  • Be Realistic! How Technology Affects Your Perception of Beauty

    Years ago, actresses were glamorous, larger-than-life movie icons and role models that women looked up to and wanted to be like. But, now that you can follow celebrities on Twitter, read about their makeups and breakups on their blogs and in the tabloids, movie stars are becoming more like...you....

  • Our Aging Face - Part 3 - Aesthetic Solutions

    This is the third and final installment discussing the aging patterns of our face. The first two blogs chronicled the process and factors affecting it. Recommendations were made to slow the aging process through lifestyle changes. For the sake of completeness, this last post offers advice on how to...

  • Our Aging Face Part 2; Engaging The Enemy!

    This is the second article about the inevitable aging process of our face. In Part 1, I categorized and described the phases of aging according to decade.The intrinsic and extrinsic aging pathways were defined; Intrinsic aging is essentially genetic and extrinsic aging is dependent and influenced by...

  • Our Aging Face

    There are few things other than death and taxes that are certain. The aging process is one of them, the inevitable and predictable result of living longer. The manner and degree that we age over the decades of life can be explained, understood, and even manipulated by our lifestyle. This is the...

  • 10 Reasons Why Getting A Dog Is Better Than Getting Facelift!

    I have had dogs in my life since I was a little boy, and I have been a plastic surgeon for over 25 years. So, I consider myself an expert in both categories. While I can rattle off the advantages of a facelift for someone who is an appropriate candidate, a lot more people are candidates to enjoy the...

  • Is neck lift surgery effective?

    Mini facelift surgery with attention to the neck can be extremely effective in patients with most indications, including sagging skin, excessive fat, or prominent muscle bands. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Is a nose job painful?

    Nose job surgery is not extremely painful afterwards, and most people describe it as more of a discomfort because of swelling and packing inside the nose. These issues are easily handled with pain medication. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Can plastic surgery help with my scar?

    Sometimes scar revision can improve the scar on your forehead, however, it will never be able to be completely removed. Good luck. READ MORE

  • What's the best skin tightening treatment for the face?

    Most so-called non-invasive skin tightening procedures of the face or body really don’t work and I have treated many patients who have been unhappy with their results afterwards. Options for tightening the face include some sort of mini or traditional facelift, still the gold standard, or possibly fillers. Call anytime for a virtual consultation to further discuss this issue. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Should I get a second opinion before plastic surgery?

    Cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery can improve the size and shape of your nose, however it is unrealistic to ask for a specifically shaped nose. I often times have to explain to patients requesting the exact same nose they have fallen in love with on a famous actress or actor. The general idea is to perhaps remove a bump on the nose or refine the nasal tip, however one never wishes to drastically change the shape of a nose to the point of absurdity. See Michael Jackson! Call anytime to schedule a virtual consultation to further discuss this matter if you so desire. Good luck. READ MORE

  • What is the best type of facelift procedure?

    In person or a virtual consultation would be needed to confirm my advice, however at your age, a mini facelift would be the best option. My favorite technique is the MACS short scar Mini-Facelift. Developed in Europe, it is the ideal approach for the younger patient, not ready for a full facelift, or patients who desire a less invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time. It addresses both the mid face area (especially the jowls) as well as the neck, if needed. Call anytime for a virtual consultation to further discuss this matter if you so desire. Good luck.

  • Can a teenager get a nose job?

    Typically it is important to be certain that you are fully grown prior to nose job surgery. In girls I usually wait until age 16, in boys sometimes a bit older. Call anytime for a virtual consultation to further discuss this matter if you so desire. Good luck. READ MORE

  • What is the fastest way to recover from eyelid surgery?

    Recovery from eyelid surgery is usually pretty quick and uneventful, but it can be hastened somewhat using ice packs and elevating your head religiously for the first 48 hours. This greatly helps reducing swelling and bruising afterwards. Good luck. READ MORE

  • What is the recovery time for ear lobe surgery?

    Earlobe reduction surgery is a fairly benign procedure performed under local anesthesia in the office. I usually allow these patients to return to work the same day or certainly the next day and normal activities including exercise in two days. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How is a cheek lift done?

    It sounds like you are a candidate for a Mini-Facelift. My favorite technique is the MACS short scar Mini-Facelift. Developed in Europe, it is the ideal approach for the younger patient, not ready for a full facelift, or patients who desire a less invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time. It addresses both the mid-face area (especially the jowls) as well as the neck, if needed. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How do they put cheek implants in?

    Cheek implants are typically placed through incisions inside the mouth. My preferred procedure to address this facial region is fat grafting as the results appear more natural and complications are less frequent. Good luck! READ MORE

  • How is eyelid surgery done?

    It is rare for a 32-year-old to require eyelid surgery unless there is something called ptosis present, which is a form of eyelid drooping or significant redundant upper eyelid skin because of genetic factors. Good luck. READ MORE

  • What are the risks of a nose job?

    The primary risk while recovering from a nose job is excessive bleeding, which is rare, but can occur. It is usually successfully treated with additional packing inside the nose. Otherwise, nose job surgery carries a high level of patient satisfaction. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Is a septoplasty painful?

    Most patients describe their experience after septoplasty as uncomfortable rather than painful. This usually stems from packing or swelling within the nose, necessitating breathing through the mouth for a few days. All discomfort is well controlled with medications. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How long does it take to recover from ear lobe plastic surgery?

    Earlobe surgery is a fairly benign procedure performed in the office under local anesthesia. I allow my patients to return to work the same day or certainly the next day afterwards. Confirm my advice with your plastic surgeon performing the procedure. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Can cheek implants be removed?

    Cheek implants can certainly be removed and that is sometimes necessary if they become displaced or their position is changed, causing an odd appearance. Once removed, one option can be fat transfer to the cheek region to improve projection and contour. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Can you get surgery for smaller ears?

    Otoplasty is an operation designed to decrease the projection of prominent ears. Surgery allows the ears to be pinned back somewhat so they don’t stick out as much. However it does not make the ears smaller. Call anytime for a virtual consultation to discuss the best options for you. Good luck. READ MORE

  • What can you eat after nose surgery?

    You can eat pretty much anything after nose surgery, but the first night after surgery you may consider food that is easier to digest like soup or yogurt or milkshakes. After that you should be able to eat anything you desire. Confirm my advice with your operating surgeon. Good luck. READ MORE
