Dr. Sydney Reese Coleman is a board certified plastic surgeon practicing in Manhattan since 1986 and is an assistant clinical professor at NYU and the University of Pittsburgh. He is best known as the originator of a successful method for grafting fat.

Soon after his first successful attempts at fat grafting, he observed an improvement in the quality of aging or sun-damaged skin. Later he witnessed the reversal of pathological conditions such as scarring, therapeutic radiation injury and steroid atrophy after fat grafting. There is now evidence that the stem cells or messengers in all fat tissues aid in the repair of tissues by bringing in a new blood supply or by directly affecting damaged or aging structures. As such, fat may be a repair organ for the body.

Cees Penning
I graduated from the Graphic Academy in Amsterdam and worked for 25 years in New York with all the major cosmetic companies making the models in the photographs look absolutely perfect. This form of art was all done by hand until about ten years ago when the computer was able to do this work. Cosmetic permanent makeup was the closest form of art to my former profession. I really enjoy this kind of art form and it gives me so much gratification when the client is very happy and looks so much better. Cosmetic permanent makeup is an art, and that is why you see so many bad jobs out there. It makes people reluctant to do any permanent makeup procedure themselves. I can say that 50% of my work is fixing permanent procedures that have gone bad. I have been working with movie and television personalities, models, and regular people who like to look good 24 hours a day. If you have any questions call me at 305-467-0065. View Guest page

Thomas L. Roberts
Professional Service… From the professional standpoint, I have developed 3-4 new concepts and surgical procedures in plastic surgery and have now been asked to speak and demonstrate these surgical procedures all over the United States and in 34 countries on 6 continents. This has permitted me to bring a higher level of plastic surgical care to residents in the Upstate than has ever been available before. (I have also been asked by our national society to teach courses on the laser, micro fat and other grafting techniques I helped to develop.) I served as its director for the first 12 years, and it continues to be one of the more active teams in the State. I was asked to serve as the State Chairman of the Medical Advisory committee for the SC Children’s Rehabilitative Services (cleft lip, palate, etc.) from 1988-1992 and have been elected to serve in every office in the SC Society of Plastic Surgeons, including 2 terms as president. In 1980, I founded the first new cleft lip and palate team in South Carolina in over 30 years. Community Service… In 1994, I organized and carried out the first medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic and every year since then expect for the year my two kids got married and I had to have knee surgery. I still help organize one of the two medical teams to the DR, which includes 30-40 people – surgeons, orthopedists, gynecologists, urologists, nurses, nursing/pre-med and medical students, as well as general helpers. Typically, on these medical mission trips we will perform 30-60 major surgical procedures, which really change these folks’ lives, as there is no other specialized care available. We even see adults with cleft lip and palate who are considered the village freaks and shunned; but we help them begin the transition to an adult with dignity and the palate surgery can give them relatively normal speech, where they had been almost unintelligible previously. These are very rewarding times and my family and I have gained just more than we have given. View Guest page
