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.

December 9th, 2011
I took this photo at the bi-annual Butterball Party that was chaired by our friend, Minnesota adventurer, explorer and author Dan Buettner. Rudy and Ana were our hosts for the fun evening and they served on Dan’s committee for the gala.
This year the fundraiser is slated to surpass the $100,000 raised in 2009. All the proceeds from The Butterball Party 2011 support the wonderful work of Open Arms. Open Arms is the only nonprofit organization in Minnesota that cooks and delivers free, delicious and nutritious meals to individuals living with serious and life-threatening illness, as well as their caregivers and dependent children.
