Like it or not, as we age, we naturally lose a certain amount of fat underneath the skin, especially in the face. This brings the facial muscles closer to the skin’s surface, causing smile lines around the mouth and crow’s feet around the eyes to become more apparent.

The skin in your face also stretches with age, and its natural collagen and elastin gradually break down, adding to the loss of facial fullness. Other factors that affect the facial skin and hasten wrinkling include: sun exposure, heredity, diet, weight loss, lifestyle and changes in bone density.

Many people think that thinning hair or bald spots only happen to men. However, I have many women in my practice who have come to me wanting a long-lasting solution to their hair loss. In fact, studies show that approximately one-third of women over the age of 30 experience hair loss and 80% experience some degree of hair loss before menopause.

I would also like to emphasize that as disheartening it may be for men to see their hair thin and fall out, it can be particularly devastating for women, who tend to put a great deal of value on their hair. (Society, too, judges women on the length, thickness and overall look of their hair, more perhaps 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 beautiful and more confident.

NeoGraft™: State-of-the-art technology for hair loss

Comprising the entire upper third of your face, your forehead is a very important part of the “you” that you present to the world. If you’re not happy with the way your forehead looks, now might be a good time to consider forehead surgery for a younger-looking, more beautiful, more confident you.

Your forehead is also a major focal point for expression on your face. It helps you show concern, surprise, curiosity, worry and many other emotions. Over time, those expressions etch lines and wrinkles across your forehead. In addition, aging and gravity cause the forehead muscles to weaken and the skin to loosen, also resulting in lines and wrinkles.

Although forehead wrinkles are a natural part of getting older, if you want to reduce—or eliminate—their appearance, I recommend a type of facial plastic surgery known as a forehead lift. There are many ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.

What is EmSculpt?

For many women, the effects of age, sun damage, smoking, heredity and stress can all be seen on their face, affecting not only the way they look but the way they feel about themselves. Fortunately, there's a highly effective way to reverse the onward march of time, enabling women of every skin type to look younger, fresher and more beautiful...a facelift.

For many of my patients, a facelift is an excellent solution for reducing long-standing wrinkles and creases that for years have reminded them of the passage of time. Many of them have told me that their facelift has given them a wonderful new lease on life and a second youth! Maybe the same could be true for you.

Most people who choose to have facelift surgery are between 40 and 70 years of age but this procedure can also be performed on qualified candidates younger than 40 and older than 70. To find out if you are a good candidate for a facelift, please contact me for a free consultation and together, we'll talk about your options.

A Brazilian butt lift (also referred to as fat grafting to the buttocks or butt augmentation) is a popular and highly effective way to achieve a fuller, firmer, more shapely derrière. It also can help patients attain a more pleasing balance between the shape, size and contour of their backside in proportion to the rest of their body. 

Recently, there have been some concerns regarding the safety of this procedure. When patients ask me if a Brazilian butt lift is safe, my answer is yes. As an experienced plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of Brazilian butt lifts with very low complication rates, I believe this procedure is very safe. Major risks include 1) pulmonary or fat embolism—blood clot—for less than 1% of patients, and 2) anemia.

For many women who want larger breasts, or want their breasts' size and shape to match, or have had a mastectomy and are seeking breast reconstruction,  breast augmentation is an effective, highly satisfying solution. In fact, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast implant surgery is the top cosmetic surgery performed today.

When I am asked if breast implants are safe, my answer is yes

In over 20 years of performing breast augmentation, I have encountered very few complications. However, I want to make anyone who is considering having breast implants aware of a recent report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons discussing a rare and highly treatable type of lymphoma that can develop around breast implants, particularly those with textured surfaces. (To read the report, click here.)

I only use smooth, not textured, breast implants 

To reassure all of my patients with breast implants, as well as those who are considering getting breast implants, I want to state very clearly: 

I have always used ONLY smooth implants for my breast augmentation patients, not the textured ones cited in these two sources. The recent concerns do not involve these types of implants and my breast augmentation patients do NOT need to be concerned about this.
