When jawline enhancement is done in the right hands, it doesn’t look “done.” It just looks better. 💉 The goal isn’t to change your face… it’s to bring back structure, definition, and balance that may have softened over time. Think of it as subtle regeneration, restoring that clean, confident 90-degree contour that frames your entire look!

For men, it can sharpen and masculinize the lower face, giving back that strong, defined edge. For women, it refines and lifts, softening the appearance of loose jowls and creating a beautifully sculpted, youthful profile.

Pairing this with a touch of chin filler can further harmonize the profile, keeping everything natural, balanced, and perfectly you.

You don’t walk out looking overfilled — you walk out looking refreshed. Comment "JAW” to learn more. 📐💉

Comment "FILLER" and I will DM you the full article! 💉 I’m very excited to share that our latest research on hyaluronic acid fillers was just published in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, one of the leading journals in our field! This invited article allowed us to explore how filler properties - including elasticity, cohesiveness, and fluidity - impact both results and safety, bridging science with real-world aesthetic applications. 📰

Understanding the rheology of fillers is more than just theory because it informs how we approach every treatment, from volume correction to dynamic facial contouring. By examining these characteristics, we can anticipate how fillers behave in tissue, optimize outcomes, and reduce potential complications like nodules or displacement.

This work represents a step forward in designing treatments that are safer, more predictable, and tailored to each patient’s needs. I’m proud of the team and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing conversation about innovation and safety in aesthetic medicine. 🙌

Non-surgical nose job 👃 is one of my most requested procedures 💉. I have spent years perfecting advanced injection techniques to achieve surgical-level results, without the downtime. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is ideal for refining the bridge, lifting the tip, and creating balanced, natural-looking contours using precise filler placement.

Every nose is unique, and so is every treatment plan. Our goal is always to enhance your natural structure while maintaining harmony with the rest of your features. With the right injector, this treatment can be transformative… both in results and confidence!

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, it’s important to understand the difference between fillers and biostimulators, because they serve very different purposes. Fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, allow me to sculpt and define areas like the jawline, chin, and nose. They give immediate, targeted results and let me create clean edges and specific contours.

Biostimulators, on the other hand, work by stimulating your own collagen production over time. Products like Sculptra or dilute Radiesse are ideal for restoring soft, broad volume to areas such as the cheeks and temples. Instead of instant changes, these treatments build gradual, natural-looking fullness over a series of sessions. 💉

Both approaches can be powerful tools, but the choice depends on your goals. If you want structure and definition, filler is usually the best option. If you’re looking to restore volume and improve skin quality over time, biostimulators offer beautiful, subtle results.

People love to say ‘filler is out.’ The reality is more complex. Filler hasn’t disappeared and it’s not going to - it’s evolved. Hyaluronic acid remains one of the safest, most versatile tools we have. It’s biocompatible, reversible, and mimics what our own bodies naturally produce. The real shift is in philosophy: patients are no longer chasing exaggerated volume. They’re seeking balance, proportion, and refinement. 💉

This is why biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse are gaining so much attention. Instead of just filling, they stimulate the body’s own collagen and elastin — offering gradual, subtle changes that age gracefully with the patient. And beyond injectables, we’re seeing the rise of energy-based devices, threads, and regenerative treatments. The toolbox is expanding, but the goal remains the same: natural, harmonious enhancement.

The aesthetics industry is maturing alongside its patients. People are smarter, more discerning, and more educated than ever. They want personalization over templates, artistry over algorithms. The future isn’t about the next viral trend — it’s about choosing the right tool, for the right patient, at the right time. That’s the future of aesthetics, and it’s one I’m proud to be part of.

Interested in non-surgical rhinoplasty? Comment "NOSE” 👃

One of my own providers wanted to see what it’s like to be on the other side of the syringe. 💉

Her nose had a slight downward slope, and with precise filler placement, I was able to lift and balance her profile. From the front, you can really see the improvement in symmetry at the tip, while still keeping everything natural and proportional.

This is exactly why I love non-surgical rhinoplasty - a powerful yet subtle way to bring harmony to the face without surgery.

Injectors- what’s one thing a patient said to you recently that gave you a jump scare?! 💉😱

One of the most common concerns I hear in consultations is about the safety of under-eye filler. The truth is: when done correctly, it’s not only safe - but it’s one of the most effective ways to restore a refreshed, natural look without surgery.

This treatment is called the non-surgical blepharoplasty, and it’s a procedure I believe in so much that I’ve even done it myself. The results are immediate, the downtime is minimal, and when performed by an experienced injector, the risks are very low.

If you’ve been curious about under-eye filler, here are a few key things to keep in mind:

💉 It brightens hollow, tired under-eyes without surgery
💉 It can last 1–2 years depending on your skin and lifestyle
💉 Safety comes down to proper technique and experience

This is one of my favorite treatments because the results are subtle, natural, and life-changing.

Lately, so many patients have been asking me about PRF EZ Gel for the under-eyes. Here’s my perspective ⬇️

PRF EZ Gel is made from your own plasma and processed into a gel that’s injected under the eyes. It can stimulate fibroblasts and growth factors, which means more collagen, elastin, and better skin quality. Some subtle volume comes with it, too. 💉

The advantages patients like: it’s autologous (your own tissue), it’s less likely to cause a bluish Tyndall hue than fillers, and it carries a lower risk of certain complications.

But here’s the reality: PRF EZ Gel is not a filler. The volume is modest, results usually last around 6 months, and unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, it can’t be dissolved if you don’t like the result.

For patients with true under-eye hollows, I still prefer carefully placed HA fillers - they give predictable volume, can last years, and are reversible. But if skin quality and fine lines are your main concern, PRF EZ Gel can be a reasonable option.

Injectors- what are your thoughts on EZ Gel?

09/13/2025

Would you have guessed this wasn’t surgery? 👃💉

This right here is why I do what I do. Watching a patient see herself with a new level of confidence is priceless. This non-surgical rhinoplasty was achieved with filler… no surgery, no downtime! Just immediate, life changing results.

The artistry of subtle injections can reshape confidence as much as a profile. 👍🏻
