🙅🏾‍♂️The vast majority of my browlift patients do not bruise anymore - and I do a lot of browlifts! Basically one with every deep plane facelift and deep necklift I do.

Of course, once in a while, we get unlucky and get real bruising.

But that is truly, truly rare - and it’s for one reason in particular.

I explain in this video!

💯Natural-looking male facelift results *are* possible.

It is possible to look younger and refreshed, but “unchanged,” not “unrecognizable.”

7 weeks postop for

Dom is one of my very best friends and colleagues.

He and I have known each other for approximately 15 years, and over those years we have co-evolved from junior surgeons to two of the very small handful of current global leaders in facial rejuvenation surgery.

We routinely share publications, podiums, operating theaters, insights, and laughs all over the world.

My association with Dom has made me a better surgeon and happier person.

So, a few months ago, when he reached out for his own facelift, I said “it would be my honor.”

Dominic is 50.

Despite his profession, in true Omakase Facelift®️ fashion, he left all the decisions to me.

We settled on:

✅Deep necklift
✅Deep plane extended facelift
✅Conservative browlift
✅Lower blepharoplasty
✅Buccal fat reduction
✅Conservative upper blephatoplasty
✅A touch of fat transfer
✅CO2 laser of the lower eyelids only
🚫No full face laser resurfacing- he is happy with his skin texture already.

From the beginning of our discussion, Dom felt very strongly that he wanted to share his journey publicly.

Why? Despite rapidly increasing male facelift popularity, male facelifts still seem taboo.

Dr. Bray wanted to smash that taboo, and also share the unique insights he will get from “tasting his own (facelift) medicine.”

🍿You can watch his entire video series from before surgery to now on the “Dominic” highlight of my page.

🙏Dom, thank you so much for putting your trust in me.

🏆The top pro in every field was once a total beginner.

🙅‍♀️Why would anyone choose to go with a doctor that has had almost no patients?

⚖️A lawyer that has tried no cases?

🏡A realtor that has sold no homes?

🤔How do you attract business if you’re just starting out?

🐣In this video, I share my early experiences.

🗣️I would love to hear your/your thoughts.

“Staying ahead of the pain” by taking narcotics is outdated thinking.

It unnecessarily opens the door to nausea, constipation, hallucination, itchiness, and depression – all things that you don’t ever want - especially not while you’re recovering from surgery.

Honestly, if your “preventative” pain management begins in the recovery room instead of in the operating room you’ve missed the bus.

Why are the majority ofr my deep plane facelift and deep neck lift patients so comfortable?

Watch the video for a full explanation.

🤖Increasingly, people are using artificial intelligence to try to see what they might look like after plastic surgery.

⚠️But how realistic are these simulations?

🤔I took one of my recent patients - Ella (59 yo) - and ran her through a simulation with ChatGPT.

😬Overall, Chat did a pretty good job.

‼️Although I specifically asked it to simulate the results from a facelift, deep neck lift, lower blepharoplasty, browlift, fat transfer, and full face laser resurfacing, it also changed her nose (rhinoplasty) and depicted her smiling in the “after” picture…

🙅🏾‍♂️Both of these changes 100% misrepresent what you should actually expect after expert level facial surgery.

😵‍💫This would mislead the average consumer who is not looking at these nuances.

⁉️Interestingly, ChatGPT *underestimated* the actual degree of neck improvement possible with expert face and neck lift surgery (compare the Chat vs Nayak’ed depth under the chin.)

🗣️What do you think about the simulation? Is it pretty realistic? Do you think these types of tools are helpful to the average consumer?

🤯It’s wild when you think about it.

My team and I arrived in Barcelona to teach the current standard in deep plane facelifting.

Early in the morning, while it was still dark outside, we walked into a hospital room and met Marga, our patient for the day.

For the first time ever.

She and I had never even spoken before.

She was chosen by the local surgeons hosting the Spanish Society of Facial Plastic Surgery () annual meeting.

She was very excited, but also understandably super nervous.

I am grateful she put her trust in me and my team, and very thankful for the staff of Clínica Sagrada Família for providing a safe environment to do the surgery.

While Marga was going to sleep, I gave a lecture on my techniques so that the surgeons watching at the meeting would understand what they were about to see happen in real time.

Marga’s facial rejuvenation included:

✅Deep necklift
✅Deep plane extended facelift
✅Minimal incision browlift
✅Lower blepharoplasty
✅A touch of fat transfer

She is currently 6 weeks postop, and healing beautifully!

⚠️⚠️⚠️Special note: there are tons of online scammers pretending to be me and offering patients an “opportunity” to be a live surgical model for a fee.

They are ALL scams. They’re stealing your money and personal information.

Do not believe any of them.

The only way I ever screen or choose a live surgical model is **in person.** ⚠️⚠️⚠️

☀️Day 7 for Kristie!

Kristie is almost 59 and wanted a refresh, especially of her jawline and neck.

As with most of my patients, achieving maximum improvement in those two areas without creating bunching in the temples required continuing the lift through the upper face and brow.

She was also open to other suggestions. We decided to take this downtime opportunity to fine-tune her lip length and refresh her skin.

Altogether, my Omakase Facelift®️ recommendations for her were:
✅Browlift
✅Facelift
✅Necklift
✅Incidental fat transfer
✅Lip lift
✅Full face CO2 laser resurfacing

👏👏Thank you, Kristie, for allowing me to share your journey!
