This unusually cold North Texas winter will soon be a memory. Spring is just around the corner! Temperatures warm, heavy coats are put away, and warm weather clothing makes its way to the display racks. It’s a perfect time for breast augmentation! Contrary to what a lot of people think, most women who come to …
I love doing facelifts. There’s some real art and finesse involved. Every millimeter counts. Usually a person considering facelift surgery notices loose facial skin, jowls, and a loss of the youthful neck contour. During the procedure tissues under the skin are lifted and tightened, then excess skin is trimmed away. The incisions are placed in …
I just returned from an educational event in Miami. About 200 plastic surgeons were invited by Allergan (a large company producing many aesthetics products including breast implants) to learn about a new product they will be launching in January 2014.
