Facelift
Sun exposure, weight fluctuation, and the natural
aging process make skin loosen and sag, resulting
in wrinkles and jowls. The muscles on the neck
can slacken, too, causing you to look years older
than you are. Facelift is a surgical procedure
designed to eliminate face and neck wrinkles simultaneously,
thereby rejuvenating the skin and restoring your
youthful appearance. Fresh, taut skin can make
you look decades younger!
Facelift starts with incisions made along the
hairline, by the ear, on the chin, or along the
earlobe. Next, excess skin is lifted and removed.
The remaining skin is then smoothened, tightened,
and secured with sutures or small metal clips.
Depending on the condition of your skin and your
desired results, the procedure may take up to
three hours. Side effects may include swelling,
numbness, bruising, and tightness, but most patients
report little pain and only minor discomfort.

Blepharoplasty
Droopy, puffy eyes and eyelids can make you appear
tired or older than you are. Cosmetic/reconstructive
eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, can
restore the skin around your eyes to its natural,
youthful appearance and drastically reduce the
signs of aging. In some cases, it can even improve
vision impaired by sagging lids.
The blepharoplasty procedure begins with an incision
made along the eyelid. Excess fat, muscle, and
skin are then trimmed away from the eyelid. This
outpatient procedure, which typically takes one
to three hours, is performed under anesthesia
and is considered to be permanent in many cases
(although it will not prevent natural aging).
Following surgery, side effects such as dry eyes,
swelling, bruising, and sensitivity to light may
occur, but will fade within 10 days.

Forehead
Lift
Horizontal lines on the forehead and creases above
the nose can make you look tired, sad, angry,
or older than you truly are. These wrinkles are
intensified by sun exposure, heredity, and weight
gain or loss. Forehead lift can make the face
look years--even a decade—younger by tightening
and lifting forehead skin, thereby eliminating
wrinkles and expression lines. The end result
is a more refreshed, youthful appearance.
During endoscopic forehead lift (usually chosen
by younger patients who are just developing brow
wrinkles), an endoscope is inserted below the
skin, and the skin and underlying muscles are
lifted and tightened. The brow will heal in the
new position. Both the standard and endoscopic
forehead lift methods are often combined with
other facial cosmetic procedures, including face
lift, collagen and BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, or blepharoplasty.

safely, and easily. In addition,

Collagen
Collagen is the fibrous protein that gives skin
its elasticity. Collagen injections have been
used for decades to replenish the skin's suppleness
and to help maintain its youthful appearance.
Collagen is a safe, non-surgical treatment that
can smooth out facial lines, wrinkles, and scars.
The effects of collagen injections can last between
four and six months. Collagen injections can be
repeated as necessary. To learn more about collagen,
please contact us today.

Restylane
Restylane is a revolutionary solution to wrinkles
and thin lips. It gently smoothens away fine lines
around the lips and mouth and on the forehead,
leaving no scars at the injection sites. Restylane
is completely biodegradable and contains no animal
proteins, so it is natural and considered extremely
safe.
Recently FDA approved, this new filler is available
in three tissue varieties—Restylane, Restylane
Fine Lines, and Restylane Perlane. Restalyne is
primarily used for lip enhancement (especially
to prevent lipstick “bleeding”) and
wrinkle correction, while Restylane Fine Lines
is most effective in filling fine, superficial
lines in the chin and cheeks. Restylane Perlane
is used for shaping facial contours and for lip
augmentation. Performed in 30-minute sessions,
Restylane treatments are long lasting and can
be repeated as necessary, typically every six
to 12 months.

Otoplasty
When a child or young adult has especially large
or protruding ears, self-esteem can suffer. Ear
pinning (or otoplasty) is a surgical procedure
that can change the size and shape of the ears.
This procedure is most commonly performed between
the ages of five and 14, but it can be performed
on adults as well. Ear pinning is a highly effective
procedure that can improve both appearance and
self-confidence. It is fast, safe, and extremely
effective.
Otoplasty begins with an incision made behind
the ear, after which excess cartilage is removed.
Remaining cartilage is then sutured—or pinned—into
place and left to heal. Ear pinning takes one
to two hours to complete, and most normal activities
can be resumed within several weeks.

Rhinoplasty
Changing the shape or size of your nose 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. The procedure can also correct crookedness,
injuries, and breathing abnormalities that arise
due to problems with the internal structures of
the nose. The results of rhinoplasty can increase
your confidence and improve the balance and proportions
of your face.
During the rhinoplasty procedure, which is performed
under either general or local anesthesia, incisions
are made along the rims of the nostrils. By placing
the incisions inconspicuously, there should be
virtually no visible scarring. If the nose is
being made smaller, the cartilage is carefully
fractured and reset. If a bump is being removed,
the excess cartilage is scraped away. Depending
on the individual, rhinoplasty takes one to two
hours to complete, and complete recovery takes
up to a month.
If you think that rhinoplasty is the right procedure
for you, please contact
our practice today.
