It’s an honor to be highlighted in Volume One of the 2026 issue of W Magazine—on stands now—featuring the most in-demand surgeons and the newest techniques defining aesthetics today.
This editorial explores the rise of next-generation facelift techniques, the artistry behind deep-plane lifts, and the shift toward natural, structurally refined results in 2026.
As always, I’m grateful to be part of the evolving conversation around innovation, precision, and patient-centered beauty!

I’m not the best public speaker (gulp) but looking forward to tomorrow’s @globalwellnesssummit Master Class with fellow 2021 wellness trend forecasters @beth_mcjaggar and @eglusac , and our esteemed moderator @nancyadavis . RSVP using link in bio.
Saw this beauty yesterday, a true herald of spring and good things to come. Called Mourning Cloak here and Camberwell Beauty in the UK, it’s the first butterfly to come out of hibernation and the longest-lived of any butterfly species. #tewksburytownship #naturewalkskeptmesane
My heart goes out to my dear friend @melaniebrandman , who just lost her best friend, Addie the bulldog. She was such a sweet dog, and I will remember her fondly. Even the time she chewed on a favorite Louboutin. Rest In Peace, Addie.
Today and every day I’m grateful to all on the front line of the battle we find ourselves fighting- doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, first responders, providers of food and household goods, farmers, store personnel, delivery-service employees, teachers, truckers, Gov. Cuomo(!)... the list goes on. I’m so thankful to have a beautiful home in which to hide out and gardens that embody hope and renewal as they wake from winter slumber. Last but certainly not least I’m blessed with incredible friends and family members. Together we will get through this. Please keep safe and well, everyone. ❤️ (Long-lasting produce from @flipsidefarmcsa ; hotel silver and English garden trug from dear friend @aliceminnich ’s chic shop @larger cross. #shopsmallshoplocal)
Delicious breakfast this morning with @ireneforte and @jessicarichardsbeauty in honor of Irene’s gorgeous new skincare line’s NYC debut at @shenbeauty . Table was strewn with beautiful fruits and flowers. Oh, and like 10 platters of pastries. This being a group of beauty editors/writers, the pastries remained virtually untouched. But the goody bags of divine-smelling, all-natural products were devoured by all. @santambroeus
I love a good game of croquet in the middle of winter in Napa. And I ADORE amazing facials, yummy wine and hilarious conversations with @pietrosimoneofficial . Thank you, Pietro, @meadowoodnapavalley and @dfiske for a lovely time. ❤️
