When patients are exploring filler for their lips and the lines around the lips, the number one concern we hear in our office is “I don’t want to look like a duck!". Reality television has given many people the false belief all lip filler looks unnatural. Rest assured, in our hands, you don’t have to…
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Med Spa of Naples, we want to take time this month to give thanks for our wonderful patients. This time of year, we are always particularly mindful of how fortunate we are to have the honor to care for you. Trusting us with your most intimate concerns and…
One of the most popular and versatile procedures I perform is liposuction. At our Naples/Fort Myers practice, many patients benefit from incorporating liposuction into other cosmetic procedures for the face, breast and body. All of us have unwanted fat (at least a little), and it allows me to sculpt new contours in many areas of the body,…
When it comes to skincare treatments, it's important to go to someone you trust. Putting the fate of your beautiful face into someone else’s hands should not be taken lightly.

A cosmetically appealing scar can make or break a patient’s post-surgical appearance and greatly affect the way a patient views their results. We have three tips for minimizing the appearance of post-procedure scars. First…
One of the most noteworthy trends in breast augmentation procedures is the number of women who want smaller breast implants and more natural-looking results. Patients simply want to look like the best possible version of themselves — and that's the philosophy that drives everything we do at the practice. For breast augmentation in particular, there…
One of the most popular and gratifying cosmetic procedures I perform is the Mommy Makeover (a combination procedure usually consisting of a tummy tuck, liposuction, and a breast enhancement procedure such as breast augmentation). At my Naples-Fort Myers, Florida practice, I’ve noted that moms are often surprised in their consultations to learn that there are…
We tend to assume most of our facial lines and wrinkles come from expressions. Hence, the so called “smoker’s lines" around the mouth, “crow’s feet" around the eyes, and “bunny lines" around the nose. While it is true many lines on the face are formed as a result of repeated facial movements, often patients will…
