There is nothing as effective as surgery to remove unwanted fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Unfortunately, it can’t stop there. What makes the outcome ‘successful’ longterm is when a patient continues to maintain proper nutrition, daily exercise and adequate sleep. Maintaining one’s diet and workout routine along with surgery will definitely contribute to long-lasting results that all patients (and doctors) want!
What I do is work with my patients pre-surgically and post-surgically to try and identify healthy lifestyles that will help maintain their liposuction results.
These patterns could be

Question: What Alternatives Are There to Liposuction?
Answer: No procedure has the safety and result profile that liposuction has, however, I believe that soon we will have safe chemicals that we will be able to inject that will dissolve small areas of diet and exercise resistant fat. Hopefully we will also have non invasive devices that will dissolve fat by heating it to higher temperatures that will reduce fat and also promote skin elasticity.

Question: Will liposuction of the neck give me a nice tight looking neck or do I need a neck lift?
Answer: To get a great result with liposuction of the neck without a true open neck lift you must be a good candidate for the procedure. If your neck has fatty deposits between the skin and the muscles and your overlying skin has good to excellent elasticity, properly performed minimally invasive liposuction of the neck will give you a smooth tight neck with youthful contours, without cutting skin and tightening muscles. Patients of all ages with good to excellent skin elasticity […]

Introduction to Rhinoplasty
There’s a reason the nose draws so much attention; it sits at the center of the face, influencing how every other feature is perceived. Even subtle imbalances in shape, projection, or symmetry can shift the overall harmony of your appearance, sometimes in ways that are difficult to explain but impossible to ignore. For many patients, it’s not about wanting a different nose; it’s about wanting a nose that feels like it truly belongs to them.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most intricate and individualized procedures in facial plastic surgery, requiring both technical precision and an aesthetic […]

Introduction to Otoplasty
There are certain features that quietly shape how you feel every time you catch your reflection, and for many patients, the ears are one of them. Whether it’s ears that project more than you’d like, asymmetry that draws your attention in photos, or a shape that has never quite felt balanced with the rest of your face, it’s often something you’ve noticed for years, even if others haven’t. And while it may seem like a small detail, it can carry a surprising amount of emotional weight.

Introduction to Neck Lift Surgery
Turning back the signs of aging in the face and neck can range from using nonsurgical options to electing a facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift. Facial aging is accelerated by gravity, excessive sun exposure, and smoking. The signs are seen on the surface of the face and neck skin as wrinkles and in the deeper layers of the face and neck as soft-tissue loss, which intensifies skin sagging.
