I like to say, I can count the number of procedures I do on one hand. I don’t do many different things, but what I do, I try to do at a very refined level, and I do a lot of it.

For several years now, I’ve been a consultant for Galderma, one of the leading makers of injectable products in the country, including Dysport®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®. They send me to other offices regularly to train other doctors and nurse injectors to improve their techniques with these procedures. Sometimes I’ll give presentations, where I am in a room full of people, many of whom are also very experienced. This kind of professional interaction is extremely valuable to help me to stay abreast of the latest developments in our field. If there’s any new procedure, I don’t have to be the first one to try it, I can call colleagues and get relevant opinions on the new things that people are out there trying. But as far as adopting the newest, hottest procedures, I stick with what’s proven safe, effective, and time-tested.
