There is no greater privilege than earning a patient’s trust.
Reconstructive surgery is about more than restoring the skin—it requires precision, experience, and an understanding that every patient deserves to feel cared for throughout the process.
We are deeply grateful for these kind words and for the recognition of our entire team,

Sometimes, the smallest adjustments can make a meaningful difference.
This depressed scar was treated with the strategic placement of hyaluronic acid filler beneath the area to restore support and soften the visible indentation.
Scar correction is not simply about adding volume. It requires understanding the depth, structure, and surrounding tissue—and placing the right amount of product precisely where it is needed.
The goal is subtle: to bring the depression closer to the level of the surrounding skin, improve the way light reflects across the area, and create a smoother, more natural-looking surface.
What actually happens during an EXOMIND® treatment?
EXOMIND is a FDA apporved non-invasive treatment for depression and designed to support mental wellness and cognitive performance—helping patients work toward greater focus, mental clarity, stress resilience, restorative sleep, and an overall sense of well-being.
For many patients, the technology is new—and naturally, one of the first questions is: What does it actually feel like?
We’re taking you inside an EXOMIND treatment from start to finish.
We begin by getting you comfortable and carefully positioning the device. The energy is then gradually adjusted to determine your individual comfort threshold before beginning the 20-minute treatment.
From there, all you have to do is relax.
Watch as our patient shares what the treatment feels like in real time—and how she feels immediately afterward.

One session. A noticeably more refined lower face and neck.
This before & after was achieved following just one Ellacor® Micro-Coring treatment, with visible improvement in the submental area and tighter, smoother skin through the lower face and neck. Resulting in a sharper jawline.
Ellacor works by removing microscopic cores of skin, allowing the skin to naturally remodel and contract as it heals—without adding volume or relying on thermal energy.
For the right patient, it can be a beautiful option to address skin laxity and create a naturally firmer, more defined appearance.

Filler isn’t about adding volume everywhere—it’s about understanding where volume is actually needed.
When treating the nasolabial folds, we often look to the cheeks first. Restoring appropriate midface support can help soften the folds without treating them directly.
But not every face needs more cheek volume.
For a patient who already has adequate fullness through the cheeks, adding more volume there may be unnecessary. In the right candidate, carefully and strategically placed filler in the nasolabial folds can help soften the transition, restore a smoother appearance, and create subtle rejuvenation—without changing the natural contours of the face.
The goal is never to follow a formula. It’s to treat the anatomy in front of you.

Mentorship has played such an important role throughout my own journey, which makes the opportunity to now give back especially meaningful.
As Chair of the CAS Healthcare Alumni Mentorship Program (CHAMP) Task Force, I had the privilege of hosting the Welcome Reception for our inaugural group of mentors and
mentees.
CHAMP was created to bring together NYU College of Arts & Science (CAS) alumni working in healthcare with current prehealth students, giving them an opportunity to
learn from those who once stood where they are today.
Early in my own career, I was fortunate to have mentors who believed in me, challenged me, and helped give me the confidence to pursue the physician and surgeon I wanted
to become.
Their guidance had a profound impact on my path, and I have never forgotten the importance of having someone willing to share their knowledge and
experience.
Now, having the opportunity to do the same for another generation of aspiring healthcare professionals is incredibly meaningful to me. Pictured here with my mentee at our first CHAMP gathering. I’m looking forward to the conversations, relationships, and growth that will come from this program over the year ahead.
There is something very special about seeing mentorship come full circle.🙏🏼
There has been a growing trend, particularly among plastic surgeons, of criticizing dermal filler and pointing to overfilled faces as evidence that patients should abandon injectables in favor of surgery.
I understand where some of that criticism comes from.
For years, aesthetic medicine went through an era where nearly every sign of aging seemed to have the same answer: add more volume. Cheeks, temples, jawlines, lips—every hollow became something to fill.
But when filler is repeatedly added without reassessing the patient's anatomy, it can create heaviness, distorted proportions and an unnatural appearance.
That’s a problem with how filler is being used—not filler itself.
As both a dermatologist and surgeon, I don’t see filler and surgery as opposing philosophies. They are different tools designed to accomplish different things.
A facelift can reposition descended tissue and address significant laxity in a way filler cannot. But strategically placed filler can restore support, improve proportion and subtly balance the face without surgery.
The question shouldn’t be, “Filler or surgery?”
It should be, “What is actually causing the change we’re seeing?”
Sometimes the answer is filler. Sometimes it’s a laser or another technology. Sometimes it’s surgery. And sometimes, the right answer is to do nothing.
That’s also why I don’t believe in treating filler as a commodity.
Faces don’t come in syringes.
Every patient has different anatomy, volume loss, skin quality and goals. Treatment should follow the anatomy—not a predetermined number of syringes or a social media trend.
I welcome the conversation around overfilling. But swinging the pendulum from “filler for everything” to “filler is bad” is another oversimplification.
Natural-looking aesthetic medicine isn’t about filler vs. surgery.
It’s about having the judgment—and restraint—to know when to use each.

A beautifully noticeable difference.
Sclerotherapy is a precise, minimally invasive treatment designed to target unwanted spider veins by using a very fine needle to inject a solution (polidocanol) directly into the affected vessel, causing it to gradually close and fade from view.
With cooler months ahead, now is an ideal time to begin treating the veins you’d rather not see next summer.
No surgery. Minimal downtime. Smoother-looking, more even-toned legs.
Schedule a consultation to learn if sclerotherapy is appropriate for you.

Sclero season has officially arrived. 💉
Consider it a little disappearing act for unwanted spider veins on the legs.
As temperatures cool and legs spend a little more time covered, fall is an ideal time to begin sclerotherapy. Through a series of precise injections, targeted spider veins are treated, allowing them to gradually fade from view over time.
Typically 3 sessions are recommended month apart for maximum results. Compression stockings are worn post procedure for a duration of about 3 days depending on your providers instructions.
Treat them now. Let them disappear. Show off your results later.
Schedule your consultation to learn if sclerotherapy is right for you.
