My lovely patient is now 6 months out from a transformative journey to natural results. ✨ I did an endoscopic brow lift, gentle canthal lift, lower blepharoplasty fat transposition, and midface + orbital rim augmentation using HD porous polyethylene implants—along with refined fat grafting for smooth, natural transitions.
•••
For 4 years, she tried fillers hoping for structure and lift—but instead felt her face becoming puffy, swollen, and unnatural. After consulting with 8 different surgeons, she found her way to me. What resonated wasn’t a quick fix—but a lasting solution based on enhanced bone structure, optimal aesthetics, natural results and safety.🎯
•••
Porous polyethylene is the most biocompatible implant material available, with 50+ years of safety data and successful use in millions of patients worldwide. It integrates seamlessly with facial tissues for durable, natural support and very low risk of infection, and zero risk of bone erosion unlike silicone or other solid implants.💯
•••
By restoring bone structure and gently lifting tissues, we achieved results that enhance her beauty—not mask it. No puffiness. No filler fatigue. Just elegant, harmonious rejuvenation. I’m so happy for her that she now feels confident, refreshed, and—most importantly—like herself again.🫶🏻

Honored to join the faculty of the NYC Facelift & Rhinoplasty Master Course, thanks to the gracious invitation from @drkassir and @drsheilakassir This gathering of global experts in facial aesthetics was truly inspiring. 💯
•••
I had the opportunity to share my approach to deep plane facelift and deep structural necklift —techniques that can refresh beautifully, naturally and with minimal evidence of surgery. I also lectured on midfacial skeletal augmentation for patients with negative vector orbital anatomy, highlighting the importance of structural balance in achieving harmony around the eyes and midface. Finally, I spoke about branding as a reflection of core values: striving for excellence, prioritizing patient safety, and practicing gratitude for the privilege of this work. Consistently delivering exceptionally safe and beautiful results for my patients are what drives me every day. 🎯
•••
What made this course exceptional was its cross-disciplinary collaboration, uniting plastic surgeons and ENT facial plastic surgeons for a rich exchange of state-of-the-art techniques and aesthetic philosophies. Grateful to be part of such a forward-thinking, collaborative experience and excited for the future of aesthetics.🙏🫶🏻

Sometimes a simple selfie will do.😊 Over a decade ago, Sherber+Rad was born from a shared vision—and a shared journey. @drnoellesherber and I met serendipitously during our residency training at Johns Hopkins. Patient care brought us together when a cardiac surgery patient needed both dermatologic and plastic surgery care and we each happened to be consulting for our respective departments. That chance meeting sparked my interest (not hers initially, mind you), and our lives converged. ❤️ Love brought us together, and we realized we were both drawn to the pursuit of excellence, rigorous science, and the art of caring for others. That foundation led us to create a practice in the heart of Washington, D.C., built on those same values.
•••
We’ve never followed trends or fads. We’ve never engaged in paid advertising. And we’ve never strayed from our belief that real beauty comes from subtle, natural results grounded in evidence-based care and science-backed treatments. From D.C. to destinations around the world, our commitment remains the same: to deliver transformative, confidence-boosting outcomes that are natural and respect individuality.
•••
In recent years, we’ve faced the circle of life in the most profound way through the loss of all our parents. Their unwavering love and support have been the bedrock of our journey. Their legacy inspires us daily to uphold the highest standards in patient care and to honor the values they instilled in us.
•••
Sherber+Rad is our labor of love. And we’re so grateful to walk this journey with each of our patients.🫶🏻

