Cosmetic Tax
Friday, December 18th, 2009We at APS encourage you to get involved in opposing the proposed cosmetic surgery tax which is now part of the Healthcare reform bill being considered in the Senate. This tax would not only include cosmetic surgery, but Botox and dermal fillers. This tax is trying to put cosmetic procedures in the arena of a vice such as tobacco and alcohol which are taxed because of adverse health effects. It discriminates against women as well as the middle class since the average income of a cosmetic patient is now $60,000 per year.
The reporting of this tax is a violation of your right to privacy. Similar taxes at the state level have failed to collect the expected revenue. New Jersey actually lost $3.39 for every $1 collected in cosmetic taxes over a 2 year period.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has more information on their website here.
We encourage you to call 1-877-221-8207 which is a phone line to connect you to your Senators office to voice your opposition to this tax.
The possible effective date is Jan 1, 2010, so the time to act is now.
News Flash!
Friday, November 6th, 2009We received a memo from the makers of Evolence that they would no longer be manufacturing this filler option. For those of you who don’t know about Evolence it is filler designed for the nasolabial folds. It is a porcine product. There is no problem with the product, it is perfectly safe and effective. This was purely a business decision. I am sorry we will no longer have this option available to our patients. We however continue to have wonderful fillers available to patients such as Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse. More are being developed as we speak. These in combination with Dysport and Botox are great options to rejuvenate your look. Most of these products are offering a rebate. Call our office at 913-451-3722 for more information.
