For decades, women have wanted larger, fuller breasts and have chosen breast implants as a safe, effective way to get them. These days, however, that trend is reversing in many cases. Women’s lifestyles are changing, as well as what our current culture considers to be attractive and desirable.

Today, smaller breasts that look more natural and realistic are becoming more popular. For this reason, many women are choosing to have breast revision surgery, either to have their breast implants removed or to replace them with a smaller size. This is just one of several breast procedures I perform in my practice. To learn more, click here.

Every time you look in the mirror, do you see a nose you’re unhappy with? Is it too big, too small, crooked, bumpy, hooked, or just doesn’t fit your face? If you’re ready to change it, nose reshaping surgery (also known as rhinoplasty or a nose job) is a highly successful way to get the nose you’ve always wanted. This procedure is just one of the many ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.

When it comes to breast size, many people assume that women only want to go larger. However, in my plastic surgery practice many patients come to me wanting their breasts to be smaller. Very large breasts, especially on small-framed women, can cause a lot of physical discomfort: neck pain, back pain, indentions on the shoulders from heavy straps, skin rashes and problems with exercise.

Overly large breasts can also make it hard to find properly fitting clothing and bathing suits, and for many women, can make them uncomfortably self-conscious. If this sounds familiar to you, breast reduction surgery might be the welcome relief you’ve been looking for.

I found this article in today’s New York Times very timely and wanted to share it here, as it contains important information about facelifts and other cosmetic surgeries being performed during this time of COVID-19 quarantine and social distancing. A facelift is just one of the many ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.

You may have read or heard in the news that the breast implant manufacturer Allergan has recalled its textured breast implants, here in the U.S. and around the world. A July 2019 statement from the FDA explains the recall:

To protect individuals from the increased risk of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), associated with Allergan BIOCELL textured breast implants, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested that Allergan recall its BIOCELL textured breast implants and tissue expanders. Allergan agreed and is removing these products from the global market.

(FYI: BIA-ALCL is not breast cancer. It is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is cancer of the immune system.)

What is a “gummy” breast implant?

For a lot of women, after multiple pregnancies or extreme weight loss, their stomach muscles become soft, flabby and distended. In many cases, even a healthy diet and exercise do not fix the problem. One solution that I often suggest that is effective and has long-lasting results is a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty.

A tummy tuck surgically tightens weak, separated abdominal muscles and removes excess skin and fat. The result? A flatter, tighter, more toned midsection. In addition, many of my patients experience improved posture and decreased back pain after having this procedure, due to the tightened muscles supporting their spine. To learn more about the range of body sculpting  procedures I offer, click here.

How does a tummy tuck “fix” sagging skin?

Requiring 1-2 hours in the operating room under general anesthesia, a typical tummy tuck removes several pounds of stomach fat and excess skin, and tightens weakened and/or separated abdominal muscles. It can also decrease stretch marks caused by pregnancy, and dramatically improve scars from previous surgeries, such as a Caesarean section, stomach stapling or an appendectomy.

A lifted, toned, full-sized “behind” is something that few women are born with but that many women wish they had. Maybe you feel this way too? With a Brazilian butt lift (also called butt augmentation), the size, shape and fullness of your butt can be carefully sculpted and enhanced, giving you the sexy, attractive butt you’ve always wanted.

Using liposuction, a Brazilian butt lift takes fat from areas where you have too much—such as the stomach, waist, back or thighs—and transplants it into the buttocks to create a fuller, sexier, more curvaceous shape. In addition to the Brazilian butt lift, I offer a wide range of other body sculpting procedures to help you achieve a more shapely body, which you can learn about here.
