Biote Hormone Replacement Therapy: Now Available on Boston's South Shore

We are now offering the Biote method of bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy. Biote is the leading hormone replacement optimization company.

What is Hormone Optimization?

As you age, your body starts producing less of key hormones. When those hormones are out of balance, it

can cause a broad range of symptoms such as weight gain, hot flashes, low libido, poor sleep, mood swings, and more.

Once optimized with Biote hormone replacement therapy, patients report:

• Improved mood, sleep and mental clarity
• Increase energy, weight loss, and muscle mass
• Restored libido and better sex.

Getting Started with Biote Hormone Replacement Therapy

Book a consultation with Dr. DiEdwardo, a certified Biote provider. All it takes is a simple blood test to check your current hormone levels to see if hormone optmization therapy might be right for you.

CoolSculpting Receives FDA Clearance for Double Chin

Just before the holidays, Allergan announced that the CoolSculpting® treatment had become the first and only non-surgical fat reduction technology to be FDA-cleared for improved appearance of lax tissue in conjunction with submental fat, or "double chin."

CoolSculpting for double chin is already clinically proven to reduce fat up to 20 percent in the treated area after one treatment. An 18-week clinical study of CoolSculpting in submental fat treatment found that 77 percent of patients showed improved appearance of lax tissue and 75 percent of patients reported their chin looked more toned following treatment.1

Dr. Hamori has been offering CoolSculpting treatments in the Skin Spa since 2011, when she was the first to bring this great new technology to Boston’s South Shore. Initially developed to permanently reduce stubborn belly fat from the mid section and “love handles,” some advances since then include “DualSculpting” — booking two CoolSculpting machines in one session for twice the results — as well as the development of the special CoolSculpting “Mini” applicator which makes the “double chin” treatments possible.

See our web page on CoolSculpting for more information on the latest news in non-surgical fat reduction, or call us to learn more at (781) 934-2200.

Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery: Concepts, Classification and Techniques

Dr. Hamori's book is now available from Thieme Medical Publishers and amazon.com

Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery: Concepts, classification and techniques (by Christine A. Hamori, Paul E. Banwell and Red Alinsod) provides a comprehensive guidance for surgeons who perform genital cosmetic treatments for their female patients. It is an invaluable resource with 350 color photos and surgical illustrations, videos and more, with the objective of achieving the best possible outcomes.

From the Preface, Dr. Hamori writes…

"During the late 1990s, when I was fresh out of my plastic surgery residency, I met a young woman who requested a reduction of her labia minora. She felt uncomfortable in her clothes and was embarrassed to be intimate. My first thought was that she must have a body dysmorphic disorder… After I examined her, I understood her concern. Her labia minora were large and protrusive."

"I agreed to perform labiaplasty, and I fully disclosed to the patient that this would be the first time I had performed such a surgery. She consented, and I searched the literature for guidance. There only existed a small paragraph on the procedure in McCarthy’s Plastic Surgery, as well as a handful of case reports about severe hypertrophy of the labia."

"Fast forward [two decades], and now I have more than 400 labiaplasties under my belt (forgive the pun), driven in part by a shift toward nude pubic grooming. I was delighted when I was approached by the publisher to write a book about female cosmetic genital surgery. I feel that the field is finally approaching validation in the plastic surgery community."

Together with other plastic surgeons as well as gynecologists and urologists, Dr. Hamori along with co-authors Banwell and Alinsod, have created the authoritative text on female genital surgeries including: Labia minora reduction, labia major reduction, clitoral hood reduction, fat grafting augmentation of the labia majora, augmentation of the labia majora with dermal fillers, perineoplasty, vaginoplasty, hymenoplasty, and more. In addition to detailed color photos and surgical illustrations the book includes access to descriptive and instructive videos.

Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery is published by Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc. The book is available for purchase both at the publisher (receive a special 20% discount via this link) and on amazon.com.

A Noted Authority on Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery

Dr. Hamori is a board-certified, plastic surgeon recognized for her special expertise in female genital aesthetic surgery as well as non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation. Her unique reputation in labial surgery brings patients from all over the world to her Boston-area practice.

Say Hello Kybella, Goodbye Double Chin!

I am pleased to introduce Kybella™ — the first NON-INVASIVE, FDA-approved injectable for treatment of that dreaded "double chin" (also known as submental fat).  As a member of the Speakers Bureau for Kybella, I'm posting this from Chicago, where I was invited as the chosen plastic surgeon from Massachusetts to participate as a physician trainer for clinical instruction and education.

What makes this new offering so exciting is that after a treatment plan of usually 6 or fewer sessions, your double-chin problems are over. This is a permanent destruction of fat cells. It was written about recently in the New York Times. My practice will be one of the few offering this new treatment in Massachusetts.

How it works.

The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, it causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

Breast Lift Surgery Becoming More Popular — Cosmetic Trends

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has released this video describing the surge in popularity of breast lifts.

Here is the video: Breast Lift Surgery up 70% Since 2000


Breast lift surgery (or mastopexy) is often done in conjunction with breast implants, but certainly not always. Each women's needs and desires are different. When you come in for an initial consultation, we will discuss your goals and review the options, which often gets into the distinct benefits between silicone and saline implants.

There are many great options available for women today. If you are unhappy with your breasts and think you may want to do something about it, I encourage you to at least come in for a no-pressure consultation.

To learn more about breast lifts, please explore information and educational resources on my website, please click on: breast lift and breast implant.

To schedule a breast lift consultation, please contact the office at 781-934-2200.
