The ability offered to us to assist our patients in fully seeing what their nose may look like post-procedure means we’re able to offer significant autonomy to our patients in their decision making process.

Everyone, meet Virali!

If you’ve ever called or stepping into our office, chances are you’ve been greeted by our truly incomparable receptionist, Virali. She’s been interested in changing her nose for some time, and finally decided to take the leap!

In episode one, we take a look at the planning process for her rhino. Utilizing our 3D modeling software, we’re able to render a model of what we’re aiming for her new nose to look like. The 3D modeling offers a highly realistic estimate of what her nose may look like post operatively.

With our gameplan in place, we’re able to move forward crafting Virali’s new nose! Stay tuned for the next episode to see her results!

It’s always the last few pounds, the last little bit of belly fat that just won’t budge, isn’t it?

For the right patients, CoolSculpting can prove to be an effective tool for eliminating that stubborn fat that loves to cling to our lower belly, thighs, and around the middle back.

If you’re prepping for your summer body, CoolSculpting takes 2-3 months to see your best results, so give us a call to get on our books!

03/27/2026

We’re back with our patient at her two month mark, and her results are aligning wonderfully with our goals for her!

Her skin is smoother, her jaw is more defined and sculpted, her lids aren’t drooping, and she has an all over much younger profile.

She will continue to come to check in with us in coming months so we can monitor her healing process and ensure a smooth recovery, and later in the year, we’ll come back with our 5th and final episode showing her final results!

Stay tuned!

I am so excited to share my new book, The Art of Recovery, with the world!

The Art of Recovery is a comprehensive guide designed to help patients heal beautifully after facial surgery. Drawing on years of surgical experience and scientific research, The Art of Recovery reveals how preparation, nutrition, and modern technology work together to enhance recovery.

From understanding the effects of fillers and supplements, to harnessing light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and advanced surgical techniques, this book empowers patients with practical, evidence-based strategies for optimal healing. With clear guidance and compassionate insight, this transforms recovery from a process into an art, helping readers feel confident, informed, and ready to embrace their best selves.

Before you book that trip to Turkey, let’s chat about one of the most important steps you can take on your hair restoration journey: finasteride.

A transplant won’t halt your hair loss, it can just fill in what’s already been lost. Finasteride can help halt that hair loss, preserving the hair you already have, and protecting any new hair you transplant in.

Do you think Finasteride is the right addition to your regimen?

We’re looking at recovery today!

The first days after a receiving treatment are often a mental struggle just as much as a physical one. You’re bruised, swollen, and the results you’re seeing in the mirror look nothing like what you’re expecting. It isn’t how you used to look, and it isn’t how you want to look. It’s that awful in between where you can struggle to see yourself looking back from the mirror.

This is normal and to be expected. As you continue to heal, your body will shift and settle into the desired results. The key ingredient is simply time.

Everyone has different timelines, everyone heals at different speeds, but our team will always meet you where you are and help you along your recovery journey, ensuring a satisfying final result.

Let’s talk micronutrients!

While maintaining healthy macronutrients are vital for your bodies function, just as vital and far less discussed are micronutrients, your essential vitamins and minerals.

During a recent trip to Japan, I learned more about the immense benefits of the superfood natto. Natto is highly dense in probiotics and heart healthy enzymes.

While your priority should always be ensuring you have your complete daily vitamins and nutrients in whatever form that takes, I always find that making my own food worthwhile over a pill, better allowing me to control exactly what goes into my body. Plus, it’s always fun spending some time in the kitchen!

In episode two of our Christmas Makeover series, we’re walking through our plan of action for our patient. Our patient was a total beginner, so we ensured our treatment plan was comprehensive so she understood exactly what we were doing at each and every step along the way.

What we did:
1. A lower blepharoplasty and fat transfer to remove the extra fullness dragging down her undereye.
2. A brow lift to reverse the downward tilt of her brow.
3. A lip lift to pull the lip back to where it was in her 30s, reversing the distance that has developed between her lip and nose due to aging, and carefully tucking those scars into the creases of her nose.
4. A neck lift, lifting her hyoid while restoring and balancing the structure of her neck.
5. Lasering to eliminate fine lines and natural sun damage.

It’s always vital to ensure our patients understand and are enthusiastic about every step in our treatment plans, which is why we always prioritize a highly comprehensive consultation and pre-operative process. Education is always the key to satisfaction.

Stay tuned to see her gorgeous results!

I’m so excited to introduce you to our newest patient journey! In this series, we’ll walk you through the entire patient experience. From consultation to surgery, to all aspects of recovery.

We are so grateful for our patient for being so open and sharing her experience with you all!

She’s 57, but on the inside, she has the vibrant energy of a 28-year-old. Like so many patients I see, she’s been feeling a disconnect between her youthful soul and what she sees in the mirror. She’s new to the world of botox, fillers, and lasers, but she’s ready to jump right in and make a change.

The goal? Get her looking and feeling like herself by Christmas to surprise her family. Using a stunning photo of her in her 30s as our target, we’ll map out step-by-step how to restore natural volume to her eyes, cheeks, lips, and brows.

It’s all about matching the outside with the inside. Stay tuned for Episode 2 as we break down the surgery step by step!
