“My Medical Choice” was written by Angelina Jolie and published by the New York Times on May 14, 2013. Thank goodness for Angelina’s interest in public health and education! In her essay, she publicly announced that she underwent preventive double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction because she is Breast Cancer Gene (BRCA1) positive. Her gene positivity … Continue reading The “Angelina Jolie” Procedure
View MoreI see many men and women in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s who desire a fresher appearance. While some, like the 20-somethings, do not merit a surgical procedure, individuals with manifestations of aging who would benefit from a surgical procedure might not be ready for this step. For both of these groups, minimally invasive … Continue reading Dip your toe in the pool with minimally invasive treatments!

View MoreNeck Tightening – Are you ready for this? Neck aging is a focus for many of my patients. Significant weight loss, aging, accumulated sun exposure and genetics all contribute to necks with banding, jowling along the jaw line, and lax skin. (Remember Ally Mcbeal and the waddle fetish?) I see this in women in their … Continue reading Neck Tightening – Are you ready for this?
View MoreWhy talk about fitness in a surgical blog? Because fitness will optimize surgical outcomes, and as a plastic surgeon aiming to get the best possible results, I cannot deny that it takes more than surgery to get my patients superior results. The better your health, the better your surgical outcome. Plastic surgery is not a … Continue reading Fitness and Plastic Surgery: The Perfect Pair
View MoreYes, this is true. We know and love the traditional soccer mom. In the past we gave her a “pass” for her unkempt appearance, lack of fitness, grooming, and style because it was understood that she does not have time for herself. We recognized that she was juggling a busy life the best she could, … Continue reading Posh Spice is the New Soccer Mom
View MoreI see many men and women in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s who would like a subtle spruce up without surgery. Some might not frankly need a surgical procedure, particularly the 20-somethings. Some actually might benefit from a surgical procedure, but they either don’t need it or don’t want it. For this group, minimally … Continue reading Dip your toe in the pool with minimally invasive treatments!
View MoreHow can we look more youthful and fresh? Most of my patients don’t pull up on their faces wanting that simulated facelift with a windblown, tight result. Sure, lifting is a part of rejuvenation. Tissues sag with age, and this leads to lower brows, descent of the “apple” of the cheek into the jowl elongating … Continue reading Volumetry: A New Dimension in Facial Rejuvenation

This is a new day, with new safety protocols. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and respect the continued concerns COVID-19 may present.
The state of Maryland is now fortunately downgraded to Yellow Status. COVID stress on the medical system has lessened and most areas in the state no longer mandate masks.
Currently in our office we are maintaining sterile surfaces and compulsive cleaning protocols – as always. We are requesting information about vaccination status, to particularly better help us prepare for patients interested in surgical procedures.
We are not mandating masks. We do respect our patients’ wishes and will wear a mask when requested to do so. We want our patients to be absolutely comfortable. All of our staff are vaccinated.
This is certainly an evolving issue and we will continue to pivot as COVID statistics change – hopefully for the better! Thank you!
