A quick fix in plastic surgery!
Not everything in plastic surgery has to cost a fortune. Many of the bigger procedures like a facelift, breast augmentation or a tummy tuck may be more than you want to spend at this time but what if you have a mole or an old chicken pox scar?! Many people that were born in another […]
You made me more marketable! — Plastic Surgery Patient
I recently had a patient who gave me one of the best compliments. It was her second time coming in for Botox to correct overactive wrinkles on the forehead and crow’s feet and filler to provide volume to her cheeks and “parentheses lines.” As a little background, she recently went through a divorce and […]

Sex and Plastic Surgery: G-Spot
I’m not an Ob-Gyn and I don’t suggest that I’m an expert in the field of sexual medicine or sexual function or dysfunction but I still think, from a common sense standpoint, that I can comment on a recent article from the Journal of Sexual Medicine. In a 2012 issue of the journal, a […]
Sex and Plastic Surgery: Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty. A procedure that women research in privacy because of potential embarrassment. While some may dismiss the need for a labiaplasty, this is a real issue for some and should be addressed with sensitivity. Labiaplasty is a treatment for women that have excess tissue around the vagina, referred to as the labia minora. The labia […]
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 […]
