Brow Lift

A brow lift is a facial surgery procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the brow and eye area. It corrects drooping brows while reducing the horizontal lines and furrows that can make you appear angry, sad, or tired.

Chin Surgery

Chin surgery, or mentoplasty, is a facial plastic surgery procedure that reshapes the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone.

Ear Pinning

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually performed on children between the ages of four and 14 to set prominent ears back closer to the head or reduce the size of large ears.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery is a procedure to remove fat, usually along with excess skin and muscle, from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes.

Facelift

A facelift is designed to reduce or improve signs of aging in the lower and middle areas of the face. It removes excess facial fat, tightens underlying muscles, and redrapes the skin of the face and neck.

Facial Implants

Facial implants are used to improve and enhance facial contours. Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features, making you feel better about how you look.

Fat Grafting

Fat cells are extracted from a harvest site and reinjected beneath the facial skin during facial fat grafting. Fat can correct skin depression, minimize forehead wrinkles, or enhance the lips.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser Skin Resurfacing techniques improve the overall appearance of the skin on your face. The Coherent CO2 laser can remove wrinkles and blemishes and is used for laser-assisted blepharoplasty and lower eyelid surgery.

Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation procedures are available for patients who feel their lips are too small or thin. Popular methods include injecting Juvéderm or surplus fat from the patient’s body, but a silicone lip implant may also be inserted to improve the size of the lips.

Neck Lift

Necklift surgery can correct visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of the neck. Good candidates have some skin elasticity and well-defined bone structure.

Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, can reduce or increase its size, change the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip.

Benefits of Facial Procedures

Facial procedures can offer several potential advantages. These may include:

Improved Facial Symmetry: Many procedures aim to create a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance by addressing asymmetries in features like the nose, chin, or cheeks.
Reduction of Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Procedures such as facelifts and brow lifts can smooth the skin, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and creases.
Restoration of Volume: Dermal fillers or fat grafting, in particular, can restore volume to areas like the cheeks and lips, creating a fuller, more youthful look.
Refined Facial Contours: Procedures like rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) or genioplasty (chin augmentation) can refine the contours of specific facial features, improving overall facial harmony.
Addressing Specific Concerns: Facial procedures can address specific concerns such as a prominent hump on the nose, a receding chin, or sagging jowls.
