Last Friday, I was honored to be an invited speaker at the Elevate Conference hosted by my friend and colleague and held at in their beautiful education center in Oregon wine country. I spoke about the power of the lip lift and how we can collaborate with our dental colleagues who do incredible things with teeth.

I know this firsthand—the good doctor has worked wonders on my own smile and on many of the beautiful people throughout the greater Portland area. Check out her page and … you’ll probably recognize a face or two!

I love the spirit of collaboration, and it was refreshing to speak to a different audience. I’m in awe of what they can do, and they were equally fascinated by what’s possible surgically. In the end, it’s all about teamwork. And you know what they say…teamwork makes the lips (and teeth) look better. 👄 🦷 💕

Whoa! Two posts in one day? Must have been a full moon or something. 🌝
This beautiful patient in her 20s had wanted to change the shape of her nose since she was 11 years old! She didn’t like the overall size, asymmetry, and how her bridge and tip gave an overall downward appearance.
She wasn’t looking for a “Barbie” nose—just one that was smaller, straighter, and more symmetric.
She found me on Instagram and did her fair share of “stalking” the page to see our results, and she’s kind enough to pay it forward for other stalkers out there who want to see high-quality, natural rhinoplasty results.
She’s pictured 4 months after her surgery, and I just love how this shape complements her face. If you know someone considering a change, feel free to share this post with them. 👃✨

This beautiful patient came to see my in consultation seeking a change to the shape of her lips and her nose. In some patients, we can do them simultaneously, but there are two conditions when we like to stage them (do them at different times):

1. When the nose surgery is a revision surgery
2. When the rhinoplasty will likely involve alar base reduction or a reduction in the size and shape of the nostrils

The first reason is because previous nasal surgery incisions and lip lift incisions are close to each other there is a risk of poor healing due to diminished blood supply in the area. It’s not something you see when the nose is “virgin.”

The second reason is the reason why we did the lip first. She disliked the width and flare of her nostrils and changing this would required us to excise and then repair the nostrils in a way that is counter to the direction of where we repair the lip. It’s all crowded real estate in there.

So in her case, we took advantage of the relative width of her nose so that we could have a wider lift to the lips. Under local anesthesia and oral sedation, we took off a maximal vertical length of 4.5mm from a 17mm pre-procedure lip length. You can already see her increased tooth show and just overall better, more youthful proportions. She is now ONLY 5 weeks out from her procedure. Maybe it’s a little unfair to post this since she’s a fast healer, but there is certainly a range and she is at the fast end of the spectrum.

Next up will be her rhinoplasty. At the very minimum I would usually wait about 6 weeks. No rhyme or reason, but I would just want it to heal more before doing the nose. I’m super excited to finish the job! Stay tuned for updates…

What sorcery is this? Congratulations and for making the perfect snack. Today is launch day of the and we had to get some for the office. It was delicious of course! 🌮 🍦
I feel like I have been there on many of the major Salt and Straw milestones: first day of their first brick and mortar on Alberta, book signing (bought 5 books), multiple openings (I love free ice cream), and now this. I have also been to Taco Bell too many times to count late at night for Crunchwrap Supremes. I took many “runs to the border” and even remember enjoying every item of the 59, 79, 99 menu (that’s in cents because I’m old). 👴🏻
In any case, I think it’s only fitting that they sponsor me because my body is already built by their products. In the meantime, enjoy this unboxing / ASMR / Mukbang video and have a nice weekend. ✌🏻

This beautiful patient in her late 50s came to see me ahead of a big milestone birthday. She was bothered by the progressive laxity of her face, neck, and jawline, and wanted to do something about it. Together, we decided on a deep plane face and necklift combined with lower eyelid surgery.
A lot of focus is on the improvements to her neck and jawline, but take a look at the frontal view as well. The central neck skin and lines are now so much smoother. The preservation style or limited delamination refinements to the technique make results like this possible in a way that was not achievable in the past.
Although she prefers to keep her eyelid results private, she graciously allowed us to share her early lower face and neck transformation. I am grateful to her and to all of my patients for letting us share their journeys.
She is thrilled with her outcome, and so are we. Here she is just 2 months after surgery, with even more improvement to come as her healing continues.

This beautiful local patient had been hoping to reshape her nose for as long as she could remember. This Spring, she finally took the plunge and came in for a consultation to discuss her goals.
She wished for a smoother profile with her bump softened into a gentle curve, along with more tip rotation and refinement—all while keeping the result natural.
Her anatomy presented a challenge: very thin skin, which makes the underlying cartilage and bone more visible. Notice the subtle dips between the right and left side of the tip. With thin skin, the goal is to build a supportive structure that provides just the right amount of definition—enough to be elegant, but not harsh.
Here she is, just 4 months after surgery, loving her new nose. I’m thrilled we were able to deliver such a refined and natural result for her.
If you know someone considering a change, feel free to share this post with them. 👃✨

Happy Surgical Technologist week to all those techs out there surviving and thriving while they work with surgeons who tell the same bad jokes over and over again. Most of all, happy tech week to our very own who is the best ever and is not allowed to work anywhere else but here for the rest of my career! ❤️

This lovely woman in her mid-50’s was seeking a little facial rejuvenation. She had seen three other surgeons in the area, but for various reasons did not move forward. That is until she came to see us. She felt comfortable and at ease with the information presented to her and never looked back.
She already had this youthful quality to her and we just unlocked a bit more. She is just shy of four months out from her comprehensive deep plane face and neck lift. She looks amazing and natural and will be featured on our forthcoming website refresh. Stay tuned so you can see more of her beautiful face!

This adorable local teen came to us wanting to reshape her nose!
She hoped to reduce her bump, create a softer profile with a little curve and tip upturn, and improve symmetry and refinement from the front view. Summer is a popular time for teens and young adults to have surgery—it’s a natural break between big life transitions like graduating or starting a new job, and the perfect time to recover.
Here she is just 5 weeks after her rhinoplasty—refined, straight, and so cute! We’re both thrilled with her beautiful early result.
👃 Thinking about making a change? Share this with friends and family who might be considering it!

Another team birthday! We celebrated Kari’s big birthday a little early with some cake and champagne (naturally!). She is another one of our excellent patient care coordinators who helps patients on their surgical journeys from the first meeting to the last postop and everywhere in between.
We are so fortunate to have her on board and look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with . Have the happiest “29 plus infinity” birthday as well!
