✨ Before & After Transformation ✨
This beautiful patient underwent upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty combined with laser skin resurfacing to smooth and tighten the delicate skin around her eyes. The result? A naturally refreshed look — brighter, rested, and rejuvenated, without changing her unique features.
She’s thrilled with her results — and so are we! 💫
Subtle, precise surgery and advanced laser techniques can make a world of difference when it comes to restoring youthfulness and confidence around the eyes.
👁️‍🗨️ Natural. Refreshed. Confident.

✨ Why I Didn’t Join the Party and I Don’t Do PDGF Injections in the Eyelids ✨
Lately, there’s been a lot of buzz about “PDGF” injections for the eyelids — but here’s the truth 👇
PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) is being explored for skin regeneration, but it’s not FDA-approved or well-studied for use around the eyes. The eyelid area is delicate, and injecting unproven substances there can lead to complications described in the video🎞️.
As a surgeon, my first priority is always safety and evidence-based care. Until we have solid research and clear guidelines, PDGF injections in the eyelids just aren’t worth the risk.
Healthy skepticism is part of good medicine 💉👁️✨
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is predictable and effective, and has stood the test of time.
Always ask what’s proven, not just what’s trending. Also, ask your injector for their qualifications and how long they have been doing the treatment they are recommending.

👀 Thinking about “PDGF injections” for your eyelids?
You might have seen posts claiming PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) can rejuvenate or heal eyelid skin — but here’s the truth: there’s no FDA approval for injecting PDGF into the eyelids (or skin) at this time.
While PDGF is a natural part of your body’s healing process, injecting it isn’t without risks - some of these are discussed in the video above. Because the eyelids are such delicate structures, even small issues can cause big problems.
Before trying any regenerative or “growth factor” treatment, make sure it’s proven, FDA-cleared, and performed by a qualified injector.
Your eyes deserve the safest care possible. 💙

We had a special visitor in the OR yesterday! 👩‍⚕️✨
Amazing aesthetician Marjorie joined us to watch surgery and get a behind-the-scenes look at how the procedures she helps patients prepare actually happen. She got an up close look at upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery, an endoscopic brow lift, ptosis repair, fat transfer, and laser skin resurfacing.
It’s always great when an aesthetic provider and our surgical team connect — it makes the entire patient experience that much smoother (and more beautiful 😉).
Thanks for coming by, Marjorie! You might be ready to scrub in next time 😄🔪💉

🏒❄️ Hockey, Mountains, and Memories! ❄️🏒
What a weekend! Our team headed to Aspen for an unforgettable hockey tournament — full of great games, team bonding, and plenty of laughs off the ice. Between the mountain views, family dinners, and cheering each other on, it was the perfect mix of competition and fun.
Huge thanks to all the players, families, and coaches who made it such a great experience. These are the moments that make hockey so much more than a game. ❤️🥅

🏒 HEART. GRIT. COURAGE. 🏒

What a ride as a coach! We came out swinging last weekend — 4 straight wins, pure dominance, pure heart. 💪🔥

In the championship, we battled through every period, every shift, every puck drop. And even though the final ended in an overtime heartbreak, the toughness, resilience, and courage this team showed was nothing short of inspiring. 💔⏱️

They left everything on the ice — no regrets, no quit. This run was about more than just wins — it was about pride, unity, and playing for each other.

Hold your heads high, boys. Im so proud to be one of your coaches! 👊🏽💙

👀 Before vs. After… what a difference!
Her eyes were once weighed down by heavy lids. After upper and lower eyelid surgery, she sees the world more clearly — and the world sees her more clearly too. ✨

With her eyes more open, she not only has better vision, but she feels refreshed, youthful, and full of confidence again. 💫

It’s not just about how you look — it’s about how you feel when you look in the mirror.

Teamwork + learning = the best kind of work trip! ✈️🌴 Our crew had an amazing time at the Yellow Telescope Seminar in Boca Raton this week, gaining new insights, connecting with colleagues, and (of course) enjoying a little sunshine together. Grateful for a team that’s always excited to learn and grow—both inside and outside the OR! 💙👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

✨ Goodbye to fillers, hello to lasting results! ✨
This beautiful patient was tired of the cycle of under-eye filler. Instead, we created a more natural, long-term solution with lower lid surgery (blepharoplasty), fat repositioning/injection, and laser resurfacing.
The result? A refreshed, smoother, and brighter look — without the constant touch-ups of filler.

💫 No more shadows.
💫 No more filler fatigue.
💫 Just timeless, natural rejuvenation.
💫 Results that look natural, youthful, and most importantly — like her.

Sometimes the best choice is stepping away from quick fixes and choosing something that gives freedom and long-term confidence. 💕

Surgeon show and tell!
I had such a special experience yesterday—watching another surgeon in the operating room and learning from the way he works. 🙌 No matter how long you’ve been in practice, there’s always something new to pick up: a little technique, a new perspective, or even just a reminder of why we love what we do.
Grateful for Dr Manish Shah and Dr Ariel Johnson, who were generous with their time and knowledge—it makes me a better surgeon😷, and most importantly, it helps me take even better care of my patients. 💙
