As we age, we will lose volume and elasticity of our face, which will lead to sagging of tissue. As we live longer and extend our working years, we want to look younger too. This is driving the boom in minimally invasive treatments to rejuvenate the face because most people are nervous about undergoing the knifeRead More
Even though both men and women experience aging signs, with similar causes found in men and women, we still tend to assume that only women are having facelifts. This is not true. Men in San Antonio are also looking into getting facelifts; although fewer men get surgery when compared to women. According to the AmericanRead More
Despite masks covering our nose, we still value an attractive nose that matches and balances our face. The nose sits prominently on the face and is a major factor in one’s facial harmony and balance. And if you are unhappy with your nose, the decision to have a rhinoplasty (or nose job) is a majorRead More
Your nose is a key central feature of your face and major determinant of your attractiveness. Don’t be discouraged if you feel your nose is not as attractive as you like, as so many people have various nasal deformities—whether they be due to family genes (“I got my father’s nose.”) or from trauma.

Men comprise a large portion of my rhinoplasty practice. While some also want cosmetic changes, the majority of men looking for rhinoplasty want to breathe better. It’s not uncommon for men to complain of nasal obstruction. Many give a history of nasal trauma—typically from sport injuries or from fights. While these injuries certainly can resultRead More

There is no codified terminology for differentiating between the various facelifts. Many times, I’ve found people to be thinking ofRead More
Botox continues to be the most popular cosmetic treatment today. People assume women are the only ones who seek cosmetic treatments, but we see more men seeking cosmetic treatments. Someone coined the term “Brotox” to identify men (“brothers”) getting Botox treatments. According to a survey published in late 2016 by the American Society of Aesthetic PlasticRead More
Improving your nasal appearance may be your primary goal in wanting a rhinoplasty, but don’t forget it’s also very important to remember that maintaining (or in same cases improving) proper nasal function is equally important. It’s hard to enjoy a beautiful nose if you can’t breathe. In fact, the inability to breathe can be quiteRead More
Fillers are among the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world today, perhaps just trailing Botox and other neuromodulators in popularity.
