pproximately one third of the population suffers from some level of TMJ disorder. Many who suffer with headaches, chronic neck or facial pain or even ringing in the ears do not know their bite and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are the source of their pain. They needlessly suffer for years. The TMJ is the most complex joint in the body, yet only about 10% of dentists have received any postdoctoral training in the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ disorders. Dr. Rye is highly trained in the latest
dental neuromuscular technologies and advances for diagnosis and treatment of the TMJ. Depending on the severity of the problem, there are several treatment options available. Dr. Rye knows what treatments work best. He treats the causes of the pain, while other dentists may just manage the symptoms. Dr. Rye’s results are often immediate, dramatic, and life-changing. If you suffer from TMJ pain, contact Dr. Rye for a consultation. You can read and watch patient testimonials at ryesmilesforlife.com.

A
facelift can make a patient look 10 to 15 years younger and last 11-13 years. Dr. Talal Munasifi has performed more than 3,000 facelift surgeries and is renowned as an expert in the procedure. He believes the key to each surgery is individualization. “Not everyone has the same needs in facial rejuvenation; therefore, each surgery is different in technique.” Dr. Munasifi served as Chairman and President of the medical staff at Virginia Hospital Center — one of America’s Top 100 Hospitals. He founded the Advanced Plastic
134
Surgery Center and is a founding member of Capital Plastic Surgeons. He and his team offer an array of other state-of-the-art surgical and non-surgical treatments. In all procedures, Dr. Munasifi has an uncompromising dedication to vibrant, youthful, natural looking results. “I will always give my honest and professional opinion about what you really need,” says the surgeon who has been honored and accredited by Washingtonian , Castle Connolly, American College of Surgeons, Medical Society of Virginia, and Virginia Society of Plastic Surgeons.

The designer should recognize this reality and respect it enough to create something that reflects the style of the owner. The look and feel of the environments we inhabit greatly affect our mood and sense of well-being. We
should stubbornly insist on trying new things, because good design is embedded not only in simplicity but a willingness to innovate. In the end, success will be determined by the creation of something new and refined. Even classic elements should be able to accept a well thought out alteration. Hope and confidence are cornerstones of achievement. The optimism of any designer is rooted in the zeal and tenacity to entice the creative genius out of every endeavor. We never know what miracles are possible until we challenge ourselves to give our best effort...

Although both laparoscopic and robotic enhanced laparoscopic surgery allow most patients to go home the same day and return to work in 1-2 weeks, robotics offers technological advances from which patients benefit. Its 10-x magnification, dual 3D visualization, and fully wristed instruments allow for unparalleled precision and accuracy, making even complex cases easier to perform.
