Every spring, the entire medical aesthetic community looks forward to the release of the previous year's statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons®, or ASPS. 2016's numbers are just beginning to trickle in, and so far the word we’re hearing most is "fat." As many of my breast augmentation patients in Fort Myers can tell…
Anyone thinking about getting rid of pockets of stubborn fat is probably aware that nonsurgical fat reduction treatments can get some pretty impressive results. Procedures such as CoolSculpting®, for example, produce very nice outcomes for our patients. But for patients who either want more dramatic results or want to remove fat from multiple areas, the…
People researching liposuction online quickly discover that the procedure goes by multiple names. That can get confusing. When it comes time to choose a plastic surgeon to perform liposuction in the Naples-Fort Myers area, it's always good to know what you'll need to ask. Liposuction is a versatile treatment that can tone several different areas…

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…

The deadline for filing 2015 tax returns is here, and for some people that means the anticipation of a refund check from Uncle Sam.

Many people are skeptical about the effectiveness of hair transplant treatments.
