When we think about non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the face and injectable treatments, in particular, it may not be clear what the difference is between fillers and Botox, neuromodulator or Hyaluronic acid. Botox and dermal fillers are different and they accomplish different things but they work very well together.
Botulinum toxin is a natural, purified protein, also referred to as a neuromodulator, and is used to temporarily weaken specific facial muscles which cause lines and wrinkles. Other brands of neuromodulators are Xeomin and Dysport. These powerful medications aren’t new and are among the most researched and trialed medications on the market. […]

During a consultation like this you’ll have […]
When you take a look at your butt, what do you see and think? If it is anything other than positive, you may be thinking about having a butt augmentation procedure performed. In the recent years, butt augmentation has become somewhat of a fad and is one of the latest trends in plastic surgery.
The reason behind the jump in Brazilian butt lift procedures is mainly because of media coverage of women’s bottoms. Who wouldn’t desire to have a bottom such as Kim Kardashian’s, J-Lo’s, or even Nicki Minaj? Since women everywhere see these bodacious bottoms, they often want one for […]
One of the primary concerns that many patients considering plastic surgery have is regarding the amount of “downtime” or recovery time that they may have to endure after their procedure. While it’s true that almost all operations—cosmetic or otherwise—will require some degree of time spent recovering, the duration of these periods of time can vary widely from one procedure to the next and likely aren’t quite as lengthy as you may have been lead to believe.
Most patients want to minimize the amount of downtime between having a procedure and being able to return to their daily routines. The amount of […]

Tummy tucks (also called abdominoplasty surgery) have seen a surge in popularity in recent years. And while the majority of patients undergo this procedure for cosmetic reasons, there are also several medical benefits to getting a tummy tuck as well.
The following is an outline of some of the medical benefits of this procedure.
Helps to reduce the risk of diabetes and hypertension
Although significant obesity and diabetes are relative contraindications to having tummy tuck surgery, once a person loses weight they usually still have a lot of extra hanging tissue. Removing this extra tissue has been shown to lessen insulin resistance (diabetes) […]
When you look at the back of someone, would you agree that it’s the butt that gets the most attention? It’s no wonder that part of keeping in shape involves toning your buttocks in an effort to keep them looking firm, perky and rounded. The primary muscles here are known as the gluteal, which are actually composed of three parts, dependent on how deep into the buttock you go: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus is the largest. Whenever you do squats, for example, you’re working primarily on this muscle. The same goes for lunges, deadlifts, […]
1. Follow All Pre-Operative Instructions
The first step in ensuring a speedy labia reduction recovery is following all pre-operative instructions provided by Dr. Edelstein.

A common goal or all patients seeking rejuvenation surgery (facelift and brow lift) is a natural “not-done” appearance. The following are signs that surgeons must avoid to prevent an unnatural looking, obviously “done” facelift or brow lift.Common Signs Of A Bad Facelift
Stretched or Distorted Skin
Facelifts that are performed by excising and pulling the skin back incorrectly oe excessively often leave the patient with stretched or distorted skin. Modern surgical techniques, like the SMAS procedure, avoid this result by primarily targeting tissues located below the skin. When internal structures are shifted, the skin itself is not stretched as much and a […]
Though folk wisdom tells us that beauty is determined by the eye of the beholder, recent scientific studies have begun to provide a more objective standard. The latest advances in this field have come from the work conducted by Dr. P. Mallucci, a British Plastic Surgeon.
Breast augmentation has long been the most popular plastic surgery procedure among women, yet there are currently no guides available that provide reference measurements common to a “perfect breast.” While skilled Plastic Surgeons are able to successfully enhance their patient’s breasts, the industry lacks a set of defined measurements capable of providing a good rule […]
