Working on the practice from outside the practice. 🔭

Day one at YellowTelescope in Mexico with my team—stepping away from our daily routines to focus on how we can make the patient experience even better.

Fresh perspectives, good conversations, and plenty of notes. The scenery doesn’t hurt either. 🌴

Took my sister out for lunch. 😉

Okay, it’s my mom—one month after surgery. Love you, Mom. ❤️

“Will I look pulled after a facelift?”

It’s one of the most common concerns I hear. Obvious results tend to get our attention, while natural results can go unnoticed.

My goal is to help you look refreshed while preserving what makes you look like you.

A refreshed look, without looking like someone else. ✨

This lovely patient in her 70s has always had a relatively full neck, something that became more noticeable over the years.

Her goal was simple: to look refreshed and rejuvenated while still looking like herself.

She’s pictured here just shy of one month after surgery, and we’re already seeing a beautiful improvement in her facial contours and jawline.

Her procedures included:
• Temporal brow lift
• Deep plane face and neck lift
• Chin implant
• Buccal fat reduction
• Fractionated CO₂ laser resurfacing around the eyes and mouth

A word about chin implants: Many patients are hesitant about them, worrying that they’ll look unnatural or change their appearance too much. But when properly sized and positioned, a chin implant can provide subtle structural support that makes a significant difference in the balance of the face and definition of the jawline.

She’s still early in her recovery, with residual swelling and fullness that will continue to improve over the coming months.

A special thank you to this wonderful patient for trusting us with her care and allowing us to share her journey!

Why is a crooked nose so difficult to straighten? Because the face around it may be asymmetric, too.

Think of the nose as a dining table and the face as the room. If the walls are uneven—and the table itself is curved, with sides of different lengths—straightening it becomes more complicated.

Straight relative to what? The eyes? The cheeks? The upper lip? Those reference points don’t always line up.

That’s why correcting a crooked nose requires looking at the entire face. We work to straighten and reshape the nose while finding the alignment that creates the best overall balance.

Rhinoplasty can make a meaningful improvement, but it cannot make every underlying structure perfectly symmetric. Some asymmetry may remain, even after a carefully performed surgery.

The goal is a straighter, more balanced nose that fits naturally with the rest of your face.

A refined nose. Still unmistakably him.

Three months after rhinoplasty, this patient is already enjoying a more balanced, refined nose while maintaining the strong, masculine features that make him who he is.

Our goal wasn’t to make his nose small or dramatically change his appearance. It was to improve its proportions while preserving a natural look.

In addition to refining the nasal bridge and tip, we performed an alar base and sill reduction to narrow the width of the nostrils and create better harmony with the rest of his nose.

At just three months, there is still swelling, particularly around the tip. His results will continue to evolve and refine over the coming months.

Sometimes, the hardest part of facial rejuvenation isn’t the surgery. It’s giving yourself permission to do something for YOU.

This lovely lady in her 70s is genuinely one of the sweetest people I know.

She’s spent much of her life putting her family and community first. She’s active, full of life, and has so much more she wants to experience. But when she looked in the mirror, she felt that her appearance no longer reflected how she felt inside.

For someone who has always prioritized everyone else’s needs, even considering facial rejuvenation came with feelings of guilt and shame. Choosing to do something for herself wasn’t easy.

Today, she’s 3 months out from an endoscopic brow lift, deep plane facelift, and fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing.

Healing takes time. As her tissues have settled, we’re seeing a more rested, refreshed version of the same beautiful woman.

I also think her results illustrate something important: facial rejuvenation can produce significant improvements, but surgery cannot completely reverse decades of changes in skin quality, elasticity, and aging. And that’s okay!

The goal was never to erase her age or make her look like someone else. It was to help her look as vibrant as she feels.

Seeing her regain her confidence and return to the things that bring her joy has been incredibly rewarding. I’m so glad she decided that, after all these years of caring for others, she deserved a little care herself.

Thank you for trusting me with your journey and for graciously allowing us to share your results. It’s truly been a privilege. ❤️

Being my mom’s surgeon was one thing. Helping her through recovery at home gave me a whole new perspective. ❤️

After her brow lift and deep plane face and neck lift, my mom spent her first week recovering with me. Here’s what stood out:

• Swelling can be significant—even when everything is healing as expected.
• Food choices matter. We noticed more swelling after salty meals and focused on protein-rich, easy-to-eat foods.
• Slowing down is hard. Yes, I caught her handling pots and pans when she was supposed to be resting. 😂

We spend so much time planning surgery, but recovery deserves just as much preparation: meals, help at home, and ways to stay occupied while taking it easy.

Most of all, this experience deepened my empathy for what my patients go through. Healing takes time, and everyone’s recovery is different.

Thank you, Mom, for trusting me and letting us share your journey. ❤️

The best rhinoplasty results don’t scream “nose job.” They simply look like they belong.

6 months after primary rhinoplasty!

The goal of rhinoplasty isn’t necessarily to create a smaller nose. It’s to create a nose that looks balanced, natural, and harmonious with the rest of the face.

For this patient, we softened the dorsal hump, refined and subtly elevated the nasal tip, and created a smoother, more elegant profile while preserving her natural features.

What I particularly love about her result is how her nose complements her face from every angle without looking overly sculpted or operated on.

At just 6 months, she’s healing beautifully, with continued refinement expected as the remaining swelling gradually resolves.

A special thank you to this lovely patient for trusting me with her surgery and allowing us to share her results! ❤️
