I am delighted to share this patient’s early progress photos following facial rejuvenation surgery.

As an active 55 year-old business lady, she came to see me because she felt her neck and jawline were becoming heavy causing her to look more tired than she felt.

She had never had fillers or any previous facial surgery. Her goal was simple — to restore a clean jawline and neck contour while still looking completely natural.

She underwent a deep neck reduction combined with an extended deep plane facelift. I used a skin preservation technique to reduce bruising.

Working in the deep plane allows the SMAS and platysma to be repositioned together, restoring structural support to the face and neck. This creates a natural glide of the tissues and avoids an over-pulled look.

At just two months after surgery, her jawline and neck definition are already much improved. Also - notice how the skin folds and wrinkles in the neck have largely been eliminated by suspending the deep tissues (not skin removal).

Thank you for allowing me to share 🙏🙏🤩

It was great to attend the NWSP Annual Meeting in Snowbird, Utah last week.

A particular pleasure to spend time with Chris Taylor and Nancy Van Laeken, both outstanding surgeons and mentors from my time as a consultant in Victoria, British Columbia 🇨🇦. Their influence and guidance played an important role in shaping my early consultant practice, and it was wonderful to reconnect.

Meetings like this are invaluable for exchanging ideas, refining technique, and continuing to evolve in a specialty defined by precision and innovation.

I also enjoyed the opportunity to explore some extraordinary landscapes — a reminder of the importance of perspective, balance, and lifelong learning.

Last week, I had the privilege of visiting Dr Ben Talei in Beverly Hills.

Widely recognised for his contemporary approach to facial rejuvenation, he has built an international reputation for innovation and meticulous technique.

He was extremely generous with his time, openly discussing his philosophy, surgical refinements and concepts — including his famous mastoid crevasse technique for neck contouring and other nuances that create natural, durable outcomes.

Time spent observing respected colleagues is always valuable. It sharpens perspective, challenges assumptions and ultimately benefits our patients. It was great to meet surgeons from Chile, Mexico and Brazil too!

Thank you for the warm welcome and fantastic learning opportunity.

Revision rhinoplasty | 2 months post-op

34-year-old patient presenting after primary rhinoplasty performed over 10 years ago.
Her concerns included a droopy nasal tip, deviation, and polybeak deformity, caused by loss of structural support and septal deviation.

Surgery performed:

• Revision rhinoplasty with full structural reconstruction
• Rib graft used to restore long-term support
• Tip support and definition rebuilt
• Septal correction to improve both shape and breathing

At just 2 months post-op, she is delighted with a softer, more feminine, and natural result, with a stable profile and improved nasal airflow.

Revision rhinoplasty is complex — success depends on restoring structure, not simply reshaping skin.

Early result shown. Healing and refinement continue.

I am fortunate to be able to share a slice of Laurie’s nose journey! She underwent an ultrasonic rhinoplasty 2 months ago.

Laurie’s main concern was a dorsal bump and a desire for a softer, more feminine and balanced profile, while preserving her natural character. As is often the case, sh had tried filler previously but found that it didn’t quite hit all her goals.

Using ultrasonic piezo techniques, precise reshaping of the nasal bones and dorsum was performed, allowing controlled refinement without destabilising support.

The aim: subtle change, improved harmony, and a result that looks entirely natural and recognisable.

Early result at 2 months. Thank you for allowing me to share 🤩🙏

Such a privilege to be part of The Editor’s List Live and to be featured in the Little Black Book as a facelift specialist. Thank you for an inspiring event and the lovely invitation!

My approach to face and neck lift surgery is simple: to create meaningful change while keeping results completely natural.

Patients should look fresher, more confident — and still entirely recognisable as themselves.

Subtlety, proportion and longevity matter more than trends.

Delighted to share an early result following combined deep plane face and neck lift.

Structural repositioning of the midface, jawline and neck was undertaken to restore contour and support, rather than simply tightening skin.

The aim: meaningful rejuvenation with natural, recognisable features.

Outcome at 2 months. Thank you to my patient for allowing me to share. 🙏

Immediate on-table comparison following piezo rhinoplasty.

Notice how changes to the tip are also crucial in determining the side profile - shape and position!

What’s visible here reflects structural change only — swelling and tissue settling continue for many months.

My focus is precision, balance, and outcomes that remain natural long term.

02/01/2026

I am delighted to share this patient’s journey -
following rhinoplasty involving total reconstruction with rib graft.

These cases are inherently more complex and require careful judgement, experience and restraint. The aim is not to create a “new” nose, but to restore balance, function and natural proportion while respecting what remains.

Refinement, long-term stability, and a result that feels right for the patient is key.

Revision cases are always more challenging than anticipated. Choosing when to offer surgery is key - not everyone or every situation is appropriate.

Thank you for sharing 🤩🙏
