The Bigger the Implant, The Bigger the Risk

It’s a common belief that bigger implants lead to better results, but bigger isn’t always the right choice.

This summer, when you relax by the pool or tackle another round of golf, make sure that you have adequate protection against the sun’s harmful rays.

Buttock Lift – Will They Work For Me?

As women age, their buttocks, like all other areas of the body, sag. Significant weight loss can accelerate the process. Because of this, the buttocks lose their shape and youthful appearance. A buttock lift is the most reliable way of getting toned and youthful buttocks. The procedure incisions on the upper half of the buttocks and then […]

Fat Injections – Are they Useful?

Aging results in the loss and migration of fat in the face. This leads to hollowing under the eyes, flattening of the cheekbones, prominence of the nasal labial folds, down-turning of the corners of the mouth, and jowling, etc. Fat injections can restore fullness back into the areas of the face that have lost volume in […]

Implant Revision Surgery — Do You Need It?

Nothing lasts forever. That adage applies to breast implants, too.

In most cases of augmentation, the patient will need at least one additional/revision surgery in her life. Now, there are cases where implants last […]

Tired of droopy or baggy eyes?

The eyes are particularly susceptible to showing signs of aging. The muscles weaken. Skin loses some of its former tautness. Genetics and lifestyle choices can make an impact, too. The result can be eyes that make you look perpetually tired. The eyelids can appear puffy, and the surrounding skin wrinkled.

Say Goodbye to Wrinkles

Ever since the FDA approved Botox for the cosmetic treatment of wrinkles back in 2002, it has become a household name. Botox is even more famous than many of the famous faces in Hollywood who use it to keep some of the signs of aging at bay. So, why is it so famous? Because Botox works, pure […]

The History of Liposuction

It’s long been tempting to contemplate magically ridding the body of pockets of fat that accumulate in certain areas such as the lower abdomen and thighs. In fact, French surgeon Charles Dujarier tried to do exactly that way back in the 1920s. Unfortunately, the procedure caused gangrene in the model’s leg, so the end result […]

Leave Mythology to the Sisyphus, not Plastic Surgery

The stories and lessons taught by Greek mythology are entertaining and timeless. Who doesn’t love the tales such as Sisyphus, who was condemned to push the boulder up the mountain all day, only for it to roll down to the bottom at night, forcing him to do it all over the next day? Such was […]

When Enough is Too Much

These days it may seem odd when a woman wants to have her breast size reduced. After all, in the U.S. breast augmentation was the most popular cosmetic surgery in 2014. But the reality is that for women with overly large breasts, life is negatively impacted on a daily basis by their breasts. In these […]

Leave the Bat Wings to Batman

Significant weight gain or weight loss, or simply the relentless march of time, can create loose skin on the upper arms.

Microneedling Your Way to Younger-Looking Skin

The body’s reaction to perceived injury is the basis of many skin rejuvenation procedures. Everything from fractional lasers to radiofrequency waves, when the energy is delivered into the dermis the body perceives it as an injury and responds by creating new cells, including collagen. Since collagen is the basic protein responsible for the support structure of […]

Exfoliation and Peach Fuzz Removal — Dermaplaning

Everyone knows that exfoliation is the key to younger-looking skin. To show the healthy skin beneath, you need to get rid of the dead skin cells on top. Women have always been somewhat envious of the results that daily shaving gives men. After all, shaving, along with clipping whiskers, also removes dead skin cells at […]

Targeting Your Tummy — Liposuction or Tuck?

The stomach/abdomen area is a bane for most people.

Men Can Get Breast Reductions Too

It’s true that, largely, we have no idea what causes gynecomastia.

When evaluating a patient with male breast tissue it’s important to understand the difference between normal physiologic […]

Not Happy with Your Implants? Let Dr. Gurley Fix the Problem

Breast augmentation procedures don’t always turn out as planned. Sometimes patients have issues with scar tissue.

Breast Asymmetry

Women think their breasts should be identical in size, shape, and position on the chest, but this is rare. Most women have at least some asymmetry between their breasts.

Do Uneven Breasts Make You Self-Conscious?

Tighten Up Your Upper Arms for Summer

The underside of your upper arms is particularly susceptible to the pull of gravity. Plus, your muscles and supporting tissues slacken somewhat with age.

Revision implant surgery is completely different from an initial implant placement surgery.
