Early result selfie warning ⚠️

I used to hesitate to post my patients’ selfies in the early days after surgery. I worried it set an expectation that all patients heal just as quickly or look just as good early after surgery. I also worried that truly judging a result without professional photography in a controlled setting was not “scientific” enough.

But what I’ve come to realize overtime is that the way to gauge an outcome is not by seeing folds eliminated, jowls improved or necks contoured, it’s about seeing a complete transformation in their confidence and disposition. Having them send me their own selfies in their own environment allows us to truly see how the # 1 outcome in assessing surgical success is patient happiness.

Carolyn is 10 days out from for facial rejuvenation: brows, temples, face, neck, eyes, laser, lips. And while there is still tremendous healing to go, we can already see that she’s going to look incredible at the end of all of this. I’m just so happy for her 💛💛. Keep the selfies coming folks.

Ending off a great week on an even greater note!

This lovely person is just 3 weeks post op revision facelift, necklift all the things (brow, upper eyes, fat to face and hands, lips, laser to face, neck, chest and hands).

I did her original consult years ago and she decided to move forward after her first lift, SMAS lift, left her happy but didn’t last very long.

You couldn’t meet a sweeter, more deserving person. The kicker? She’s in her 60s. SIXTIES people.

She was originally hesitant to share, but I think she just wanted to wait to see how she healed. If you want updates on Helen, please let us know so we can continue sharing 🥰

“My worth isn’t defined by my appearance but by the love and kindness I show myself and others.You’ve helped me reveal who I AM. A gift of love I’ve given myself.”

💛💛💛

Sandra is 57 and one month after quite honestly every surgery I know how to perform: brow, temple, face and necklift. We call this “canvas” surgery- getting the frame just right. Then we added the color: lip lift with corners, upper blepharoplasty. A little splash of contour, highlites and shadows: lower blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty and full face fat grafting and topped off with brightness: laser resurfacing. When it all adds up… it’s really something special.

If you follow me you know that at one month, this masterpiece is still a work in progress. She has small telangiectasias (red blood vessels) in her thin skin that we’re going to treat with BBL, scars are still immature, her nose swollen and her face feels like a mask. The final showing will be around the 6 month mark and, like all things of high value, it will continue to appreciate for years.

I am just blown away.

Which is your favorite? Let her know in the comments below! 🫶🏻

I can’t believe this is considered controversial in 2025, but can we stop focusing on facelift technique so damn much?

Every time we see a beautiful result displayed publicly on high profile people, everyone asks what technique was used instead of how the surgeon used it.

I have been in the crosshairs during conferences where surgeons with white hair scream at each other over whether traditional facelift or deep plane is best.

My answer to all of this is always the same: show me your photos.

Surgeons are not robots. Patients are not cakes and techniques are not recipes. The best surgeons in the world may use their own ingredients well, but even they don’t generate the exact same results. It’s hard to tell with an untrained eye, but surgeons have a signature “look” to their results. This is because they demonstrate artistry and good judgment and they do it consistently in their patients.

Do I believe that deep plane is best? Yes, but I also believe that fully capable surgeons use other techniques and generate great results too.

I talk often about preservation as a modification to the deep plane, purely because I think it’s interesting and I love teaching it.

Truth is, something happened along the course of my career. I stopped focusing on technique and let my results speak for themselves.

I think others should do the same.

My answer to her was “I have been doing this every day for almost a decade and haven’t found more beautiful words to explain why I do it”.

It’s a selfie. She’s still a little bruised and a lot swollen. The angles don’t match. It’s early after surgery. I have no business posting this result so early.

But the words behind the pictures always matter the most. And these ones deserve sharing. 💛💛

Call this one “The beginning of the end”

Leslie is 54 years old and 3 months recovered from brow, temple, face and necklift with upper blepharoplasty, fat grafting, laser and corner lip lift. She had a very circuitous path toward this point. A significant allergic reaction to skin care and some skin compromise necessitating hyperbaric oxygen were “setbacks” as she called them, but she maintained a positive trusting attitude from the beginning. And it has served her well.

What stood out to me from our initial conversation is how well she treats her body. She walks 6-7 km a day and did her research, watching all of my videos and preparing herself for surgery. This woman felt much younger on the inside than the way her face was aging. Always beautiful, just a couple tweaks to make mind and body match.

