Talking about completely non-invasive facial rejuvenation options this time with SofWave here at annual conference in Boston!

The question is, how do I decide on what type of device technology to endorse and use? What advice would I give other docs looking for the “next big thing” {hint: it’s not to do your only deep dive research on social media}.

Stay tuned to hear more from on their channel, and many more topics like National day!

Stage set. Mic on. Junera subermal laser, a category unto its own in the US, introduced. 🎤✨

Honored to present at the Aesthetics Innovation Summit yesterday prior to launching at annual meeting in Boston.

AIS is where the future of our industry is decided, and bringing Junera to this selective stage was a milestone moment. AIS is known for being a selective forum for the “next big thing,” where disruptive innovation and key thought leaders bring what will be coming in regeneration and aesthetics to the forefront.

This is a yearly gathering where clinical practitioners, corporate leaders, and capital investors converge to examine the future of aesthetic innovation. The meeting bridges the worlds of science, commercialization, and investment by showcasing novel treatments, devices, and technologies in a highly selective forum. Over the years it has grown to become a platform where innovators position themselves, investors connect with the next wave of breakthroughs, and leading strategics shape market direction. With demand for presentation times high and participation limited, AIS continues to set the standard for thought leadership and deal-flow in aesthetics innovation. Many thanks to icon for being such a brilliant surgeon entrepreneur & mentor for me over the years. Wheels up time! 👏👍🏽😅🛫 here with .onyxa 🙌

😂 Happy Mother’s Day to ME, the exhausted star of this nonstop documentary!

My darling sons finally “let me lay down” today… which apparently means they let me film this 56-second fever dream, running a mom 🏧.

So my staff found this one and made it my ringtone 😂so we’d be able to recognize certain “asks” while I’m still in the operating room. 😷 This is literally the soundtrack of my life and I’ve heard it all 🥴!

But I wouldn’t trade my two professionals 👦👦 for anything in the world!! Love them soo much 🥰❤️!

To every mom out there currently hiding in the bathroom refreshing her banking app… today is YOUR day!

Now somebody send ME ten bucks for a margarita.
(And yes, the hat stays on. It’s earned.)
❤️

This elegant 62-year-old Houston executive, who consults within the aesthetic healthcare private equity world, previously underwent a beautifully performed face and neck lift with fat grafting years ago by an excellent plastic surgeon in Dallas. Her original result aged naturally & gracefully for many years. But as time predictably marched on, she began noticing something very common long-term after neck surgery:

• recurrent skin laxity & some banding
• areas where the skin had healed down unevenly to deeper tissues. This is biology, tissue memory, gravity, and continued aging over time!

Importantly, she did not want — or necessarily need — another full facelift. Instead, I approached this with a more nuanced strategy using dual-wavelength laser technology to carefully release scar tethering, remodel tissue planes & re-create smooth contour beneath the skin with tighter appearance. I applied the subdermal laser around her eyes, midface, lower face/ jawline & neck!

This case also gave me the opportunity to creatively apply the use of hemostatic netting! After the fiberoptic laser undermined & freed the skin from the neck, I wanted to prevent the skin from simply sticking back down unevenly again since the body naturally tries to heal along old pathways

Hemostatic netting is used in plastic surgery (thx to ) to help control bleeding, support delicate tissue planes, reduce dead space & encourage smooth healing after surgical undermining. Like a temporary support system that helps tissues heal in the precise position we want them to!😍

Here, the netting acted like laying down a high-thread-count bedsheet smoothly over a luxury mattress — carefully smoothing every fold & contour so the skin could heal back evenly rather than rippling or re-adhering irregularly. By doing this, her result approaches surgical neck-lift refinement without performing another full face & neck lift!

She is seen here before & on the 3rd day post-procedure when we removed the netting. Swipe to see the before day 1 after. It will only get better as the skin contracts & swelling subsides, as she has strong Greek facial contours 🇬🇷 & classical aesthetics!

