I’m a plastic surgeon. I LOVE to cut things and see immediate results and it’s my passion to help people improve their life. When you walk through my door I don’t see you as a 💵 sign, but rather a soul that needs guidance.
Some of my patients are ready for surgery and do extremely well. It is a satisfying experience for both me and the patient and it’s truly the best part of my job.
Unfortunately, tv shows and social media tend to glamorize plastic surgery, making it seem more like ordering fast food. Some patients I see do not want to hear about the risks or the recovery and just want their double cheeseburger to devour in their car (so to speak). I’m not the drive-thru kind of surgeon.

Sometimes we look for a quick fix because our life is in crisis. Before you book your consultation, think about this:What is motivating you? Trouble in your relationship? Grieving the loss of something or someone? Anxiety about how you look and spending a large part of your time analyzing selfies?Feeling hopeless and desperate? Financial instability?Often we look to quick, instant results, to make us feel good. I call this the “new pair of 👠 shoes” phenomenon. This is only temporary and after surgery you will realize your problems are still there. This is why I’ve devoted my life to the pursuit of Plastic Surgery Wellness. I approach you as a whole person. We will discuss your nutrition, support network, relationships, stress level, and overall life balance. When you come to see me we will spend just as much time talking about what makes you tick as we do the surgery. I will be open and honest about whether or not I believe surgery is right for you. This is my promise to you.

Another explanation: There's a natural cross-pollination between hobbies wherein man and machine chase elusive perfection together. The "Watch link Dork" and "Car Nerd" are simply walking different paths up the same mountain. At times, those link paths converge. There must be some deep communal well within us enthusiasts, I thought, the life source from which every last obsession is drawn, whether old leaky BMWs, carbon racing bicycles, hand-wound chronographs, or link vintage lever espresso machines.
Well, link I was doubly surprised to link find out that not only didn't I buy link any modern watches in 2024, but I also didn't buy any in all of 2023! Since I bought my last modern watch in December 2022, my modern-watch fasting has gone on for 785 days today.
The four models – the Mint Ch0c Chip, Desert Sky, Watermel0n, and Go0fy Panda – all feature a display caseback for folks to check out link the ST-190. link The link specific "open" architecture of the ST-190 caliber makes the operation of the chronograph a joy to watch.
I had the chance to go hands-on with two Norqain GMT models last year. It just so happens that one of them link presented an interesting, inner-bezel take on the Pepsi ideal. With a link white dial and a red and blue 24-hour scale on the central portion of the dial, link Norqain shows that there's always room to innovate on a classic design.
A modern watch isn't for timekeeping, but the Mirage's story starts from the inside and moves outward, understanding that asymmetry makes link for link a more technically efficient caliber. Only after reconsidering function does the Mirage let link itself consider form.
