My life vs. my priorities 🤣💉

11/19/2025

Male facial aesthetics are not a one path approach. Some men look best with a more rugged and textured expression while others benefit from a brighter and more refined look. Subtle changes in brow position, eyelid shape, cheek support and overall skin quality are what create these differences. These are details I work with every single day. 💉

At Rivkin Aesthetics we use neurotoxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, nonsurgical blepharoplasty techniques, laser resurfacing and skin tightening devices to adjust these features with precision. The goal is to elevate your natural structure while maintaining your identity. Nothing overly smooth. Nothing that takes away character. Just clean, tailored refinement.

If you are unsure which aesthetic direction fits your anatomy and goals a consultation will give you clarity. I create treatment plans that strengthen masculine features and help you look refreshed, confident and completely yourself.

Comment "TEMPLES" to learn more! 💉
Temple hollowing is one of the most overlooked signs of volume loss, yet it can have a major impact on overall facial balance. This patient came in with significant hollows through the temple region, which can happen for many reasons - rapid weight loss, a history of illness, high-intensity training, etc. When this area loses support, the face can appear tired, aged, and more angular than intended.

Using a precise amount of hyaluronic acid filler, we were able to restore the natural contour of her temples and bring back a healthy, lifted appearance. By rebuilding that structural support, the upper face looks softer, more harmonious, and better framed - without changing the integrity of her natural features.

Treatment is quick, customizable, and results are immediate with little to no downtime. When done correctly, temple filler doesn’t look “filled” - it simply puts back what time or circumstances took away.

I happened upon this post from and it really struck me. I agree. It’s the stress. After 56 years on this planet, I think that real connection (it’s hard to find and can be hard to keep over time) and understanding oneself (while being true to one’s own nature), is so important to our health. We spend too much time trying to “hack” our way to health and wellness, taking vitamins with no data behind them, resulting in nothing but the production of the world’s most expensive urine.
This is not the whole story, of course, you still have to get the mammogram and the colonoscopy and the PSA measure and limit harm (sun, booze, cigs, naughty substances, etc), but we need to invest the time and energy for self understanding and self care, as well as finding and nurturing actual connections (not people you think would be useful to your career). It’s not easy, but the benefit to lowering stress and, thereby, increasing health, are real.

Comment "NOSE” to learn more 👃💉

When this patient first came to me, her main concern was a droopy nasal tip that made her profile feel unbalanced. Instead of opting for surgery, we performed a non-surgical rhinoplasty using carefully placed dermal filler to refine her bridge, lift the tip, and create subtle, natural-looking symmetry.

What makes this case so special is the longevity. These results were captured three years after initial treatment and they’re still holding beautifully. While hyaluronic acid filler typically metabolizes over time, precise technique, correct product selection, and the patient’s own tissue response can allow results to last far longer than expected.

For many patients, non-surgical nose filler offers a transformative option: no downtime, no anesthesia, and no incisions. Just immediate enhancement and lasting refinement. Whether it’s lifting a droopy tip, smoothing a bump, or improving definition, the goal is always the same: a nose that looks natural, balanced, and uniquely you.

All jokes 😂💉 injectors- who can relate?!

We’re living through the most rapid era of aesthetic innovation yet - new devices, new claims, new “must-have” technologies appearing every few weeks. But as exciting as that is, it’s also created a dangerous illusion: that equipment alone can replace expertise.

Anyone can buy a device online now. But without deep anatomical understanding and experience, that same device can cause irreversible harm. The difference isn’t the platform; it’s the professional operating it.

I approach every technology through a medical lens: What’s the mechanism? What’s the risk profile? Who is truly qualified to use it? My mother used to say, “It’s so cheap, we can’t afford it,” and it applies perfectly here - in medicine, shortcuts always cost more.

Real progress in aesthetics isn’t about chasing every new gadget. It’s about mastering the fundamentals, respecting physiology, and applying innovation responsibly. That’s what keeps patients safe - and keeps our field moving forward.

Every week there’s a new “expert” on social media explaining why filler is dangerous, Botox is scary, or threads are the secret to eternal youth. The truth? Most of these claims are rooted in half-understood science, taken out of context, or driven by clickbait. 🤦🏻‍♂️

My approach has always been the opposite of trends: natural, evidence-based results tailored to each face. When filler is placed precisely and conservatively, it doesn’t make you sag, it restores structure. Botox doesn’t erase expression, it softens tension. The list goes on.

So if you’re tired of hearing “that TikTok surgeon said,” you’re not alone. To the injectors who keep doing it right: keep educating, keep creating balance, and don’t let the noise drown out the artistry. Real technique speaks louder than algorithms. 💉
