In this episode, we’re talking about the truths behind recovery.

You’re going to bruise and swell, but by doing the right treatments, we can help decrease it.

If you are continuously icing, especially that first day, it sets a precdenet for the rest of your recovery timeline.

Super excited to share his results next week so stay tuned!

If there’s one thing I would recommend for my face and neck patients post-procedure, it’s hilotherapy.

Ice can be inconsistent, temperatures rising and falling, while hilotherapy devices allow for a consistent cooling that can aid in your healing and reduce swelling and pain.

Have you ever tried a hilotherapy device? What did you think?

Have you had made your laser appointment yet?

We’re nearly to the start of summer, and taking advantage of the cooler weather and cloud cover to avoid UV rays while you’re healing is always recommended. Plus, it means your skin will be looking radiant by the time you’re heading out for a day on the boat!

Spoiler Alert: He could not go back to work in an hour.

The old saying goes that doctors make the worst patients, but Patient T was nothing short of a delight to work with. It’s always a blast getting to discuss the nitty-gritty details of our procedure with someone who not only fully understands what I’m discussing, but understands why we take each step we do.

Tune in next week to see his results!

It’s hard finding just one word to encapsulate my thoughts on each one of these procedures. And sometimes I admittedly couldn’t!

Did any of these procedures catch your eye? Comment below and ask for a member of our staff to reach out to you directly to learn more!

It’s always an honor when someone who understands the anatomy asks me to work on them. That said, I’m excited to introduce our newest series, Patient T!

Patient T is an anesthesiologist who flew all the way to Chicago to come see me. He has read all of my scientific articles, so he really understands and appreciates the 5 layer neck.

In episode one, we go through our consultation where we discuss revising the eyes, the neck, the face, etc. Next episode, I will go more in depth on the specific surgical techniques. Be sure to stay tuned in next Friday!

I tried Botox for the first time!

I held off for a long time because I thought I didn’t need it. And I wasn’t strictly wrong. No one NEEDS Botox, but I’ve found that I very much enjoy having it, I like the outcome. Plus, Botox is a great first step into facial treatments, as it typically wears off within 3-4 months. If you feel like you want more movement than you had, you want to try a different neuromodulator like Dysport, or want to try a different placement, your results aren’t permanent, and you can always try something new.

As most of you know by now, I recently went to Japan!

So many things stood out to me while I was there, such as the local diet (check out my blog for more on that). One factor I believe makes their food so delicious is the tools they use.

The knives in Japan are so sharp they actually glide between cells, making each cut incredibly precise. I apply this same logic during my surgeries by using ultra-precise tools to ensure near-perfect outcomes.

If you are interested in learning more about my trip, I have posted other videos and blogs that can be found on my website!

The staff keeps asking for old altar boy photos of me. I fear I did this to myself.

The intersection of faith and medicine has always been a tricky one. Especially in modern days, with so many elective procedures available, it’s more complex than ever to navigate those crossroads and to understand what is the best surgical decision for someone as a person of faith. Luckily we have clarity that, at least within the Catholic Church, plastic surgery is fully permissible so long as it helps your mental well-being, which is something we always want to occur no matter your faith.

The Queen Virali is back with her results!

If you want to see a textbook example of why our pre- and post-procedure care works, look no further. Taking appropriate care of your body, taking preventative supplements, properly hydrating, and taping routinely is vital to seeing the best possible results for your nose.

We’re so happy Virali loves her new nose. Rhino results shouldn’t be a template, they should fit each and every patient, and Virali still looks like Virali.

If you want to see her results for yourself, come say hello in person in our office!
