I’m so honored to have taken part in this study led by looking at allograft filler (taken from your own body) to be used for improving nasaolabial folds otherwise known as smile lines.

This work not only shows that research can be done in private practice settings but also that as we expand our knowledge and use of allograft materials we can continue to advance the field of facial aesthetics.

It was a pleasure and an honor to attend the meeting in Madrid. We shared some incredible ideas and learned not only how to better help our patients, but also that there are incredible surgeons and therapists all over the world who aim to achieve the same mission. Thanks to and Dr. Javier Gavilan for organizing an incredible meeting. Madrid was a great host and now off to Mallorca for a few days of R&R before returning to Santa Monica!

One of the great joys of being a plastic surgeon is helping someone “look” the way they “feel.”

Our lovely patient thought she wasn’t representing her true self when she went out with her friends and family. Using deep plain facelifting techniques, we were able to sculpt her jaw and neck line and provide her with results that give her confidence when she is out on the town.

We are grateful that she chose us out of the mini surgeons in Los Angeles and ecstatic about her results!

“I wish I hadn’t waited so long to do surgery on my nose!” This was what our beautiful patient kept saying over and over at her 3 month visit. Not only was she interested in refining her dorsum and tip but she also struggled with difficulty breathing for many years.

With my colleague Dr. Michael Yong we performed combined rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery.

3 months later our patient is extremely happy with the beautiful result!

If you are interested in learning more about ultrasonic rhinoplasty techniques and the most cutting edge options for surgery please call to make an appointment with one of the best Rhinoplasty surgeons in Los Angeles.

“Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.”

Today is Martin Luther King day, also known as the National Day of Service. He believed that in order to help our nation we need to consider ways in which we can all serve our neighbors, friends, family and of course, strangers. Hopefully we can keep this message close to heart as there are many in our communities who need help more than ever right now.

Hot off the press! Our paper detailing the experiences of Vestibular Schwannoma patients with facial paralysis was just published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery, Part B!

Our study found significant gaps in the preparation and management of facial paralysis.
We plan to perform future studies of the surgeons who manage these tumors to better understand how they prepare patients for the emotional and physical sequelae of FP.

Stay tuned for the next part of our story which should come out in 2025! Special thanks to all the patients who completed the survey and to the for supporting this work.

Sometimes the best advice is right in front of you. You just have to open your eyes and pay attention.
