I know, I know — she has makeup obviously, but nonetheless doesn’t she look stunning? 🔥 Makeup can’t replicate the power of my endo brow lift, canthoplasty, midface lift, fat grafting to forehead, temples, under eyes, upper orbit (eye sockets), midface, upper/lower lips. Some call it the ponytail, I call it face optimization 👄🔥

{And for the record, like many of my patients she flew in from out of town and this photo is what she sent me. She’s obviously happy so if you still feel so compelled to hate on her makeup, head tilt, “lack of confidence” for not sending a makeup-free selfie, blah blah blah then please do me a favor and unfollow}

What are “platysmal bands” and how are they treated? First, the platysma is a thin vertical sheet of muscle that wraps around our necks and extends from collar bones to the chin and jaw. Just like any muscle, the platysma contracts and functions as a “hammock” to support deep structures. From an aesthetic standpoint, a hyperactively contracting platysma can create visible ridges of the neck that pop out especially when speaking or animating (swipe to see the video of my platysma contracting). These ridges, or platysmal “bands” are caused by dynamic contraction of some muscle fibers which causes them to “bowstring”, like pulling two ends of a loose string taut. Over time, with repeated contraction of the muscle bands, the overlying skin becomes stretched causing a permanent band to be visible at rest.
•••
Treatment can be non-surgical with targeted neuromodulator (like Botox or Daxxify) to weaken the bands. While this can be effective, it is a temporary effect and the bands come back if treatment is stopped. Also, it takes many units of neuromodulator to keep bands quiescent, and injections would need to be continued indefinitely, thus making it not cost effective in the long run.
•••
Surgery is the definitive treatment for permanent elimination of platysmal bands and is often part of my strategy in neck lifting. The strategy is threefold, as shown in the before/after photo: (i) disconnect the platysma at its base to prevent bowstringing, (ii) tighten the midline and lateral edges upwards to reorient the muscle into an angled contour, thus creating an ideal neck line and defining the jawline, and (iii) offload the platysma by deep neck sculpting (see my prior IG Live reel on this). This triple threat approach offers 100% correction, permanent results and is the most modern approach to neck lifting.

✈️ All the way from Omaha, Nebraska! I’ve truly enjoyed taking care of this lovely patient in her mid-40s who saw the early signs of aging approaching. She was particularly bothered by a lax jawline and “platysma bands”, overactive neck muscle threads that were worsened by under chin liposuction that she had done elsewhere. In fact, liposuction should never have been done in such a slender person as she.
•••
I did a “deep plane” face and neck lift with platysmotomy (cutting the platysma muscle) to counteract tight platysma bands that were evident at rest and while speaking. Platysmaplasty (tightening of the platysma muscle) defined her jawline and restored her striking features. 🔥 Fat grafting softened her features and restored volume to her midface, under eyes, temples and lips and a small touch up of her nose slimmed the shape.
•••
The average age range for a first facelift is mid- to late forties when early aging changes begin to be bothersome. Since tissue quality is excellent, deep plane facelifts are more effective with greater longevity of results as compared to thinned tissues in older folks. Also, face lift at a younger age means that she can now enjoy her natural results for many years to come! 💯

IG Live! Lower Face Aesthetics, all you need to know and more 🫶🏻

Male lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting and midface lift give a natural refresh for the eyes and all through hidden incisions inside the lower eyelids, the so-called “transconjunctival” approach.
•••
This gentleman lamented looking tired and aged despite a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. Under light anesthesia I made an incision on the inside of his eyelids, dissected just below the orbicularis oculi muscle (“pre-septal” plane) to the eye socket bone (“inferior orbital rim”) to then created a pocket on the bone surface into which I transposed (shifted) the bulging fat pads. But before transposing fat I lifted the deep cheek fat and anchored it to the eye socket bone with bone tunnels. Then I draped the eyelid fat over the eye socket rim like moving a hill into the adjacent valley. One of the subtleties that I endeavor to create an full tarsal platform (the enhanced volume along the eye lash margin). I also did fat grafting to blend the lid-cheek junction and restore volume loss.
•••
Results are permanent as anatomy is now optimized and he’ll continue agine but from a better set point. 💯

❤️this top to bottom refresh for my lovely patient. She felt that she looked tired, older and she wanted not only to restore but also the “best version” of herself. My plan for her was a combination of rejuvenation from lower lids down to her neck, and stunning optimization for her eyes. Combining deep plane face and neck lift with gland reduction (deep neck sculpting), lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition and fat grafting are a powerful combination to rewind the clock. Endoscopic lateral brow lift and canthoplasty fox eye lift transforms the eyes, giving her the best of both worlds.
•••
What’s interesting is that she didn’t need a traditional brow elevation or upper blepharoplasty, she just needed a better shape to both. This is the difference between traditional rejuvenation versus optimization, the latter requiring more artistic vision for what looks stunning, not only more youthful. Subtle differences make all the difference!

