See, not all plastic surgeons are superficial!
With so many stories about butt implants and Plastic Surgery Wives, it’s easy to confuse the shenanigans of “cosmetic surgeons” that aren’t actually trained plastic surgeons and miss out on the less glamorous reconstructive efforts by many board certified plastic surgeons around the country. Take for example, Shashi Kusuma. Dr. Kusuma was a year […]
Have you noticed the cost of rent in San Francisco lately?!
Well, we’ve had an eye opening experience this weekend!