🫶🏻She’s a medical professional, anesthesia expert and entrepreneur who traveled from the Midwest — and I was honored to help her achieve a refreshed, naturally youthful look. My bespoke plan for her was focused on natural refresh to include an endoscopic brow lift, subtle canthal release and lift, deep plane face and neck lift with deep neck sculpting, fat grafting, and upper and lower blepharoplasty. Just a few months later, she’s radiant — with no trace of surgery.
•••
🧠A truly natural facelift isn’t about doing more — it’s about knowing how much of each change to make. My lifts are always done in the deep plane — layer 4. Lifting here means preserving natural expression and allowing the face to age gracefully. Since . Lifting superficially can look unnaturally stretched and lose its hold quicker. This is why deep plane anatomy is so important for surgeons to understand and master.
•••
The artistry lies in mastering thousands of tiny nuances: the tension on a suture, the angle of lift, the way light moves across cheek contours and creating smoothness with fat grafting. Each subtle adjustment contributes to a result that must feel effortless, harmonious, and undetectably refined. From facial rejuvenation to optimization, surgery is never like ordering from an à la carte menu. Every surgical plan is tailored to the unique architecture of each face — because the best facelift is the one no one notices… just that you look refreshed and no one knows why.

Let’s talk mandible or your jawbone — the foundation of your lower face. The mandible is a ring-shaped bone with a body and angle that defines the jawline and supports the deep tissues of the lower face and neck. It also houses the mental nerve, which I always protect during surgery to preserve sensation to the lower lip. 👄
•••
Jaw and chin contouring is about bringing proportion and optimal harmony to a face that soft tissue treatments alone cannot do. For patients seeking a slimmer jawline, I may recommend V-line contouring to reduce the angle and taper the lower face. For those needing more structure and projection, I often enhance the chin with porous polyethylene implants for stable, natural-looking projection that can be combined with a deep plane face and neck lift. A well-positioned chin provides an anchor ⚓️ for the jawline and enhances tissue redraping — bringing harmony to the midface, jaw, and neck. Chin augmentation also works synergistically with a deep plane neck lift: added chin projection, along with setback of the hyoid bone (which defines the neck angle) from the neck lift, can effectively lengthen the jaw and neckline — but in a subtle, natural way that doesn’t look overdone. Structure and harmony are the foundations of natural rejuvenation. 🎯💯

🧠 FaceOps: Your brain notices beauty in a blink — literally. In just 100 milliseconds, we instinctively scan a face for 4️⃣ subconscious cues of attractiveness: symmetry, supra-averageness, neoteny, and sexual dimorphism.
•••
Neoteny evokes softness and youth — think large eyes, round cheeks, full lips, and a small nose. These baby-like traits are universally appealing, yet not gendered. They signal innocence, vitality, and warmth.
•••
At the other end of the spectrum is sexual dimorphism — the features that distinguish feminine from masculine beauty. I often refer to “hyperdimorphism” when these gendered traits are enhanced beyond average: ▫️ In women, midface augmentation, brow lift, and canthal (eye corner) lifting can make eyes more inviting. ▫️ In men, sculpting the jaw and chin, or deepening tear troughs, creates a more angular, fit and genetically advantaged appearance.
•••
Neotenizing procedures like fat grafting, lip lift, rhinoplasty, and jaw contouring shift proportions toward youthful fullness and softness — often aligning with the unspoken goals patients express. Though subtle and complex, these beauty codes supersede our logic centers and are read instantly by our primal brain. The output is a judgment of attractiveness and, like it or not, influences how we perceive others.
•••
When I design a facial optimization plan, I consider where a patient falls — or wants to fall — on the spectrum between neoteny and hyperdimorphism, in harmony with symmetry and proportion. This is the essence of FaceOps: a curated, multidimensional approach to enhancing natural beauty while honoring individuality.

