Do you have loose body skin?

A clearer sign of aging than anything the face can show us is loose skin of the elbows, knees & abdomen. 

Thermage ( radiofrequency ) in appropriately selected patients can yield significant results without surgical scars or downtime. 

We offer free Thermage consultations in our Beverly Hills and Woodland Hills office to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment.

Buttock Augmentation

Buttock Augmentation is an area of cosmetic medicine which can be a cautionary tale ( no pun intended ).

Let's look at what goes on:


BUTTOCK IMPLANTS: Most plastic surgeons refuse to do these any longer because they will spend too much time having to remove them in patients whose implants have moved or become infected.


SILICONE INJECTIONS: Several deaths have been reported from these: silicone migrates and can clog essential blood vessels. End of story.


BIOALCAMIDE INJECTIONS: The use of this plastic is not approved in the US for any use and for good reason: it often induces late onset inflammation and infections with disastrous results.
