Primary author/Mentor: Dr. Jesus Garcia – Mondor’s Thrombophlebitis Thirteen Years after Breast Augmentation

Evaluated and managed a patient who presented many years after breast augmentation with Mondor’s thrombophlebitis. Research performed and case report written discussing the importance of a focused work up in these cases to rule out underlying pathology.

Primary author/Mentor: Dr. Michael Wong – Aesthetic Evaluation of Body Contouring Procedures in Massive Weight Loss Patients

Currently collecting and analyzing photos of patients who have undergone procedures including: infraumbilical panniculectomy, supraumbilical panniculectomy, and lower body lifts. These standardized photos are then analyzed by a panel of medical personnel and scored in multiple areas. This is then translated into an aesthetic satisfaction score that the patient can use to estimate their satisfaction post operatively with various procedures.
