Dealing With Revision Rhinoplasty Cost

Rhinoplasty is an extensive surgical procedure that can alter the size and shape of the nose to provide patients with facial harmony and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Although most rhinoplasty results have patients enjoying their newly contoured nose, others may not be as satisfied with the aftermath of their procedure due to a “botched” nose […]

Loophole in Law

Hello. I have been away too long from this blog and have experimented with a local radio show that was interesting but I’ve tired of that and will now try to be a better blogger! There is a loophole in the law that allows doctors with only an MD but perhaps no surgical training to […]

Buttock Thigh Lift II

       If you have had massive weight loss in the range of perhaps hundreds of pounds and massive hanging of tissue , then you should consider the Lockwood type circumferential trunk  lift which may require hospitalization and even transfusion.  In proper hands, magnificent results can be achieved in post bariatric surgery patients who are extremely deformed by the hanging  […]

Buttock Thigh Lift I

     When the fact that the buttock and thigh begin to show sagging skin and the reality sets in that  sagging skin plus-or-minus  bulging fat dictates that you choose not to be seen in a bathing suit or shorts, it is time to consider some form of suction and/or  buttock-thigh lift for treatment.  If the problem consists primarily […]

Restylane and Fat and fillers I

My take on the wrinkle line fillers is that the hyaluronic acid products [Restylane, Juvederm ] are safe and similar with minor differences in duration of product and neither are permanent and are supposed to last about 6 months, yet may last longer. Prevelle silk is another HA product that evidently is less painful to inject the wrinkle and […]

Heath care bill and my views IV

People don’t appreciate anything they get for free…there absolutely must be some responsibility taken by each person for some level of financial sacrifice to get health care before they can make mature decisions about how to use or abuse that expensive product. Your child’s right to have free Accutane stops where I can’t afford to […]
