These retaining ligaments come into play for everything I do from facelifts to eyelid surgery to tear trough & jawline filler!
....
I have this conversation all the time with patients (especially my surgical & filler patients) regarding retaining ligaments in the face. Having an understanding of these is incredibly important in terms of why we see some of the changes we do with the face as we age. Granted, this is something for me to know inside & out to treat you best, but y’all know how much I love an educational opportunity!

Upper eyelid surgery is one of my top 3 favorite procedures! It is transformative but yet preserves YOU. It is refreshing, natural yet you still look like you. The eyes just seem *lighter* without any obvious answer as to why; you look *better* but no one is able to put a finger on why. It flies under the radar but the improvement is undeniable. It doesn’t change the shape of the eye and the incision is hidden right along our existing eyelid crease!…..About 4-5 days of downtime pending bruising and swelling.….The first 2 photos are on post operative day 1. The others are day of surgery. Suture removed on day 5 or day 6.….This patient followed all the “rules” and hardly has a bruise to show for it.….Let me know your questions below! ...

May we never forget & pass on to every generation to ensure it is never forgotten.…..Every year it feels like it was just yesterday. It takes me right back - I still feel like I am sitting in Chemistry class all over again, watching the news, watching as the 2nd plane crashed, as the towers fell. The fear, the terror, the life lost, the ashes, but also the unity, the love, the resilience & the bravery. The true American spirit. …“this is Brian. Listen, I'm on an airplane that's been hijacked”….“If things don't go well, and it's not looking good, I just want you to know that I absolutely love you.…."I want you to do good, go have good times — same to my parents and everybody — and I just totally love you … and I'll see you when you get there.…."Bye babe. I hope I call you." ... See MoreSee Less

What can filler do for you? ….As we age, there is no doubt we experience change at multiple levels - skin (thickness, elasticity, collagen), fat (volume loss, fat pad descent), ligaments (weaken), & bone (loss of vertical height, thinning). These in combination create appreciable changes that can be hard (at times) to pinpoint in terms of what “changed” but “it’s just different” - here is an example of how filler is used effectively & efficiently to improve on those subtle cues - starting here with the chin.….Using 1 syringe of strategically placed filler, we were able to restore a youthful taper to the lower 1/3 of the face (diminishing a squared off appearance or triangular heaviness that often comes with aging), improve her projection, & enhance her OWN features by simply reframing. ….Certainly with some additional filler used judiciously we can continue to enhance result but one must caution that too much filler anywhere including here can not only widen & distort the face but also artificially age someone in an unnatural way. ….Let me know what questions you have. Also, check stories above for a $75 opportunity for filler available to Allē members - applies to all Juvederm fillers (limited offer through Alle & expires end of November for use) ...

Let’s talk DURATION! Love this graphic from @injectorbunny regarding onset of action, peak action & then the dissipation of neuromodulator ( #botox or #dysport )with a gradual return of muscle function. ....It is NORMAL after 2-3 months or 8-10 weeks to see a gradual return of movement. Some patients get a little longer, some get a little shorter - there is some variability depending on the individual- but overall this depicts a generally normal timeline. ....As is often discussed with patients in clinic, generally speaking every 3-4 months (or once a season) is all that is needed. Also, those who know me hear me say this all the time, but after consistent use for a period of time at regular intervals, what we see in practice is that you can go *longer* between appointments as the muscles “forget” how to do such heavy lifting (think of it in terms of working out ones 💪🏻 - the less you work out, the less you can lift). ....Hope this helps for my visual learners out there! 🙌 ...

The buccal fat pad (one of which is pictured here) & its removal has recently become more en vogue as we have seen a heightened interest in a more defined cheek & cheekbone complex..... It is incredibly rewarding for both the patient and myself when performed in the right person. Also, make sure you choose wisely - as pictured in a few images here - many very important structures in this region (namely parotid duct, facial nerve branches, & important vessels).....The procedure is commonly performed as part of facial contouring and frequently in conjunction with liposuction, chin augmentation and the like. This gives an overall beautiful natural result while still preserving who YOU are.....While buccal fat pad removal yields results, it must be approached with caution. The majority of patients who ask about this surgical procedure are not candidates. The reason why lies for the most part in considering how each particular patient will age. If done aggressively, to really reach for that “wow” sculpted result, you may run into the fact that in a few years this area will appear deflated, sunken & artificially aged ahead of course. Not the case for everyone though so worth a conversation!....Questions? Let’s hear them! ... See MoreSee Less
