Your cheeks and under-eyes may appear hollow or gaunt while your jawline loses its definition. Dr. Erwin Bulan is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Milburn offering facial fat transfer to restore lost facial volume and restore a youthful facial shape.  Continue reading →

Dr. Erwin Bulan offers arm lift (brachioplasty) to eliminate sagging skin and fat between the armpit and elbow.  Continue reading →

Dr. Erwin Bulan can determine if you’re ready for a facelift during a personal consultation at our Millburn, New Jersey, office. He’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your concerns to see if facelift or another procedure suits your needs, regardless of age.  Continue reading →
