Juvéderm^® Has Different Fillers to Fit Different Needs

Volume loss is one of the most visible signs of aging. Often when looking at an older person, it appears almost as if the person’s skin is a size too big.

CoolSculpting^® Is So Chill

If you think about it with food, it makes sense — fat becomes a solid and freezes at a higher temperature than tissue. Think about those Thanksgiving leftovers. You may eat your turkey sandwich cold, but if you do you surely cut off the congealed fatty areas first. That’s the idea behind CoolSculpting^®. It was discovered that fat cells froze […]

Bat Wings are for Night Flyers, Not You

In Las Vegas, we have no shortage of warm days that call for a sleeveless blouse or dress. But as we get older our upper arms areas aren’t on board with this fashion choice. The skin and muscle on the underside of the arms when we lift and move our arms can swing and flap. You may have heard of […]

Cosmetic Surgeon and Plastic Surgeon are NOT the Same

This may be touted as the Information Age, but there is no shortage of misinformation to go with it.

It could be reading too much into an offhand email. Or it could be thinking a person is sad or tired based on your reading of their droopy, hanging eyelids. And that person may […]

Time to Tuck That Tummy?

Time and tummy are not friends. It’s not that you can’t have a flat tummy as you get older, but it is much harder than when you’re young. Your abdominal muscles at 50 simply aren’t what they were at 20. Plus, if you were once heavier and have lost the weight, your skin and muscle often maintain a certain amount […]

Changing Your Nose

Your nose is such an important feature of your face, dominating perceptions. If it’s out of balance with your other features, it can really become a focal point when a person looks at you. This is obviously the case with certain celebrities, pretty much all men, who’ve used bulbous noses to create memorable faces. The actors Jimmy Durante and Karl […]
