Tired Eyes? Wake Them Up!

Are you one of the many women, like myself, who is tired of looking tired?  Is there anything worse than being TOLD you look tired, even after you have gotten a solid 10 hours of sleep or come back from a relaxing week of vacation?  Okay, lets face it these days many of us ARE tired.  And how often do any of us get 10 hours of sleep or have a “relaxing” week off?  But wouldn’t it be nice to look as if that were the case.

Michelle Obama doesn’t rule out plastic surgery

A healthy Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama, our first lady, recently went on the record as saying that she is not ruling out plastic surgery or Botox in the future.  She said, “Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves…I’ve also learned to never say never.” What a breath of fresh air it was for me to read this. That sentiment is really what Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Enhancement is all about- freedom! Freedom to be happy with your appearance… Freedom to be comfortable making the choices you make in order to look your best… Freedom from stigma or the opinions of others about what we “should” or “should not” be doing (provided it is safe and makes us happy).  Read more

Plastic Surgery for Barbie

Plastic surgery app for Barbie
P.T. Barnum is reported to have said that there is no such thing as bad publicity- but as regards some of the things I read about plastic surgery and the people offering it, I would have to disagree.

Not ready to go under the knife? Well you’re in luck. Having plastic surgery isn’t the only option when it comes to achieving a more youthful appearance. In fact, at Aesthetic Enhancements by Dr. Armando Soto, it’s a common occurrence for a patient to come in for a surgery consultation with Dr. Soto, only to be recommended for a non-invasive procedure with yours truly, or even a skin care treatment with our medical Aesthetician.

Introduction to the Fountain of Beauty

I want to look the very best I can, while not getting taken for a ride and staying safe along the way…. I think this is a pretty fair assessment of most healthy women’s goals for looking their best with the passage of time- but the world as it is presents several questions that can make choosing a path to these goals more than a bit frustrating: Read more

Does plastic surgery get you a better man?

Should women consider plastic surgery to find a better man
I’ve lived in LA-LA land for a long time, so I’ve seen my fair share of plastic surgery—the very, very good, the very, very bad and everything in between. And because surgery is so common here—I swear there are more plastic surgeon’s offices than Starbucks in LA—I’ve been asked by a lot of my female clients if plastic surgery will get them a better man. Instead of giving them a yes or no answer, I often have a lot of questions for them. What can I say? I’m like the Cheshire Cat of plastic surgery advice. In case you’re wondering the same thing, here are those questions for you to ask yourself. Read more
