During breast lift surgery, incisions will typically be made circumferentially around the areola, vertically in the lower aspect of the breast, and horizontally along the inframammary fold of the breast. Like all surgical procedures requiring incisions, the formation of scars after breast lift surgery is inevitable. Though the appearance and texture of scarring will vary depending on factors such as […]

Breast lift surgery has traditionally (and still commonly today) been performed using an inferior pedicle wise approach. With this technique, most of the tissue removed comes from the top of the breast while tissue on the bottom of the breast is saved to support circulation to the nipple. The issue, however, is that the pull of gravity impacts the breasts […]

In my last blog post, I revealed my unique, less-invasive approach to male breast reduction. One of the many advantages of this innovative technique is the minimal downtime that typically ensues (or doesn’t, if you will).

Essentially, this approach is a very detailed and focused liposuction of the chest […]

Both teens and adults are bothered by this condition, especially men in their forties who have begun to develop excessive breast tissue or have been struggling with the condition since they were in high school. Depending on its severity, gynecomastia can often lead […]

Facelift and neck lift procedures are actually interrelated, so much so that performing one without the other can potentially lead to unsatisfactory results. For this reason, I typically perform a short scar facelift combined with an open neck lift and platysmaplasty, all of which have proven to produce fantastic results and high levels of satisfaction among my patients. Every time […]

I am often asked about the differences between a liquid facelift and a short scar facelift, so I decided to author a blog post highlighting the two popular facelift options in order to provide prospective patients with a better understanding of both procedures. Liquid Facelift A liquid facelift is really just a way of “lifting” and “filling” the soft tissues […]

Historically, only one procedure would typically be performed during a particular surgical session. However, as cosmetic surgery techniques and technologies have evolved over the years, so too has this surgical philosophy. As a specialist of performing multiple plastic surgery procedures at once – i.e. the mommy makeover – I strongly believe combination surgery is generally safer, more economical, and more […]
