Dr. Andre Panossian, who has recently joined the prestigious team of fine surgeons at Rox Center in Beverly Hills, is not just a board-certified plastic surgeon and a leading educator in plastic and reconstructive surgery — he’s also a specialist in surgery for children, with procedures addressing a wide range of issues. Dr. Panossian can address more minor problems from prominent ears, vascular anomalies (birthmarks), and cleft lips, to more disfiguring cases involving severe trauma or birth deformities.

Among Dr. Panossian’s several skills, pediatric plastic surgery ranks high on the list. This growing, specialized field differs from adult plastic surgery in significant ways. For example, the surgeon must keep in mind the child’s development and the biological and physical changes that come with maturity.

Also, a child’s plastic surgery may be a result of syndromes and genetic abnormalities, so the surgeon and the medical team must account for the role disease may play in treatment. And as with any form of plastic surgery, regardless of the patient’s age, aesthetics play a role — that is, creating a pleasing appearance, no matter which part of the body is treated. These concerns are familiar to Dr. Panossian, and he has strived to work within these constraints to craft the best surgical solution for each patient.

At Rox Center, Dr. Panossian is known for his skills in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, breast, and body, but his knowledge and expertise extends further. In his pediatric plastic surgery, he also attends to birthmarks, tumors, lumps, hemangioma, scars, trauma, prominent ears, cleft lip and palate, burns, hand differences, facial paralysis, and vascular anomalies and malformations.

Dr. Panossian has successfully performed more than 3,000 surgeries on children, and over the course of his career, he has channeled his creativity and artistry to develop and perfect techniques that lead to the most natural and efficient results in pediatric plastic surgery.

Educational Background

To that end, Dr. Panossian has built upon his education at UCLA and training at Tufts University School of Medicine with extra research and specialization at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and USC.

Dr. Panossian also joined the Division of Plastic & Maxillofacial Surgery at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, founding and serving as director of the Facial Paralysis Center, which brings together physical therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, otolaryngologists, and plastic surgeons to apply their multidisciplinary outlook to take care of children afflicted with facial paralysis.

Dr. Panossian brought this same approach to the Vascular Anomalies Center, which he helped establish and continued to serve as co-director. On top of these duties, Dr. Panossian also teaches and mentors residents and medical students at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California and Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

Traveling the World to Teach and to Heal

Dr. Panossian’s work has taken him outside of the United States, as well. He lectures to residents and other doctors in training around the world, and his medical work has taken him to post-earthquake Haiti, Vietnam, Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay, and West Africa, among other locations. He regularly works with Operation Smile, which provides free surgeries to repair cleft lip, cleft palate, and other facial deformities for children around the globe. Without this surgery, these children are at risk of dying before their first birthday; the ones who survive may not be able to eat, speak, socialize, or smile, and are often shunned and rejected by their communities.

Dr. Panossian is on the board for the Gondobay Manga Foundation, a nongovernmental organization dedicated to improving lives in the country of Sierra Leone in West Africa.

For his work, Dr. Panossian has appeared on Good Morning America (ABC), The Learning Channel, KABC, The KTLA Prime News (Los Angeles), and the front page of The Los Angeles Times to discuss smile reconstruction for patients with facial paralysis, twin separation, hand reconstruction and other deformities. He has also served as a medical adviser for popular TV shows, including Grey’s Anatomy and Nip/Tuck.

Dr. Andre Panossian — there’s more to him than a medical degree and board certification. This doctor has helped advance the latest techniques in pediatric plastic surgery both in the United States and around the world. The Rox Center is proud to have him on board and at work with patients.

The ‘Sounds of GREAT Britain’ are just what you would hear and picture if you were there: The pouring of a cup of tea, a black cab beeping and the chimes of Big Ben. So British! These are all being used in a new TV and interactive online advert to inspire the world to choose Britain for their next holiday. You won’t be able to resist!

The advert’s soundtrack - Feel the Love - which pieces the audio experience together, has been supplied by BRIT nominated band, Rudimental. Traditional British sounds and activities are set against Rudimental’s hit soundtrack, representing a modern, contemporary Britain.

The advert features a whole range of landmarks, people, locations and experiences, including a Dartmouth Steam Train, the sound of a Wimbledon tennis crowd, the glamour of The Goring, the buzz at LoveBox festival and the striking medieval fortification at Caerphilly Castle.

