Training and board certification

• Board certification, as the site states it: "double board certified by both the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and the American Board of Plastic Surgery" (bio).
• Assistant professor, University of Texas Southwestern; teaches residents and fellows plastic surgery of the face, nose and breast.
• Editorial Board, Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
• The facelift page states he was trained in the Deep Plane High SMAS Composite facelift "from the surgeon who created the approach"; that surgeon is not named (facelift).
• Medical school, residency, fellowship and years in practice: not stated on the site.

Facelift and neck lift work

• Deep Plane High SMAS Composite facelift. Named as his signature facelift. He elevates limited skin to reach the deeper tissues of the cheeks and jowls, treats face and neck as one unit, removes excess skin and places tension in the deeper layer (facelift).
• Fat grafting. Used with the facelift; the page states the High SMAS uses the patient's own fat, so grafting is limited.
• Mini facelift. The page states substantial facelift results require similar incisions and downtime regardless of the "mini" label.
• Neck lift. Neck liposuction alone for fat with good skin elasticity; for loose skin, an incision under the chin to repair the neck muscles plus an incision hidden at the ear to remove skin; the page states results last 10 to 15 years (neck-lift).
