  • What do I need to do in the week leading up to surgery to prepare?

    Normally, your surgeon is supposed to provide you with written instructions. Since that is not the case, I instruct my patients: To avoid taking Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, vitamin E, and other anti-inflammatory drugs that may cause bleeding at least one week prior to the surgery date. You also need an adult to escort you home after the procedure. The day of surgery, don't wear your jewelry. READ MORE

  • PRP or dermafillers?

    PRP is a procedure using your own blood and lasts for two years, while the JUVIDERM filler lasts for one year.

Just remember, the nose shape has to balance with your facial features. READ MORE
