Had a great time in Irvine with .usa this week, diving into advanced injection techniques! Every training reminds me why I love what I do, and how much there’s always to learn 💉

When people ask what’s on my mind 💉🤣 just keeping it real…

Surgery isn’t the only way to change your profile. 👃

As the pioneer of the Non Surgical Nose Job, I’ve spent nearly 20 years perfecting this procedure. Also known as the liquid rhinoplasty or liquid nose job, it’s a safe, effective option for patients who want to refine their nose without surgery. 💉

With precise placement of hyaluronic acid filler, I can: ✔ Smooth a dorsal hump ✔ Lift a drooping nasal tip ✔ Correct minor asymmetries ✔ Create a more balanced, refined profile

🔥 Who is a candidate? Patients seeking subtle but noticeable refinement who aren’t ready—or don’t need—surgical rhinoplasty.

🔥 How long do results last? Most results last 12–18 months, with many patients returning yearly for touch-ups.

🔥 Downtime? Minimal. Mild swelling or redness is common for 24–48 hours, but most patients return to daily life right away.

🔥 The results A straighter, more harmonious nose that complements your natural features—without anesthesia, surgical risks, or weeks of recovery.

This remains one of the most in-demand procedures at my practice, really great for patients who want refinement without the OR. 👃💉

Excellence isn’t bought—it’s earned 💉. The results people see? That’s just the tip of the iceberg. What really makes a great injector isn’t reviews or socials—it’s anatomy, precision, safety, and experience running deep beneath the surface.

Training with an expert changes everything. Watching, asking, practicing under guidance—it’s where skill meets confidence. Advanced knowledge + hands-on practice = safer, more natural results. Skill, safety, expertise… these aren’t extras. They’re everything. Every injector is only as good as the knowledge behind the needle. 😅

Ready to level up and learn? Trainings are now available 💉 DM me to learn more!

A single popcorn kernel won’t fill the bucket… and a single syringe won’t cover your whole face. Sorry! 😉💉

When it comes to reshaping your nose without surgery, precision is absolutely everything. 💉

Her dorsal hump near the upper nasal bridge disrupted the smooth contour of her profile. Using advanced filler techniques and a deep understanding of nasal anatomy, I was able to subtly smooth and refine her dorsum — creating a straighter, balanced nose that looks natural, more lifted and seamless.

This approach offers results that can be as impactful as surgical rhinoplasty, but with a fraction of the time, cost and with no downtime. 👃👍🏻

🥼 Providers interested in learning about my non-surgical rhinoplasty technique: DM me “TRAIN” to learn more.

I’ve been performing non-surgical rhinoplasty for over 15 years now, but this is a first — we ran one of my recent transformations through AI, and the results were pretty fascinating. According to ChatGPT, this treatment scored a 9.5/10, with improvements in dorsal hump camouflage, tip rotation, and overall balance between the nose, lips, and chin. The AI even pointed out how natural the outcome looks — no signs of being “overfilled.” I’ll take it. 👍🏻

It’s interesting to see how artificial intelligence is starting to be used in the aesthetic space, from diagnostic tools like OpenEvidence to applications like this — where machines are analyzing beauty and balance. While I’ll always believe real expertise comes from years of hands-on experience, it’s still exciting to watch these tools evolve alongside our work. 🤖

Providers — are any of you providers starting to integrate AI into your work yet? Whether it’s for diagnostics, treatment planning, or something else entirely?

If you remember this, it’s probably time for toxin... 💉😂

07/24/2025

We’ve been seeing a troubling rise in vascular complications tied to unlicensed, untrained injectors — particularly on social media, where patients are now sharing the aftermath of procedures that led to permanent damage, necrosis, and the need for surgical repair.

This isn’t about judgment… It’s about responsibility!

As licensed providers, we carry a duty to not only treat safely, but to educate — patients and peers. That means being transparent about complications, reinforcing anatomy-based technique, and creating space for real conversations around emergency readiness.

This post isn’t meant to incite fear. It’s meant to raise the standard.

For providers looking to advance their skills in safe, high-level injectable practice, DM me to learn more about my trainings! 💉

Just published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal- I had the privilege of co-authoring a Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) for the treatment of masseter muscle prominence (MMP). This is a condition I treat regularly in my practice, and being part of the research that supports what we do every day in the clinic is deeply meaningful to me.

In the study, we enrolled 150 patients with visibly marked or very marked masseter prominence and treated them with either 48 or 72 units of OnabotulinumtoxinA. By Day 90, over 90% of treated patients showed a clinically significant reduction in masseter severity. Improvements in facial volume, width, and mandibular angle were also observed, along with high levels of patient satisfaction and minimal adverse events. The treatment was well tolerated and consistent with the safety profile we’ve come to expect from this modality.

For patients seeking a more tapered, contoured jawline, this treatment continues to prove both reliable and impactful. 💉

Couldn’t resist. I’m not one to engage in schadenfreude w***y nilly, but the CEO and the head of HR? Now that’s setting some unfortunate corporate culture precedents right there!
What’s your position on this moment?
