What’s the Difference Between Injectables & Fillers?

Spring without the Age Spots
This hasn’t been the wettest of winters in San Diego, but there have still been plenty of cold (at least by our thin-blooded standards!) days. That’s why April is a nice month to put those days behind us and get ready to get back to Mission Bay for people watching and San Onofre for our […]

Implants Placed through the Armpit
It can seem hard to imagine placing breast implants without needing an incision either on the breasts or at the breast crease beneath the breast, but there are actually two other incision options, the transaxillary method and the transumbilical method (TUBA). In this blog, we’ll discuss the transaxillary method. What is transaxillary breast augmentation? If […]
