Can we substitute saline or silicone breast implants with your own natural fat and get the same results? A few years ago, […]
Plastic Surgery Financing!
In the past, plastic surgery was thought to be only for the rich. That wasn’t true then and it isn’t true now.

Who needs Yelp when you have this patient testimonial!
Sure patients review Yelp but you know what’s more effective than words? A picture…or in this case a video!