At 29 years old, this kind patient had been living with severe gigantomastia — a condition causing extreme breast enlargement that affected every part of her daily life. She suffered from neck, back, & shoulder pain, difficulty moving comfortably, and significant limitations in her quality of life.

I performed this case earlier this week & knew it when I saw her: this became the largest breast reduction case of my career. Given the overwhelming breast size and the extreme pedicle length that would be required, I performed a Free Ni**le Graft breast reduction, which is often the safest and most reliable technique in cases of massive reduction surgery.

In total, I removed:
• Over 8 pounds of breast tissue from each breast
• Approximately 2.5 liters of fat from each lateral breast/armpit area

This resulted in nearly 21 pounds removed overall — an immediate and life-changing reduction in physical burden.

The most rewarding part? She felt lighter and more mobile the moment she woke up in recovery. Seeing patients regain comfort, confidence & freedom of movement is exactly why I do this work. Her mother cried when she left her to go into the OR with me. She asked that I take photos in order to educate others on the condition and how to safely treat it. Many hours later when I came into the family waiting room at my office to show her the before and after photos after a long day in surgery she got tears again & said “her life will be forever changed!”

This is why I do it- to help others in their physical and emotional transformation. What may be another workday for me may well be the most important day of my patient’s life. I get that!

Gigantomastia cases are physically & emotionally challenging, this transformation represents far more than aesthetics — it represents relief, function & a new beginning.

✨ Sneak Peek: Introducing EraV by Junera ✨
The future of intimate rejuvenation is here — and it’s dual-wavelength precision at its finest. ⚡️

I’m happy to share an exclusive first look at the Junera 980/1470 nm diode laser (EraV), featured in our upcoming book chapter in The Art of Aesthetic Surgery 4E, edited by Nahai & Nahai . I wrote this book chapter with my right hand in surgery , whose background with predicate device technology & protocols from the Venezuelan 🇻🇪 gynecology experience has been meshed with my American 🇺🇸 intimate health background! This next-generation platform represents a true advancement in how we approach intra- & extravaginal treatments. 💡

By combining two optimized wavelengths in one handpiece, Junera delivers controlled, circumferential thermal energy for:
• Vaginal tissue tightening & collagen remodeling
• Improved epithelial health & connective tissue support
• Enhanced sensation & sexual wellness
• Treatment of vaginal laxity with less cutaneous pain and zero downtime than predicate devices

Modern protocol refinements — including fine-tuned energy modulation and standardized techniques — allow for more consistent, customizable results tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals.

The Junera dual-wavelength laser represents an evolution of this predicate technology within the contemporary U.S. regulatory and clinical environment.

By incorporating both 980 nm and 1470 nm wavelengths into a single platform, Junera is designed to deliver controlled, circumferential vaginal energy treatment with an emphasis on tissue tightening, epithelial health & connective tissue support.

I’ve been personally using this platform in my practice, and the patient feedback has been outstanding. We love to pair it with the O-shot, or vaginal PRP (platelet-rich plasma). This summer, is officially launching EraV — and I cannot wait for you to experience what it can do!

Stay tuned for more clinical pearls from our book chapter and full launch details coming soon!

Who’s ready for the next era in intimate wellness? 💕

Proud mom moment! ❤️ Last night at the Chapland Jazz Band concert, my son had the amazing honor of playing bass trombone right alongside legendary NYC jazz bass trombonist Ron Wilkins — the guest artist for the evening.

Watching Rex and other band members hold their own on the same stage with a true master was great. Rex is talented enough to play the same two instruments Ron does: bass trombone AND euphonium. (Swipe left for Rex’s solo then the big man plays!) 🎼 🎺

Ron Wilkins is a highly accomplished New York City-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, arranger, and educator specializing in low brass (particularly tenor and bass trombone, euphonium, tuba, and bass trumpet). He is a core member of the Birdland Big Band (performing weekly at the legendary club) and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. His work with high school groups, like the recent Chaparral Jazz Band concert, reflects his commitment to inspiring the next generation.

