SCAR WARS: DONUTS, LOLLIPOPS, AND ANCHORS FOR BREAST LIFT 07-15-2014
When it comes to a breast lift (mastopexy being the medical term) there are three principle ways and incision patterns used to achieve the lift; a circle around the areola (the donut), and circle on a stick (the lollipop), and the circle on a stick with a long incision in the crease of the breast (the anchor).

LIPOSUCTION: How Long will it Last? 04-02-2014
Liposuction is consistently one of the top, if not the number one, most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures done in the United States year after year (according to ASAPS statistics). Liposuction is often performed as a stand alone procedure or as a procedure done in combination with other procedures (such as a tummy tuck or with a breast procedure for example).

Saline vs. Gel Breast Implant: Some Considerations for You 03-07-2014
When considering breast implants, one of the first choices to make is the type of implant that is best for you: saline vs. silicone gel. It is best to discuss with a board certified plastic surgeon after a physical examination, but I offer some general thoughts here that will help lay a foundation of knowledge about breast implants in a general way. First, both types of implants are FDA approved for use in the United States and both will achieve larger, fuller breasts, more cleavage...
