“I wasn’t trying to look different. I just wanted to look the way I feel.”

Three months ago, this incredible patient trusted Dr. Vanek with facial rejuvenation to better match how young and healthy he feels on the inside.

At 74 years old, a runner, a cancer survivor, and full of life, his goal wasn’t vanity—it was alignment.
Not changing who he is.
Not hiding his age.
Just looking closer to the vitality he already lives every day.

Now, when people hear his age, the response is simple:
“No way.”

And while he didn’t need the reinforcement… he admits—it’s pretty fun. 😉

This is what thoughtful, natural facial rejuvenation is really about:
✨ Looking like yourself
✨ Feeling confident in the mirror
✨ Honoring the life you’ve lived while reflecting how you feel today

Artistry that changes lives.

Snow days don’t stop patient care. ❄️🩺

Dr. Vanek was out early shoveling the walk so our patients could safely get to their appointments today. It’s not just about results in the operating room, it’s about showing up, taking care of people, and doing the right thing even when it’s cold outside.

Artistry that changes lives starts with care at every step.

✨ Thinking about breast augmentation? Here’s a secret most people don’t hear. ✨

Not every breast needs just an implant.
If there’s droopiness from weight changes, pregnancy, or breastfeeding, support matters.

This patient had a one-stage breast enhancement with:
✔️ Internal lift (Level III muscle release)
✔️ Reinforcement with acellular dermal matrix (Strattice inlay)
✔️ A small incision
✔️ Natural positioning—without an incision around the ni**le

The result?
Her breasts are supported on the chest, lifted from the inside, and still look beautiful one year later.

👉 The real secret sauce: reinforcement + internal lifting.
Not everyone offers this advanced approach—but it can make all the difference.

If you’re exploring breast enhancement and want state-of-the-art techniques, schedule a consultation and ask about Level III muscle release with Strattice inlay.

❄️ Winter outside, smooth confidence inside ❄️

Cold temps = the perfect time for Botox. Less sun exposure, easy recovery, and results that look refreshed—not frozen.

One year later. Timeless. Refined.

Seen here is her 1-year postoperative result at age 64 following a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that included:

• Endoscopic brow lift
• Lower lid blepharoplasty
• Canthopexy
• SMAS facelift
• Neck lift with corset platysmaplasty
• Autologous fat grafting
• Skin refinement with **Sciton** laser technology

The goal was never to change her—only to restore balance, soften contours, and create a natural, elegant result that stands the test of time. One year out, her results are harmonious, refreshed, and beautifully authentic.

Artistry that honors who you are.

One day post–lower lid blepharoplasty ✨

“There’s no cream that fixes this.”
And she’s right.

Tired under-eye bags aren’t a skincare issue—they’re a structural one. Just one day after lower lid blepharoplasty, the heaviness that made her feel drained in photos and mirrors is already on its way out.

💬 “It didn’t represent my energy or who I am.”
After a thoughtful consult and a smooth procedure, she’s feeling excited, comfortable, and pain-free—and yes, it looks worse than it feels (as it always does at day one).

Next steps: gentle bruise laser, suture removal in a few days, and steady healing toward a refreshed, well-rested look that actually matches how she feels.

This is what precision surgery + a clear plan looks like.

👉 the fat you don’t want
can be transferred to the places you do 😳✨

Yes — it’s your own fat.
Yes — it can restore volume, contour, and balance.
And yes — it’s one of the most natural tools we have in aesthetic surgery.

Borrow smart. Restore beautifully.

✨ Borrowing where you don’t want it. Restoring where you do. ✨

Here’s a beautiful example of autologous fat grafting to the face—using your own fat to restore vibrancy, softness, and youthful contour. In this case, we gently borrowed fat from the arms while also treating them with VASER UAL, brachioplasty, and for tightening and sculpting.

➡️ Arms: After weight loss, excess tissue can feel heavy and unwieldy. With the right approach, those arms transform into smooth, elegant contours—scars fade beautifully over time and are further refined with laser treatments at months 2, 3, and 4.
➡️ Face: That same fat is thoughtfully placed to restore glow, volume, and vitality—no fillers, just you.

It doesn’t matter where we start—what matters is a comprehensive plan that creates harmony head to toe. A happy patient and a very good day in the OR. Talk to you soon.

12 days. Real results. Happy neck. ✨

Just 12 days after UAL ultrasonic energy to gently remove the fat pad under the chin—followed by helium plasma for skin tightening—this patient is already seeing a smoother, more defined neckline.

Her words say it best 👇
“I’m really impressed with the progress so far. The pouch under my chin and skin laxity really bothered me—and now I’m so happy. Recovery wasn’t bad at all.”

A little tightness is normal at this stage, but the confidence? Already showing.
Precision technology + expert hands = results that speak early and beautifully.

Thinking about tightening, contouring, or refreshing your neck and jawline?

✨ Birthday celebrations done right ✨

We celebrated Kathryn’s birthday with a special moment at Mentor Plastic Surgery — a beautifully done earlobe piercing by Dr. Vanek. From her stunning new earrings to glowing, healthy skin, it was the perfect way to mark the day.

Of course, the conversation didn’t stop there… we also talked skincare, confidence, and what future cosmetic possibilities might look like when you’re ready.

Because sometimes, a birthday is the perfect excuse to do something just for you 💫
