Dr. Janjua's segment will be aired on the New York WCBS-TV channel 2 on the night of Saturday, March 25, 2023, from 7:30-8:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time).
Janjua Facial Surgery announces that Dr. Janjua was interviewed by American Health Front to discuss his niche nose job technique. Dr. Janjua explained the niche rhinoplasty technique called 'Alarplasty', also known as nostril narrowing or nostril reduction. The procedure highlights discussed include who can benefit from this procedure and how it is different than a regular nose job. Dr. Janjua stated, "All of my African American patients who wanted alarplasty were told by other plastic surgeons to go for a full nose job. But that was not their concern. They just wanted smaller nostrils and that is what alarplasty does." Many people have traveled from all over the United States and from other countries to get this 30-minute procedure without going to sleep.

Freyja Healthcare Brings First-of-Its-Kind 2mm Abdominal-Access Device to Laparoscopic Surgery to Further Innovation in Fast-Growing Women’s Health Market
BOSTON, May 8, 2024 (Newswire.com)

Freyja Healthcare, an early-stage medical device company focused on developing a robust product portfolio of highly innovative products for women’s health, today announced that its novel VereSee device received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Clearance from the FDA marks a critical step in enabling Freyja and VereSee — the first and only 2mm, safe abdominal-access video-entry device for laparoscopic surgery — to bring further innovation in the fast-growing women’s health market. VereSee will reinvigorate a category that has not seen innovation in over three decades.
Founded by Jón Ívar Einarsson, MD, PhD, MPH, and Gaby Moawad, MD, FACOG, Freyja’s mission is to raise the standard of women’s health in both surgical and in-office procedures, enabling physicians to deliver safe and effective care. As the company’s first novel product, the VereSee device features a proprietary design engineered to be simple for the surgeon, safe for the patient, and highly differentiated from the current standard of care. The company now has four products in advanced stages of development, 17 granted patents and 21 pending patents.
“From the beginning, I’ve been impressed with Freyja’s mission to improve gynecologic solutions for women and the providers who take care of them. With this first product, Freyja is bringing meaningful innovation to a category ready for change,” said Kim Rodriguez, longtime Freyja Executive Chairman and former CEO of Acessa Health.
There are 4.8 million laparoscopic surgeries performed annually in the United States. Abdominal entry is the most dangerous step of laparoscopic and robotic surgery in women’s health, and in all laparoscopic surgery across all specialty areas. This dangerous step results in one patient death and eight injuries in the U.S. each day[1].
“The standard of care is dangerous and outdated. Initial entry is often done blindly with Veres needles or a 5-12mm optical trocar,” said Jón Ívar Einarsson, MD, co-founder and interim CEO of Freyja. “Damaging the bowel or vasculature because of blind entry can cause significant harm, even death, if undetected.”
As a part of the FDA clearance process, Freyja performed extensive testing and documentation of the safety and efficacy of the product, validating the company’s confidence in the design of its VereSee product.
“FDA clearance has been a long process for us, and we know that this is one of the largest barriers to entry for new products in this category,” said Gaby Moawad, MD, co-founder and Board Director of Freyja. “However, we understand the importance of these devices being held to the highest standards of safety and quality. We are proud of the work our team has done to reach this milestone for Freyja.”
Freyja will soon begin initial commercialization of the VereSee device, with broad availability expected in the second half of 2024.
