Facelift
( Rhytidectomy)

Over time, the long-term effects of gravity, exposure to sun, dry air, and general stress takes its toll on an individual's face and neckline.  Jowls can develop under the jawline with folds and fat deposits.  Sometimes creases begin to form between the nose and the mouth.

A facelift can considerably reduce these signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and redraping the skin around the neck and face.  Facelifts can be done alone, or frequently performed in conjunction with another procedure such as a browlift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.  If your problem areas are limited to the neck, a more conservative procedure, known as a "necklift" will be recommended.  In some cases, a facelift can reduce the outward signs of aging by ten or fifteen years.

Eyelid Surgery
(Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids.  The procedure can correct drooping upper lids that tend to sag with time and the puffy bags below the eyes.   Blepharoplasty can be done as a single procedure, or in conjunction with other facial surgery such as a facelift or a browlift.

Nose Reshaping
(Rhinoplasty)

Surgery to reshape the nose, (rhinoplasty) is among the most common plastic surgery procedures.  This procedure can reduce or increase the size of the nose, remove an unwanted hump, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the width of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip.  The procedure restores an improved balance between the nose and other facial features. We take great care to achieve a natural result and to avoid the "surgical" look.

Forehead Lift

A forehead lift or "browlift" is used to correct a drooping browline (eyebrow area) reducing the horizontal lines and furrows (worry lines) that often make a person appear angry, sad or tired.  The procedure creates a refreshed, youthful appearance to the forehead area above the eyes.

When performing a forehead lift procedure, muscles and tissue areas that droop or cause creases are removed or corrected to smooth the skin on the forehead to reduce frown lines and raise the eyebrows.  There are two surgical methods, and during your initial consultation the procedure that works best for you will be recommended.  The first is the most conventional method where a surgical incision is hidden just above the hairline.  Browlifts are also performed using an endoscope which enables the procedure to be performed with a minimal number of incisions.  While the traditional method can sometimes attain more lift, both methods create smoother, flatter skin on the forehead.
