Code Black: A look into the future of healthcare

I think the official title of “Code Black,” a movie just released on June 20th 2014, is Code Black: A look into America’s busiest ER. Check out the trailer here.

Plastic Surgery Gone Wild

I recently had someone call my plastic surgery office inquiring as to whether I could split his tongue to look more like a snake. While I don’t do this, it’s not the first time I’ve had this request. Do I know how to do it? Technically, yes, I could split a tongue…but that doesn’t mean […]

Make me look like this! Celebrity photos

I always get a kick out of patients bringing in celebrity photos and saying, “make me look like this!” Typically they want a nose like Princess Kate or a booty like Kim Kardashian.   While there’s nothing wrong with clarifying to your plastic surgeon in very explicit terms what you want, those expectations may not […]
