Olivia Pearl is ✨T E N months✨

What a month! Olivia took her first steps and officially graduated from crawling 🚼 to walking, says ‘Mama’ and ‘Dada’🗣️, started swimming lessons 🏊🏻‍♀️, went to the zoo and the fair for the first time (and rode sketchy fair rides 🎠), and spent lots of time with family and friends ❤️. This little girl is just so sweet, happy, smart, and fearless (just watch the videos)!

The right technique starts with understanding what’s actually aging. So even though what YOU see is loose, sagging skin or deep wrinkles, a deep plane facelift isn’t about pulling skin—it’s about restoring structure.

By lifting the deeper facial layers, this technique repositions what has truly descended, creating a natural, refreshed look that holds up over time.

We all know who the real boss of the practice is… it’s my office manager, Tania. She does it ALL so I can focus on taking care of patients and cutting faces 😁

Some days, like yesterday, work-life balance feels like a myth.
The world feels loud, expectations feel heavy, and the disappointments stack up faster than the wins.

But every now and then, it helps to pause and remember: we don’t have to do it all perfectly—we just have to do it authentically.

✨ We can be ambitious and present.
🤍 We can be surgeons and moms.
🫶🏻 We can keep growing while giving ourselves grace.

The goal isn’t balance every day.
It’s becoming the best version of ourselves, one honest moment at a time.

One of my favorite nose transformations 💫 This sweet patient felt her nose just didn’t harmonize with the rest of her face. I removed the dorsal hump, refined and lifted the tip, and narrowed the bony and base widths. She’s happy and I just love this for her 🫶🏻✨

"I did my research thoroughly and chose one of the top double board-certified plastic surgeons in the U.S., Dr. Hancock and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Everything went amazingly from start to finish. I woke up peacefully from anesthesia, experienced absolutely NO pain, and honestly felt so good that I accidentally did things I wasn’t even supposed to do post-op — like making.." says Veronica on Google

“Downtime” after any facial cosmetic procedure or surgery varies based on what you consider downtime… is it the amount of time until you can resume normal activities? … or until you can go back to work or school? … Or until you look normal? Be sure to ask your surgeon about specifics in any consultation so you can prepare accordingly!

Btw - the procedure? The results were 1000% worth looking like for a few days. Stay tuned for more info about this!

ACTUALLY doing surgery is only a small part of what I do as a facial plastic surgeon on a day to day basis. Being a surgeon means making a real commitment to lifelong learning - I’m constantly trying to refine my techniques, expand my surgical “tool box”, and be a better physician and surgeon. And even though I feel like a permanent student most days haha, it’s exciting to be able to pay it forward by sharing my own knowledge and experience.
