Facial Procedure Services & Specialties
Face Lift (Rhytidectomy)
A facelift is a common type of cosmetic procedure that can smooth signs of aging, including:
- Deep creases
- Double chin
- Fold lines
- Jowls
- Loose skin
There are several types of procedures a surgeon can use to help you achieve your goals and get long-lasting results. Your provider will work closely with you to help you determine which procedure is right for you.
Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
Smooth forehead lines with a brow lift, also known as a forehead lift. This procedure reduces the wrinkle lines that develop horizontally across the forehead, across the bridge of the nose, and between the eyes to help gain a more youthful appearance. The procedure also helps to improve frown lines, the vertical creases that develop between the eyebrows, and raises sagging brows that are hooding the upper eyelids.
Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
Look more rested and alert with eyelid surgery (also called an eye lift or blepharoplasty), which gives a rejuvenating appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes. It reduces bagginess from lower eyelids and removes excess skin from the upper eyelids. While this surgery is usually done for cosmetic reasons, it can also help to improve sight in people whose sagging upper eyelids get in the way of their vision.
Neck Lift
The neck area is often the first area to show visible signs of aging, including sagging, wrinkling, and a double chin or “turkey waddle.” A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, can help you achieve a more youthful looking jawline and neck.
Ear Surgery
Gain confidence with ear reshaping. Ear surgery, or otoplasty, can improve the shape, position, and proportion of the ear. It can correct a birth defect in the ear that becomes more noticeable with age or is caused by injury. Ear surgery creates a natural shape, while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem.
Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Put your best features forward. Your nose is an important central facial feature, and nasal characteristics affect the balance and aesthetic appeal of your entire face. Rhinoplasty surgery can correct a wide or crooked nose, remove unwanted bumps, and refine the nose shape for an improved appearance. It may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural abnormalities in the nose.