The digital version of the advert goes a step further, allowing users worldwide to create their personalized advert and itinerary of GREAT Britain. Having completed their edit, they are taken to find out more about their chosen itinerary on VisitBritain’s LoveWall, or they can choose to share with friends via Facebook, Twitter and Weibo.

The project is commissioned by VisitBritain and created by ad agency Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R, launching across key markets USA, Brazil, China, India, Gulf states and throughout Europe from 17 February.

Joss Croft, Marketing Director at VisitBritain, said: “We want to involve people in creating their own British experience – first online where they can become the director of their own bespoke tourism ad, and then in reality following their individual journey across Britain according to their own interests and inspirations.

“This ad is something a little bit different and we hope it conveys the humour and character of a modern, confident Britain.”

Vicky Jacobs, Managing Director at RKCR/Y&R, said: “We’re inviting users to explore the rich diversity of Britain through sound – both the sounds of individual British locations and the soundtrack of Rudimental, who really do represent the eclectic contemporary Sound of GREAT Britain.”

Only last week, VisitBritain launched its first ever bespoke American TV ad working alongside Expedia, the largest online travel agency in the world.

The TV ad, filmed in Scotland, Wales and London, draws upon the parallel between fairytales of castles, knights and queens to the real world. “Find Your Storybook” demonstrates that, through Expedia’s superior technology, you can write your own story and bring whatever you imagine to life.

The campaign and TV ad, kicked off during CBS-TV’s special, “The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles,” and will also be seen across American networks including the Oscars, the Sochi Winter Olympics and during the ad breaks of various prime-time chat and sport shows.

The Goring, Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh, Stonehenge, Lake Windermere, Dartmouth steam train and the English Riviera, Royal Albert Hall, Shakespeare’s Globe, Wimbledon audience, Harrods, Gleneagles, Tate Liverpool, Buckingham Palace, Lamb & Flag pub, Soho, Curry House – Hajees Spices in Birmingham, The Warehouse Project, St James’ Park & Royal Parks, Big Ben, Wellington Barracks, Lovebox Festival, Caerphilly Castle

Distinctive Assets Founder Lash Fary with the fabulous gift bag the nominees of the Oscars will receive!

Lights, cameras, gift bags! The stars and studios aren’t the only ones preparing for Hollywood’s biggest night. Distinctive Assets is also busy preparing the Everyone Wins at the Ocsars’ gift bags for all the Oscars nominees, including Sandra Bullock, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, and more…

True to its name, Everyone Wins with these brimming gift packages, valued at more than $80,000 and filled with enough free goodies to appeal to every aspect of the nominees’ lives, from health to beauty to entertainment to home décor and more.

As the leader in celebrity swag, Distinctive Assets knows how to take away some of the sting for those who won’t leave with the golden trophy — but can walk away with a generous haul of goodies.

Sure to turn the nominees’ heads, Distinctive Assets’ collection of luxury getaways covers a wide variety of locales, terrains, and interests.

Best of Las Vegas Package

Within the United States, Distinctive Assets keeps the stars as close as Las Vegas — albeit Las Vegas at its brimming best. The Everyone Wins gift bag includes the Best of Las Vegas Package, and “best” is no exaggeration. Cookies and cupcakes from Gimme Some Sugar Bake Shoppe and the Cupcakery will whet the honorees’ appetites, but they’d better leave room for more.  Gift certificates to Hash House a Go Go, Buddy V’s (aka the Cake Boss) at the Venetian, Honey Salt, and Rose. Rabbit. Lie. are also included to fill your tummy and quench your thirst.

Of course, this is Las Vegas, so the night is still young, and Distinctive Assets delivers on your evening’s entertainment options with tickets to shows by Terry Fator, the Chippendales, George Wallace, MO5AIC, Pearl at The Palms; Pia Zadora; House of Blues; Louie Anderson, Reggae in the Desert, Meat Loaf, Boyz II Men, and the Jacksons, with several meet-and-greet opportunities included.

Looking for more specialized shows? Check out the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop with a meet and greet, catch an NBA Summer League game, and even indulge in adult entertainment at Raack ‘N Roll, X Burlesque, and X Rocks at the Rio.

Then cap it off with the Riviera Package, spending two nights in the penthouse suite, with dinner for two at R Steak, and two VIP show tickets, all courtesy of Distinctive Assets for a package worth $9,000.00

Hawaii

The nominees will enjoy the luxury of Koloa Landing Resort in Hawaii, where they’ll spend five nights in a two-bedroom villa located on the south shore of Kauai.

