IPL + ResurFX = SMOOTH GLOW🤩✨

The Smooth Glow combines the IPL and ResurFX treatments to deliver radiant skin. IPL is a form of non-invasive light therapy that targets sun damage, rosacea, and broken capillaries to improve signs of aging. Light energy destroys the hyperactive melanin producing cells in the skin to remove pigmentation and spots.

ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates collagen production to treat skin texture, tone, and discoloration issues. This treatment also targets fine lines & wrinkles and acne scars while resurfacing the skin.

Combining these two treatments as the Smooth Glow delivers even skin tone, texture, and color for a youthful, vibrant appearance ⭐️✨

I’m honored to be a visiting professor at Cornell Columbia Medical this weekend!🤩

I will be speaking about deep plane facelifts under local AWAKE anesthesia, addressing the submandibular gland, the MIMS neck lift, and my signature LaMiNa facial rejuvenation treatment.

I will also be sharing the groundbreaking research that I just completed with my research fellow, Patricia Fuentes (.fuentes19). We conducted a clinical trial looking at the viability of fat with increased ischemia to the cells. I’m very excited to get this information published and I truly believe that it will be TRANSFORMATIONAL in the clinical world.

Thank you to for sponsoring this visiting professorship and to for having me!👏

The Silhouette Instalift is an amazing NON-SURGICAL technique for firm, full, high cheeks🤩

What is the Silhouette Instalift and how is it different from fillers? Fillers are hyaluronic acid that can be injected into the malar region to volumize the cheek area. The Silhouette Instalift is comprised of cones made of a biomedical polymer that dissolves over time. As they absorb, they activate the body’s natural collagen production to continue rejuvenating the appearance.

The needles on each end of the thread are inserted into the malar region in opposite directions. As the thread is pulled either way, the cones catch the tissue, which elevates and lifts the cheek as they are pushed back together. Multiple threads may be used on each side of the face. Unlike a procedure such as the endoscopic midface lift, this will NOT have permanent results.

There is an excellent paper by Dr. Melih Sifil and Dr. David Kahn published in analyzing facial skeletal aging through CT scans. These scans demonstrate how the zygomatic bone not only becomes weaker as we age, but is also rotating inferiorly. I highly recommend giving it a read🔥

The Silhouette Instalift is the perfect treatment for people who do not want to commit to an invasive surgery, or for those who are looking for a quick and easy way to rejuvenate their appearance🤩

What’s the difference between an endoscopic midface lift and a deep plane facelift?🤔

Candidates for the endoscopic approach have minimal skin laxity and are looking for a lift around the malar region. This technique makes an incision in the hairline, meaning it is hidden and essentially SCARLESS. Using a high definition scope, I’m able to visualize the midface to dissect the deep tissues and release the retaining ligaments. I then insert an endotine or sutures (or both) to lift the SMAS as a unit for a natural, rejuvenated result. Endotines are NOT plastic. They are made of a polyglycolic acid polymer and will dissolve several months after the procedure once the skin has re-adhered in its new lifted position.

If a patient has a significant amount of loose skin, they will be a better candidate for a deep plane facelift so I can remove the excess. The incisions for this technique are placed along the sideburns and around the ear. I also make an incision below the chin so I can gain access to the submandibular gland. I will dissect the tissues until I reach the SMAS, which I will then go underneath so I can find and release the retaining ligaments. Releasing these ligaments gives me the mobility to lift the SMAS. The deep plane technique is a very delicate procedure because this layer contains all the nerves for the muscles of animation in the face.

Once the SMAS is lifted and anchored, I can remove a significant amount of excess skin, which cannot be done with the minimally-invasive endoscopic approach. The deep plane facelift also allows me to address the submandibular gland, which is necessary for a contoured, sharp jawline in many patients.

Consultations are very important for deciding which technique is best for each patient. Anatomy plays a huge role in what procedure will produce the most ideal results👏

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP YEAR IN REVIEW🔥

I am very proud to share that my research fellow, Patricia Fuentes, is taking the next step in her career. We have had an INCREDIBLY productive year together, with FIVE publications, THREE prospective randomized control trials approved by IRB, and several other papers already submitted.

I met Patty three years ago when she was an extern with the ’s program for medical students whose schools do not have a home residency for plastic surgery. This program gives students the opportunity to experience what it would be like to be a rotating plastic surgery student by pairing each extern with a mentor.

As my research fellow, Patty has contributed to the following published papers:

In :
▪️Novel Minimally Invasive Mastoid Sling for a Non-surgical Neck Lift: A Combination of Liposuction, Thermal Energy, and Suture Suspension for Neck Rejuvenation
▪️Redefining Neck Rejuvenation: The Novel Hyoid-to-Mastoid Crevasse Neo-Ligament and OnderKaak Angle in Deep Plane Neck Lift
▪️Drainless Lipoabdominoplasty Using Progressive Tension sutures, Scarpa’s Fascia Preservation, and Minimal Cautery in 350 Consecutive Cases
▪️Recombinant Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB vs Autologous Nanofat to Enhance Recovery After CO2 Laser and Microneedling: A Split-Face Randomized Control Trial
▪️LaMiNa: A Creative Synergistic Approach to Facial Rejuvenation

In :
▪️Awake Rejuvenation With the Deep Plane Face Lift and Extended Deep Neck Contouring

I’m extremely proud of Patty and everything we’ve accomplished during our time together, and I know that she has an incredibly bright and successful future ahead of her. We will miss you!👏

What is the difference between prepectoral and retropectoral breast augmentations?🤔

Implants in a prepectoral augmentation are placed above the muscle but behind the fascia, while retropectoral augmentations have the implants placed behind the muscle.

