Is There an Alternative to Surgery, to Help Get Rid of the Bags Under My Eyes?

Dermal Fillers such as Juvederm are an excellent non-surgical treatment for “tear trough” deformities, which give you the dark circles or bags underneath the eyes look.

Therefore it is excellent when used to smooth wrinkles and folds under the eyes, and around Continue reading →

What Are the Treatment Options for Lobular Carcinoma In Situ (LCIS)?

Lobular Carcinoma in Situ (LCIS) is somewhat of a misnomer in that it is not a cancer, but a “pre-malignant” condition in which there are abnormal cells present in the glands (lobules) of the breast.

In patients with a strong family history of breast cancer, or those at very high risk, Continue reading →

If you find Continue reading →

Botox or Juvederm? Which is the Right Treatment For You?

I have a lot of patients ask me what the difference between Botox and Juvederm are during consultations for facial rejuvenation procedures.

Therefore, it is important to understand the difference between Botox and Dermal Fillers (Juvederm) when it comes to choosing the right treatment for you. The best way to do this is to look at yourself in the mirror, and concentrate Continue reading →

How to Know if You are at Risk for Breast Cancer

Anything that affects your chances of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Certain risk factors are linked to certain conditions, such as cancer. Different cancers have different risk factors. For example, of the approximately 200,000 women in the United States that are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, not all will have the same risk of developing breast cancer during their lifetimes. Some women will have certain risk factors which will increase the likelihood that they will develop breast cancer over others. However, Continue reading →
