Three Keys to Inconspicuous Incisions:

Achieving the most imperceptible incision lines is about much more than just stitching. It’s about strategy. Of course, surgical finesse is extremely important, but more importantly, it’s about achieving the right balance of skin tautness and softness while at the same time alleviating tension beneath the surface.

Adherence to a proper care protocol, including sun protection, topical silicone, and laser (when necessary) are great, but these are helpful finishing touches. Achieving the most beautiful incision lines is primarily about 1. thoughtful surgical planning, 2. alleviating tension beneath the surface and 3. meticulous surgical technique.

All of the examples you see in this video share the classic trio of breast lift incisions: around the ar**la, vertically down, and within the crease, often called the "Wise" pattern or inverted-T, demonstrated in the last static image.

There's something remarkable about subtle transformation. With the right implant choice and a thoughtful surgical plan, breast augmentation can enhance a patient's natural shape rather than alter it entirely.

This 27-year-old patient wasn't looking for a dramatic change. She wanted to maintain her proportions while adding volume, fullness, and gentle enhancement to her décolleté. Our shared goal was a result that felt both beautiful and natural, and the outcome exceeded her expectations.

There is no one-size-fits-all in the world of breast augmentation. While it's easy to get caught up in the hype around implant and pocket selection, it all boils down to anatomy, goals, and safety.

Deflation and diastasis (muscle separation) are so common after pregnancy. A “mommy makeover” is the familiar term for combining breast augmentation with a classical abdominoplasty, and in carefully selected patients these procedures can be safely and effectively performed in a single operation.

Breast augmentation restores volume, shape, and projection to the breasts, re-establishing balance and proportion. Abdominoplasty removes excess skin, repairs the re**us muscles, and restores a smooth, firm contour to the midsection. In this case, she had conservatively sized gel implants placed, and a tummy tuck with repositioning and recreation of the belly button. Try to spot the tiny beauty mark on the left of her midsection, it's a great example of how much skin is tailored and how the navel is restored to a beautiful, youthful position.

When combined, the effect is more than physical. Confidence, strength, and body harmony are restored. For this 34-year-old mother of two, the transformation meant not only feeling like herself again, but looking better than ever.

At 38, this mom of three (with a four-year-old and one-year-old twins) found that her tummy never recovered after pregnancy. No matter how hard she worked on her core, the bulge remained. She lived in shapewear, struggled with clothing, and endured the sting of people asking her when she was “due.”

Diastasis recti happens to almost every woman after pregnancy. Sometimes it’s mild, sometimes moderate with a bit of bulge, and sometimes, like in her case, it’s severe. The abdominal wall separates, the core loses its stability, and the tummy constantly distends forward. While it’s more common with twins, it can occur after any pregnancy.

Notice in her photos: lying down, the tummy looks flat… but you can clearly see the edges of the muscles, the wide gap, and the laxity of the skin.

Repairing diastasis is about more than aesthetics. It’s about restoring strength, stability, and comfort. Through abdominoplasty, I repaired her abdominal wall, tightened and corseted her midsection, and tailored the excess skin, restoring a natural, youthful hourglass figure.

I love the nuance and technical challenge of cases like this. But most of all, I love seeing how life changing the results can be.

Why is lower eyelid surgery trending among younger patients?

I was honored to share my perspectives for 's excellent feature in on the increasing popularity, better aesthetics, and longer term effects of blepharoplasty for younger individuals. With the three-dimensional "hills and valleys" that produce shadows and discolorations, off-the-shelf treatments are rarely effective, whereas conservative surgical procedures are often transformative.

Patients are increasingly moving beyond short-lived injectable Band-Aids in favor of longer-term, elegant solutions. Modern surgical techniques prioritize safety, subtlety and natural results.

When performed thoughtfully for the right candidate, eyelid surgery can smooth those hills and valleys and often deliver results that are beautiful and fresh, and last far longer than injectable treatments.

Thank you to Kara and Allure for spotlighting this important conversation in aesthetics.

I’m thrilled to share these insights, and invite you read the full article below.

I am honored to share that I have been named one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons 2025 by Newsweek for the fifth consecutive year.

