Happy Facelift Friday! ✨

I love facelift surgery—not only because of the transformation we can achieve, but because it brings together three things I have been passionate about throughout my career: facial anatomy, surgical precision, and helping patients feel confident.

My fascination with facial anatomy began as a medical student at Case Western Reserve University under the mentorship of Bahman Guyuron MD / Zeeba Clinic and Medspa . That passion continued to grow during my plastic surgery training at the Cleveland Clinic , where I learned from Dr. James Zins and had the incredible opportunity to be involved in the care surrounding the youngest face transplant recipient in the United States—a journey documented by National Geographic in 2018 National Geographic

From Cleveland, I traveled to Dallas for advanced fellowship training in rhinoplasty and facial aesthetic surgery under the legendary facelift and rhinoplasty surgeon Rod Rohrich , further refining my understanding of facial anatomy and the precision required to create natural, balanced results.

More than a decade of training later, that same fascination with the face is still there every time I step into the operating room.

And now, every Facelift Friday, I have the privilege of bringing that experience home—caring for patients from St. Louis, throughout the Midwest, and those who travel from across the country for their surgery.

For me, a facelift isn’t about making someone look like a different person. It’s about understanding the anatomy beneath the surface and using that knowledge to help patients look refreshed, natural, and confidently themselves.

Grateful to my mentors. Grateful for the journey. And especially grateful to the patients who trust me with their faces. 🙏

Happy Facelift Friday!

Day 2 Complete. ASPS Oral Boards Course 2026. 🎓

That’s a wrap on Day 2 of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Oral Boards Course.

Yesterday, I talked about the grit, sacrifice, and more than a decade of training it takes to reach this point in the journey toward becoming a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Today, I want to talk about what comes after you’ve made it.

Give back.

Someone taught you.
Someone challenged you.
Someone gave you their time.
Someone helped open a door.

Now it’s your turn to do the same.

It was a privilege spending these past two days helping prepare the next generation of plastic surgeons for one of the biggest milestones of their careers. And my support doesn’t end when the course does.

I let the examinees know that if they need additional help, advice, or preparation leading up to their boards, they can reach out to me here.

Why?

Because I remember what it was like to be on the other side of that table.

Medicine has given me an incredible career, and plastic surgery has given me opportunities I could have never imagined. Being able to give some of that knowledge and experience back to the surgeons coming behind me is an honor.

And I think that lesson extends far beyond medicine.

Whatever you do in life, find a way to give back.

Mentor someone. Teach someone. Open a door. Make a phone call. Give your time to someone who needs it.

Success means a lot more when you use it to help someone else succeed.

Congratulations again to all of the surgeons who completed the course. You came prepared, you put in the work, and now it’s time to finish the job.

Go crush your boards. 💪🏾

DAY 1 OF OBC COMPLETE 🎓💪

Just wrapped up my first day at the Oral Boards Course (OBC) with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), and today was a reminder of just how much grit it takes to become a board-certified plastic surgeon. This is now my third year as teaching faculty for the course and each year is even more inspiring!

The road to this point is long.

Medical school. Residency. Often fellowship. Thousands of hours in the operating room. Years of studying, sacrifice, missed weekends, early mornings and late nights.

For many of us, it’s a decade or more of training before we even earn the opportunity to sit for the American Board of Plastic Surgery certification process.

There are many titles used in aesthetics today—“cosmetic surgeon,” “aesthetic surgeon,” and others—but board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery represents a specific, rigorous standard of training and examination in plastic surgery.

It’s difficult by design.

I sometimes compare it to becoming a Navy SEAL: plenty of people admire the title, but very few are willing—or able—to endure the training required to earn it.

We are often imitated, but never duplicated.

And after working with today’s examinees, I was incredibly impressed. They came prepared, they knew their material, and they demonstrated the kind of commitment this profession demands.

I’m confident we’ll be welcoming another outstanding group of board-certified plastic surgeons very soon.

Day 1 down. Proud to be on the other side now, helping the next generation cross the finish line. 🥼💪

A Fifth Avenue plastic surgeon reveals the steps men should take before ever considering cosmetic procedures to extend their "hotspan."

Men now account for roughly 15% of all cosmetic procedures, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons — and the stigma that once kept them away has essentially collapsed.

But the real foundation, the surgeon says, starts with exercise, early hair loss intervention, ni****ne elimination and consistent skincare — long before anyone picks up a scalpel.
