Congratulations to my dear friend for his new book, .
I am thrilled to have been invited to contribute to the book as a longevity expert. Our relationship with our self- image as we age and our attitude about aging has significant impact on our longevity and healthspan. Our new longevity aesthetics platform A.G.E. Is a roadmap to Aesthetics 3.0! Stay tuned .

Just my usual Saturday 😃- Anatomy cadaver lab! Demonstrated my approach to the lower lid canthopexy from the upper lid , the anatomy , and modifications to account for globe prominence. Great discussion with Swedish colleagues attending the

Happy birthday weekend to our wonderful nurse , Jenny, who takes amazing care of our patients whether peri-op, or with aesthetics procedures! Bonus - she dials taking her final for her master’s program next week. Even more reason to celebrate!

A pleasure to speak at the . Faculty dinner kick off! To reconvene with colleagues from all over the world to learn and to educate.
Sat tuned for more news and highlights from the meeting this weekend.

AGE of Longevity! Though this may not seem related on the surface, Vanessa Friedman in today’s NYTimes maps out the new trend that is making a mark on the fashion runways with amazing 50 plus models, embraced by majority brands, and supported and validated by economic realities of our times. The impact of an aging population who own their AGE am their capabilities and contributions as we live longer healthier lives!

I’m honored to again be recognized as a Super Doctor in New York for 2026, in a peer nominated process. This marks the 14th year I’ve received this distinction! Thank you to my colleagues who nominated me for this recognition.

I was deeply moved by Seeing Silence: The Paintings of Helene Schjerfbeck at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Her early portraits are luminous and richly colored. Over time, that color recedes. In her late self-portraits - painted during the years of World War II - form is reduced, detail is stripped away, and what remains feels almost elemental. These images are less about aging than about witnessing a world under strain.

Like many women artists of her era, Schjerfbeck did not have the means to hire models. She used herself. Over decades, her own face became a record of time and history.

Aging here is not something to be corrected or concealed, but understood. The body becomes a quiet archive, holding both personal truth and the weight of the moment in which it exists.

A recent multi-omics study of the world’s oldest verified individual suggests that extreme longevity isn’t about escaping aging - it’s about how the body manages it. Despite classic hallmarks of aging, such as very short telomeres and clonal hematopoiesis, this supercentenarian exhibited remarkably low inflammation, efficient lipid metabolism, and a microbiome rich in beneficial Bifidobacterium.

The findings point to a powerful combination of protective genetics, resilient immune function, and lifestyle factors-including diet and daily activities-similar to a Mediterranean-style diet and regular consumption of fermented foods.

While this is just one extraordinary case, it offers intriguing clues about the biology of healthy aging and the systems that allow some individuals to 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 well beyond 100.

What if aging isn’t a one-way trajectory, but a biological program that can be slowed, repaired - and even reversed?

A new Cell study demonstrated that gene-engineered stem cells reversed multiple hallmarks of aging in primates. These senescence-resistant cells (SRCs), fortified with the longevity gene FOXO3, improved cognition, bone density, immune balance, reproductive health, and epigenetic aging - with measurable molecular reversal across tissues.

While SRCs are not yet not tested in human, this study marks a turning point/
It reinforces a simple truth: aging is biologically targetable - and the future of longevity lies in repairing the mechanisms beneath the surface.

In the office today thinking about how something as simple as light can have such different effects in tissue depending on the wavelength. In plastic surgery we often focus on scalpels and energy devices… meantime LED light therapy has quietly become a very useful adjunct. Different wavelengths, different biologic responses… all using light to support the skin’s ability to heal and regenerate. Always fascinating to see physics and biology intersect in medicine.