Huge thanks to for inspiring these kids and sharing his gift with our community. And to the entire band — you all killed it!

One of the most unique privileges of being an aesthetic plastic surgeon is the ability to care for a human being across the entire topography of the face, breasts, and body—often over the course of many years. Very few surgical specialties allow for that kind of continuity, trust, and creative scope. I guess a Wall Streeter would call it a diversified portfolio—but I call it a gift. One I’ve worked for, but never take for granted.

This work is built on many years of training, refinement, and an ongoing commitment to mastering both form and function. But more than anything, it’s built on relationships with patients who entrust me with their goals, their confidence, & their transformation.

This patient is someone I’ve had the privilege of operating on multiple times and areas spanning over more than a decade. Last week, I operated on her pretty face for the 1st time (hey, we’ve aged together!)

I performed a comprehensive surgical facial rejuvenation including a deep plane facelift for mid- and lower facial lifting, a deep structural neck lift, fat grafting to the lips, nasolabial folds, and periorbital region, along with upper and lower eyelid lift. Finally for icing on the cake 🧁, a closed rhinoplasty😅. Let’s just say we hung out together all day, but she got some rest! 🫧 💉

Swipe through for before and after: after just ONE week post-op, we’re already seeing early results: a much more defined jawline, a lifted midface with restored volume, less lower facial sag & heaviness after being on GLP-1s, and a refreshed appearance. Plus a cute, slimmer nose with NO external scar after closed rhinoplasty!

Still early—but what a beautiful lady. We saw her yesterday & shared in the unveiling (and suture removal 🪢)! We’ll show her progression in healing as well!

I’m continually grateful for the opportunity to work with my hands in a field that blends my right-handed precision, a deep understanding of anatomy, & my left-handed creativity. 📐 This isn’t surgery confined to one area of the body—it’s a craft that evolves with each patient, each stage of life, and each carefully considered decision. And I’m there for it. 🤲🏻

How about them cowgirls ❤️

Took my son to see the king of country, George Strait last night 😍🤩

It was a big night… not just because of the concert, but because it occurred to me it was the first time he ever heard me scream “I LOVE YOU” to another man 😂

Honestly, I think I shocked him at first with his very controlled mother losing her sensibilities… but then I caught him laughing when he looked over and the lady next to me was screaming I LOVE YOU GEORGE even louder—with her husband standing right there like he fully understood the assignment 😅

Houston wondered aloud on the way back to ride share, Man, I wonder how her husband felt about her yelling at George like that?

I told him the husbands are there for it and fully understand in this case. And that this had been going on for many years. For perspective as a mother does with her son, “even your Aunt Karen and Gram have loved George Strait and have since I was your age”. Hmmm, he nodded. He got it then. 🤣😅

Epic concert 🎶thank you ! 🤠🐄

When I pulled this Newsweek mailer out of the stack, I’ll admit—for a split second—I wondered if they had used my face as the model! And they’re always talking about copyright! lol 🧐😄😷

Then reality kicked in… I would never wear my OR hat over my ears like that 😂—and that is definitely not my headlight 🔦 And I’d also like to believe my neck is longer than that.

All jokes aside, I don’t usually post every time these recognitions come around, but it’s always an honor to be included among “America’s Best Plastic Surgeons” by Newsweek 🏆, and to be recognized year after year by Castle Connolly and Texas Monthly 🙏

Reaching Hall of Fame status 🥇 with Texas Monthly was especially meaningful 🎉… although maybe it just means I’m getting old 😅🕰️ …and the Castle Connolly Exceptional Women in Medicine Award category is amazing.

Grateful, humbled, and still loving what I do every day! ❤️‍🩹 Thank you to all of my patients for your trust and to my staff for your loyalty👏

Let’s do it! [90s genX 🔊sound 🆙]
