If you’re interested in breast augmentation but aren’t sure which questions to ask beforehand, I’ve put together this helpful list of things to think about during your initial consultation with your plastic surgeon. I feel strongly that asking the right questions better prepares you for the procedure and gives you the confidence you need to make your final decision. This is a transformative procedure that can dramatically change the way you (and others) see yourself, which is why it is so important for you to be as informed as possible. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

In my more than 20 years performing liposuction, I’ve heard lots of reasons for deciding to have this highly successful body contouring procedure. For many of my patients, dramatically decreasing those stubborn pockets of fat and bulges that no amount of diet and exercise could erase helps them feel younger, slimmer, more energetic...and more beautiful. For others, having liposuction motivates them to live a healthier lifestyle and let go of bad habits, such as smoking.

Whatever the reason, liposuction can be a wonderful turning point in a person’s life, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to feel confident about their bodies, sometimes for the first time. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet!

Even though they exercise and eat sensibly, many of my patients still have stubborn fat pockets that just won’t go away. That’s often when I suggest liposuction. Liposuction can reduce even the most resistant fat deposits, giving you a trim, toned, curvy body you can confidently feel good about. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet!

While each patient who decides to have liposuction differs in their body type and in what they are trying to achieve, there are some common areas of the body where both men and women want to reduce stubborn fat deposits and achieve a more toned and shapely silhouette. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet!

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 today’s most popular cosmetic procedure, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. To learn more about the range of body enhancing procedures I offer, click here.

Liposuction: a proven, effective way to remove stubborn fat

If you have tried dieting and exercise but still have stubborn, localized areas of fat that simply won’t go away, liposuction could be the answer you’ve been looking for. It slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by decreasing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet!

Have you always wanted larger, firmer, higher breasts? If so, breast implants, either saline, silicone, or gummy gel, may be a great option for you. What I have found in my practice after years of performing breast implants is that, although the decision to get breast implants tends to be easy for women with small breasts, the size of the implant is a tougher decision for them to make. However, the more information they have about the many sizes of available implants, the more confident about their ultimate decision. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

Have you had breast implant surgery? Are you happy with your larger, fuller breasts? If you answered yes to both of these, terrific! Just remember: like many other aspects of your health, such as your eyes, teeth and bones, breast implants need to be checked on a regular basis, and a plastic surgeon, without a doubt, is the most qualified physician to do this. For more information on breast augmentation, download our free fact sheet!

It’s important to get your breast implants checked every year

Silicone and gummy breast implants (filled with silicone gel) as well as saline breast implants (filled with saline/sterile saltwater) are all FDA-approved and safe. However, whether a woman has had either type of breast implant surgery, there are a few problems that potentially could occur over time. This is why I recommend that all my breast augmentation patients come in for a yearly checkup.

Of course, the outcome we want to see in an annual checkup is that nothing is wrong. And if in fact there is an issue with one or both of the implants, catching it early makes a big difference in minimizing negative effects.

We’ve all heard the old saying, “A woman’s work is never done.” Well I’d like to change that to “A mother’s work is never done.” From driving the kids to sports practice (and doctors’ appointments, playdates, music lessons, field trips…), to grocery shopping, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning the house, managing the bills, helping with homework, plus getting your own work done, it’s easy to feel that every minute of the day is spent doing things for others.

Now, after dedicating years of your life to caring for your children, you deserve to care for yourself with a makeover. All of the changes that come with pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can be beautifully improved with a Mommy Makeover! For more information on a Mommy Makeover, download our free fact sheet.

For many of us as we age, our stomach becomes loose and flabby, then starts to sag and protrude. There are many reasons for this, the most common being: heredity, pregnancy, surgery and losing a significant amount of weight. When this happens, both men and women come to me seeking ways to help reverse the “middle age bulge” that has crept up on them. My recommendation? A tummy tuck.

What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck — or abdominoplasty — is a cosmetic surgery procedure that extracts loose, flabby skin, tightens stomach muscle and contours fat, transforming the midsection into a flatter, smoother abdominal surface.
