Face Lift

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 are 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 "platysmaplasty" may be recommended. In some cases, a facelift can reduce the outward signs of aging by ten or fifteen years.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a procedure, most often performed in the office, that restores a more youthful, well-rested, and vibrant appearance to the eyes by redistributing fat bags and removing excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.

Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids, puffy bags above and below your eyes, redundant upper eyelid skin, and hanging lower lid skin. All of these features can give you the appearance of being older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision. While it can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage.

Forehead Lift

A forehead lift or "browlift" is a procedure, performed on an outpatient basis, that restores a more youthful, refreshed, and cheery look to the forehead, eyebrows and upper eyelid areas. By removing excess skin, the procedure corrects drooping brows, improves the horizontal lines and furrows that can make you look angry, sad or tired, and tightens the skin of the upper eyelid. The incisions are well hidden along the frontal hairline or in the hair. A limited incision browlift is another alternative.  This type of browlift uses a short scar and is perfect for patients needing rejuvenation along the lateral brow. 

The particular type of incision to be used is dependent on your goals and desires. Also, a forehead lift is often performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a facelift to provide a smoother, overall balanced look to the eyes and face.

Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty (surgery to reshape the nose) can change the size of your nose (smaller or bigger), take off a hump, change the shape of the tip, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems by straightening the septum. There are so many possible ways to change the appearance of the nose that it is important that you have a specific idea of what you would like corrected.
