From Surgery Day to Settled ✨

It’s completely normal to feel a bit of “sticker shock” right after breast augmentation. In these photos, you can see the beautiful 3-month progression of my patient’s journey.

She was tired of relying on padded bras and wanted a result that fit her frame perfectly without feeling “overdone.” We chose 300cc Silicone Demi/ Moderate Plus Profile implants to keep her footprint petite but defined.

The Healing Timeline:
    •    1 Month: The implants are still sitting high and the skin is tight (swelling is at its peak!).
    •    2 Months: The “drop and fluff” begins as skin and breast tissue relax.
    •    3 Months: The breasts settle into a natural, soft teardrop shape.

A huge thank you to my patient for allowing us to share these transparent healing shots!

Here’s where the real magic happens. 🎥✨

AI now handles everything that used to slow me down:
🎧 Removes background noise + filler words
🎚️ Adjusts audio levels automatically
👁️ Even fixes eye contact using tools like Descript

One of the most commonly overlooked areas for neuromodulator treatment is the jawline and chin.

You don’t need a large number of additional units. Small, strategic amounts placed into the muscles responsible for frowning and downward pull can help:
• smooth chin dimpling
• relax jawline tension
• soften lower-face wrinkles

These subtle treatments can significantly improve balance and harmony in the lower face.

So now you know.

Aesthetic medicine is evolving faster than most people think.

What’s considered “innovative” in the U.S. is often already standard elsewhere. After attending multiple global conferences in 2025, I identified seven trends that stood out—and why they matter for patient safety and results.

Surgeons aren’t video editors. 🎥👨🏻‍⚕️

Expensive production teams, complex software, or phone-only editing often lead to content that’s either too costly, too time-consuming, or not professional enough.

What changed everything was starting with simple talking-head videos enhanced by AI, focusing on consistency and valuable content instead of perfection.

How to fade breast reduction scars in 8 weeks!

Vertical scars are a necessary part of a breast reduction, but they don’t have to be permanent reminders. I use a 4-pillar system for every patient: 

Surgical Artistry: A meticulous closure technique. 
Protection: Silicone bandages. 
Support: The Brijjet device to take the pressure off. 
Biotech: Microneedling with Exosomes to accelerate fading.

Thinking about a facelift? Here are 3 important things to consider before surgery:

1. Don’t combine too many procedures.
Facelift + rhinoplasty seems efficient, but they each require focused surgical time and ideal blood flow. In most cases, separating them leads to safer, cleaner recoveries.

2. Include a volumization plan.
A modern facelift is not only about lifting — it’s about restoring youthful fullness with fat grafting to the temples, under-eyes, lips, and other hollow areas.

3. Skip thread lifts during facelift surgery.
A true facelift already provides strong, long-lasting structural support. Threads don’t add value and may interfere with proper healing.

Truth #1 💡
Revision facelifts are more complex.

It’s not “just doing it again.”
Your face already has:
⚠️ Scar tissue
⚠️ Changed blood supply
⚠️ Tissue that moves differently

Each revision needs precision and a customized approach.

Radiesse can look amazing for contour and structure, but it’s not a “casual” filler.

Two things I want every patient to understand before they do it:

1 It’s hard to reverse. If you don’t like it or you form a nodule, you need an injector who truly knows how to manage complications.

2 Cheeks aren’t always the problem… placement is. Too high near the lower eyelid can worsen puffiness and slow lymphatic drainage in people prone to swelling.

Bottom line: Radiesse isn’t wrong. The wrong plan (or injector) is.
