By changing your breast size, breast implants can also change your life

For many of my patients, getting bigger breasts helps them look and feel younger, sexier, more feminine and more attractive. As well as giving them a bigger bust size, breast augmentation can be a wonderful turning point in their lives, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to feel confident about their bodies, sometimes for the first time, especially while wearing bathing suits and figure-hugging tops and dresses. In addition to breast augmentation, I offer a complete range of breast procedures which you can learn about here.

Are you unhappy with your butt? Do you wish it was higher, rounder, firmer, sexier? For a number of my patients who feel the same way, a Brazilian butt lift (also called butt augmentation) is an excellent, long-lasting solution that gives them a derrière they love and enables them to feel good about the way they look in jeans, bathing suits, lingerie and other figure-hugging clothing.

If you too have been considering a Brazilian butt lift but weren’t sure if the procedure was safe, I want you to know that as a plastic surgeon who has been performing this type of body contouring surgery for over 20 years, I can confidently say that I have encountered very few complications in my patients as a result.

Have you always wanted bigger breasts than the ones you were born with? Or, have you have a mastectomy and are considering reconstructive surgery with breast implants?

Before deciding to have breast augmentation, it is very important to make sure your plastic surgeon is qualified to perform this highly specialized surgery. He/she should be board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and be a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons as well as the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. In addition, your surgeon should be very experienced in performing this procedure, i.e., not “practicing” on you and your breasts.

In both of these areas, I can confidently say that I am highly qualified and extremely experienced in performing breast implant surgery, with excellent results. In addition to breast augmentation, I offer a complete range of breast procedures which you can learn about here.

No matter how much you love your children, it’s hard to deny that pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding take a toll on your figure, often resulting in one or more of these less-than-desirable developments: drooping and/or smaller-than-before breasts, a flabby and protruding stomach, loose skin, tummy rolls, sagging buttocks, thigh saddlebags and stubborn fat deposits that don’t go away even after dieting and exercise. Are you experiencing any or all of these?

If so, good news! A Mommy Makeover can help correct all of these problems. Whether you decide to have one body contouring procedure or a combination of them at the same time, a Mommy Makeover helps women of all ages and body types regain the shape and body tone they had before children, and in many cases, a figure even better than before.

Over the years, have you developed squishy, flabby tummy rolls, or stretch marks from weight gain or pregnancy? Do you long for a tighter, toned, sexier body? If so, I encourage you to consider a tummy tuck.

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is an effective, highly successful way to take away excess fat and loose skin, and tighten and tone weakened or separated stomach muscles. The result? A smoother, firmer, younger-looking midsection.

Many people associate thinning hair or bald spots exclusively with men. However, I have many women in my practice who are losing their hair and have come to me wanting a long-lasting solution. And these are not all seniors. Studies show that approximately 33% of women over the age of 30 experience hair loss, and 80% experience some degree of hair loss before menopause. So it’s a widespread issue. And, it’s particularly upsetting for women who tend to put a great deal of emphasis on their hair, much more so than men.

If you’re experiencing thinning hair and want to do something about it, I urge you to consider hair restoration surgery, one of the many facial procedures I offer to help you look and feel more attractive and more confident.

How hair loss affects men and women differently

Like many of my patients, are you beginning to feel that the years in your life have left their mark a few too many times on your face? Would you like to decrease the smile lines around your mouth, the frown lines across your forehead and the crow’s feet around your eyes? Are you ready to look younger, smoother and firmer?

This might be a very good time to consider dermal fillers, or injectables: non-invasive, non-surgical treatments that help reverse the visible signs of aging and restore volume and fullness to your face.

Dermal fillers are a type of gel-like substance used to add volume, alter the contours of the face and fill in wrinkles. Common areas to inject fillers are in the face, neck and hands, resulting in a fuller, smoother and more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are among the most popular facial procedures I perform because they produce immediate results, very few risks and little recovery time. There are also many other ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.

When I am asked if liposuction is safe, my answer is yes

In over 20 years of performing liposuction in my plastic surgery practice, I have encountered very few complications in my patients as a result. In fact, what I have observed in both men and women who have had this procedure is that it has been a wonderful turning point in their lives, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to feel confident about their bodies, sometimes for the first time.

For people who have stubborn pockets of fat and unwanted bulges that diet and exercise have not been able to resolve, liposuction can be a very satisfying solution. By eliminating these problem areas, liposuction helps them look slimmer, more shapely and more attractive. In addition, having liposuction is the motivation many people need to commit to a healthier lifestyle and let go of bad habits, such as smoking and overeating.

In addition to liposuction, I also offer a wide range of other body sculpting procedures to help you achieve a more contoured body. To learn more, click here.

Addressing liposuction in the news

Recently, many women around the world, including a number of my patients, have become concerned to learn that textured breast implants made by Allergan that have been linked to an unusual type of cancer are being recalled in the United States at the request of the Food and Drug Administration. These textured implants will also be recalled globally.

According to an announcement by the FDA, the recall concerns Allergan’s BIOCELL textured breast implants and tissue expanders. You can read the FDA announcement here. 

I only use smooth, not textured, breast implants in my practice

Would you like to look younger, smoother, less tired? Do you feel the passage of time can be seen in your face, particularly in your forehead? Since your forehead makes up the entire upper third of your face, if you’re not happy with the way it looks, you might want to consider a type of facial procedure known as a forehead lift. This is just one of the ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.
