Reviewing Post-Op Instructions for Breast Surgery
April 29th, 2019
Ever wonder why following instructions is so important after surgery? Post-Op instructions are easy to follow and patients play a big role in assuring a safe and comfortable recovery after being discharged. We give everyone a packet of detailed instructions following surgery to take home, besides going over important information for after-care with our patient and their chosen caregiver, as shown in this video. Recovery is a patient/surgeon partnership and following recommendations helps to achieve the optimum result. We encourage our patients to call with any questions and I am available to them 24/7 following their surgery.

Breast Enlargement #1 Surgery for 2018
March 13th, 2019
Breast Enlargement is #1 Surgery for 2018. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has released their annual cosmetic surgery stats compiled for 2018. Again, in the #1 spot is Breast Augmentation (enlargement). In fact, the Top Five are all breast procedures. Over 1.8 million cosmetic surgeries were done last year, in addition to almost 16 million minimally invasive procedures like Botox®.
Not surprising, Liposuction increased by 5% last year, with an intensified interest in fat grafting surgery, where liposuctioned fat cells are reintroduced to sculpt or plump another area in the body. I have noticed that our office is receiving more calls for consultations for this relatively new application designed for liposuction and liposculpture. I find that the popularity has increased by offering natural breast enlargement, natural facial rejuvenation and sculpting other parts of the body using the patients own fat. It is an exciting time to be a cosmetic plastic surgeon.
