How to treat marionette lines WITHOUT surgery 👇

Most people don't realize these lines aren't just wrinkles — they're caused by excess fat, skin laxity, and overactive DAO muscles.

Here are 3 non-surgical options:
✅ Weight management to reduce fullness in the lower face
✅ Strategic filler (but not too much!)
✅ Botox to relax the muscles pulling everything down

Just got back from the , one of the world’s premier meetings on aesthetics, breast, body, face, and rhinoplasty. Gave a talk on AI in plastic surgery, joined panels on social media and digital marketing, and came home with a full notebook.

Here are 5 things that stuck with me

AI is already changing how we create content, do research, and run our practices — and it’s accelerating fast

Fake before-and-afters are here and nobody in the room can tell the difference

OpenClaw and personal AI agents are months away from early adoption — your own AI workforce running on your own hardware

The preservation vs structural rhinoplasty debate is over — it’s about correct patient selection

Regenerative aesthetics was the biggest trend at the meeting — better skin from the inside out

The best part is always the people - met old friends, made new friends, and had some great hallway conversations.

If regenerative aesthetics is on your radar, this is exactly why we created KBAS — the K Beauty Aesthetic Summit. July 25, 2026 in Los Angeles. We’ll be talking about anything and everything that improves your skin quality. Link is in my bio.

16+ years and still going strong 🙌

Nothing means more than a patient who's been with you through it all — from surgery to skincare and everything in between. Hearing that your skin, your confidence, and your results are still thriving? That's exactly why I do what I do.

Grateful for every referral, every visit, and every moment of trust. ✨

Would you inject something labeled "not for human consumption" into your body?

Thousands of people do it every day with peptides.The promise: muscle growth, fat loss, anti-aging, faster recovery.

The reality: contaminated with arsenic & lead, zero human safety data, and your doctor's malpractice insurance won't cover it.

I broke down everything you need to know about the peptide craze on my Substack

I’ve been using AI in my plastic surgery practice for over 2 years now -not the hype, but the practical stuff that’s actually changing how I work.

Tomorrow at the Dallas Rhinoplasty & Cosmetic Meeting, I’m talking about how AI can help you run a smarter practice, from

streamlining your workflow
creating better content
doing research (to replace your fellow) - I mean, to enhance the efficiency of your fellow
setting up your own personal AI assistant that runs right in your office

I’ll cover what’s working now, what’s coming next, and be on some fun panels on the latest in neurotoxins, fillers, social media, and digital marketing.

But the best part of these meetings is always the people! Looking forward to seeing old friends, making new ones, and learning as much as I can.

See you in Big D!

Beautiful results with 400cc breast augmentation, creating natural-looking volume and enhanced confidence.

My beautiful patient wanted a balanced, proportionate look that complemented her frame perfectly.

I specialize in customized breast augmentation techniques that prioritize natural aesthetics and long-term satisfaction. Every consultation includes detailed measurements and 3D imaging to help you visualize your results before surgery.

George Carlin had 7 words you couldn’t say. Plastic Surgery has 7 words that sound medical and mean almost nothing, yet patients are making real decisions based on them.

I hear these words every week in consultations. Patients use them thinking they’re being specific. But to me, every one of these words was designed to simplify something that isn’t simple.The gap between what patients think they mean, what I think they mean, and what I can deliver, can often vary wildly.

Old man crankiness was at a 10 out of 10 when I sat down to write this- it may have been my man-opause kicking in. Swipe through all of them — a few might surprise you.

What’s a word you heard in your own consultation that didn’t mean what you thought it meant?

Honored to speak to about male aesthetics, both functional and physical, regarding Botox to the p***s.

When Botox is injected into the corpora cavernosa, it relaxes vascular smooth muscle and improves blood flow- which can mean a better, longer, or stronger er****on. A 2024 study also shows early promise for premature ej*******on when Botox targets the perineal muscles.

There may be a modest size gain too- roughly one centimeter- but that’s about it.

I don’t offer this procedure, but the fact that men are openly discussing pe**le aesthetics at all tells you something about where male wellness is headed.

Grooming norms shifted dramatically in the early 2000s. Cultural attitudes about the rest of the body may not be far behind.

What’s the most surprising use of Botox you’ve heard of?

You don’t have to be “old” to need a Blepharoplasty. 👁️

This patient is young, but early upper lid laxity was hiding her natural crease. Her biggest request? “I want to look like myself — just better.”

We conservatively:
↳ removed excess skin
↳ reinforced her natural fold
↳ kept her brow completely untouched

She looks the same… just more open, rested, and defined.

The best blepharoplasty is the one nobody can spot.

Thinking about eyelid surgery but worried about looking overdone? Contact my office and let’s set up a consultation.

This is why I do what I do.

When patients come in nervous about breast augmentation, I make sure every question gets answered, no matter how many. This recent patient had reservations, and we took the time to discuss everything she could expect. No rushing, no hesitation.

The result? She's thrilled with her augmentation, and that's what matters most.

If you're considering breast augmentation, you deserve a surgeon who listens and keeps you informed every step of the way.

Five stars! And yes, I’m the main driver — but good outcomes don’t happen in a vacuum.

Facelift and necklift patients like this one remind me that the full team matters. OR staff, front office, patient coordinator. Even your family and friends at home who are actually following post-op instructions with you.

All of it adds up. A low-stress recovery environment, someone who answers your calls, people who show up — these things genuinely affect how you heal.

Grateful to my wonderful patient who appreciates the team effort!
