Facial Surgery

Short-Scar Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

This procedure is presently the most advanced surgical procedure performed to improve your facial aging. A complete facelift performed via a shorter facial incision that results in nearly invisible facial scarring.

Neck Lift (“Corset” Platysmaplasty)

This is a correction of the aging necks, redundant skin, excessive fatty tissue, and muscle laxity. It is frequently performed at the same time as a facelift

Brow Lift

Correction of a badly wrinkled forehead and sagging brow may be made using an endoscope passed through small incisions in the scalp.

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

This corrects:

Loose, sagging skin that creates folds and disturbs the contour of the upper eyelid
Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids
Bags under the eyes
Droopiness at the lower eyelid
Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelids
Commonly performed with short-scar facelift, but is also frequently performed before a patient is quite ready for a facelift

Nose Surgery- (Rhinoplasty)

Surgery of the nose can change:

Nose size
Nose width at the bridge and tip
Visible humps or depressions of the bridge
Nasal tip- too large or bulbous, drooping, upturned
Nostrils – too large or too wide

An incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip that separates the nostrils. The soft tissues that cover the nose are gently raised, allowing access to reshape the nose

Prominent Ear Surgery - Otoplasty

Otoplasty is a form of ear surgery performed to set disproportionately large or prominent ears closer to the head

Soft Tissue Fillers

Temporary soft tissue fillers help to diminish fine facial lines and restore volume and fullness to the face. They can be used for :

Plump thin lips
Improve shallow contours
Soften creases and wrinkles

However, only surgery can lift. Fillers can only delay the time when a facelift is appropriate. They are not a substitute for surgery.

Congenital Facial Reconstruction - Cleft Lip

Cancer Facial Reconstruction - Removal and replacement of nose

I sincerely appreciate my patients graciously allowing the use of their photos for educational purposes. They may help alleviate the anxiety of a patient considering plastic surgery as well as support others with their decision to proceed with plastic surgery.
