Featured Rejuvenation # 10

  For a number of years I have been featuring outstanding patients on my web page as “Featured Rejuvenations”.  I am proud to feature Janice on whom I recently treated.  Her facelift improved her sagging neck skin and jowls while the cheek implants added youthful volume back to her face.  Her pictures and words are […]

My One Hundredth Blog!

Several years ago, the notion of surgeons (or anybody for that matter) hosting blogs came to forefront of social media.  The word “blog” is short for “web log” which is a collection of writings by a person.  This is somewhat of an online diary or compilation of musings that an audience may or may not […]

On Being a Vegan: the first 100 days

Exercise and proper nutrition have been an important regimen in my life for the last 40 years.  Over the years, I have trained as hard as competitive athletes and I have the knee and shoulder operations to prove it!   Over this time, I pretty much subscribed to the old school theory of high protein and […]

Botox Customization and the Droopy Brow

The discovery of neuromodulators to treat hyperfunctional lines was the cosmetic shot heard around the world and ushered in the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world.  When I began injecting Botox in 1996, it was a pretty much unheard of cosmetic therapy and the “pretty poison” was only used by those early adapters.  Back […]

Writing a Textbook: the hardest thing I have ever done.

Over the years I have written several hundred cosmetic surgery journal articles, text book chapters and general publication articles.  Over this time I have edited three textbooks and contributed 18 chapters to other author’s textbooks. Last September, I was asked to write a textbook on cosmetic facial surgery by Elsevier which is one of the […]
