I was very fortunate to train with a brilliant physician and surgeon with the name of James Fulton, III, MD.

He was eccentric and aggressive but kind and caring. Among his accomplishments was the co-development of Retin A in the 1960 with Dr. Kligman. He also developed Benzamycin topical antibiotic solution for the treatment of acne. In the 1980s he had many acne clinics all over Los Angele and treated hundreds of young adults.

Since 1999 I have improved on Dr. Fulton’s approach to acne and acne scarring. New laser and radiofrequency devices have make acne scarring treatments safer and more affordable.

I performe cutting face and neck lifts but most of my patients prefer a minimally invasive approach and no scarring. Laser liposuction with Smartlipo Triplex has been a good alternative to surgery for some of my patients.

More recently a new device called ThermiRF is gaining acceptance in the US. This FDA approved modality melts fat and tightens the skin from inside with 3 small scars that are smaller than the back of a pencil erasure. the scars are behind the ears and under the chin and barely visible.

Thermi uses a small probe and "injects" Radiofrequency energy under the skin resulting in a tightening and elevation of the neck and jowls. The same technology can be used in the breasts, buttocks and abdominal skin..

Call us and schedule a consultation to see if you are a candidate for this virtually scar-less neck lift.

I performed many breast lifts during my Cosmetic Surgery fellowship in 1999. I never liked the scars. Some patients did great and had barely visible scars. Most of my patients had visible scars that made them self-conscious about their appearance. Occasionally the scars would become hypertrophic or even keloidal. I stopped doing breast lifts shortly after.

Recently I became very impressed with a new procedure called Thermi RF.

Thermi uses a small probe and injects Radiofrequency energy under the skin resulting in a tightening and elevation of the breast. The same technology can be used in the buttocks and abdominal skin.

Please watch this video by another surgeon back east. I hope to produce our own video this year.

Call us and schedule a consultation to see if you are a candidate for this virtually scar-less breast lift.
