Give us five local favorite places you like to go: Wellness, restaurants and activities?
Bungalow Kitchen for appetizers and cocktails, Now Power Yoga for my sanity, Kitchen Sunnyside for their hot stone bowl, Sam’s for their clam chowder and F45 to burn off all the food I just listed.
What do you love about Cosmetic Surgery?
I have the opportunity to help people maximize their quality of life and watching people achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding.
What are your top 3 favorite procedures to perform?
Facelift, facial fat transfer and breast lift.
If a patient is on the verge of surgery but not ready for a surgical procedure, any advice?
Surgery is a big step for any procedure, but I think that education is the key. I hear patients say all the time, “I was so nervous, but now I’m excited”. I think that with a little education, we can allay most fears and show patients that our approach is safe and that recovery tends to be faster than people realize.
