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 […]
Are Your Breasts Asymmetrical?
Although our bodies are miracles of science, they’re far from perfect. In line with this, having breasts that aren’t even is more the norm than the exception. It’s estimated that at least one half of all women have uneven breasts. But it can make a woman feel self-conscious when in a swimsuit. That’s no good […]

Changing Your Nose
For better or worse, our noses dominate our faces. If it’s out of balance with the other features of our faces, it can really become a focal point when a person looks at you.

The Difference Between Plastic Surgeons and Cosmetic Surgeons

The aesthetic world isn’t immune to such misinformation. In this industry, you may see advertisements […]
See the Future. Be the Future.
Sometimes having a cosmetic surgery procedure can be scary because you’re never really sure what you will look like afterwards. Visualizing 300cc implants compared to 400cc implants isn’t easy for most people, even with bras and other models that are designed to help. But at Dr. Kearney’s, you can see the future. OK, Dr. Kearney’s […]
You May Only Need a Mini Facelift
Living in sunny San Diego, we all have had plenty of sun exposure on our faces. This, coupled with the natural decline of collagen production and slackening of the skin, leads to the formation of lines and wrinkles, along with that looser skin that we all hate. But for many patients, they don’t have the […]
Father’s Day Gift to Yourself — More Hair
The days of Father’s Day meaning dad would receive just another bad tie have been long gone, particularly in more casual California. During our endless year of COVID, that’s been even more the case, as people have been having Zoom meetings in their PJs. So, this Father’s Day, maybe you should give the man in […]
