Procedures I'm known for
Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping
Rhinoplasty is the hardest procedure to perform in all of plastic surgery. It involves precise 3D modifications to change the form and function of the nose. My specialized training in facial plastic surgery makes me uniquely qualified to reshape the nose. I was trained by prominent rhinoplasty surgeons, including a top revision rhinoplasty expert. I’m now considered one of the top rhinoplasty surgeons in Chicago. I performed 308 rhinoplasty procedures last year, putting me in the top 1% of facial plastic surgeons internationally. My forte is to tailor each nose to the patient, so that it matches their face, retains many of its natural features, and preserves their ethnicity. Computer imaging gives patients a chance to preview possibilities, to allow for the necessary personalization and help guide me during the surgery. I also try to minimize recuperation with advances in nutraceuticals and techniques that allow many patients to return to work after just one week.
Face and Neck Lifts
Not all facelifts are the same. My goal with patients who seek face and neck rejuvenation is to restore their appearance, so they look more like their former selves. While most physicians use a traditional skin and SMAS approach, this technique fails to lift and release the most critical structures, including the untethered platysma muscle. By sliding this muscle back into a more youthful position, patients can see natural yet powerful results in their faces and necks. When performing a facelift, I hide incisions along the hairline and natural creases of the face, and I put the tension on the deeper structures of the face, instead of the incision line, which maximizes healing and avoids obvious scars. I like to couple this technique with advanced nutraceuticals and often other adjunctive procedures to create a comprehensive approach to face and neck rejuvenation.
