The Center for Cosmetic Surgery

It’s all about fit…

Same flight to Boston -- figured I'd make good on my vow to invigorate the blog with at least one new post. As I prepared for the weekend, I did a little shopping for a new pair of fall boots. (Ended up with a Frye Logger boot for the random few among you who have …

The Undead Blog

As I sit here on a plane bound for Boston before Thanksgiving weekend, I am, appropriately, struck by a few of the things for which I am profoundly grateful:  My amazing wife, the all-around awesomeness of my two boys, and the medical practice that keeps me alternately busy, challenged, fed, fulfilled, humbled, inspired, and endlessly …

How Long Does a Facelift Last? (Updated 2024)

When people considering a facelift ask, "How long does it last?" the standard response is usually 10 to 15 years. However, this question baffles me—but not because I am unaware of my patients' evolution after facelift surgery. The question baffles me because the word "last" is open to interpretation.

Capsular Contraction: A New Solution

Today, I saw a breast augmentation patient in my Denver practice who has had multiple capsular contractions.

Our Black Diamond Status

It's not necessarily true that a surgeon who does a high volume of a certain procedure is very good at it. But it is true that a surgeon can't be very good at a procedure unless he or she does a high volume.  In line with this but at the risk of sounding as if I'm bragging about …

Buttock fat injections

My practice manager and I were noticing that inquiries coming into the Center for Cosmetic Surgery regarding fat injections to the buttocks seem to be increasing. I'll admit, fat injection sounds really cool: the ability to take your own natural fat and move it to another area of the body seems enticing. Furthermore, the plastic …

Breast Implant “Redo”― Helpful?

I saw two consults today who had previous breast implant surgery and came to me wanting new, bigger breast implants. During these discussions at my Denver practice, it became evident that both women thought that changing their implants ("re-doing" their augmentation surgery) would improve their breast shape. It doesn't. Changing implants, called an implant exchange, simply removes the …

The Key to Your Best Results

The topic of cosmetic surgery seems to be a fertile playing ground for fun and interactive blogging. That was my thinking when this site was initially created; however, I have fallen short of actually posting. So... I now publicly (although to few, if any readers for now) challenge myself to jump start what I feel …
