Are you considering cosmetic surgery? What was once a private topic of conversation amongst only your best girlfriends is now the subject of reality shows and open discussions at the water cooler.

A large portion of his practice is also focused on rhinoplasty, various facial enhancements and both cosmetic and reconstructive breast procedures.
