Plastic Surgery for Senior Citizens? Yes.

Posted August 15, 2011 in Blog

A recent article in the New York Times discusses the increased frequency of cosmetic surgery in people in their “golden years”. We find this trend to be accurate and agree that cosmetic surgery, especially facelifts, can be done safely in a healthy senior. In order to improve the safety of patients of any age having […]

Posted May 14, 2011 in Blog

“Stem cell facelifts” involve fat (stem cells) injections into the face. However, the use of them lacks scientific proof that they “rejuvenate” the skin. In our practice we use fat harvested by the body jet system (“Aqua ShapeSM Liposuction”) to add lost volume to the aging face, which we have found to improve appearance in […]