I love every aspect of her result. Even down to the minor corner lip lift we performed that gives her mouth more red-show towards the corners. Fat grafting to the forehead is powerful here, see the difference in contour? Even her nasal base is more symmetric - that’s from fat to the nasolabial fold. Her eyes are bigger, more blue and she says her lashes are even growing back more than ever before.

Some other aspects need more time. Incisions are healing, but still a little red. Skin is a bit irritated still, although hyperbaric was a hero here. It’s also a bit swollen.

So what’s the beginning of the end? Well, she’s past the surgical recovery phase that lasts 3-5 weeks. She’s now at the beginning of her cosmetic recovery. Over time, incisions heal, skin becomes more supple, sensation returns (although she just has small areas of numbness near her earlobes).

I often say I love this result. The truth is, I love this process. She has handled recovery so well. You see it in the results. I hear it in her words. We can feel it from the confidence coming through.

SCROLL TO SEE THE DETAILS ⏭️

I think of surgery like coding. Every decision is a 1 or 0. Every surgeon has an internal monologue throughout the entirety of the case and we answer with these simple inputs.

What may surprise you is that we don’t think often about technical aspects. This is left brain logic. You do this enough, it flows automatically.

The questions we constantly ask ourselves for every part of the procedure is not the “what”, rather, “how much”.

This is where the right brain comes in and where aesthetic surgeons leave their artistic mark. How much more to dissect, how much fat to place, how much vertical excursion, how much tension on the flap, how much skin to remove, how many stitches to place.

It’s a balance between not enough and too much. 0 and 1.

Here you can see how much thought went into some aspects of the case. My patient is pictured 5 days out (5 DAYS!) from total facial rejuvenation: brow, temple face and necklift ( ), upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, modified upper lip lift, type 1 corner lip lift, fat grafting, laser and closed .

All the 1s and 0s add up here, and when she heals, it’s going to be magical.

Kind of like life isn’t it? It’s the culmination of the decisions we make.

May we all find the balance between our own 1s and 0s. Because when we do, beautiful things happen.

Does the nose grow as we age?

My 35 year old patient actually always loved her nose, but felt it was growing as she did. She’s a mom of two and told me in consultation that she noticed a hump develop and the nose become longer and droopy over time.

This is a very common concern for my patients in their 30s and beyond. While the nose doesn’t actually grow, it does change shape in the following ways:

🦴 1. Skeletal Support Loss: the nose loses a strong platform and loses its projection
💪 2. Ligament and Cartilage Changes: stretching of the ligament leads to expansion of the cartilages creating a widened appearance
🧵 3. Skin and Soft Tissue Changes: skin thins and the natural bony curvature of the bridge appears more prominent

All these add up to a nose that can droop, widen and show a hump on side view.

For her, the goal was to recreate the same nose she once had and then add a little style.

Here she is 4 months after closed preservation rhinoplasty. I just love this result for so many reasons, but mostly because she is just such a nice person who trusted me throughout the entire process. Still some healing to go, but man, what a start.

Same pose. Similar lighting. Same angle.

Same person … 30 years in reverse?

Full facial rejuvenation 8 months post op. Erbium laser resurfacing is the standout here, or is it everything?

Even I can’t believe it.

Ptosis (pronounced toe-sis) is the medical term for a drooping upper eyelid. It can affect one or both eyes and may range from mild (barely noticeable) to severe (covering the pupil and affecting vision).

💡 The key types are either congenital (present at birth) or acquired which can be from muscle weakness, neurological issues, systemic diseases or trauma.

My patient is a very busy medical professional who felt that the extra skin of her upper lids made makeup feel not “quite right”.

When I saw her in clinic during consultation, we determined that she had an element of ptosis of the left lid that responded to maneuvers giving us the diagnosis of aponeurotic or muscle weakness ptosis.

It is more common than you think! Over 5% of women have ptosis with the most common being acquired muscle weakness on one side.

The treatment involved upper blepharoplasty with a posterior approach to her muscle to tighten it. Here is she pictured 5 months out from surgery. The second photo shows her the day of surgery with markings made.

I’m so glad she has healed beautifully from this surgery that shows millimetres mater when it comes to facial plastic surgery. I am so grateful she’s allowed me to share these beautiful results!

Have you heard of ptosis before this post?

My birthday is coming up in a few days- just in case you were wondering what to get me…

04/02/2025

I’m SPEECHLESS.

Just 3 weeks out from comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Brows, temples, face, neck, lips, with little bit of fat and laser.

I just don’t know what to say. I guess I’ll stick around for a few more years?
