FACE LIFT
No two faces age in the same way, but similar factors affect all of us. Over time, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and stresses of daily life can be seen on our faces. These various factors act in differing degrees and necessitate the need for multiple treatments to obtain a natural and harmonious look.
One of the most elegant ways to address facial aging due to gravity is to elevate the facial fat by use of a Rhytidectomy or face lift. An artistic, almost invisible incision is placed in around the ear. When well healed it is difficult to detect this incision in most patients. Frequently many patients also experience laxity of the brow and upper and lower eyelids. Oftentimes, falling of the patient’s eyebrows, especially toward the outside of the eye, results in a tired and sad look. Less than one inch incisions are made in the hairline and the brow is, then, successfully re-suspended in a minimally invasive fashion. Removal of a pinch of skin from the upper eyelids can help restore a crisp upper lid contour.
Obtaining a youthful, beautiful lower eyelid with a smooth transition onto the cheek is the ideal goal of lower eyelid surgery. Groundbreaking techniques for the lower eyelid have revolutionized the result that can be obtained. Additionally, a routine adjunct to facial rejuvenation is re-inflation of the face.
BLEPHAROPLASTY
Blephraoplasty changes tired looking, aged eyes into youthful, beautiful windows to your personality. Your eyes reflect your feelings, and so it is only natural for you to want them to look their best. Drooping eyelids and bags beneath the eyes can detract from otherwise young and beautiful eyes. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to improve the contours of the skin surrounding the eyes. Blepharoplasty can be performed on upper and lower eyelids together or separately, depending on your individual needs and surgical goals. Blepharoplasty can be used to remove wrinkles and tighten sagging upper eyelids. As well as remove fat and smooth the skin of the lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can be combined with other procedures (such as facelift or brow lift) to give even more dramatic results.
BROW LIFT
Lines in the forehead can make you look worried, angry, or exhausted. Deep wrinkles in the forehead form as the result of aging, sun exposure, stress, environmental damage, and other factors. Along with a furrowed forehead, your eyebrows may seem to settle downward, looking heavier, nonsurgical therapies such as injections and laser can help. A Browlift is often more effective and is a relatively simple cosmetic surgery procedure that addresses these problems. Using hidden incisions, your forehead is smoothed and your brows lifted back into their natural position.
CHEECK LIFT / MIDFACE LIFT
The midsection of the face is sometimes one of the first areas to show the effects of aging. The skin of the cheeks may begin to sag, creating a fold down to the mouth. (Alternately or in conjunction with drooping skin, the area beneath the cheekbones may become hollowed out, losing softness and smoothness.) A Cheek lift is a cosmetic procedure that can help counter these aging effects. During cheek lift, underlying fat and muscle are repositioned and the skin is lifted, tightened, and smoothed. Cheek lift can be combined with facelift or other facial procedures to produce even more striking results. Underlying forehead muscles may be tightened and excess skin is removed. The result looks very natural and erases years from your face.
RHINOPLASTY
Rhinoplasty involves changing the shape or size of your nose, which may be something you have wanted to do for a long time. Rhinoplasty can make a nose larger or smaller and can adjust the shape of the bridge, tip, or nostrils. Rhinoplasty can also correct crookedness, injuries, and breathing abnormalities due to problems with the internal structures of the nose. By placing the incisions for the rhinoplasty procedure inside the nostrils or across the thin flap of skin between them, rhinoplasty can be done with virtually no visible scarring. Issues related to previous nasal surgery can also be corrected. (secondary rhinoplasty)
OTOPLASTY
A child with large or protruding ears often faces teasing and may suffer from a lack of self-confidence. Otoplasty is a procedure in which the ears can be made smaller and can be set back closer to the head. The procedure is most often done on children between the ages of 5 and 15, but most frequently it is performed on older teenagers and adults. Overall, the procedure can improve appearance and significantly bolster self-esteem.
FAT TRANSFER
Many areas of the body deflate with age. Fat transfer moves fat cells from one area of the body to another location. It can be used to fill in wrinkles, scars, and other imperfections as well as to plump up the lips or cheeks. Donor sites may include the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and other areas where fat cells are available. Fat transfer is sometimes preferable to other procedures because it uses cells from your own body. Fat transfer is a safe and natural way to obtain a more youthful appearance and is often combined with other procedures for an optimum result.
LIP ENHANCEMENT
Full lips are often associated with beauty and attraction. Lip enhancement is a procedure designed to help people with thin lips achieve the look they desire. Lip enhancement can be done on either the top or bottom lip or both. Lip enhancement can be achieved with injectable fillers or your own fat. All methods have pro’s and con’s and we will pick the right means for you during your consultation.
NECK LIFT
With time, many people notice that the skin on their necks begins to wrinkle and sag. People may also develop heavy jowls or loose skin under the chin. Necklift is a procedure designed to address these problems. During necklift, excess fat and skin are removed from the neck. Muscles may also be tightened in order to improve the results. The procedure can make a big difference in how a person looks and feels about him or herself. Often combined with facelift, necklift is an effective way to look younger and better.
