Face and Neck

Face Lift

A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop the aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re draping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift or eyelid surgery.

Forehead Lift

A forehead lift, also called a brow lift, corrects the sagging or low position of the eyebrows softens horizontal creases across the forehead and erases the worried or angry expression that can result from frown lines. The outcome is a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.

Eyelid Surgery

Cosmetic eyelid surgery (also called blepharoplasty) can remove fat and drooping skin of the upper eyelids, minimize bags under the eyes and tighten the lower eyelid skin. The result is a more alert and rested appearance.

Mid-Face Lift

Mid face lift surgery targets the area around the nose, eyes, and corners of the mouth. These procedures are particularly effective for patients seeking cheek elevation when the neck and areas beneath the chin do not require lifting.

Chin Surgery (Mentoplasty)

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.

Otoplasty/Ear Pinning

Otoplasty is any cosmetic surgery of the ear. A common type, ear pinning, brings the ears closer to the head or lessen the appearance of large ears. Otoplasty can also correct ears that have congenital deformities as well as those caused by trauma or the habit of ear pulling. Some types of ear pinning involve removing a sliver of cartilage from the back of the ear and suturing the cartilage back together. This reshapes the ear to be smaller or closer to the head.
