My Favorite Client Transformation Stories
My co-worker had always desired a fuller bottom lip. She also had asymmetry on the top left portion of her lip. Using less than one syringe of filler, we were able to create perfect symmetry in the top lip and give her a more pouty, full bottom lip. She was thrilled. She said again and again: “I am obsessed with my lips now!” Those kind of transformations are the best part of my job!
My Greatest Challenge
Convincing a sun worshipper that they can’t have nice skin AND a tan.
What I Love Most About My Work
I love the people I work with—and I love my patients. I enjoy getting to know my patient’s story, whether she is ‘getting ready’ for a class reunion or a wedding. After 13 years at The Skin Center, I’ve experienced many special events and occasions with my patients. Many patients look to me for advice, but we develop a plan together. I enjoy watching my patients getting younger, every year.
