Brazilian Butt Lift

The Brazilian butt lift became all the rage a number of years ago when the show Extreme Makeover became popular. I’ve always been a little bit dismayed by that show because they tend to show their postoperative results even just a few weeks after surgery. In the field of cosmetic surgery the most important results come at least a year if not more after the surgery. The operation is just a small part of the entire recovery.

Botox or Dysport…. a Year Later:

So a little over a year ago Dysport® came on the market as a competitor for Botox®. We have now had vast experience with both. So which one is better? My opinion… both and neither. If you ask each manufacturer they will certainly tell you why theirs is better. While there may be subtle differences in onset and longevity both do the job and do it well. They both have made my patients very happy in Maryland and Baltimore Maryland. I think that the greatest advantage is to the patient, because there is now competition. While we really haven’t seen… Read More

What is ALCL?

On January 26, 2011 the FDA released an advisory notice regarding the association of Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) in women with breast implants.

It is not a breast cancer. In the past 25 years only 34 cases have been reported in the world among an estimated 10 million+ implanted devices. The American society of plastic surgeons and the American society of Aesthetic plastic surgery are working with the… Read More

For purposes of this article I will focus on the tummy. The group of people described above is usually well read, well researched and in good physical shape. So into my office walk a… Read More

Generally speaking, women have higher living expenses than men- makeup, hair products, skin care products, waxing, weekly manicure and pedicures, monthly facials, quarterly microdermabrasion, feminine products, etc. All of these add up to lots of dollars spent in the long run.
