Yes – you really are turning into your mother!

Posted on March 26, 2010

You know that old saying, about how a young man should look at his prospective mother-in-law, to see how his wife-to-be might look in the future? Turns out, there’s some scientific validity to it….but only if the mother and daughter have similar appearances to start with. A recent study from Loma Linda University Medical Center […]

WSJ: Plastic Surgery decreased in 2009

Posted on March 9, 2010

Nice summary of 2009 plastic surgery trends in the Wall Street Journal, showing the effect of hard economic times on elective plastic surgery volume. I’ve reproduced it, below. I’ve added some editorial comments in parentheses. In addition, you can see the latest ASAPS statistics on plastic surgery, by clicking the link here. *************** By ANJALI ATHAVALEY, […]

Breast implant exchange surgery

Posted on February 5, 2010

It’s not uncommon for women who have already had a breast augmentation some years ago to come and consult with us about an implant exchange. Most commonly, this is for reasons of wanting a different size; most often a little bit larger, sometimes a little smaller. People do change their minds about the look they […]

Was it worth it? – the least satisfactory procedures

Posted on January 22, 2010

According to the readers poll over at RealSelf.com, here is the “rogue’s gallery” as of today – the procedures at the bottom of the barrel on the “was it worth it” scale. The 20% satisfaction rating for lipodissolve, for example, means that 80% of people didn’t think it was worth the cost.You can see the […]

Plastic Surgery Predictions for 2010

Posted on January 3, 2010

Remember the old Johnny Carson sketch, “The Great Karnak”? Well, these predictions may prove to be about as accurate, but here goes… 1. Botox vs. Dysport. So far, this corporate shoot-out has been pretty low-key. But I expect the marketing and tug-of-war between the two corporate behemoths to increase significantly in 2010, as people (both […]

Surgical lip lifts

Posted on December 8, 2009

A lip lift is a procedure that pulls the red area of the lip, known as the “vermilion”, upward. Recently, I have been seeing some websites that advertise this procedure, to help the mouth area look more youthful. First – some background. There are two main families of lip lifts. The first type of lip lift can […]

Trade your air miles for plastic surgery?

Posted on November 30, 2009

Finnair, Finland’s biggest airline, has an offbeat new idea for frequent flyers: Exchange your air miles for plastic surgery! According to the airline’s website, the cosmetic procedures are performed at the Nordstroem Hospital in Helsinki. All the usual procedures can be obtained with air miles – but it takes one heckuva lot of points! Earning […]

Lower body lifts

Posted on October 12, 2009

Just as a tummy tuck can really help people who have a lot of loose skin on their abdomen, a lower body lift is the corresponding operation for people that have significant amounts of excess skin on their lateral (outside) thighs or buttocks. It tightens the lax skin over the “saddlebag” area and buttock by removing the […]

Ten reasons to consider a breast lift

Posted on

You might need a breast lift (mastopexy) if one or more of these ten reasons sounds familiar to you: 1. You prefer the breast shape you get when you lift your breasts upwards with your hands. 2. You want your breasts to be “perkier”. 3. Your breast size is good, but they are “too low”. 4. When […]

Choosing the right breast implant shape

Posted on October 7, 2009

Back in the dark ages, plastic surgeons recommended breast implants based only on their total volume. Now, most modern surgeons realize that it is important to measure the patient’s rib cage width, and match the width of the implant to the width of the patient, in order to obtain a result that looks attractive, proportional, […]
