Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Dr. C., Alison, and I just returned from Chicago, where we attended the AAFPRS (American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery) annual fall meeting. Alison and I attended courses pertaining to office management, patient care, aesthetics and skin care, and general techniques on how to make our office even better than it already is. Dr. C. gave courses to colleagues, medical residents, and fellows on “Rhinoplasty: Consult through Recovery”, “Functional Rhinoplasty” and “Getting Started in Practice”. Each of these were well-attended by surgeons from around the world and he was given rave reviews.

An even bigger accomplishment for Dr. C. is that he won a national election for a position on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is Executive Vice President-elect for Research, Awards and Development. This is a tremendous honor for him because he was nominated and elected by his peers, supporting his work with the AAFPRS, Face to Face, fellowship and academic teaching.

For those of you who have been keeping up with our website, I hope that you will be joining us next Thursday October 2nd from 6-8pm at our Fall Night of Beauty. It will give you a chance to meet Dr. C., Dr. Joseph Eviatar, along with the staff from both offices. We’ll be available to answer any questions you may have about the office, but more importantly you’ll hear about the latest happenings in Facial Plastic and Oculoplastic Surgery. There will be raffle prizes, gift bags filled with lots of cosmetic goodies along with food and wine. It promises to be informative and fun-filled so come one and all. We look forward to seeing you Thursday and if you cannot make it keep on reading and look for our next blog addition and future events.

Welcome back from summer! Here’s what’s been happening in the office.

This summer was very active for us here at Dr. C’s. Alison our office manager was the most active. She went to Maine and besides eating lobster for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, much to many people’s surprise, hiked and camped for a week. Our daredevil Lindsey went sky diving in Virginia. She’s still in one piece. Lyuda our nurse took a romantic trip with her husband to Paris. She ate plenty of cheese and chocolates. Of course she had some fabulous wine as well.

As for Dr. Constantinides and me, our family went to Greece at the end of August for two weeks. We visited family in Khalkidhiki and then introduced our three boys to the islands of Santorini and Skiathos. Our days were spent at the beach snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing while our nights were spent enjoying the local foods and customs of my husbands heritage. To end our trip we went to Athens for a few days and visited the Acropolis, the National Gardens, and Monastiraki, famous for its gyro restaurants. As you can tell by the many wonderful and amazing things our office staff did this summer we are ready to jump back into work and continue to provide you with the care and service you have come to expect from us.

We are already well into September and yet it’s hard to let go of summer. As our tans start to fade (What tans? You wore sunscreen, right?), it’s time to fall into A Night of Beauty. Join us Thursday, October 2nd from 6-8 pm for drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a preview of the latest in cosmetic procedures. More details to follow soon, or give us a call to find out and register!
