A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure aimed at lifting and reshaping sagging breasts to restore their youthful contour.

One of the most popular types of facelifts today is the deep plane facelift. A deep plane facelift is unique in the way that it addresses the underlying muscle and connective tissue of the face. This network of smaller muscles and connective tissues, called the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) forms the underlying structure and framework of the face.
A deep plane facelift tightens the SMAS, and also releases the four ligaments in the lower part of the face that anchor the facial muscles, pulling them downward. When the ligaments are released, a beautiful, lifted effect is achieved that appears naturally youthful.

The myth of perfection
While many rhinoplasty patients believe in the myth of the “perfect nose,” the truth is that there is no such thing. Each face has its own set of unique measurements, and the ideal nose is one that exists in harmony and balance with the other features, allowing the gaze to drift naturally towards the eyes and the smile. A nose that looks good on a certain celebrity’s face may not necessarily look attractive on another person. No surgeon who has any integrity can promise to deliver a “perfect” nose because the definition changes from face to face.

A very common question that we’re asked is, “What’s better: CoolSculpting or liposuction?” The answer will depend on you and your personal aesthetic goals, but we can give you an overview of the differences between the two so that you can be better informed.

How is fat removed?
Liposuction removes fat by introducing a cannula into the body. The cannula will break up the fat and then suction it […]
The skin on your neck is very sensitive and can be one of the first parts of your body to start to show signs of aging. This is why the dreaded “turkey neck” can be such a major concern.

This appearance is often accompanied by horizontal lines or banding, especially if fat has accumulated under the chin.
Turkey neck is caused by a loosening of the underlying muscles of the neck, and a slackening […]
