I see a lot of patients that are struggling with their weight. They have a sense of frustration because they can't seem to figure out what to do. They end up at my office because they feel liposuction is a solution, or they think perhaps abdominoplasty or another type of operation would help. In my opinion, these kinds of procedures are not for people who need to lose weight — and that can come as a surprise. More

Agents such as Botox Cosmetic and Dysport relax muscles and can reduce furrows in the brow and wrinkle lines that come from expression. Expression lines are the "memory of the skin". Over the years, muscles in our face have folded our skin thousands and thousands of times. The skin begins to remember these folds, eventually resulting in a structural change. Botox Cosmetic and Dysport injections reduce this effect when correctly applied to specific areas of the brow and around the eye. More

Volume loss is a natural part of aging. As the face ages you lose bone, fat, and integrity of the skin. All the various surgical treatments are complimentary with the placement of volume. People that look strange often have had a lot of surgery but no volume. They've had too much pulling, and really what they need is the softness of volume. Volume is youthful. Even a skinny young person has volume in their face. This is why a heavier person often has a pleasant face, and they will look younger longer. If you are having a surgical procedure on the face, it might make sense to have fat injections if you have volume loss. More

No matter what type of plastic surgery you are considering, you want the procedure to be a success. The most important factor is choosing the right plastic surgeon for that procedure. It essentially comes down to the surgeon's training, experience, candor, and judgment. More

I am Board Certified in Plastic Surgery, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Why did I become a member of these organizations? It might just be as simple as this: the surgeons I most admired and respected were all members; therefore, I became one as well. More

Dr. Green, you are well-known in the community as being an exceptionally talented and ethical physician. It was cited how during a recent emergency involving a woman's head injury from a rollover accident, an unprecedented amount of doctors from a variety of departments came to witness you at work. Can you comment on this general perception and that particular case? More

Dr. Green, our impressions of plastic surgery are based mostly on what we've seen on television and in the movies. We've seen enemy agents undergo facial reconstruction to look like another person. We've seen patients select the nose they want out of a book. The impression is that plastic surgery can do almost anything for anyone. But you seemed to imply that this is highly misguided. Can you explain your beliefs?

I have had two lasers in the past, and I don't have any now. Their removal was a decision based on outcomes. Lasers, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels came in to the marketplace in recent years with a huge marketing push, aggressively launching them to their current popularity. After using them for a few years, I became convinced that there are better procedures with fewer side effects. Collagen induction therapy is what I'm doing right now, and I've been following that research for some time. More

Breast augmentation is incredibly popular. Last year over 300,000 women had their breasts enlarged. That number has more than tripled since 1997. Breast implants get a lot of attention in the media as well, and most people are justifiably confused by the conflicting information they hear. More

Let me be honest with you. When it comes to marketing, I'm pretty cautious. When I first came into practice, it was really on the cusp that professionals like lawyers or doctors would even consider advertising. It wasn't considered professional, ethical, or truthful, terms often too loosely regarded in the world of marketing. More
