Dr. Sam Jejurikar, MD

For breast augmentation recovery, discomfort is managed using Journavx, a non-opioid pain medication, administered three hours before the procedure and then every twelve hours as needed post-operatively. Once breast augmentation incisions are healed (typically 4-6 weeks post-op), patients transition to silicone-based scar treatments. For breast augmentation, the Motiva Preservé technique is offered, which can lead to a faster recovery, with patients often returning to normal activities in about one week. This procedure offers minimal downtime, minimal swelling, hidden scars, and a beautiful natural shape, with patients often returning to their normal routine and seeing incredible results as early as one week post-procedure. Dr. Jejurikar's philosophy for facial rejuvenation emphasizes that beautiful results are revealed in the relationships between different facial areas, rather than being created in one isolated area. The practice offers a 'Restoration Edit,' a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan guided by facial architecture, profile, movement, and the way light travels across the face. The approach considers structures influencing the entire facial composition, avoiding treatment of concerns as isolated lines or hollows. Facial rejuvenation treatments utilize a combination of biostimulation and strategic HA filler placement, which creates immediate refinement and supports a longer-term approach to facial longevity. The desired result is not a new face, but a more rested, cohesive version of the patient's existing face, with treatment goals including refined support, softer transitions, and preserved identity. A dental block is included when appropriate for procedures. The patient care team includes RNs like Caitlin and Shayden, who assist patients from initial consultation through recovery and are involved both before and after surgery. The practice values staff experience from diverse backgrounds, such as trauma surgical ICU and plastic surgery OR, as it enhances patient safety, preparation, and attention to detail. Safety and comfort are top priorities for Dr. Sam Jejurikar and his team. GalaFLEX mesh is used as an internal bra to reinforce and support new implant positions long term during breast revision surgeries. Revision breast surgery requires careful planning and the right support structures, with a focus on achieving long-lasting and predictable outcomes. Dr. Jejurikar highly recommends retinoic acid as a skincare ingredient, noting its ability to speed up skin turnover, activate collagen-producing fibroblasts, and drive new collagen synthesis to reverse visible signs of aging. For dropped subpectoral implants, a revision may involve changing to Motiva implants of the same size with an internal bra (supportive internal bioresorbable mesh) for long-term stability. The practice uses ultrasound with an iPad for monitoring breast implants, allowing patients to see images in real-time. Jointly identifying a ruptured implant with the patient in the office using ultrasound facilitates clearer communication and easier conversations. Dr. Jejurikar notes that past approaches to lip filler, using high volumes (3-5cc) in a single treatment, often led to unnatural aesthetics by prioritizing volume over proportion and lip anatomy. The current trend in lip aesthetics is shifting towards restraint for better, more natural-looking results.
