This is what happens when facial rejuvenation is done with patience and intention ✨

At 6 months post-op, her Artiste Lift™️ looks soft, balanced, and completely natural; not pulled, not overdone. Just refreshed features that still look like her.

Swipe through to see how the results evolve over time.
The final slide shows her at just 1 week post-op, when swelling and redness are still part of the normal healing process. It’s an important reminder that early recovery doesn’t reflect the final outcome, time does.

Her customized Artiste Lift™️ included:
• Preservation deep plane facelift
• Deep vertical neck lift
• Temporal lift
• Partial face fat transfer
• CO₂ laser around the eyes

Refined shape. Modern feel. Beautifully supported. ✨

This patient underwent a Bilateral Saline-to-Silicone Implant Exchange combined with a Wise Mastopexy with Dr. Tyler Frew. This is a powerful revision designed to restore position, improve contour, and enhance your overall breast shape!

💡 Why this combination matters:
• Silicone implants provide a softer, more natural look and feel
• Implant exchange allows refinement of size, shape, and symmetry
• Wise mastopexy lifts and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning

This patient had a Bilateral Silicone Breast Augmentation with DuraSorb® mesh, providing added internal support for a lifted, stable, and long-lasting result.

DuraSorb® acts like an internal bra, helping support the implants, improve lower pole stability, and reduce the risk of bottoming out over time.

✔ Fuller, lifted shape
✔ Enhanced implant support
✔ Natural contour that lasts

Considering breast augmentation or revision? Schedule a consultation with Dr. Frew to see if DuraSorb® is right for you! 🌟

Her new confidence is showing up in more ways than one! ✨✨

This patient underwent a Primary External Level II Rhinoplasty, creating a beautifully balanced, refined nose that complements her natural features, but that wasn’t the only transformation we noticed.

During her recovery, she also completed Elixir MD Light Therapy treatments, and after just THREE sessions, her acne visibly began to clear. When we asked her about it, she confirmed it herself that her skin started improving almost immediately!

💡 Why Elixir MD Light Therapy?
- Supports surgical healing after procedures
- Reduces inflammation and redness
- Helps calm active acne and promotes clearer skin
- Enhances overall skin recovery and glow

For patients struggling with acne and undergoing surgery, this is a powerful reminder that healing can happen on multiple levels — confidence, skin, and self-image 💫

And here’s why! ⤵️

Not every request leads to the best result and as your surgeon, I want to protect YOU instead of chasing a procedure. Saying no means no shortcuts, no overdone results, no compromising facial harmony, and no procedures that won’t age well.

My philosophy is simple: long-term, natural, elegant results always come first. Sometimes the most powerful part of a consultation isn’t what we add, it’s what we don’t do.

3 Months. One Transformation. ✨

This patient is glowing after her Silicone Breast Augmentation with 560cc implants—and while her results look amazing now, healing is a journey. Here’s what to expect during the first 3 months after surgery with
Dr. Frew:

Weeks 1–2
• Breasts sit high and feel tight
• Swelling, pressure, and firmness are normal
• Upper fullness is more noticeable

Weeks 3–6
• Swelling begins to soften and settle
• Implants start to “drop” into a more natural position
• Breasts feel less firm and more comfortable

Weeks 6–12
• Shape becomes rounder and more natural
• Implants continue to settle and soften
• Final contours begin to reveal themselves

Every body heals differently, but patience is key—your results will continue to improve with time. This is why trusting the process (and your surgeon) matters.

Considering breast augmentation?
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Frew and let’s create results that feel confident, balanced, and beautifully you. 💫