This recognition spans all six major categories — Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Eyelid Surgery, Rhinoplasty, and Facelift.

What makes this especially meaningful is that it is based on thousands of votes from physicians and surgeons nationwide who evaluate quality of care, consultation, follow-up, and surgical outcomes.

This achievement is a shared success. My sincere thanks to my incredible team, and to our extraordinary patients for your trust in us. It is a privilege to do what I love every day and to be part of your journey.

This beautiful 36-year-old mom of three experienced the volume loss and deflation that so many women notice after breastfeeding.

With a thoughtfully performed breast augmentation with implants, I helped restore the fullness she once had, bringing her back to her pre-baby body, not someone else's.

Choosing the ideal size and shape is not arbitrary; it is a carefully orchestrated process based on unique anatomy and personal desires.

Every transformation is personal, and this one is all about balance, beauty, confidence, and feeling like you again.

This 34-year-old mother of three stayed strong and healthy through each pregnancy, committed to Pilates, yoga, strength training, and clean nutrition. These helped her lose the baby weight, but had little impact on the persistent bulge in her midsection and no effect on the stretched, excess skin that remained.
Despite her dedication, she found herself relying on shapewear and constantly trying to hide her tummy. She didn’t feel like herself.

Abdominoplasty, with sculptural muscle contouring and meticulous skin removal, restored her pre-pregnancy silhouette. More importantly, it brought back her self-confidence and comfort in her own body.
The result? She feels absolutely fabulous in clothing, in two-piece bathing suits, and in the quiet confidence of finally feeling at home in her body again.

Town & Country: “A Snob’s Guide to... Getting a Facelift”

I'm honored to be featured in the latest issue of Town & Country in a beautifully written piece by exploring the evolving art and science of the modern facelift.

In the article, I share insights into the paradigm shift defining today’s facial rejuvenation, that is guided by surgical precision and a commitment to preserving individual identity rather than altering it.

This new era in aesthetic medicine values natural over novel, favoring subtle refinement, structural longevity, and respect for facial anatomy and dynamics.

Swipe for select excerpts from the piece.

"Should I just wait until I have kids to undergo breast augmentation surgery? Won't pregnancy and breastfeeding mess up my results?"

This is another example of questions I receive all the time during consultations with patients in their 20s and 30s. I just saw this patient more than 10 years after her tuberous breast correction with silicone implants. In the years since her surgery, she had three children and breastfed all of them. The before and after photos shown here were taken 13 years apart!

Her results immediately after surgery? Gorgeous.
Her results 13 years and three kids later? Still gorgeous.

For women who've been putting off the confidence and happiness that can come from loving their breast size, shape, and symmetry, this is proof: your results can stand the test of time, and of motherhood.

We've all had those moments - looking in the mirror or at photos and wondering why we look so tired or unlike ourselves.

For many, the eye area becomes a major source of concern and insecurity. As we age, the delicate skin around our upper and lower eyelids begins to show the effects of time and gravity. This results in hollowness, puffiness, excess skin, and shadows that make us appear older or more fatigued than we feel.

In this case, I performed a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) with autologous fat transfer to the lid-cheek junction. The transformation is subtle yet striking. Where there were once areas of bulges, hollows, and shadows, there's now a refreshed, youthful, and well-rested appearance. Best of all? She still looks natural and like herself!

Addressing the eye area can significantly enhance overall facial aesthetics, often with subtle yet powerful results that help us age with confidence and grace.

This 34-year-old mom of four, dedicated to clean eating and consistent exercise, shed all her pregnancy weight. Despite all her discipline, her body just didn’t bounce back the way she’d hoped. She still felt uncomfortable in swimwear and was tired of constantly needing shapewear.

Diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation), stretched skin, and a distorted belly button, all common challenges after multiple pregnancies, can be even more frustrating for someone who had put in the work.
She came to me looking to feel like herself again. With a carefully tailored abdominoplasty, I was able to restore her core support, remove excess skin, and reshape her waist. The result? A smooth, firm midsection, a beautiful, youthful contour, and an entirely new world of wardrobe choices and feeling absolutely great in a bathing suit.
