The Biggest Misunderstanding Regarding Weight Loss

Dr. Yoho has been an observer of the weight loss/large volume liposuction scene for many years, and he’s also an aggressive amateur athlete who is well past his days where he was very accomplished in anything. In any case, he has some observations regarding diet and exercise that he’d like to share. 

The biggest misconception about diet and exercise is that the exercise is the critical component. Diet is much more important, and especially with women, any attempt to lose weight with just exercise without regarding the diet carefully is doomed to failure. There are some men that can tolerate heavy exercise and be successful at weight loss and ignore their diet; however, these individuals often get injured at “boot camps” and other excessively aggressive exercise regimens. One of the fittest and best muscled individuals known to Dr. Yoho, a semi-professional body-builder, exercises at his body-building only about four days a week for a half an hour. That said, his diet is what Dr. Yoho calls the “Nazi Diet.” He never has a cupcake to save his life, never eats any chocolate, and never eats any refined sugar of any kind. He restricts himself to what would be regarded as very strict health food.

The other misconception is that diet pills and injections are a smart idea. While these can help in the short term, the long-term issue with them is well known, that is, recurrence of the weight problem.

Of course, the long-term results of gastric bypass surgery of any kind are unknown and probably much worse than the proponents (who have an enormous financial conflict of interest) would tell you.

What Dr. Yoho does recommend heavily is “programmed diets” such as Jenny Craig and others, which give you the food and portion-control your consumption by showing you exactly what it is to eat just the right amount and the right composition of different foods. These, while not easy, do have the potential for long-term success and long-term training of the individual. Dr. Yoho himself uses a form of a programmed diet and buys his meals that he eats during the week from SterlingCuisine.com, a local food service that gives him excellent nutrition at a reasonable price.

I’m Under Thirty Years Old or I Look Under Thirty Years Old:

What can Botox, facial fillers, and facial cosmetic surgery do for me?

Unrelated to medical spa services!! Dr. Yoho's daughter after a gritty race.



We frequently work with people who look absolutely great before we start with them. For these people, looking fantastic is the goal. Many options are available. Facial fillers, especially in the lips, are quite popular. Cheek implants can give exotic looks to people whose faces look good to begin with but not extraordinary. Botox elevates the brows even in an individual with no wrinkles because it relaxes the muscles that ordinarily pull down the middle of the forehead and the side of the forehead, thus allowing the brow muscles to elevate the brows. This is a very pleasing look in young women. 

 So if you’re interested in looking your best, we have something for you. Even if you look great already.

All About Our Botox Expertise

Dr. Yoho relaxes in Argentina. The crowd behind him does not represent our Botox work!!

Did you know that Jeremy Romaine, P.A., who has worked with Dr. Yoho for over a decade, trains physicians in proper Botox usage? Our techniques are derived from the Carruthers, who pioneered Botox for cosmetic facial work. We’re doing what we believe to be the same dosing and application techniques that they use currently in their office. (And I might add, at prices that are probably three times ours.) The key to Botox is the proper quantity, and each of our patients gets about a half a bottle, which is a significant dose, and proper placement with no skimping in the proper areas and not overdoing the areas that should be left alone.

The thing patients enjoy the most about Botox is the brow arch, which is a natural occurrence of the numbing or decreased function of the muscles pulling down in the face, which have Botox injected into them. The frontalis, or muscles right above the eyebrows, are activated for some reason and these pull the eyebrows up and produce a very pleasing effect. The object is not to completely eliminate all the motion in the brow, but to get rid of the key wrinkles in the middle of the brow and at the sides of the eyes while allowing this arch effect to happen naturally.

Please come in for a free consultation with Jeremy and see what you can expect from your expert Botox application.

Dr. Yoho Performs Pure Local Anesthetic Liposuction Too

Dr. Yoho on the edge

Although most of our patients like some sort of light sedation, we can do breast augmentation, liposuction, and eyelid procedures with pure local anesthetic. We often will give a relaxation pill prior to this, but local anesthetic does the job, and if you’re a calm and relaxed individual who doesn’t want any intravenous medicine, we’re certainly happy to help you using the pure local anesthetic liposuction technique. A few of our patients choose this method, and we can make you perfectly comfortable with it. It does take a little bit of talking during the procedure and hand-holding, but pain isn’t a significant problem at all; in fact, most of our patients have no pain and are able to go home almost immediately after the procedure is complete. Please let us know if this is what you want and we’ll be happy to oblige you.
