34 year old patient who had a prominent nose before surgery. He was mostly bothered by his very large hump and drooping tip, especially when smiling. He wanted to flatten the dorsum of the nose and very subtly elevate his tip, so that the nose would still look like him. It was very important to him that look of the nose remained masculine in appearance. Here he is 2 months after surgery and the nose looks great already.

His nose will continue to look better as the swelling resolves. We could not be happier with this outcome. Looks great, yet nobody who meets him would know he had a nose job.

Monday motivation!

"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." — Winston S. Churchill

One of my favorite quotes of all time. Nothing better than getting back up after you stumble to keep trying, get better, and figure out how to succeed. All of us have obstacles in the way of success. Only those of us determined to find a way will forge a path forward.

For me my motivation all comes down to my family, leading by example, and showing them there is always a way.

What’s it like to come in for a rhinoplasty or septoplasty consultation?

I spend time making sure to review each patient’s medical history and goals for the surgery. We review postoperative care, expectations, and answer any questions the patient may have. But one of the most important aspects is the exam. Before surgery I like to perform an internal nasal speculum exam. This allows me to closely examine the septum, including any spurs or deviation it may have, to properly prepare for the surgery.

After all of that is done, I determine whether the patient is a good candidate for surgery.

36 year old female about a year about a year out from abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery to improve her contour and address the skin laxity of her abdomen and flanks. Her belly button also has been completely redone and looks amazing.

We could not be happier with this outcome for her.

Lovely patient in her 20’s was very bothered by tissue in her axilla. It was bothersome under clothing and she hated the way it looked, particularly whenever she wore a bathing suit. I removed it via a scar hidden in her axilla. Here she is seen 2 months after surgery and loving her result. Her scar will continue to fade in the year ahead.

For some patients this tissue is extra fat and for others it is extra breast tissue. Either way it is bothersome and uncomfortable, but fortunately it’s easily treated.

It can often be done in the office and patients are typically back to work the next day.

One of the points that I drove home for a lot of my patients is that it takes a long time for to reach their endpoint. Even though the skin is healed a superficially within a few weeks, every scar needs to undergo remodeling at the collagen level. It changes with time and takes at least a whole year to reach its final place.

This evolution of a scar over time is a typical timeline. You can see scars are typically red at first, but gradually start to fade over time. The photo above shows the same patient at 3 different points, and the scar gradually fades away with time, in particular the color, any raised or swollen portion of the scar. They not only fade but they soften with time also. Putting together with careful attention to detail at the time of surgery is just the beginning.

To minimize scars, I start all of my patients on silicone gel a few weeks after surgery for at least 6 months, and also remind them to protect the scars from the sun. SPF is critically important to allow scars to heal nicely over time. After a year, many of them blend in as nicely as they do in this photo.

It's not surprise that a lot of my patients choose to have surgery in fall or winter to be ready for the following summer.

Breast augmentation, like any other plastic surgical procedure, should be tailored to the patient’s goals. While some patients want to be big, there are lots of patients that simply want to be the size they were before having kids.

This 42 year old female came to see me because her breasts had deflated after having multiple kids and she didn’t feel like herself. She was always small, but after kids her breasts got smaller. She wanted to feel and look completely natural and wanted the option to not need a bra after surgery, either. She underwent placement of a 230 cc moderate profile silicone implant, and here she is 2 months after surgery feeling like herself again.

Over the next few months her residual swelling will resolve and the aesthetics of the breast will continue to improve. The scar will continue to fade away throughout the next year.

This lovely 21 year old patient came to see me to help improve her breathing and change the look of her nose. She wanted to flatten the top of her nose and elevate her nasal tip. An open rhinoplasty and septoplasty approach was used to address all of her concerns. I used spreader grafts and a Septoplasty to improve her breathing and got rid of her dorsal hump. Her tip was elevated and here she is seen a few months after surgery. The tip position has been elevated and she looks great, but her nasal tip definition will continue to improve in the months ahead, as it takes at least a full year to reach the final outcome.

41 year old female who had large and heavy breasts that she wanted lifted and reduced. She had previously had other aesthetic procedures done by me, so she decided to come back to get her breast reduction as well. This is one of my nicest patients. We are always happy to see her in the office and were ecstatic to see her result just 2 months after her breast reduction surgery. She already looks great and the scars will continue to fade with time. Her reduction, like the majority of my breast reductions, was covered by her insurance.

58 year old female who came to see me with heavy upper eyelids that she wanted to rejuvenate. She had a lot of excess skin of the upper eyelid and some mild herniation of fatty tissue. The upper eyelid skin excess was removed in the office under local anesthesia along with the fatty excess.

Here she is seen 2 months after surgery and with an improved definition of her upper eyelid crease, which was not previously visible before surgery. The shape of her eyes is better defined and the result is natural and beautiful.
