1974 changed everything. 💉✨

Dr. Torg Skoog discovered the SMAS — your face’s internal scaffolding.
When it weakens, gravity takes over: jowls, loose skin, tired features.

Surgeons learned to lift beneath the skin, not just tighten it—creating natural, lasting results.

A little look behind the curtain of a standard Motiva Breast Augmentation.
    1    The Design: Precise pre-op markings are crucial for symmetry.
    2    The Tool: 400cc Round Implants.
    3    The Reveal: Immediate definition and projection.

We love Motiva for their safety profile and aesthetic consistency.

⏰ How soon can you schedule your plastic surgery?

It can be done relatively quickly — but there are a few important steps to keep in mind.

🩺 I’ll need to see you for a consultation.
📅 We coordinate your schedule, mine, and the operating room.
💉 If you’re over 40 or planning a major procedure, you’ll need pre-surgical clearance from your primary doctor, including blood work and other safety checks.

Patient safety always comes first — that’s why your facelift may happen next week, not tomorrow. 😉

Facial Balancing — Soft, Natural, Refreshed
‌
My patient came in with early under-eye hollowing and mild midface volume changes. With a customized plan, we restored harmony using:
‌
• Under-eye filler to soften early hollowing
• Cheek and nasolabial fold filler for gentle lift and contour
• Tailored lip filler to correct asymmetry and enhance natural shape
‌
No surgery — just precise, micro amounts of dermal filler placed exactly where needed to create a rested, balanced, confident result.
‌
I love helping patients who don’t need surgery achieve meaningful improvement through subtle, thoughtful facial balancing.
‌
Special thanks to my patient for sharing her results!

Did you know the first documented facelift happened in 1901? 🕰️

Performed in Berlin by surgeon Eugene Hollander on a Polish aristocrat, this early facelift only tightened the skin around the ear.

It was groundbreaking for its time—but early techniques focused only on skin removal, leading to the “windswept” look we now recognize as unnatural.

It was the start of a century-long evolution in facial rejuvenation.

🌿 “Natural” facial rejuvenation — what actually works, and what’s just marketing?
Most treatments that deliver real results aren’t 100% natural… and that’s perfectly okay. What matters is safety, evidence, and results that still look like you.

In my latest article, I break down:
✨ What “natural” really means in aesthetics
✨ Treatments that actually work (PRP, PRF, nanofat, RF microneedling, skin boosters)
✨ Red flags to avoid
✨ How to build a plan that fits your goals and skin type

If you want honest guidance—not hype—this is for you.

If you’ve ever searched for “natural facial rejuvenation,” you’ve probably seen everything from face yoga to crystal rollers promising miracles.

💉 PDGF under-eye filler: why I don’t recommend it for most patients.

PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) can fill hollows and rejuvenate skin — but it’s not my go-to choice. Here’s why:
⚠️ Some patients experience over-stimulation or swelling.
⚠️ It can’t be dissolved if results aren’t ideal.
⚠️ It’s FDA-approved for orthopedic and dental use, not lower-eyelid aesthetics.

If you’re considering a non-surgical under-eye treatment, safer options are available. Always ask about long-term safety and reversibility.
