    A successful rhinoplasty surgery should be aimed at achieving the best possible nasal shape, maximizing breathing and minimizing possible complications. Unfortunately, sometimes the results from a prior rhinoplasty can be unsatisfactory due to the surgeon’s inexperience, poor surgical technique or scarring of the nose after surgery. In fact, rhinoplasty has one of the highest reoperation rates of all plastic surgery procedures because nasal anatomy is inherently variable, the final results can be compromised by scar tissue formation and/or structural warping and the surgery itself takes artistic talent to perform successfully. Some of the most common complaints after a prior unsuccessful rhinoplasty are a nose that is crooked, large, asymmetrical, bulbous, droopy or overall worse looking than before the surgery.  Nasal airway obstruction or worsening of initial breathing can also sometimes occur after primary rhinoplasty if the airway was not properly...

Breast reconstruction restores a natural, symmetrical appearance to the chest, maintains body proportion, allows clothes & swimsuits to fit better, and most importantly, boosts self-confidence for women who have lost one or both breasts to mastectomy or who lack breasts due to a congenital or developmental abnormality. Reconstructive surgeons strive to create a new breast and nipple-areola complex that resembles the woman’s natural breast as closely as possible in shape, size and position. This may be performed utilizing a myriad of techniques including implants, tissue expanders, and/or patients own, native tissues such as the abdomen (TRAM flap) or back (Latissmus flap) areas. Breast reconstruction is a highly personal and individualized process that requires extensive consultation with your reconstructive breast surgeon.  

  Women with large, sagging breasts often develop neck pain, back pain, improper posture, shoulder grooving, bra strap indentations, severe irritation underneath their breasts and rashes in their breast fold (intertrigo). Furthermore, it can be difficult for women with large breasts to find clothing that fits properly as well as causing difficulty exercising and participating in sports. Lastly, large breasts can make some women feel “top heavy”, overweight and/or self-conscious about their breasts. After breast reduction surgery all of these symptoms typically resolve. Patients are also able to exercise and be more active after the surgery which makes weight loss easier and allows them the ability to perform physical activities that were difficult or impossible prior to the surgery.Breast Reduction surgery is a procedure that reduces the weight and size of a woman’s breast as well as providing lift and reduction in the size of the areolas. During the surgery, the e...

  Achieving a flat, well-toned abdomen is a common goal, but sometimes diet and exercise alone aren't sufficient. While these efforts can enhance muscle tone and reduce body fat, they don't address stretched abdominal skin or separated muscles caused by factors like pregnancy or significant weight changes. The most effective solution for these issues is abdominoplasty, commonly known as a "tummy tuck."   Abdominoplasty is a procedure designed to contour the abdomen by addressing sagging skin, stretch marks, and a protruding abdomen. To understand its benefits, it helps to consider the abdomen's three layers: muscle, fat, and skin. Weight gain or pregnancy can stretch or damage any of these layers irreparably. Even with weight loss, excess skin and stretch marks may persist, and abdominal muscles can become stretched or separated, leading to a persistent bulge. When exercise and diet fail to restore a normal abdominal appearance, surgical correction becomes necessa...

  When we are born we all have large fat pads in our cheeks that create the round, chubby “baby faces” that look so adorable in photographs. As we grow up, these chubby faces usually transform into the more sculpted appearance of the adult face with cheekbone highlights and a distinct jawline. However, this is not the case for everyone and in some people the round, chubby cheeks of childhood do not dissipate and instead remain into adulthood. In fact, due to heredity, some people may never lose the childhood “chubby” look in their cheeks which can make them appear “overweight” and less attractive in adulthood. Buccal fat pad removal is an elegant but simple procedure that is designed to help patients that have full, round or “chubby” cheeks achieve a more sculpted, athletic facial appearance. The buccal fat pads are located in the lower portion of the face and when they are large they can give a person the appearance of “chubby” or “chipmunk” cheeks. During buccal fat pad extractio...
