Lift and Tone: The Beautiful, Reliable, Efficient ThermiRF

Posted on September 5, 2017 by Dr. Paul Ruff

Aging happens in different ways. The fact that we cannot deny though, is that aging happens. We see ourselves differently than when we were younger. Things aren’t quite in the same place. Skin is a little bit looser. And we don’t match that vision that we have of ourselves when we felt like we were at our best.

Not All Mommy Makeovers Are the Same

Posted on May 31, 2017 by Dr. Paul Ruff

Some women’s bodies bounce back after having a baby, no worse for wear. More often, though, the physical toll that occurs after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can transform the body so much that a woman may never again think of shopping for a bikini. A Mommy Makeover — which typically includes a tummy tuck and breast augmentation at our Washington, D.C. practice — can restore not only your body, but your confidence, too. One of the benefits of mommy makeover surgery is that our surgeons customize a combination of procedures to address the specific concerns of each patient. That may … Continue reading

The common ones are the 11’s between the brows, forehead lines and … Continue reading
