Plastic Surgery After the Haiti Earthquake, Part II
Part 2 of a 3 part series. If you want to start with part 1, click here. Our second day in Haiti was one I’ll never forget. A saga started that day for a little boy and luckily ended well a couple years later. We arrived at Love-A-Child orphanage and I was seeing some patients […]
Plastic Surgery After the Haiti Earthquake, Part I
I went to Haiti with The Greene Team back in March of 2010, about 2 months after the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook an already fragile country. There was a great deal of support from around the world to help the victims. The Greene Team, based out of Baton Rouge, was one of those groups […]
Find A Happy Surgeon!
A recent collaborative article between Kaiser Health News and The Washington Post discusses doctors losing their temper, repeatedly, and eventually being sent to anger management classes. If you’ve ever worked in a hospital or visited the Emergency Department for a problem that wasn’t really an emergency, you may have met that angry doctor! Where are […]
Megan Fox…Cosmetic Medicine or Cosmetic Surgery?
Megan Fox, star of stage and screen…well, at least the screen, has rumors swirling around her regarding her cosmetic surgery. Luckily, as more non-surgical treatments (cosmetic medicine) become available such as teeth whitening, BOTOX® Cosmetic, porcelain veneers, Latisse®, fillers such as Belotero®, Juvederm® or Sculptra®, everyone, including stars can have “improvements” without surgery.

FDA Approves New Shaped Breast Implant
I recently blogged about the various silicone implants available in the US and my blog post is already out of date! In my post in December about silicone implants, we discussed the cohesiveness of the newest shaped breast implants – meaning, how cohesive the silicone inside the implant is and how that leads to safer, […]
Nicki Minaj…Plastic Surgery?
Wanna hear much ado about nothing?! Apparently there’s a great deal of controversy over Nicki Minaj and whether she has had plastic surgery or other non-surgical procedures. As a plastic surgeon, I may be going out on a limb here, but I don’t think she’s had anything done (except for her fake eyelashes and porcelain […]
Thigh Gap – Old Problem, New Name
I’m always amused by what things become the hot topic of the day or week, even if it’s nothing new. All it takes is for someone to place a new catchy name on whatever the “it” topic is. And so it goes with “thigh gap”! Thigh gap is the term used to describe the […]
Tummy Tuck vs. Mini Tummy Tuck – Which is right for you?
I attended a wellness event at The Bar Method in Baton Rouge yesterday to discuss cosmetic medicine and cosmetic surgery. As a plastic surgeon, this is obviously a topic of interest to me.
