We are pleased that the Dallas County Medical Society has put our two doctors, Drs. Harlan and Todd A. Pollock, on the cover of their June 2011 DMJ (Dallas Medical Journal). Inside, there is an article about them called “Father and Son, MD” and it describes the special father-son relationship they have and how this […]

The potential patient should beware if they hear an advertisement that says they can have plastic surgery while only under a local anesthesia. This is usually a tip off that the surgeon is not a plastic surgeon and is operating in a non-accredited facility. For more information, see our discussion about Accreditation is the Key […]

Many patients tell us how they fear getting a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) because of the difficult post-operative period that their friends had after their surgery. During our tummy tuck consultation we explain how – based on the “no-drain abdominoplasty” approach we created and our over 50 years combined experience with it – our patients describe […]

Board certified plastic surgeons are seeing an increase of patients coming in who are dissatisfied from previous procedures they’ve had. Other patients arrive with complications from surgeries done by unqualified practitioners. This is reflected in a news release from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) website about a FL family physician allowing unqualified […]

The “vampire facelift” is being locally and nationally discussed as a natural filler to avoid the need for a facelift. While this may sound interesting, it is an unproven technique. A patient’s own blood derivatives are injected into the soft-tissues of the face to cause swelling similar to what a synthetic filler does. Long term […]

Awake plastic surgery offers comparatively inexpensive liposuction, breast enhancement or abdominoplasty in a doctor’s office without general anesthesia. At least one patient said ads for the procedure made her feel that being awake would allow her to retain more control, but critics say the procedure is often performed by doctors with no plastic surgery training […]
