It is hard to believe that it is already November! Please keep in mind as the busy holiday season starts, that if you need to come in for skincare, injectables, laser or ultrasound treatments, be sure to schedule your appointments ahead of time so that you can see your provider(s) before the holidays. They want to help you be ready for all your holiday festivities!

We are thrilled to participate again with the Samaritan's Purse's Operation Christmas Child. 2022 is our 10th year of helping bring Christmas joy to children in some of the world's most impoverished countries! These children would otherwise receive nothing and are incredibly deserving of these gift

boxes.

We hope to collect a record number of boxes this year, especially with the lasting effects of the worldwide pandemic and lack of vaccines severely affecting many of these countries. Our Global Commitment to helping others is a cornerstone of our practice, and we are pleased to have a generous community that supports these efforts.

Between November 14th and 18th, we will be collecting filled shoeboxes. Please drop off your gift boxes at our office any day during that week between 9 am and 4 pm. Click here for allowed contents and packing instructions. Our office, as always, is pleased to pay the transportation fee for each box. We have official OCC shoeboxes available in our office if you would like to pick one up; otherwise, as you will see in the packing instructions, you may use a shoebox you already have.

Please join us in providing gifts for these very deserving children who are incredibly appreciative of the gifts they receive.

Drop off your box before 3 pm on Friday, November 18th, and we will take it from there!

Dr. Gregg, Vice President of Examinations and Co-Chair of the Oral Examination Review Group for the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ABFPRS), works diligently to ensure that certified surgeons provide the highest quality services to the public. For her Academy, the American Academy of Facial and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (AAFPRS), she was elected to a 3-year term on the Academy's Audit Committee, is a member of the Women in Facial Plastic Surgery Committee, and serves as Co-Chair of the Accreditation Council for Post Residency Specialty Education (ACPSE), where she reviews applications from member physicians to provide Fellowship training for Facial Plastic surgeons. In addition, Dr. Gregg recently attended the 13th International Symposium for Facial Plastic Surgery, where she met with her committees and attended educational sessions with fellow physicians.

We are always proud of her commitment to excellence in her specialty and her practice. She believes every facial plastic surgeon should be well-trained and provide safe, effective surgery.

Dr. Wu was invited to be Faculty for the 11th Annual Allergan Surgical Symposium in October, a teaching event for surgeons, fellows, and residents interested in learning about surgical techniques in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. She participated in the Symposium, including "Supporting Your Practice" (a panel with Allergan Practice Consultants on what they can bring to support practices), presented on Implant Visibility and Palpability, Reviewed Breast Preoperative Planning and Surgical Techniques in Breast Revision Surgery, and presented on Implant Removal and Mastopexy. After the educational sessions, she performed an augmentation with an implant, augmentation mastopexy, and mastopexy with auto-augmentation flap techniques in the hands-on cadaver lab. It was an honor to be selected to participate as Faculty in this Symposium, and we are proud of her being acknowledged in this way. Dr. Wu is always happy to share her knowledge with fellow plastic surgeons to advance her specialty.

EltaMD So Silky Hand Crème

So Silky Hand Crème is clinically proven to moisturize dry, flaky skin for up to 12 hours. Powerful ceramides, gentle emollients, and antioxidant vitamin E nourish and revive dry, rough hands. Additionally, with a plant-derived ingredient, Sclareolide, this hand cream also helps to improve the appearance of skin discoloration.



Our staff loves this luxurious crème because it is non-sticky, absorbs quickly, and enhances skin luminosity. Being fragrance-free and great for sensitive skin, this is a go-to cream for our office.
