In my plastic surgery practice, I have many, many patients who want larger, fuller breasts. However, I also have many patients who would like their breasts to be smaller. Very large breasts, especially on small-framed women, can cause neck pain, back pain, painful indentions on the shoulders, rashes, problems with exercise, self-consciousness and embarrassment. 

If you feel your breasts are too large, especially if they have become cumbersome and uncomfortable, breast reduction surgery can be a very effective solution. As well as reducing the size and weight of your breasts, this procedure also improves the shape of your breasts and nipple areas, allowing you to feel good about yourself and your appearance, sometimes for the first time.

It’s also important to know that I perform breast reduction on men as well, usually due to a condition called gynecomastia in which male breasts are abnormally enlarged.

If you have tried dieting and exercise but still have stubborn, localized areas of fat that simply will not go away, liposuction could be the answer you’ve been looking for. Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by dramatically reducing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion.

Since fat cells do not reproduce, once they are reduced through liposuction, they will not be replaced—great news for many of my patients. This may be why liposuction is one of today’s most popular cosmetic procedure, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet!

Deciding to have breast augmentation surgery is a big decision, impacting how your breasts look and feel for the rest of your life. I feel strongly that the best patient is a well-informed patient. The more information you have about this potentially life-changing surgery, the more realistic your expectations will be and the more satisfied you will be with the results. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

Before breast augmentation surgery, a no-fee consultation

Before performing breast augmentation surgery, I offer a no-fee consultation, lasting approximately 45-60 minutes. I thoroughly answer all of your questions so that you are completely comfortable before leaving the office.  During this consultation, I typically:

• review your medical history
• discuss your goals and expectations
• perform an examination including breast measurements
• review the details of the procedure
• explain procedure options, including:
  • saline vs. silicone implants
  • round vs. teardrop shape implants
  • incision location (above or below the muscle implant location)
• recovery time
• what your “new” breasts will look like post-surgery
• cost

A shapely, toned, full-sized derrière is something many women desire to have today, but few are born with this feature in the proportions that they want. A Brazilian butt lift, which uses your own fat and includes both butt augmentation and butt reshaping, is an excellent way to achieve a fuller, firmer, sexier “behind.” And an added benefit of this popular procedure is that it can also create a more pleasing balance between the shape, size and contour of your buttocks in proportion to the rest of your body.  

With a Brazilian butt lift (also called butt augmentation), the size, shape and fullness of your butt is meticulously and artfully sculpted, giving you amazingly natural-looking results. For more information about butt augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

For many of my patients, a tummy tuck is a wonderful turning point in their lives, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to have a positive body image, sometimes for the first time. Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, reduces excess fat and skin and helps restore weakened or separated muscles. The result? A smoother, firmer, more attractive midsection.

However, it’s not unusual for a woman to want to get pregnant after having a tummy tuck, and often patients come to me asking of this is safe, or even possible. While it is perfectly safe to get pregnant after a tummy tuck without injuring yourself or the baby, the pregnancy will stretch the abdominal wall muscles and overlying skin, potentially reversing some of the improvements gained by the tummy tuck.

Would you like larger breasts? Do you want to feel sexier, more sensual and more self-confident as a woman? Now you can have the breast size you’ve always wanted: B cup, C cup, even D cup with breast implants. Breast implants are a safe, highly successful way to achieve the full, beautiful breasts you desire. 

Breast implant surgery is typically performed to enlarge small breasts, underdeveloped breasts or breasts that have decreased in size after a woman has had children. Breast implants can also make breasts more symmetrical if one is significantly larger than the other. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation is the top cosmetic surgery performed today. Having performed breast implant surgery for over 20 years, I understand that this is a big decision for a woman. I also know how much it means to each of my patients to achieve the results she wants, and I am pleased that I can help achieve these positive outcomes. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

Top 10 reasons women get breast implants

There are a variety of reasons why women want larger, fuller breasts. If you’re considering getting breast implants, here are some of the most common reasons women decide to have breast augmentation surgery so that you are more able to make an informed decision. 

For women who want larger, fuller breasts, breast implants are a safe, highly successful way to get the breast size they’ve always wanted. 

I offer three types of breast implants, all of them safe

1. Silicone breast implants—filled with silicone gel.
2. Saline breast implants—filled with saline (sterile saltwater).
3. Natrelle® gummy breast implants—filled with silicone gel. Choose from five profiles (low to extra full), four degrees of fullness (minimal to maximum) and three levels of cohesivity (gumminess).

Most women—and most plastic surgeons, myself included—prefer the look and feel of silicone implants rather than saline. Silicone implants are generally considered to look and feel more like real breast tissue, while saline implants are more prone to cause rippling of the skin. Women are also reporting high satisfaction rates with the new gummy versions because they can choose the size and shape of their implants for a more customized, unique look.

Have you always wanted a round, firm butt? Have you tried exercise and supportive garments but are not getting the results you desire? A Brazilian butt lift, which uses your own fat and includes both butt augmentation and butt reshaping, is an excellent way to achieve a fuller, firmer, more shapely derrière. It also can help you achieve a more pleasing balance between the shape, size and contour of your buttocks in proportion to the rest of your body. For more information about butt augmentation, download our free fact sheet!
