This is crucial for developing and maintaining healthy bones and muscles, energy and mood. However, it is estimated that 90% of skin aging… [Read More]
Anesthesia 101
Many aesthetic procedures require some type of anesthesia. Even with something as simple as Botox® and/or dermal fillers, I will sometimes numb the treatment area first with a topical anesthetic cream or gel in order to make your experience as comfortable as possible. However, anesthesia is something that many of my Boston area patients find… [Read More]
Pain Management Tactics
“Is it going to hurt?” This is probably one of the two most common questions I get from my Boston area patients.

As an intrinsic part of our survival instinct, the… [Read More]
Where to Have Your Procedure — Surgery Center, Hospital or Office?
The internet has become a fantastic education tool for patients.

What is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia?
More and more body contouring patients are coming into the office asking about paradoxical adipose hyperplasia following Linda Evangelista’s recent publicity about her experience with CoolSculpting®. In case you’ve been living under a media blackout, the former 1980’s supermodel, after having a series of CoolSculpting® procedures over a two-year period, developed a condition known as paradoxical… [Read More]
Look Better, Not Different
Aesthetic surgery can get a bad rap in the media. Magazines love to flaunt pictures of celebrities who no longer look like themselves. And yes, there are a number of famous people who have chosen to use aesthetic procedures or surgery to change how they look. However, this has never been my philosophy. My job,… [Read More]
