Ruff Cuts with Dr. Ruff – Episode 2!
Dr. Ruff shares what he considers one of the most overlooked aspects of a great surgical result, and it doesn’t have much to do with the technical details.
It’s about how patients carry themselves after surgery, and why that shift matters just as much as the procedure itself.
If there’s a topic you’d like Dr. Ruff to cover in a future episode, feel free to leave a comment or DM us!

‼️ Why injector credentials matter, more than you think!
A patient came to us two days after receiving nose filler from a gynecologist. 🚩 After the treatment, her skin had turned dark and painful. She was told it was “just bruising” and advised to ice it, multiple times. ⚠️
Still concerned, she went to the ER. They told her the wait would be over 24 hours and that they weren’t equipped to treat her. Instead, they advised her to go to a plastic surgeon’s office. That’s when she found us.
By the time she arrived, she had signs of vascular occlusion - when filler blocks blood flow. 🚨 It’s a serious complication that requires urgent care to prevent permanent damage.
Our team acted fast:
🔹 Dr. Quan, former plastic surgery fellow, administered hyaluronidase to help restore blood flow
🔹Dr. Wang evaluated the tissue and is managing follow-up
🔹Deb, our practice administrator, contacted multiple hyperbaric oxygen therapy centers across the DMV and secured same-day HBO therapy to support healing
She’s now under our care, and we’re treating her at no cost, because getting her the care she needs is what truly matters.
We later learned the provider who injected the filler was not only untrained in aesthetics, but also no longer board-certified by ABOG. 🛑 When we reported the issue to the product manufacturer, we found the provider didn’t have an active account, raising concerns about how the product was sourced. 🚩
Huge thanks to Dr. Kelly Johnson-Arbor @kjatoday, Medical Director of Hyperbaric Medicine, for her generosity, expertise, and true partnership in helping us coordinate urgent care for this patient.
If you’re considering injectables, ask who’s treating you. Choose board-certified plastic surgeons or trained injectors who use verified products, follow safety protocols, and can manage complications, not just perform injections.
Your safety matters more than anything!

Dr. Arsalan (@arsalanplastics) reshapes the male chest with precision VASER liposuction + fat grafting 💪
This patient in his mid-twenties is lean, disciplined, and lifts regularly, but like many men, he struggled with stubborn lower chest fat and underdeveloped pecs that didn’t quite match his athletic build.
Dr. Arsalan used VASER Liposuction, an advanced ultrasound-assisted technique, to precisely remove fat from the lower chest. That fat was then purified and injected into the pectoralis major using ultrasound guidance, enhancing projection and symmetry for a more sculpted, masculine chest.
Even with clean eating and consistent training, some areas, like the lower chest, can hold on to volume. In these cases, VASER and targeted fat grafting can help create balance and definition that better complements your physique.
Want to level up your chest aesthetics? Schedule your consultation with Dr. Arsalan today! 👇

🎥 Face the Facts with Dr. Wang: When Do We Use Cadaveric Rib Cartilage?
Not all rib cartilage is created equal, especially in complex rhinoplasty. 🦴
In this episode, Dr. Lexie Wang explains when she prefers to use your own rib cartilage (the gold standard) versus when cadaveric rib may be the better option.
🔹 History of chest trauma or surgery
🔹 Age-related cartilage calcification
🔹 Patient choice and consent
Using your own cartilage offers unmatched safety and reliability, but in specific situations, donor cartilage be the preferred way path. Dr. Wang breaks it all down in this episode of Face the Facts!

Lower Blepharoplasty Transformation with Dr. Wang 👀
This 30-year-old patient came to us after years of trying all the eye creams with little improvement. Her main concern: hollowness under the left eye and puffiness on the right, especially after major weight changes.
Now at 3 months post-op, her under-eye area is noticeably brighter, smoother, and more refreshed. She doesn’t even wear makeup anymore!
➡️ Lower blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid surgery, repositions or removes herniated fat and can tighten or remove excess skin under the eyes. It’s a long-lasting solution for puffiness, hollowing, and shadowing, concerns that creams and filler often can’t fully correct.
We’ve included a smiling photo too, because results should still look natural when you’re expressing emotion!

This 24-year-old patient came to Dr. Arsalan (@arsalanplastics) looking to enhance her breast volume and overall profile, while keeping things soft, balanced, and natural-looking.
To bring her vision to life, Dr. Arsalan selected Motiva Ergonomix® 290cc implants, a premium choice for women seeking natural breast augmentation. Motiva implants are made with progressive gel technology that allows them to respond to movement, so they look fuller when lying down and more teardrop-shaped when upright. Their smooth surface and low-profile design also help minimize visible edges, rippling, and overly round upper pole fullness.
While her transformation is already taking shape, it’s important to know that breast implants typically settle into their final position over the course of 6 weeks to 3 months as swelling subsides and tissues relax.
✨ Most patients return to work within 5–7 days, resume light workouts by week 3, and get back to full activity by 6 weeks, depending on how they heal individually.
This patient is just one month post-op and already loving the change!
