Welcome to Women's Plastic Surgery Blog!


Welcome to the new blog, Women's Plastic Surgery!

I will be entering weekly updates on all plastic surgery topics, relevant to my patients, women and to the public in general.

I am one member of a unique all-women Plastic Surgeon group, Women's Plastic Surgery.

See our website, http://womensplasticsurgery.com for information on our practice and as a more detailed reference for content posted in this blog.

I will be posting topics including details of common cosmetic surgery procedures, including breast augmentation, breast lift/reduction, liposuction, tummy tucks, and the "mommy makeover" spectrum of procedures.

Special attention will be paid to the latest breast cancer reconstruction techniques, as this is a major focus of my practice. You will learn about microsurgical reconstruction including the DIEP flap, SIEA flap, TUG (inner thigh) flap, and immediate single-stage implant reconstruction following mastectomy.

Keep in tune also for information about the latest facial rejuvenation techniques, including facelifts/browlifts, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and non-invasive strategies such as Botox, fillers, lasers, and more!

I welcome your comments and look forward to hearing from you.
