This is one of our patients who had Alloclae to enhance her breasts.

We are zooming in on her left breast so you can really see the difference, before and 5 months after.

You can see a very three-dimensional change. The entire breast looks fuller. We concentrated a lot of volume along the inframammary fold (the lower breast crease), and you can see how that whole area has been filled out.

This creates fullness not only at the lower fold, but across the entire breast, including the inferior, superior, and lateral poles.

We have been very happy with these results, and I have had patients come in at one year with results being maintained beautifully.

Can nose filler fix a crooked nose? For mild crookedness, it can often camouflage asymmetry.

In a non-surgical rhinoplasty, I use hyaluronic acid filler along the dorsum (bridge) to smooth subtle irregularities. The key thing to remember is that filler is an addition procedure. We cannot subtract, shrink, or “move” your natural anatomy.

If one side of the bridge is concave or caved in, a small amount of filler can help create a straighter appearance. But adding volume can also make the dorsum look slightly wider, so it is not the right answer for everyone.

Best for: subtle irregularities and mild crookedness.
If you are unsure which option fits your nose and your goals, schedule a consultation so we can evaluate safely and honestly.

Our beautiful patient! 🔥 We used Evolysse Form to bring more volume and structure to her lips and some Radiesse for mid-face rejuvenation.

A common request after childbirth: vulvar rejuvenation for improved comfort and appearance.

Today we did a Vaginal Rejuvenation Combo:
• L***aplasty (l***a minora)
• L***a majora rejuvenation + tightening with RF microneedling (Morpheus8)

Nearly all of my l***aplasty patients do this under local anesthesia and stay comfortable the entire time.

I had a wonderful time at the annual meeting at Indian Wells! It was energizing to catch up with colleagues, learn from one another, and reconnect with a community that truly supports excellence in our field.

I also had the opportunity to share a few pro tips on non surgical injection technique (from head to toe) and to perform a live injection demonstration. 🙌

Did you know we can use in the breasts for subtle enhancement, without implants and without surgery? 💉✨

I use as an in-office injectable option for select patients who want subtle improvement without surgery. It can be a great fit if you:

- Do not have enough body fat for a traditional fat transfer
- Prefer to avoid liposuction and a surgical procedure
- Have minor irregularities, mild asymmetry, or implant rippling (especially with thinner tissue)
- Want a bit of added fullness, not a dramatic size change

Candidacy matters, so the best next step is an in-person consultation to see what is realistic for your anatomy and goals. Give us a call at 415-392-3333 to schedule your consultation.

Do breast implants change after pregnancy or breastfeeding?

The implants themselves do not change, but your breasts can.

If you get implants in your 20s and then have kids 10 years later, pregnancy and breastfeeding can change your natural breast tissue. If your breasts stretch a lot (for example, you go from an A cup to a C cup during pregnancy and then lose volume afterward), you may notice this pattern:

⬆️ Your implant still sits higher where it was originally placed
⬇️ Your natural breast tissue can settle lower over time

That is when some women consider implant removal or replacement, and often a breast lift to bring everything back into a more youthful position.

On the other hand, if your breast size does not change dramatically with pregnancy and nursing (for example, you go from an A to a B/C temporarily and then return close to your baseline), many women still look quite good. In those cases, implants can actually help maintain upper pole fullness, which can be especially helpful after pregnancy.
