Happy Halloween!! These beautiful lips brought to you by power tools, not Juvederm. Carving a pumpkin with a Dremel tool is a ton of fun. And please ignore the anisocoria. #houstonplasticsurgery #houstonplasticsurgeon #htx #houston #juvederm #lipfillers #lipfiller

Dr. Cohen brought this 2 volume gem into my office this morning. It’s an amazing story of the beginnings of plastic surgery after World War 1 with all the patients of Sir Harold Gilles written by the slightly irreverent Dr. Maillard. The things they were able to do with pedicled flaps is absolutely amazing. I wish more textbooks were written in this conversational, interesting tone. It’s much more fun to read than the normal boring clinical book. And for only $1000 you can get a copy on Amazon. #plasticsurgeryhistory #houstonplasticsurgery #houstonplasticsurgeon

I try to learn something new every day. Today I’m at a conference to learn more about aesthetic breast surgery from the nation’s experts. Also learning about the current data regarding BIA-ALCL. It’s a busy day! #houstonplasticsurgery #houstonplasticsurgeon #htx #houston #htown #breastsurgeon #breastsurgery #breastlift #breastaug #breastaugmentation #mastopexy #mastopexyaug

Liposuction can be done for more than one reason. For this patient it was used for shaping and to harvest fat for fat grafting. I use fat grafting/transfer for improving volume and shape for a number of different areas. It is a great, long term filler for use in areas like the breasts, face, and buttocks. #fatgrafting #liposuction #fattransfer #houstonplasticsurgery #houstonplasticsurgeon #houstonliposuction #houstonluxury #bestplasticsurgeon #htx #houston #htown #houstonmodels #coolsculpting #luminaryplasticsurgery

Friday Fact: Plastic surgery isn’t just cosmetic (breasts, tummy tucks, face lifts, Botox). As a plastic surgeon, I’ve helped people from head to toe, and in this case ... a broken hand 🖐. As part of our extensive training, it’s mandatory that we learn a tremendous amount of human anatomy. Plastic surgeons go through 4 years of medical school and after that, 6 to 8 years of residency. It was totally worth it because I love what I do. Have a great weekend!

Passing on injection techniques for Juvederm and Botox to two Methodist Plastic Surgery residents. These are the two second year residents (who are both fully trained in General Surgery— making them 7th year residents!). #botox #botoxfiller #juvederm #houstonplasticsurgeon #houstonplasticsurgery #houston #htown #houstonluxury #htx #teaching

This morning I had the opportunity to talk to the Houston Methodist OBGYN residents about plastic surgery. I've always really enjoyed teaching & they were an engaged group with great questions! Happy Friday - have a great weekend! #houstonplasticsurgeon #houstonplasticsurgery #houston #htown #htx #houstonmethodist #abdominoplasty #tummytuck #mommymakeover #doctorsintraining

What is wrong with this breast implant? Swipe to see a video. The implant is covered in a scar, also known as a capsule. A scar forms around every implanted object....a knee replacement, a pacemaker, or a breast implant. Sometimes this scar thickens and begins to shrink. This can lead to what is called capsular contracture. It’s not as much of a problem with a rigid device like a hip replacement, but for a soft, moldable object like a breast implant, this can lead to distortion and pain. In this patient, the capsule was thick and had obviously distorted the implant, enough to cause folds and corners! When this happens, the best treatment is removal of the scar and implant. The implant can be replaced or not, totally up to the patient. The cost of the removal of the capsule and implant is usually covered by the implant warranty or insurance. #enbloccapsulectomy #breastimplantremoval #breastimplants #boobjob #breastaug #breastaugmentation #houstonplasticsurgery #houstonplasticsurgeon #houston #htx #htown #breastsurgery
