Procedures I'm known for
Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping
I specialize in aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty, including revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty. Nose surgery is an extremely delicate, complex procedure, and it takes great skill and experience to consistently create an excellent result. By reshaping and refining your nose, I can make it more proportional to your face and bring balance and harmony to all of your facial features. Because I am board-certified in both plastic surgery and otolaryngology, I am an expert in improving both the function of the nose and its cosmetic appearance, ensuring that your rhinoplasty results look natural while preserving or improving your ability to breathe easily. During your consultation at my Boston, Massachusetts office, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and I will carefully examine your facial anatomy before recommending the best treatment plan to create your ideal nose.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstructive surgery is one of my primary areas of expertise, as well as a personal passion. Thanks to my time as a fellow at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and my membership on the boards of Susan G. Komen and Bright Pink, I have a unique understanding of what my breast reconstruction patients are going through, and how I can help restore some of what they’ve lost. I offer three breast reconstruction techniques: DIEP flap, which uses tissue from the patient’s lower abdomen to restore the breast; latissimus dorsi flap, which uses a muscle from the back; and breast implant-based reconstruction. I evaluate each patient to determine her specific situation and which approach will provide the most natural-looking results, based on the original breast size, amount of body fat, and tissue available to rebuild the breast. I invite you to schedule a consultation at my Boston, Massachusetts practice to explore your breast reconstruction options.
