The customer is not always right. An example of confirmation bias.
I had an interesting experience recently from two Yelp reviewers. One person gave me a one-star review because she got a bruise after Botox/Xeomin injection to reduce wrinkles in the forehead. Another left a one-star review because she was unhappy with her breast lift to correct very saggy (ptotic) breasts after massive weight loss. Obviously […]
Is cosmetic surgery taboo? Not anymore!
There are many myths surrounding cosmetic surgery. Everyone used to think it was only for rich people.

Doctors! Tired of answering questions about pricing yet?! [video]
If you’re a doctor that offers medically necessary services paid out of pocket before a deductible is met or because they’re considered cosmetic, I bet someone has asked you how much a procedure costs. Doctors field questions about pricing everyday. Whether it’s by phone, website or social media. Especially social media like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook […]
Social media wake up call for plastic surgery societies
There’s a paradigm shift in how patients are finding their doctors. And nowhere is this more evident than in the cosmetic surgery space. In the past, consumers found their doctor through word of mouth. Then it was the yellow pages. That gave way to the internet, specifically a doctor’s website, and in the last decade, […]