Mexico

Our neighbors to the north and the south beckon as well. Distinctive Assets has lined up a stay at Imanta Resorts near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, putting you in an opulent Ocean Casa suite with a view of the Pacific Ocean.

Canada

The beauty of Canada hasn’t been forgotten either; Oscar nominees can take the Rocky Mountaineer, starting in the stunning city of Vancouver, British Columbia, then taking a leisurely train ride through Canada’s verdant forests to the final destination, the historic city of Banff, Alberta.

Walk Japan

Finally, if your wanderlust is really acting up, break out your passport and your translation app and look east, as Distinctive Assets brings you together with Walk Japan. These specialized tours take travelers off the beaten path to undiscovered and overlooked corners of the ancient kingdom. The tours are National Geographic approved, as well. There’s no way you can go wrong with Walk Japan or Distinctive Assets.

The stars’ beauty secrets are of course highly prized and well guarded, but Distinctive Assets sheds a light on the mystery with a full roster of beauty and fitness goodies for the Everyone Wins gift bag.

Steamist brings the spa to your home with a full, self-selected collection of pampering amenities for your shower. Steam treatments, aromatherapy, chromatherapy, and wireless in-shower are all part of the package to make your shower time as soothing as possible.

In addition, celebrity acupuncturist/nutritionist Heather Lounsbury will make a house call or an on-location visit to the nominee’s home for acupuncture, an herbal or nutritional consultation, aromatherapy, and massage.

Huntley Drive Fitness complements the holistic treatment with 10 personal training sessions at its exclusive training facility. In addition to serious workouts, Huntley Drive Fitness offers nutrition counseling and physical therapy aimed at a diverse clientele.

On the Beauty Front

Acure skincare products are made from organic, sustainable ingredients, and the company is family owned and operated. The products have never been tested on animals, and they contain no sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, harmful preservatives, or artificial colors, all with the customers’ health in mind.

Rounding out the beauty package are M3K Beauty, including M3K Optimized Matrix Regenerative Hand Crème for healthy, vibrant skin.

Makeup Studio by Diane Capt, known for its blissful organic line, including Wonder Glow Organic Lipgloss.

A complete sampling of the cult favorite Mane ‘N Tail horse-to-human crossover hair care line.

For Health Benefits

Nominees can indulge in Dosha Pops, six flavors of herbal tea-based lollipops inspired by Ayurvedic medicine

Blossom Blends Tea, created in Australia with the globe’s best handpicked herbs and flowers.

Hydroxycut gummies, protein bars, and protein shakes. Losing weight tastes better than ever when you can indulge in delicious gummies; filling, yet guilt-free bars; and specially balanced lean shakes aimed at getting the practitioner to their ideal weight.

Accessories make any ensemble, and Distinctive Assets’ gift bag offers a wide range of style choices for the nominees:

High-end, American-made Max Martin shoes, Swiss-made Slow Jo watches, Jan Lewis Design bangle bracelets, and a Jitseu leather handbag check off all the fashion and style boxes.

For a homier touch, CherryT Knit & Co. mittens are practical and warm, while retaining a sophisticated appeal.

Want some irreverence? Look no further than Mace Brand’s set of his-and-hers Mace Pepper Guns (hot pink for her, camouflage for him) for protection, in a convenient, fashion-forward form.

Finally, protect all these textiles with Adept Armor, a safe, eco-friendly nanotechnology solution that protects fabrics from water and oil damage.

The Distinctive Assets gift bag doesn’t skimp on the food and spirits either:

Chocolatines introduces a new take on wine and chocolate pairings, offering wine-infused chocolates with a savory complement: chianti and kalamatas olive mendiant; shiraz with chocolate-dipped bacon; and Champagne brut with bleu cheese bark.

Staying on the wine tip, Cannonball Wine Company pairs 40 years of classical wine-making with a new outlook on flavors, producing the 2012 Cannonball Sonoma County Chardonnay.

Looking for more potent spirits? Try the Aviv 613 Vodka, a smooth, new vodka distilled from wheat, barley, olives, figs, dates, grapes, and pomegranates.

Distinctive Assets didn’t overlook the sweet tooth:

Rouge Maple is not only delicious, it’s 100% pure organic maple syrup that melds with all your favorite flavors.

Betty Jane Homemade Candies takes pecans, almonds, chocolate, caramel, and more to create tasty, delightful goodies, including specially blended caramels and toffees.

