Having breast implants is not a “one and done” thing—they are not permanent! Like anything else that is not “living tissue,” breast implants have a shelf life. I see so many patients that may have decided on breast augmentation before having children in their 20s, and then fast-forward 30 years to their 50s and there is usually a different set […]

I have really gotten more excited about earlobes in the last few years, which is such an important aspect of facial beauty and aesthetics that oftentimes get overlooked. Earlobes change with age—like anything else, they can become droopy, they can “deflate,” and they can even develop folds and seem “collapsed.” Fortunately, earlobes can often be rejuvenated with volume.

As the years progress (especially when males get into their late 30s and 40s and their metabolism slows a bit), it is very common for men to start noticing an excess accumulation of fat in numerous regions of the body, including the chest, abdomen, and flanks.
