Welcome!
I am a plastic surgeon. I am a mother of three. I have been in solo private practice for 15 years. I did my plastic surgery training at Stanford, then a breast and cosmetic fellowship in Nashville. Not only do I study and work on bodies, I am living in one which I am trying to have age gracefully.
After seeing hundreds of patients, particularly those with changes after motherhood, I see recurrent themes. Aging is predictable. Changes following pregnancy and breastfeeding are predictable and inevitable. But why do some women look better than others? What can be done?
I created this blog because I value education. I try to write with honesty and realism. Plastic surgery constantly evolves. What I do in my practice today is not what I did 10 years ago. This blog chronicles many of those discoveries. Plastic surgeons vary in their focus. I try to keep people true to who they are, “turning back the clock” a bit without making people look like someone else.
If there is a question or topic you would like to see in a blog, please feel free to email me. So welcome to my blog. Consider this is a girlfriends guide to plastic surgery.