🫶🏻I’m so happy for my beautiful patient who traveled from the Midwest for surgery. She’s an medical professional and anesthesia expert, and I’m honored she chose me to do her endoscopic brow lift, subtle canthoplasty, deep plane face and neck lift with deep neck sculpting, fat grafting, upper and lower blepharoplasty. Just a few months out she’s looking naturally refreshed without a trace of surgery.
•••
Facelifting is about restoring, not changing — repositioning tissues to lift and smooth without ever looking pulled or “done.” All my lifts are performed in the “deep plane,” referred to anatomically as layer 4, which allows muscles to glide to and fro as we animate, emote and express ourselves through facial movements. Lifting in this deeper plane without disturbing the overlying skin, carries the overlying facial fat that is so precious to preserve. Elevating in the deep layer 4 preserves expression, holds the lift naturally, and allows the face to age beautifully over time.
•••
Safe surgery, natural results, happy patients — always my top priorities. Every plan is fully customized to your anatomy and your vision. Grateful to her and for every patient for trusting me to deliver beautiful, undetectable restorations. The best facelift is one you’ll never notice.💯🎯

The deep plane face and neck lift is one of the most advanced and powerful techniques in facial rejuvenation. It’s more complex than traditional lifts because it requires a deep understanding of the intricate three-dimensional anatomy of the face — and the skill to adapt the surgery to the unique structure of each patient.🎯
•••
One of the keys to achieving natural, long-lasting results is carefully releasing important facial ligaments — specifically the zygomatic, masseteric, and cervical retaining ligaments. These ligaments act like anchor points that hold the facial tissues in place. By thoughtfully releasing them, I’m able to fully mobilize and reposition the deeper layers of the face and neck, lifting the midface, jawline, and neck tissues as one continuous unit rather than just pulling on the skin. 🔑
•••
This approach allows for a true vertical lift that restores youthful contours without creating a tight or “operated” look. While I follow a consistent surgical plan, every deep plane lift I perform is customized to the patient’s natural anatomy, respecting their unique facial structure and expressions to achieve the most beautiful and authentic result. 💯

Lower blepharoplasty fat repositioning is one of my favorite procedures because of its unrivaled power to refresh the eyes.👁️ Lower eyelid bags are caused by bulging orbital fat and while most surgeons remove them, I choose to move them instead. For this gentleman, I used a hidden incision inside the lower eyelid to access the bulging orbital fat. Instead of cutting it out, I transposed the fat into the tear trough—like moving a hill into a valley—to smooth the under-eye contour and soften the transition between the lid and the cheek. Although his eyesocket bone is quite set back (called negative vector) and implants could have enhanced his results further, he and I decided to optimize with tissue sculpting techniques. Orbital fat pads have their own blood supply and so can reliably volumize deficient tear troughs especially in negative vector anatomy like his.
•••
💉 I also brightened his eyes with a subtle endoscopic brow lift through the temples and fat grafting to blend the lower eyelid into the midface, outer cheekbone, and temple—creating a smooth, natural transition without sharp shadows or hollows. Recovery is straightforward, with only mild discomfort and bruising which requires a couple of weeks to wait out. At 1 year postop his eyes now reflect his energy and warm personality. 💫

Facelift scars are a common concern amongst patients but generally shouldn’t be. The key to minimizing scars is assessment of skin excess which determines scar length and placement, and tensionless incision closures which requires total skin flap release through a deep plane lift.💯
•••
Younger patients who have minimal excess skin in spite of neck fullness usually can avoid long scars because their problem is more about sculpting deep structures rather than removing excess skin. However for most folks, facelifting involves ligament release, lifting and redraping of excess skin in an upward diagonal direction. Since we cannot have skin bunching around the ears, for those with excess, the extra skin must be removed in front of, and behind the ears.
•••
Meticulous incision placement is key and involves following the natural curves, hills and valleys of the ear, starting at the top from the helical root and curving around to the tragus where I place the incision behind the little tragus cartilage so that it is well hidden from view, then extends around the earlobe, along the post auricular crease, and then fading into the back neck hair.
•••
Facelift in men can be challenging due to wearing short hair and sideburns which often require a more vertical lift, rather than diagonal lift as in women. Although scars can be quite long, length is the least important factor. Rather, a tensionless skin redraping and incision closure are crucial which is why high level facelift involves muscle-lifting, so called deep plane surgery. These techniques demand the highest level of skill and artistry. 🎯
