Lately I’ve been noticing a change in plastic surgery requests that is shaping up to be the biggest trend of the year. What I’m seeing is a shift in how patients want to look after a breast, face, body or skin procedure. Instead of trying to duplicate the face or body (or both) of a celebrity or supermodel, they want to look like themselves, only a little bit better, a little bit younger, a little bit smoother.

Today, people want fast, no-fuss enhancements

Many of my patients really like the shape of their lips, they’re happy with how they look, but they just want a little more fullness, what I call a little more “pow.” To achieve this, there are many fillers that can do that, either to enhance the line between the normal facial skin and the red skin of the lip, or to augment the top or bottom part of the lip, or both, to make the lips larger.

Then there are other patients who just aren’t happy with their lips. The overall shape isn’t what they want, they’re too thin, they don’t have enough structure to them, there isn’t enough of a difference between the lip and their facial skin, and their lipstick bleeds.

For these patients, I recommend lip augmentation, also called lip enhancement. This is just one of the many ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.

Many of my patients come to me wanting to smooth out wrinkles around their eyes, mouth and forehead. Or they want fuller, sexier lips. Or they want to restore fullness in their face that has been lost due to age and gravity. The common denominator for a number of these patients? They’re sensitive to pain and these minor facial procedures make them anxious.

Some of the non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures I perform, such as Botox® or derma fillers, do not require sedation or any kind of analgesia. But hair injections, lip injections with fillers, and some of the laser procedures can cause a little bit of discomfort. For those patients who don’t do well with pain, or who want to be more relaxed during their procedure, I offer something to make their procedure much more enjoyable, called Pro-Nox. This is just one of the many ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.

An attractive face is all about balance and proportion. Your nose provides the foundation for this aesthetic balance, helping you feel self-assured and confident. However, if you have never liked your nose and would like to change it, nose reshaping surgery (also known as rhinoplasty or a nose job) is a highly successful way to have the nose you’ve always wanted. This procedure is just one of the many ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.

Have you always felt that your lips are too thin? Do they disappear when you smile? Are you self-conscious about the way they look? This might be the perfect time to consider lip enhancement, also known as lip augmentation or lip injections. Lip enhancement is just one of the many ways I can help you achieve a more beautiful face. To learn more, click here.   

What does lip enhancement involve?

Whether you were born with thin lips or your lips are thinning due to the natural aging process, lip enhancement can greatly improve your lips’ appearance as well as your self-confidence.

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.

If you’re ready to look younger and smoother but don’t want plastic surgery, injectables are a great solution, just one of the many facial rejuvenation procedures I offer to help you look more beautiful. To learn more, please click here.

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.

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.

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.
