Swipe to learn the 4 biggest myths about HA filler. My colleagues and I just published a paper in Aesthetic Surgery Journal tackling four of the biggest myths about hyaluronic acid fillers. My biggest takeaway: natural results aren’t about whether you get filler. They come from the right patient, the right product, the right placement and technique, and a thoughtful long-term plan. 👌

Why this matters now: research cited in the paper found that 44% of surveyed patients said social media influencers significantly affected their aesthetic decisions. Misinformation spreads fast. As physicians, it’s on us to join the conversation.

So proud to have worked on this with Vince Bertucci, MD; Deirdre Hooper, MD; Ada Trindade de Almeida, MD; Younghoon Cho, MD; and Nazanin Ashourian, PhD. 💬 Comment “MISCONCEPTIONS” and I’ll send you the full paper 📩

The quality of your skin speaks before you do. ✨
My lovely patient is 66 years old in both of these photos, and this is such a beautiful example of why I talk so much about the importance of skin quality, especially in patients experiencing facial changes while on GLP-1 medications.

Research has shown that GLP-1–associated facial changes can preferentially affect superficial facial fat, including areas such as the upper cheek and temple. Research I’ve conducted also has found approximately 4x fewer adipose-derived stem cells in patients taking GLP-1 medications, which may have implications for the way we think about skin and tissue quality in these patients.

For her, we took a multimodal approach over two treatment sessions. I first focused on preparing and improving the quality of her skin, started her on XOMD Skincare to support the hormonal balance of her skin which we know is affected by GLPs, and treated her with Sculptra to support adipocyte derived stem called collagen stimulation. At her next treatment, we used pan-facial hyaluronic acid filler to thoughtfully restore areas of volume loss and create balance across the face.

Notice the softening of the fine lines around her mouth, the more even and radiant tone, and how refreshed she looks overall.

She’s 66 in the before. She’s 66 in the after. And now, her appearance looks as refreshed as she feels on her GLP-1 journey. ❤️

The only opinion that matters.🩵
In a world where we’re constantly being evaluated, there’s something pretty grounding about being reminded that to one little person, none of that matters.
To him, I’m just Mom. ⭐️❤️

La única opinión que realmente importa.  🩵
En un mundo en el que constantemente nos están evaluando, hay algo que nos ayuda a mantener los pies en la tierra al recordar que, para una personita, nada de eso importa.

What does 45 look like? Whatever we decide it looks like. ✨
One of the things I love most about aesthetic medicine is that we have the opportunity to redefine what aging looks like.
Today, we have tools that previous generations simply didn’t have—from technologies that stimulate collagen and improve skin quality to injectables and energy-based treatments that can help us maintain and support our features as they change over time.
The goal isn’t to make a 45-year-old look 25. It’s to challenge the idea that there is one way a woman at 45, 55, 65—or any age—is “supposed” to look.
With thoughtful treatments, started at the right time and used appropriately, we have the power to change the trajectory of how we age while still looking like ourselves.
We’re not trying to stop aging. We’re redefining what age can look like.

I did a take 10 on the beauty and she has maintained with XOMD Skincare care and 6 months later she is looking refreshed and younger than ever after biohacking her skin!

Gen Z is entering aesthetic medicine, but treating a generation spanning adolescence through young adulthood requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Join me and Dr. Steven Dayan for Thriving in Aesthetics: Meeting the Gen Z Aesthetic Where They Are At, a FREE live CME program exploring how providers can responsibly navigate the evolving needs, expectations, and influences shaping this generation.

From acne and skincare to neuromodulators, fillers, energy-based devices and “prejuvenation,” this expert-led conversation will explore what appropriate aesthetic care looks like at different stages of development, including consent and ethics, body dysmorphia and Zoom dysmorphia, patient education, and knowing when not to treat.
📅 Thursday, October 16
⏰ 8 AM PST / 10 AM CST

“Filler migrates!” 📣“Filler never goes away.” 📣“If you keep getting filler, eventually you’ll look unnatural!”📣 You’ve heard it before, but what makes these statements fact or fiction? 🤔

In a recently published paper in Aesthetic Surgery Journal, my colleagues and I address four of the most common misconceptions surrounding hyaluronic acid fillers and provide evidence- and experience-based guidance for navigating these conversations with patients.

One of the most important takeaways is that natural outcomes aren’t simply about whether or not you use filler. Patient selection matters. Anatomy matters. Product selection matters. Placement, volume and technique matter. And thoughtful, long-term treatment planning matters. 👌

Social media can be an incredible source of education, but it can also amplify misinformation. In fact, the paper cites research finding that 44% of surveyed patients said social media influencers significantly impacted their decisions around aesthetic medicine. As physicians, I believe we have a responsibility to be part of these conversations and give our patients the context they need to make informed decisions.

I’m proud to have contributed to this work alongside my colleagues Vince Bertucci, MD; Deirdre Hooper, MD; Ada Trindade de Almeida, MD; Younghoon Cho, MD; and Nazanin Ashourian, PhD.

SN**CH IT! ✨Before you reach for jawline filler, make sure any excess submental (double chin) and jowl fat has been addressed first.
As I always tell my patients: filler might be the quick and easy thing to do, but don’t do the wrong thing for the life of your face just because it’s the easy thing to do.
When excess fat is contributing to the lower face, simply adding more filler can risk creating a bottom-heavy appearance. No amount of filler can truly replace addressing the underlying anatomy first. (Well, maybe it can…but you might end up looking like a trapezoid. 😬)
For this patient, we started by treating the foundation with micro-liposuction + ThermiRF of the supraplatysmal fat and jowls four years ago.
Since then, we’ve maintained and refined her results with:
⭐️ Laser resurfacing to address years of SoCal sun damage and improve crepey skin around the eyes and neck
⭐️ Ultherapy two years later for additional skin tightening
⭐️ Cheek + jawline filler approximately once a year, most recently with Volux
⭐️ A Nefertiti lift with Botox approximately every six months
When you address excess submental and jowl fat first, you may not need as much filler to create definition.
