Ask the Expert
"I am 22 years old and
over the past 4 years or so have lost approx 100 pounds and am now left with excess sagging skin on my arms, thighs, and stomach. I was looking into body contouring plastic surgery. Would it be possible to get an estimate on how much it would cost?"
Everyone is aware that we are in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Statistics indicate that up to 30 percent of the general population is considered obese. We all know this to be true after a simple visit to any public place. A recent report by a group of Army Generals even concluded that there has been a 70 percent increase in the number of recruits that have failed their physicals because of obesity between 1995 and 2008!
Plastic surgeons across the country are seeing more and more patients who have lost a significant amount of weight (more than 50 pounds). This weight loss is often achieved the "old fashioned way" with diet and exercise, or with bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery is a procedure on the stomach or intestines designed to help patients lose weight. Read more. |

| Would you consider plastic surgery to enhance your career? |
 This question covers a touchy subject for sure. Most people are well aware that good looking individuals have an advantage in our society. Studies have proven this to be a fact. Good looking people: - are paid higher salaries
- have more job opportunities
- are treated better
- have a competitive advantage in the work world
- are more likely to be successful
- are more likely to be offered superior opportunities
It's not fair, and it may not be right, but humans are "hard wired" to be attracted to better looking individuals. Does this mean you should consider plastic surgery as a way to enhance your career? Read more. |
| If you're concerned about a big nose, consider a Rhinoplasty. |
As the center of the face, there is no hiding one's nose and no denying the benefits of a good looking nose. For these reasons, it is not surprising that Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, continues to be one of the top five most requested plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States.
Although there is no "typical" nose, most patients desire one that is in balance with their face. They prefer one that is not too large, has a refined tip and doesn't have a hump on the bridge.
Interestingly enough, patients are more likely to describe what they don't want in a Rhinoplasty! Nobody prefers a "pig nose", a "Michael Jackson" nose, or one that looks unnatural because it has that "operated" look. The fear of these uncommon outcomes is a source of major anxiety for many patients considering Rhinoplasty. Read more. |
| What is the most powerful breast enhancement to lift and shape saggy, deflated breasts? |
 Anyone who has spent time on the breast enhancement section of my website has been introduced to the Breast Augmentation and Reduction or BAR procedure. This is the most advanced technique in breast reshaping specifically designed for patients requesting "higher, tighter and perkier" breasts.
The main components of the BAR procedure include:- Reduction of the lower, saggy breast tissue.
- Removal of excess skin and elevation of the nipple areola complex using a "minimal scar" technique.
- The use of a breast implant for optimal breast shaping and improved superior fullness.
- The placement of the breast implant beneath the chest muscle.
Gravity, advancing age and pregnancy ensure that your breasts will fall from where they used to be. The BAR procedure builds the breasts back where they belong. Read more. |
