I do a lot of BBLs (aka Brazilian Buttlifts aka fat grafting of the buttocks). It’s a great procedure that can take a square, middle aged, sponge Bob looking torso and make it more youthful, sexy and feminine. I am a fan. I deal with all shapes and sizes of patients who come in with …

So many patients come in for the first time for Botox treatment and express their concern about not wanting to look “fake” or “frozen”. It is always a good topic for conversation.

The world of liposuction can be a little confusing to the lay reader. It is the most popular cosmetic procedure annually, and not surprisingly, there are many competing factions or tribes staking claim to superiority of technique and technology. After its initial baptism by Oprah, Smartlipo™ has been at the forefront of newer technologies in liposuction. Physicians who own and …

She has the most famous and photographed butt in the world. Her butt has also changed the way many women think about their butts. Photoshop and surgical manipulations aside, what are we to make of this? Back in the 80s and 90s, when a more Caucasian aesthetic seemed to be in vogue, boobs were it. Pornography was …
