Fat = fullness.

When weight comes off too quickly, the face can lose some of that natural fullness— simply because the skin can’t always keep up with rapid fat loss. This isn’t specific to Ozempic or other semaglutides; it’s just what can happen with fast weight loss in general.

That lost fullness can often be restored in a very natural way with facial fat transfer, bringing balance back without overdoing it!

Incredibly grateful for this recognition. 😁

Being named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor is such an honor, but what means the most to me is the trust my patients place in me every single day. Huge thank you to my incredible team for all they do, and to the patients who allow me to do the work I truly love.

All men have some amount of breast tissue, but factors like hormones, certain medications, weight changes, or underlying health conditions can cause it to enlarge more than desired. This condition is known as gynecomastia, and it’s far more common than most people realize.

The good news? You don’t have to just live with it. Gynecomastia surgery is designed to remove excess glandular tissue and/or fat to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

You probably expect to wear dramatic bandages after an eyelid lift— but that’s really not the case. Most patients are surprised by how minimal the downtime is and how much easier the recovery feels than they expected!

When a neck lift is combined with buccal fat removal, the two procedures really complement each other.

A neck lift smooths loose skin and removes excess fat under the chin and along the neck, helping define the jawline. Buccal fat removal targets fullness in the lower cheeks, bringing out your natural angles and facial structure.

Together, these procedures work to refine facial contours, improve balance between the face and neck, and create a more defined look!

I guess you could say I have quite the eclectic music taste while I'm in the operating room. 🤣

When you get a procedure done, the last thing you want is for people to say, “Wow, nice facelift!”

A well-done facelift should never look obvious. The goal isn’t tight skin or dramatic pulling— it’s restoring what time has gently shifted. By lifting and repositioning the deeper facial structures (not just the skin), we’re able to soften sagging, improve contour, and refresh the face in a way that still looks completely natural.

IV therapy has become a go-to for next-level hydration, boosted energy, and total-body wellness. 💧

Whether you’re recovering from travel, supporting your immune system, replenishing essential nutrients, or still recovering from the New Year's party, IV therapy delivers what your body needs quickly and effectively.

It might be surprising, but fat removal definitely isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment.

What works best for you depends on a lot of factors, like how much weight you’ve already lost (or still want to lose), where stubborn fat is located, how your skin elasticity looks, and more.

Luckily, we walk through all of this together during your consultation so we can choose the option that's right for you. 👍

There are certain procedures that can create a noticeable confidence boost right away, and breast augmentation is one of them.

For many patients, it’s not simply about adding volume. Breast augmentation can help restore lost fullness after pregnancy or weight changes, improve symmetry, and better balance overall proportions.
