In honor of Hump Day, I wanted to share this lovely patient, who underwent a septoplasty and cosmetic rhinoplasty. She presented to my clinic with concerns about the wideness of her nose from the front and the hump from the profile view. We agreed on the plan for cosmetic rhinoplasty to address these concerns to include tip defining sutures and a hump reduction. She is now extremely pleased with the results. What do you think?

This is a lovely 88 (!) year old woman whose upper eyelid skin had gotten so redundant that it was impeding her vision. The obstruction was severe enough to merit insurance coverage in her right eye, but not enough for the left. She didn’t want to be walking around with asymmetric eyes, so she elected to have the left side corrected at the same time. She is now 4 months out from an upper blepharoplasty. She thrilled with the appearance and the function. Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Can’t believe my one on one time with this tremendous young surgeon has come to a close. I am so grateful to Dr. Nitika Tripathi for all she has done for me and my patients over the last four months. She breathes an enthusiasm and joy into each day that is contagious. This woman is destined to help many, many people. Incredible job, Dr. Tripathi!

Super fun birthday weekend with my one-of-a-kind Mama! I was briefly celebrating the dollar I won off of her on the golf course before she hustled me the next day for 50 bucks on the Pickleball court. Gotta love that spirit—Happy Birthday, Mom!

Very proud of Dr. Priyanka Tripuraneni, my fabulous resident, who did a great job presenting our research on how to maximize treatment for patients with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.
And, puppies? Best idea ever for a conference!

Honored to be able to speak with my colleagues at the American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery about what we can do to reduce the number of people who don’t fully recover from Bell’s Palsy.

Rhytidectomy, or “facelift”, is a blanket term for several different surgical techniques I perform for facial rejuvenation. When considering undergoing the knife in pursuit of facial rejuvenation, take a few moments to read through the following 12 “truths” you should know.

This patient is only 2 weeks out and already has a great result. He maintained his ethnic identity and masculine aesthetic and brought his face into a nice harmony. He and I are both thrilled!

Getting very excited for the 2025 American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) Foundation meeting. This year, the meeting will be held in Los Angeles from September 17 to 20, and I am already preparing my lecture for the 18th, "Can We Do Better for Bell's Palsy?"
