Rosie O’Donnell recently shared that after losing 50 pounds on Mounjaro, she felt like her face wasn’t just aging, it was “melting.”

That’s why Dr. Taghva is seeing more GLP-1 patients than ever.

The reality is that fat isn’t just weight—it’s structure. Rapid weight loss can lead to facial volume loss, loose skin, breast deflation, and changes in contour that many patients don’t anticipate.

If you’re on a GLP-1:
✨ Prioritize protein
✨ Protect your sleep
✨ Address facial volume loss early
✨ Consider consulting with a plastic surgeon before significant weight loss

GLP-1s can be life-changing. The key is making sure your face and body keep up with the transformation. 🤍

Social media has popularized procedures like a “preventative facelift,” but is earlier actually better? 👀

According to Dr. Taghva, not necessarily.

A facelift is most powerful when the structural changes of aging have fully surfaced. For many women, that happens after menopause, when hormonal shifts have settled and the changes in the face are more clearly defined.

That doesn’t mean waiting until it’s “too late.” It means understanding that surgery should solve a problem that actually exists.

That’s why when a woman in her 30s comes in asking for a facelift, sometimes the most important thing a plastic surgeon can say is no. The best results come from the right procedure, at the right time, for the right reason. 🤍

For this patient, the epicanthal folds were compressing the inner corners, making her eyes appear smaller and asymmetric. Additionally, the upper lids had excess skin, flattening the crease.

After a thorough consultation, an upper blepharoplasty and medial epicanthoplasty were designed to achieve a subtle and balanced outcome. 🌟

Dr. Taghva released the medial canthal webs, refined the upper lid crease, and removed the hooding, thus opening the eyes without changing their character.

As a result, her eyes are more balanced, more open, and still entirely her. ♥︎

From consultation to surgery, to recovery, Dr. Taghva’s goal is always to restore, not distort.

One of the hardest, but also one of the most important, parts of plastic surgery isn’t saying “yes”—it’s knowing when to say no. ✨

Dr. Taghva shares that she most often talks women out of these procedures, not because they are always wrong, but because every decision should be made with the future in mind.

The best results aren’t about trends or doing more. They’re about balance, intention, and understanding how the face changes over time.

Your face isn’t a trend. It has to last. 🤍

Have you noticed that the men in Hollywood lately look a little… off? 👀

As Dr. Taghva explains, when work is done on male faces, the margin for error is small.

A few of the biggest mistakes:
1) Removing too much upper eyelid skin
2) Missing preexisting ptosis
3) Overfilling the midface
4) Overlifting the brow

What happens?
The face can lose the heaviness and definition that make male features look natural and balanced, resulting in drastically changed or even feminized faces.

That’s why experience, surgical judgment, and a deep understanding of male anatomy are everything.

If you’re considering any type of surgery, ask questions. Ask to see markings. Make sure your surgeon understands the difference between refreshed and overdone. 🤍

Last week, we talked about “looksmaxxing” and the dangers of following internet trends. This week, we wanted to show real results backed by thorough consultation and surgical expertise.

This combination of upper blepharoplasty and liposculpting of the lower face/submental area with Renuvion was designed to address two common concerns: heaviness around the eyes and fullness under the chin.

By opening the eyes and refining the jawline, the overall effect is a face that looks less tired, more defined, and naturally refreshed, all without relying on unfounded techniques like “bone smashing.”

“Looksmaxxing” is all over social media, along with hammering your face to get a sharper jawline. Aside from the obvious risks, it doesn’t actually work.

A softer jawline is usually not a bone issue. It’s fat. Specifically, the pocket under the chin that blurs the jaw and neck.

And no amount of mewing, chewing, or “bone smashing” is going to fix that.

The things that will work are:
- Submental liposuction to remove that fat (permanently)
- Renuvion when needed to tighten the skin from within

Before you follow internet trends… make sure they’re grounded in reality. 🔬

Considering l***aplasty? Here’s what it actually involves. 💭

A l***aplasty can reduce or reshape the l***a minora when there’s discomfort or significant self-consciousness.

One important note: perfect symmetry is not the goal. ❌
Chasing it can lead to over-resection and long-term issues like dryness or discomfort.

The real goal?
Function, comfort, and most importantly, feeling at ease in your own body. ✨

Dr. Taghva was recently featured in sharing her approach to fat transfer breast augmentation. ✨

Using your own fat, this technique allows for a subtle increase (typically about ½ to 1 cup size) while restoring soft, balanced volume without any implants or any overdone look.

This isn’t a trend-driven procedure. It requires a deep understanding of anatomy, fat survival, and meticulous technique to achieve soft, balanced results. From harvesting and purifying the fat to carefully placing it for long-term viability, every step matters. 🤍
