Hello everyone! Healing takes good nutrition rest and time. Patients sometimes wonder why we asked them to wait up to 2 months before they are allowed to exercise or do any strenuous activity and this graph shows why. At 42 days out from surgery, roughly 6 weeks the wound has finally approached a reasonable degree of healing at 70% final healing strength. When you exercise or do too much too soon you run the risk of having the wounds separate or scars open up prematurely before they have a chance to become strong and resilient. Full healing can take up to a year and if you're not eating enough proteins or good nutrition it can take longer. Be safe everyone!

Today we honor the memory of those lost on that fateful day. We all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing. Each day is a blessing. Am grateful to those who serve to help keep us safe. Peace

Good morning everyone! Lego is probably the most popular toy in America and certainly was my favorite growing up. Proteins are a lot like Legos. They are made of individual amino acids that your body combines to create different proteins it needs. Just like the individual pieces of Lego can be used to create houses bridges cars etc. The source of the protein doesn't matter as much as the quantity. All of the bodies organs, skin cells, and muscles are made from protein. The average woman needs about 50 g of protein a day to be healthy. This number can go as high as 75 to 100 g per day during the immediate post-surgery time. Your body increases protein requirements during the healing process to make adequate scar tissue, fight infection and give you the best result possible. So don't skimp out on the protein before surgery and after!

Hello again! Besides surgery I do enjoy cooking and creating. My new toy is an ice cream maker and here is my first take on a banana berry ice cream. By weight it is 70% fruit 10% whole milk 10% heavy cream and 10% sugar. No preservatives loaded with potassium and antioxidants. And it's delicious. Got to have some ice cream on these crazy hot days. Stay cool everyone!

Hello all! hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. I wanted to make a quick post about the rice test. The rice test is something you do at home to estimate a breast implant size. Take the rice put it in a Ziploc bag and insert it into a sports bra. This will give you a good estimate on what size implant you are looking for. However it's very important to remember you're going to do the rice test on volume not weight. As this picture shows 250 mls of rice is not the same weight as 250 mls of water. If you use rice weight you will wind up underestimating the correct implant size.
More post to follow. Take care and thank you!

Good morning! This is a follow up from my lovely patient who had a breast reduction 360 lipo with vaser and a BBL she is doing great looks fabulous and is happy with her outcome so far. At 3 months she has kept almost all of her butt and hip volume. At this point she continues to heal but has no restrictions on sports activity or exercise thank you.

Hello again! This lovely patient is 2 months post surgery from 360 liposuction with vaser and BBL
She has 1100cc into each buttock cheek and has a fantastic result.
At this point she is still careful with diet and compression. I usually let patients start light exercise.

The pics have been edited to comply with Instagram nudity guidelines

Thank you

Good morning! Just wanted to discuss BBL surgery. Many times you'll see posts on Instagram stating how much fat was added but often times what is injected is the total volume of liposuction re-injected. This is a little bit misleading since there's always some water and blood which does not contribute to any long-term volume in the butt. Whenever I do BBL surgery the fat is washed and drained removing the blood and water so that only the purified fat cells are reinjected into the butt giving the best long-term results. There's always a small percent of loss even in these circumstances but we adjust for that. Thank you!

Happy Friday! Here's an example of a tummy tuck. One of the most important parts of a tummy tuck is the muscle tightening correction usually after pregnancy and weight loss the abdominal muscles become progressively more and more stretched out leading to a bulge. here you can see the purple lines being tightened together those lines indicate the edges of where her abdominal muscles are. the after picture those two purple lines are now touching because that is the degree to which they were returned back to normal The skin flaps are cut off and removed at the end of the case showing how much excess loose skin can be removed at it this procedure. Thank you
