In addition to his interest in surgical contouring of the body and breast he also has an interest in non-surgical body shaping and is the author of the book “Doctor, How Do I Lose Weight?” His commitment to natural appearing surgical results and minimal scar surgery has led to him being an advocate of trans-umbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) which results in natural appearing breast enlargement without visible scars. While he is not an advocate of fat grafting for breast enlargement he is very active in the use of fat grafting and stem cell enhancement of fat cell grafting for facial rejuvenation. This approach is more permanent and may give better results than using Botox and facial fillers alone.

His skill with body contouring surgeries, such as liposuction and breast shaping, as well as facial enhancements such as face-lifts, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery, are why patients come from all around the world seek him out.
