“I looked in the mirror one morning and there they were: bags under my eyes! Maybe they were there for longer than I knew, but I couldn’t stop seeing them. I tried concealer, but they were still there. I tried cucumber slices: no help. So I mustered up my courage and made an appointment to talk to Dr. Ditesheim.”

Question: What can I do for dark circles under my eyes?

Answer: Essentially, you have four choices: makeup, skin treatment, injection, or surgery.

Maybe it is time for a Mommy Makeover… It wasn’t until after I stopped nursing that I really looked at my breasts. My once small but perky breasts had become a little flatter…a little droopier. To be honest, they looked a little sad, especially compared to the rest of my body.

Courage: finding the right plastic surgeon and taking the next step…

Nothing is more traumatic for a guy than looking in the mirror and seeing breasts. It feels alien and you think, “What is happening to my body?” The common reaction is to hope that it will go away but, for many guys, the breasts have been there for some time.

Most women with uncomfortably large breasts think about having a breast reduction for a long time before “pulling the trigger.” Many women are held back by fears of surgery, anesthesia, being too small, being left with bad scars, feeling disfigured, spending money, or making a drastic change. These are very real fears. If you are considering breast reduction surgery and one or more of these fears are holding you back, you should know about a new technique that minimizes many of these fears and can lift and reshape your breasts while making them more comfortable.

After looking at the uses of Botox and injectable fillers to correct distinct changes that often come with age, we come to a third option to consider - fat grafting. I know…who wants to talk about fat? But fat grafting really is the best of both worlds: remove stubborn fat where you don’t want it and use it to “fill in” lost volume.

If you open any woman’s magazine, you are sure to see ads for JUVÉDERM^®, Restylane^® or Radiesse^®. These are all safe Injectables that are made in a laboratory (not from animals or cadavers). Fillers are used to “fill in” creases like nasolabial folds. Three common fillers are similar but made by different companies: Belotero^® Balance, JUVÉDERM^® Ultra and Restylan^®e and Perlane^®.

How often have you heard someone say, “I’m beginning to look like my mother (or father)”? When we are children, we may want to look like our parent. Then, one day you casually glance in the mirror and you see your mother.

It’s not hard to see women who have had breast augmentation that look unnatural or whose breast implants announce them before they walk into a room. While men and some women might think that women choose breast augmentation because they want to look this way, nothing could be more untrue.

Ask yourself what defines a beautiful breast? Is it size? Is it shape? Is it symmetry? If the answer to any of these questions was yes then beautiful breasts would all be very large, round and perfectly symmetrical. If this were true then women considering breast augmentation would not be most fearful of looking unnatural or being too big.
