When can I get my nose wet after rhinoplasty?
This is something you should discuss with your plastic surgeon. Each surgeon's protocol is slightly different. For my patients, I ask them to keep their nose dry for 5 days, which is when we remove the nasal splint in the office. READ MORE
Is it normal to have uneven breasts after augmentation?
It is normal to have some small asymmetries after any surgery. If the asymmetry is not subtle/minor, then I encourage you to discuss this with your surgeon. READ MORE
What is the best procedure to remove wrinkles?
It depends upon where the wrinkles are and how significant they are. Some wrinkles improve well with injectable products (ex: Botox or fillers). Others are best treated with surgery.
