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.

For many of my patients, they've just never been satisfied with the size of their breasts. Some feel their breasts are too large. Others think their breasts are too small, and that larger breasts could make them feel sexier and more feminine in bras, bathing suits and figure-hugging tops and dresses. 

One of the joys of being a plastic surgeon is being able to give women the breast size and shape they’ve always wanted. To achieve larger breasts, I recommend breast augmentation with breast implants, a safe, long-term, highly successful way to get the breast size they’re looking for.

Have you always wished your breasts were bigger? Has breastfeeding made them sag and droop? Would you like to look sexier in bathing suits and lingerie? With breast augmentation, now you can have the breast size you’ve always wanted: B cup, C cup, even D cup. Whether you choose saline, silicone or structured breast implants, breast augmentation is a safe, highly successful way to feel sexy, curvy and more self-confident as a woman.

A lot of patients—both men and women—come to me asking about liposuction. They want to know, how does it work? Are the results permanent? What exactly happens during the procedure? So I thought I'd address these questions here.

From my many years as a plastic surgeon, I've found that the more informed a patient is about a procedure, especially the benefits, risks and what results to expect, the more satisfied they are with the outcome. For more specific details, watch my short 2-minute video by clicking on the button below.

If you've tried dieting and exercising but still have stubborn, localized areas of fat that simply won’t go away, liposuction could be the answer you’re looking for. Liposuction can reduce even the most resistant fat deposits, giving you a trim, toned, curvy body you can feel good about. It slims and reshapes specific areas by eliminating excess fat and improving your body contours and proportion. To learn how liposuction works, watch my short 2-minute video by clicking on the button below.
