JUPITER, Fla., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Jeffrey LaGrasso (), Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Craniofacial Surgeon, has retained TransMedia Group so that he can share the latest medical techniques, trends and warnings, not only with his elite clientele, but with men and women everywhere.

"Dr. LaGrasso wants to inform consumers, for example, about some of the less desirable consequences the economic recession is having on plastic surgery," said TransMedia Group Vice President Jennifer Weinstein. "We'll be reaching out to multimedia outlets and reporting on the disturbing trend that some plastic surgeons are recommending more affordable, but less effective, products and procedures in an effort to keep their struggling practices afloat."

"Another story we're developing features Dr. LaGrasso's top medical techniques and procedures designed to help men and women stay in the workforce longer, now that so many have seen their 401k's devastated by the deepening recession," said Weinstein. "He's seeing a spike in aging baby boomers who want to invest in appearing more youthful and attractive for employment purposes."

The media campaign will present Dr. LaGrasso not only as a pioneer in plastic surgery, but will highlight his remarkable achievements and training in Pediatric Plastic and Craniofacial surgery. One of the surgeons acclaimed in 2006 for separating conjoined twins attached at the stomach and hip, Dr. LaGrasso completed his Craniofacial and Pediatric Surgery fellowship at the prestigious Children's Hospital ofLos Angeles, was the Director of Craniofacial Surgery for the state ofSouth Carolina and performed countless procedures at the world-renowned Cedars-Sinai Medical Center inBeverly Hills.

"In addition to stunning cosmetic procedures, Dr. LaGrasso performs life-altering reconstructive surgeries on breast cancer survivors and children with complex deformities. We'll have many media opportunities in many topic areas," added Weinstein.

Dr. LaGrasso has been published in the Journal of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, named the "Most Trusted Cosmetic Surgeon" inColumbia, SC, and has been featured on news programs, most notably for his role in advancing pediatric plastic surgery care.
