HomeGeneral Modern plastic surgery has gotten to a point where serious complications are quite rare. This is great news—the safety of even in-depth procedures is now extremely high, and patients are enjoying less painful recovery periods. However, plastic surgery is still surgery, and patients should know what to look out for during the healing process, in case complications do arise. For many people, not knowing what is normal can create unwarranted fear and anxiety—emotions that do not help with the healing process. If you’re worried about the way your healing is progressing, what should you do? Should you contact your […]
There are so many soft tissue fillers available on the market these days, that if you’re considering the wildly popular treatment, it can be very overwhelming to decide on a product for you. There are popular fillers like Juvederm and Restylane, but going with the most popular option isn’t automatically your best bet. Fillers are experiencing such a boom, that manufacturers have niche products on the market to suit many different needs. Radiesse has been around for quite a while, but it still has not reached the popularity of some other fillers. That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with […]
HomeGeneral If you’re having trouble sleeping, you might be experiencing more than insomnia. Many people suffer from breathing problems, which can be particularly troublesome during the night and disrupt sleep. A good night’s sleep is essential to health and mental function and well-being on so many levels, that if you’re experiencing nighttime breathing problems that keep you awake, you should definitely do whatever you can to correct the problem. Many people snore, stop breathing, or breathe poorly at night, which can often be improved with nasal surgery known as functional rhinoplasty. So what is functional rhinoplasty, and what problems can […]
HomeGeneral Everyone wants to look younger, but the key to looking great is to make rejuvenation look natural and effortless. That’s hard to do when you’re worried that cosmetic treatments and plastic surgery will make you look “overdone” or unnatural. The good news is that over the last few decades, the industry has moved toward more natural, subtle results and a range of gentler options for facial rejuvenation. Today, for many procedures, no one should be able to tell you “had work done” unless you choose to share your secret. The endoscopic brow lift is one of the new generation […]
HomeGeneral Facial balance is a somewhat difficult concept to articulate, but it is very easy to notice when balance is off—or spot-on. Good facial balance greatly improves the overall facial aesthetics, and is achieved when the features are proportional and work in harmony with one another. For example, someone with a large nose and small chin may have fine features, but those features simply don’t work well together. While many plastic surgery procedures are geared toward anti-aging, many others are intended to improve overall facial aesthetics, balance, and harmony. One procedure that’s popular for helping to bring balance to the […]

HomeGeneral There are many amazing tools today available to plastic surgeons for rejuvenating the face and turning back the clock on aging. Technology has reached the point that there are many different techniques and procedures that can do everything from minimize facial wrinkling to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin—all without excessive discomfort or extended downtime.

But how does radiofrequency energy work in cosmetic […]
The rhinoplasty procedure is such a popular and versatile surgery, that there are a number of terms that can get a little confusing, especially when relating to non-Caucasian rhinoplasty. The United States has a very culturally diverse population, and this has been continually growing and changing as time goes on. Because of this, there are many people with different ethnic backgrounds seeking nasal surgery for a variety of reasons. If you’ve been looking for information on non-Caucasian rhinoplasty, then you may have come across the terms “ethnic rhinoplasty” and “Westernization rhinoplasty”. But what’s the difference between these two terms?

HomeGeneral Combining a Neck Lift with Other Procedures
The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. The skin of the neck is very fragile, and can start to sag early—and aging can progress very quickly. An aging neck can make the entire face look much older, and for many people, the “turkey wattle” appearance and/or a double chin that goes along with the process is simply unacceptable. Fortunately, there is a procedure that is very effective for rejuvenating and tightening the neck area: the neck lift. However, many people don’t realize that this procedure is […]
