A common question I hear from patients is how much fat can be removed during liposuction. And honestly, the answer might not be what you expect.

Liposuction isn’t about removing as much fat as possible. It’s about strategic removal to shape and contour the body safely.

There are limits to how much fat can be removed at one time, and those guidelines are in place to protect your health and ensure a smooth recovery. 👍

We’ve loved settling into our new space in Tiburon!

Every detail of this office was designed with our patients in mind to create a calm, welcoming environment that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in.

It’s been exciting to bring our work to such a beautiful area, and we’re grateful to continue caring for both new and familiar faces here.

Traveling for surgery is a big decision, and it means even more when a patient chooses to come from out of state. Creating a space where patients feel comfortable, informed, and truly cared for is always the priority.

We’re so grateful she trusted us with her care. It’s something we never take lightly!

A facelift can reposition and lift, but volume loss is a big part of facial aging, too. That’s where fat grafting makes a difference.

For this patient, we combined a facelift with fat transfer to restore lost volume in key areas of the face. This helps soften hollows, improve contours, and create a more natural, well-rested appearance overall.

It’s not just about lifting... It’s about bringing back balance. When done together, these procedures can create a more complete and long-lasting rejuvenation.

Both procedures address the eye area, but they treat different concerns. A brow lift repositions the brows when they’ve started to droop, while a blepharoplasty removes excess skin or fat from the upper or lower eyelids.

In many cases, it’s not one or the other. It can be a combination of both to create a more balanced, natural result.

If you’ve been wondering which option makes the most sense for you, give my office a call to schedule a consultation: 415-727-9666

A necklift can really transform a profile— but the approach is a little different for men than it is for women.

For this patient, we tightened loose skin, smoothed the jawline, and created a sharper, more defined neck. With male patients, I focus on keeping that strong, masculine jawline and avoiding anything that looks too soft or overdone, while still giving a natural, refreshed result.

Healthy, glowing skin isn’t just about one treatment— it’s about consistency. That’s why we recommend getting Hydrafacials on a monthly basis!

Each session cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates your skin, giving it an immediate boost. When done monthly, it keeps pores clear, improves texture, supports collagen, and maintains that fresh, radiant glow all year long. ✨

Choosing your plastic surgeon is a big decision, and it’s about more than just scrolling through before-and-after photos.

You deserve someone who puts your safety first, explains everything clearly, answers your questions honestly, and makes you feel completely confident throughout your entire surgical journey.

Think of dermaplaning as spring cleaning for your skin. 🧼

Over time, dead skin cells and fine vellus hair build up on the surface, leaving your complexion looking dull and uneven. Dermaplaning gently exfoliates that top layer, instantly revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.

It also helps your skincare products absorb better and allows makeup to go on more evenly. No downtime, no harsh treatments— just a fresh reset for your skin.
