Will Breast Implants Affect Breastfeeding?
Because the majority of my new york city breast implant patients are young women of childbearing age, the issue of breast implants and breastfeeding is an important one.

Size DOES matter…in Plastic Surgery
Patients are demanding surgical procedures with smaller scars, faster recovery, and less pain. This has lead to the increased popularity of minimally-invasive procedures such as the “mini facelift”, “mini tummy tuck”, and “mini brachioplasty”. People even go so far as to request “scarless” surgery. It should be obvious to anyone reading this, that “scarless” surgery [...]
Why Your Breasts Change – Observations from the Beach
As I lounged on the beach this weekend (with my SPF 50), my eyes wandered to all the breasts around me. It’s ok, because as I tell my wife, it’s all “research” and I assured her it was for my latest blog entry. Breasts can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes. But [...]

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 [...]
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.
