Bariatric, or weight loss surgery, continues to be on the rise with a large portion of the U.S. population officially defined as obese. Gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y, is the most popular surgical method in the U.S. to obtain massive weight loss.

Concierge Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis

Cosmetic plastic surgery is both elective and very individualized. The decision to have plastic surgery is obviously very personal and every patient has their unique reasons for wanting a specific plastic surgery procedure, although most of the reasons are quite similar for most patients. Much thought should go into the before surgery aspect, including what Read More…

Gas Prices, The Economy and Plastic Surgery

  While the economy partly has been in a recent downturn, partly driven by higher gas prices (amongst many issues), there is no certainty as to how far south it may go. Where it stays as it is today or gets worse in the next 6 months is impossible to predict. What is possible to Read More…

The Unrecognizeable Problem in Plastic Surgery

I have come to learn over the years of a patient phenomenon of what I call…the unrecognizeable problem. While it is not quite that common for major surgical issues, it has become more evident in minor plastic surgery procedures and, in particular, with all of the new injectable treatments that now exist.
