My Philosophy

My philosophy in facial rejuvenation is to work from the inside out, starting with the facial skeleton as a maxillofacial surgeon. I build the foundation first, as everything works in layers. Next, I reposition tissues before removing any. For example, I elevate eyebrows before taking tissue from the upper eyelids. Lastly, I treat the skin, using resurfacing and chemical peels to finalize the rejuvenation. These three steps provide a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. I prefer evaluating the patient as a whole to create a detailed treatment plan that exceeds expectations.
