I hope you and your loved ones are having a healthy start to the new year! As we step into a new year, we want to welcome you into the quiet moments you don’t always see: the care, focus, and intention that go into preparing for a MIND surgery.

Every instrument placed with purpose.
Every detail checked with diligence.
Every setup guided by patient care.

This ASMR moment was created by our medical assistants to reflect the calm, precision, and respect we bring to every procedure.

Here’s to a year of mindful care and thoughtful healing ahead.

Facial harmony is deeply influenced by symmetry and proportion. Symmetrical features, where both sides of the face mirror each other, create a sense of balance that the human eye naturally finds attractive. The golden ratio (1.618:1), a classical standard of beauty, is often reflected in ideal facial proportions such as eye spacing, nose width, and the relationship between facial height and width.

In maxillofacial surgery, these principles are more than just theory; they guide precise skeletal adjustments in areas like the midface and jawline. The goal is to restore or enhance facial balance, bringing out a person’s natural esthetics in a way that feels both subtle and transformative.

A narrow maxilla doesn’t just affect your smile —it impacts your airway.

When the maxilla is underdeveloped or too narrow, it can reduce space for the tongue, causing it to shift backward and narrow the airway. This can lead to:

🔹 Difficulty breathing, especially at night
🔹 Increased nasal resistance and obstruction
🔹 Greater risk of sleep-disordered breathing

These changes can affect everything from sleep quality to energy levels and long-term health. That’s why evaluating maxillary width and airway function is a crucial part of comprehensive care.

From Scan ➝ Surgery ➝ Skin

This isn’t just a CBCT scan, it’s a story. What started as imaging for a life changing jaw surgery with Dr. Kevin Coppelson has now been immortalized as a tattoo by the patient’s mom.

A symbol of breathing better, living healthier, and honoring the incredible transformation.

Just Breathe.

Helping patients regain their health and quality of life is the most rewarding part of my work. This patient came to me with severe sleep apnea and a daily reliance on a CPAP machine. After undergoing jaw surgery, he no longer needs a CPAP machine and is finally sleeping through the night—something he hadn’t experienced in years. Even more incredible, they’ve noticed a major improvement in focus and clarity, which had been a struggle for a long time. I’m truly honored to have been a part of their journey and so thankful for the trust they placed in me.

Jaw surgery is one of the most powerful tools we have to change the face—safely, predictably, and profoundly. It’s not just about correcting a bite or opening an airway. When done right, it can completely reshape how someone is perceived—and more importantly, how they see themselves.

Facial beauty has always been a core focus of my work. I care deeply about facial harmony—how the jaws, chin, and midface come together to create balance. That’s why I’m proud to have written a chapter for the 2025 volume of Advances in Cosmetic Surgery, an incredible textbook that brings together leaders in the field of Cosmetic Surgery.

Big thank you to the editorial team at Advances in Cosmetic Surgery for inviting me to contribute. This chapter reflects my passion and years of work dedicated to helping people look and feel their best—inside and out.

If you’re curious about how these approaches might benefit you—or a patient you care for—feel free to reach out. Always happy to collaborate.

4 weeks post-op and the transformation is nothing short of remarkable! ✨ After performing a 3-piece LeFort I osteotomy and BSSO corrective jaw surgery, this patient’s side profile has seen a noticeable improvement with enhanced jaw projection. By carefully advancing both the upper and lower jaws forward, we’ve not only improved her facial aesthetics but also significantly increased airway function. The precise alignment of her jaws is already making a difference, enhancing both the form and function of her smile. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the positive changes this surgery has brought about!

From a consultation to a life-changing transformation, this incredible journey showcases the power of corrective jaw surgery. 💫 This patient underwent a 3-piece LeFort I osteotomy, BSSO (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy), and the placement of custom alloplastic implants to correct both functional and esthetic concerns.
