I have to say that 2015 went by faster than any year I can remember. It feels like it should be March. That is not to say that a tremendous amount of work and events did not occur. Perhaps the perception of time was altered by just how busy it was. Less free time, less time to reflect.

As my longtime followers will note, I always take time at the end of each year to review my results, critique them, and think of how Yager Esthetics can serve the Hispanic community better. This year is no exception.

Overall, results have been excellent. Scars have continued to improve, and the new treatments are working well. Breast surgeries remain terrific. I have found that I am stricter on criteria for who can get a breast lift with a circumareolar technique, and am doing most via a “lollipop” method or traditional Wise pattern. Controlling areolar size and improved lift outweigh the short vertical scar in almost all cases.

Liposuction and fat transfer to buttocks continue to boom. I am finishing my nineteenth year here soon, and the experience shows in the results. Nothing to change here yet, except finding better garments. Adding Radiofrequency tightening as an option after has helped as well.

I still remain champion of the Abdominoplasty. I am working on protocols of physical therapy for pre and post to help achieve maximal flatness. Details to follow.

My facial surgeries continue to evolve. Simplifying methods and enhancing safety have led to extremely natural and pleasing results.

For 2016, I am hard at work preparing enhancements for my patient experience. Next week, I will reveal my resolutions. Happy New Year to all of my patients, and thank you so much for your trust and support.
