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.

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

The American society of plastic surgeons and the American society of Aesthetic plastic surgery are working with the… Read More