How about a guilt-free indulgence? Bee Free Honee isn’t honey at all; instead, it’s made from U.S.-grown, non-GMO, organic apples. This vegan “honey” comes in five flavors and can be cooked in all the same ways. No one will know the difference unless you tell them.

For Hollywood pets, Distinctive Assets has a special collection for them:

Nominees can make a 10,000-meal donation of Halo Spot’s Stew (Ellen DeGeneres’ natural pet food) to their favorite rescue or shelter with the included gift certificate.

For use closer to home, Simon’s Happy Pet Shampoo is deluxe, organic product specially formulated for furry friends.

A year’s supply of Epic Pet Health will improve your pet’s quality of life through electrolyte therapy. These natural products meet the highest standards: human-grade, odorless, and tasteless, intended to be applied directly food, water, and the body.

Ever contemporary, the Distinctive Assets gift bag includes a couple of electronic treats for the Oscar nominees.

The Narrative Clip is a small automatic camera that compiles your photographs for later searching and sharing.

Fitness and electronics come together in the Polar Loop, which tracks daily activity and exercise levels, as well as sleep patterns, for instant feedback and regular inactivity alerts (if needed).

Certainly, entertainers could use some entertainment from time to time, and Digital Assets delivers with two unexpected options.

Le Petit Cirque (the only all-kid pro Cirque troupe in the whole of North America) might seem like children’s fare, but will in fact appeal to — and inspire — youngsters of all ages.

Also, “Loaded: The Story of Ghost”, is not only the first graphic novel in the “Loaded” series, it’s also penned by the multi-talented Mark Batson, a Grammy-nominated songwriter, producer, and composer.

Finally, Oscar’s elites can fill out their swag bags with several home accents — many of which happen to pull double duty in the hearth.

For example, the bright, cheery Slimware line of plates and bowls also happens to help with portion control.

Green Garmento garment bags can be used again and again in place of the plastic bags from the dry cleaner — and save the planet, one outfit at a time.

Wrag Wrap boosts the green content with fabric gift wrap that can be recycled instead of tossed away moments after the unveiling.

Then again, sometimes an object can serve exactly one purpose, and that’s just fine.

The signed, framed, limited-edition 100 percent archival Gizara Arts print included in the Distinctive Assets gift bag has a single job: to lend a striking, classical look to the home. Rest assured that the artful print fulfills this goal — and then some.

The big night is almost here, as Hollywood holds its breath to hear the winners announced for the year’s finest achievements in film. Careers will be made, crowned, and validated, but no matter whose name is called out, Distinctive Assets makes sure each and every nominee comes away with a hefty show of appreciation for all their hard work. Congratulations, again! And there’s no denying Everyone Wins with the Distinctive Assets Oscar Swag Bag!

“Find Your Storybook” demonstrates that, through Expedia’s superior technology, you can write and create your town story,  bringing imagination to life and creating memories for life.  It’s like having your own private travel concierge.

Love is pure science! Put some sexy pizazze into Valentine’s Day and show your love your adventurous side! LA Chef and Aphrodisiac Expert, Jeff Torin of PDA Aphrodisiac Cuisine, is offering something LA has never seen before – An aphrodisiac dining experience for Valentine’s Day.

PDA Aphrodisiac Cuisine will be taking over Lucy’s 51 in Toluca Lake and transforming into the most romantic, tantalizing dining experience LA has ever seen. This aphrodisiac culinary experience is comprised of an 8- or 17-course tasting menu designed to enhance your performance and heighten the sensual senses.

PDA Aphrodisiac Expert Chef Jeff Torin

The first question that likely comes to mind is, “What makes this an aphrodisiac?” Chef Torin explains, “Each dish includes often overlooked or underestimated ingredients that have been found to contain a variety of sexual performance-enhancing properties that produce increased blood flow, heightened nerve ending sensitivity, improved stamina, intensified pheromones, and/or increase sexual appetite.

While ingredients such as figs push higher levels of O2 into the blood, and spicy chilies use capsaicin to increase nerve ending sensitivity, others stimulate the senses through smells and taste like licorice, fresh herbs, and vanilla.

By combining the sciences of biology, psychology, and nutrition, we can create a delicious culinary outlet to assist in sexual well-being and performance.”

This one-night affair offers only two seating times, 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm, so Chef Torin encourages foodies to book their reservations in advance.
