Last year everyone missed out on the usual social fun of the holiday season. Well, this year they’re back! Office parties, White Elephant gift giving parties, big family get togethers, and simply seeing people in person again will all be back. So, maybe you’d like to leave your crow’s feet and frown lines in quarantine. […]
We’ve been spending these pre-Turkey Day blogs talking about rhinoplasty at UMass Memorial. Whether your nose surgery was for cosmetic or functional reasons, the goal is to recover as soon as possible without complications. A successful recovery is a critical component of your overall rhinoplasty experience. Patients want to see their final results as soon […]
Our noses are uniquely human. Just think about that. If two black Labrador Retrievers are placed side by side, their bodies may be different sizes. Their heads may be shaped a little differently. But their noses are pretty much identical. So it is with most animals. But not us human animals. Each of our noses […]
During this scary time of year, there is a lot to be afraid of. Saw and Friday the 13th Marathons on AMC, wondering if you have purchased enough candy for the hordes of little ghouls and goblins traipsing about Worcester (so you don’t run out OR get left with extra bags that you’ll then eat!), […]
Not everyone can have lips like Angelina Jolie. But something in the middle would be nice. Whether due to the volume loss that comes with aging, or because of simple genetics, many of us have thin, shapeless lips. Or, if we do have round lips, they may lack symmetry from side to side. Lip augmentation […]
If you’ve had children or lost a good deal of weight, odds are your abdomen isn’t what it once was. Loose skin and a little pooch — that’s the usual situation. Why? Because when skin and connective tissue beneath are stretched, due to pregnancy or weight gain, they can only maintain the ability to return […]
Being a mother is one of the most satisfying jobs a woman could ever have. But like any job, motherhood also takes its toll on you. Your body will change in lots of ways, many of them unwanted. You may develop a saggy stomach or add unwanted fat around your waist. Your breasts may lose […]
If you were to select an easy target for teasing from kids at school, it would have to be overly protruding ears. “Satellite dish head,” “Dumbo” — you can hear it now. Kids single out targets like that, and the teasing can really affect the confidence and self-esteem of a child. That’s as true in […]
When it comes to breast augmentation with the team at UMass Memorial, you’ll have a series of decisions to make. One of those is where you’d like the incisions to be made for the placement of your implants. The choices are along the breast crease (inframammary incision), around the areola (areolar incision), or through the […]
You know you have them, we all do — unwanted pockets of fat that, no matter what you do, don’t respond to your efforts. They’re kind of like a two-year-old screaming and writhing about on the floor of the candy aisle at Shaw’s because he can’t have the giant Reese’s. You can do thousands of […]
