The Benefits of Two CoolSculpting Machines (DualSculpting)
Since I started providing CoolSculpting in my practice in early April, there’s one thing I’m particularly happy that I did. I bought two machines! This was a gamble of sorts. Here I was, bringing a new technology into my practice that required a substantial investment and rather than playing it safe and getting one machine, […]
Do I always need general anesthesia?
For many patients considering cosmetic surgery, one of their major concerns is the type of anesthesia that will be used. “Will I need to be completely knocked out?”, “What if I don’t wake up?” are among some pretty standard questions I hear during the consultation. To better answer these questions, let’s agree on the terminology […]
What you can do while CoolSculpting!
Now that I’ve been offering CoolSculpting for the last several months, I’ve noticed something very funny. CoolSculpting patients take full advantage of their time while receiving treatment. Since it doesn’t hurt and requires laying in a comfortable exam table for at least an hour, patients can do pretty much anything to pass the time. […]
Under Eye Bags? Now you have options!
For patients that have under eye bags, you have so many more options than you did just a few years ago. These options range from totally non-invasive (no needles), to non-surgical (needles but no surgery and no downtime) to minimally invasive (surgery but minimal downtime). If you have under eye bags, you can consider […]
Shaped Breast Implants
If you’re in the market for breast augmentation, you’ve probably read about shaped breast implants by now. As opposed to round implants, shaped breast implants have more of a tear-drop shape, that makes them potentially more natural appearing. Often when patients come in for a breast augmentation consult, they say they want […]
Please help: I’m addicted to CoolSculpting!
As promised in this post about my CoolSculpting experience, it’s been about 2.5 months since I treated my flanks, so here are my results below! As you can tell, the “love handles” have disappeared. Great results from a totally non-invasive, no-downtime procedure! My weight hasn’t changed so the results you’re seeing are all […]
Botox for Blushing
Do you have anxiety that leads to facial blushing? Apparently you’re not the only one! Many folks around the world complain of blushing during times of anxiety, embarrassment or any emotional extreme. The problem is that when others see your facial blushing, they comment on it, making you feel more self-conscious, thus leading to more […]
Blepharoplasty and SurgiSculpting™
I recently had a patient come into our in-office OR for an upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) with fat injections to the hollows under the eyes and along the cheekbones. The procedure was performed under sedation, not general anesthesia. This means that the patient was given medication via her IV and drifted off to sleep. Her […]

CoolSculpting Your Thigh Gap Away!
By now you’ve heard of the non-surgical fat reduction technique called CoolSculpting. One of the things that separates CoolSculpting from all other non-surgical fat reduction treatments is that it works! And not only does it work to non-surgically reduce pockets of stubborn fat in the abdomen or love handles but it can also give you […]
