Breast Enlargement Still #1
February 21st, 2012
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released the latest data collected for cosmetic surgery procedures in 2011. ASPS statistics represent procedures performed by ASPS member surgeons like me, who are board certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. The Top 5 most popular procedures are breast enlargement, nose and eye surgery, liposuction and facelifts. Both breast enlargement and facelifts have shown a 5% uptick in popularity from 2010.
I have found that my practice routinely sees women seeking breast enlargement surgery, especially after they are finished having children. Several of my patients have shared their personal stories on our Nipntuck Blog about restoring their figures following breast-feeding. Over 300,000 women had breast surgery last year, many of them as part of this Mommy makeover. Our documentary about one such patient is entitled Restoring Jennifer is linked here and is also posted in the headings at the top of the page.

Cosmetic Surgery Gift Certificate: a Good Idea?
February 8th, 2012
While most women enjoy a gift certificate to their favorite boutique or for a day at the spa, cosmetic surgery is another matter. First of all, the gesture might have unintended consequences. No matter how well intended the gift may be, it might send the wrong message. The message might suggest that perhaps the recipient might need some facial rejuvenation surgery or body alteration. They may or may not agree, which can lead to discord. I strongly believe that cosmetic surgery is a personal choice.
When I am approached about gift certificates for cosmetic surgery, I suggest that scheduling a consultation may be the appropriate route, if both parties mutually agree upon considering surgery. I do not charge a fee for consultations in my office.
