This 30-year-old patient underwent lower face rejuvenation using the Bensimon discontinuous dissection technique, along with liposuction of the chin and neck.

The Bensimon technique is designed to improve the appearance of the lower face and jawline through targeted lifting and repositioning of tissue while maintaining natural facial movement and expression. When combined with chin and neck liposuction, it can create a more defined jawline and smoother neck contour without looking overdone.

For this patient, the goal was not to change her appearance, but to address fullness beneath the chin, improve lower face definition, and create a more balanced profile.

If you're bothered by a soft jawline, fullness beneath the chin, or early signs of lower face aging, a consultation can help determine which options may be right for you: https://bolithomd.com/

One of the greatest compliments I can receive is when a patient tells me they still look like themselves, just refreshed.

My goal is never to create a dramatic or artificial appearance. Instead, I strive to restore natural facial contours, improve areas that may be bothering a patient, and help them feel more confident in their appearance.

I am grateful for the trust my patients place in me and my team throughout their surgical journey.

Facial rejuvenation is often about addressing multiple areas together to create a balanced, natural-looking result.

This 65-year-old patient underwent a face and neck lift, fat grafting to the cheeks, and earlobe reduction. By restoring youthful facial contours, improving jawline and neck definition, and adding volume where it had been lost over time, we achieved a refreshed appearance that still looks like her.

One detail that is often overlooked? The earlobes. Over time, earlobes can elongate and lose their youthful shape. Earlobe reduction is a subtle procedure that can complement facial rejuvenation and help create harmony throughout the face.

If you're considering facial rejuvenation surgery, I invite you to schedule a consultation to discuss your options. https://bit.ly/4kmYvdd

A beautifully refreshed appearance with results that still feel completely natural.

This 62-year-old patient underwent a face and neck lift, fat grafting to the cheeks, and upper & lower blepharoplasty to address facial laxity, volume loss, and tired-appearing eyes. The result is a smoother jawline, restored facial balance, and a more rested, rejuvenated appearance without looking overdone.

At my practice, the goal is always thoughtful facial rejuvenation tailored to the individual patient. ✨

For years, breast reduction surgery was often dismissed as “just cosmetic.” But the research tells a very different story.

Studies continue to show that breast reduction surgery can significantly improve chronic pain, physical function, headaches, posture and overall quality of life.

More patients are recognizing that breast reduction can be about comfort, function, and feeling more at home in your body, not simply appearance.

At my practice, every consultation is approached thoughtfully and individually, with a focus on helping patients better understand their options and goals.

This patient underwent a customized facial rejuvenation plan that included a deep plane facelift, temporal brow lift, Upper blepharoplasty, upper Lip Lift, and autologous fat transfer to the cheeks and temporal fossae.

The goal was to restore youthful contours, soften signs of aging, and rejuvenate the eyes, cheeks, jawline, and neck while preserving the natural character that makes her uniquely herself. The result is balanced, harmonious, and designed to age beautifully over time.

One of the most common questions we hear is: "Am I too old for a facelift?"

The answer is often less about chronological age and more about overall health, lifestyle, and individual anatomy.

This featured patient is 80 years old and underwent a deep plane face & neck lift with fat transfer to the cheeks and temporal fossae. With careful evaluation, thorough medical clearance, and a personalized surgical plan, age alone did not prevent her from achieving a beautiful result.

Today's patients are living longer, staying active longer, and prioritizing their health well into their later decades. For the right candidate, facial rejuvenation can restore definition, volume, and a more refreshed appearance while still looking entirely natural.

Recovery is a process, and healing happens day by day.

This 58-year-old patient underwent a deep plane face and neck lift, upper lip lift, and fat grafting to the face. These photos document the early stages of recovery, from immediately post-op through 10 days after surgery.

While swelling and bruising are a normal part of the healing process, you can already begin to see the restoration of facial structure, improved jawline definition, and softer, more balanced contours developing over time.

One of the most important parts of facial rejuvenation is patience. Natural-looking results evolve gradually as healing progresses.
Every recovery journey is unique, and every treatment plan is individualized.
