Ten years ago this time, my kids were so cute and little… and life looked very different

We had finally moved into our house after living with my parents for three years (Dan’s idea, not mine ). My amazing friends surprised me with a Napa trip for my birthday. Professionally, I was Chairwoman of the Department of Anesthesiology at Vista Medical Center East, running the entire group schedule… and somehow actually enjoying it. Practicing aesthetic medicine on a mass scale? Not even on my radar yet — though I definitely already loved doing it. Dan was deep in Supreme Leader training.

And since we’re clearly achievers and over-sharers… here’s a little throwback to 2006 too. Back then, I was standing up in a million weddings, a second-year resident, and I truly don’t remember anything because… residency.

Life has evolved. The kids grew. The career path shifted. The dreams got bigger. And somehow, everything led exactly where it was supposed to.
Cheers to growth, glow-ups, and the beautiful chaos in between

Peptides have become an increasingly discussed tool in the landscape of internal wellness, particularly in support of metabolic health and weight management. These small chains of amino acids play an important role in cellular communication and can influence various physiologic processes. When used appropriately, they may complement a comprehensive health plan designed to support metabolic function, lean body composition, and overall wellbeing.

However, it’s crucial to understand that peptides are not a standalone solution — and they are not a substitute for personalized medical care. Their effectiveness and safety depend on tailored assessment, appropriate dosing, and ongoing clinical monitoring.

Medical Weight Management Should Be Medical First. In today’s wellness space, it’s easier than ever to find programs that promise rapid results with minimal oversight. Some online options may provide access to medications or peptides without meaningful clinical evaluation or follow-up. This approach can compromise safety and efficacy, especially for individuals with complex health histories, hormone imbalances, or cardiometabolic risk factors.

A physician-led program ensures:
• A thorough medical assessment
• Individualized planning that considers your unique physiology
• Ongoing monitoring of progress and safety markers
• Adjustments based on response, goals, and tolerance

If you are exploring metabolic wellness, weight support, or peptide-related therapies, trust a program built on medical expertise, individualized care, and measurable outcomes. Dr. Julia Milman Aesthetics & Wellness is here to guide you safely and effectively on your journey to optimal health.

Facial balancing is not about changing features — it’s about optimizing proportion.

In this before-and-after, treatment was focused on the chin and nose to improve side-profile harmony. By adding subtle projection to the chin, we can enhance lower-face support and create a more balanced relationship between the chin, lips, and nasal profile.

When the chin lacks projection, the nose can appear more prominent and the lips less supported — even if they’re naturally full. Strategic filler placement in the chin helps anchor the profile, allowing the lips and nose to sit in better proportion without over-treating either area.

Every facial balancing treatment begins with a comprehensive medical assessment, evaluating skeletal structure, soft tissue support, and dynamic movement. Small, precise adjustments can create significant improvement in overall facial harmony.

This is aesthetic medicine practiced with anatomy, restraint, and intention. Results shown reflect individualized treatment planning. Facial balancing always prioritizes natural structure and long-term balance over trends.

One thing I always emphasize with masseter toxin treatments is that anatomy is not one-size-fits-all.

Some patients have an anatomic variation — including a distinct ligament or muscle band within the masseter — that cannot be visualized prior to treatment. Because of this, initial dosing is performed to safely and effectively treat the most common anatomical pattern.

In certain cases, this variation can present as a small, temporary bulge or uneven movement when clenching after treatment.
The important part: This is not a complication — it’s a known, manageable anatomical response.

As shown in the reel above, I assessed Katie’s muscle movement, identified the source of the unwanted bulge, and corrected it with a precise, minimal adjustment. With a small amount of additional toxin, the muscle now relaxes evenly and the bulge is no longer noticeable when clenching.

This is why masseter treatments should always be approached with a medical assessment, individualized dosing, and appropriate follow-up — not a one-size-fits-all approach. Aesthetic medicine is still medicine, and expert evaluation makes all the difference.

At Dr. Julia Milman Aesthetics, we believe true wellness goes far beyond the number on the scale.

That’s why we’ve added advanced body composition analysis with SECA to better support your health, weight loss, and wellness goals. This technology allows us to look deeper — measuring fat mass, muscle mass, and overall body composition, not just weight.

Maintaining muscle is essential during any weight loss journey. Muscle supports metabolism, strength, energy, and long-term results. When muscle is lost, progress can stall and overall wellness can suffer. With SECA, we can accurately track changes over time and ensure your plan is helping you lose fat while preserving muscle.

This data-driven approach allows us to create personalized, medically guided treatment plans and make informed adjustments along the way — so your results are sustainable, not temporary.

It’s not just weight loss.
It’s informed, intentional wellness.
Ask our team about body composition analysis at your next visit.

“I’m not an injector.
I’m a physician practicing aesthetic medicine.

Before a syringe ever touches your skin, I assess.
I diagnose.

I consider anatomy, balance, function, and long-term outcomes.
Every face tells a medical story—and my job is to listen to it.
Aesthetic medicine isn’t about chasing trends or overfilling.
It’s about thoughtful evaluation, individualized treatment plans, and practicing medicine with intention, precision, and care.

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
This is medical expertise, artistry, and responsibility—working together.

I don’t just inject.
I practice medicine.
