MY PHILOSOPHY
We believe in spending time to get to know each patient and understand what is important to them. We then
spend time doing an analysis on the issues that concern them and formulate a plan that is consistent with their desires and budget

THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE ME
Passionate, dedicated, personable
4
CAREER-DEFINING PROCEDURE
Breast augmentation was and still is my favorite! It has such an impact on a woman’s confidence. The introduction of “Gummy Bear” implants changed my whole practice. I also love the art of injectables for the face and like to layer different products to create a more natural effect

We offer the highest level of care combined with a full list of services
that enable us to treat any concerns or issues that our patients may have
6
MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT
Being the first person in my family to graduate college and medical school and then attending Harvard for my surgical training
7
THE PROCEDURE I PERFORM MOST OFTEN
When I began practicing in 1991, breast augmentation and liposuction were my most popular procedures. While they remain extremely popular, now Botox® and fillers top the list

MY MOTTO
Aging stops here!

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS MEDICAL MYTH I’VE HEARD
That implants need to be replaced every 10 years
10
THE FUTURE OF MY FIELD
It's all about prejuvenation and not growing old then trying to look young which is much more difficult to do. With the advancements in technology to tighten skin and restore volume patients may never need facelifts!
11
HOW MY PROFESSION HAS EVOLVED
Before, there was no real understanding of how the face aged. Pulling the skin tighter with a facelift was the best way to appear more
youthful. This also made the face look very unnatural. We now realize that volume loss is the biggest contributor to facial aging and correct it by utilizing volumizing fillers that allow the face to age gracefully and naturally

WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOUR PRACTICE OFFERS THAT IS REALLY UNIQUE?
We have a full-service cosmetic
center that includes our own
operating room, the most advanced
noninvasive and minimally invasive
technologies, a dozen lasers, and a
team of experts that works closely
with me. Our mission is to give great
results and great experiences
15
IS THERE ONE PROCEDURE OR OPERATION THAT CHANGED YOUR CAREER?
Non surgical skin tightening devices, neurotoxins and fillers have added a whole non surgical component to my practice. Patients who don't want as much down time as surgery now have options.
16
WHY DO YOU EMPLOY A LESS-IS-MORE APPROACH?
I find most patients want two things:
to get the best possible results with
the least amount of disruption to
their lives, and to look like better
versions of themselves. Thanks to
great innovation, my team and I are
able to give better and better results
with less office time, less downtime
and less drastic changes

MY FAVORITE WAY TO START THE DAY
