When the Surgeon Becomes the Patient — Part 1

One of the most common questions I’ve received since sharing my journey is: 

“What technique did Dr. Aston use?” 

On postop day 4, I sat down with @doctoraston to answer that question together!

The truth is, there is no single “best” facelift. There is only the best operation for the patient’s anatomy. Many people today hear terms like deep plane, composite facelift, high SMAS, or SMASectomy on IG and assume one technique is universally superior. But surgery isn’t driven by trends—it is driven by anatomy, experience & sound judgment

@doctoraston explains that my anterior SMAS was exceptionally thin, making a composite or traditional deep plane dissection less favorable in my particular case. Instead, he performed a High SMAS facelift, allowing him to achieve an elegant, natural repositioning, respecting my tissue characteristics & preserving vascularity.

As surgeons, we don’t operate on hashtags, we operate on patients. 

One of my favorite moments in this video is when Dr. Aston holds my 3rd grade school photo & points out that my eyes still resemble that little girl. We also included my senior portrait & a photo from my fellowship days when we posed together for the cover of Italian Vogue. Those images remind us that facial rejuvenation isn’t about creating a new face—it’s about restoring the one that has always been yours

As both his former fellow & now his patient, watching him analyze my anatomy & explain his decision-making was reminder of what separates a great technician from a true master surgeon. Decades of experience, thoughtful judgment, meticulous execution

This is why we made this video for our online audience: not to sell you on one “best” technique, but to show the best technique is the one matched to your anatomy — by a surgeon who can actually read it and adapt in real time. That’s the difference between a good outcome and a great one, and it’s the education patients deserve before they ever book a consult.

Every facelift should be individualized. The operation should fit the patient—not the latest trend.

Postop Day 5 ✨ Recovery mode, but make it glowy

Not going to lie — day 5 is humbling. But feeling so grateful for the precision & talent of my surgeon Dr.  Sherrell Aston 🙏 The results speak for themselves & I couldn’t be in better hands. Even though I go through my perioperative skincare & makeup in this reel, don’t be fooled! It was my plastic surgeon’s precision with his scalpel and his exact right plane of skin & tissue dissection that enabled success. 

My mind compares surgeons & pilots. I want my pilot to have ALOT of hours! Surgeons & pilots are compared to each other because both work in high-stress environments where small errors can have huge consequences. Both must stay calm under pressure, master complex problems & be the team leader!

An analogy here is the luck or fate of having the very experienced pilot on US Airways flight 1549, Captain Sulley Sullenberger who landed on the Hudson River.  Sulley successfully executed a tail-first, level-pitch landing, distributing the impact force & preventing the aircraft from breaking apart or cartwheeling. Dr. Aston did the same thing to my beaten up SMAS and thinned out skin four days ago!! 🫣

But on a less high stakes note- my skincare rotation: 
Prequel Skin Multi-Quench Plumping Hydration Serum 💦 

Co2Lift by Lumisque for oxygen to the skin!

ASCE Exosome Mist and Pro Cream from Seoul, South Korea by ExoCoBio

Cremarie strawberry, watermelon squalane & ceramides for your skin 🍓 

@magicmoleculeinc Skin Spray (my ride-or-die for cleaning & calming everything down) 💧 

Meso-Wharton P199 Post-Treatment Mask by @abglabglobal 🧬 infused with Wharton’s Jelly 

I Dew Care Dew Not Disturb Korean Rice Sleeping Mask 🍚 

 Waleda Skin Food - thick body cream for crepey skin 

 CeraVe Baby Wash & Shampoo (gentle enough for sensitive post-op skin & hair with sutures in it!) 🧴 

💄 A little concealer makeup coverage to feel human again: 

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Concealer + Wonder Glow Primer 😍 LOVE! 

@amuse_global cushion 
Bad-ass dewy Korean concealer SPF 38 

Sulwhasoo lip balm in Terra 💄 

Bactroban prescription ointment (Mupirocin) for incision lines; good for health care workers who may be carriers or come in contact w/ MRSA
