THE NEW YORK CITY PLASTIC SURGEON, PC

It would make sense that a surgery that reduces fat would be optimized for patients who have a lot of it, and yet the reality is that these procedures were actually designed for people
In the world of surgical procedures, there are two modes: emergency and elective. By definition, emergency surgeries are those that must happen now, or at the very least sometime in the next 8 hours.

For scar therapy, you can’t argue with the data on silicone and sunblock. But for the other nemesis of cosmetic surgery, unsightly and uncomfortable swelling, there is Arnica.
Every once in a while, as you gaze at one of your favorite celebrities who just really hit the big-time, you start to wonder…. what in the world did she do to herself? She still looks sort of like herself, but somehow things just seem off. Even stranger, you know she is young, and she
