truly effective Botox treatment to the face means spending $850 every two months( that’s really how long these drugs last).  That’s $5100 per years for these subtle changes and arguably not a huge aesthetic gain!!!

What about addressing the source of the problem i.e. the tissue thinning.  This is exactly what I do.  If the patient takes the money from their “Botox fund,” puts some back in their pocket and chooses to spend some on hyaluronic fillers (i.e. Perlane or Juvederm) they not only receive efficacious treatment of wrinkles but I am also able to perform ‘Aesthetic Facial Balancing’ as well.  Thus the patient walks away with a true aesthetic improvement of their face that will last well over a year, saves money and is spared from the risk of brow splay and other Botox complications.

In general it is my motto to treat the cause of the problem and avoid complicating and introducing new risk to hide the problem.  Think twice before you allow neuromodulators to be injected into your face!!!

Week #9 Maercks Multimodal Therapy(MMT) Update: Cellulite eradicated, Skin tightened, Excellent Lipolysis and Profoundly Improved Abdominal Definition

January 24th, 2013 by admin

After a busy year end and start to the new year the next update to Dr. Maercks’ MMT video blog is live.  As Dr. Maercks explains, now nine weeks after initiating MMT on the right side of his body only, the final results of the initial treatment are starting to show.  Dr. Maercks explains his rationale and the finer artistic nuances involved in perfecting noninvasive treatments to deliver truly beautiful results in a safe and reliable manner.

Dr. Maercks now plans to let his abdomen settle for one month, provide an update and then initiate MMT on the left side of his abdomen and document the catch up.

Thanks for tuning in!

Maercks Multimodal Therapy (MMT) Week #3 update skin tightening and lipolysis: bye bye cellulite!!!

January 1st, 2013 by admin
In this week three update, Dr. Maercks demonstrates the incredible results of MMT in just half the time that he targeted.  Twenty days ago he initiated MMT on only the right side of his body to demonstrate its effects using the left side of his body as a control.  At the same time he initiated a high protein low fat diet to be consistent with his patient recommendations.  He has lost ten pounds, but the discrepancy in findings between the left and right side of his body are tremendous!  At the six week point Dr. Maercks explains the results will be truly incredible, but here at only three weeks there are incredible findings of skin tightening, cellulite erasing and fat reduction.  The  results already exceed what can be typically delivered with more invasive treatments like smart liposuction.  Perhaps the most striking finding is when Dr. Maercks demonstrates the distortion on his belly button resulting from the drastic skin tightening on the right side of his body.  Dr. Maercks explains that this finding also suggests that the left side of his body is recieving some skin tightening benefit by these forces being translated across midline.  Nevertheless, these results are already striking and will continue to improve in each remaining update!!!

This is the first evaluation installment at week #0 of Dr. Rian A. Maercks demonstrating  the real time results of Maercks Multimodal Therapy (MMT) on half of his own body.  In this installment, Dr. Maercks explains that immediately after treatment, there are slight but definite imporvements that he demonstrates by comparing the right treated side of his own body to the left untreated side.  Dr. Maercks explains that next week we will start seeing more obvious changes.  Stay tuned for the development of these changes and feel free to email, facebook, post or twitter questions to be answered in next weeks video release!

Dr. Maercks Annonces the initiation of his new video blog documenting in real time the true results of noninvasive skin tightening, cellulite treatment and body contouring

November 22nd, 2012 by admin

In this exciting new video blog, Dr. Maercks once again enters the role of a patient under his own care.  This time the goal is to educate the public to the true results attainable with noninvasive treatments for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.  To make a transparently lucid demonstration, Dr. Maercks decided to control the results by only treating half of his body and releasing a video each week in real time to document the true effects of his best noninvasive therapy.  In this introduction to the series, Dr. Maercks introduces to the public Maercks Multimodal Therapy(MMT).  MMT is the combination of 4-7 different technologies depending on individual patients physical findings to in concert generate results that are simply impossible with any single technology alone.  A crucial part of MMT is a patent pending technology that allows Dr. Maercks to directly monitor in multiple dimensions the energy distribution in the patient’s body and the level of heat generation everywhere in his field of view.  This technology allows Dr. Maercks to offer his meticulous precision and artistic perfection using energy devises to contour the body, rejuvenate the skin and reduce fat.
