Tummy tucks and face-lifts aren't exactly top priorities in the struggling economy. Yet the recession is the exact reason why Diana Adams needed the help of Dr. Fred Barr to look her best in job interviews. On Friday, she received wrinkle-filler injections in his West Palm Beach office.

Palm Beach, FLA - Aging baby boomers concerned with the effects of time on their appearance are turning to a new plastic surgery procedure that requires local anesthesia only, no hospitalization, nor the weeks of recovery time required for a full face lift. Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon Fredric M. Barr, M.D. has been featured in NBC affiliate news clips on an innovative outpatient plastic surgery procedure. The band-aid mini-lift was developed to allow plastic surgery to be done in the Palm Beach office with little more than a local anesthetic and minimal bruising and downtime.

Regardless of how or why Kanye West's mother died after plastic surgery, there are lessons to be learned from that tragic outcome. "Buyer beware," is how West Palm Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Fred Barr puts it.

Full face lifts can tackle everything: the folds by your nose, your jaw line, your neck. They require an operating room, general anesthesia and lots of recovery time.

Some Floridians stare into the mirror and dislike what they see. They conjure up a new image - usually younger and slimmer - and try to purchase that look through medicines or makeover surgery.

So what if Self magazine has tagged the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area the vainest in the land because of our predilection for cosmetic procedures. We can tear it off as fast as a chemical peel. "I'd like to think we're in the business of uplifting spirits," sniffs West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel.

If the MTV cameras had entered Sara Moore's life, they would have started their filming at the small, pretty Northwood house where she lives with her boyfriend, Michael. The producers would have met the couple's two big, goofy, affectionate dogs. They would have gotten a glimpse of the brand-new white Harley - just Sara's size - right next to Michael's big blue one.

With so many injectable collagen products on the market, you may not be concerned about - or even know - what is used to make your brand. The producers would have met the couple's two big, goofy, affectionate dogs. They would have gotten a glimpse of the brand-new white Harley - just Sara's size - right next to Michael's big blue one.

At first, the relationship seems unlikely. Big-time plastic surgeon hobnobbing with the guys over at the halfway house. The producers would have met the couple's two big, goofy, affectionate dogs. They would have gotten a glimpse of the brand-new white Harley - just Sara's size - right next to Michael's big blue one.

Cynics like to say, don't believe what you read. Well, journalists subscribe to that dictum, too. The producers would have met the couple's two big, goofy, affectionate dogs. They would have gotten a glimpse of the brand-new white Harley - just Sara's size - right next to Michael's big blue one.

Reporters almost never run a story based on one source because you may not get a complete or accurate picture. Recently, I received a press release from a doctor who said he was board-certified in both plastic surgery and diseases of the eye. The press statement said the doctor had seen patients who, after years of stretching their eyelids to put in and take out contact lenses, had relaxed the eyelid muscle.

There at those of you who just don't "need" a full face/neck lift procedure. My job as Plastic Surgeon is to introduce you to options you might not have thought of, and assist you in choosing what you'll be comfortable with. Realistic expectations will keep us out of gullible alley - and can help us explore new avenues.

Today's world of Plastic cosmetic Surgery is dedicated to smaller changes that create desired improvements - not distortions. The concept of "maintenance & upkeep" begins when you "see things you don't like" and then proceeds with taking a risk to change.

Dr. Fredric Barr shuffles through the "before" and "after" photos on his desk. He does not look happy. "I see nothing," he says. Shuffle, shuffle. "No change at all." More shuffling. "Unfortunately, no change."

When Americans head to the doctor to retool what they see in the mirror, liposuction is their procedure of choice. Last year, nearly 150,000 people had fat sucked from their bodies. That's about 40,000 more than had the same procedure in 1996 and three times the number who sought liposuction in 1992, according to the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons.
