New Smart Lipo Procedure Promises Less Scarring, Better Results

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — There’s a new alternative to traditional liposuction that promises less down time, minimal scarring and better results.

“Smart Lipo” is a procedure that uses a laser fiber enclosed in a thin tube that is inserted through a small incision in the skin to remove unwanted fat.

It only takes 45 minutes and most people can return to work the following day.

“The beauty of this procedure is the fact that we can do it under local anesthesia,” said Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Nicholas Nikolov.

Smart Lipo costs about $5,000 per area of the body.

Patient Seana Ryan said she was happy with the procedure.

“I’m not really interested in doing anything with the knife per se,” Ryan said. “I just want to do little things that will make me look natural.”

Monsters and Critics / Cliffside Malibu Addiction Expert on Nick Stahl’s Rehab Exit June 20, 2012

Addiction Expert on Nick Stahl’s Rehab Exit


Actor Nick Stahl, who appeared in “Terminator: Rise of the Machines,” is reportedly missing?.

iThe actor entered a rehabilitation facility in late May and was meant to spend at least 30 days inside. Both TMZ.com and E! Online report that Stahl’s friends and family are worried after Stahl left the facility against his doctors’ advice over a week ago. He is now reported missing.

Stahl reportedly went to stay with a friend after leaving rehab and was then seen around downtown Los Angeles before going back to a friend’s house. He has not been seen since he left that house on Thursday.

An unnamed source told E!, “Now he’s disappeared. We can’t find him anywhere,” they said of the so-far futile search efforts. “He has not made contact with anyone. We are all just desperately looking for him … Everyone just wants him to come home. It’s a terrible situation. We are searching, but we have no solid leads.”

The actor also has limited access to his 2-year-old daughter, Marlo, due to his alleged drug and alcohol abuse.

Frequent expert advisor in matters of addiction and recovery to Monsters and Critics, Richard Taite, President and CEO of Cliffside_Malibu, shared his thoughts on when people give up too soon in a rehabilitation environment:

“Anytime someone leaves a facility against treatment advice it’s sad. What usually happens is the patient starts feeling his feelings, the ones he or she used to medicate over and needs to get loaded. Top-notch facilities that make containment a priority have fewer instances of patients leaving against treatment advice.

But this happens at every facility… And it’s heartbreaking every time.”

Expert Opinion: Is Lindsay Lohan’s “Exhaustion” Something More?

On Friday it emerged that Lindsay Lohan was found non-responsive in her Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Marina del Rey, with her representative, Steve Honig, citing “exhaustion” for her apparent collapse.

He went on to add that Lindsay has been “working a gruelling schedule for the last couple of days” on the Elizabeth Taylor biopic.

Then, on Saturday, she was pictured with dark, puffy eyes and a bloated face, as the long days seem to be taking a toll on the 25-year-old.

But is it work, or play that is affecting the star?

We consulted addiction expert Richard Taite, President and CEO of Cliffside Malibu, who has his own theories on what may well be going on with the actress, whose problems with substance abused have long been chronicled.

Below, he shares his thoughts…
