Dr. Yune performs what he likes to call “botox-assisted face lift and eyelid surgery.” Injecting botox to the glabella, crows feet, DAO (depressor muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down), and platysmal bands in the neck, aids by minimizing movement in these areas, allowing for enhanced and longer-lasting results. “Ironically, Just When She […]
“By Failing to Prepare, You are Preparing to Fail”
All Dr. Yune’s patients receive a thorough and informative hour-long preoperative teaching to prepare them for the procedure(s) they will be having. As the main emphasis is on safety, patients are required to obtain a medical clearance from their primary care physician to ensure they are healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia. For patients having […]
“If You Invest in Beauty, It will Remain with You All the Days of Your Life”
At my consultation, Dr. Yune gave me his recommendations for my aging face. He proposed a facelift with SMJ liposuction, upper bilateral blepharoplasty, electo-fractionated resurfacing under my eyes, rhinoplasty, and a breast augmentation. Since my body metabolizes HA dermal fillers rapidly, he suggested advanta implants for my nasolabial folds as a permanent solution to the […]
“I’ll Have What She’s Having”
Before undergoing any surgical procedure, I wanted to do the absolute most I could to prepare my skin/face/body so that I would have the best possible outcome. I did not want to have a facelift that would pull wrinkled, sun-damaged neck skin up on my face for all the world to see. I wanted the […]
“Fasten Your Seatbelts”
I have the good fortune to work for a truly great facial plastic surgeon, who is highly trained and who has a unique approach to surgery, utilizing tried and true methods and innovative techniques he has developed over his 20 + years of practice. His emphasis on quality and his refusal to compromise on safety, […]
“Changing My Life… One ThermiVa treatment at a time”
ThermiVa and Missy are the best and have changed my life! After seeing a urologist and undergoing physical therapy for incontinence issues, I was looking at bladder surgery in order to get relief. I am in my 60s with autoimmune and hormone challenges which create vaginal laxity, dryness and the bladder urgency. Even laughing would […]
“The Distance Between Dreams and Reality is Called Action”
We’ve all seen the photos of celebrity plastic surgery nightmares. No one wants to end up looking worse than they did before the surgery. But how can you be sure? Do your research. Find a doctor who is fellowship-trained. Doctors coming out of a plastic surgery residency may not have performed a single facelift or […]
“To Hell with Growing Old Gracefully!”
So what do you do if you never used sunscreen until you were 30, you washed your face with Neutrogena for years, and your only vitamin C was your morning glass of orange juice? Well, one day you wake up in your forties and your pores are huge, you have crinkles at the corner of […]
“It’s Not a Short Term Diet; It’s a Long Term Lifestyle Change”
Everyone should strive to eat a healthy diet, but let’s face it…five servings of fruits and vegetables daily? Not in my world! A few years ago, I began taking a multi-vitamin, EPA-DHA fish oil, vitamin D3, biotin, a probiotic, turmeric, resveratrol, and an organic super fruits and greens powdered mixture from Metagenics. I also get […]
“My Name is Dawn, and I’m Addicted to Skincare”
I used to think that it was enough to wash my face twice a day and wear sunscreen if I was going to be in the sun. What more do you need? Apparently, a lot more. I was introduced to medical grade skincare products in my new job. I always thought all cleansers and moisturizers […]
