• Member, American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (2007-present) and American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (2006-present).

Facelift and neck lift work

• Deep plane facelift. Incisions along the hairline and around the ear; the jawline and midface are addressed by releasing the facial ligaments so the SMAS can be repositioned; the page names the extended deep plane facelift, with full ligament release, as her preferred approach (deep plane facelift).
• Structural neck lift. Platysma muscles sewn together through a small incision under the chin, with removal of fat and glandular tissue; incisions behind the ear or hairline when skin excess is large (structural neck lift).
• Recovery, per the site. Swelling and bruising peak in the first week and usually diminish by weeks 2-3; refinement continues over 6 to 12 months (deep plane facelift). After neck lift: three visits in the first week; desk work and light activity after two weeks; full recovery about 4-6 weeks (structural neck lift).
• Galleries. None. The gallery page has no photos posted and points to Instagram.
• Cost. No prices published.
