You start to notice it in photos first — that soft puddling along the jawline, the loose skin that creases when you smile, and the fading definition between your lower face and neck. The angles that once felt sharp and sculpted now feel blurred. This patient was in the early stages of facial aging and wanted to restore a tighter, more refined jawline. Dr. John Burns performed a mini lower face and neck lift using a short scar technique, platysma muscle tightening, and deep plane SMAS stacking for a result that’s both natural and long-lasting. The goal isn’t to look different — it’s to look like yourself again.

Many women embrace the strength their bodies show through pregnancy, but that doesn’t mean they don’t miss the way they once felt in their skin. This patient, a mother of multiple children, experienced significant breast drooping (ptosis) after pregnancy and breastfeeding. With a ptosis grade between 2 and 3, a breast lift was necessary to restore her natural shape. To bring back lost volume, cleavage, and upper pole fullness, we placed a 310cc moderate profile smooth round implant — supported by an internal mesh bra to help maintain long-term lift and avoid bottoming out. The result: beautifully restored shape, balance, and confidence.

In her 50s, this patient felt vibrant and full of life — but the reflection in the mirror told a different story. Gravitational aging had taken a toll, and more conservative treatments could no longer keep up. Dr. John Burns performed a deep plane facelift and neck lift to reposition sagging soft tissue, restoring youthful contours in a natural, understated way. Eyelid rejuvenation removed excess skin that had weighed down her expression, while fat grafting to the midface replenished lost volume for a softer, fuller look. The result? A reflection that finally matches the woman she feels like inside — confident, refreshed, and deeply herself.

She came to Dr. Burns with a severe case of tuberous breast deformity—a condition that affects breast shape, size, and symmetry. Common characteristics include: 🔸 A wide gap between the breasts (often more than 1.5 inches) 🔸 Enlarged areolas 🔸 Narrow breast base 🔸 Downward-pointing nipples 🔸 Short distance from nipple to breast fold 🔸 Tube-like, oval, or triangular breast shape To correct this, Dr. Burns performed a specialized breast augmentation—a procedure that goes far beyond a standard implant placement. His approach included: ✨ A periareolar incision to minimize visible scarring ✨ Subglandular pocket placement for better control of shape ✨ Radial scoring of the breast tissue to release constriction bands and allow expansion ✨ Lowering of the inframammary fold to create a natural nipple-to-fold distance ✨ A breast implant to add volume and help the breast tissue reshape and spread over the implant This surgery is as much about restoring confidence as it is about aesthetics. For patients with tuberous breast deformity, the transformation can be truly life-changing. 💗

Dr. Burns answers a question many women face when their implants no longer match their body or lifestyle. If your implants feel too large, heavy, or simply not you anymore, you’re not alone—and you do have options. In this video, we explain when a lift may (or may not) be needed during implant downsizing, and how we approach creating natural, proportional results with care and understanding. We're seeing many women do an upgrade in their implants while going down in size. For those women, Motiva implants are a homerun.
