Voluma Long Lasting Filler
Our practice was among the first in San Diego to introduce Voluma, a new injectable filler from Allergan, makers of Botox. Voluma is FDA approved for 2 year duration of action and is possibly the best midfacial filler on the market. It is similar in structure to Juvederm and Restylane: Voluma is comprised of hyaluronic […]
Is the Eyelid Lift being replaced?
Injectable fillers such as restylane and juvederm are becoming more and more popular for rejuvenating the areas around the upper and lower eyelids. Common complaints pertaining to these areas include: excess skin, wrinkling or “crepiness” of the skin, and hollow areas both above and below the eyes. In the past, a patient’s only choice for […]
Bruising After Rhinoplasty
One of the most common questions patients ask at their rhinoplasty consultation is “Will I be bruised afterward?” The answer is usually “probably.” The chief cause of bruising is the osteotomy, or fine cuts that are made in the bones to reposition them. Not every patient requires osteotomies, however, and those patients generally have little […]
Facelift Recovery Period
For many patients considering facelift surgery or mini facelift at our San Diego office, one of their chief concerns is the recovery period or downtime. By using twilight sedation and performing the procedure in a precise and custom-tailored fashion, we generally limit recovery to one to two weeks. This may vary of course if additional […]

Making an already “good” nose into a “perfect” nose requires a great deal of experience and skill […]
Update on Botox and Dysport in San Diego
Botox and Dysport have now been competing head to head on the market for several months, and our San Diego patients have reported good results with the new botox competitor. In our practice, we have found that it takes approximately 3 units of Dysport to every 1 unit of Botox to achieve comparable results. Since […]
Maximizing Results from your Laser Treatment
Active FX and Total FX are two of our most popular San Diego skin rejuvenation procedures. The reasons for this are that these procedures are quick, involve minimal downtime (generally one week at the most) and are effective. Patients achieve often dramatic improvement in wrinkles, loose skin around the cheeks, eyes, and jowls, and acne […]
Lower Eyelid Rejuvenation with Filllers
While some patients truly have “bags” under their eyes which require surgical removal with a lower eyelid lift or blepharoplasty, others simply have a hollow look below their eyes that makes them look tired or older. This hollow area is called the nasojugal groove, and it forms in people with a certain bone structure predisposition […]
