Now Entering the Plastic Surgery “Busy Season”

Heidi Montag: Sometimes you just have to say “No”

Much has been written recently about Heidi Montag and her “10 plastic surgery procedures in one day.”  I would like to give my thoughts about the many issues that pertain to this “story.”
First, let me dispel the myth that ten plastic surgery procedures cannot be performed in one operation. While I will admit that this [...]

How To Choose Your Breast Implant Size

Selecting the size for your new breast implants can be a difficult task.  Many women allow this decision to “stress them out” because they fear making the wrong decision.  I will start out by saying that while the decision is important, it should not be a major source of anxiety.  Many women are too focused [...]

Hot Trends in Plastic Surgery for 2010

As we enter a new year and a new decade, I thought it would be appropriate to give my predictions for “Hot Trends” in plastic surgery for 2010.

Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction

Many patients are unhappy with the appearance of their abdomen.  They may complain about the extra fat, the loose skin, the lack of tightness, or the presence of stretch marks.  It is important to understand the difference between a Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty, and Liposuction in order to decide which is most appropriate.
Liposuction involves the [...]

Silicone or Saline – Which is the better breast implant?

Several times each day I am asked the question, “Is silicone or saline a better implant?”  I explain that I cannot say which is “better” because it is impossible to define “better.”  Also, breast implant selection is a very personal decision.   I do tell my patients that silicone implants tend to look more natural and [...]

Laser Liposuction – Is it worth the hype?

One of the “hottest” trends in plastic surgery is Laser Liposuction.  Many physicians promote this new technique as the latest and greatest in body contouring.  They point to smaller incisions, less bruising and swelling, greater skin tightening, and faster recovery. But is this hype justified, or is this just a creative attempt at marketing in [...]
