The Three Costs of Plastic Surgery

Tuesday, November 10, 2026

"You have to pay the surgeon for their expertise. You have to use a facility, right? So, that's kinda like renting the room, renting the operating room, and all the prices that go into making that surgery happen, including the staff. And then the third is anesthesia because you are usually going to sleep in some capacity, and so you are paying an expert in anesthesia for that as well."

Thursday, November 5, 2026

"Compression garments, in my practice, I use these to just help somewhat control and reduce the swelling and improve contour, especially if we're doing some amount of fat grafting."


How Long Does Filler Last?

Thursday, October 29, 2026

"With filler, the FDA labels clearly state about how long they last. So, typically, they're around six, nine, 12 months. Some of the fillers actually last 18, 60 months. Having said that, knowledge is power, definitely know what type of filler you got because you know approximately how long it lasts."

Spooky-sounding surgeries that aren't actually scary

Ariel Frankeny | Freelance Writer Friday, October 30, 2026

Terms like "cadaver tissue graft," "fat harvesting" and "skin flap" can sound more at home in a Halloween movie than in an operating room. Add "vampire treatments" to the mix, and it's easy to understand why someone encountering these plastic surgery terms for the first time might do a double – or triple – take.
