My new bffs (my breasts) turned 1 yr old in Jan! I have to say it was THE BEST experience, not only do they look natural but they are the breasts I have always dreamed I would have. My fiance who was originally against plastic surgery, now one could say that he has turned into a bit of a connoisseur. I cannot say enough about the surgery room staff–the nurse was calm and nuturing upon my awakening. I would also like to thank the anesthesiologist, not sure his name, who gentlely rubbed my arm to calm me as I fell into my beauty slumber. Since my experience I have shared my little secret ,whom we like to call Dr. B, with 4 of my other girlfriends who are equally as thrilled. This month to celebrate my own birthday I recieved botox. In usual fashion Dr.Bashioum and Sandy told me I didn’t need it but they were also kind in reccomending a natural amount to diminish my first “line.”
Pick your nose! Nose Nipntucks
April 5th, 2012
Plastic surgeons most often want to give you what you want. I really think this stems from a profound sense of responsibility regarding patients placed in a physician’s care. This responsibility is firmly instilled in young residents during plastic surgery training.
Patients frequently bring in pictures saying, “I want my nose to look like this.†Several factors dictate whether this nipntuck request represents realistic expectations. It is important to understand the possibilities and limitations presented by the anatomy of a particular nose, the aesthetics of the individual facial structure and desires of the patient.
Modern rhinoplasty philosophy and techniques do give us a vast number of combinations with regards to nose surgery. We are able to either increase or decrease the size of any part of your nose. For example, a surgeon might increase the height of the bridge of the nose, while decreasing the width of the tip.
Unfortunately, these techniques are not as precise as sculpting a piece of metal or clay. In addition, your body will do some sculpting of its own while healing. On occasion, carefully placed cartilage grafts will be absorbed (lost) by your body, perhaps requiring revision surgery. Finally, complications can and do occur. Several of my patients have shared their experience with having a rhinoplasty or nose job.

As the saying goes, “You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose!â€
