Eyelid Surgery — the Secret Way to Take Off a Decade

The misperception is a part of being human. Sometimes we simply get our information wrong. It could be taking something a person said the wrong way.

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.

Get Your Squeeze On with Compression Garments After Lipo

Our patients often wonder why they have to traipse around feeling like they’re wearing Spanx for weeks after they have liposuction. Isn’t the fat gone? So, what’s with the squeezing everything in? Dr. Herte recommends her patients wear compression garments for around six weeks following most liposuction procedures. There are three really good reasons why.

Implant Revision

Implant revision is not a popular procedure, but it usually is a necessary one. Before having augmentation, patients often wonder why someone would need revision surgery (unless an implant ruptures, obviously).

Liposuction is the procedure that can make those pockets go away. Since Dr. Herte performs many liposuction procedures, we thought […]

Before you know it you have creases between your eyebrows and your brows have […]