🚴‍♀️ The @ridebellringer Ride is an epic cycling fundraiser hosted by Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and this year was my first time riding! Around 1200 cyclists and 400 volunteers participated, many of whom were cancer survivors and family of cancer victims.
•••
We started on the Georgetown campus in downtown DC and pushed off the line around 7:30am. The air was a bit chilly but I was well prepared with layers with my awesome Assos windbreaker and Gore full-length bib tights (highly recommend them for high quality gear). I chose the 50 mile distance and finished in 3 hours, a pretty good time for me. We ended up on a beautiful farm in Poolesville and enjoyed a delicious lunch, good cheer and even a post-ride massage!
•••
I rode for my parents and mother-in-law who died of cancer, and also for all my cancer patients who I’ve taken care of over the course of my career. Overall it was an epic event and a great cause to support. If you feel inclined to donate to crushing cancer then go to https://bellringer.org/
You can also specify the rider you’re supporting (me!) on Team Immunotherapy led by Dr. Michael Atkins! 🙏🫶🏻

“Facial optimization” IG Live! Here I discuss fat grafting, skeletal augmentation and deep plane lifts, pros and cons, how these techniques work and why they can fail, and how these can synergize together to optimize aesthetic results.
•••
Fat grafting is a great technique for subtle volume restoration, surface smoothing and improvement in skin texture and tone, but it must be used judiciously for the “right” facial anatomy. By “right” I mean “positive or neutral vector morphology,” ie when the cheekbone and eye socket bone are projected beyond the surface of the eyeball, whereas fat grafting alone often fails in patients with negative vector bone structure. This is due to the the fact that if fat cells become too crowded when injected in larger volumes, deprived of oxygen and nutrients they will die off. Also excessive fat causes a ballooning effect that looks unnatural. Implant augmentation of the midface is most effective though I often combine with fat to ensure smooth and blended contours.
•••
Deep plane lifts are important to correct facial tissue droop but without adequate bone support these techniques also are limited. So combining techniques artfully and skillfully achieves synergy.

❤️ this confidence boost for my beautiful patient. Here she’s 3.5 months post-op after the 2nd of two stages of facial optimization. About 2.5 years ago she came to me as she felt that her lower face was too square, wide and masculine appearing, and that her nose was foreshortened, drooped and blunted at the tip despite two prior open rhinoplasties (done elsewhere). All this was worsened by retruded or concave maxillary base which shortened her columella-labial (nose-lip) angle.
•••
In the first stage I did v-line jaw slimming (mandibular angle osteotomy) and chin narrowing (by cortical shaving) through hidden incisions inside her mouth. I also did revision closed rhinoplasty with rib graft which I also used for maxillary/pyriform augmentation to correct her concave upper lip crease. She looked phenomenal but felt that with reduction of her jaw, her lower face, jawline and neck tissues were more lax than she wanted. So 3.5 months ago I did her 2nd stage deep plane lower face/neck lift with deep neck sculpting to sharpen her jawline and neck line.
•••
What stands out are her eyes and lips, though note that her 👄 have native untouched volume since I did nothing directly to them. Rather, her 👁️ 👁️ and 👄 stand out more because her facial frame and nose are more petite. Also, augmenting her central maxilla helped to rotate her nose slightly up and corrected her concave columellar-labial angle, enhancing her lips even further.
•••
This is a perfect example of how small adjustments to adjacent facial regions impact the appearance of the central face where we focus our attention. These are the principles related to proportion and the “Yarbus Triangle” about which I’ve posted before. Facial optimization is the art of using different techniques to bring the best version to life! 💯

I always enjoy time with my beloved @drnoellesherber with whom I’ve been so fortunate to build my practice. I often tell patients that I wouldn’t have enjoyed half of my success without her brilliance, love and support. This weekend she was an invited expert at the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery @asdsskinmd the most prestigious national dermatology meeting, and this time I played “conference hubby”!
•••
Since the inception of our dual practice @sherberandrad we’ve been laser focused on providing science-backed, results-oriented treatments and surgical solutions for our patients. This means that we have never performed nor offered the myriad “fad,” pseudo-scientific and unproven treatments, devices and methods that are popularized on social media. We’re one of the only practices nationwide offering @thermageflx the only RF-based skin tightening device with feedback-control energy modulation, a key differentiator from RF devices that blindly deliver energy and largely don’t work.
•••
Our world class skincare boutique curated by Dr. Sherber features best-in-class products from the world’s best brands such as @lamer @drbarbarasturm @naturabisse and @westmanatelier . Unlike the all-too-popular “your name here” products that do more to your wallet than your skin, or Sephora where you’re swallowed up by a sea of products regardless of ingredient efficacy or quality, our products are sourced from storied global brands with proven track records and billions of investment in R&D that inform their formulations.
•••
Since day 1️⃣ we’ve never engaged in paid advertising as we’ve believed in building our reputations on results, excellence and “word-of-mouth” referrals. Our practice is not a churn-and-burn mill — you see the doctor, not a representative, and we prioritize giving each patient our time and attention. Finally, our patients often benefit from our collaboration synergizing surgical and non-surgical treatments to deliver optimal total results. 💯
