My thoughts on the best way to exfoliate the skin: chemical exfoliants like my favorite Advanced Lactic Acid Body Cream rather than loofahs.

I find that neck neuromodulator treatment becomes even more important than facial neuromodulation as time and age progress. The neck often reveals aging earlier and more visibly, because the platysma bands thicken, separate, and pull downward, creating vertical cords, horizontal lines, and a loss of that elegant cervicomental angle. Even when the face remains smooth, these muscular changes in the neck can project age more strongly. By treating the platysma thoughtfully, I can soften bands, refine contour, and preserve a long, graceful neckline. For my patients, and in my own approach to comprehensive facial optimization, consistent neck neuromodulation becomes essential to maintaining balance, beauty, and harmony across the entire face and neck.

Approaches to the lip span a spectrum from minimally invasive to definitive surgical refinement, each chosen based on a patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. A neuromodulator lip flip offers a subtle enhancement by relaxing the superficial fibers of the orbicularis oris, allowing the pink lip to evert and appear slightly fuller without adding volume. Injectable hyaluronic acid based fillers allow precise, millimeter level shaping of the vermilion border, body, and philtral columns to enhance contour and hydration while maintaining natural movement. Autologous fat grafting provides soft, biologic volume using the patient’s own tissue, offering longevity and a gentle, pillowy quality that can harmonize the midface and perioral region. A surgical lip lift shortens an elongated philtrum and increases red-lip show by advancing the lip upward, creating a more youthful and balanced proportion for patients seeking a structural and lasting improvement.

A midface lift, lower facelift, and neck lift together create a harmonious rejuvenation by addressing the central pillars of facial aging: volume descent in the midface, laxity along the jawline, and structural changes in the neck. A midface lift repositions the deep cheek fat pads to restore youthful contour and support under the eyes, while a lower facelift refines the jawline with deep tissue elevation for a smooth, defined mandibular border. The neck lift complements these maneuvers by tightening the platysma, improving the cervicomental angle, and removing excess skin for a graceful neck profile. When performed together with meticulous, anatomy-guided technique, these procedures create a natural, cohesive result that brightens the entire face without altering identity.

5 things I do in surgical facial optimization to ensure the most beautiful results for my patients

11/19/2025

Understated elegance in facelift surgery is achieved through a multi vector, deep tissue lift that elevates the face in its most natural anatomical directions while maintaining the patient’s intrinsic beauty and identity. By focusing on the structural layers beneath the skin, the surgeon can restore youthful contours without any sense of distortion or overcorrection. Delicate tissue handling protects nerve pathways, vascularity, and the softness of the facial envelope, allowing for a result that looks refined rather than surgical. When the goal is preservation of facial identity and optimization of beauty, the outcome is a harmonious, believable rejuvenation that enhances what is already unique and exquisite about each face.

Neuromodulator strategy becomes especially important as the facial balance shifts with age. Over time, the depressor muscles of the lower face—such as the platysma, DAO, and mentalis—tend to overpower the natural elevator muscles, contributing to jowling, downward pull at the mouth corners, and neck banding. For this reason, a lighter, more natural touch in the upper face helps maintain expression and avoids an over-frozen look, while a more assertive approach in the lower face can effectively counteract that increased muscular pull. Techniques like a Nefertiti neck lift specifically target the platysma and lower-face depressors, restoring lift, refining jawline contour, and re-establishing harmony between elevators and depressors as the face ages.
