Your Happiness after Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery.

around lunchtime of January 21st, 2008

If you want to be happy after your plastic and cosmetic surgery, you may need to check your unrealistic expectations at the door.

Open Revision Rhinoplasty

just before lunchtime of May 25th, 2006

 Open Revision Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically difficult Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures.  Often the nasal cartilages have been operated previously to a point that something must be used to regain a normal looking nasal tip.  What I have found works best, in my over 16 years of performing Rhinoplasty Surgery, is the […]

Whole Lotta Nip and Tuckin going on during hiatus!

mid-morning of April 11th, 2006

 If you’re not in the entertainment biz…the word hiatus probably doesn’t have the same meaning.  For those on the small and big screen, but mostly TV shows…hiatus is a time when the TV production takes a break.  It’s also a time when celebs might want a little something….something to improve their appearance.
 I have said, many […]

 Breasts are making a huge comeback…no pun intended.  We […]

Another day in Sunny, no strike that, rainy California.
