My thoughts on all things Vitamin C in the 🍋

I formulated the Vitamin C+B+E Ferulic Serum with 25% Vitamin C for unparalleled brightening and collagen stimulation, complemented by 2% Vitamin B to refine texture, 1.5% Vitamin E for antioxidant synergy, and 0.75% Ferulic Acid for stabilization— as an excellent complement to any skincare routine.

The anatomy of aging

The anatomy of aging is a multilayered process that affects every structural level of the face and body—from bone to skin. The facial skeleton gradually resorbs and retrudes, especially in the maxilla, mandible, and orbital rims, leading to a loss of projection and support. Overlying muscles atrophy and lose tone, altering facial expressions and contour. The fascial system, including the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), relaxes and descends, contributing to jowling and loss of definition. Fat compartments undergo selective atrophy, hypertrophy, and migration, disrupting youthful convexities and creating hollows or bulges. The subcutaneous tissue thins, diminishing cushioning and vascularity. Finally, the skin itself loses collagen, elastin, and hydration, becoming thinner, less elastic, and more prone to wrinkling. Together, these cumulative changes create the visible and structural hallmarks of aging—a progressive loss of volume, definition, and elasticity across all anatomic layers.

Profile balancing involves subtle, non-surgical refinements to harmonize the proportions of the nose, chin, and lips, creating an elegant and cohesive side profile. Using precise micro-adjustments with injectable fillers or neuromodulators, the goal is not to change identity but to restore equilibrium between facial features. A slightly projected chin can bring balance to a stronger nose; gentle contouring along the dorsum can smooth irregularities; and calibrated volume in the lips can soften transitions between the midface and lower face. When performed at the millimeter level, these adjustments create natural symmetry, improved light reflection, and a sense of quiet refinement—an elevated version of one’s own anatomy where every element works in visual harmony.

The Nefertiti Neck Lift is a non-surgical rejuvenation technique designed to refine the neck, sharpen the jawline, and restore a youthful cervicomental angle without incisions or downtime. By carefully injecting neuromodulator along the platysma bands, mandibular border, and submandibular region, the downward pull of the platysma is selectively relaxed. This allows the natural lifting action of the facial elevators to become more apparent, enhancing lower facial definition and improving contour. The result is a smoother, more elongated neckline and a balanced lower third of the face—achieved through precision, millimeter-level technique, and an understanding of the intricate interplay between facial musculature and aesthetic proportion.

Neuromodulators, such as botox/ xeomin, function as precise tools for fine-tuning facial harmony rather than instruments of transformation. By temporarily relaxing overactive muscles, they allow opposing muscles to lift, soften, and rebalance expression. The artistry lies in understanding that even a single millimeter of adjustment—whether to the brow’s arch, the curvature of the lip, or the projection of the chin—can dramatically alter perceived beauty, emotion, and symmetry. These minute refinements can brighten the eyes, restore proportion to the midface, and subtly lift the corners of the mouth, creating a rested and naturally expressive appearance. When approached with anatomical knowledge and aesthetic restraint, neuromodulators demonstrate that true facial optimization is achieved not through excess, but through the smallest, most deliberate calibrations.

The FIRST WEEK after eyelid surgery 📐

There is still major swelling here, but many people inquire about how healing progresses after surgical procedures. For this handsome patient, I performed upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty with autologous fat grafting and lateral canthopexy on the right to improve the symmetry of the lower lid. It takes months for full swelling to regress but he is already looking fresher and more symmetric. Stay tuned for his continued progress.

Rapid recovery small volume breast augmentation is a refined, minimally invasive procedure designed to enhance natural beauty with subtle, proportionate results. Using precise surgical technique and advanced instrumentation, the implants are placed through hidden one-inch incisions—typically concealed in the inframammary fold—to ensure nearly invisible scars. The focus is on achieving a discreet, soft, and harmonious contour that complements the patient’s frame rather than altering it dramatically. To optimize comfort, a targeted nerve block is performed, allowing most patients to return to light activities within twenty-four hours. This approach reflects a new standard of aesthetic surgery—natural in appearance, rapid in recovery, and elegant in ex*****on.
