Quite frankly, I do not enjoy the idea of marketing my practice and running advertisements, although I recognize it as a necessary ‘evil’. I would rather focus all of my creativity on surgical solutions and patient care improvements rather than on marketing analysis and the fabrication of eye-catching ads, brochures, or websites.

For most elective cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, one must consider the trade-offs in accepting the decision for surgery. Usually you are trading off one set of problems for another….just be sure what you are trading into is better than what you currently have. For example, you might want those flabby arms smaller but you will Read More…
Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is one of the top ten requested cosmetic procedures for both men and women in plastic surgery. The prominence of the nose and its significance to the appearance of the face makes the need for any rhinoplasty surgery to be very precise. Good results in rhinoplasty are dependent upon an understanding of Read More…

A positive attitude and a good feeling on the patient’s part can go a Read More…

And remember, we are talking here about cosmetic plastic surgery, not necessarily reconstructive plastic surgery where the decision to have surgery is not completely controlled by the patient. In Read More…
I frequently get asked by many patients during an initial plastic surgery consultation….What do you think I should do?…or what they mean is…What do you see as the problem? And I always answer the same way….It is not what I see, but what you see and concerns you is the problem. I long ago learned Read More…
Liposuction, after 25 years since its introduction in the United States in 1981, remains one of the most popular plastic surgeries for both men and women. How it works seems simple enough…’stick a tube and suck it out’ to paraphrase what many patients say. And while it is conceptually simple mechanical process, there is Read More…
Breast Augmentation is the number one cosmetic body procedure performed in plastic surgery, even outdoing liposuction which has the advantage of potentially treating many body areas as opposed to breast augmentation’s one. Because the operation is fairly ‘standard’, many potntial patient’s questions and concerns are quite similar I get them on almost every consult Read More…
