What no one tells you before a facelift…

It’s not just about looking younger. It’s about restoring confidence in a way that feels authentic to you.

Facelift surgery is highly individualized — and while results can be transformative, the goal is always refinement, not reinvention. Most patients are surprised by how natural their results look and how emotionally impactful the experience is.

We often discuss:

Scar placement: Incisions are discreetly hidden along the hairline or behind the ears and typically heal to be barely visible.

Emotional recovery: Many patients report a sense of reconnecting with how they felt years ago... more vibrant, rested, and confident.

Realistic expectations: A facelift doesn’t make you look like someone else. It reveals a more refined version of you.

If you’re considering facial rejuvenation and want to understand what’s truly possible, without the marketing noise, we’re here to have that conversation.

“Form, function, and facial balance.”

This patient came to us seeking subtle improvements to the nasal profile while maintaining her natural features. Her result? A nose that blends seamlessly with the rest of her face, no trace of “surgical” work, just elevated harmony.

“Let’s talk about how we begin a tummy tuck.”

The first step in an abdominoplasty is to carefully elevate the abdominal tissue and isolate the belly button from the surrounding skin. This is necessary so that we can remove excess lower abdominal skin while preserving the natural position of the umbilicus.

In most cases, I’ll also be tightening the underlying abdominal muscles at this stage. This creates a flatter, stronger core, and it’s especially helpful for patients who’ve experienced diastasis recti after pregnancy or major weight changes.

We take precision seriously in this early stage, setting the foundation for a smoother recovery and natural, balanced results.

The most powerful transformations often lie in the details.

This patient’s facial rejuvenation combined multiple small but strategic refinements—an upper blepharoplasty, endotine brow lift, and facial fat grafting, to create a look that’s not just refreshed, but harmonized.

Notice the subtle lift to the brows, the openness of the eyes, and the restored volume that softens and rebalances her features, all while preserving her natural beauty.

These results aren’t about changing how you look… they’re about helping you feel like you, just more vibrant.

✨ Natural, confident, elevated.

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty: What’s the Real Difference?

Let’s break it down:
That tiny incision at the base of the nose, about 5mm across the columella — is what defines an open rhinoplasty. It’s small, subtle, and with today’s advanced closure techniques and post-op skincare, it heals beautifully in nearly every case.

So why go open?

When we perform an open rhinoplasty, we’re able to directly visualize the nasal cartilages.. especially the tip — and make highly precise adjustments. It gives us far more control and minimizes the guesswork.

In contrast, closed rhinoplasty hides the incision inside the nostrils, but limits visibility, often requiring the cartilage to be pulled out, twisted, and then reinserted, which can distort results, especially when adjusting the nasal tip.

🔍 Our philosophy?
For patients seeking meaningful tip changes or correction of deformities, open rhinoplasty provides unmatched control, precision, and long-term outcomes.

This 59-year-old patient previously underwent bilateral breast augmentation 15 years ago through the transaxillary approach (incision placed in the underarm).

Over time, her implants shifted and her breast tissue changed, which can happen naturally or due to issues like capsular contracture, implant malposition, or asymmetry.

We’re now performing a corrective breast procedure to restore proper positioning, improve symmetry, and achieve a more balanced, natural look that aligns with her current anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Every correction case is unique, and it takes precision, experience, and a full understanding of both original and revision techniques to get it right.

Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we’re able to simulate the surgical plan before ever entering the operating room.

In this case, my patient is concerned with three key issues:
A crooked frontal view
A dorsal hump on profile
And tip position asymmetry

These images help us analyze and preview the changes we’ll make during rhinoplasty. More importantly, they guide our surgical strategy and ensure we’re aligned with the patient’s goals.

Rhinoplasty is about precision and planning, and with the right tools, we can deliver both.

“Refinement in every angle.”
This patient underwent rhinoplasty to address subtle dorsal fullness and enhance overall facial harmony. Every nose is unique, and our goal is always to create a result that looks balanced, natural, and true to the patient’s features.

Rhinoplasty is not just about reshaping; it's about restoring confidence and proportion without leaving signs that surgery ever happened. The result should speak for itself.

📍Performed at Kurkjian Plastic Surgery + Aesthetics
📆 Recovery timelines vary; most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days, with continued improvement over 6–12 months.

What does facelift recovery really look like?

Let’s walk through the healing journey of one of our patients who underwent a facelift and upper eyelid lift ✨

📍 Day 4 Post-Op:
Sutures still in place, mild swelling, and some yellow bruising around the cheeks — all expected and normal.

📍 1 Week Post-Op:
Swelling begins to settle, bruising is maturing, and she's already looking more refreshed.

📍 2 Weeks Post-Op:
Contours are noticeably improved. Most patients feel confident enough to go out without makeup or concern.

📍 3 Months Post-Op:
Fully healed, refined, and natural. There’s no sign of surgery, only a subtly rejuvenated appearance.

This is why our approach is always refined, not overdone, for results that age beautifully and blend seamlessly.

📌 What Is a Columellar Strut Graft?

This is one of the most commonly used grafts in rhinoplasty, placed between the nostrils to provide structure and support to the nasal tip.

But here’s the key:
In my practice, I don’t rely on it alone to hold up the tip. Instead, I use it to unify the tip, create symmetry, and build a foundation for a balanced result — especially in complex or revision cases.

Rhinoplasty isn’t just about structure — it’s about strategy. And every graft plays a role in how we sculpt long-lasting, natural-looking outcomes.

👃🏼 Thoughtful technique. Custom approach. Confident results.
