Maggie, PA-C

My husband and I are off on a quick little trip to Big Sur + Carmel by the Sea (without our littles 🥹) to celebrate our anniversary a month late!

I actually have a moment to myself on the plane to post these little gems 😂 We don’t take normal smiling family photos almost ever, so enjoy the candid chaos that is our family photoshoot with three kids. 🤍

I’ll definitely be missing these sweethearts, but I’m also really looking forward to a few days of just the two of us.

I may be a little slower to respond while we’re away, but I’ll be back in the office Thursday! 🤍

Spent Wednesday at the Belotero Roadshow learning and playing with the newest additions to the Belotero family 🤍

I’m always trying to learn more about ALL the product options available so I can choose what makes the most sense for each individual patient. These two “new” Belotero products have actually been used in Europe for 20+ years and Canada for 10+ years, so it was so fun getting to play with the gels and learn more about their rheology and how they behave in tissue.

Fun fact: Belotero was actually the very first filler I ever had injected into my own face… in my under eyes!

They also had a fun color analysis booth and told me I’m a Warm Autumn 🍂 I’m not 100% convinced though 😂 What do you guys think?!

And please enjoy the battle wound on my nose that I apparently acquired in my sleep while laying next to all my babies 😂

Filler isn’t always about anti aging, bigger lips, or adding volume to your cheeks.

People seek out filler for all kinds of reasons.

Years ago, this patient was attacked by a dog she was caring for, leaving her with a significant indented scar on her chin. Her filler journey originally began as a way to improve the appearance of that scar.

Over time, it evolved into treating the chin more as a whole. With some added structure and projection, we’ve been able to improve the contour of her chin while still keeping her looking completely like herself.

Sometimes filler isn’t about looking younger or different. It’s about improving something that has bothered you for years. 🤍

I love how this turned out 🤍 We added a little more structure to her cheeks and soft, natural volume to her lips. Everything feels more balanced, but she still looks completely like herself.

Thinking about filler but not sure what you need? Come see me and we’ll make a plan together. Call or text 312.607.9969 to book.

Our sweet Kathy and her husband welcomed their beautiful baby boy, Theo! 🤴

I got to visit them recently, and he is just absolutely precious. Anyone who knows Kathy knows how thoughtful and caring she is and how much attention she gives to everything she does. I already know she is going to be the most amazing mom, and Theo is so lucky to have her.

We miss her so much at REIGN, but we are so happy she gets to enjoy this special time with her family. She will be back on the schedule in late October, and we cannot wait to have her back! 💛🖤

Tricia was VERY clear with me 😂 She wanted her lips to look like they used to, not like she had filler.

I focused on restoring some of the shape and definition she had lost over time, especially around the lip border where her liner and lipstick had started to bleed. I also treated some volume loss in her forehead and temples, which wasn’t even really on her radar at first.

Sometimes it’s the areas you’re not noticing that make such a difference in the overall result.

A decade since this day. 🤍
10 years, 3 babies, and a whole life we couldn’t have imagined yet.
