There were so many television cameras around our office the past two days that I would not have been surprised had Steve Carell, Jenna Fischer, and their Dunder Miffin Corporation pals shown up.

Posted June 04, 2008 in Blog, Rhinoplasty, Uncategorized
In the early years of rhinoplasty, having a nose that looked operated on was somewhat of a status symbol, so much so that a few surgeons had characteristic noses that they created consistently on their patients.

Fraxel Re: pair laser, manufactured by Reliant, is at the cutting edge of the future of facial plastic surgery.
