Her new confidence is showing up in more ways than one! ✨✨

This patient underwent a Primary External Level II Rhinoplasty, creating a beautifully balanced, refined nose that complements her natural features, but that wasn’t the only transformation we noticed.

During her recovery, she also completed Elixir MD Light Therapy treatments, and after just THREE sessions, her acne visibly began to clear. When we asked her about it, she confirmed it herself that her skin started improving almost immediately!

💡 Why Elixir MD Light Therapy?
- Supports surgical healing after procedures
- Reduces inflammation and redness
- Helps calm active acne and promotes clearer skin
- Enhances overall skin recovery and glow

For patients struggling with acne and undergoing surgery, this is a powerful reminder that healing can happen on multiple levels — confidence, skin, and self-image 💫

And here’s why! ⤵️

Not every request leads to the best result and as your surgeon, I want to protect YOU instead of chasing a procedure. Saying no means no shortcuts, no overdone results, no compromising facial harmony, and no procedures that won’t age well.

My philosophy is simple: long-term, natural, elegant results always come first. Sometimes the most powerful part of a consultation isn’t what we add, it’s what we don’t do.

3 Months. One Transformation. ✨

This patient is glowing after her Silicone Breast Augmentation with 560cc implants—and while her results look amazing now, healing is a journey. Here’s what to expect during the first 3 months after surgery with
Dr. Frew:

Weeks 1–2
• Breasts sit high and feel tight
• Swelling, pressure, and firmness are normal
• Upper fullness is more noticeable

Weeks 3–6
• Swelling begins to soften and settle
• Implants start to “drop” into a more natural position
• Breasts feel less firm and more comfortable

Weeks 6–12
• Shape becomes rounder and more natural
• Implants continue to settle and soften
• Final contours begin to reveal themselves

Every body heals differently, but patience is key—your results will continue to improve with time. This is why trusting the process (and your surgeon) matters.

Considering breast augmentation?
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Frew and let’s create results that feel confident, balanced, and beautifully you. 💫

Fun fact your diet can’t fix: 🧠✨
No amount of weight loss, clean eating, or cardio will make fat disappear around your eyes.

Why?
The fat around the eyes is structural, not lifestyle dependent. It doesn’t respond to dieting the way body fat does, which is why concerns like under-eye fullness or upper lid heaviness can only be addressed surgically.

The good news:
With the right surgical technique, Dr. Balikian carefully removes or repositions only the excess fat, while preserving the protective fat your eyes actually need. This is what keeps results natural, youthful, and safe —not hollow or overdone!

This is one of those details most people don’t realize, but it makes all the difference in eyelid surgery results.

A beautiful lift, restored volume, and a silhouette that feels balanced and confident by Dr. Frew! ✨

This patient underwent a bilateral vertical mastopexy combined with a bilateral silicone breast augmentation using 520cc implants. By lifting the breasts vertically and adding volume with silicone implants, Dr. Frew was able to enhance shape, improve projection, and create a more youthful, natural-looking result while still maintaining proportion to her body.

Considering a breast lift or augmentation? Schedule a consultation with Dr. Frew to discuss your personalized plan.

A subtle change, but powerful refresh! 🫧

This patient’s upper blepharoplasty restored a brighter, more open eye appearance without changing who she is. By carefully removing excess upper eyelid skin,
Dr. Balikian creates results that look natural, rested, and timeless!

Notice how her eyes appear more awake, the lid contour is smoother, and her overall expression feels lighter all while maintaining harmony with her facial features. This is the art of precision facial surgery.
