Procedures include breast augmentation, breast reshaping, breast reduction, male gynecomastia treatment. Procedures include contouring after large weight loss, tummy tuck, gynecomastia, liposuction, back, thigh and buttock lifts. I am certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and have been specializing in cosmetic plastic surgery for 34 years.
I came here after spending four years in medical school and six years in plastic surgery residency at Stanford University. I became a plastic surgeon, because I am passionate about using my artistic sense and surgical skills to enhance my patients' bodies. Over the years, I have developed some innovative surgical techniques, and use the most effective surgical procedures and technologies for my patients.
Your happiness is my top priority. I want you to feel better about yourself and to have increased self-confidence. My objective is to match the person my patients see in their mind with the one they see in the mirror. One thing that makes my practice special is that I perform all medical care myself.

A facelift makes the cheeks and neck more youthful and more attractive.
As we age, our skin stretches and loses its elasticity.
Fat remains attached to the skin, so there is often an excess of fat in the inner cheek folds and in the jowls.
Often, the underlying primitive muscle layer stretches and contributes to sagging of the cheeks and loss of a youthful neck contour.
Over the past several years, we have become aware that some of us also lose fat in the middle of our cheeks and temples as we age.

Traditional (uses a scar from one ear to the other, and is very effective in eliminating scowling).
Endoscopic (uses five small scars, and is very effective in elevating the forehead accurately).

The "closed" technique is used mostly for patients having changes in the upper two-thirds of their nose.
All scars are inside the nose.
The open technique is very useful to precisely change the shape of the nasal tip in addition to the upper nose.
It includes an external (outside) scar across the strut between the nostrils.
The goal is to provide symmetry and proportion to the upper, middle, and lower parts of the nose.
This is done by either reducing, increasing, narrowing, or widening appropriate parts.

When interacting with others, the eyes and eyelids are probably the most important features on our face.
They show a tremendous amount of emotion.
It is natural for us to gaze into each other's eyes to determine happiness, sadness, anger, vigor or fatigue.
Any visit to a store selling cosmetics attests to the emphasis on the attractiveness of the eyelids.
In order for these cosmetics to be really effective, they have to be applied to well-shaped, smooth eyelids.
Taking away the excess skin and puffiness that occurs with aging is the purpose of eyelid surgery.
