This wonderful patient came to me with a painful lipoma on her right shoulder that had been limiting her movement and causing daily discomfort. She couldn’t lift her arm fully and felt constant tightness in the area.

We removed the lipoma under local anesthesia, and her recovery was smooth and uneventful. Today, she has full range of motion back — no more pain, no more restriction.

She told me she didn’t realize how much it had been holding her back until it was gone. Now she feels strong, free, and comfortable in her own body again. 💪✨

“I really need a day in between Sunday and Monday.” — Unknown

Honestly, at this point I’d settle for a Sunday 2.0.
Because how is it that I blink once and suddenly it’s Monday, my coffee isn’t strong enough, and my to-do list is judging me?

Petition to officially add this new day to the calendar. I’ll happily name it. Suggestions welcome. 😅✨

✨ Mineral Glow moment ☀️
I’ve been testing the Supergoop Mineral Glow Tinter lately — and honestly, it’s a bit of a game changer. The coverage is light but somehow still evens everything out beautifully, and it gives that subtle “I drink three liters of water a day” kind of glow 💧

That said, I still prefer the texture of the non-mineral version (it goes on smoother and feels silkier on the skin). But this one wins major points for its glow and mineral protection — perfect for days when I want a little tint and serious SPF without makeup.

When I read words like these, I pause. I take a breath. And I remember exactly why I do what I do. 🫶

This is so much more than aesthetic surgery.
It’s trust. It’s safety. It’s being truly seen, heard, and cared for.

To every patient who has walked through my door—thank you.
For your trust, your stories, your courage, and your honesty.
I do not take it for granted. 💛

In case you needed to read this today...You’ve done hard things before. You can do them again. 💛

Sometimes we get so focused on the next goal… the next hill to climb, the next challenge to overcome… that we forget to pause and honor everything we’ve already pushed through to get here.

This beautiful patient had lived for years with a forehead lipoma that she always hid behind her bangs. She told me she felt like people were always staring at her forehead — so she kept hiding it.

We removed and she healed beautifully. For the first time in years, she changed her hairstyle — no more bangs, no more hiding. With diligent SPF protection the scar will not be visible at all by next summer!

She told me she feels free and confident again, finally seeing herself in the mirror without that constant reminder. ✨

A little throwback to the year 2000 — 25 years ago! Can you believe it? 💫 This photo was taken by the incredible (RIP) for his 2001 calendar.

My pre-baby hair days — long, thick, and not curly at all, haha.

Hard to believe how much time has passed. From Belgium to NYC… what a journey, what a life.🙃😌

✨ “It’s all about finding the calm in the chaos.” – Donna Karan ✨

Fall always feels like a whirlwind — back-to-school events, endless to-do lists, and patients rushing to schedule their surgeries before the end of the year 🍂📚💻.

Between work, motherhood, and everything in between, this season can be a lot.

But I keep reminding myself to pause — even for a few minutes — to breathe, reset, and find the calm in all the chaos. It is not easy. It’s actually pretty hard. But the truth is, balance isn’t about doing less, it’s about finding peace in the middle of the busy. 💫

To all the working moms out there navigating this crazy season — you’re doing amazing. ❤️

If your little ones struggle with eczema or dry, irritated skin, Avène XeraCalm A.D is truly a game-changer. 💧
It’s gentle, fragrance-free, and deeply nourishing — perfect for sensitive skin. I’ve tried countless creams over the years, and this one actually soothes and restores the skin barrier instead of just masking dryness.

It’s one of those products that quietly does its job and makes everyone’s life a little easier — especially at bedtime when itchy skin can drive kids (and parents) crazy. 💤✨