About thirty years ago, saline was largely the only type of implant used. These implants are filled with sterile salt water, and can cause a “rippling” effect that is visible on the breast. To prevent this from happening, saline implants are commonly placed beneath the muscle (retropectorally). Retropectoral breast augmentations have a longer recovery than prepectoral and have the potential for animation deformities, which is movement of the breast as the muscle moves.

When silicone implants were approved by the FDA about 20 years ago, many surgeons began recommending the prepectoral approach since these implants behave very similarly to human breast tissue. Even when placed in front of the muscle, these implants do not create the rippling effect. Prepectoral operations have an easier recovery, no animation deformities, and can be performed under local AWAKE anesthesia.

I’m able to perform surgery under local anesthesia because I use tumescent fluid that expands the tissue and numbs the entire area. This fluid also contains epinephrine, which minimizes bleeding. My breast augmentation patients are typically able to walk themselves out of the OR immediately post-op🤯

It’s very important to discuss your goals and desires with your surgeon to ensure that you are getting the ideal outcome and best results for you👏

Answering your endoscopic midface lift FAQ’s!🤩

I have been getting a LOT of questions about the endoscopic midface lift. Here are some of the most frequently asked:

▪️Who is a good candidate?
Good candidates for the endoscopic approach have volume descent in the malar region, but DO NOT have a lot of excess skin. If sagging skin is a concern, an open deep plane facelift would be a better option.

▪️Does the endoscopic midface lift address the neck?
No. This technique targets the midface and the periocular region. To address the neck, an incision will need to be made behind the ear to lift and tighten the area, and to excise any excess skin.

▪️What are endotines?
Endotines are made of a polyglycolic acid polymer and will dissolve 6-9 months after the procedure, once the skin has re-adhered in its new position. Endotines are NOT plastic. They are used to lift the SMAS as a unit for a cohesive, natural result.

▪️Do you use endotines or sutures?
Endotines and sutures can be used alone or in combination with each other during endoscopic procedures. I use permanent sutures when doing a belt-and-suspenders operation.

▪️What’s the downtime?
I typically tell my patients that they should expect the first week to be recovery and that they will feel well enough to go into public after that. By about a month, they should be ready to go to a big event.

▪️How long do results last?
Results last upwards of 10 years. This is an excellent minimally-invasive procedure for facial rejuvenation and anti-aging.

I hope this clears up any confusion surrounding the endoscopic midface lift. What other questions do you have?🤔

What’s the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon?🤔

There’s a lot of confusion surrounding this topic because plastic surgeons often use the term “cosmetics” to describe what we are doing. The big difference between cosmetic and plastic surgeons is that plastic surgeons have been board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. To become board-certified, doctors must go through a rigorous training process where they are judged by their peers, reviewing their experience and clinical work, and they must pass the board exam.

Cosmetic surgeons are not board-certified in plastic surgery. Many cosmetic surgeons are doctors from other disciplines who offer in-office procedures. It is VERY IMPORTANT to ask your surgeon whether or not they have the privileges to perform an operation at a hospital. If they don’t have the clearance, chances are that they are NOT board-certified in plastic surgery.

Board certification verifies that a surgeon has completed comprehensive, accredited training and that they are qualified to safely operate in both a hospital and other surgical facilities. When considering a cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend doing your homework and asking your surgeon where they were trained, what their credentials are, and what board certification they have👏

What’s the difference between a SMAS plication and a deep plane facelift?🤔

Deep plane facelifts and SMAS plications are very different procedures. During a SMAS plication, the skin is dissected and lifted off of the face so that the SMAS is visible to be plicated. This is essentially a pinching of the SMAS using sutures to lift the tissue. After being plicated, the skin is draped back over the area and any excess is removed. There is no dissection or release of any ligaments beneath the SMAS in this procedure. I personally believe this to have some long-term detrimental impacts to the health of the skin since so much is delaminated during the operation.

During a deep plane facelift, I only dissect about 3cm anterior from the incisions for skin elevation. The rest of the dissection is done beneath the SMAS, so the skin and the SMAS are a composite flap. This means that the skin and the deeper tissues are still connected. This allows for a much healthier skin flap with less bruising because it’s maintaining the nerves and blood supply from the skin layer. It also provides an area for fat grafting to the face, which is not an option with SMAS plication.

I’m able to release the retaining ligaments while dissecting beneath the SMAS. This gives me tremendous mobility for elevation of the tissue. As for the neck, the SMAS and the platysma muscles are contiguous, so the neck is tightened as I lift the midface. This also gives me access to the submandibular gland. I firmly believe that the submandibular gland should be addressed during facelift procedures to achieve the highest-quality chiseled jawline possible🔥

The main differences between deep plane facelifts and SMAS plication are that SMAS plication delaminates the skin to a much greater extent than deep plane facelifts and does not release any of the retaining ligaments in the face. Deep plane facelifts also keep the SMAS and skin as a composite unit for much better viability and long-lasting, natural results.

It’s important to discuss your goals with your surgeon to find out what operation is best for you👏

This tummy is SNATCHED 4 months post-op🤩

My beautiful 51-year-old patient is 4 months out from her abdominoplasty and is looking incredible. She lost about 100 lbs over the span of a year and a half and was left with excess skin that she wanted removed. She also had a “shelf” from a c-section scar that would not go away despite her active lifestyle.

All of my tummy tucks are completely DRAINLESS. I use three layers of sutures during the procedure to ensure long-lasting results without the need for drains. Two of these layers are deep in the muscle and are permanent. These sutures bring together the re**us muscles, making this a VERY important step for a sculpted result. The uppermost layer is absorbable and helps the skin reconnect with the deeper tissues.

Drainless abdominoplasties result in a contoured, flat tummy. Shoutout to for the idea to pinch the fat on the belly. You can’t squeeze what isn’t there!🔥
