Christopher

As the manager of this established team, I’m responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of our practice. My top priority is to ensure that our patients receive top-notch care from their initial contact with our office to their final postoperative visit, and beyond. In addition to my work at the practice, I have a passion for expanding my skills and knowledge. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the culinary arts and aspire to be a classically trained chef.

My warm and caring spirit will put you at ease. I will assist you with everything from your initial consultation, to surgery scheduling, and any questions you may have concerning any procedures. When I have free time, I enjoy traveling throughout the world to new cultures.

I believe quality patient care begins with a smile and willingness to adapt to individual clients’ needs. I love sharing my sense of humor and gentle demeanor with patients to create the most relaxed experience possible from beginning to end. In my off hours you can find me at music events, watching new films, and cuddling with my two kittens, Gouda and Brie.

Coming from an intense academic medical center background I am thrilled to now focus my skills in the private practice setting. My goal is to ensure that your experience is one of a kind from the moment you walk in the door to your last postoperative visit. Among my free time favorites are paddle-tennis, making jewelry, and playing with my adorable wiener dog, Walter!

I joined the practice right out of nursing school. Although on the quiet side, maybe it was my intense focus that landed me the opportunity. I am constantly in the pursuit of perfection in carrying out my duties and my appetite to learn is huge. I devote these traits and a tireless work ethic to providing the best care for you.

I am known for my vibrant energy and dedication to patient care. My cheerful demeanor and genuine warmth help alleviate any apprehensions, ensuring that patients feel welcomed and supported throughout their journey. When I am not wearing my scrubs I love to be in the great outdoors, in the kitchen experimenting with new cuisine, or soaking up the sun on the beach volleyball court.

I embrace the Japanese Kaizen method, always striving to improve, even in the smallest ways. I apply this approach by thoughtfully and intentionally making adjustments to stay ahead of Dr. Hidalgo's needs as he works tirelessly to provide the best possible care. Beyond the operating room, I recently completed my first NYC Marathon and look forward to tackling many more miles and marathons in the future.

Deep plane” is much catchier moniker than “SMAS facelift” thereby contributing to its greater popularity as a descriptor. Nevertheless, both procedures are closely aligned, separated conceptually by the small but important differences presented here. However, facelift results are determined more by the skill and aesthetic sense of the surgeon as well as a given patient’s age and anatomy rather than the type of technique employed. Not covered here is the fact that there are multiple SMAS variations that can be tailored to a specific patient’s anatomy whereas deep plane technique is the same for every patient regardless of anatomical differences. More to come on that.

This is a common practice that should be avoided. Other misleading practices, whether intentional or not, include different lighting in the before and after images. Lighting from above casts shadows that often makes a condition appear worse compared to full frontal lighting. Facial expression is also important. Subjects should be shown in repose in both the before and after images. A slight smile in the after images always makes the result look better. Fortunately, the vast majority of surgeons are faithful in observing these principles as closely as possible.

Every new technique in plastic surgery goes through the zealot phase both because it is new and there is FOMO. “Over the muscle” breast augmentation is the latest example. It is heavily marketed by an implant manufacturer whose product is especially suited to this approach. Also, some surgeons looking for a differentiating niche embrace it enthusiastically. It definitely is a valuable addition to our tool box of techniques but more time is needed to appreciate not just its advantages but also its limitations
