The commoditization of cosmetic surgery
Whenever talking to a potential client about using the BuildMyBod Health platform on their website, I run them through an online demo via GoToMeeting.

Lo or Pitbull video. “Butt” it can be appropriate for more patients than you’d expect. Who’s a candidate for a BBL? Due to popular culture, it’s not surprising most people think a BBL […]

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.
