"Before I came to see you, I was reluctant to smile because it caused my nose to hook to
the left. Being self-conscience about smiling was heartbreaking. I want to personally thank you for your kindness, expertise, and skilled hands that transformed a once very crooked nose into a straight and beautiful work of art."

Fat or fillers?
Posted February 07, 2010 3:08 PM in Uncategorized

Lots of patients inquire about the use of fat vs fillers (Restylane, Juvederm,Radiesse etc) for youthful enhancement.

Simply summarized, here are the pros and cons of each: Fat is your own tissue, its often available in quantity (unfortunately!) and is very versatile in many areas of the face (lip, brow, cheek fold etc).

Many patients come to see me wanting a specific named lift. Often they’ve seen or heard about it on TV, magazines or the internet. They are often excited and hoping to hear that there is a “new” lift which they can have in an hour, immediately return to normal activity, have no recovery time, little risk and look 20 years younger! I wish it were so. So what are these lifts? As the trend to less invasive procedures has increased surgeons have developed a variety of procedures using shorter incisions (the “S”). In selected patients these offer the option of improved appearance with quicker recovery and less downtime. Despite all the different claims of uniqueness, most of these are all variations of similar... continue
