Rhinoplasty

Surgical rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for improved aesthetics and function. Dr. Kay combines artistic skill with medical expertise to address structural concerns. Patients enjoy enhanced symmetry and a harmonious facial profile with lasting results.

I ordered this thinking it would be a good size container to last me several months. I was really shocked, thinking they sent me a travel size instead. It is no wider than two pencils put together and is very small. Very, very small. And for that I paid $75.75. It was $68 plus $7.75 shipping. A lip gloss is MUCH bigger. Please be careful, it is more container than it is actual product. It won't last me more than 2 weeks. All you are doing is making the rich richer. There's probably no more than five or $6 worth of product in here. I recommend not buying and going to a reputable,

LOWER FACE LIPS. One syringe of filler added the definition and volume that my small lips wanted. I chose Juvederm and it made that 1 syringe go a long way. Back today at the office for Radiese on MID-FACE CHEEKBONES. To sculpt cheekbone structure and add contour Slim the face, & lift lower face heaviness.
slowly but surely work on my beauty plan :)

I just turned 50 & decided it was time to look into getting some filler for lines & wrinkles that I could see forming around my mouth. I'd been hesitant to look into this before because I was scared it would be painful or I wouldn't like the results. Dr Kay is an expert! She used Revanesse to fill in my lines & even gave me her signature "lip flip." I had minor swelling & bruising, but no pain for recovery. I really love how it turned out, I will definitely be working with Dr Kay to keep the wrinkles away. She also has her own skin care products that are fantastic

No respect for patients time. The Dr is so greedy that she will continuously pack in patients every day and runs over 1-2 hours late each time. I personally do not want to go to anyone that has zero respect for my time and instead would prefer to just make more money. And she's increased her prices by 30-40%. Find someone that is not as greedy.

Dr. Kay is an amazing doctor. I had the liquid rhinoplasty done and all I can say is wow! I had a bump on the top of my nose which she was able to even out. The staff is very professional, informative and most important kind. If I could rate the entire experience a 10 I would!

DO NOT TRUST DR KAY WITH YOUR FACE. I went in for just half a syringe of lip filler and she said I should get a full syringe because half a syringe wouldnt even make a difference. I trusted her opinion since I saw her amazing advertising but now I completely regret this. Im not even including how she made me wait well over an hour to be seen and kept telling me what other kinds of work from her I should get done. She went way too fast in injecting my lips and didnt even stop to give me a break or ask if the pain was okay. After seeing my lips I noticed they were very bumpy and she told

On November 17, 2021, I went to have filler done on the lower half of my face and lips because of the loss of volume due to aging. I am 62. Dr Kay used Revanesse today. As you will see below...picture #1 was taken in her office while I was being numbed, picture #2 was taken when I got home about 1/2 hour after I left her office. Obviously, she is an amazing artist! She educates you along the way. Dr. Kay has restored a more youthful, natural look in one appointment, imagine visiting her regularly. I look and feel younger already! Her staff makes you feel comfortable and they are simply lovely
