Dr. Richard Marn is a board certified anesthesiologist with over fourteen years of experience. He received his undergraduate degree from Washington University and his medical degree from the University of Hawaii School of Medicine. He completed his anesthesia residency at New York University followed by a subspecialty anesthesia fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Marn was an Attending Anesthesiologist at Mt. Sinai Medical Center before joining our practice.

Dr. Amit Patel is a board certified anesthesiologist with over ten years of experience. He received his undergraduate degree from Johns Hopkins University and his medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He completed his anesthesia residency at SUNY Downstate and followed this with an anesthesia fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. He received a Master’s in Public Health from Harvard University. Dr. Patel was an Attending Anesthesiologist at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital before joining our practice.

Our anesthesiologists have adapted standard hospital anesthesia techniques to be more compatible with the aesthetic surgery patient. Both doctors value their close working relationship with Dr. Hidalgo and believe it to be superior to the typical arrangement in hospitals where anesthesiologists rotate between many surgeons.

Our anesthesiologists will review your medical history and laboratory results prior to the day of your procedure. You will have a detailed phone consultation with one of them to review the specifics of your medical history and answer your questions. Our anesthesiologists are sensitive to any prior experiences you may have had and tailor their technique to provide a safe and pleasant anesthetic experience.

“Deep plane” has come to be more of a marketing term than an accurate descriptor of what facelift technique is all about. The SMAS layer is always tightened by facelift surgeons and mobilizing it by any technique means going under it, hence entering a “deep plane”. The trademark “deep plane lift” means lifting the skin and SMAS together as a unit and releasing all of the ligaments in the face to completely mobilize it. As this case illustrates, not everyone needs that. Moreover, not separating the skin and SMAS can cause bunching in front of the ear that requires a sideburn and temple scar to remedy the issue. Pure SMAS techniques separate skin and SMAS so that each can be moved in different directions to avoid skin bunching. Moreover, SMAS techniques offer a range of options from those that release “all” of the ligaments, just like the classic deep plane, to those that tighten the SMAS only where needed to just correct jowls, like this case.  SMAS techniques can therefore be tailored to individual anatomy whereas classic deep plane lifts apply the same solution to every patient. All of that said, surgeons have their own preferences and all of these techniques can produce great results.

Upper eyelids are very straightforward. Lower eyelids, in contrast, are highly variable and often require a combination of procedures. These include fat removal, fat repositioning to soften circles (both done from an incision behind the eyelid), skin removal (outside incision), chemical peel for fine lines, and sometimes tightening the eyelid itself when droopy. In any event surgery takes about 2 hours and recovery is largely complete by 2 weeks.  Discomfort is minimal.

Pleased to be included in the annual Newsweek national rankings of best plastic surgeons.  True validation that one can be an expert in more than one specialized area!  I have always believed that the technical aspects of different procedures are subordinate to a well developed aesthetic vision.

Not mentioned is that the hip-to-hip scar is a trade-off for the procedure benefits. While prominent early on these scars keep improving. By 5 years they are often barely perceptible. Abdominoplasty is a big procedure for sure but has a high satisfaction rate. Revisions and “touch-ups” are rarely indicated.
